Preferably rinsed.
Oh if only Jack has spent a little money on thermal curtains and draught excluders.
Instead she's pissed money away purchased essentials such as a Water Rower, the entire Cotswold Co catalogue, airpods, studio equipment, a Smeg freezer, a weekend away, and a £400 extreme hammock.
You can't complain about draughty doors when you've had 18 months to do something about it, and you've had the money to do it
Instead she's

That'll be all the hot air your spouting .Really don't think it'll be that cold.Maybe try 3 jumpers ?.
JM is using an exaggerated example there. Surely others at the table would know her (alleged) circumstances and adjust her share of the bill. I have been ripped off by others on so many occasions at settling the bill time, that I now just total up what I ate plus my share of service and VAT and pay that. However, the occasions where it has happened to me were not as exaggerated as hers. It has been more a case of people who take beef Wellington when others are eating chicken, or they had lobster as a starter when the rest had duck parfait etc. You have to watch though if people total up the price of their dishes and drinks, but don't include their share of the VAT or 15% service charge. I once wondered why a friend who had eaten exactly the same food and drink as me, totalled up her costs, but ended up paying a lot less than me - she left off the VAT and service charge.
In JM's case, why was she eating out anyway if she was so hard up? Her sad tale always involves her being down to a piece of stale bread and a pint of milk which had gone off. And that would be to last her for a week.
Oh my LAWD. Soooo awkward and desperate. And - I would kill anyone who put their feet, bum and unruly labia on my benchtop!! Skeeved right out.Thankyou! I’m goin’ in!
Afternoon all! I've been away for a lovely two weeks but have been slowly keeping up. Just popped in to say, glad to see not one day passes without Jack's inconsistencies shining through. She's said previously that the old flat was draughty but the new bungalow was not, and it had therefore done wonders for her hugely exaggerated arthritis. Now it's so cold, she's got the heating on during Summer...
Ooh, Jack. Lidl’s doing a scandi week in storage furniture. Perfect for your scandi-style hotel bedroom. No bins, I’m afraid.
What am I saying? You don’t buy your furniture from here!

Wasn't his brother her lawyer ?
One minute she’s complaining about people splitting the bill equally and being ripped off and the next she’s moaning about people who want to pay for what they are.
It’s simple enough. You ask for the bill and people add up their share of what they ate. Leave it on the table or hand it to the waiter or waitress. I’ve always been used to doing that as the people I socialise with don’t have loads of money. I’ve hardly ever been in the situation where anyone wanted to divide a bill equally.
I was also going to say that. People who are well below the poverty line will generally have other things to spend their cash on than going to restaurants (Im not trying to suggest that people who are broke should never eat out).
She went out for two meals last week didn’t she? She’s horribly out of touch with people on the breadline. I had a look at that bag she was gifted.
It was almost 80 pounds. Im not suggesting that she has to wear everything from the pound shop but you basically have an influencer writing about poverty. A poverty experience from a decade ago.
You could say the same for a few people who have a lot of cash now but there are people who have tried to help people living below the line without acting like they are the only person who ever lived on benefits/was poor
I was on benefits for a lot longer than Jack. It’s hard. She does not have a clue what it’s like to be on universal credit. The pressure to evidence a 35 hour a week job search.
The constant pressure worrying about sanctions. I saw some recent posts of hers where people were suggesting that she claim UC just now due to her burnout and they were met with no. She could not go back to life on benefits. But it’s ok for people that she’s going to be interviewing for her new book?
Forgive me if this sounds harsh but if she thinks she’s too good to be on benefits then why is she writing a book about other people’s poverty experiences?
The truth is, she earns too much cash to be on UC but always has to give the impression that she’s broke. Something that really annoys me.
I know of someone (not famous) who crowdfunded around 4 grand for alternative pain treatments and was last seen asking people to pay vet bills.
For some people twitter has just turned into one huge grift. If jack fell on hard times the sensible thing would be to claim benefits. If it’s good enough for everyone else it should be good enough for her.
I sincerely hope she’s not going to be profiting out of other people’s poverty.

Much like with her poverty tales, she knows how to play the fans’ faves.
Didn't jack allegedly go for 2 meals in one evening last week to make the most of the eat of to help out scheme?
Our house is cold, there's nothing in front of us, and we face the prevailing wind. I have a special door curtain (it's thermal and doesn't let the wind through), in winter or if its cold /windy we draw that and it makes a huge difference to the temperature in the house. If I'm by myself in the house I wear cardies and sheepskin slippers, and if needs be wrap myself in a slanket before I put the heating on

I don't know. I tried various searches, but couldn't come up with anything. i do recall both JM and Hopkins were represented on a 'no win, no fee' basis. I can't stand Hopkins, but I wish she had settled out of court at the £5,000 because she just provided JM a lot of unearned cash and nationwide publicity which she doesn't deserve.
I thought there was a Twitter receipt on here in the last few pages where someone called her out for her Smeg and everything ? Did the Tattle post get removed?
The Telegraph had a article .It's a Mark Lewis who represents Seddon's solicitors.Pretty sure it's Martin's brother because on one of his programs he mentioned him so there was no conflict of interest on a item he was doing
That sounds great, we could do with something like that for our back door, it lets in so much cold air
Something something white crumbly dog tit
