OT- it started dropping in quality the more branches opened around the country. Originally it was one, then two, and the ingredients were obviously able to be sourced in smaller, better quality quantities. Over reaching itself now IMHO

Thank(space)you, darling snottyb. I can now sleep soundly knowing it was Ted Baker. More fool me for assuming she had taste!
You wouldn't lose a deposit on a bought flat. You may be in trouble and lose money if you pulled out after exchange as its a done deal at that point and also about 3 months down the line. Some dodgey estate agents have a deposit down policy to 'save' a property but that comes off your final amount and they have no right to keep it, if you pursue it legally.
You transfer your deposit about 10 days/ a week before exchange of contracts when buying. If exchange doesn't happen within the next 7 days your conveyancer will transfer it back to you because they cannot hold it for any longer.
I was curious about the timeline because I couldn’t believe Leggy would have taken that “Bae caught me nekkid sleeping with my honorary degree” in July 2015, but she didn’t cos they split in June.

It seems a tad Haroldesque that they were proclaiming their love and sexiness as late as mid-May before Leggy dumped her. It’s the clit clams one. WARNED.

Interestingly, i found the “ended in June” in a Times interview that Jack did that November. Even MORE interestingly, it says she had a nervous breakdown “at the beginning of the year and they split “roughly five months later” so the breakdown was in January- early feb at the latest.
But she claimed in 2017 that it was because of Katie Hopkins tweets and the aftermath, which were on…18 MAY, a week after that loved up article with Leggy and months after “the beginning of the year”
This is from Guardian 2016
So this breakdown “about 5 months before” June 2015 was a full on “thing” that left her unable to function, and with months of treatment.
Throughout this “full breakdown”, she published posts and recipes on her blog, mostly in a jolly and perky tone
7 posts after she broke her foot on Jan 10
15 posts in February
15 posts in March (including getting an award and gleefully going to the do on 2nd March)
14 posts in April (including the live below the line challenge where she’s “palming” carrots and scowling at yogurt)
In addition, on the Guardian she had
5 articles in Jan
6 in Feb
5 in March (including topically arguing like duck in the comments about leaving Labour and joining Greens which she did in mid-March)
6 in April
1 in May (including topically arguing like duck about Cameron and firefighters)
I’ve got to tell you that nothing much about Jack surprises me, but this stuns me.

So Leggy at that time? Her most recent stint in live in rehab must have been funded by LJC or herself then Dayhab was shortly after a grown up stepped in and apologised to the headteacher. Prior to dayhab we were treated to pictures very obviously in LJC’s Old place, so there’s an assumption...

Christ she's a baw hair off turning into an actual flasher. I know a lot of people struggle with body image but she needs to make up her mind. One minute she's so horrified by her tits she wants them removed, the next she's thrusting them into the faces of startled onlookers in a make up group or flashing the nation on the BBC.
Genuinely howling at "if I have not love I have nothing" like she's a Buddhist monk. HOWLING!
Find Jesus.
If the rent was £1500 pcm then the bond back then was likely about £3,700/ £4k maybe more for 'pets bond', plus fees for referencing and guarantor referencing fees? £5k is not far off.
ETA They still wouldn't have be able to keep the bond. Just the fees paid and potentially a first month's rent.

Ted Baker, Debenhams. According to Jack's later comment.It’s really, really annoying me that I can’tthat bra. It’s not Honey Birdette, Boux Avenue, Bordelle or Bluebella’s font.
Absolutely but a £1500 pcm rent for a single mum pleading poverty is an enormous amount.
It is. Its what she's paying now or what she began her crappy bungalow rental at. Pleading poverty and being in poverty are two separate things as we know
Hmm.
Per the sobriety timeline (here: https://tattle.life/threads/jack-monroe-228-the-winter-of-our-fishcontent.25280/post-7441325 for anyone who hasn't seen it before) Jack had announced her drinking problem and given up the booze a couple of times in 2016. She went sober for Lent in March 2017, but it lasted about a week.
She (temporarily) gave up drink again a week after this Mrs Gloss post. I'd like to think that looking at that godawful haircut in the mirror scared her sober.
Just looked over at my first tattle love - Sarah Akwisombe thread (can you imagine that I would look at the growing numbers of Jack threads and I would HUFF AND PUFF with disbelief for the first couple of months!???) and someone posted this. I think it suits Jackie to the T.
The bungalow de merde is apparently about £1,600 a month (I believe her on this because she got it pre-Covid. It would be a lot more now). She claims she was dropped in it with LJC leaving but it appears she was planning to rent somewhere just as pricy in the past.
Yes, they’re everywhere now. Noticed one in Glasgow last time I was home and WARNED my sister there’s a hundred better places to eat Indian food in Glasgow and she
Is that brand tacky? Too Frederick's of Hollywood?
I like Mowgli better than Dishoom tho
Nowadays the max deposit (for 5 years been the case) legally is 5 weeks (in England)
We really need a gantt chart
