Imagine being jacks accountant. Sounds like she’s implying that a vest is somehow a business purchase?! By jack logic, I tweeted = I did some work. I wonder if the performative £20 shops are done so she can claim her weekly shopping is a business expense

Won’t use clubcards to give Mr Evil Tesco her data (missing out on money off promotions and vouchers) but will happily sign up to Asda with her email address for all receipts

How very interesting - he's managed to scrub google search so that his name brings up no returns. What an absolute psycho. Hope he gets what's coming to him.

No need to worry about sun burn today far canals, there's some delicious shade just here

I love Trifle Defender so much. 10/10 Would send cashos.

Back to yesterday, Jack must be bleeping insufferable to serve at Asda.
Can you imagine that looming over you making sure you’re making out the receipt ‘properly’ and staring you dead in the face like

Fully expecting you to leap from your chair and cry “By gord! As I live and breathe! It’s only the famous Jack Mon-bloody-roe!”

Moo cheese? Why does she speak like such a child.

The Laurie Penny thing, this is the individual that apparently looks just like Jack, behaves similarly to Jack and people confuse them with one another... It would be Peak Jack to fancy someone that is a complete reflection of herself, no?

I had no idea who LP was so went to Google and spotted her Wiki. Interestingly, she too has PTSD (although hers is CPTSD) - did Jack claim to have this before she met this woman? Or was it never mentioned until afterwards? #genuinequestion

They do look somewhat alike, although LP is slightly "better looking" (IMHO), so I can understand them being mistaken for one another ~from a distance~
LP is a "proper" writer though, with award nominations and stuff - something that could make a not-so-successful and definitely NOT THAT FAMOUS writer jealous. That's the extent of my knowledge and I'll stop there, or I'll end up down another twatter-style rabbit hole!

Jack is a bit like Hunch: they both think they're so famous that everyone knows them, yet nobody outside their niches has even heard of them.

The smile that never reaches the eyes, the dead shark stare, the death breath and vague whiff of sulphur and human misery.

Oh nooo!!!!! The biggest luxury in my life is to listen to the Archers whilst having a bath. If I have to leap out to change the station i will never get over it .

She obviously groups things together on the conveyor belt and makes the cashier ring up the sub total after each group of items has been scanned. No way the cashier did that herself. I bet she's spends ages faffing around at the checkout driving everyone in the queue nuts.

SB, who is now 12, no longer has agency over his own decisions because she sneakily pours UHT into a glass milk bottle?

I won't bother picking apart the rest of the tweet.

Looks like last night's UHT tweet was deleted:

Bet she doesn't do that. Bet she's still bang on the Milk&More orders

Lurker here! Always check in on the threads but they move waaaay to quickly for me to keep up! Can anyone tell me what this was about? She comes across as so unlikeable it’s unreal

BTW who the duck does a 5-step shopping list without a meal plan? She's planning to batch cook this weekend, but has no idea what she's batch cooking? Train the dog to do the groceries, Jack, she'll do a better job than you!

Back of the net!
Batch cooked spicy spite spinach with a side order of banana bitterness and resentment radish. Petulance pears to follow. Fennel and fish finger fury next week served with mendacious mash (obvs).

Laurie’s CPTSD was bought on by someone taking the piss out of her in a review of her book.

LP is also a lesbian who is married to a man.

Lol at her comment she doesn't have a meal plan yet. She wants congratulations for doing a shop for less than £20 with no plan or thought to how practical that shop will be for the purpose of actually making meals ? I mean she may as well just buy £20 worth of wagon wheels ! Great going hope that's a tip in the new book

She also mentioned using the milk man (perhaps using is the wrong word... poor man) so THAT cost also needs to be added in to her cheapo budgeto!
Blimey, by the time she's added in the milk man, Tesco, late night Tesco Express rescues, dog food, cat food/litter, toiletries etc, her weekly shop must be nearer £100 than it is to £20!

They sound like they'd make a perfectly awful couple

A bit late to the party, but going back to the tattoos - I'm sure I saw a cotton reel in one photo. I think on the back of her arm, so you don't see it very often. It stuck in my memory because I remember wondering why on earth someone would get a tattoo of a cotton reel! But maybe there's some hidden symbolism, and I'm about to be enlightened by more knowledgeable Frauen.

More than likely she flipped thru the book and said, that one, that one, and that one
