This is a lie that personally annoys me, as I read Jack's proposal for a 'Peasants' Pudding' back in the days before I was on Tattle, and thought she was well-meaning and interesting, and I was going to make her cheaper Jubilee trifle, so I looked properly for the recipe. Nothing but a handwritten scrawl of ingredients and prices (if that).

In the end I found a really good mid-price short-cut alternative that was fancy without taking three days and requiring Masterchef skills, but there is no way anyone made the 'less expensive Jubilee pudding' from Jack's recipe. Absolutely no way.
Yeah, if I were able to reply to her or associated accounts on Twitter, I’d ask for a link for the recipe.

Talking of Twitter, although I do have two accounts (one for me, one for Jack), I’ve never really understood why people think Follow = Love. I follow some people I think are bleeping awful, just to see what they say.

That’s why I was following Jack before she blocked me and I had to start another account. I was following her until I realised on Tattle that she would count that as being interested so I stopped.

ANYWAY, that is my long winded way of saying that I suspect quite a lot of people follow for the chaos, not because they think she is Saint Jack of Pumble.

I’ve been calling my teens mithering ninnies so much that they’ve changed our group WhatsApp chat to “Mithering Ninnies”. Tbf, if they’d let me get a sandwich and take a piss in peace, I wouldn’t use it so often.

As someone who had bust my ass to clear debts/ CCJs that my abusive ex ran up in my name, without my knowledge, and had just started getting my credit score back on track (I’d been debt free and CCJs wiped since Jan 2020) to have it decimated by the council forcing me to wait for Bailiffs when I was evicted (landlady got a CCJ for the court fees alongside the eviction orders - over £1200 in total), the thought of getting a CCJ for such a tiny amount when she has SO MUCH coming in is bleeping mind blowing.

I used to follow Jack when I thought she was a good thing, then she started doing some weird tweets that looked to me at the time like she was bread crumbing the announcement of a drink problem in a very unconvincing way. So naive was I at the time, I felt a bit for thinking that but I still muted her because I felt uncomfortable with it. I was probably following her for years after that without seeing her nonsense.

I am quite sure AM wasn't aware ahead of the offer but that donation is on a credit card. So likely someone who is not able to afford £20 out of their disposable income. Same but different.
I'm not having a go at AM. just shows the mentality of twitterites. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME GUYS. Look after yourself and your family before you get in debt for a stranger on the Internet
Agree, though I have to say, my ex’s parents (I won’t call them in laws, we weren’t married JACK) used to put every single transaction on their credit cards as it was Tesco or Sainsburys or something. It meant every time they spent on it they got points. They paid it in full at the end of the month - not saying this is the same, just offering an alternative view.
I’d like to think this person didn’t get themselves into debt for point scoring. Kind though it is.

So do we think Big Dave sat Jack down and gave her a good telling off today? I'd not be surprised if the dog/sofa thing tipped him over the edge. What a disrespectful bleep she is letting her dog climb all over the sofa when they have specifically said it's a dog free sofa.

I'm predicting we see lots more spiralling this week coming as she'll never accept help, guidance or tough love from her family, so will probably go on a mad one ❄ to "show them all"

They absolutely didn't. They have a good full time job, a successful blog on the side and a really nice lifestyle earned honestly (take note Jack).

I've had a bastardised version of the Proclaimers on my Internal Jukebox for weeks and wish to pass it on:

But Jack has told 400 lies and she will tell 400 more
Quoting myself like an absolute ninny to say I was too bloody stupid modest to put Thread Title Nomination in there, but it's got 54 likes already so can it be considered please?

Had a genuine moment of shock then when I saw you’d changed your profile picture! As long as @Geetbo remains constant I will cope, otherwise I am convinced you all want me to stop breathing 😔
Mine will never change dear heart x

I am back from holiday and grunking.

I see one of the thread titles mentions Jacks fan. I think I am in danger.

I'm glad Jack seems to have cooled her jets today.

In honour of one of Jack's latest mistakes I have temporarily relocated Harold for dear old DCI Burnside.

ETA Unlike Jack's, my Harold has not LEFT forever.

I went through her scrawled balls at the time and she had costed her stuff in a completely different way to her costing of the official recipe: her stuff was to the gram and theirs was by the packet. To the point she costed 20g of white chocolate as 30p on hers and £1 on theirs, the exact same product.

It was still cheaper of course but nowhere the gulf in price Jack wheeled out for head pats.

I have just stumbled across a very odd Twitter account. It only follows Martin Lewis and Jack Monroe, has no followers and has only ever tweeted about Jack and Prince Harry. It's being particularly nasty to a Patreon who is looking for a refund. It seems quite worked up, arrogant and contemptuous towards the squig in question. In my experience seeking to make people feel stupid or malicious for raising a complaint is a silencing tactic. Far be it from me it imply someone might be using an alt to say things they mean but wouldn't dare express on their main account but it really, really makes you think.

It's a ripper, I hope it gets the most votes.
I shan't create sock puppet accounts for extra votes though. I'm busy and important.
