Re the 5 week delay, I think she may have ret-conned that in as it is now standard, but yours right, pre-UC things were sometimes slower than ideal but it wasn't baked in like it is now.
Yes, that's exactly what she's done, because the story is largely fiction it grows arms and legs. I shall be not be surprised if we get a story about how she kicked a clerk at her local labour exchange after he denied her claim for national assistance at some point.

What happened to little Harry, that was only 10 years ago? So many pets lost but so much crap held onto 😪
She acquired two kittens, Harry (as in Harriet Harmann) and Millie (as in Milliband - it was her hardcore Labour phase), in October 2012.

They were both gone by summer 2013.

Where does vacuuming twice a day fit in with being so traumatised by The Poverty that you're chronically afraid to use any electricity? And where do you find the time whilst single handedly saving the world?

(Do I want to know what a tampon pineapple is? 😱)

Has anyone claimed the Nintendo Switch? If that's gone, I'll take anything not covered by a film of grease.

Ha! Jokes on you. It's Jack's policy never to sell gifts unless they're Omega Seamasters. The Emin was a gift from a mate and you can't have it.

I wonder if she will sell that laptop she had before she sold absolutely everything, but somehow still owns?

I'll put a pair of Marigolds on. Make a solution of soda crystals and hot water. That should deal with the grease on the artificial string of pearls plant..🧤

I wanted to answer the eternal question: how many times has Jack Monroe moved house?

In doing so, I also found that the crappy bungalow may, in fact, not be the first place that Jack considers to truly be a home...

October 2011: Jack breaks up with her partner & moves out into "executive luxury apartment"

(can't find receipt right now, sorry)

October 2012: Jack moves into the flat with the mirrored tiles in the kitchen, seen in many early Poverty news stories

MAY 2013: Jack is moving into a shared house

JULY 2013: Jack has moved

(Incidentally, I know some Frauen believe that Jack moved back home at this time. I read some of her blog comments that indicate that she didn't, but I can't find them right now. She could be lying, but I'll assume she isn't. For once.)

OCTOBER 2013: Jack has moved out and is now living with the Mrs Jack of the day

Interlude: in December 2013, she has a guitar that has moved house with her 12 times. Didn't sell that, then?

We have a lack of info now. We know she moved in with Allegra in mid-2014, breaking up with the previous Mrs J some time before then.

SUMMER 2015: Jack breaks up with Allegra and moves into a flat, her "ideal home"

She is slow to decorate it.

She eventually acquires a bed.

She proceeds to trash the place.

Still there in 2017...

Trashing continues for some time.

JUNE 2018: Jack moves into a bungalow (not the crappy bungalow). It's "perfect" and "feels like home", unlike her last two dream homes

View attachment 1116250


She seems to really like it.

FEBRUARY 2019: the crappy bungalow

View attachment 1116253

In conclusion:

1) Flat with partner
2) Executive luxury apartment
3) Mirror kitchen
4) House share
5) Flat with then-fiancée

??????? (she must have moved home 15+ times in 2014, according to her own moving stats)

6) Allegra's home
7) Flat
8) House
9) Bungalow
10) crappy bungalow

I need a new hobby 🙃
