A "coven of mavens" actually has a really nice ring to it in my opinion. I'm blushing at the lovely compliment from R Jackie

She is a fucking hypocrite she posts triggering posts yet calls this app out

she has been asked what are her guidelines for posting on SM to avoid triggering

Umm she doesn’t have any re ED but in general

1: Sad fish
2: It’s all about meeeeeee
3: Will this get me attention
4: Meeeeeeee
5: Sad fish
6: Tweet delete

A nice groundbreaking statement from our Dear Heart. Sick of her making obvious statements that easily yield heaps of RTs as if she's ever done anything to support the Windrush campaign (a quick Google finds nothing). I find it an absolute gall that you make statements like this while cosying up to Sarah Vine and the Goves on Twitter, hun x

My husband has over 11,000 unread emails in his inbox (maybe he’s been scouted??) at any given time and every time I see that notification, my eye starts twitching........ aaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhhh

Thank you prawny and to everyone else thinking of me too, I'm dipping in and out mainly on the ptwm threads but have been briefly over here, I see there is another new thread now but not going to see what I've missed yet let me guess it's Jack being her usual wacky chaos self.
I've been prescribed antidepressants but haven't got them yet, hopefully can start tomorrow. its been a huge bonus to have a gp actually listen to me and am feeling a bit better, I've been in a terrible state lately and realised it's the best thing to back off from Jack for a bit. Can't get talking therapy yet, they won't do telephone counselling with me as my ptsd is so complex but hoping medication will help in the meantime.
I'm going to try and catch up soon but I'm not pressuring myself to do so.

It took 3 friends and myself 2 days to make some of these delicious dolmas, bleeding fiddly work. As they are homemade they may look rather wonky though I wish you all a lovely weekend and thank you so much you lovely hausfrau cabal. I need to step away for a few days, just to recharge my batteries. Please do tuck in.

Does she always have to be so over-dramatic about everything?!

What is it with this infantilised way of speaking? Jack does it, this follower does it “makes me so tears” the friend I’ve mentioned here before (my Jack IRL) does it - she posted something the other day which said “we done chattering” - it makes me itch

Love that she called us mavens. I hope it was an autocorrect and she’s annoyed to have called us that!

I think people find comfort in infantilising themselves, it's both a regression to a simpler time and also a product of a capitalist society which babies us in order to make us feel that we are in need of more stuff to evoke that sense of bliss last experienced in the womb. You've only got to look at Innocent smoothies with their stupid wooly hat campaign, or the utterly ridiculous signage in the bathrooms of Virgin trains about not "flushing your ex's sweater or your hopes and dreams" down the toilet to see that we're being coddled into finking we are wickle and helpless.

If I was being charitable, I'd say Jack's self-infantilisation is a product of feeling rejected as a child because other children were brought into her home and demanded attention. This is perhaps evidenced by her definite mummy type - Louisa and Allegra both had that vibe IMO.

However I think the real answer is more that it's a strategy to throw her followers off her constant lies and manipulation. "oh no, poor baby Jack, she wouldn't harm a fly". When really she's Black Phillip.

ETA: (babies us? babys us? I have no idea anymore. Time to open the wine.)

Take it easy and dont push yourself too hard @MrsOgre , I know that's easier said than done. With regards to meds if you have a fave sweet or something I always found having one a day after taking mine as a sort of rewarding myself for taking them and doing well. Also it's an excuse to treat yourself to something that is solely yours only. Hopefully it doesn't sound patronising when I say that you're doing fab for as far as you've got. (Hopefully that makes sense) Always an ear even if it's just to say, yes buy yourself those nice biscuits.

In other news JM always reminds me of my OH ex wife, which always makes me feel a little sad when I see how it's played out in real life. Plus why can't JM just make a normal cheese sandwich (other varieties are available) without turning it into some crazy recipe maverick thing.

Agreed!! It’s pathetic. It’s like something that kids do in a playground. Worryingly, it seems to be becomingly broadly popular. At the expense of sounding like miserable old git, it does seem to be a collective and wilful dumbing down of society.

I have been on an Adam Buxton podcast binge today and am half way through the one with Joe about Ad's Mum.

I can't bear to hear him cry. Isn't it funny how you grow up watching people and listening to them so much that they kinda become like family? Genuine emotion gets me every time

I've got a date with big plate of pasta so will check back with Jackie's antics later!

Yep, I take back my earlier post when I said it looked like good natured banter.

Also, I had some Irregular Choice shoes and I sold them on eBay.

<whispers> they were the most uncomfortable things I have ever put on my feet. Like walking on knives. I didn’t even make it out of the house in them.

Her mum's reply as well though about watching her friend's funeral and feeling sad....it just strikes me as so odd. Unless Jack ignores her messages like she does emails. Everything about it just seems so... odd and off.

Do you think she gets the sad fishing from her mum?
