How old is old in Nokia terms. I remember the real old ones used to have a character limit and sometimes I couldn't even finish a text in one message as I ran out of space.This is a super weird thing to zone in on, but the pictures...
Didn't she say she had to write her book on an old Nokia? So, unlikely to have a camera and if it did, back then it wouldn't have produced the quality of photos she's posted on the blog. Those were grainy as fuck.
Which suggests that a) she had a much better phone than she is claiming,, b) she owned a digital camera or c) she was paying extortionate amounts to get film developed. I'm not sure, but the photo of SB kiiiind of has that look about it?
At any rate, as always, huge exaggerations on how little she had as a and b could've been cold, and c is so expensive.

I just looked up the one she said she had and it's good deal fancier than the brick type. Trying to find out how much it would've cost in 2012 and failing.How old is old in Nokia terms.

I don't understand how she saved it either did she has a phone full of message drafts??
I loved to ask her about it sometime as I genuinely would love to know how she managed it. My old nokias were shit in comparison to hers then?
This is so, so true. It’s been a good 15/20 years since I was scarily poor and I’m still pretty frugal (as my partner often points out to me). Not stupidly so but just normal things like buying a capsule wardrobe and making clothes last for years, furniture, linen and household goods all decent quality but low to mid range, never wasting food, not really a jewellery person etc. No big flashy purchases unless the extra cost is necessary. What I’m saying is that I have the habit of buying things that are useful and making them last by looking after them carefully until they wear out and need replacing. No fast fashion, spree shopping etc. It’s a habit that people either learn early on due to their upbringing or they don’t.Most people who have grown up poor or lived through long period of being truly skint would never buy the ridiculously expensive items she has. She's right, those memories never leave you. That's just another little nugget of info she has picked up over time to make herself sound credible. What's wrong with a medium-range fridge that is decent and does the job? What about one pair of Samsung earphones instead of two pairs of Airpods? People with poverty PTSD don't behave this way when they start earning "a living wage"
Me tooOT - but sorry I can't fucking stand Sue Perkins......
Now I've never been to the Ivy (bc I ain't posh innit) but it strikes me that in such a high end establishment you just...wouldn't behave like this? Like yes okay she was celebrating which is absolutely fair enough, but drinking too much and clattering around and singing when the Ivy presumably has musicians there? At risk of sounding like a snob it's just...not how things are done? I've had cocktails in some nice places where I had to dress up nice and could only afford one drink, I went with mates just for the fun of it and to do a bit of cheeky celeb spotting not because it's a regular occurrence, and I would NEVER dream of acting so awfully in a classy joint. Even if I didn't consider myself classy on a day to day basis, you just know how to act in different social settings surely? Her lawyer must have been fucking mortified to have taken her thereI believe her tale about getting kicked out the Ivy for singing.
After all this is the girl who thinks she can sing Celine Dion perfectly. I bet she was caterwauling and showing off and thinking everyone loved it, then got the boot for making everyone’s ears bleed.
In her mind though, she got the boot for being too working class.
Liar Liar, her poverty pants are on fire.The thing that has always bugged me is her blaming benefits problems or austerity for having to move house 27 times or whatever it was. Seriously how does that happen. 27 times? It is monstrously expensive to keep moving if nothing else
Shes so entitled though, I can definitely see her acting a prickNow I've never been to the Ivy (bc I ain't posh innit) but it strikes me that in such a high end establishment you just...wouldn't behave like this?
