Just a timeline clarification: DEAD Grandad didn’t die until November 2012, a year after she’d flounced away from the firephone and a year into THE POVERTY.
By the time he died, she’d already sold everything she owned, flounced out of two part time jobs, been told never to darken the door of a third and set up her crappy Bread and Jam craft business (flouncing from the second of the above in a shop to “go self employed” and make sandwiches for the homeless).
He was pretty sick for that whole year of 2012 though (we know because she wrote a bleeping ghastly poem about it), so you can imagine the family were somewhat distracted by that while she was flouncing about as Southend’s Prettiest Pov with her Wedgwood and Royal Doulton crockery sales, weekly Abel & Cole deliveries, harrumphing star letters to THE NEWSPAPER, her COUNCIL-botherings and “downsizings” from £725 a month two bedroom luxury executive flats into £675 a month two bedroom houses.
Strongly doubt they gave (or promised) her a bleeping penny of his estate cos it was only after he died that she “came out as poor” in the national media (December, here and Woman’s Own the following month).
Suspect Jack may have only felt really able to start over-egging THE POV in the national press once the old tyrant was DEAD. Probably exacerbated by a tantrum that she didn’t get what she thought she was due from the estate, done for maximum attention and to SPITE-cause maximum mortification to her family.
Edit: here’s the link. She’s disgusting.
