Absolutely this. The one underlying thing that would make the most sense of all her bizarre actions is a shopping addiction. It explains why she felt she couldn't ask her mum & dad for help, it explains the bailiffs coming round. I reckon she racked up a load of credit card/ store card/ payday loan debt. But she can't admit it because she's shown she believes in the "deserving/ undeserving poor" myth and thinks she can only be respected if she's not a tracksuit wearing Jeremy Kyle watcher.
It explains the obsession with " I only spent 12p on my shop this week" too. She wants so very much for you to think she's careful with money. This makes a great deal of sense if she actually can't stop spending. No one thinks being told a recipe cost 43p this week is useful information. It's just performing to hide her problem.

I totally agree with this. My friend who had some kind of dealing with her said she’s tit with money. I think it goes a bit harder than just tit with money, like you say, it’s a shopping addiction.

The last photo is so...confusing? Jarring? The tie needs to be skinnier to go with the rest of the 80s aesthetic, the traaaazers give her frogs legs and the shoes are just there for no reason?
I mean, I know they're encasing her feet but they're not working.

TL;DR she looks like a wanker

Remember those picture books when we were kids where the page was split into 3, so there was say, a pic of a king, a frog and a jester etc etc in there on separate pages with their head and shoulders on the top part, the torso and arms in the middle and the legs and feet at the bottom? Then you could mix up the tops/middles/bottoms of the pages to great comedic effect and put a king’s head in a crown on a jester’s body with a frog’s legs and feet.

ANYWAY, this is what happens when Jack continues to Single White Female Leggy after they split by mixing and matching Leggy’s lewks, like so...

Your Dolly is a whizz with money, though @TrolleyParton. She's famously great at business.

That she is! She's also done a huge amount for children living in poverty via various charitable initiatives, many of which she funded from her own pocket. Jack could learn a lot from Dolly, although the idea of them being in the same room together brings me out in hives.

Quite.

I admire Dolly P for many reasons, not least her Dollywood theme park which employs thousands in a deprived area of the country and her Imagination Library. Also, unlike guest, Dolly actually does do a lot of quiet work behind the scenes, supporting gay artists, Black Lives Matter etc in all sorts of ways, including supporting businesses owned by minorities in towns like Nashville.

And...obviously...Dolly has musical chops, and can both sing and write songs and understands the music biz so that she's not preyed upon by mercenary producers and such.

And... Dolly has had a decades-long marriage to the same person without posting every small detail of her life for clicks online.

Jack isn't in the same universe as Dolly and neither are most of us ordinary folk.

If you haven't already heard it, Trolley P, I highly recommend this episode of Soul Music:
www.bbc.co.uk

BBC Radio 4 - Soul Music, I Will Always Love You

Written by Dolly Parton... sent stratospheric by Whitney Houston.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

It's a treat.

I think the "oh I'm only buying him marbles" thing might just be an attempt to fit in with a certain type of 'frugal' mummy blogger, the type who dress their kids in beige and they're not actually saving the pennies (those ugly beige clothes are very expensive!) but they like people to think they're performing economic miracles every other day. And maybe a bit of classism, because who hasn't heard Tories complain about "single mothers" who buy their kids expensive presents and that's "obviously" why they're so poor. Jack isn't like Those Povvos, she only buys her child a few Victorian knick-knacks and he plays with them very quietly. I think (maybe hope) this is just another of those lies that's meant to make her look good but backfires terribly.

I am inclined to agree. She’s (inadvertently) revealed over the years that SB is also in possession of some very expensive clothing, toys and games consoles. I suspect a lot of those came from Jack and she is just trying to enhance the pov cosplay and get sympathy donations by claiming she buys him a few beans - as well as not admitting what she does buy him because “SB and his new PlayStation 5, full Liverpool home kit plus goalkeepers shirt and massive Lego set”* screams “this was expensive” in a much more obvious way than sideboards appearing in the background does to a casual viewer.

*All stuff she’s revealed he has over the years, albeit maybe not in one go

Big D and Ev don’t seem to have much to do with him, but they may contribute to some.

I still think the volume of it all indicates Jack is buying him more than she implies, every pic of him bar the tiny tot ones he’s basically head to toe in branded gear, I’ve seen numerous football shirts that I’m sure are genuine not market specials, she’s mentioned expensive Lego and unless he’s carting his PS and Xbox consoles back and forth between hers and his dads he’s probably got two of at least one of them plus the boxes with all the games she’d posted when she was “moving”. He’s got a lot more stuff than she admits and I don’t think any of the pics she’s claimed are of “his” room are - I bet his room is hidden purposely because one look would make it obvious there’s been a lootttt of money in that household.

Can't remember where I heard her say it, but she said sometimes she watches him snoring in his La-Z-Boy and considers telling Jolene to come get him 😂😂😂

One more thing in the plus column for Dolly. She's bloody funny.

Unlike you-know-who.

I'm yearning to visit Dolly's neck of the woods for a proper road trip. Sadly low funds mean I'll more likely be visiting the attractions of the Southend Pier one of these days....

Dollywood Theme Park | Aunt Granny's Restaurant

Named by USA Today as one of the top-10 best theme park restaurants in the country, Aunt Granny's has been a Pigeon Forge staple since opening in 1986.

I was there 15 years ago, and the menu is almost unchanged. Just goes to show...

That menu sounds so good 🤤

Unlike anything that boring, beige blundercunt makes 🤮

AND, AND. AND... none of this excuses the fraud. the lying and the ongoing grift. Bad mental health is not a get-out for the consequences of her actions unless she has a clinical diagnosis of diminished capacity. Which she does not.

This is the fundamental problem for her now, if it’s true. She can never properly admit and resolve her issues because she’s funded her compulsion with a horrible, parasitical, societally-alienating grift.

It would also give Jack one up on SB's dad if she were throwing expensive stuff around for him, which would entirely fit with her character as we know it.

She's all about appearances so it makes sense that she'd spend silly money on branded clothes and tech for him, rather than taking him away on holiday or giving him experiences that would enrich his life in other ways.

How does someone fairly slim manage to look like a fat station controller (pic one).
Last picture whaaaattheactualfuccck is this? Looks like halfmumhalfdad dressing up.
The tights with the leopard shoes. Good grief. I’m willing to bet that her mum thinks next and Debenhams are the epitome of style because I’m sure no one in her life has any clue about fashion. No offense to anyone who shops at either, they have perfectly decent clothes but it’s not high fashion.

I know what she wanted to pull off with the blue shirt blazer blue socks pic but it’s missed the mark so badly. It needs to be ironed before getting creases from the journey there for a start. She looks like she stepped out of a wardrobe she fell asleep in.

Totally agree on getting one over on his dad, I can easily imagine SB realising he can play her as well “Dad said I can’t have the new FIFA it’s too expensive and it’s the same as last year” and Jack instantly taking the chance to buy it just because his dad said he couldn’t have it.

And sad as it is, all the consoles and games and tech would keep him occupied while she spent her time arguing on Twitter.
