Jack Monroe #323 Two mini breaks in two months, what in the Budget Jones's Diary is going on?

Wouldn’t have said many of the people watching her are in black tie from the looks of this photo

 

[kachoochoo]

on the one hand, I want to think that jack's not seriously done a long train journey, followed by an event in such grubby clothes and is just doing her usual lying to up the poor vibe

on the other hand, it's jack and she's just... grubby

She also said volunteers every week at her local food bank but doesn’t like to broadcast it

On top of working 120 hours a week?

That was an interview this afternoon. She's at an awards thing now.

 

[10to2]

She said during the talk that she works 120 hour weeks, hasn't had any time off this year and then talked about how her partner (not OH, partner) whisks her away every 8 weeks for an enforced no-phone break.

The rage. Works 120 hour weeks. Wanking into the ether on Twitter is NOT WORK. I can’t.

 

[Whaa?]

The dress code (found online) says dress to impress.

eta Even if Jack did not specifically note the dress code, she would be aware she was going to an awards dinner, yes?

I see candles on the tables, hmmm, I wonder if there might be an *cough sausage * * cough grease* opportunity here for an artisan kitchen table entrepreneur?

Yeah, withholding charity donations and tax for years on end, really helps, not!

One of the groups up for an award.
I'm sure most of us would feel awkward in a slept in T shirt but wee Jock McRoe just wants to be a maverick!

She went there with Oxfam in 2014.

The only thing she respects is other peoples money.

FTFY

This scores high on the partridge scale

She also said today that she’s raised over £1m for Trussell Trust. Is that verified anywhere?

Lmao

Has she duck

Telling others to donate isn't fundraising

 

[Captainmouse]

You just know she’s the kind of weirdo to try and cook slop in a coffee maker or something insane like that.

Noodles in the kettle.

 

[Helatruralhome]

She went there with Oxfam in 2014.

So technically Jack used charity money to go on holiday work trip?

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

This makes me think of the late night commercials from the 90s.

“Single and feeling lonely? Call Pumble chat now. Hundreds of Pumbles are waiting for your call.”
Pumble: *reclining on bed* I just got out the oven and I’m waiting for someone to gobble me down and declare me the best ever.
“Call Pumble Chat on 0891 34 19 34 to chat to a genuine sexy Pumble right now. Only 20p per portion.”

Pure genius

Am grunking but hoping Jack has behaved herself up here. Else I'll send a pumble her way.
