Yep and if she doesn’t pivot soon and actually have something relevant to say or do she’s going to find that her Son will be too old for her to keep going on about being a single mother who used to be on benefits. That’s still her thing and it’s tired now.

She’s just retweeted Nigella/potatoes AGAIN. How many more bloody times?
Heynigella,have you ever heard of anyone write about potatoes apart from me. Pet me on the head and tell me ( in a baby voice) I am a good girl.

I think the person doesn't believe for a minute that she wrote a book on a mobile. She keeps tripping herself up, but it really needs people with power and influence to see through her.
I must admit I struggle with this too. The phones to me weren't advance enough then to do it, I don't think. Fair enough if she used email but even then it would have been a right frustrating pain.

If she said that today I would fully get it, but I must confess I( meaning only me, my opinion and it's not legally binding) find it hard to believe.

Also to add my husband had a fancy blackberry then and I don't even think he could have managed it and weren't they the office phone at the time?

She sounded so posh in 2014. Has clearly had a bit of time to work on that mockney accent..
Well, it's not exactly plummy but it's nowhere near the weird nasal twang she has now! I'm grunkaing so back off to my timeline I go

apologies if anyone has posted this already, but earlier this evening JM put this on Twitter:

(friends/colleagues with either of my phone numbers, please check in over coming days + weeks. I know we all have our own shit going on but christ I need you all right now if I'm gonna pull through this in any sort of shape. I don't often ask for help but I'm asking now. Cheers.)

do you notice she says 'we all have our own shit going on', but then proceeds to make it all about herself. She then has the cheek to say she doesn't often ask for help - she doesn't in fact ever do much else (patreon, tip jar).

Just a thread reminder to mention she is the >>only<< person who hasn’t been invited back to saturday kitchen with some being back on more than one occasion.

Must sting but I’m not sure she realises...it was scripted.
I bet Matt occasionally dreams that Jack is booked as a guest on Saturday Kitchen, and wakes up in a cold sweat.

I personally feel like there's some kind of competition going on between her and Jameela Jamil for just how many things are on their lists...

Hopefully one day someone will ask why she didn’t ask her parents or SB’s father for help

she can’t have it both ways he is by her own words a good parent to SB yet she hid this from him ? What does that say about her statement of she will do anything for SB ? Except ask people that love him ( and her ) for help ?

I shouldn't joke really, I'm waiting for an operation on my sinuses and it's actually a really unpleasant condition. The headaches are awful but a haven't got the nasal voice thankfully.

that's definitely a night terror, not a dream.

Thanks for that. It could go some way to explaining how she is able to afford to rent a three bedroom bungalow. She is not likely to let on to her followers, or patreon donators, that she is receiving something.
Sorry if this has already been done but pip is extremely hard to apply for and get. Mr ogre is blind and had to jump through many hoops, he's now getting left alone for quite a while but for someone who fears the post so much, the dwp sends out a lot of mail (which is left up to me to read as they don't make any exceptions for visually impaired). I would dread the seemingly countless requests for reviews and appointments. So it would be hard for her to prove she has these conditions if she's only ever seen a gp. We have realms of hospital reports as evidence and they demand more and face to face assessments.
Sorry for the long rant if you've got this far!

I loved my blackberry so much & would happily have one now if it wasn’t for Apple Home, the keyboards were

The storage on early feature phones was SO limited there’s no way she managed it as one cohesive file. Also their limited processing power would have made one large file super fucking laggy & it would have just kept crashing? My BB used to crash when I was typing too quickly into large email threads, especially with pictures, and that was 2014/5?

I don’t even think it was viable on the early iPhones tbh, very possibly iPhone 4 onwards? The only viable way I can imagine she did it was email herself each individual recipe with photos attached....? There weren’t really text editors or notes apps in early smart phones either.

Dunno why I’m bothering to think about it, yet another lie. She probably wrote it on a laptop her parents bought her after she told them she got a book deal

Does anyone really want 120 “art postcards” a year? Is Jack really able to produce 120 different designs? (And can she actually post them?).

Is it going to be 120 postcards with her hands cradling a bowl filled with a variety of slops

I’m sure someone in the earlier threads likened it to the scene with all the Hogwarts letters in Harry Potter and it makes me HOOT every time I picture it. Nobody wants endless fucking postcards Jack.

Maybe she’s just shit at job applications
If she’s really had as many jobs as she’s claimed (a tattler has a list somewhere), and puts them all on her CV, then it will make her look like she can’t stick at anything for longer than a few weeks, i.e. unemployable.
