I know. And on one of the posts her mum has asked her not to sell her camera.
Imagine her parents knowing she was this close to complete and utter poverty and their priority was for her not to sell a camera.
it’s almost unbelievable…

Because they knew it was histrionic bullshit (and probably had a lot to do with her spending too much money on crap, booze and spliff).

Because middle class people think being on a key meter is the worst thing ever. You see this all the time on mumsnet. Absolute rubbish. They're the ones crying now because their DDs have doubled . I'm putting pretty much the same on my key as I was this time last year. So thankful I kept my key meter, even though I paid my debt off many years ago.
Me too. I feel like I have a modicum of control.

Why does her rent always fall behind surely she should pay that the. Find the rest for everything else. My mum always told me roof First then pay the rest.

Sounds to me like she needs Somone to sort her money and give her an allowance.

Jack Monroe's recycled recipes. Ah the brass balls on her, putting out a book using old recipes from her website. Do we think some of them going offline was calculated? In the sense of her having to have them be 'exclusive' to this book?

She's so shady.

Hmm we may be past the point of doing this analogue. We need some sort of productivity software so we can keep track of the different years and multiple stories. Then we can hire a project manager to oversee and collate the info, and get a custom database made so we can cross reference the LIES upon LIES.
Nooooo!

Big A3 timeline all the way. Oldskool.

One colour for housing. One colour for job. One colour for relationships.

Highlight the changes.

Easy. Teachers know. 😏

Those house sale posts are so telling! Cheers for digging them up Coloured-Lines.

It was like a happy, fun circus to her, and she had bread too (is that the stupid circus saying she uses lol). It's more like she was moving house and getting rid of tit she didn't want to take with her.

Jack Monroe' ten years a grifter.

Wow @colouredlines , that Facebook find is spectacular. The very very first grift.

@Orphan_Black your Facebook find was great too, really good evidence against the poverty claims.
I‘ve seen some bizarre stuff on FB but Jacks Jolly Little Sale is way up there. A casual reader would think she was emigrating until they saw the posts about debt. Why didn’t she go to Citizens Advice, get a prepay meter in and quietly sell some tat until her benefits were restarted? It’s what anyone with a lick of sense would do.
The answer has to be, she didn’t want to. She wanted the three ring circus.

So. The famous Open House Sale.

View attachment 1302106

As we all know, Jack sold all her tit and made 3 grand.

3 grand is a lot of 20£ coffee tables, no? Luckily Jack had more specialist items to sell...

(A Frau with more knowledge of when UK festival tickets go on sale can take a look at that one!)

Even more luckily, Jack discovered that the world is full of idiots eager to part with their money:

Is this the first squig? The protosquig?

Jack was keen to get involved with this idea:

...and a monster is born!

Some people tried to offer other kinds of help, but Jack was havig none of it:

Send cashos, not adviceos:

This was also the start of Jack's media career:

Being on local media and with a history of being stalked, Jack showed her usual caution:

View attachment 1302108

(I squiggled the address just in case one of her more rabid fans tries to set up a blue plaque.)

She sold EVERYTHING (except her laptop, camera, that Monsoon dress she was going to put on eBay last year, the fancy dress she wore to the awards the following month, the heart apron she wore in 2013 publicity shots...and her Filofax):


View attachment 1302112

So the essential question: where did the money go? As we know from previous deep dives, she didn't move for another couple of months afterwards until she found a flat that was both bigger and marginally cheaper.

Some of it went to her doomed crafting business...

View attachment 1302141

...and, interestingly, she claims to have donated some to charity (citation needed).

View attachment 1302116

Just gonna finish by saying that if I were so desperate I had to sell EVERYTHING, up to and including my son's toy dinosaur, to survive - and if I were worried I'd soon end up in the same situation again - charitable donation of other people's money would not be a top priority. Unless I were trying to create an image, of course...
Maybe I'm reading the tone wrong but she seems... excited? to be selling all of her and her sons stuff

Roll up, roll up, and pay attention to Jack.

LJC, she must have got one of her first real narc highs that day. A proper crossroads moment, and she chose the road of the lying grifter. Even inviting the local paper, her employers no less, to come photograph the 'traumatic' event.

Her parents should have shut that tit down right there and then.

@colouredlines you are beyond #forensic!

Agree with others, this was clearly a big performance and she turned the drama dial up by involving the media how she did, presumably using her connections. I know my local paper/radio wouldn't give a shiny tit if I sold my crap. Likely was a 'look what you've made me do' middle finger up to ma and pa H.

Interesting at the people offering her money via PayPal already, so this was where she realised she could get free cash huh? 🙄

She wasn't disabled back then either. (Def stole that from her muma and Mr Israel)

This is just a thought, but if she was with the Echo at the time of the festival it might have been free tickets for the newsrooms. If Reach - or Mirror Group - covered Southend, Chelmsford etc, then there would have been quite a few for reporters shared across sites. This used to happen with our regional newsrooms....

Freebies like that are gold dust in offices, they wouldn't be giving it to the glorified blogger. Someone higher up would have snarfed them.

I’m not sure anyone could shut Jack down. She doesn’t seem to do shame or even bog standard embarrassment. Look at her recent Twitter post about failing a tenner a month credit check.
The things most of us would die before admitting Jack quite happily puts on public display. With bunting.
It’s the secret of her success.

She wasn't, the Echo came later. We'll need to get that A3 timeline done up soon...

All SM platforms have an age limit of 13. I know no one pays attention to that and most kids are seasoned pros on SM by the time they are 13, but saying your 12 yo child is actually running your accounts will result in your accounts being suspended.
Kind of sad she realised and didn't leave it up 5 mins longer. To think we could have had a day off lads!
Also that's twice now in a manner of days she has mentioned people in her real life believing the "lies" wrote about her over her own word. I find that really telling!

When was she diagnosed with RA and ADHD (I assume these are the two things she is using for the disability claim)?

(Has she been formally diagnosed with autism, if not she can’t use this can she?)

Sorry to bring up things that are upsetting to many, but when people (in particular kids/parents trying to get EHCPs) are finding it so hard to get formal diagnoses, it really grates that she just plonks an emoji in her bio and tweets and thinks that is a free ride for certain behaviours that in my opinion a) are in no way related to the conditions she mentions and b) are inexcusable.
