Quoting you again VVV (soz) because I was searching for Jack’s advice to someone on Twitter to pinch ketchup from ‘Spoons (now sadly she’s deleted those tweets) but credit where credit is due: I found this from 2021, so it’s not new advice from Jack!
I opened 2 cans, tipped them into 2 pans and made a simple observation. About 30 years ago. Have bought plum tomatoes ever since. Total cost back then was about 20p as tomatoes used to be cheap. She is a twit.

It was glucose powder round our way!
Borax round ours.

We’ll, it’s an excuse, isn’t it? She never intended to quit that job. She applied for flexible working, they said no, she rage-quit and they accepted it. She tried to rescind the resignation, they said don’t let the door hit you on the arse on your way out!
This put her in a double-bind of having to look after her own child a lot, and not having any kudos from being “one of the fire brigade” cough, call handler, cough.
I just find it strange that people moan so much about childcare being strangers. Consistent trusted caregivers can be family, friends or neither. A friend of ours has a demanding job and lots of kids. After birth of child 1 she got a childminder, who was at that time obviously a stranger. Subsequent children think this woman is their aunt or something until they get to an age where they can work out there's no biological link, as she's always been such a reliable and constant presence in all their lives. There are plenty of absent or rubbish family for many kids who wouldn't be as positive an influence.

*Sure* she opened and weighed lots of tins to figure this out 🙄

Not to derail this too far into ❄ land, but for a while some local dealers were also cutting the good stuff with laxative powder for babies. Which apparently produced some rather dire unexpected side effects 💩

Jack is not on the New Year Honours List:

Am I on it? They may have me down with my first and middle name, rather than just the first: Wooly Wooly Mammoth. Should be under services to promote the reintroduction of avatarless parody extinct species to the internet. It'll be a double act with my friend Dodo Bird. Thanks.

Traditionally it takes a village to help raise a child. Whilst the traditional support networks have faded over time, childcare support is still largely delivered by women and there is no shame in using child care services. Society has evolved, women are no longer confined to being home makers post marriage and now women make up half the work force filling valuable roles in education, care and health in particular.
Most mums I know have always used a mixture of grandparents and child minders for additional care Jack had no shame in asking grandparents to care for her son. She is denigrating women for doing something completely normal. It's also a nice social experience for children, even young babies and early socialisation might benefit the immune system too. It's really crappy behavior from self proclaimed feminist and mother of the year Jack Monroe.
The socialisation would be a huge bonus for an only child living with Jack.

I mean, Jack thinks putting your child in a creche is akin to having them fostered. I'm sure she said this.
Yup this

The poor child has probably been used as a human shield since his conception

Note she’s doesn’t say that it hurt her heart to be separated, or she just wanted to be there for his childhood firsts, you don’t know how it feels until you become a mum etc.
And I say this as a) not a parent and b) had a colleague who quit after fostering to adopt her niece, after the parents died suddenly. Just wanted to be there for the kid, full attention.

That quote is very strange - as it was in response to someone asking why SB couldn't live with his dad if times were so hard. Which she hysterically equates to putting him in care.

Yes, very much in the “do you want me to stop breathing!” School of Jack rebuttal.

That mummy mummy post, Jack obviously hadn't decided she had ADHD yet as she was calling herself 'organised to a fault'. Not that us ADHD fraus cant obsessively try to organise our way out of our traits, but I doubt many of us are in any doubt until our mid 30s about how tit we are at it.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but a few years ago Private Eye had a couple of stories about Vivienne WestwoodTM using overseas sweatshops and being incorporated in various offshore tax havens - I think this was after Viv herself sold some of the company to investors. I wonder if Jack knows that her anarchist hero was involved in these rather Tory-like business dealings.
[/QUOTE]

I always think that these dead celebrity posts that are entirely made up of Tweets are just the work of really lazy journalists in conjunction with copy and paste. I doubt they've even considered the pov.

Timmy Mallett absolutely terrified me. I’m still not fully over it.
I loved Timmy Mallet so much, when the show got taken off the air I was about 4 and I watched Time Team religiously because I was convinced that Baldrick was Timmy Mallet and the show was a Wacadays sketch. I went off him though because I tried to watch him when he was on Im a Celeb and he was running around with his trousers around his ankles shouting at Ant and Dec.

I know it's hardly the most objectionable thing in that abhorrent blog, but her saying she had SB "very young" is my new aneurysm. She was in her early twenties FFS! OK, younger than the average age, but in the actual working class community I'm from, it isn't at all unusual to see girls having their first kid at 16 (and sadly, sometimes even younger). She really can't stop her inner middle class Tory from oozing out every time she opens her facetuned mouth.
A girl I grew up with was a Grandma at 28, a bit weird but not she's still 11 years older than the youngest Grandma ever. 22 is pretty reasonable? Unless Jack's a pro lifer then she made the decision to have a baby whilst out of a relationship?

Totally off topic, but my favourite ever celeb story is that Schnorbitz once fell into a swimming pool at Terry Scott’s house, only to be rescued by Barbara Windsor.
You must not have heard about the time Dick van Dyke fell asleep on a lilo and was rescued by a gang of porpoises

TBF I doubt adding laxatives into cocaine would make a noticeable difference, 💩
I remember once it was cut with sugar, another time it was clearly just ground paracetamol, but a friend snorted it anyway so that it wouldnt be a waste :sick:

Oh fraus. In a bout of insomnia and watching old eps of New Tricks ( a show about old coppers from about 10 years ago for our overseas and younger frau) I came across this little gem.

I had to record it to see if it reminded you of anyone. Apols for the shaky recording, I had one hand over my mouth trying not to 🦉🍾 all the way thru.

Has she suctioned herself to any work surfaces lately? Recreate the same effect at home by commandeering a snail, writing a Paypal address on its shell and painstakingly place it on a suitable surface.

I agree with every word of this. Using the term alcoholic for the times she's drank too much and made an arse of herself one way or another. She probably does have a problem knowing when to stop if her shopping habits are anything to go by.
Also, "chronic" alcoholism. Tautology not psephology. Jack is a liar and an idiot

I’m originally from a teenage pregnancy hotspot. During my GCSEs we sat alphabetically and I was third 🔺the two girls in front of me were heavily pregnant. My older daughter is 16 and can’t even keep hold of her retainer- I have no idea how those kids managed a baby! Early 20s isn’t a shocking age for a baby at all. I was married at 21 though (we’re still married 25 years later) and it always causes a (v.mild) stir when I humble brag about it.

can't afford cocaine? Any white powder will do, icing sugar works well, and for an added zing add some popping candy!

NB please don't do this, or use any other substances to snort
