So her mum is very, very ill. Yet she had someone round yesterday and her family round today? If that someone is Louisa then she's more than likely flitting between London and Southend, probably mixing with a lot more people than Jack would. So why does Jack put her ill mum at risk by having her round the day after someone else? If you must see multiple people then at least spread the visits out, so there's less likelihood of passing something on.
You really can't bitch about people following the rules when you're not really doing it yourself. Was Edinburgh an essential trip? Was the double meal thing in London really essential?
She knows what she's doing, she likes the drama it creates.

Does anyone else feel like Jack infiltrates their lives a bit too much? In just one hour I’ve thought about her:
-While chopping garlic... it was a FAT clove
-While texting friends about Mom’s marmite pasta (JM’s recipe was the one that alerted me to the fact she doesn’t know what she’s on about, biggest food faff of my life)
-Said friends saying marmite in pasta is an abomination, use PULPED ANCHOVIES instead
- Looking at my dining table wondering if I would have much headroom if I stood on it

I'm just wondering what's worse, being severely ill or very very ill?

*not minimising being poorly or having poorly people, just navigating the hyperbole.

Ah I didn't mean her. I meant the mummy blogger types. There's a certain style of influencer that goes in for all that and I feel a bit mean lumping them all together as I think it's all a bit of an act and they're probably totally different behind the scenes.

I actually don't think Jack can be reduced to a stereotype, like...there's no one quite like Jack. Other narcissists, sure, but who else is both narcissistic and a purveyor of not so fine slop?

I'm so sorry her behaviour hurts you, she's such an awful bloody woman. The fact she blames shitty behaviour on things like autism/ADHD when actually it's just...shitty behaviour...and nothing to do with autism/ADHD is a real dick move. It perpetuates false stereotypes and it's not fair. I mentioned in another post though, I honestly don't think she gives two flying fucks about other people. She does what suits her, and screw the rest. Hopefully more people will see through her blame games than we all realise right now

Hope you're alright.

When you start ‘scampering’, that’s when you have to worry...

I accidentally just said to my partner, "I can fit into the kids' shoes from asda."

we don't go to asda. ever. we go to morrisons. I am so invested in this bird's (in traazers) life, that "asda" is becoming default for "supermarket."

‘I loathe this government at the best of times’. They’re a fucking shower of shit, love. They’re so bad they make people remember May (an evil robot) fondly. Yet, as with the £20 food shops, you’re playing into their hands. They want us to blame each other for ‘not following the rules’ because then you’re not paying attention to their shower of incompetence and the blood on their hands.

Guys, I think she’s just an absolute fuckwit. Can’t even work out the rules herself.

Apologies. I have misread your intent in the post.
She's still a gobshite and I'm grand! Thank you!

in a cook My mum has from growing up there is a recipe for hot water pastry with lard. It actually worked with sweet and savoury. I know crumble is different but I am curious now!

You know when I never think about Jack?

When I'm eating the delicious edible food I've prepared.

Turning into Jack dear heart, you’ll be telling people unwarranted about your height next
