Omg, I just remembered her smoothie bowls days! I haven’t dreamed this up, have I? It was during the days I still loved her 🤦‍♀️🤢
There was something so creepy about her smoothie bowls - the captions were always along the lines of "I got up at 4am to make this bowl for Mrs J, complete with a tiny Eiffel Tower built out of chia seeds, while I will be eating a single mouldy nectarine because I am selfless and I love her so much and she will never leave!!!"

Meanwhile Mrs J quickly replaces the poster of Rita Hayworth which she's been using to conceal the entrance of the escape tunnel she's been digging with a rusty spoon and waits for Jack to return with the slop.

I hope you will all be so kind as to let me have the jellycat toast? 🥺 It would make me ridiculously HAPPY.

I want her lever arch files of other people's data so I can burn them and set them all free from this GDPR nightmare

Bone chilling. LJC always seemed to be forced into commenting on the posts or reposting them too, saying how lucky she was. "I'm v v lucky", typed out like a robot on each one 💀

"She's treating me very well and I urge the government to listen to her demands"

Just want to point out that a lot of your moves were due to relationship breakdowns or your own poor choices rather than poverty Jack.
It's also really expensive to move, which directly contradicts the 'moving cos poverty' nonsense.

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


View attachment 1116132

(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.

AUGUST 2016: Jack moves into a house, her "dream home"

View attachment 1116236

She proceeds to trash the place.

Still there in 2017...

Trashing continues for some time.

Can you believe that the picture below is Jack DECLUTTERING?! 🤯

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 🙃
2016 3 Luton vans and 7 estate cars! 😳 I repeat 3 Luton vans and 7 estate cars!

also if the upstairs is so cold, why not sleep downstairs? Lots of rooms to choose from

Disappointed that nobody has asked for the 2019 bedspread yet. I've literally just bought a new set unfortunately, so, form an orderly queue 🙃
It always reminds me of the wolf jacket on the Apprentice ...

Well if Jack is barely receiving any financial reward then I am in long term poverty because my income is less than she's getting from Patreon, nor am I earning interest on any charitable donations resting in my bank account. Therefore send me your cattos, doggos but most of all lovely cashos and please support me by buying my forthcoming "Poorer than Jack Monroe" merch.
