Don’t mean to badger you, but did you get work or did you just money? This will help us know if you did or didn’t take money off strangers. I mean, I don’t even know who you are, I’m not familiar with your body of work, but I’m guessing you’ve got quite a large following on Twitter and I’m guessing most of those people are strangers no?

So to sum up, if some kind Twitter person offered you work, then fair play that was a useful shout out. If, on the other hand, people who follow you donated their money to you, well it’s a basic grift and the comments here are valid (obvs not about your illnesses but I’ve not seen anyone bitching about your colon)

I think answering that simple question will resolve any misunderstandings.

I’ll be honest, I’m ambivalent about your take on salad bag pesto, so no need to answer that.

Seconding this. As another OG this would never be accepted.

Hi @okaylolbye

Thank you for posting, and I am sorry to hear about your health and personal issues.

I commented on your post here as it came to my attention through Jack’s likes. I appreciate this is a Jack Monroe thread, and I am more than happy for mods to delete my post if you are uncomfortable with it or if it breaches the rules. However, you are a blue tick public account and were talking about your debts and seeking work via a public platform, and whilst you are absolutely entitled to do so, that also means your account is open to public scrutiny and opinion. I posted your tweet because I viewed a like from Jack as an endorsement of the concept of entitlement by some blue tickers to expect work and/or donations just because they ask on Twitter - and they have a large following - something I am personally uncomfortable with, especially as some people donating are of limited financial means themselves.

I assume that someone directed you here, and if the discussion following my post has caused you any distress then I apologise - and as I say, very happy for mods to delete as appropriate. I wish you all the best.

I wasn’t aware stepchange couldn’t help if self employed, perhaps due to variable income. I appreciate it may be difficult to do but if you contact your bank and creditors directly and explain the situation they may be able to support with reduced payments. The regulators are all over the banks and how they are treating people through Covid so they should have procedures in place.

*Whispers* what's an OG?

I am crap with abbreviations.

Until recently I thought IRL an abbreviation for Ireland ( which it is) but I couldn't understand the internet context.

Question Answered. Fair enough

Yep don’t recall anything directly mocking a genuine health condition and it certainly wouldn’t have gone unreported. There’s plenty of posters on the thread with various health issues of their own - so can’t imagine anything cruel about a health condition would even have been posted.

I do like a mini chaos on a Sunday evening. Will this thread go into the “we were visited” Hall of Fame like #31?

Jack will report us to the mods for going off topic!

Hattie- did Jack ever write the 10 minute article?

I did ask my parents for help when my first husband buggered off & left me with my new born, but I did do their cleaning for the £20 a week shopping they did for me in return. Please note Jack this was early 1990's & i was soon in receipt of income support and any other benefits going to make my SBs life better. Please also note i did not sell his (coincidentally) favourite toy which was dennis the cuddly dinosaur, never even occurred to me as I didnt actually sell anything not even light bulbs. She didn't do anything then that put her child first. I now OWN the same house i was living in then. She chose that shit & still does. I also wouldn't rule out a colposcopy as being the cause of all the dramz had them too Jack, sit down and shut up

I literally have zero interest in money. I don't get the greed people have for it. As long as my kids are fed, the bills are paid and we can afford alittle trip out now and again, I don't want much else.

When I say trip like a bus( because I don't drive) to the nearest beach. Or a trip to see my family which literally was an annual thing and we save like crazy for.

Thank you for the clarification. Are you joining the Cabal, lurking or visiting? Keep safe and good luck with your life’s journey x

I do say kudos to Hattie for coming here to explain that the £400 was earned.
Due to past problems with the funding/patreon/indiegogo of the magazine, I feel that has informed the suspicion unfortunately, however it has now been cleared up. I wish you well in your endeavours on a personal level.

I found the post regarding IBD and UC and toilet roll, and I disagree that it was mocking the disorder. As a “get your belly out” supporter I would have called it out but didn’t need to, in fact the author clarified it themself.
