Well well well Ninnies, here I am in real time. I get that this influx may be overwhelming when you’ve been such a tight wee crew for so long, but please be reassured that although one of us is bound to be guest, the majority of us aren’t and have been grunking away desperate to join in for around a year. Yes, tattle registration was locked for that long. I’ve been using frau language in my everyday life in an attempt to find a maven in the wild and beg for a code for months now. So yes we are pretty fluent. For what it’s worth I don’t think guest would deign to use this language she inadvertently helped to create.

I love that you’ve welcomed us with a run down of guests greatest hits and urged us to read thread 31 but, honestly, I’ve been here longer than some of you. I just couldn’t join. I too have had more than one proud moment of appearing here as a squig. @Awfully Molly I for one am so glad you are here. It must’ve been a lot to be attacked from all sides even the side you were trying your best to help. Without you I never would’ve known about this grifting shitebag.

I never donated to her cos I’m tight af and didn’t pay her much attention but I do remember seeing her make a guilt inducing point about the assumption that those in poverty have more than one pan to cook with or have a stove at all (or something similar - can’t remember exactly) and I felt like a stupid middle class scumbag. What I’m saying is she made a point that stuck with me back in the day so I followed her. I’m genuinely gobsmacked to discover this perpetual grift and I can’t look away.

She is obviously very unwell but it is hard to sympathise with someone who repeats the same behaviour, rinsing the very poverty stricken folk she claims to campaign for, for A DECADE!!!! LJC! How has she managed this thieving in plain sight for so long??? There has been so much that sometimes the early hits get forgotten. What *really* happened to that first massive intake of 68k? She only wanted 8k… surely her jack maths wasn’t off by 60k???

Anyway, I’m glad to finally be here. I hope that one of you fraus has a contact at Netflix. I would watch this.

Totally off on a tangent, but while compiling the Bread and Jam shite, I’ve just come across one of her old fart articles and I spy a contradiction here…
2013: In making the argument that CLEVER children like her DESERVE grammar school, she enters the infants with the reading age of a seven year old and ALL the parent governors “joke” that they’ll bring her down a peg or two.
This article absolutely typifies “socialist” ME ME ME guest, by the way.

I'm A Socialist... BUT I Support Southends Grammar Schools.

I have to profoundly disagree with Labour Councillor Julian Ware-Lane's allegations that grammar school places go to children who are 'coached' or other Essex children apparently undeserving of pla...

2019: In this tale, her reading skillz have become examples of her “autistic superpowers” in the face of the patriarchy, and these formative events have changed somewhat. Now she’s six, it’s long after she’s entered school and it’s just ONE evil SNEERING parent Governor

Like 16-year-old climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, I think differently. If only certain blinkered men could respect that…

She cannot be trusted to tell the truth about one single solitary fucking thing.

Oh, and she’s definitely here. Fuck off, guest. This forum is about you, not for you.

Ah bless you tenderstem! I am definitely not a celebrity chef - the best I manage is making a decent fist of a Hello Fresh box on a weeknight.

Can confirm I am also definitely NOT guest, as I have two (two!) beautiful hydrangeas that I planted outside my forever home that are now flowering delightfully, and I kn'ow how to use apo'strophe's...

A year?! It hasn't been anywhere near that long! About 6 months.

Anyway it's probably best to not start on who's been here longer. People had 4 and half years to register before it went invite only for a bit - years after it gained notoriety and was regularly mentioned in national media.

What extreme delusion to think the governers of the school are so interested in a single pupil.

Too soon after breakfast for me this one. I must remember to heed spoilers around mealtimes.

ETA: Just when I think she cannot be more foul I learn about her rancid oil collection.

Ahahahahha her face is one of someone who remembers something they once did wrong and wonders if this is finally the punishment for it.

I have something I’ve had bothering me since I saw the pictures here, and apologies in advance if this is something already gone over, but the pics of the “gifts” like the settee, and various other items that had labels on - were those labels meant to be written by her? Or were we meant to believe they were all written by the “giver”? I noticed they’re all in her handwriting, she uses two different ways to write a’s, which can be seen on the ridiculous busy work wallpaper.

Ok. Well I’ve been grunking more than 6 months and I’ve been trying to register for a loooooong time. I didn’t even know tattle existed before AM. I only mentioned how long I’ve been here because people are suspicious that we seem to know the language and events. It seems immediate to you but we feel like we already know you.

They all LEFT.

Pretty obvious to all and sundry that the production team have assigned her three minders to keep her away from - well, from everything, I expect.
I don't usually judge appearance - we are all as God and natural selection made us - but on this occasion I will make an exception.

She looks an absolute farking melt!

She wrote the labels herself to show how much she’s defined by her material possessions and how much everyone loves her (yes, really).

And has apparently regressed.

What is she talking about? I do not know the job titles of any of my friends. Even business contacts I'd proabably have to look them up, She is so unemployable it is unlikely she will have a job title again. That's nothing to be proud of.

WAIT!?! SHE WAS SELLING THAT DRESS?

I'd always assumed it was something she'd made for herself on a lark like the tincancandles.

(As I've said before, I'm all for people making the shittiest crafts as that is how one learns and improves (I create some monstrosities) but to sell it????)

I was curious how long I'd been here, maybe a month or two I thought....

Almost a year!!

Whoop.

Jack did things arse about face as usual. You’re supposed to find a wealthy OH before you quit your job and start a crap craft business. MLMs are another option.

Just think. If she’d married city boy she could be living in a crushed velvet paradise in Essex, making landfill fodder on her Cricut machine, and these threads would never have existed.

Those crafts. Imagine being that arrogant and delusional. She really does inhabit an alternate reality and the fact she's been given a platform for her "cooking" (which is about as appealing as a grubby, uniorned cross stitch in a fame she found in a skip) makes me want to hurl a chair through a window.

Her earliest blog posts, Echo columns and letters to the editor are still utterly mindblowing to me. She’s such an arrogant, delusional, deeply unpleasant tosser with a nasty tory middle englander mentality that is years and years beyond her actual age. I mean, her dream job at twenty fucking four years old (for which she wasn’t qualified) was Macebearer to the fucking mayoralty FFS

(For the uninitiated amongst us, of which I was one and had to look it up!)

Thanks to @Mel Donte for capturing this “ten thousand fictional justifications why I can’t drive”

Urgh.

It's all one great big embellished lie after another isn't it? Steaming horseshit.

I'm sure most of us have come across people like this at one point or another. Quite astonishing how she's managed to keep it going whilst in the public eye.

As for what guest does all day, who knows. Ruby Tandoh is doing an ice cream guide and has been tasting hundreds of ice creams across the country. Maybe Jack is doing the same with sideboards ().

Wow Ruby is #livingthedream. Do you know if she's doing Scotland as I have suggestions!
