100% agree. I still think there is a sneaky sponsor going on there, it's the one shop she consistently mentions from the beginnings of poverty girl.
Lets not forget her £35 two headed Hallowe'en dog! (All those seed packets were Wilko ones too.)

Political commentary Jack 
Ironing is a pain, but my granny used to iron clothes in a factory for shops,so she passed on her fussiness about it on to my mum, my mum moans something shocking if you even attempt to go our with something not ironed. It's not worth the earache so from about the age 12 I have ironed most things
Or perhaps it's because if they were all released at once there'd be a week of outrage but he would survive as it's just one week and people have short memories. The drip feed is to keep it in the public eye? Either way, someone is trying to bury Boris and that much is obvious. If they wanted to cover it up they simply wouldn't have leaked any of it?! #ALevelPoliticsMonroe
tit by degrees is probably a good measurement scale for your reaction to eating a Monroe recipe... with the highest degree being Listeriosis after a salad bag pesto dinner.
OH MY GOD HER LATEST POST!!! This is what she calls decluttering??
That cutlery 
Want some tetanus with your slop?

I’d dearly love to know how much she paid for that lot.
Whatever it was, she was robbed.I’d dearly love to know how much she paid for that lot.
At least she's got the appropriate implement to eat her mercury-riddled tinned fish. God forbid in this time of struggle that she's without a fish knife.
Can we just briefly go back to the pizzaiolo who 'snuck across the border'? She has no idea of how offensive and clueless she is.
If Mr Pizza Express hired the chef from Naples in 1965 there would have been no freedom of movement and the pizza maker would have needed a work permit. This is not an argument for the EU, as it clearly shows that moving for work is possible and has always been possible without the EU.
To suggest that anyone 'snuck across a border' is pretty offensive to someone who legally immigrated.
I'm an immigrant myself and I'm pro-immigration, but to suggest that all immigrants are the same is false. Asylum seekers have different needs and rights to immigrants from the EU. They again have different needs and rights to immigrants from outside the EU (though obvs not after Brexit). There is also a proportion of people who enter countries illegally, sometimes for nefarious purposes. To suggest all Brexit-voters voted for it because they hate foreigners is not true (though I do think it sadly played a role in some people's vote). It's simplified nonsense to rile up the masses and feel like you are on the right side of history. However, with her heartwarming pizza story she plays right into the 'good immigrant' trope. "Look this lovely pizza maker from Naples only came here so we Brits could eat delicious pizza. See how he's enriched our lives! Isn't it wonderful."

But surely she's already explained she didn't pay for more than couple of boxes, the rest was given to her?
Because of course, the cost of sending two canteens of cutlery is exactly the same as the cost of sending seventeen boxes. Even humble eBay sellers love paying people to take their stuff.
Should actually put a spoiler on it, don't want to trigger him.
She did, I misread - of course the postage would have been minimal - it was exceptionally generous. I’m humbled.
Does anyone else find the front cover slightly threatening?
Puddles!
Why the hell does she need MORE cutlery? Honestly, one set would do the job, even for purposes of her work.
ETA I honestly think her money issues are largely driven by compulsive shopping habits. That house is full to the brim.
