Jack's dirty nails are because she's Greek. It's skin pigmentation.

Her words not mine, so don't blame me, any Greek Fraus. I know that being Greek doesn't mean you all have dirty nails.

Since reading here, and seeing her filthy nails over and over, I have become obsessed with ensuring my nails are clean. They never were like hers, but now they shine like chickens.
She’s a soap dodger

Will she find time to put her sewing down for the night and produce some new year's resolutions, I wonder? She didn't do any last year, but for 2023 we had these:

Still waiting for the list of books...

How will we ever know what is or isn't a banger?

If her 2023 goal was to blog four times a year and to read 18.3 books it still would have been inaccurate 😀

It's a little more complicated. He may have been eligible in primary if his father was earning an extremely low income when he started school and the family were in receipt of Tax Credits. This entitlement would be carried by him until phase change (ie, end of Primary) - but the earnings limit was very low, the sort of thing that would be earned from working part-time on NMW and caring for a disabled child.

As part of the Universal Credit rollout, transitional protection was introduced, where any child in receipt of FSM in 2018 would then carry that entitlement forward even with a phase change. But if she were to be the resident parent, her income (undeclared because she had failed to file accounts) and that of the extremely wealthy partner would have exceeded that amount/assumed to exceed as it hadn't been evidenced and he would therefore not have been eligible for that transitional protection. She has never qualified for UC and the father was definitely the resident parent at the time of transition to secondary.

Moreover, the earnings limit was slashed to duck all last year but we heard exactly nothing about it. Which suggests again that she has absolutely no experience of it. There was also precisely sod all about personal experience of the FSM parcels or vouchers over Covid, other than glomming onto Roadside Mum's viral tweets and trying to grab the interviews where (although RSM turned out to be another appalling individual) it was actually RSM's story, claiming that she was the expert and was therefore entitled to receive income that was by all measures RSM's.


Tl;dr he may well be eligible for FSM. However, it would be likely that this is purely due to the kid living with his father and possibly as a direct result of him officially becoming a single parent at the point of secondary transition (she was in residential rehab, don't forget) after 2018, nothing to do with her.
Unless Southend is different (or my local council is!), either parents income can be used to calculate FSM eligibility if the child spends time in both households so the residential parent wouldn’t be as important, the protection would have carried from his father either way if he’s eligible through him.

The important part is that any parents in the calculation have to have official parental rights - and per SB’s dads early moans, it seems possible he in fact does not as she couldn’t have changed SBs name without his consent (either by deed poll or preferred name with the school) if he had. And Jack, his dad and his alleged step mum on MN have all previously referenced no court agreement regards custody which also suggests that may be the case.

Yeah. Like, I get it - maintaining focus and motivation over the course of a year is difficult. And Jack tells us that she has ADHD, so it's probably even harder for her. But she's been following this pattern for well over a decade now, and never seems to learn or attempts to manage the situation.

It's frustrating to watch because she's had so much help and support, so much therapy, so many private prescriptions, and plenty of time and space and goodwill from those around her. And despite all that she keeps on making these grandiose promises, collects headpats, begs for cashos, and then... doesn't even begin to follow through on any of them, ever.

I'd genuinely wondered if her extended absence from Twitter might have heralded some sort of change, but her recent behaviour on Bluesky suggests not.

So even if we don't get any resolutions in the next day or two, I'm sure she'll be back soon enough with yet more unfulfillable promises for us to mither over.

I am assuming the dad's name is on the birth certificate so he would automatically have Parental Responsibility.

I used to work in a related field, and schools would happily accept a request to change a 'known as' name when a new partner moved in and if the other parent found out they could object. In practice other parent was often not involved/uncontactable/in jail etc so they didn't.

It looks like there was/is an informal child arrangement, so no court needed And to be fair Jack and the baby daddy seem to co-parent effectively and have a reasonable relationship.

It could well be TBF, but in the case against, since when has Jack passed up the opportunity to 1. Acquire yet more tit with other people’s money, 2. Dress in entire outfits like a shop mannequin, and 3. Look as much of an utter bleeping berk as possible?

Speaking of, that flat cap cosplay when she was trying to get Old Harold to marry her, buy her a house and get her in the family way (in any order possible) was bleeping excruciating.

She is the only person in the world who looks even more of a simpleton in a fancy dress outfit than Farmer David. ( 🤘Sucks about the Knighthood, dude! Still, at least you’re guaranteed to get one before Jack gets her MBE)

I was having a chat with my sister back home, you know the christmas new year catch up and she told me about a cousin of ours that is a bit like jack into all sorts and she has 4 adult kids. The youngest is diagnosed adhd and lives with her and she has him trapped. She regulary goes on binges and is really wreckless with men and he often waits home to pick her up and sort her out. The other kids have long LEFT so he often does this alone and is terrified to leave her in case he goes on a proper bender and properly harms herself. My sister and mum help him where they can bit it crushes them to see him so trapped and st 25. This could be sb's live and it is heartbreaking. Jack for the love of god sort your tit out or else send your kid somewhere were he can live his life.

As we approach the five year anniversary I've had a look back at thread #1. No personal development whatsoever. If anything she has gone backwards and retreated further into fantasy. Her social media is more full of lies than ever. Pretty much every single word is untrue. Then there is the Let's Pretend job at council meetings which is little more than brining a child to the meetings and letting them entertain themselves with a toy in the corner. What happened? Where did it all go wrong? And how much worse can it get in 2025?

I would say (apart from the numerous dodgy financial dealings) it went wrong for two main reasons.
1) Her appalling SM presence. That could be dissected forever but it played a massive part in her downfall imo.
2) Possibly a bigger one - but the way she squandered every single opportunity thrown her way. Through a combination of arrogance, lack of professionalism, laziness, unreliability, a sense of entitlement and just sheer unlikeability she pissed away all the MASSIVE chances she was handed on a plate to make a name for herself on mainstream media.
She's never coming back from this. Her moment has passed and she failed to recognise she had to actually work hard to build on the opportunities given to her.

Exactly this. There's nothing wrong with not achieving 20 new year's resolutions or blogging 4 times a week or sitting on your a doing duck all 365 days a year if that's what you want to do, just don't promise people you'll do otherwise.

It's testament to her total lack of self-reflection that she makes these big claims about what she's going to do when she's shown literally zero ability to stick to a goal in her life before, ever. It achieves nothing besides making her look a bigger liar and hole each time.

I'm rit at doing things to a schedule or deadline, so I adapt my life accordingly. I don't over-promise, particularly not on things that are important to other people. If I do promise something, I make sure it's done. I work a job with flexible hours so I can float around as I please and still earn a living. I don't plan my life based on the idea I'm going to wake up tomorrow and have a brand new personality and willpower that I've shown no evidence of in the past 4 decades.

I know her issues are a personality disorder, and by definition they are impervious to logic, but it blows my mind how she can do so little and still duck it up spectacularly.

She uses her failsafe "everything goes in cold oil" technique, AND I bet anything that she uses self-raising flour, instead of plain. 😬

The only time my Yorkies were a disaster like Jack's, was when they changed the colour on the packets of my go-to flours & I used S/R instead.

They came out as Yorkshire Cakes, although they did have some colour to them 😂

I did the same thing and nearly changed my identity and left the country from the shame of it. Lovely golden brown hockey pucks!
