i haven't even read the article, i swear i can't look away from her eyebrows

wowsers. you know, i look dreadful in the morning too, but i wouldn't allow myself to be photographed. what an odd mix of neurotic and conceited she must be to go for it. it actually makes me like her more, for some reason.

Oh my goodness, she looks like a Halloween costume.

I wanted to read it and laugh at the brows but too drawn to the news that Chers son has had a sex change ( in the column of stories on the right).

she always manages to come up with new ways to be utterly offensive and objectionable. It's quite a talent.

I was late putting the bins out this morning, so had to chat to a young bin man, wearing only a stripey dressing gown and a coldsore (me not him). So I am very glad of this link, to make me feel better about myself.

have read the article now. she really is a corker. at least she apologised to the staff at the co-op.

and Chaz has been a boy for yonks now, it's old news...

amusing article though

She was supposed to live off £65 for the week and managed to spend £250.

For Liz this was quite a good article. However, anybody could live on £65 if it was only for a week. If she tried a whole year she could write a book and pay off her debts.

I don't think I have ever spent that much money on myself in my life. No wonder she is £150k in debt.

Are we meant to feel sorry for her or something? Or pat her on the back for bringing this to peoples' attention?

FFS

why does living on benefits make you look like a witch?

do you think, mp? i don't know how to read it, tbh. if her eyes have really been opened she'll have to jack in her job (which is, after all, laughing at poor people) and then she'll really be in trouble. so it'll have to be business as usual from next week, with her burnt caramel highlights done and her legs waxed etc.

You say that as if to admonish me Aitch but I shall revel in knowing that one piece of celebrity tat passed me by for ages.

( although my pride is, I admit, diminished by commenting on it whilst reading a Liz Jones thread)

Well humble pie is cheap at least

lol. while i have the opportunity, pag, might i say that you have been amusing me enormously of late, so thank you. <hands over gold star>

crikey...she looks about 80..

good on her for allowing that photo...proves she's not shallow & conceited....

i've always liked her.

It does seem like she learnt something, although given she spent way more than the amount she was meant to, she clearly didn't do it properly.

she wouldn't have done anything except watch reruns of poirot wearing big woolly socks, though, if she hadn't overspent.

that is my idea of heaven, though not an interesting article.

'wondering how on earth I would bring myself to purchase a bottle of wine that cost below my usual £25 benchmark.'

Christ on a bike!

Having seen those photos of her au naturel I would say that £800 on grooming every 4 weeks was a bargain.

How on earth can Broadband cost £100 a month?

Well having seen the before and after pics I think I might have to start spending something more on grooming! If it can make that much difference.

She has a quite extraordinary attitude to money and things. Her spending habits are wild but absolutely pale in comparison to those of Annie Leibowitz. Its an illness, isn't it, compulsive spending?

Liz Jones is living proof that after a certain age you look better with a leetel bit of fat on you. How old is she anyway?

Actually she's quite funny on this one, how odd that it takes her being poor to come across as remotely likable. 17 cats though?!

According to Wikipedia (I know, I know) she claims to be 51. But (apparently) according to the England & Wales Birth Index she is actually 59. Of course, this could be made up entirely.

the woman is clearly a self obsessed LOON.

just doing a WEEK

it's fucking insulting to pretend like you know the emotional suffering of having to live on nothing.

how fucking dare she?

no SANE person spends £50 on a fucking candle you moron.

her cats changed from cod to whiskers ...WHISKERS? how about brand own?

i am thoroughly insulted - a week and she knows the hardship of the underclass.

fuck you Liz
