Please, please please don't turn out to be a bigot. Be a sensible, analytical, honest frau like us.I have never met her but i really want her to be having a great day today. I love her smile and her jumper.
Assuming this is terminator squiggle tweeting the article to all newspapers, i both love and fear* them and hope their determination pays off!
*when i say fear I mean i wouldn't want to be the one who wronged them, they give zero fucks and im living for them and their vengeful quest for justice (please don't turn out to be a bigot). Jack messed with the wrong squiggle

I squealed at the 'for new readers' tweet! It's funny how we've been claiming she's not poor since we've all been here.... but she only tweets this to her followers after that Scotsman article.
Bahahahahahahahahahahaha. I bet you've had a gorgeous day washing your soiled pants Jack. This is just the start you mendacious cow.

Because of Waitrose dahling! Because of Ocado! Because the peasants eat kale as a seasoning and I like my duck eggs. (Please read in an Ab Fab voice!)
Oh honey, I'm so sorry. We fraus are here for you no matter what. If you need to vent please message me. You are doing great and I'm glad that you had the bravery to say this. xxx
Aw Blurp, sending you lots of love Quine. Others have put it far better than I could but I just want to reiterate (thatās right Jack, I can steal words too) that this here group of fabulousness are here and hoping things turn a corner for you really soon
Why won't Jack say, yes the waiting lists are very long, which is why I went private. Is she ashamed of it or doesn't she want her pay pigs to know she can afford private medical treatment.
And even if she did have a diagnosis of autism at 11 (which she didn't) she would need to be reassessed as an adult to confirm the diagnosis was correct.
itās really common for women to be misdiagnosed with BPD, iām so sorry youāre having such a fight
it shouldnāt be like this. at the very least youāre entitled to feel confident that any assessment has been fair and robust and that the people involved have communicated with you properly, even regardless of the outcome (hope that makes sense). hope things get (much!) better for you soon xxx
Jack Monroe, Bootstrap Cook interview - spilling the beans on tins, Twitter and talking about gender
The campaigning cook is on a mission to help everyone on a budget find the fun in feeding themselves
www.scotsman.com
This article in the Scotsman (ohhh, Jackie) she states that a few years ago her doctor diagnosed her as being '99 per cent of the qualities of classic autism and there are ADHD qualities to it.'
.... Soooooo
she only had adhd 'qualities' last year then?
āIām frugalā.
I suppose the Ā£20 shop could be seen as frugal. Although itās supplemented by a milkman delivery, a VERY well stocked store cupboard, countless undeclared gourmet foodstuffs that pop up as if from nowhere, and three freezers full of frozen meals.
Then thereās the endless pieces of Cotswold Co furniture (Ā£900+ each); the WaterRower (c.Ā£1,200); the jaunt to Edinburgh (canāt have been any change from Ā£1,500); a new TV for her kid; expensive curtains; Heist shape wear (c.Ā£190); that bloody weird sentient mirror (Ā£300); the wallpaper she uses as a notepad (Ā£40 a roll); multiple phones and other gadgets; Penhaligonās scent; Viv Westwood dress; designer gym leggings at around Ā£90 a pop; pricy designer crockery (Ā£144 per set); some crappy print for a friend (Ā£25, and it really was shite); etc. etc. etc.
And thatās just the stuff sheās told us about or photographed on her SM.
Frugal!

"She stretches out her legs, and groans a little, mid sentence. āArthritis,ā she explains. āIām going through all the Aās at the moment. ADHD, autism, arthritis, anxietyā¦ canāt wait for the bs, botulism...ā"
She is a c, for bleep.
At least sheās now finally saying āI used to be poor but Iām not nowā
keep saying it Jack and close that bloody tip jar.
keep saying it Jack and close that bloody tip jar.
I now work for a company with a huge healthcare benefit (American based firmĀ£3,000!!! Thatās a lot of cash...
I promise Iām not going to be a threads gone by bore but Iām sure it was you @heretoreaditall2019 who said on thread 1 that JM was possibly covered for private healthcare by āMrs Jā (shudders). If that was the case, Iām not sure it would cover an ADHD diagnosis but it could explain the speed of it - or maybe JM had/has enough money to splurge on sideboards, enough denim shirts to clothe her county and hammocks *and* pay for something like that.
Pure speculation MāLord
) and under our policy, yes, she would have been covered. It seems very plausible that was the route, although a lot of the medical staff are NHS too. We have a separate counselling service, again she would be covered, so could have started from that angle.
CLOSE THE TIP JAR
donāt hide the āIām not poor thanksā at the end of a few tweets. Write it on bleeping Instagram and Facebook. Put it on your bleeping website
that tweet is just to cover her back āsee I said itā
twit.

She still can't just give a straight up admission. It's littered with "but I'm scarred"'s and "I'm frugal's which are still bullshits IMO. Hey Jack since you're reading, can we get an update on the poverty manuscript? Ever-hopeful it will actually get published
Didnāt she once talk about a psychiatrist making a home visit for diagnosis when she was a child?
Iām sure I read that here, with receipts.
Itās all either BS or private Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£Ā£ practice.
Edited - should have read to the end! I see that someone posted a link to the article which talks about autism but not adhd. My opinion still stands though: BS or private.

I woke up in the middle of last night, and all I could think was:
"What did she make with the yellow sticker iceberg lettuces, 4 pints of skimmed milk, and .... Wafer thin ham.... that she bought in sainsburys on the Edinburgh trip? What possible combination could there be?
I need some kind of resolution with this. I can't have another tossy turny night

She is unbelievable.
Such an overused term I know so apologies in advance but 'just to reiterate I am no longer in poverty' verges on gaslighting.
Totally changing the recent historyshe chose to project.
Shameless.

Spot on. 'I've always been transparent and can prove it. Not my fault if people have misinterpreted what I say and have sent me money'.
Shameless.
Siri, what is gaslighting?
think it was an ed psych
