I'm not obsessive, hope I don't come over as if I am. Someone once said something to me and it just resonated.

"I don't like cleaning, but I like a clean home. Unfortunately you can't have one without the other."
This is so true! I have had to explain this so many times!
I think I have too much stuff, but other people think my flat looks like I just moved in or I rent it out.
 
Jack is claiming Furlough for someone. The usual apologies if this has already been posted...

You're not wrong.
The 'Caroline is Furloughed' is what will do me in...

She is NOT on furlough Jack, so stop saying she is. Neither are you entitled to SEISS.
Those two things are for people who cannot work because Covid has impeded on your business or job role.
Caroline can work from home. She does admin ffs. She can easily fit her eork 8n around homeschooling, just like millions of others have done. If you have applied for a furlough payment, that is benefit fraud.
Same with SEISS. It was for self employed people who ceased trading because of Covid lockdown.
You have NOT ceased trading under lockdown. You have actually benefited under Covid because it opened up different work opportunities.
Again, if you apply for it this is fraud.
Stop fucking going on about how you are one of the 'forgotten'. You earned a fuck tonne of money last year so you are not entitled to the benefits.
And it had absolutely cock all to do with handing your tax returns in late, although you are an idiot for doing so.
 
5 x seater sofa plus 2 x seater sofa plus 2 x chair beds (currently in chair format)
4 x dining chairs 3 x desk chairs 1 x arm chair
4 x old folding dining chairs in shed just in case plus 2 x camping chairs (there were 3 but mice got to one of them)
1 x step stool that could be sat on by a toddler in a pinch 2 x actual stools in current use as side tables
3 people
no wisdom teeth and 1 extraction
don't even start me on pants
FORENSIC

Two Nutribullets
11 denim shirts
This is truly a Jack worthy inventory. But could you fit it all in a sleeper compartment?
 
I don't know why but picturing everyone counting their chairs has absolutely ended me.

Sitting here shaking, doing a creepy Mutley wheezy laugh looking like I'm having some kind of seizure.

This is why I love these threads.

I was exactly the same when we were all counting teeth! Genuinely laughing out loud! It’s the way it started as a joke but then suddenly it became a genuine, earnest thing!
I‘m a chair-less wonder! I just have a sofa. It’s just me and my cat, and it’s not like people can visit at the moment. @kachoochoo it’s funny because I’m the same, I’d never thought of it this way before but at work there are chairs everywhere! 😆

As for Jack, who knows if she’s crying wolf or not, but I genuinely hope she and are family are ok. I think it’s quite touching that overall we‘re erring on the side of caution*, laying off her, and finding other exciting topics to discuss.

*auto 🥕 wanted to change “caution“ to “cushion“ 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gosh I never knew this shit existed online. Scary dairy.

Also apologies to all the people I shocked on my last post. It was just what I thought at the time, perhaps I ought to have not posted it on reflection as i hate talking about her family.

And then I did the same laugh at your comment!

There's 6 dining chairs, a rocking chair, a weird too small chair, an armchair, and a 2 seater sofa upstairs. Downstairs (elevated house - a shitty bungalow on legs in fact) there's a load of plastic chairs someone gave my mother - why I do not know 🙄
 
Didn’t Jack once divulge that SB’s dad had another child who was in hospital? I hope it’s not anything bad to do with that but her coy “not mine to tell” brings that into my mind. If it was more direct bad news she’d be using it for doggos and patreon soliciting. The fact that she uses it to announce her departure because of it is still indiscreet and that she doesn’t realise that is pathetic.

Can’t bring myself to count chairs but hope she stays gone for a long, long time. Her suicide baiting has disgusted me more than usual.

Yes that is right, giving away someone else's personal info.
I'm not a Nigella fan but she has far more grace and self respect. When Saatchi assaulted her she did not make panicked, emotional statements on Twitter though I think personally she had the right to.
Re the lady who used to post here that knew Jack's mum. IIRC she contacted mum to tell her about Jack and then stepped away from the threads as she had taken it off Tattle.
