What happened to all the soups she batch cooked for this week?
also did this get deleted?
That meal looks like someone's vomited a half-digested Greek mezze into a bowl.
HOW can she still be sorting through rejected recipes from 6 years ago in a frantic attempt to cobble something publishable together? This is her third deadline FFS. If I miss a deadline at work I could lose a client or even be hauled before a court to explain why I haven't done what I'm supposed to. Yet deadlines for Jack are something nebulous that can apparently be extended indefinitely, not that even that stops her complaining about how haaaaaard everything is and expecting praise for doing the bare minimum.

Is she hoping for the landlords to gift it to her if she is gushy enough?I thought this was worth illustrating for anyone not around at the time.
All from May 2nd 2020.
Mrs J not excited about sleeping in the garden (she left the same week).

Thanks to @PennyLoafer and @ScorpioMoon for the screenshots. (No thanks to those who embedded tweets back then)
Hmmm, maybe your un-furloughed admin assistant could help?
But, but, but where is the wallpaper to colour in, why is she working on an old tarpaulin, why has she surrounded by so much shite????
I couldn't work like that, it's making me itch just looking at it. Fraus, I think this is my cutlery drawer moment
I really wish I could say, I probably said too much. I am hoping there was more than one person that left the "cheese course", otherwise I might have just identified them to Jacktea!

Bloody hell , it's the Domino biscuits
Walkers' shortbread with the shop bought decorations on top. Fcks sake!
ETA a little behind, already spotted by @Marmalade Atkins and @Silver Linings ! And probably some others too.
Also, it's curious that Nancy Birtwhistle's new book on modern household tips (that Jack was undeservedly gifted) is filed with all her notebooks and not on her actual bookshelves. Using it for "inspiration" are we Jack? #JacksHacks
She could, but would no doubt expect them to do it for nothing, not even pay them for out of pocket expenses. That may be the reason they wouldn't help out, we have all witnessed her sense of entitlement.
Just a hunch but I think there would have been severalI really wish I could say, I probably said too much. I am hoping there was more than one person that left the "cheese course", otherwise I might have just identified them to Jack
Did someone make a collage? Well done! 
I guess the answer to all the questions “Why?” and the whole purpose of today’s performance is the never ending desire for ATTENTION! I can’t see how the sycophancy of the squiggles helps getting a book finished but, like others, I’m not literally an expert at writing books.
Jack, you do realise you’re the poverty pet of the blue tickers, don't you? In the last two podcasts the interviewers made the right sympathetic noises and were suitably shocked in all the right places. But then what? I bet Claire Newell wouldn’t have interviewed Jessica, the mum from Oldham in the Sky piece yesterday. I know I’m not alone in saying how moving I found that. One thing that struck me was that the lady wasn’t moaning about all the terrible things that had been done to her, or even the government. She was in real distress and simply stating how hard she was finding life and how concerned she was for her kids. Some one said earlier that they wanted to hug her. I did too, but also to shake her hand and tell her to give herself some credit for doing so well and making it this far with her family intact.
With You Know Who it’s just moan moan moan, I’m too special, middle class, autistic or whatever to be in this situation. It’s such a wasted opportunity hearing a 9 year old rehashed, endlessly embellished film script from JM when we should be hearing from people like Jessica. The thing that most seemed to help her, with regard to her children, was getting a laptop.
Sorry, reeeeeaally long and slightly behind events. (Love anything that sounds like Partridge said it).

I don't know, she is the queen of fanny cakes and duck me sauce.Cum egg fried rice? I sure hope that's short for cumin.
Cream of salmon soup
I was a latchkey kid. Some might even say, I dunno, Dickensian ghost street child. Anyway, I used to throw things like this together when I let myself in after school
I would accidentally make something vile, because I had no idea how to feed myself, but then eat it anyway because food waste was a no no. Lots of my rank concoctions seemed to involve raisins! I remember once throwing whole Brazil nuts into Angel Delight. Do not recommend 1/10
So if you don’t like the process and it is so stressful don’t do it any more, go and make a living working in Asda or similar, again stop bloody whinging, nobody is forcing you to do this if you don’t want to.
