The Jay Rayner quote is back!
Generally when people are very secretive about money they're either poor but pretending to be rich, or rich but pretending to be poor. Or middle-class and worried that they're not rich enough to impress people but also not poor enough to elicit sympathy.
Afternoon all
... I was wondering - because she's a tricksy liar - that what we are seeing is not boxes for moving, but the fact she's moved and these are to be unpacked!
I just don't believe anything she presents is truthful !
Such a co-incky-dink that today is the day that loads of bookshops just happen to be attempting to flog her book. Almost as though all this MY TORLLS stuff is some sort of co-ordinated sales strategy.
FWIW it’s worth Jack, I don’t hate you. I do hate your parenting though and wish you’d spend a little less time on your one woman pity party and a bit more on thinking about SB’s mental well-being. My heart breaks for him. Thank god for his dad.
ETA her constant refs to here are really bloody confusing and paranoid sounding when you don’t know what she’s talking about.

Also known as "doing some book publicity"
just imagine if she'd expended as much energy doing some useful thrifty tweet threads about the book with a link to preorder in the run up to Christmas instead of all the bleeping eel nonsense....
My dear Frauen. You have really got under her skin. Long may it continue 
It's quite extraordinary. All that time spent reading here and she's still not grasped that people want her to stop lying and grifting. Instead she's running about Twitter claiming people want her dead when no one has said that. How is it possible to be as stupid as Jack and still sentient? She has the reading comprehension of a squashed grapefruit.
Random Person: I think Jack should put her Patreon on hold until she's caught up.
Jack: Oh my God she's trying to kill me using words on the internet. I will now invent a special Celebrity Squad to frighten her into shutting up.
Oh dear...
Has anyone taken one for the team and bought a copy of Grifty kitchen? I’m desperate to know if the tumble dryer fluff is in there!
Seeing as we've got some new viewers and there is talk of trolling, time to repost the current list of TROLLCLAIMS - remember, these are things we believe to be true and would like Jack to rebut, rather than nonsense like "they say I'm a millionaire and my face is currently full of botox!"

- She uses facetune or similar editing software on her selfies
- Her son visits her for a maximum of three nights per week – and the rest of the time she sleeps upstairs in ‘his’ bedroom
- She has had at least six professional haircuts in 2022
- She did not set aside her ‘drinking money’ every week for an ‘amazing summer of memories with SB’ – or if she did, she did not spend it on him

- She has had lip fillers
- She has one or more additional Twitter accounts other than @bootstrapcook which she has used within the past six months
- She did not have "a team of people she had to buy laptops and phones for" during the pandemic. She did not have more than one person working for her during the pandemic and did not buy more than one laptop or phone for them. @Cucumberthunder
- At the same time as claiming to be "buying computers and laptops for her team" to work from home she also claimed furlough https://tattle.life/threads/jack-monroe-181-time-flies-when-youre-judging-slop.18447/post-4683399
- She did not have a team of IT experts working tirelessly to fix her website, that she rattled her jar to pay @Captainmouse
- She did not file her company accounts on time and therefore did not pay the correct tax when it was due - upon winding the company up she has now settled with HMRC although this is more than she would have had to pay had she done it properly @Lucky Escape
- She does not have a formal clinical diagnosis of autism
- She has used shampoo during the past two years but did not have to buy it due to having a stockpile of previous purchases, gifts, freebies, hotel minis etc

- She can afford utilities and does not rely on solar lights to light her house
- She has previously had Botox, even if it didn't cost £500
- She has, in fact, used makeup to make her cheeks look hollow, eyes darker, and lines deeper in photos to elicit sympathy
- A number of her breakups have been caused by her mental instability and substance abuse, and she has repeatedly ignored advice from her partners to get proper help
- She owns a large number of designer goods that were not gifts and were not bought as "insurance" against future poverty
- She has severely neglected her animals, leading to some of them dying
- She lost the Superdrug brand deal. Possibly because of trying to give the impression that she could not afford toiletries (when they were paying her to promote their own budget range), openly encouraging shoplifting, and/or the general drama and bad publicity associated with her
- Her previous and/or current agents have pushed her to stay quiet on social media so she doesn't tank the release of Grifty Kitchen.
- She spends more than £20 a week on food for her household, and cannot produce 42 nutritionally or calorifically sufficient meals for a maximum budget of £20/week including storecupboard/freezer restocking, as claimed with the peformative ASDA shop
Guess that’s the end of #TROLLCLAIMS then. Gutted.
We semi control Jack. We can't make her stop exploiting poor people but we can pretty reliably provoke her into making a tit of herself.My dear Frauen. You have really got under her skin. Long may it continue
Can’t wait to finally see some of the abusive tweets
I assume that now she has fulfilled the last 2 years of Patreon rewards she'll be removing those physical tiers and switching to digital only so as not to get in that pickle again?? Or can her higher tier subscribers expect regular rewards now? Or possibly another massive dump of tat in two years time...
She'll definitely get extra sales. It's her business model after all.
What lovely book is that?
The one that's over a year late. That you can buy for twice the price so one is "donated" to a foodbank.
I'm looking forward to seeing where she's stolen her ideas from...did she get beyond Mumsnet and the first couple of Google results?

I've never been able to decide if it's a proper persecution complex with a bit of reality behind it (I'm sure she does, like all big SM accounts get occasional bizarre death threats and... well, we're on thread 444 and I accept that's going to throw anyone a bit if that happens to them) or if it's an attempt to muddy the waters ie some people online want me to DIE, and some of them LIE, and that means nothing negative you read about me can be trusted and so you should just shrug anything you hear off as the work of dedicated evil trolls.
So yet again I can't decide if Jack is a genius or an idiot. Makes you think!
Omg, Belle Gibson. What a scammer. Our Australian Jackie.I’m very behind so sorry to derail but this is basically Jack, I wish I could edit the wording
Boo. What a missed opportunity for a 'painstakingly'. Spoilsport.
And only Jack would see it is a positive to spite recommend her ghastly book
