This twitter exchange sums up Jack 100%. She promises something. Somebody in all innocence asks about it, Jack leaps on it with a tale of woe, barely surpressed rage and an attempt to make the person feel guilty and oppressive for even asking

I'm imagining the labyrinth of dints in every carpet from the amount of sideboard repositioning.All floors lovingly cleaned with cold tumble dryer residue
Bit related but I felt like I learnt something that SCS stands for Sofa Carpet Specialist before!
Still shocked to learn the Cotswolds are veneered though.
ETA specialist not "sentre" wtf. Actually learn nothing.
You'd think after moving 28 times she'd be such an expert that it wouldn't be that stressful 
BIB this. And a thousand times this.I would like to mither a bit please, because that joke I made earlier this week about Jack being in charge of the team that have promised me (multiple times) they were going to send some info I need, well I’m actually getting worried it was accidentally not a joke, because it’s sodding Friday afternoon now and despite multiple chases I still don’t have it. How does the public sector not just implode under the weight of its own staff’s failures and incompetence?(sorry to any good public sector Frauen/Herren/lurkers, I do know there are good people there, and I know it’s frustrating having to work alongside the crap ones with no way of getting around or rid of them, you have my sympathy, I just desperately needed a rant about having to deal with the rubbish ones).
Anyway, also: how is Jack not completely desperate to softly, gently, duck off out of the public eye out of sheer embarrassment at her own failure and incompetence? Cannot believe she’s keeping it all going on Twitter and trying to pretend everything is fine, cartoon dog in burning room meme styleHowwww?! In her shoes I’d be looking at overseas work visas and international-fugitive-level plastic surgery. I’d be too embarrassed to even go down Thorpe Bay Broadway to look for yellow stickers in Tesco, never mind go anywhere else. Got to give it to her, that complete lack of self-awareness is in some ways a preservation trait.
To be honest - it's pretty rare NOT to be besieged by a litany of disasters, disappointments and delays when moving house. Although I can say that my two least stressful house moves were the ones into rental properties. Purchasing was a whole new level of stress.
That's why I think she must have bought because I really can't imagine any rentals having this much uncertainty (have never rented so excuse my potential ignorance). The completion date for me when I bought changed soooo many times to the point I just gave up and thought it would never happen
I really wish we could change our usernames. I

Good afternoon Fraus. Only just catching up and Lord have mercy the chaos has gone proper wackaday hasn’t it. I was going to summarise by rewriting ‘My Favourite Things’ to fit into Jacks somewhat skewed narrative, but i’m BUSY at work so that’s going to have to wait. In the mean time another of my particular aneurysms is how she says ‘Norn Iron’ (what!? WHY JACK WHY), and how she’s lifted all of these places off of a ‘top 20 things to do in Northern Ireland’ website. If she’s visited each of those (wonderful) places then I shall eat my Peaky Blinders flat cap. Sorry for the rant. Fin.

I've been thinking....and stewing since last weekend and these 'revelations' in The Observer (that we all knew about), what she confirmed...and what really pisses me off about this more than anything else, more than the stupid and pointless tangle of easily provable lies and all of the (relatively) trivial stuff. It's the fact that she has breadcrumbed being suicidal at various points for years because of poverty. Not depression, but suicidal ideation. How poverty drove her to the brink, how life was so difficult. And in all that time she was coining it in and pissing it up the wall. Gak, sideboards, haircuts, the bastard lot.
I have periods of horrific depression and it's made much worse when I've put myself in precarious financial positions, but that's absolutely my fault and due to issues that I won't go into here, and I suspect she may have done the same in that she is sometimes financially precarious having spent thousands. That may have made her feel bad.
I never asked for financial help. If I had it would have paid down the debt. I have dragged my arse out of that hole through graft and sacrifice. Weaponising mental health so that she can rattle her tin only to fart it away on crap infuriates me. And now that she is being exposed in wider media as a grifting bleep, it makes it harder for the rest of us when we might put our hand up and say "I'm not ok" or 'I feel like ending things"*, because people will be less inclined to believe us. Because of a grifting bleep.
duck Jack Monroe. duck her enablers. All the way to obscurity.
Furious!
*I don't, currently, but you see what I mean.

Does anyone know if Jack is planning to move into a smaller 1 bedroom property, because I don’t feel like she’s mentioned packing boxes or downsizing recently? Any scraps of info on the subject would be much appreciated.
Isn’t she planning a ‘long weekend by public transport’? duck me!
Genuine question…Belfast Frauen, when I was a kid in the late 80s/ 90s 
St George’s market in Belfast was closed, it hadn’t been reopened yet I think? That was in the noughties I thought? As in, as a youngster, I never went. So how did she manage to?
ETA Reopened in may 1999.
Also “the mountains”? Which ones Jack… they have a few.

Yes!! This is correct - am going to do some research. N Ireland Frau tooGenuine question…Belfast Frauen, when I was a kid in the late 80s/ 90s
we never went as a child. I bet Jimmy Nail would have something to say about this…
I know what you mean. I'd even have a bit of sympathy for her being trapped in a cycle of self destructive behaviour if she didn't weaponise it or my favourite (not) when she plays the "I am the most therapised person in the world behold my superiority" card. She's found terrible coping mechanisms for being being as poisonous as she is talentless and instead of taking responsibility and doing the hard work to get better she blames everyone else.
I’m really worried about the cat. It rarely gets mentioned or photographed, has it ever actually existed as I’ve only been forensically following here and on the hellsite since August?
She would love for the book to be bannes imagine how hard that would make her look! She would cream herself if that happened. Sorry for the vulgar post. Love ya!
Closed for refurb in 1997, reopened in 1999 so Jack might not be Jimmy Nailing this one.Genuine question…Belfast Frauen, when I was a kid in the late 80s/ 90s

At least it would give her a better excuse than being a monumental thicko who wrote a shite book for the poor sales.
A few years ago my in-laws, who were in their late seventies at the time, managed to move continents which included selling and buying across two different countries, shipping their belongings and getting themselves and a cat to the Uk with approximately 99% less fuss than one person doing a bit of downsizing and moving a mile or so down the road.
That's basically sort of what I was trying to articulate in part- because of my experience I have every sympathy with mental health conditions and know all too well that they can inhibit your ability to work, impact promotion prospects etc. They hit you in the pocket. So if she had been genuinely suicidal because of poverty through MH, lack of work, or both then fair enough. It can happen to anybody. But to play that card, rattle the tin and then throw it all away on crap is really disgusting. The only time she has been financially precarious in the last nine years is because she blew the thousands that have been gifted to her and it's just not the same.
