Jack Monroe #249 Smart Price Custard Denier

Did anyone get a Mr Frosty? I have never met anyone who did but lots of people who desperately wanted one.

Reckon it was all a massive marketing campaign and they never actually made one.

All the poshos who did get one said they were tit

Omg on a grunk but my mum is here and waxing lyrical about Jack. Am pulling my damn hair out as she won’t hear anything against Jack on the basis of that sausage bollocks she did on This Morning. My dad was apparently not impressed so I guess I still have one sound parent? Urgh

Perhaps you should have made the delicious sausage dish as a delightful,cheap and ‘nutritious’ light lunch, that would learn her!

But she doesn't give her supporters anything!!!

Yes, we've always said that it's only the accounts submission that's late. In theory she could have paid her corporation tax and any self-assessment tax due. However, to calculate your corporation tax, you need to have your company accounts done, so if that's the case, you'd think they would have been submitted.


No, Companies House is just for companies Self assessment and corporation tax are both dealt with by HMRC. They're two different entities.

Thank you. Sorry for being ignorant on this. PAYE prevents you (me) needing to know this stuff.

Buying that book for 99p on my kindle and concluding it was the most useless book I'd ever bought at the beginning of the pandemic was when the scales fell from my eyes

Oh FFS..

 

[Flash123]

If she had paid her taxes she would be boasting about it

fuxache mom

 

[Knit one Pearl one]

I'm going to have to unfollow Nigella.

ETA - Have unfollowed.

 

[StringyMango]

Having said that,it's clear that Mom thinks of J as a deserving case.
Don't think Jackie will be getting in Mom's knickers as a result

 

[Ninch55]

I'm going to have to unfollow Nigella.

I bought one of her books on kindle library for 99p but seriously think I’m going to have to delete. Am so astounded that she supports this, is she really so bloody naïve?

 

[MooBelle]

If she had paid her taxes she would be boasting about it

Exactly. There's enough people calling her out on the tax thing. She hasn't once argued back, which would suggest she hasn't paid.

New patreons are already starting to roll in.

Good!
She'll have to do some work for it now or she'll make Nigella look a right bleep.

 

[Marmalade Atkins]

Wtf

 

[Silver Linings]

Jesus. I can’t imagine getting off on being pitied and babied by so many people.

Do you know what you don't buy if you are on a £10/20 a week budget and have to walk home....a 3 litre bottle of oil. Seeing that costing repeatedly in her recipes is driving me bonkers. You just don't spend 15to30% of your budget one week on oil. Because there is no slack to do that. You buy the £1 bottle because it's easier to carry and it's only 5 to 10% of your budget. That's the additional costs of being poor, that's where she could have made a point (albeit one most people know) that the smaller sizes have the worst value for money but that this is how those on fixed incomes have to shop as they just don't have an extra £2 to bulk buy. Plus carrying a bottle that weighs 3kg plus all your sacks of rice and tins of pre-rinsed beans is just so much weight.

The best recipe books for people on a budget who are new or unconfident cooks are those which set out a weekly menu and shopping list so that you buy what you need and use what you buy. A lot of us seem to do it anyway, eg batch cook mince and use some for bolognese and some for a cottage pie etc. Not "Oh I had a tin of pineapple and a tin of coconut milk so I made this bread which requires yeast and SR flour plus an hour in the oven".

I'm holding back my views on dried mixed herbs. (They are the floor rice of the herb world)

I got one and can reveal that only thing worse than not getting Mr Frosty was the soul crushing disappointment of finding out first hand how tit it was.

Can confirm, the light has just gone out of my eyes at the memory.
