Having being medicated for 'Hyperactivity' as a child and my very old Dr finally digitising his patient records making them easily searchable was my absolute saving.
Proved I wasn't just 'over-reacting'.

Proved I wasn't just 'over-reacting'.
I'm clenching my hole at all the book tweets tonight. How are her agent and publisher not embarrassed? It couldn't be more obvious that she's, yet again, left things until the last minute because she was too busy hoovering up attention on Twitter to do any of the work she actually gets paid for. And now we have all this performative, night-before-a-project's-due angling for another deadline.
Also, looking at one of the "new" recipes, it's nice to see her branching out into new territory: beans, stock and pasta.
Same slop, different book.

She would remember the name of one of her old recipes and the story attached. The ingredients, not so much.
☆catching up☆ please someone explain to me in black and white terminology (PPD/BPD diagnosed) why it's such a problem if someone reads something here and it occurs somewhere else online? It's the Internet. How are you going to police it and why?
Lads, I'm catching up here and there and snort and hoot and fling lungs out at the most inopportune moments but.my nearest and dearest just look at me and go "Tattle again"?
Thankyou, duck off x
How dare
correct thankyou, bleeping cheek!

So that's tomorrow with the Pritt Stick then 9 days with your feet up.
In an alternate universe where our JM is a comic book character and the marvel comics "jack monroe" is an influencer...This is the preview for her GA, in the last 2 days she’s been in two articles, 1 of them is about a made up JM

"Captain America's most tragic partner" would be a great thread title
I lie awake at night, horrified about how much material we're going to have for next year's sloppies, based on just the last 6 weeks.
Have mercy on me Jack.
Also, if this makes the Google alert in half an hour... Wash your nails. That is all for today.

That would be a great title for the next thread!
But then she'd have to post it to them - and we already know the front door of the agent is about as passable as the Morannon/Black Gate of Mordor, never mind the days in the desolation of the Dead Marshes from Just-Behind-the-Tennis-Club to The-Post-Office.
This would be, I fear, a Quest Too Far.
It's something that never really goes away, even if you end up getting therapy/taking meds. There's always a faded little voice in the back of your mind that sometimes gains a bit of control, and you do silly things like throwing away leftovers so you don't eat them, or going without food if the only option is a previous 'trigger food'. If she's going to cosplay something, she might at least do some bloody research!
No onion or garlic?
occasionally I have made a soup when on a budget and have had to leave vital ingredients out and replace with what is in the cupboard....but this doesn’t seem like this is what has happened. I find it more likely that someone would have an onion than ginger.
She just has thrown stuff together and people will buy the stuff. The soup would probably be nice with garlic or onion instead of tomato purée for example. Similar to one I occasionally make with carrot and ginger except I use nice onion, garlic, fresh chilli, ginger(not sure if 50g but I doubt it) carrots and a little drizzle of honey.
Jack- feel free to DM me and I can give you the full recipe and u can include a credit and a nominal fee to the charity of my choosing.
And don’t forget, the post office called her and requested she refrained from posting parcels. There are just too many obstacles!
I’m on the waiting list for an ADHD assessment next month and it’s people (let’s be honest, middle class women) like Jack who claim to have ADHD that have put me off from getting tested for so long because I’m worried about looking like I’m trying to make excuses for character flaws or laziness, rather than the fact that I can really struggle with executive functions when I have a professional job and need to carry on the facade that I’m doing fine. If I do get diagnosed I don’t imagine I’ll share the information with many people, I just want some help to improve my focus and organisation because the stress of not being able to focus when you really want to can be unbearable. It’s not cute, it’s not quirky, it’s holding me back and it’s very detrimental to my mental health
When I was really young, back in the day where almost everywhere had their local post office, our local post office woman was the type of person who sighed over literally every task... I do sometimes wonder if when that branch closed she relocated to Southend...
(only unfortunately she was about 70 back then so I assume long dead now)
Yikes, we have a Troll?tit, I missed this off my "bullies" post earlier.
the bullies who are just so vile (a very overused word imo) that she came and joined in for hours! the bullies that are mostly left-leaning, intelligent young-ish women who used to admire her, who she thought she could win round in the end.
also, there was a very intelligent sounding squiggle replying to the snitch-tag tweet earlier who made some very good points to the snitch-tagger. unfortunately, then a Known Troll showed up
anyway, it's thunderclap time! whoo hoo!
Oh, it's a conundrum isn't it? What a pickle.
Sitting by candlelight hunched over a Nokia 3310 suddenly seems like a halcyon dream.
'I'm not a fan of war, but I'm a fan of waging war on my intestines!'
You’re certainly a box ticking exercise. And there we go with the excuses...right on cue as she’s got bored & would rather piss about on Twitter.
ETA-has the unthinkable happened? Has Jack even become bored of her sodding ‘origin story (some would say fantasy)’?
