To be fair that's probably just a few months worth of Sideboard circulars and letters from the TV licensing board.Yep. Jack has opened the massive pile of unopened mail at least three times.

I am pretty sure she said her most recent ex, Mr OH, went through them all with her too
Jack Monroe #483 The plans are going well, it’s the execution that seems to be lacking

It's so offensive she refers to herself as being "destitute" and the "long hangover of destitution". You had a tough year or so, with your family and your son's dad right there the whole time.Yep. Jack has opened the massive pile of unopened mail at least three times.

I also think her work opportunities are so limited now. Her agent must be advising her to take whatever's offered. Imagine being Jack Monroe's agent...absolute nightmare.
Jack’s weight loss advice: have a boiled egg for breakfast but replace the egg with a pretend egg. That way you can imagine you had something when in fact you had nothing. Rather like my whole patreon ‘this is not a donation service’ scam.
Btw I swear the egg is one that you give to broody chickens-she bought it because she considered having chickens once? Bit like the other crap she buys-hmm, wonder if I should get a horse? Goes out and buys a stable then decides against it type nonsense.

Just to touch on the post thing. I can sort of relate to that. I personally haven’t opened a random letter since the early 2000s.
its pov adjacent in a way. OH who did leave (but I wished I had) was made bankrupt so all the debt letters piling in then medical anxiety made me unable to do it. Even seeing post on the mat triggered me.
To this day I can’t open things. Family will hand me stuff from places I trust but I won’t even look at the sender’s info myself
there isn’t a pile though it’s shredded or burnt lol. A pile would be very triggering

I can’t understand how she’s getting so much mail when she’s living off grid from HMRC and doesn’t actually seem to have much? Thinking of who sends mail it tends to be - pensions, banks (she’s only got 2 accts), car related bits, insurances, credit card companies with offers (she’s weirdly anti debt so I don’t think she has them?), savings, kids savings, HMRC, mortgage company, council tax, utilities once a year tops? She’s only got utilities and council tax writing so how is it so bad?
I always assume her stack includes the random stuff you get that’s “to the householder” generally, so while she may have a massive stack, a good 60% of it is probably stuff like notification of traffic diversions that happened years ago, adverts for sky and various broadband companies and copies of the watchtower.
Just imagining Jack screaming and running for cover every time the Farmfoods leaflet hits the doormat.
Yes this is not good, why on earth wouldn’t the media go to any of the actual professional nutrition associations and societies, you know, the ones where people actually have to know what the duck they’re on about before they’re allowed to be members and speak in the media about topics? The more the interminable Jack Monroe circus drags on, the more I lose whatever vestiges of respect I had for media outlets. Why her? - she’s not an expert on obesity or nutrition, she certainly isn’t an expert in food, and she’s not the slightest bit a medic or biologist. Cannot imagine coming up with a people wishlist for a discussion about weight and pharmacological stuff that would include Jack Monroe. Madness.
Babe, same x
More fool them!! Do your research!!
Dearest Vali, please don’t forget that Jack was once POOR and had to sell all her stuff. Now she sometimes says she isn’t poor anymore, do you want her to literally stop spending thousands of pounds on unnecessary tit?? (Yes).Every now and again I’m flabbergasted all over again by the sheer amount of stuff she’s accumulated.

Hoarding is much more common than you’d think! A friend of mine owns an industrial cleaning businessObvs not a doctor but I don’t think what she’s doing would fall under hoarding. The NHS website explains it surprisingly well for something I’d assumed to be a real niche?!
Hoarding disorder
Read about hoarding disorder, including why it might happen, why it's a problem and what can be done about it.www.nhs.uk
But she’s not amassing worthless stuff and appears to curate it somewhat and she tries her best to present it for external approval. It just doesn’t look like the hoarder houses you see on tv / I’ve seen one recently IRL that’s in phase 2 of a hoard after a somewhat recent clear out and there’s just a v different aesthetic to the whole thing imo?
Like I think hers is an addiction to spending? Her house looks far more like those ridic early 00s shopaholic shows than anything hoarding related?
and has a contract with the council to clear properties after tenants have LEFT or died with no family around to clear their stuff. The amount of hoarders he’s come across really shocked me.

I didn't listen to Van Tulleken's bit because for some irrational and unknown reason those two brothers annoy the hell out of me, and I was already inflicting one annoyance on myself.
I didn't even clock that she was on to plug her book until the end when the presenter said "That was Jack Monroe and she's got a book out". I suppose maybe the intention was to talk about how it might be possible to have a balanced and enjoyable diet on a low budget and she's written the book to prove it (lol). Or maybe she was wearing her poverty activist hat. WFK.
To be fair to her, I'd forget to plug my book if I'd just woken up and not got out of bed (which I'm assuming was the case from at least some of the rustly noises in the background).

Sending love - it's definitely a real issue, especially when you're dealing with the DWP, (which she never really did, let's be honest.) Any debt related post is going to be because she overspends because she feels she's entitled to. And the way she talks about it is so self-centred and lacking in empathy. No tips on how to prioritise your debts or pointers to debt charities for anyone in a similar position. It's just more appropriation.
Oh, look who's booked for Charleston Festival this year:
Truly, it’s an inexplicable egg. She owns a set of rubber eggs, she was going to buy a hen one day and you give them these rubber eggs to get them going on egg-producing or something.
She really does buy everything.
Jack, The NY Times are talking about you!

I'm with you, they annoy the hell out of me too, but don't think that it is irrational though. I have me reasons and I am sure you do. We are both here because we saw right through Jack, so we can spot a bad 'un a mile off!
She is appearing with Kimberley Wilson? They were on something else together a while ago on a Zoom thingy. What has poor old KW done to deserve that? She was on Bake Off and specialises in cooking and nutrition for mental health, and is clever and articulate. Then there is the Honker mumbling on phlegmily about herself.
And ugh the nauseating David Baddiel is there.
