Thanks so much. Its nice to have somewhere to go to forget and remind myself our jacks woes are incomparable to everyone elses x
Thanks so much. Its nice to have somewhere to go to forget and remind myself our jacks woes are incomparable to everyone elses xWhat a completely awful time for you and your family. Glad you are here and you can join in. Sending lots of love to you.
Oh you poor thing, what a time. Much love to you and yours. xxFinally, I've made it.
I don't know how to do a trigger warning so apologies & if someone can explain then I'll pop it on.
So, the last 10 days have been shite.
I've had an early miscarriage - I was told no more children. Its been a shock.
My cousin (who in really close to) has been in icu, she has organ failure due to pre-eclampsia and her baby girl died at 31 weeks.
My mum has suddenly been diagnosed with type 1 diab and non alcoholic liver disease.
Stress has triggered a flare up & I have zero spoons.
But obviously I'm no where near as tragic as our Jack.
I saw the kitten update & the hell and roundup and I don't even have words.
The thread that must not be named (cut short, mystery cross posters) had me intruiged.
Jack turning up had my cringing inside out.
You can take co-codamol with tramadol (I do)
My head I'd about ready to spontaneously combust.
Love all you trolls.
Sorry for the disjointed post - I'm bleeding knackered
the horse sp*nk (can't bring myself to type it!) fiasco is so much funnier the second time round, I've hooted with every comment"normally I would brush it [the white sauce] on"
BRUSH ON THE SAUCE?
YOU'RE JOKING. I thought she'd last longer. Shit I don't have time to keep up with it all!!Oh god now meldrum’s reactivated her account I might as well hand my notice in or I’ll be Grunking 24/7
This thread is good for that. Plenty of comedy here, but also compassion, sharing - and pretty bloody good detective workThanks so much. Its nice to have somewhere to go to forget and remind myself our jacks woes are incomparable to everyone elses x
Are they going to reopen her thread now that she is backYOU'RE JOKING. I thought she'd last longer. Shit I don't have time to keep up with it all!!
Goodness, that really is a shit time. I'm so sorry you're going through so much right now. I hope the cabal can offer you some light relief at times, and support when needed. We are the nicest bunch of awful beefy faced bitches. Sending love xFinally, I've made it.

I'm pleased you have slept better since Christmas. I hope you feel better now since then.
I have a special weakness for the This Morning segment and the sad looking salmon and peas pasta dish. It was Eamon's grim taking one for the team expression as he forced down a forkful. Also Jack's If you wanna be fancy, and Ruth's you can taste the salmon.This Morning’s raw pasta segment. That was a special day.
I'm one pay check to being in the shit. Most of my friends are too. I guess a lot of the country are as well. I've not got the luxury to pay myself the minimum wage and bank the rest as I can't live on the minimum wage. I live on my salary which is a little higher than MW and I live frugally (no rinsed beans) but I've nothing else to save. Jack could've come on here and shut down this thread with a few Q&ADid some more research into her name out of curiosity, to my knowledge she’s used four names: Jack Monroe, Jack Xatzinikolas, Melissa Hadjicostas, Jack Hadjicostas. More combinations are possible but those are the ones she has definitely used. I’ve defended her in the past for changing her name to Jack Monroe but using FOUR names is a bit odd. Anyway, while Googling I found this Tweet:

Dead link but Edwina Currie saw through Jack’s shit years ago. Of course, all the comments are Jack’s fans defending her without question. I don’t agree with Edwina using JM’s granddad’s obituary to call her out - not at all. But I’m guessing in 2014 she wasn’t spending thousands on unnecessary home decor so her story was more believable. It’s understandable her fans would reason that a wealthy grandfather didn’t necessarily mean Jack couldn’t and didn’t fall into poverty herself. I get it. What I don’t understand is how 6 years and several book deals, rich partners, and other paid ventures later (plus endless expensive shit!) she still has fans convinced she’s almost perilously close to living on the breadline

Ever kicked a man’s shin on a train?I know covid has reshaped our commutes, but following nearly a decade of daily commuting & a lifetime of tfl, I can't believe that I have never:
Feel thoroughly undesirable tbh
- Fallen under a train
- Been locked on a train
- Been told white trash shouldn't breed whilst on (or disembarking?) a train
But have you ever kicked a man in the shin on your uneventful train journeys?!I know covid has reshaped our commutes, but following nearly a decade of daily commuting & a lifetime of tfl, I can't believe that I have never:
