To think liz jones must surely be taking the piss

I can't do links but it is on this is money or google can liz jones survive a week on benefits.
Surely she can't be for real ? My jaw is still dropped a day after reading ,I have never liked her but this is taking the biscuit. I half feel sorry for her because she willnever be happy and I really do think she needs help and half of me wants to find her and give her a god slap .
And how can someone be paid so much to write such utter crap ?

Fucking woman is as mad as a box of frogs. Although still retaining enough sanity to earn an astonishing income from writing screeds of self-indulgent shyte.

mateysmum · 08/03/2011 04:34

She spends £800 a month on grooming and can't pay her tax bill!!!!
If I was HMRC I'd be sending "the boys" round.

I hope against hope that nobody can really be as stupid and self indulgent as this woman and that she is just doing what the DM does best - winding people up with made up rubbish.

Anyone know her, let her know she's on MN, we might get a mention!

(She maybe a little upset with us, though).

"She has a full time animal nanny called Louise who lives in the nice barn conversion. Tsk, tsk, keep up at the back!"
Nicola. Who is no doubt going to lose her job when this self-obsessed woman moves back to London. I wonder where she thinks she is going to dump her animals?

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 08/03/2011 08:33

I would like to go drinking with her.

I love the fact whenever the DM is mentioned people say oh can't trust it it's the DM but apparently every word that Liz Jones writes is the gospel truth....

kenobi · 08/03/2011 10:29

Libra "apparently every word that Liz Jones writes is the gospel truth...." well quite...

She swears everything is true but there are some (unnervingly) dedicated people on digital spy who uncover every lie she's ever written and there are loads - things like saying her house is dilapidated and that it has sea views - well, it's here: absolutely beautiful and she's about 30 miles from the coast so no WAY does it have sea views.

Plus she only has an automatic BMW but managed to deliver her neighbour's post or shopping of something in a 4X4 in the snow last winter, lives alone, yet there's this lady called Nicola who seems to be there permanently.

Also she apparently gets personal visits from the tax man who turn up on her doostep on the off-chance she's there. I don't think the tax office bothers to actually turn up in person unless they're investigating you, and even then I imagine they'd just send a summons...

kenobi · 08/03/2011 10:29

And yes, istyosty rocks!

Becaroooo · 08/03/2011 11:45

The only thing in her defence is that she isnt Peter Hitchens (aka Stalins younger, less attractive brother)

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 08/03/2011 12:40

'This is my grooming routine, month in, month out, and I have only just added up the cost: £800 every four week.'
FAIL!!!!
This woman drives me absolutely, totally farking MENTAL! MIL gave me her book. I gave it back! Its horrendous. The poor bloke she was married to, he had a lucky escape. Mind you, he must still be living to regret it. She never leaves him alone! How anyone can pay her 150k to write this drivel I just dont know!

melikalikimaka · 08/03/2011 12:48

One black hair dye, aldi face cream, red nail varnish does not add up to £800, and that's what she looks like to me!

my beauty budget is using gift sets left over from xmas and cutting my own hair and using home dyes coupled with lack of sleep and i still look better than that , i think she has the face she deserves tbh ,
i like the bit where she is in primark thinking everone will hate her for writing about luxury goods, one she is not that famous no one probably knew who she was and she needs to get over herself, two if they did know her they would hate her because she is a self obseesed twunt.
i used to feel sorry for her way back when she wrote about her husband now i think he dodged a bullet he probably needs therapy to get over it .

My beauty regime includes water, a liberal application of stable grime, and frequent canine face washings. And my face looks miles better than hers! I think she looks like exactly what she is, a dried up, bitter old crone!

Becaroooo · 10/03/2011 11:41

hmmm..."beauty regime"...I must get around to having one of those some day Blush

PigValentine · 10/03/2011 11:58

My favourite line is - "just like those mothers in Primark trying to eke out the best they could for their children" Grin Grin

Becaroooo · 10/03/2011 14:00

Oh, god.

Did she actually write that????? We all say stupid/thoughtless stuff now and again for various reasons, but to write it down, proof read it and still submit it!!!!! Shock

Tidey · 10/03/2011 14:04

Oh, she is just awful. I don't think she can be real either. Whenever I've read anything she's written I can't bring myself to believe that she's anything other than a composite of every godawful woman some team of writers have ever met. That article about Joanna Yates was so offensive.

Becaroooo · 10/03/2011 14:17

I think she may have some sort of disorder tbh.....she just has no empathy at all. The only thing she cares about is her animals and apparently she is now even willing to ditch them!!!

MissVerinder · 10/03/2011 15:25

She makes me want to vomit. Shame on her.

littlebylittle · 10/03/2011 16:27

IMO the daily mail is at fault for exploiting someone with a mental illness or personality disorder or both.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 10/03/2011 16:41

She cant be real though. She writes things like 'I am literally down to my last penny, I dont know how I will feed the fur babies (vom), no one cares about me, its all horrid. Anyway, must dash because the holistic hen hypnotist is due round this afternoon and I have need to have my facial done in Knightsbridge before then. I cant afford to tax the BMW so will just have to take the helicopter instead. Life is just SO drear at the moment'

No one would write that without seeing the irony would they? Surely?

MelTesers · 10/03/2011 17:02

It's all made up - surely nobody believes her - do they?

MelTesers · 10/03/2011 17:06

Actually my parents read and absorb and believe every word printed - and very often quote back at me as the 'truth' - so not at all sure why I just posted Shock

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 10/03/2011 18:17

Thousands of people are reported to have sent her money when she announced she was broke!

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 10/03/2011 18:18

Did I mention I was broke?
