Her spreadsheet is broken. Send HouseosI am glad someone mentioned Pat's food and Thrifty Lesley - so many better examples of meal planning put there. Plus I think Pat runs a Facebook group for frugal eating which is really helpful and supportive for people who find themselves in the tit.
I just don't get why people pat her on the back for this crap. Setup a spread sheet which would allow you to type in the weight of an ingredient and it would give you the calories, the cost, the percentage of five a day etc. It would take about an hour given she only really uses ten bleeping ingredients over and over anyway. Then you can put in any recipe you want and get the numbers in 2 nanoseconds.
Stop poring over a stupid piece of paper with a pen pretending it is 10 hours work blah, blah, blah. You do this manually but you honestly think you can work out a new index of inflation? WHAT bleeping PLANET ARE YOU ON?
She is getting on my every last nerve

Well, this is awkward.
Tbf I don't think she's ever done Channel 5.
Her environment credentials are really crap, and the Food Programme pretends it cares about the environment. I try to cut down on red meat and dairy and foods brought here by plane. Not always very successfully but if I had a platform of half a million I would not be recommending bollocky pork. And she's still getting income from the veganish book.
This is where Jack's food snobbery comes into play. Many British people grew up on a bread and potato based diet, and it still works well.
Same and it’s what bought me here. TP’s writing about why it’s so expensive to be poor is a brilliant piece of writing and the fact she’s jumped on to that and being lauded as much as him for not having done anything gives me such rage
Because the people admiring this do not need to constantly count their pennies. They can buy what they like. This is poverty tourism & makes me furious.
Absolutely this, the Jackolytes do not even have the alleged memory span of goldfishes and cannot remember that Jack was tied to the hellhouse by the evil landlady but was planning to escape the second the contract expired.
Food doesn’t even work with Vimes boots, it doesn’t matter if you shop at Fortnum and Maison or Lidl, rich or poor you still need to replace consumed food at the same rate.
I’m really weird about textures etc in food and the thing that makes me gag at Jacks menu (and her food in general) is that NOTHING IS SEPARATE! A cheap dinner for my family is something like cheesy jackets, veggie sausages & beans- 3 separate things, not all bunged together in a stew or stroganoff or soup. I rarely eat pasta dishes or stews etc because I feel like every mouthful is the same! But apart from the occasional pie ALL of jacks meals are like that!
That squig has 20/20 visionSorry to SS this horrid stuff so early in the morning. Once again she fails to put a TW to warn about either issue.
Tiny little tangerine or satsuma. Skin is easy to get off. Out of season now.
Is there any indication she will be on Lorraine or has the “7 years in the making, gig of a lifetime” been softly, softly forgotten about?
Also. If we have this plan that is in equal parts upsetting and infuriating, the least she could do is provide an up-to-date one with pictures each day so we can console ourselves that we don’t have to eat what she is producing each day.*
* she doesn’t eat it either in all honesty. She pretends she eats 30g of cereal and 67ml of milk but actually she is probably having a hazelnut double shot latte and fruit toast with extra jam from Starbucks.

Literally never mentioned James Martin before in her life.
She obviously doesn’t use that meal plan in the slightest. Her real weekly planner looks more like this.
Monday: lie in. Twitter all day
. Check for old spoons on eBay?

Tattle GrunkAll the other bridges are burning dearheart.
Do you remember a while back when Jack got into sea shanties, about six months after the rest of the world as usual.
She was “sick” the R4 day?? Is that what the yoof are calling j1g these days?
She wasn’t sick, she tweeted every brain fart on the Queen t-shirt day, and the pictures show she wasn’t unwell. Also, if she was so unwell, why would she have had someone in her house for hours potentially passing this alleged sickness on? Jack, anyone who has ever listened to you knows you always sounds nasal and phlegm-ridden. Sick, my arse!

Not Philippa Perry 
Fuxache,
Fuxache,
There is no way that pathetic meal planner fuels any yomps.
Sorry, not sure if we got these screenshots?
Legacy benefits? Completed it mate!
She doesn't even follow this person -
SB with his dad a third of the time.
Phenomenal
No mention of her on Lorraine again.
Morning!
