That's her whole thing though, isn't it? Being the face of poverty / austerity, a self-appointed spokesperson, so she can be included in things like this and the tories think they've ticked a checklist of hearing from the poors. It's farcical but also depressing.

She’s allergic to flavour (and texture)
And knowledge and learning.
Saw copies of the book in supermarket this morning, all untouched 5 copies. Hid them behind a TK book. Last thing anybody strapped for cash needs is a copy of Grifty.There isn't anything new or interesting in the Sunday Express Grifty supplement - I've attached it behind the spoiler below for completeness.
They haven't even named her on the front page advertising it!

The piano thing has made me chuckle, coming up with a plausible alibi that weaponises frugality in a gotcha moment against her trolls…
Forgetting entirely that most households don’t also just happen to have a piano laying around

Taking a snapshot of her media currently, seeing as she's so committed to attempting to wind us up with non stop posts about Mizzle by Farrow and Ball 
. Only succeeding in making herself look ridiculous, again.

It made me wonder if all their books are this bad.

The toffee chat has brought back memories of sausage toffee. Send sick bags.
A Wario version of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is both hilarious and accurate, thanks for that laugh.
Seconded that you don't use hot water on stains, it does indeed set them because heat denatures the proteins in things (see above, I'm Waaario!) so it's best to use the appropriate enzymes and room temperature water to soak spillages.
Or just wash your sofa cushions like a normal person.

Yes, and weirdly, an expensive keyboard that sits on top of a pricey Cotswolds sideboard. It doesn’t even have a proper seat. Why would you spend all that money on something and not utilise it properly.

And growth, development and poor people.
(This could go on for days)
Saw three in asdas yesterday - bored of lunch was sold out so I covered GK in pinch of nom and a copy of ‘Elizabeth’ by Giles Brandreth (I’m sure he’d approve).
I have no idea what she will be wittering on about today in an attempt to astroturf her timeline, but I hope this FT article is posted after every tweet. The Guardian article walked so this one could run. Sue ‘em Jack!
**Eta ahhh my quote didn't work. But it's about frozen onions being double the price of fresh**
Or, you can have the convenience of frozen onions for half the price by buying fresh onion, chopping it up, and freezing it in a bag. For half the price and maybe 3 mins of effort to cut and bag 500g of it.
Also on the subject of being thrifty, anyone know a good way to clean ugg boots? Without buying the ugg cleaner? If someone suggests a nail brush I'll not be delighted. Last time I stuck some in the washing machine in the end and it broke them as I couldn't find any other way to clean them inside and out that worked. But id like to keep these...

Also just makes a mockery of the problems so many renters face. I consider myself super lucky because my rent is low and the flat is in a good area, but equally we have to clean black mould off every external wall monthly, it’s so damp I can’t keep flour in bags in the cupboards (or salt in my pigTaking a snapshot of her media currently, seeing as she's so committed to attempting to wind us up with non stop posts about Mizzle by Farrow and Ball

) and when an electrician referred to our metal kitchen and bathroom light fittings as “death traps” it took seven months for them to be replaced. I couldn’t give a tit that all the walls are white and all the carpets are grey and all the pictures are hung on command strips.But I’m actively lucky compared to people having rent increased by hundreds of pounds, houses sold from under them, overcrowding, water pouring through the ceiling, pests, carbon monoxide leaks, unsafe cladding etc etc. Compared to the family of that poor tot who died due to black mould.
Jack’s been renting for centuries yet her utmost concern seems to be paint which just doesn’t reflect why most tenants would like to not be tenants or at least have better rights. She pays lip service to it but the Farrow and Ball obsession tells us otherwise.
Frau's doing God's work
Wait a minute, she has a nail brush
She looks like a smug toad seated in a mud hollow and clothed in murky orange, the colour in bru goes when mixed with pish. The smugness disgusts me most.
Some of these colours are much more suited to Chez Monroe

Some are clever while others are just straight-up weird.
Don’t want to boast like but my sofa cushions have zips so the covers can be removed and washed, I only do it every six months or whenever a child spills something, whichever is sooner 
it’s sad reading all the renting issues people have. I’m out of touch now, I've been a homeowner for 15 years now but back when I was at uni the rented places were the pits. Mould, rats, mice, broken windows, dodgy electrics and gas - they were death traps. Rent paid in cash, naturally. And not once did I get my deposit back.
I’m currently packing up half my home and am doing all the pre house buying things - including my AIP - do banks WANT you to not have a life because the budget we were given for a house was double what I’d even dare to spend, maybe I am too cautious. If Jack is buying I hope for her sake she hasn’t mortgaged herself to the hilt.
