Whoever said she expected the keys to a house at 21 is so, so right.

We don't know that she wasn't given it though. It's not uncommon for people to save for their kids'21st present. I never did but plenty i went to school with did.
I mean, no one got an actual house, but some got a couple of grand at 21

Maybe Jack's parents saved up for her? Again, not enough for an actual house but at least a bit to put towards a deposit or a car or something. Then, if she pissed it all away, she went to ask for more and the pot was empty.? She would have seen it as her parents turning against her which would explain a bit why she thinks she was in poverty and had 'no help' from her family.
She really does consider herself hard done by and cannot see that she is where she is because of her own actions (even though she is actually doing quite well for herself)
She is the ultimate spoilt brat.

(just an opinion m'lud)
[/QUOTE]
She was given an Omega Seamaster watch for her 21st which is not a budget watch

I looked her company up on company House, her company has 2 employees, so her and Caroline.

Given the quality of slop she produces, I have to conclude no-one (thankfully, for their own health) is subscribed to this tier.

I fear at least 3 people are, it says '17 left' and you'd assume she'd upload an even number like 20?

Crackers, pre cooked chicken, cucumber, some harissa mixed into ready bought mayo. So chef, much cooking. Why would this make her miss Edinburgh lol

But her dad wasn't a 'working man', her dad had a full time senior position in the fire service, if he did have a van it was a leisure vehicle so quite a luxury, tbh.

Transits are at the cheaper end of the market and obviously you get different sizes which will be cheaper, but you'd be looking at £30k+ new for the standard transits u see about, vans are expensive because they're usually commercial vehicles + leased/financed. Resell value is still high, so even a second hand van would be tens of thousands of pounds. We know someone that sold a transit that is on the brink of being written off & needs a huge amount of chassis work for £6k (!) resell is that strong. It's the only reason I 'let' my husband get our camper, as I thought it was an obscene expense tbh.

I've mentioned before but insurance is huge for it, especially if it's personal insurance because it's such a niche there aren't really off the shelf insurance products for it - we had to go to a specialist for the first few years of having ours (and paid a LOT) & have only just been able to switch over to my normal car insurer to cover it. Fuel efficiency is shit, toll roads etc are more expensive, services mad, I've written this all before but honestly if her dad *did* have a van it only goes to show they've got quite the disposable income rather than some WC scallywags that she's so desperate to portray them as.

As someone else pointed out, that snippet to a school alumni mag reads upper middle class to me sorry

I read in an article, but cannot recall which, that the van was a Fire Service vehicle therefore not used that often for personal use

Just the thought of her reminiscing over her camera roll about Edinburgh is so tragic. Pics of various whoopsies, a 5Guys drinks cup, and her standing next to a couple of expensive cars #goals

Does she not know she can make this in Southend??

Also, her kid is 10. Of course he likes lunchables. It's like saying 'the daft barbies my kid is into' or the 'daft disney movies my 8 year old likes to watch.'

Why did she buy so much chicken?! 3 packs of wafer thin chicken and then this chicken?! She was there for like 4 days.

As a 90% vegan it is obviously her duty to buy up all the chicken to prevent other disgusting carnivores from eating it

That photo is years out of date too. But but Monica Galetti....swoon!

I just looked her up on there too - How old is Jack? It says all over the companies house website that she was born in 78? Always thought she was early thirties.

It’s a misprint.

https://giphy.com/YmMwqVCtyxFRe I'd totally eat that lot to be fair, but I wouldn't call it cooking! And how does snacky bits from Sainsbury's make you feel things for Edinburgh again?

Do you think she’s reminiscing over what she actually ate, as opposed to the bolorneaise, the mushroom pasta, the cheap chicken and the out of date lettuce?

So I just clicked on the Patreon link that she listed on her ‘off Twitter but you can still contact me’ Post.
I can’t believe what I’ve just read!
View attachment 191833View attachment 191834Erm how many postcards would one person need!? What are they doing with them all?? $14 (£11!)dollars a monthView attachment 191835 A pack of 6 postcards EVERY month for £18.76, mother of God, you’d be drowning in them if you’d joined a few years ago, although that general feeling of wellbeing would be such a boost for a person
View attachment 191836Then for £34.40 a month signed framed photo only one and then all the previous rewards erm a stack of postcards!? Recipes (aren’t those given away fro free? And the sense of well-being, phew at least they have that warm glow every month View attachment 191840
For £65.67 a month you can be a whispering sous chef! A personal thanks if your idea is used erm what about actual recognition !!!
I can’t quite believe the gall!!

this is one of the most shameless things I’ve ever seen “Keep my larder stocked”.....”people who really need my recipes”!! I have no words!!!

blurstoftimes said:

Oh she mentioned her mixed race brother once around the time that she was being criticised for her white saviourism regarding BLM.

Click to expand...

this is also so incredibly shameless. Every time I start feeling sorry for this woman she does something horrendous and makes me angry all over again. She really is unbelievable!!!

ETA I remember at the start of lockdown she was moaning on twitter about losing income and immediately posted her tip jar and was asking people for help. People were donating and Someone dared to ask how on the breadline she really was as a “bestselling author” a phrase which she mentions with some frequency. The hapless questioner was shot down by he gang of acolytes. I remember feeling disgusted that she was begging money from people who were probably less wealthy and privileged than her, at the start of a period when many would doubtless lose their jobs, especially since she was still with L at the time.

And that’s what sent me here!

E again TA - I’m just grunka’ing thru the Patreon stuff and have seen the messages posted by patrons. This takes her onto another level afaic because it takes her from “merely” disingenuous, manipulative, narcissistic and trigger-y to maybe possibly appearing to be an actual honest to goodness con artist. And given her followers seem to include some quite vulnerable people, that is Not. Good.

(Only speculation m’lud, I am not saying Jack is a con artist. Obviously she is not a con artist. Just take a look at her Patreon and see for yourself.)

'I miss Edinburgh' She went to Edinburgh and spent 3 or 4 days photographing food on a small table in her hotel room. What the fuck am I missing?

Posted half an hour ago and only 3 comments...she’ll be back on Twitter by tomorrow I reckon

Here's a photo for any newcomers to the threads.



You're welcome.
