And the bike
Frauen I’ve just had a thought; I wonder if she’s moved back in with big chocco and ma Eve ?
What in heckington heck is an "untouchable direct debit"?
And what, pray, is a "watertight" savings account? (One that's not with Northern Rock?)
Sounds a bit like that watertight ringfencing of the Sue Lee money i.e. Jimmy Nail time.
I have a business bank account and get charged for every direct debit... wouldn't she be better doing one monthly one instead of 30 daily DDs?
Why am I even writing this....? It's all bollocky lies

Yes! My OH (hasn't left) gave me food poisoning on my birthday and I only needed rehydration on the day after the hideous night of fluid leaving my body through every available orifice. I just can't work out what could be ailing her
Also, that would be 477 days sober based on the date she gave on Facebook, not 374. That’s over a hundred daily direct debits she’s conned him out of.
I was just thinking there is no way. Maybe she means a standing order. Even so it's so stupid for someone who witches constantly about the precarious and unpredictable nature of freelance income. Imagine your gas bill direct debit bouncing because your stupid daily standing order went out first. Gaaaaaaah I know it's a lie but it's enraging because it makes you want to work out how on earth it's even possible. her lies are the thief of time and mental energy as well as of patreon dollah
Oh! And btw I was thinking the other day about her going on and on about the evil trolls that ruin every moment of her day and every part of her life. I'm like, just don't read tattle? Solves your entire problem.

I can only assume that she means a savings account that she's not a signatory to, so she can only pay in, not withdraw. But there are no such things as "untouchable direct debits", they can be cancelled at any time. They also can't be set up to transfer money between individuals, she probably means a standing order, which again can be cancelled at any time.
Why did I just waste two minutes of my life typing out an explanation for one of her ridiculous lies?
What she means is she has something like Monzo where you can (or could) set it to do things like transfer £1 a day into a pot via IFTT. They used to endlessly advertise you could set it to pay into a pot when it rained to use for summer activities on the 4 days of summer the UK gets.
Of course being the Jack we all know, she’ll have done it for about a week, then stopped it and spent the money on opal fruits and spicy Pringles.
ah, tit, just realised daria on the piano looks a bit like jack
This is an evergreen comment, appropriate at all times
Yeah exactly. Starling has similar. If you spend eg 90p you can nominate to round up so the 10p goes into a rainy day fund. I suspect that's all she means but as usual, she has to go too far so that it's no longer believable. It can't just be this, it has to be complex and special.
To clarify I didn’t misunderstand rainy day fund on the Monzo one, they literally advertised you could have money transferred automatically if it rained
and for various other things as well as rounding up for a traditional rainy day fund. The “money when it rains” ad was one of those that seemed to follow me around the internet hence remembering that in specific.
Because, reasons
Here you go. I'm surprised she's not claimed to have made it up herself.

That would do as a rough approximation of ORS. Sorry, I am a bit of a geek about this stuff (professional interest!). I thought it was a bit basic, so I compared it against the formula of a pharmacy own brand.
So her version is missing potassium. Not ideal, you need to properly balance the electrolytes you've lost. E.g. My sports rehydration drink also contains calcium and magnesium.
£2.69 is two days supply. Hardly going to break the bank for anyone!
At least she's honest about being an "avid book fan" as opposed to being an avid reader.
One of my colleagues makes his own electrolyte drink, and carries a huge bottle of it around all day. It's pale yellow, and he puts it in random old plastic bottles, and it just looks like a bottle of pipi
