The tip jar is like a bleeping maraca this morning isn't it?

"BUY ME AN ORANGERY YOU BASTARD IM SMOL AND POOR"



On the plus side for SB, at least he gets some frozen beige crispy pancakes today instead of any swill cooked by his mother.

She'll no doubt use them as a basis for a recipe rather than cook as per packet instructions.
Perhaps cooking them in the oven and then frying them and adding an unnecessary egg or some sort of fruit and bean based stew for extra deliciousness. A girl's gotta slop
 
I am watching the channel 5 programme about "The Big Freeze of 1963. (Very good and I remember it well) They have just shown Southend pier surrounded by sea ice.

I hardly ever heard Southend mentioned before I followed Jack on Tattle, now Southend is never off the telly!
 
All those possible properties look like estate sales. They’re all very dated and any potential owners would probably need to spend almost as much as they spent buying the house to renovate them. In my fantasy if I won the lottery dreams I’d love to buy something like that and turn it into a dream home, but that kind of thing is out of reach for most people.
 
Sorry if already posted.

Her house begging knocks me sick. Just buy a two bed new build like the rest of us idiots trying to get a foothold on the property ladder. Nobody needs a house like that. It demonstrates her greed and tbh her privilege as she thinks she deserves to buy such a house.

She's getting more bold - linking to PayPal, joking about Patreon, etc. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if her ego and greed outweighs her need to be cautious and we see a Crowdfunder at some point.

So angry right now 😂

I also thought an orangery meant a load of oranges...

It’s just so funny to think that she can possibly believe this?

£80k deposit
£30k stamp duty
£4k solicitors fees
£3k moving (it’ll be more for her plethora of tat but let’s be generous)
£2.5k building survey

She needs ~£130k cash to even think about this? And that’s assuming an annual salary of £160k and a 4.5 multiplier. And she’ll need to maintain that salary for 30 years? It’s literally papa’s cash or nothing for her.

She’s sadfishing.
 
Given her dream of using it for her food photography, and the usual colour palette of her output, I propose that any further reference to the Orangery is amended to the Brownery.

"I couldn't possibly even dream of it" yet you've previously put the feelers out on Twitter at least twice previously, IIRC. And of course you're doing the noble and proper thing by urging people to spend their disposable income on actual worthy causes, but if some of your followers coincidentally want to sign up to your Patreon or drop something in the tip jar as a result of this, well, that's their decision and you can't stop them! We'll probably get another Patreon plug or third round of website repair donations later.

All the more grotesque considering what's happening in the world right now.

 
She’s tipped me over the edge again, I often feel despair at the housing market (currently in RENTED 1-bed), im a few years older then her too. I darent even dream of a house like that!

But - right now i am seriously, genuinely grateful to have a roof over my head and a modest income from full time work. Has she not SEEN the news? Hundreds of thousands of people losing everything in a completely unprovoked and unexpected attack?
