Seriously how much of a car crash is that woman?! Make your bloody mind up whether you’re Scottish/English/Greek; duck off with making out you’re on the breadline yet wearing expensive trainers (cos yeah, they’re more important than rent etc); understand that you’re a chaotic, bad-attitude ridden idiot so no wonder nobody will let you loose in front of a TV camera; oh and lastly- stop making childish snide digs at your ex on social media as we all know what you’re doing and think you’re a prick for it (newsflash- if we so then so does she!). Sorry for the rant, she just gets my goat so much 😂

I can’t work out is it yet another of her ploys to get sympathy by painting it out to be an absolute dump, or it’s the renting that she resents not the home it’s self. Personally I don’t see the issue me & my soon to be replaced for a jelly cat toy, husband rent our home, well not to triangulate myself too much technically it’s his home, but he signed a legally binding piece of paper that makes everything his also mine.

A bit of both perhaps same with everything else, whatever will gain the most for her at that particular point in time. Sometimes she's a successful author, sometimes she's a struggling freelancer. Who's asking?

Mr ChickenPorridge and I are currently renting a beautiful but small place abroad for work reasons, we dream of one day owning a small house back home. We had our first child in our early 20s and were both working supermarket jobs and renting an absolutely disgusting end terrace that was riddled with damp and mould when baby #1 was born. We're far from where we would love to be right now but damn proud of how far we've come!! The reason I started following JM in the first place was for inspo on cooking cheaply as we are trying to save every spare penny to make home owning a reality. Wouldn't catch me with a Burberry coat at the minute, just saying!

It’s very spacious. Period place - Edwardian or 1930’s by the look of it. Very nice part of town. Two floors. Two bathrooms, apparently. One of which we’ve seen - all marble flooring, huge bathtub, wall-mounted TV. At least three bedrooms. Pretty large, at least one can accommodate a king size bed with lots of space left over. Little nooks and crannies everywhere - space for writing desks, libraries and whatnot. A spacious dining room that has been converted into a studio for filming. A storage room where she kept her filming stuff (we have seen pics of a (yet another) Cotswold Co cabinet where she kept backgrounds for the photography etc.). A photography room. A spacious kitchen. A large garden with outdoor shed. The pics we have seen show lavish decoration and furniture - Cotswold Co (multiple items), Smegs, leather chairs, etc. etc. etc.
To most people, it would be a dream house.

It doesn't have a marble bathroom, that must be elsewhere.

“Emails from human beings”? As opposed to what, fish?

I’m Grunka-ing but I am the big 4️⃣0️⃣. I will never, ever forget the lovely birthday messages I got from you wonderful people.

Size 8 feet and also “big boned”. Because I’m carrying a lot of extra timber just now, I’d describe myself as “built like a brick tit house” 😂. Always so kind to myself....

Are we related? As in, twins? I’ve always been heavy for my height, even as a size 12 (skinniest I’ll ever be) but that was a 90’s 12, not today’s babygros in comparison! I was around 11 stone. Not even going there about what I weigh as a few dress sizes plus from that these days... 🤐

I can't remember when but not long ago. Just before thread 31 🤣.

She used the slimming tool (hips) and smoothing tool (legs) on this one (the unedited one was on Instagram, the edited one was on Twitter. Sloppy uploading):

That's two nights in a row I've seen these pics just before going to sleep. I'm contemplating triangulating the next person to post them without a spoiler!

I think the difficulty is, when you’ve grown up in a five bed anything under that will naturally feel small and/or tit by comparison. Her parents are wealthy so she probably sees the items she purchases as just standard, rather than premium. Like they were undoubtedly in a position to do the buy once / buy well thing and she clearly does this too? So of course she’d have a £170 alarm clock because that’s simply what John Lewis stock 🤷🏻‍♀️ Of course her sideboards are from Cotswolds co cos they ~invest in furniture. Etc etc etc!
