It's extremely performative! I bet she's furious about their fairly lukewarm non-fawning reaction. You'd prob expect a 'celeb' to donate more than 20 quid. Also she's probably sharing this so people see it and buy her books for someone else.

Hang on a minute, why would she have wallpaper? SHE RENTS?!
I said something earlier about waiting for her to do a recipe for toast, and Mummy Nigella has beaten her too it. With DOUBLE BUTTER. Couldn’t make it up.

I was on a big grunka last night so everything has already been said by you wise lot. I’m just not sure I understand the doodly planner. Some of it is only relevant to this week, so does she waste spend a whole day next week making a new one? I have a billion lists on Notes in my phone. It’s easy to read and delete as I go along. Having to decipher this mess of colour and scribbles doesn’t seem productive to me at all. I agree with all the wise fraus who said it’s like spending more time making a GCSE revision timetable than actually revising. It’s all for Twitter/our benefit.
Does it matter how old we are, we were all brought up on TV programmes from the 1950s.

I'm genuinely cringing at the fact she shared this. It is a lovely gesture but a small one... It just feels very performative? I do try and be fair with Jack and not dislike her for everything honestly!
And a drop in the ocean finance wise when you start weighing up iMacs, Cotswolds.

I donate monthly to three charities. Do you know how many of my friends and family know this? Precisely ZERO because I don't feel the need to broadcast it for clout.
She just wants everyone to pat her on the back, tell her how wonderful she is and then return the favour by buying HER books.

I hope my post didn’t come across as unkind or thoroughly mocking. I am genuinely confused as to why she may be employed by the bbc again after doing such a bad job. I’m sure there are lots of ways she could earn a genuine living that she would be much better at than presenting
To bung them in a curry? Stick ‘em in a stew?
no not at all it’s just something that’s been playing on my mind. xx
I share the same confusion. She's awful at TV work and every piece of on camera work this year has only served to demonstrate that. God knows why she'd be hired for further projects

I'M FILMING TODAY, I'M FILMING TODAY, DON'T KNOW IF I'VE MENTIONED IT BEFORE BUT I'M FILMING TODAY!!!!

Oh Brian, can I buy you one of Jack’s books as a thank (space) you?
Waitrose?
I don't know here N4 is bit aren't most places in the UK locked down so therefore snacks aren't easily accessible. Perhaps Gregg's might be open but that's about it.
I am genuinely struggling to think of a worse TV presenter. I cannot think of anyone else who lacks charisma, has an inability to read an autocue, is fidgety, butts in, forgets to give instructions and is as ill prepared as Jack. There is no way she is given TV work based on her skillset.I share the same confusion. She's awful at TV work and every piece of on camera work this year has only served to demonstrate that.

Babe, same. It's so bleeping performative. I think there is a very small argument to be made that people with lots of followers talking about supporting charities may encourage others to do the same, but posting screenshots of receipts is pathetic. AND this is not a charity. A post along the lines of
I love what XYZ Bookshop are doing with their #buyastrangerabookday! I'm supporting a few of my favourite authors this week. If you want to get involved, check out [insert link].
would be much less performative and probably encourage more people to participate. However, everyone would be better off supporting Marcus' charities. He actually focuses on what really matters right now.
I recommend Asda.

That sounds more like a punishment
I dunno. You say “small” but in Jacworld that equates to over 23 meals!
