I think that she is probably now heavily reliant on the Patreon for income and ought to be putting a great deal more effort into providing content. Her books aren’t selling and she is not doing much in the media. She probably is in a bit of a funk. I hope that she has a good accountant.

So when she explicitly stated on thread #31 that she never had and probably never would make six figures she was... lying?! Well colour me gobsmacked.
I wonder how much of her food is put through the books as business expenses? I am sure most of her other purchases are also paid for out of the business.

Can I just add how great at is seeing all these “new members” pop up on the thread?!

It shows just how many people are cottoning onto her lies....you love to see it.

Edited to add - just found something to help R Jackie keep those Arctic days at bay. Hope this is used in place of the fire hazard blanket.

Fraus, I need to make a key lime pie but have no limes, can I use vinegar, or bottled lemon juice?

I only had lard in so am making the base with that, will it be OK?
I have a Brazilian lime, fig leaves and tea body wash I could send you - but maverick, but just the right side of exotic. You could then moisturise with the leftover lard.

Where are the end results of Jack's photoshoot yesterday?

Come on man, I've been on tenterhooks all night and morning!
Imagine how the poor sods on FB feel, still waiting for the non-existent reasons for using the comic filter?

We had a full investigation by hmrc, it was awful. In the end it turned out they owed us money. If she's stressed now, wait until she has to undergo that

(BTW, my husbands business partner upset someone and they reported us, he had an extravagant lifestyle and they wanted to know how he funded it with what went through the books. He had savings, and lived in his house that was paid for. They produced articles from the local press where they talked about how well we were doing, and him with his rolls Royce)

Babe, SAME.

I don’t have much insight to add, but I love sitting with a brew of an evening and absolutely HOOTING at these posts.

The thing is none of us would be chatty pattying about her accounts if she wasn’t SO utterly shameless and such a compulsive liar? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with saying fuck I’ve fucked up massively, unexpected tax bill, I’m hustling to get out of this here’s an exclusive Patreon pod / video cookalong on my £5 tier, a £20 tier sub you get a signed book, blah blah blah. No one could say diddly? It’s the constant poor fishing like oh make sure you’ve stockpiled to survive the winter

Very interesting! And it wasn’t even a very busy year for her.
The figure of £100,000+ is also consistent with that Mumsnet post I posted on here which estimated her annual income at about that level (based on ads, affiliate links, Patreon, royalties etc).
It’s disgusting that she’s still got the tip jar out and is still doing the poverty cosplay.
And she’s clearly turned off by followers offering to send her crappy little bits and pieces. When we know her taste is for luxury ££££ gifts from blue-tickers.

Same babe. JM was barely on my radar before that.

I was aware of her popping up every so often to announce she was gay! Transgender! Disabled! Autistic!, Etc. But took little notice until the JO thing. It was so incredibly entitled and spiteful that I wanted to dig a bit.

Regarding the vegan thing, it not just about food, it’s a way of life and includes clothing, household products, Etc she doesn’t use vegan products, wear vegan clothes or follow any vegan principles. the Burberry would not pass muster for a start.

it would be more honest to state she was trying to follow a plant based diet

Oh jeez, imagine her taking the saw out and brandishing it at the taxman (while wailing, weeping, sobbing, clawing at the ground etc)?
Might be a bit awkward though, I suspect the jackolytes think high earners should suck up the fact that we all have to pay tax. The victim act might go down like a lead balloon in this scenario

Sorry if they topic has moved ahead as I'm grunkaling but didn't she say she bought luxury goods so she could sell them at a later date if strapped for cash?

Now call me a maverick but if I'm lucky enough to have spare money lying around at the end of the month I put that in my savings account. Before my husband got a decent paying job that's all I could put away. We also tried to live within our means, crazy I know. Not to have a go at anyone with debt problems (I know that problem well) but I doubt lots of those people are buying coats with extra money instead of paying down debt, or going on a holiday or Xmas presents for their kids. I'd rather just save Jack, less stressful. You know do without brand name candles and sideboards. I got a nice candle from primark £1.50

She did. But then she also said that she cut the labels out of her designer goods so who knows?

Forgive me Fraus, but I'm not fully up to date (Grunka-ing along a few threads behind) but her meds posting has infuriated me.

It's kind of, I'm going to be an utter dick and then just remind people that they've got to #bekind to me because I'm mentally ill. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. Mental illness does not (and should not) grant you a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card if people are salty back to you in retaliation. Bloody hell. It's unhelpful as well because it pushes a self-victimising stereotype onto people who have mental health conditions. Just like all the fun stereotypes she reinforces over autism, too

I'm also kind of intrigued that her chemical rollercoaster is in fact sertraline. I know different people react to drugs in different way, but from the time I was on it, all I did was cry and vomit. No rollercoaster for me.

Anyway, her post has come at an opportune/relevant time as I have spent last week off work because depression came out of left field and punched me in the gut a few times. In a wholly unglamorous way I've spent a disturbing amount of time reading Tattle in the bath because everywhere else is bloody cold, and reading your posts has cheered me up so much. You are really very funny Fraus, I think more comedic geniuses here than I've ever known IRL the Brenda sausage thing and @Pocahontas's reaction to the cat mask in particular had me dead. Think you're all utterly marvellous (and in my head you are all your icons, so reading a conversation between a cartoon princess, a tin of carrots, a BOY hat, etc.)

Back to Grunkaing...

ETA: sorry also I know this is off topic by now but I've ended up down a Frances Wheetman rabbit hole and what the rackety fuck is going on there!?

Seriously, how do these people come into being?
