“I have no budget” - maybe, “I have no money”, more likely, “I have no limit to what I will spend but I’m not telling you”.

Ran here as soon as I saw the rug threat. Will she really do it, cabal? WILL SHE REALLY DO IT?! Surely not. Imagine the dust, dirt and debris in there

Fucking hell. Complaining about too much pantry space. What’s next? Diamond shoes too tight? Isn’t the point of her recipes that they can be done by poor people with minimal equipment…. Haha never mind, that went out the window long ago.
Forget Celeb Come Dine with Me. She needs to get on Celeb Hoarders.

On the one hand, she's always read recipe books as though they're novels, and on the other, she didn't know what soffritto is until 2017, and seems to be under the impression it's meant to come in the form of a paste. https://cookingonabootstrap.com/2017/01/04/soffritto-19p/
(I included the 2nd paragraph here simply because she describes herself as a "maverick" in it).

Ffs. My draining board is to the left. It has been for 5 years.
You live with it. Unless you have a millionty pounds to have a perfect fecking kitchen designed for you, you live with what you have.
Piss off.

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."

When mithering about FA why on earth would she want to stay in that rental when she’s been robbed twice and had to make a panic room on a budget for fear of us bothering her…… then clocked that in order to rent somewhere she’ll need proof of income. For self employed people that’s filed company accounts 
she literally cannot move even if she wanted to, this tax chaos just keeps getting worse.

I’m glad she emphasised “YOUR time and money”. If she’d have said “OUR time and money” I may have broken my twitter silence and had to become a former frau.
How dare she give 2 shits about what tax is being spent on when SHE ISNT FUCKING PAYING IT!!!!
She’s a twunt of the highest order.

imagine how relieved all LJC's friends were when they realised they were no longer obligated to invite jack to parties. Give her one wrong look and you might end up being the villain in an anecdote on her blog in 5 year's time!

I see she's also been made head of factual stuff on CH4. She loves facts! Maybe that's why she leftMeanwhile, LJC's insta story is her in her 'Happy Place'. She's only at a bloody Mary Poppins show with someone who's NOT JACK
