I think it's a case of trying to find another niche.

It's a win win for her.If it comes off and she gets offers then it's paid off but if she doesn't then she'll get a fair bit of mileage out of "bigotry and xenophobia killed my career",leading to a full tips jar and paid gigs, from people who (rightly) want to take a stand against prejudice.

That's what she wants! Why else take a photo of your trainers? It's not like they're pretty or even fancy!

There seems to be a correlation between trainers being ugly and fashionable

Couldn’t find these ones online but similar styles were priced at £95-140. Which isn’t a massive amount for branded trainers these days but is a massive amount when you claim to be poor

Me too. And it proves the cat was just a proxy. What she can't deal with is that Louisa left. She rejected Jack. Narcissists can't deal with rejection - they are the ones who have to reject. All this "grieving" is for herself - because Louisa walked out.

Thank you. You’ve said it better than I ever could.

Those ramblings are bleeping horrific. They’re all look at me and give me sympathy as I’m just a POOR girl from Southend with no money and a cupboard full of food but I need you all on Twitter to tell me how amazing I am.

Of course, this is what you’d post ‘accidentally’ at age 15 hoping your ex boyfriend would see and come running back to you. It’s quite tragic that despite being a 32 year old mother, her brain is stuck at being 15 and trying to be relevant by using Americanisms.

I thought she was Scottish?

Anyway, in other news, I had a DM from saturn on twitter about Chaz. It's all rather exciting, except for the fact that I don't know what happened as Chaz has now deleted her account. What did Chaz say? Is Saturn a man? Why do I have so much work to do and can't piss about on Tattle all the time anymore? I miss this cabal.

No idea who Chaz is but about 99% certain Saturn is a man

Do you think she started this whole poverty thing as a way to embarrass her parents? Respected Foster carers who hadn't looked after their daughter shame type thing?

And presumably now that's worn off, and people have started noticing how sad she's made her mum, she's embracing the family again?

Yea, there must be some truth in this. Got pregnant, parents were against it and told her she wouldn’t be getting a free ride, she skulks off and moans to The Guardian about the ‘government’ not offering enough support to single parents.

So she's now going on about being Greek? Only a matter of days ago she was half Irish

She's whatever she wants to be in that moment.

Edinburgh was home this time last week, now it's Greece or Cyprus. Next week she'll be Latvian or something.

The more she posts about her various wacky mental health related japes, the more I wonder if she's ever been diagnosed with anything. In fairness, I think there are a significant number of people who will have (for example) ASD but never get a diagnosis so she may well have it and not have a formal diagnosis. I think most of the issue with her various (self?) diagnoses is that she lies so much it's hard to know what is authentic and what isn't.

Anyway, whatever she has or doesn't have (who knows), none of it is an excuse for behaving like a dick.

I also suspect she has no interest in engaging in therapy in any significant way. As a pp said, it's draining and hard work and she always seems to go for the easy option. Personally, therapy has been incredibly helpful for me but you really do need to be committed to it and put the work in.

Good grief, I was gonna walk the hound there earlier.... :oops: I heard the park was rather busy so gave it a swerve, that lake? mid thigh deep on an average adult tops, thick with weeds (when last I was there, some time ago) and home to some dramatic swans, and the odd cormorant.
