I don’t mind doing the odd one now and again tbh it’s just the ads are monotonous plus I started seeing Jack’s face absolutely everywhere
I’m totally up for that. We would’t even have to change Sulking room pink as I’m sure that’s more than apt and describes one of the many reading rooms in the shitty bungalow

Some of that is quite personal info. Also 'dad has son 3-4 nights sometimes more' says it all for me. Clearly someone very close to the dad if it's not he himself going by the user name. I think it is actually him though. Jack frequented Mumsnet a lot back then didn't she? Maybe a large chunk of her audience was on there and started asking uncomfortable questions so poor dad had to post a disclaimer of sorts. Jack is a murky bastard.

Tbf, my slow cooker is a chalkboard one as well.

I've only ever drawn a dick on it, mind you.

Where is her son getting his calcium from? No cheese, no milk. Yes you can SURVIVE on this and not be hungry. But why would you risk your child's health and purposefully not meet his nutritional needs when you quite clearly can afford to?
The sardines if he eats the bones and the bread if it’s fortified, as it usually is in the UK. But yes you’re right. Nowhere near enough for a growing kid. Not even some leafy greens or fortified non dairy.

If food is meant to be her thing and she puts herself in the same realm as Jamie Oliver, she could at least, like Oliver do a basic nutrition course. Or at the very least, a friggin google search.

It’s bizarre as she references things like her cupboard organisation or her 5 a day counts like she has some idea, but it’s like she’s just heard of these things and not even bothered to look at the very basic explanations.

Her explaining how her and SB had hit their 5 a day was bizarre. You don’t get 1 portion from an 8th of an onion or a quarter of a carrot It really concerns me how misleading she is.

I'm posting as I grunk, thinking out loud. Re coins in sofa, we are moving towards a cashless society and that is a scenario which is disappearing fast.
Re the Hopkins Court Case win, she said she would donate it all to charity.

Chickpea and lentils followed by three and a half fishy boiled eggs? She must have sturdy bowels, I’ve got a gripey stomach just thinking about it
Perhaps this is why she’s never considered a bird for a pet...

I am surprised she doesn't claim she is too poor to heat hot water and does with a bucket of cold water and carbolic soap.
Who says their landlady’s garden when they are renting? When you’re renting it’s your house and your garden! You’re paying for the privilege. When is she going to realise she isn’t the only renter in the world?

Put the rod away Jack!

I feel as though this is directed at us

Surely, if that was the point (it isn't) you'd buy exactly the same things for reference? Eg tin of beans, bag of flour, bottle of milk or whatever. Not buy different things every time. Also, most receipts are thermo printed now and fade stupidly quickly, so I'd not be surprised if the weirdo isn't just hoarding thousands of scraps of what used to be receipts in her 84 sideboards.

'Bookcase of lies!' HAHAHA! I like that!
She hasn't even got the pamphlet we all received as they administered the 'Gay Serum'..
So Fraus at the age of 30 (took a while for the Penny to drop eh) I came out to my Mum on Friday - is my pamphlet and manual in the post?!

I am *sure* Jack posted a photo a few years ago of her lugging books or something to the post box/office in a wagon.

I am certain some deleted tweets (natch) showed her with loads of flowers thanking people for sending her them. Those were I assume her arena flowers subscription that she sends herself.

I am sure elton john nearly went broke a few years ago due to his lavish spending on fresh flowers.

She tagged people, so I assume they were genuine gifts. Shocking quality though, so she must've had them for a while before taking the pic (which was after her ex Instagramed a pic of gifts she'd received post split).

In my hunt to find the wagon photo I have just seen this. Haven't squiggled because seems pretty anonymous anyway. My first thought was this has to be Jack, surely none one would make such a statement? But I read a few more posts from the user and while some of the writing/cooking style is similar, it appears to be someone else.

Would love to see their evidence...

What I find a bit wtf is that she seems almost rather excited about austerity coming back (not that it really went away, it just became 'normal' ).

Utter and total bollocks.

I'm into the second week of suspected gastroenteritis/urine infection and fourth day of antibiotics. I can't summon up the energy to even go up to the village to get dog and cat food (for the dogs and cats, before you get ideas, Kack Morose).

I've literally just completed an Asda order that will be delivered to me TODAY after 1PM for the ginormous cost of £1.

I might live rurally but in the central belt of Scotland and in prime commuter territory. The only things in my basket that they said were out of stock was old fashioned lemonade and mini marshmallows for my hot chocolate, so I'll have maltesers instead.

'Military Bearing!' HAHAHA! Without myself, she would have been beasted out of any service in the first 2 weeks. If that.
First day.
