I was bored so had a look at Jack's old account on insta, why does TT trust her when this is how far she's come in a decade?! Her food shop from 2012.

Lots of pics of SB on that account too. She seems a much nicer person back then.

I wonder why she'd want to crush a softy, soft loaf of bread with a bag of apples.

Ah…she’s not even the person I am thinking of - Jaime Murray

Ha, not Jennie Murray? Tim, Pete...

There hasn't been a homebound train chaos yet. Options are:

1. She's still there, lost at conference like an idiotic fly unable to find the doorway she entered by
2. She's still there and is at the very exclusive eaterie Five Guys with her new panel friends explaining how she could make the food better herself with tinned potatoes and grated corned beef
3. Louisa was following the outbound train chaos, rode her bike there at top speed, seized her phone and threw it into the sea
4. The train journey was uneventful

Train chaos with football fans.

Anyone else notice how clean Jack's hands are in the photograph of her holding the lemon opal fruits? If she can wash them to go "to conference" then why can't she wash them when handling food? They look almost as white as mayonnaise.

She trimmed her nails, too. (The thumb nail, at least )

I googled Jack Monroe & ICO to see if I could find any info about the squigs complaint.

No luck.... I did find Jackies new book though....

I did too. Google tried to add the letter N to the search.

Apart from her i do not know a single member of that panel.

 

[kachoochoo]

What on earth is a hybrid cassoulet?

can't even remember. i think it was whatever she put in the slow cooker that time when we had a really hot day in early summer and she got in the hammock saying it was a slow cooking kinda day

Spoiler: More OT on the same subject

Was it The Other Bennett Sister? I really enjoyed that!

it was indeed!

 

[Nonnymouse]

Wait til the sugar rush kicks in..

I hope i'm wrong, I really do.

 

[Emmapism]

How long was the panel discussion?

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

I was typing in Jack Monroe and she wasn’t coming up and now she is.

 

[Eurgh]

How many starburst are there in your house though?

Also, off topic but I can’t hold it in any more opal fruits is a fuken stupid name and starburst is much better, only a dickhead who had no idea or understanding of what an opal looks like would think it would be a good name for purple, red, orange or green cuboid sweets

Plus they always tasted stale.

is jaime winstone available? she's got experience!

What does this mean? Is there goss about her? I always got bad vibes from her Hustle character

I have been helping look after an elderly relative and have spoken to many official people if you put it in writing and leave it with your will papers, then whoever you give power of attorney to when you start to reach old age can start putting it into place.

The money side of things is just bascially their savings accounts but rather than wait till i die they can use it from 18 or whatever. I have also decided that i will keep putting x amount in a month even when they are older therefore they will have something to spend throughout their life rather than a lump sum at the end.

It just means that they will have something for themselves and they wont have to have the worry off looking after me.


There might be a more official way but right now this works for me. Also as i have found out looking after my relative things change over time so its best to have an adaptable plan so it can be changed easily.

Thank you! That's really helpful

I've interacted with Jack in the past also on Twitter. She was tagged in something posted by someone I vaguely know, I replied and she was so incredibly rude. To be honest it's a huge reason why I don't go on Twitter much these days. It was all so unnecessary.

Blocking her was one of the best things I ever did.

Same babe x

Spoiler: wildly off topic but re Lanie's avatar

read a book recently that retells p+p and subsequent events from Mary's pov. Mr Collins comes off surprisingly sympathetically. I can't look at him in a bad light anymore

Spoiler: More OT on the same subject

Was it The Other Bennett Sister? I really enjoyed that!

They are both massive twats but Lily is far, far better looking than Jack and has at least some talent, even if it's only tiny amount.

I think l j rich looks more like mackie than Lilly

I have already put in place that as soon as i get of the age where i am unable to do things on my own, ie, cook, clean up and bath that my children put in into care.

Going off topic here but how did you put that in place? I would like to do something similar
