I'm in the hairdresser reading "Closer" magazine. There's an 8 page Miguel Barclay feature, with thrifty tips and cheap recipes...

Here's a great explainer - and insight into why contrepreneurs write books to establish authority ("bestselling author XXXXX") in their chosen market as part of a long con:
Poor Jack chased out of her own niche by THOSE MEN.
It actually correlated with a Twitter beg for…her rent. Conveniently payable either via monthly Patreon or paying into the tip jar.
Or strictly speaking it coincided with a tip jar rattle and Patreon beg and aggressively arguing with strangers online and claiming to be unable to afford her rent. (Screenies below from the wiki)
Who was the brilliant person with the brilliant info several threads ago who advised re digging your nails into a soft bar of soap before gardening or dirty activities? The soap fills behind the nails and scrubs out easily. THANKYOU WITH NO SPACE. I now do it all the time, it's fabulous. I hope Jack will adopt the tip soon.
So here's my Thrifty Kitchen tip: rub horse hoof oil or cream into nails for strong fast growth. (Don't tell Jack.)
I think the whole "getting people to buy a copy for a food bank" will have helped those sales figures along quite nicely as well as allowing her to talk about how she donated copies to the food bank
That sound you can hear is Jackie ripping cans open with her bare (arthritic) hands.

Hit the Road, Jack!
Why I finally kicked my layabout mum Jack Monroe out of MY house and told her to - ‘get a JOB!’
House about that!
How I bought my first home before my mum thanks to my love for jigsaw puzzles - and polishing PEBBLES!
SB is a BB now!
Closer gets up and personal with Jack Monroe’s son who spills the beans on his mum’s slop and his new fitness regime that can see him bench press THE KING! SB’s a Big Boy now!
For most parents, maybe. Not someone for whom it’s an afterthought that they’re actually a parent, I’m guessing.

The therapist thing has always bugged me too!
1) why would you need 3? Was going to say one for each personality but if that were the case then we'd be well into double figures
2) therapists are famously not cheap, so how does that fit with the pov narrative?
3) imagine being her therapist
fascinating
Working for 80hrs a week arguing on SM and begging for rent money. Ffs Jackie, get a proper job
Ooh, just been for a look on Wikipedia Proper, and…

Ohhhhh! Considering it's protected that's a win!
Wikipedia likes source, so now there's more to reference it can be legitimately updated without cries of trolls and foul play.
Which also begs the question - where is the entitlement coming from? What makes her think she should be given things instead of working for them like we all do? I worked my big, fat Mediterranean a*se off to buy my flat, never expected to be 'given' it. Had no children to look after, but also no partner to share the financial burden. I really don't understand her.
Patron of nine charities?
Accountant?
Are these the ones she trashed by glueing flowers on?
I agree she probably gets so much free stuff. A frau here shared they had offered Her a salaried job. We know squigs send her things - shopping trolley, lanyard thing, space squig’s mystery LFC gift etc I reckon she has absolutely cleaned up over the years. Think of brands sending stuff for SB too.
As someone who works in this line of work...duck NO.imagine being her therapist
In fairness to Jack, they might have genuinely been a temptation as it looks to me as though she hasn’t integrated AA and step work properly at all. Another sign of ‘white-knuckling’ is obsessing over number of sober days to distraction and making that your entire ‘sober’ personality. AA is about changing your thinking and behaviour that you were masking with substance abuse and I’ve not seen any evidence of that so far.I don't think she was bothered in the slightest about the booze marketing emails or boozy gifts. She just wanted something to get faux outraged over, atop her sanctimonious high horse, and look like the soberist sober person ever. When genuinely sober people don't need to put on such a performance.
As another AA frau said upthread, if she was my sponsee we would be having WORDS.
