It is my opinion that the For Sale sign is a story to sad fish and get attention

Her son is old enough to understand it is a mistake she doesn’t need to saw it down

I also fail to understand how she is still so traumatized by her limited period of poverty to the extent of sobbing on the stairs over this fictional error

For someone so traumatized she doesn’t half get through her money as previously mentioned
 
How does she see these responses & not cringe so hard that she disappears up her own arse?

Yeah, we’re in the midst of a pandemic, people have died today, some are battling terminal disease & then there’s the 19th most important gay in 2014 having a workman accidentally putting a for sale sign outside the wrong house.

I can’t stop laughing at that “19th most important gay in 2014” thing. It’s so Alan Partridge. We should try to work it into a thread title.
 
Ok this house thing has properly f*cked me off as it's something I'm looking at at the mo. Mr Cow and I have been saving for YEARS, both separately before we were together and also once we were, to buy somewhere as we have always rented. We have just managed to get the deposit together (including money from a lottery win (no not the jackpot, I am not a millionaire frau, if I was I would fly you all out to a luxury island for a holiday together) as renting and living in London means we can't save much each month. Who does she think she is trying to crowdfund so she can live in a huge house?! Jack - when you read here, take a look at yourself. You have short arms and deep pockets. Grow those f'ing arms and stop asking strangers for cash.

Sorry this message is a bit more aggressive than my normal tone but house buying is a current contention the cow household!

Isn't Mario from Ayrshire ?.Think he's in Paisley now ,so maybe Mackie could have his old house bet it's decorated lovely 😆
 
I think her obsession with owning a (big, apparently) house comes from a mixture of entitlement and jealousy. She’s deeply jealous of Jamie for example, and I think that’s why she started the pile-on back in March. She thinks he has the career (and money and success) that she should have had. She is too self-obsessed and deluded to appreciate that his success was largely due to talents which Jack simply doesn’t have (as evidenced by her turns on DKL and Hellmann’s).
She also lived with a multi-millionaire for a while, and would have assumed she was set for life and would always live in a big swanky (not rented) house (courtesy of Allegra’s hard work). But she fucked that up. Then she was with Louisa - also very comfortably off, house ownership wouldn’t have been a problem, all paid for by Louisa’s hard work. And she fucked that up.
Now her only option is to pay for it herself, through her own work, and she really doesn’t see why she should. So she stamps her foot and screams like a toddler.
 
Her cookery books don't sell either - so she needs a new revenue stream. Someone posted an article that said her total book sales were 80.000 or something - and 65.000 (not sure I'm right about these figures) was for the first one. So each one after has sold less and less.

Maybe that's why she's changing tack with this car-crash of a hunger/misery memoir.

I am a *lone* parent and I “own” my home...and yet, like most people who “own” their home, it’s not truly mine and I have to pay monthly for it. Covid, lockdown, etc are destroying jobs left, right, and centre so even though I have “my own” home, I’m similarly worried that one day this may no longer be ours. These problems and worries aren’t unique to Jack but to most people, yet most people don’t have the tremendous assets she does which she could liquidise quickly to cover months of rent. On her income she could afford a mortgage for a home big enough for just the two of them so it sickens me she pulls this card time and time again.
 
I totally agree with all the other points, but just to add - how many people have lost their job due to coronavirus? I live near a few tourist hotspots, where entire industries have collapsed. Levels of unemployment are through the roof - and people who still have jobs are often facing an uncertain future.

This twit got herself a TV programme, a mayo-flogging gig, and signed two book deals since the virus hit, and she has the gall to whinge about how poor she is? duck off.
