I expect that the first day or two will be her 'high days'. She'll get a blue jumper, have a nice meal, say how wonderful edinburgh is, and how she's feeling better, that she's having a re-awakening. She'll have an idea for a project. She'll want to learn Scots and ask her followers for their favourite words, or she wants to write a recipe book for people grieving and does anyone have any post-funeral recipe ideas. Then a couple of days later, she'll nose dive again and we'll get a blow by blow account of how she's spending the day crying non stop in her hotel room and everyone should feel sorry for her because she's all alone in Edinburgh and her life is terrible. etc. Then someone will suggest she speak to her sponsor or she should get therapy and she'll snipe back 'I am speaking to my sponsor and I have 3 therapists on speed dial.'
 
Whenever I think "surely now, all her followers will see that she's not the poor little urchin she pretends to be and has a lot, and I mean a LOT, of money in the bank", I'm always left disappointed. She's going on a jolly holiday to further than the end of the bloody country in the middle of a pandemic, yet gets the begging bowl out? She does a less than mediocre job on everything she's actually hired to do, yet still gets paid. The Jackobites or whatever they call themselves will still blindly adore everything she does.

Not just a case of read the room, Jack. Look at the state of the whole bloody UK. The R number is still going up. But I'm sure swanning around Edinburgh is going to get you lots of engagement. You really want a break from achey breaky heart and a change of scenery? Don't go on twitter and try and enjoy yourself.

I wonder if she got this offer of a Scottish holiday well earned retreat last night from a friend/establishment (in a DM?) hence the rather rapid turnaround from the self flagellation and wallowing to 'exercise and self care is what I need 💪 '. Otherwise she got up today, organised accommodation, booked the sleeper train, hopefully arranged care for her pets, got to London? All on a whim a couple of hours ago? Nope.

I am assuming she didn't fall under the train this time.

Nah Wee Nic will be like “naw, beat it! 1230 every weekday for four months I’ve stood in ridiculous high heels fielding shite questions from Journalists...a funcy blue sweater fae Jenners is not essential so home you go!”

So she has gone from grieving mother of cats to cosplaying as a stereotypical Scot. Charming! I wonder if her next book will be Scottish themed recipes such as Haggis flavoured Irn brulee, mashed shortbread with fancy gel stock, passive aggressive cullin skink, horse spunk Cranachan, mince and rinsed tatties, self love/hate (Robert Mitchum style) clapshot and bottled lemon juice soaked clootie dumplings.
Or worse still a recipe book for cats in honour of wee kitten. The kind of slop not even a stray cat would eat. Bin ends and mice will be gourmet food by comparison.
Jack is such a chameleon, someone made a good point last night about her lies being so prodigious which makes it harder for people to keep up and call her out. Thank goodness we have the receipts.
Re her sudden flushness, I wonder if people did donate in their droves for kitten, more than the cost of the x rays leaving Jack in the black and then some.

Imagine being able to leave your kid, drop everything and spend hundreds of pounds on a trip to Edinburgh at last minute because life has got a bit tough. Jack really has the WORST luck in the WHOLE WORLD doesn’t she? My heart bleeds

How many other single parents have that luxury too? Not trying to play St Cookie the Sad, but I've had 5 nights away from my daughter, and every one of those has been to do with her social life, not mine. witch doesn't know she's got it made!

How much has she spent over the past couple of months? Refurbishing a shed, repurposing understairs cupboard into a darkroom, redecorate dining room, 2 sideboard, smeg fridge, kitten vets, train trips to undisclosed locations, wigs galore, Caledonian Sleeper trip.......I'm sure I've missed some things out. And she pleads poverty, unbelievable.
All of this done during a pandemic!

As an aside, how will she be doing all this physically demanding activity with all her ailments? It wasn't that long ago she was walking with sticks and in terrible pain. Surely she will have payback if she does manage all this activity. I can't keep up with all her stories being exaggerated for effect.
