I know she squanders money like it’s going out of style, and I’ve been around for a while too, but my mind is TRULY BLOWN that she’s spaffed

£428 on fancy knobs (and counting)
£250 at least on magnetic Allegra spice jars
£315 at least (assuming there are only 7 but I think it’s more) on snake charmer kitchen baskets

That is £993 of other people’s money on completely unnecessary superfluous shite.

Though I’m sure she’ll argue that she buys that stuff with her money ‘earned’ from her ‘job’ (and spaffs the Patreon and PayPal cash on Cotswold sideboards, expensive ‘investment’ clothing and accessories, Botox and filler)

And the 77 lipsticks she bragged about having, including three from Chanel. The Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes etc.

Makes you think...

 

[Hold my beans]

All those baskets! If the bungalow is really cold and damp they'll be mouldy and stinking.

 

[MooBelle]

So if the drawers are all full of rusty spoons, knobs and cocks at least we now know why she needs so many bleeping matching baskets on the top of every cupboard, dresser and set of shelves in every room. They’re to store all the tit that should be in the drawers.

(Those dozens of stupid matching baskets of a different style in every room are truly, truly my aneurysm. My favourite ones are the snake charming 45 quid ones from JL. Of which she has at least 7 or 8 if I remember correctly)

Spoiler: Aneurysm

Thank(space)you for letting me get that off my chest (without your consent).

PS the fire-hazard-makes-my-teeth-itch clutter to which the baskets contribute is also my aneurysm,
View attachment 1611223
but just to be clear, the baskets themselves are my main aneurysm

Those are the fugly curtains she moved to the stair window!
Actually, they're not fugly, they're just plain horrible.

Surely we are only a week away from hearing schoolchildren in an argument “yer ma’s roasties are dire and yer dads a Leninist royalist who writes letters to the local paper”

Talking of reputation, her oft used as a threat lawyer has reputation management as one of his specialisms. Wonder if she'll use some patreon pennies to make use of his services?

Apparently he posted it in a fugue state or something.

Staggering. Unlike Jack Monroe I’ll happily admit to being reasonably well-off and am not ashamed of admitting to being middle-class. Let me *check notes*:

My total spend on doorknobs in the last two decades: £0
My total spend on spice jars in the last two decades: £0
My total spend on Cotswold style expensive furniture in the last two decades:
£0

Jack clearly has a spending/hoarding problem.

Shabby little lean to? Is she referring to her million pound 3 bed dormer?

Tbf to her the nearly million pound, detached, 3 bed, 2 bath house does have 3 outbuildings that you could refer to as a 'lean to'.

Can the make up truly be described as “unnecessary” and “superfluous” though, when it’s used to create such artistry as

Spoiler: This?

 

[DinosaurSenior]

I wonder if she thinks all of her "followers" will follow her to Instagram? I doubt it.

I wonder if she thinks all of her "followers" will follow her to Instagram? I doubt it.

I bet she's hoping not too many do lest the chaos continue on insta...

 

[MediaMonkey]

Poor Jack wondering why journalists are suddenly heading to insta for cheap grub tips.

 

[Cucumberthunder]

According to my son's nursery diary, today he did "spaghetti hoop play".... Jack's new career?

 

[ScarlettOHaha]

That's likely because two of those addictions are real, and the other...

But also you cannot admit to a shopping addiction when you’re larping as a pauper.

 

[overdueanadventure]

this annoys me more than anything else. But it’s also the most telling; the most accurate branding (based on intended place in discourse, anyway) would be “shoestringcook”, and #onashoestring. But somewhere along the line, her ego got involved and she couldn’t resist centring herself in her brand - so the idea that she “pulled herself up by the bootstraps” (which as a phrase is one that plays into the idea that hard work is all that’s required to get out of poverty) got mixed in there so that her brand becomes more about how great she is as an individual, rather than how to do things on a shoestring

Also, I read that the phrase to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" actually started out to mean an impossible feat - Huffington article here https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/en...ootstraps-nonsense_n_5b1ed024e4b0bbb7a0e037d4 - its meaning morphed over time into this idea of succeeding through your own efforts (sorry, Jack's family/Sb's dad, you don't exist in this).

I’m guessing those poor snakes in the kitchen ones aren’t doing too well…

Jack clearly has a spending/hoarding problem.

I got a nice but battered cabinet on Ebay for a tenner, painted it (about £8 for small tin of paint) and bought a lovely painted ceramic knob from ebay from one of these types of places
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/33422482...tzr21/bK2F+yQaYgkY8wAU5l4m|tkp:Bk9SR6LJxdDwYA for about £3. It looks great and didn't cost a fortune. Jack could maybe take note?
AND I never considered any of this anything but a 'luxury'.

Dogs have Instagram accounts?
Bloody hell, someone should have told me.
I'm joining immediately

My son's dog has more followers on Instagram than I do.

Let's keep a running total (I'm BORED):

£428 on fancy knobs (and counting)
£250 at least on magnetic Allegra spice jars
£315 at least (assuming there are only 7 but I think it’s more) on snake charmer kitchen baskets
£95 on Abigail Aherne grey hare table lamp
£72 on antique bird of paradise porcelain door knobs and finger plates (bedroom door)
(+£432 if she's done the other say 6 internal doors as well)
£400 on Cotswold Company sideboard (living room, blue)
£229 on Cotswold Company tallboy (bedroom, ivory)
£800 on 2 other Cotswold Company sideboards? (does she have 3 in total?)
Total: £2,589

How much would 77 lipsticks be?
I don't think it's necessarily fair to pick on Jack for every item she owns but anything spenny is fair game imo

Jack Monroe #382 Any thicker she’d set (unlike her white sauce)

Maybe she's allergic to Content? She's definitely been more nasally since she got her. Can't think of any other legal reasons.... Allergic to content Allergic to the truth She just can't catch a break

Jack Monroe #385 Just admit you're full of loathing and misdirected ire

The shag tweets are somehow worse a week later… 🤢
