She’s a PoochiI’m in loveWhat breed is she? I’m rubbish at telling different breeds apart.
Who Gives a Crap is even betterOh wait, I'm confusing it with my daughter's potty training book! the book is called Oh Crap! But the toilet paper company is Who Gives A Crap. They're great. A little pricier than from the supermarket, but it's recycled and comes in colourful paper that we use for crafts. And it's nice to not have to think about having to buy it- it just turns up and you never run out!
It's Jack in a nutshell though, isn't it? All of the glory for none of the work!I think that was the time I started to go off her tbh. The arrogance of it all.
Agreed! I bet Jack has caught herself up too and is itching to get tweeting; jealous that her tattle thread has been taken over by someone else!I don’t care what anyone says, we’re a friendly, nice, supportive bunch here and it bugs me when people say we aren’t to suit their own narrative
Dear @PocahontasAgreed! I bet Jack has caught herself up too and is itching to get tweeting; jealous that her tattle thread has been taken over by someone else!
Jack kindly offered to send someone some “fancy shmancy” cutlery in the post. Nothing anywhere near as exciting as your adorable puppy!She has been awfully quiet of late... anything I need caught up on?
Dear Lurker,Dear @Pocahontas
I am a concerned observer of these here threads and although I deliciously enjoy them, I am concerned that things appear to have veered off topic this evening.
I should be grateful if you would moderate your heart out and get back onto that generous, selfless, empathetic fantastic cook that is Jack Monroe, forthwith and henceforth.
With thanks

Thank you for taking the time to stop yourself being dragged into the Jack world, you did that clearly and I am sorry you had to share all of that, I am sure we all respect that massively. Sorry for your struggles. You have been through some tough times, and I wish you, and your family well.Hi all,
Hattie Gladwell here. I didn't think I'd ever find myself responding on Tattle. Not because I don't think that what people have to say on here isn't valid, but because I have seen myself dragged into these threads about Jack many times, and after the comments about debt I wanted to finally respond.
I've seen various comments on here that I just wanted to clear up.
Yes I am a writer, yes I am in debt. Yes I have bipolar disorder, and yes I spent my savings during a manic episode, but am now, and have been for a long time, stable, with the help of a psychiatrist and medication.
I don't have IBS — I have ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease. In 2015, when I was 19, my bowel perforated and I was given a stoma bag. I was 20 minutes from death, and so it's very hurtful to read comments mocking my bowel issues in past threads.
Yes I got my 'dream job' at 19. That is correct. It was after I spent 10 months writing about inflammatory bowel disease. I was very lucky.
Unfortunately, I was in a very bad relationship for a long time, and a lot of my debt came from there. I don't want to go into that any further.
I asked for help on Twitter — but I didn't ask for financial help. I asked if anyone had any work going because I was desperate (yes, desperate, not just a bit short). I have been working non-stop and thankfully have managed to pay some of it off.
I also have a one-year-old, and was diagnosed with postnatal depression, and so during this time more debt had mounted up due to my partner losing his job while I was on maternity pay. I have been supporting a family of three for the past six months.
I'm not a bad person — nor have I taken money from strangers. But right now I'm trying to be a good mum through a lot of struggle, and I'd appreciate not being dragged into the issues with Jack.
Thank you for hearing me out.
Your screenshot button is gathering a lot of dust right now...Pocahontas isn’t the only mod, just something to keep in mind. If attention needs drawing to something urgently probably best to report.
On topic whoever is keeping Jack away from her main twitter, good job well done.
My thumbs are having a lovely break. They’re on holiday. https://giphy.com/nCGMqErk8rLdSYour screenshot button is gathering a lot of dust right now...
She’s “our” one thoughPocahontas isn’t the only mod, just something to keep in mind. If attention needs drawing to something urgently probably best to report.

God it must be like when you're out drinking and one of your mates is absolutely ridiculous and the bar staff decide that you're responsible for them. We don't deserve PocahontasShe’s “our” one though
