Not for the first time, I am confused by the timelines here. The Dreary seems to run about a month behind her actual life, so the 'cliffhanger' ending must have not resulted in a breakup, given that David was still around to 'kidnap' Prudence fairly recently. God knows whose cat it is, but the police should have better things to do than log this as a 'crime' and devote valuable resources to 'solving' it - it's not like the animal's whereabouts are unknown. It seems so completely out of character for David to act in this way, I am sure there must be more to the story than is being written. But she has now accused him in print of kidnap /theft and I am surprised that the DM's lawyers have permitted this, without the usual bit at the end about having contacted 'the accused' (or their representative) for a comment.
Her PS about the apparent attempted email fraud is more interesting, but if true, I don't understand why these fraudsters didn't just have her transfer the money to their bank account first time around? She says both emails were fraudulent, but that she acted on the first one and transferred this money - so why on earth would they have then returned it and asked her to do it again, to a different account, thereby causing even Liz to become suspicious???

That bit about the bank didn't ring true at all. It's like she's read about it happening to someone else, and put it in for the sake of an incident/story.

If she ever read the newspaper she writes for she'd know about this, one of many examples below. But, as I mentioned, they get the money first time, no 2nd chances to wise up, as was the case for our heroine.

Definitely, it'd be gone!

Just trying to read today's offerings. *sigh*
I'm keeping this firmly in mind

Precisely. Anyway ... back to the Hot News: CATNAPPED CAT. It was originally Domino Darling's cat, so far as I recall. It was around when DD and David lived together. But when David left it with Liz, DD wanted it back, but Liz refused. DD has posted here occasionally - if she's reading this, perhaps she'll confirm?

As for the anorexia, I did read her latest book 'Girl least likely ...' etc etc. and it does document her long stay in hospital being treated for an eating disorder. I really can't bothered to dig out the book and find the relevant chapters - if this was in her late teens or early twenties.

How horrid of her to read The Baker's emails.

I noticed that in her description of the "modest house" that she mentions it has "bathrooms" (plural).

Now surely if you were facing imminent bankruptcy you would consider the least expensive property to fulfill your needs? As a single woman, living on her own, does she really need more than one bathroom? Or is that so when the Baker comes over he doesn't mess up her huge array of beauty products?

She really does live on a different planet to everyone else.

Just because she wrote it, doesn't follow that it's true. When has she ever let truth get in the way of a good story?

She also describes in her book how the hospital would weigh her while she wore her long overcoat filled with bottles of water. And how the consultant (treating her for alleged anorexia) broke her hymen for her. WTAF?!! These two 'facts' put the lie to everything else she's written about the whole episode.
She's like a silly teenage girl who's made up a lie and now has to see it through to the bitter end, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. The fact she had the audacity to go on that eating disorders show alongside people with real problems is quite sickening.

You forgot the single most important detail, it was a Paul Smith coat.
Couldn't agree more with your post.

For those of you who think she doesn't lie about her health- in the prudence story, the PROFOUNDLY DEAF Jones speaks to police officer on the phone. Just to clarify, profoundly deaf is defined as 85-100% hearing loss, so yes, another lie.

Oh yes. And one just hopes that it was PELLEGRINO water. Not just common old Tesco's sparkling.

Just dug out my copy of her book .... steeling myself to plough through it.

But I like Pellegrino Water - they do a wonderful one mixed with blood orange juice which is as near as you can get to a TT Campari!

I believe she has some degree of deafness as she has the terrible toneless voice of the deaf who get no help and don't try. Listen to Evelyn Glennie - totally deaf - but, because she has worked at it, you wouldn't know.

Re Prudence, I*'m sure there is more to it and firmly believe that David got sick of Liz's sniping and refusing to let Domino Darling have her cat back, so took action himself and good for him, I say!

I'm not surprised David took Prudence back. Hasn't dominodarling asked for her back in the past and Jones has refused? Now she's allegedly facing such domestic uncertainty, being removed from the chaos and taken back to either David's flat or given back to her rightful owner is the best outcome for the cat. (I know Jones says that the cat was in poor condition but she says a lot of things that are lenient with the truth.)

I've been trying to guess at the finances of this rental propety that has 2 bathrooms but costs 'a tenth' or her mortgage payments. According to several calculators I've looked at , the payment on a 90% mortgage for the £1.1 million Lawn House was last sold for would be around £4.5k a month. In the farticle she claims she was paying just under £4k for deposit and rent on the new property, so unless she was being asked for a huge deposit and several months rent in advance it isn't 'a tenth' of the cost. Rental property in North Yorkshire seems to be £450 a month minimum so none of this adds up. (Although I'm not at all sure why I expected it to!)

But how does someone on the verge of bankruptcy, who regularly complains about the meanness of tradesmen who refuse to do more work for her when she doesn't pay them what she owes, get within a mile of passing any kind of credit check?

I wondered about the credit check too.

Oh dear. I thought I'd wandered into some obscure 'art' film, shown in a private cinema club (very common in the 1960s, though probably most of you not even born then). All that ever so slow 'turning to camera' stuff and excruciating close-ups. I bore it bravely for ten minutes, then put on a DVD of 'Are you being served?' But I still stand by an observation I made having watched (briefly) some of Liz's sojourn in the CBB house - when she talks, she moves her jaws like she's got a mouthful of false teeth that are sort of ... slipping around. I believe she doesn't have false teeth, but veneers. Can veneers do this?”

A friend of mine makes the same sort of jaw movements when Columbia's finest is involved.

Having been hospitalised for anorexia in the eighties I can safely say that she would not have gotten away with wearing her overcoat whilst being weighed. I had to strip down to my underwear and was never allowed to visit the bathroom or take a shower unaccompanied.

I must admit I thought that was bollocks too. What kind of dr would even allow a person with eating disorders wear anything like that in the first place? Just like the rest of Ms Jones output it smells distinctly of bullshit

To be honest it's the over dramatic description of EVERYTHING that grinds my gears but particularly the "deafness".

I've got 2 daughters who have both been through multiple operations on their ears and both daughters have quite significant hearing loss.

It's like she takes random snippets of other people's lives and experiences and uses them to form and feed the persona she shills.

I read the relevant section of the book (Thanks, Google Books!) and while I can't speak about the overcoat, the hymen thing was pretty disturbing. I don't know whether treatment of anorexia routinely involves internal examination but would it have been common practice even in the 1970s for a doctor to break a patient's hymen while examining her?

Perhaps she didn't/couldn't pass the credit check and therefore had to stump up several months in advance. But seeing as she normally has about three pounds six and a half p in her account, where the flip did this chunk of money come from to pay the rental?

Oh and what a biatch for reading her ex-?-beloved's emails. That is seriously, seriously out of order.

There a a few clips of her that really do cast doubt upon how deaf she is, like her head whipping around almost exorcist style when someone she was deliberately not looking at had a dig at her.
Also India Knight ( who I think is horrible but not like Lizard) made reference to an unnamed person who overnight started declaring they were deaf and wittering on about acoustics everywhere, but that needn't have any relevance to Ms J.

£4.5k a month for a £1MM mortgage would be an interest only arrangement. Who knows what she actually signed up for, if it was a repayment deal over say 15 years then the monthly repayments would be around twice the IO deal. Ordinarily, she would be doubly in trouble given the the value of the house has fallen and it is now being sold at auction, since the lender would still be able to come after her for the shortfall between the loan and what is recouped at auction - but the debt is wiped out by bankruptcy. So she is (relatively) free to continue on her merry profligate way, subject to the conditions of the bankruptcy.
