Jack Monroe #429 Jack, please stop pretending to have friends. It's embarrassing for all of us.

Why does she insist on writing everything out longhand? Especially since she claims that she's in the midst of an RA flare-up.

And why use an expensive branded notebook for something so ephemeral? Surely a spreadsheet or a note-taking app or a little database or even just a plain text file would be a much better fit?

 

[Snotbuster]

So yesterday I posted this

And then Jack Tweets this

But no, you don’t read here at all Jack, do you

Did we see this yesterday? Some Jack maths and shoplifting mithering.

She is so edgy. What a dreamboat! It's like if Fonzie wore Tiffany earrings. Sigh.

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

She’s starting up again

 

[That Forensic Man]

Bloody hell, there are two of the tan ones in my flat - now I know where my landlord gets his furniture from! (or got, I suppose, since Made.com have gone bust...)

They're quite nice to sit on for a short period of time, but the space between the top of the legs is too narrow for me to tuck my legs under them comfortably.

That's an Ikea Bekvam step stool in the background of the second picture, btw - £29 currently: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/bekvaem-step-stool-white-40178888/

Thank(space)you tender one x
I'd been wondering about the step stools
£29 IKEA bekvam step stool

There's a brown one here

This looks like an IKEA too
£45 IKEA bekvam stepladder 3 steps

These might be the same one repainted? (y tho)

We don't have these dining chairs yet

 

[hoopdedoo]

Like people GENUINELY on the bones of their arses, with nasty landlords forcing them out on short notice, have time to make forensically detailed notes in their Moleskine notebooks about what goes where. Feck off, Jack.

Ikr it’s like she’s expecting her estate to be auctioned at Christie’s rather than the reality that’ll be a house clearance service straight to the dump.

 

[Terrible]

So white. Like mayonnaise.

 

[WoolyMammoth]

I can't imagine this would be a normal private rental.

But, has someone, after many years, reached the top of the housing list? Hence saying no to basement flat because of illness. And also having the opportunity to decorate? Again a hole in that theory if her son lives with her, given its 1 bedroom. But if he only visits, that's potentially a theory.

My bet is that book advance is house deposit (if it hasn't bought a random high end item yet) and that it's a joint ownership with a family member where she pays the mortgage payment but they have their name on it because of ccjs.

I don't think it'll be an SPV.

 

[DinosaurSenior]

I'm still fretting about those aubergine bollocks. Why.... If you were vegan, and wanted to make something ball shaped, would you use an aubergine? (), the mushy veg?

Why not use a lovely bean, or a sweet potattie?

 

[Snotbuster]

Please shut up you wanker.

Tell me you’re buying a flat without telling me you’re buying a flat.

You know she spent ages planning her wedding as a kid/tween/teen. I'm sure she still has the binders with clippings and pages ripped out of magazines-- bet she even paid for some of the mags.

It’s no wonder she needs 107 bookcases.

Coming from the past as I just can’t keep up, FFS Jack, I’m busy.
Soz if already discussed. Could she be getting social housing?
the council close to me operate a bidding system. With all her ailments and disabilities it wouldn’t surprise me if she used the BUNGALOW’S STAIRS as a reason to need to move. Although not sure they would approve for just a one bed… the more I type the more I am thinking not.

as you were, I’ll duck off. Love.

Southend-on-sea Borough Council has an income threshold of £30k (or £50k if Jack is the resident parent):

Her income from Patreon alone is more than that - and then there's the book royalties, media work, various campaigns, and the tip jar on top of that.

 

[Mr Krabs]

People bringing casseroles round - does she think we're still living in the '50's?

Like anyone would dare make Jack food. We know what a bleep she is about other peoples’ dishes like the trifle incident.

 

[Snotbuster]

Ahahahahah. Has she been on a grunk? I was saying yesterday that I was looking forward to her crappy decor choices.

Love that she’s chosen the most boring basic colour scheme that already looks dated. May as well go all Hinch grey.

Definite Ramada-Inn-cocktail-lounge vibe wafting from the color scheme. Maybe La Quinta.

 

[LittleMissMuffet]

So the cost of living crisis is why she’s moving now? But then she is an accidental analyst so I guess she knew this would all happen when she started saying she was moving out a few months ago.
I’m also so glad to know that you absolutely cannot be held accountable if you have low mental health. how can people not see that she does this almost every single time she’s called out for taking large sums of money? Between this and England calling a draw in the rugby I’m just really bloody vexed today!

 

[DinosaurSenior]

@WoolyMammoth yes, it's a possibility! But I think council renting is beneath our little celebrity. And she said she ripped up the application forms many years ago.

It's definitely a "bought" house. No more renting for wee Jackie

Everyone's only signed up to the £1 tier though aren't they?

@DinosaurSenior I am enjoying that a dinosaur and a mammoth are considering whether someone from the future is renting or buying a house.

 

[Phillipa78]

Fast flits?
The term flit is usually associated with shame or guilt. Eg moonlight flit.

ETA great suspicious minds @BlendedSlop

 

[BlendedSlop]

"Most of my moves have been very fast flits"

Interesting.

SH1TTER.

 

[ChickenPorridge]

She’s starting up again

Pretty sure your Patreons would prefer a thread on when to expect their goods. Or maybe an update on the VBI.

Round and round and round we go.
