I don't get how she was always going to the pub by herself with NO CHILDCARE and NO MONEY doing 120 HOUR WEEKS either. It's almost like she had loads of free time/ spare cash after all


turns out this was another "big things coming soon" that never materialised. Two calls for contributions and one recipe and about eight here's my tip jars. I don't get it. All these shops and domain names aren't free. She's wasting enough every year to run about 100 lightbulbs, and it's just more evidence of over promising and never delivering.

Only 7ish people know her address yet she has a cacophony of ‘friends’ who come over to check on her and hold her gently, softly and painstakingly . So take out mummy, big chocco and SB, who must definitely know her address, oh and LJC who lived there once, then that leaves 3 people. duck off monroe

And all them random stranger mums she invited round for cake and tea or whatever?

And all the random people who send her things she doesn’t even know are there and end up in the shed getting eaten by mices

And the poor driver who spent hours outside her house trying to get her up out of bed for the Shattenstone interview

I still cannot believe they admitted they were worried enough about her to get her former girlfriend (presumably LJC) to ring her, had her turn up and say she’d slept through it all and then cried all the way there and yet still went ahead with the shoot and interview well into the night.

And I can’t believe Jack was stupid enough that she decided to go with “Simon and me are mates innit” and not leap on the massive opportunity the Guardian handed her to say they’d taken advantage of her. Safeguarding, what safeguarding, what’s next, we got the police out to do a welfare check then conducted the interview anyway??

(She’s an absolute bleep but that’s not how an allegedly reputable paper should be conducting photoshoots and interviews, that is Sun level behaviour.)

ETA: and I know the excuse given for them is it will have been a short deadline to publication etc but it doesn’t wash with me still, they must have some sort of plan B for any interview, never mind a self confessed alcoholic who is unreliable, what happens if the person they’re going to interview has a stroke the day before or is in a car accident?

I met Alan Carr once, probably about 15 years ago now. I was off my tits in a gay bar.

I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me too. Perhaps if I'd tweeted about his love for me, we'd still be friends.

I know someone who shagged him years ago, pre-fame. If only he could have tweeted about it at the time!
nobody ever tweets Jack, do they? No “thanks for helping out my mate P with her benefits application the other month” is there?
