I got a B in my gsce physics in 1988. That knowledge fell out of my head decades. But ackshully what I can tell everyone decades later, as I have a job working with people who will try this stuff, is DO NOT try the flowerpot heater. The pot may shatter and you might end up with terracotta and hot wax in your face. At the very least when this happens it will set fire to all your life paperwork you had on the bloody table and it will cause an absolute nightmare for your support workers. Thank(space)you.“In layman’s terms, you cannot create energy. So, a ‘free lunch’ is not possible,” Erich A Muller, professor of thermodynamics at Imperial College London, told the Big Issue.
It’s only natural the “heater” will make the room hotter – but it’s insulation that will keep it warm, Muller added. “This combustion generates heat and will raise the temperature of the space,” he said.
“The terracotta is just forcing some of the warm air from the candles to stay in place and not dissipate so rapidly, but it is doing nothing additional other than the illusion of a little heater,” Muller added.
“If you really want to save energy, there are no silver bullets: double glaze the windows, draft-proof the doors, insulate the walls cavities and ceiling, and use efficient heaters – for example, ditching the electric heater for gas or, better yet, for heat pumps.”
Surprised Professor Muller didn't recommend some other energy saving tips such as, cover your windows in bubble wrap, take all your light bulbs out, put a sheet of cardboard under your bedsheet etc. etc. etc.
Create your own magazine to sell, out of these magazines and newspapers you can buy for just £15. Don’t forget Metro is free, put some in a sock as a free gift!They would give her some to sell and she’d probably try and turn it into slop
Their brains look like your avatarDidn't you know that 'It's a truth universally acknowledged that people in the comments club are in want of a brain"
I think she might meet a lot of that criteria you know. But she does seem to be able to let stuff go (so she says) I would lean towards shopping addiction. It’s all to “project” an image, too. All the old people’s home furniture, trendy Made stuff, “thrift store finds”. Because she changes her identity more than her undercrackers it allows her new avenues to magpie.Obvs not a doctor but I don’t think what she’s doing would fall under hoarding. The NHS website explains it surprisingly well for something I’d assumed to be a real niche?!
Hoarding disorder
Read about hoarding disorder, including why it might happen, why it's a problem and what can be done about it.www.nhs.uk
But she’s not amassing worthless stuff and appears to curate it somewhat and she tries her best to present it for external approval. It just doesn’t look like the hoarder houses you see on tv / I’ve seen one recently IRL that’s in phase 2 of a hoard after a somewhat recent clear out and there’s just a v different aesthetic to the whole thing imo?
Like I think hers is an addiction to spending? Her house looks far more like those ridic early 00s shopaholic shows than anything hoarding related?
Same babeI know it shouldn't surprise me any more, 3 years into my forensic JackWatch, but I will never, ever get over just how stupid she is
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.Every now and again I’m flabbergasted all over again by the sheer amount of stuff she’s accumulated.

(ETA not sure why these two random attachments are here, sorry, but they’ll have to stay cos I can’t figure out how to fix as I’m now BUSY)
I have to admit that when I saw the photo of the crockery stacked on the Ikea wooden shelves, I genuinely thought it was a photo of a charity shop. Because I've seen charity shops with less crockery on sale than what's on Jack's shelves.That's... mind blowing. No wonder she's been packing for six months. Serious hoarding problem there - and how is it possible she accumulated so much *stuff* with the Poverty? Even if most of the crockery was charity shop finds, that's still £££ because of the sheer quantity.
Or astroturfing under the stairs and laying floors in a RENTED house with…floors.No need to apologize, it's a good piece of advice. I would however like to hear the learned professor's opinion on the energy saving potential of solar lights used indoors.

It’s Jack’s “crockery wardrobe”I have to admit that when I saw the photo of the crockery stacked on the Ikea wooden shelves, I genuinely thought it was a photo of a charity shop. Because I've seen charity shops with less crockery on sale than what's on Jack's shelves.
The struggling with tasks is not necessarily an "alongside" characteristic, as much as being caused by the hoarding- because of the chaotic environment making it impossible to find the things needed, eg a document with a reference number amidst the literal thousands of bit of paper stacked randomly in bags and boxes.Yes to spending addiction but also,View attachment 2014765
Vali I take back any beef faced trolling I may have done about Wali’s 300 bottle “perfume wardrobe” which seems sane and proportionate in comparisonIt’s Jack’s “crockery wardrobe”
(ss all from @harveydean). I’m pretty sure all this crap is still on her Insta.View attachment 2014774
And excessive purchasing in charity shops. one hundred and thirty seven pieces of cutlery not pictured.

There’s a reason those mushrooms are reduced and I’m not sure drying them on radiators will improve them
This isn't normal, but maybe she thinks it helps with her thrifty image? So poor she needs to reuse everything.
She’s wanged on (and on and on) about that for years. It’s all to do with THE POVERTY allegedly.There’s a reason those mushrooms are reduced and I’m not sure drying them on radiators will improve them
What’s that about 6yrs of unopened post? That cannot be true!
