Completed it, mate. Or at least, she’s completed the massive bleeping lie (in the Guardian, of course) about it.

Sainted millionaire grandad who housed the poor of southend couldn’t house his own son, daughter in law and grandchild in somewhere legally classable as a d

Then, she claims, history basically repeats itself when she’s homeless with SB.

Really makes u think…

Also: will £20 be ok, or do you want more?
DO YOU WANT MORE?
Jack: No, 20 will be OK

Why not ask for more?
More coffee table mamapapa, more!

If she's happy to accept 20 quid, you can bet that the photo is an old one, probably out of a catalogue, and the REAL coffee table has been left in a puddle and is warped and stained "Sold as seen mate! I can't give you your money back I've spent it on sideboards slop . . . OR . . . this was all performative and the squid never got the table (or anything else).

Would have been the perfect thing for SB’s dad to present in a custody case too. She sold all his toys to prove she was “poor” even though she wasn’t. Could have played her at her own game and used the favourite toy card as well.

Poor kid, a lying narc who only cares about herself for a mother and an hole who enables her for a father. What a start to life he’s had.

I could slap SB's dad silly sometimes - then I think about what a fecking nightmare it must be to be trapped in a relationship with her FOR EVER, because of your love for your child, and how exhausting and stressful it must be, and I soften a little towards him. Hesurely must have been able to do more, though.

But just think - almost every other person she has ever interacted with seems to have walked/run/galloped away and built a feckin' wall around themselves; we can turn off t'internet and blank her out - but he, for all his faults, has stuck by his kid even though that means he is (probably daily) subjected to her constant narcissistic drama. It very possibly cost him his marriage, affects his relationship with his other children, and may well affect his employability (I wouldn't put it past her to turn up at his workplace, ranting incoherently) - but he is still there for SB.

WTF is she talking about a flat so small it can't be rented out as a dwelling? Ha! pull the other one, love. What was it? a wheelie bin? A stairwell landing? Nah, didn't think so.

Her father was financially well enough off to rent somewhere decent and also had a property owning father. Plus there's her brother - so they didn't go straight from having her to fostering, there was another child too. So grandpa who let waifs and strays stay in his dwellings wouldn't put a roof over the head of his own son and granchildren?

Her lies are really going to come back on her sometime when one or two people speak up, everyone's going to feel brave enough.

I'm the same as@StewPots.

Mr Mice complains that I have a "seige mentality". I can't not have a full cupboard. It makes me physically ill.
[/QUOTE]

In my family where we often starved, pretty much all of us siblings have got binge eating disorder because the 'demolish it whilst it's here' mentality never leaves. Personally I feel far more at ease if there's zero food in my home then I don't have to constantly negotiate with self as to whether to eat it now or not.

It is only very recently that I've stopped eating faster than a rabid coyote! You ate stuff quickly and if (say) you got a treat (which we did occasionally) you ate it immediately - no way did you try to keep half your kit-at for later because there was a very high chance that someone would find it and scoff it!

(Oh dear! :oops: I'm getting into competitive pov-eating habits . . . am I Jack?:unsure:)

*counts sideboards*

Thank heavens! I have less than one. No way am I Jack. Phew! 😄

I’ve never seen her say (at least that I recall) that she sold his favourite toy- not to say that she didn’t say that somewhere though. She never actually (to my knowledge) said she sold her lightbulbs either, just that she’d taken them out and was sitting in the Stygian gloom.

She never actually sold this when she “sold everything she owned” either. Doesn’t seem like an essential to me.View attachment 2446434 q

THIS. If you have actually been poor you hoard food not Vivienne Westwood and sideboards.
[/QUOTE]

I also hoard things like shower gels ( NOT boiled down soap ffs - I also have loads of soap too ) , shampoo, conditioner, face cream. I get stuff on offer or for Christmas and birthdays or save for nicer items which last me ages. Just because I know what it’s like to be low / without these essentials ( and yes, an occasional treat like a mini facial done yourself at home because salons are out of your price range).

My saddest time ( for me personally, not connected with my kids or my mum ) was when a friend of mine gave me a £15 love to shop voucher for my birthday, so I could buy some nice shower gels, bubble bath etc so I could stock Up in Boots. She knew how hard times were for me just then. She also bought me £20 groceries ❤️

Honestly recounting this is making me well up because I’ve faced real grinding poverty. Things are slightly better now on that side but I’m always thinking, “What if”. I do a lot of bulk buying of essentials too, because I’m scared we will be broke if something happens and we will have no toilet roll, or washing up liquid, or laundry powder.

It’s bleeping insane but shows the real affect poverty has on your MH. I would say the trauma of the things I’ve told you about tonight contributed towards the state of my MH now - cyclothymia and EUPD. See Jack,THIS is the real poverty hangover. It never leaves you.

I spend my money carefully as I can, to make sure my kids and I never have to face that again. No fancy sideboards, spenny fridges or Lux Puddle Scarfs here. bleep.
