Now if you could narrow down the ‘time period’ for us guest. Less than a day or the whole year you had to put the case forward?
It is all very clear.

The donations collected between SHAN'T and SHAN'T totalled £SHAN'T and I donated them to SHAN'T.

That's such a good point! She'd have dropped the pretence well before the year was up if she wasn't benefiting from it.

So. Fucking. Sketchy.

Honestly my opinion of so many people has gone right in the over the last three years.

Just been having a grunk and thinking about all the Patreon rewards she said she caught up on when questioned. I mean, even when I was just selling my old cds/dvds and the odd bit of unwanted clothes on ebay, one thing I always, always got, was the proof of postage receipt at the post office. She must have boxes of them, you know with being so ~forensic~

Oh dear, that hasn’t aged well, has it

It's interesting that over this whole year of Heckin' Big Decluttering all she's talked about is giving away stuff, rather than selling it. Giving away 16 filing cabinets, her big dining table, finding hoarded hair dyes under the stairs etc etc etc. Those is not the actions of someone who actually needs money. In fact, it sounds like the very opposite.

Did she even instruct lawyers in any aspect to Sue Lee?
An @ on the hellsite doesn't constitute any formal setting off for legal proceedings, letters of intent, request to take down a post/tweet
Bet you she didn't even make any further contact with MarkMate

Well exactly. Over the weekend our school uniform sale page on Facebook has exploded with what I presume is year 11 clothing. I've never seen so much of it. People are desperate to generate money wherever they can.

Also this giving stuff away to people who 'need it more' helps bolster the 'thanks for all the good you do' nonsense.

Hoping to find some empathy with Jack and her still ongoing heckin' big declutter woes, I decided to have a look what's in my cupboard under the stairs (only really open it when the meters need reading) Christmas tree/decorations. Patio furniture cushions. Lots of old shoes that need binning. Shite I took out of my car boot before its last MOT, and the big win- two disposable barbecues. Sadly no hair dye, because even if I did still do my own colour, like any normal person, I'd probably keep it in the bathroom, rather than out of sight, out of mind. I bet she's one of those liars who hides new purchases at the bottom of the wardrobe, then when asked about it, trots out that "oh this old thing? I've had it years" line

Well if she did she didnt I’m sure she will show us the formal letter confirming the instruction, which any lawyer would send their client when instructed.
She did say she decided to drop the case due to her health, so she will have an instruction letter as well as other paperwork from her lawyer and team of paralegals.

So true. I am currently trying to sell all of our baby equipment and too small kid’s bikes, all in excellent condition. It’s an absolute ballache and I’ve lost count of the number of people who have messed me around, but we can’t afford to give stuff away.

Exactly. And this will have cost money. How did she pay for it? She didn't use the donations, she gave them to a food bank!

Yeh, I went recently to the one in Manchester and I can't see it myself. I wonder if it's a 'oh you civilians won't ever have been to an Ivy and therefore will just assume anything could happen'.

It’s a chain these days, but years ago it was “The Ivy” I feel like it’s near Leicester Square/Covent Garden
