I love the self-defeating backpedal in this. “Oh no, it was a paddling pool!”
So either: you got busted for disclosing that you have chums with a swimming pool and you then lied that you were actually referring to a paddling pool, and you’re a wanker, OR:
It really was a paddling pool, but you initially implied it was a swimming pool, and you’re a wanker, OR
It’s entirely fabricated and you’re a bleeping headcase.
No win. Her own Kobayashi Maru* if you will.
*one for the Trekkies there. Like El Grande Chocco and La Choccolina.

It must have been a swimming pool mustn’t it. Because otherwise if you’d jumped in fully-clothed you’d just have got your socks wet.

But she has Duolingo. So there’s that.

Duolingo drifts in and out of her life like a child that's left home. Turns up out if the blue, stays around for a couple of days and then gone without so much as a mention..

Talking about a child that's left home, that's one blessing. She no longer embarrasses him on 'tinterweb. All those personal details she wrote about for all his mates to use as taunts. Another thing to be thankful for.

There are lots of swimming pools behind the bungalows of Thorpe Bay, so it's not even all that unreasonable for her to know someone who has access to one. All she had to do was say "Yeah, my friend was able to host it at their retired parents' place - it's amazing, they're so lucky!" and no-one would have batted an eyelid.

It's always the most unnecessary lies that cause her the most trouble.

The way she goes through money, that little nest egg she built up won't last that long. Then she won't have to pretend to look POOR, she'll be POOR. And it can't come quick enough.

Not that I'd wish poverty on anyone, but there's always an exception.

I absolutely do wish poverty on her, grinding up her own bones to make flour level poverty. It’s only fair.
She’s made money off the exploitation of people she claimed to support. Which DISGUSTS me.

It’s telling how she clearly goes from paddling pool to proper built in swimming pools instead of saying it was one of the cheap jobs from Argos that you stick in the garden - which wouldn’t even undermine her pov claims particularly, I know plenty of working class people who’ve bought one and stuck in it the garden for the kids (then regretted it cos they’re buggers to clean) so her friends wouldn’t need to be poshos for one.
 
Oh dear. Kerridge, stealer of recipes and actual poor-bloke-made-good is doing a bit more campaigning.

I wish that too. That she one day has to live on her crappy £20 a week slops and that people are like ‘well Jack, you did say it was possible to live on this’.

Sadly, she’ll always have Chocco to fall back on. I hope he lives past 100 so she doesn’t get her grubby mitts on any inheritance. It’ll probably be much less than she thinks anyway.

The guest-alike in my life is the same. Constantly elevenerifing their childhood to claim they were dirt poor only to be reminded of the large house in leafy suburbia which they then try to play down in a "We didn't have a washing machine though" style.

I had one of those, their dad pays £500 a month toward their rent as he’s loaded but acted like they were broke all the time when really they had very poor spending habits.
