'please Jack, can't we just go out for for lunch?'
BIB: that's probably why - she doesn't seem to give a fuck about enriching his life in any way.Re Glastonbury (love it - last went in 2013, the year before Jack's opus in The Guardian)...yes there are amazing food stalls all over the site so you can get anything you want. It's one of the best things about it that you can pick up anything you fancy (as long as you can manage to locate the stall again).
What struck me is that having had presumably a free entry to the festival, she was packing up and leaving on Saturday in the day. What a bloody waste - she says she had SB with her, it could have made an amazing experience for him. Why didn't they stay until the end and go back on Monday after it finished.
I don't have children but there are always loads there and it's v family oriented (there's a family camping field etc) as well as for adult fun.
What a wasted opportunity...although that seems to be a general trend doesn't it in the life of Jack Monroe.
She had to didn’t she, not by choice. I suspect rot was a childcare issue.She left Edinburgh early as well didn't she? I wonder if it's one of her things?
I remember that tooShe always does self catering apartments when she travels too. Wasn't she bragging about cooking for guests in her and a Mrs J's hotel room once using just a kettle or something? Or did I dream that given the number of us who have now experienced JM in dream form?
I don't believe we ever found out the real reason for the Edinburgh trip. It was odd as tuppence. She wanted everyone to think it was a total spur of the moment trip on a whim and she was never going home because she's *craAaAzZy* and just a little pixie going where the wind blows her but in reality she probably had a reason to be there and always planned to go home a couple of days later. SighShe left Edinburgh early as well didn't she? I wonder if it's one of her things?
more like bollocksnaise if she had used her usual brand of sausage.When she was scampering to get her Five Guys?
I recall from an earlier thread that Justine from mumsnet’s husband is Louisa’s boss. Have I imagined that? I might have.Ive seen people here say any negative mention of her on Mums Net is deleted , anyone know why that is ?
He may be, I thought he was a journalist or editor at The Guardian but he may have changed jobs.I recall from an earlier thread that Justine from mumsnet’s husband is Louisa’s boss. Have I imagined that? I might have.
Sorry this has been done to death & it’s the least fun bit of JM but she’s likely taken too many dividends this year (greedy goblin!) thus not leaving enough in her company acct to meet tax liabilities due, causing a deficit. She’ll have to pay it out of her personal bank account as a directors loan, which is likely why the purse string tightening is a thing. It’s a really bad position to be in and HMRC will start taking projected liabilities in advance as a result.Inspired by the post above I decided to 'ave a butchers at JM's micro accounts and I'm a bit puzzled by them not being an accounts type. They're for last year but to my untrained eye she seems to owe more than she makes. Is this right or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

He works on Newsnight, I believe. So not L's current boss but might have worked with her in the past at the BBC.He may be, I thought he was a journalist or editor at The Guardian but he may have changed jobs.
The last few threads regarding Jack on MN seem to have been left. I think MN are sensitive to the risks of legal action following all the ruckus which took place over Gina Ford years ago. These days they seem to delete libellous ) or potentially libellous) comments but leave the actual thread unless it becomes overwhelmingly negative when it’s deleted as “not in the spirit of MN”.
That said I‘ve not been on MN much recently.
She claimed to have been “summoned “ back because of a problem. Problem was never mentioned again.She left Edinburgh early as well didn't she? I wonder if it's one of her things?

I found my way over here because the JM threads on MN were not telling me what I wanted to know, which was the goss on where Mrs J had got to!
In this era of muted chaos the best we have to look forward to is a new face or body
Aaahh is that why she had so much work from the guardian?He was previously at The Guardian and then Newsnight Editor, but he is now at Channel 4 as Director of Programmes. LC has only so much social capital to use up before having to ask herself some very serious questions, and maybe make some choices between her personal and professional life.
Now that her media career is in the process of being liquidated, I think the next big event to look forward to is the inevitable chaos and drama if there is a house move next year. At least she will be able to keep the removal guys entertained with a tune while they haul the Cotswold Company collection out.
You forgot “take a Nutribullet with you, for all the cooking and photography you’ll need to do, but you won’t be able to carry it home and so make a big show of giving it away on Twitter”I still can't get over how little she did on that break or her general lack of interest in actually seeing any of Edinburgh. Half the fun of a city break is just wandering around and seeing what you can find. It's her holiday but eating from chains, taking pictures of soon to be binned slop and making up stories about feeding rough sleepers strikes me as a terrible waste.
Mumsnet mods delete any threads critical of basically anyone in the public eye, mainly because so many Mumsnetters are prissy Head Girl types who hit the Report button at the merest hint of bitching. Especially considering how a lot of them just think of Jack as being a poor vulnerable single mother who isn’t deserving of being called out for anything. If you even accuse her of having mental health issues you’ll get deleted.Ive seen people here say any negative mention of her on Mums Net is deleted , anyone know why that is ?
I'm pretty sure one of the Frauen speculated that it was a pre planned trip with Louisa, and it had been booked ages in advance so Jack decided to go anyway. Hadn't they both stayed there before, so she was just letting L know what she was missing by not going?I don't believe we ever found out the real reason for the Edinburgh trip. It was odd as tuppence. She wanted everyone to think it was a total spur of the moment trip on a whim and she was never going home because she's *craAaAzZy* and just a little pixie going where the wind blows her but in reality she probably had a reason to be there and always planned to go home a couple of days later.
