I wonder what she does all day? Arise at 11 ish, to spend hours looking at her phone before calling a takeaway.

Comic sans puts the rage in my naan, or brings it out, or something. It's so unnecessary

Probably something akin to Hunter S Thompson’s daily routine, except with Deliveroos, cheap toffees, and bottles of lemonade mixed with tea. And instead of writing, titting about on Twitter on her sock accounts.

In terms of guest disappearing, how long has this episode been compared to usual?

Since she paid the CCJ and therefore bailiffs aren't coming round any more and she doesn't have to go to court and declare her earnings, why exactly is she hiding again? I've lost the point and forgotten?

Recap am I right? : She was last known to have fled her house, avec two box red hair definitely not done by a hairdresser, splitting up her family, on the [imaginary] advice of police... because why? She then posted about being looked after by others and at some point claims to have made a four tin slop in one pan in someone else's home, none of which is verified.

I remember on Twitter there was somone who really wanted a invite code for tattle, I think it was shared here.

Please don’t say who you are (because then your Twitter and tattle accounts will be linked), but you really did seem keen to just join in here and chat, so I hope you’re here now!

I used to produce a catalogue for a
furniture company every year, and they had a very grumpy Manager who would constantly harass me about deadlines and layouts.

He used to yell... "Come on, time's roamin'!" Over and over again at me, and I just worked faster.

It was only years later I realised what he had been talking about....

To my observation, what is evidenced is thus: she writes copious notes on all manner of subjects and in various formats from post its to tags to labels to jars to notepads to on the kitchen tiles, to no known end or reason. Spends at least 50% of awake time on a hellsite writing copious self-referential tweetshite. Spends a chunk of time dressing, make-upping, posing, making awks selfies. Some time having haircuts and facial fillers. Occasionally cooks slop and messes up her kitchen. And the rest of her life she alleges to be packing for a move that never happens (somewhat evidenced). She also claims to spend several hours per day involved in 12 step recovery meetings (not at all evidenced and shouldn't be breaking her own anonymity were it true). Because sane.

Removing the vast time on hellsite would free up major time but for what?!?

What a day to be busy at my actual work and think "oh Tattles been quiet lately, I probably won't miss much". Only to miss @Awfully Molly!

Before I started posting regularly here we had a couple of chats on the hellsite ( I don't have that account anymore) - I'm glad to hear all is going well with you, I thought the worst when you disappeared suddenly!

As for what guest does all day, who knows. Ruby Tandoh is doing an ice cream guide and has been tasting hundreds of ice creams across the country. Maybe Jack is doing the same with sideboards ().

Oh and one last bit for Guest if she is here:

This isn’t “aimed” at you specifically, but she’s really not on Twitter much these days. Over the last year or so, the pattern has been “mostly quiet, a chaos then quiet again”.

I realised this seeing the old tweets here, she used to be there all the time. But that’s not the case now.
I think we need to accept the new narrative. Of course she should still be called out, but in terms of her tweeting, sometimes it’s like we’re taking about a 2020 Jack day, when the reality is that it’s not been like that for a while.


ETA. I know there are theories that she’s still there on sock accounts, maybe she is. But I don’t think it’s any of the “obvious“ recent ones. I think they’re just people who like to get involved with Twitter drama. “Peeky Mink“ was definitely her. “Debate“ was probably her too. But the rest of the suspected socks …I’m not so sure.

I just don't believe that she would ever cook/eat any of the shite in her books.

She probably has a meal delivery service, like the flower service we know she has ( see Bathroom Eucalyptus)

Just catching my breath after thread #31 OH MY GOD.

I really wasn’t expecting a double Shan’ting.

Thread title #32 has killed me dead, I was expecting “no idea, sorry”

And my favourite favourite post is this prophetic one from @heretoreaditall2019

As you were, go well. I’m having another gin after that.

This is incredible, if true. Also interesting to note the biographer here is the same woman who recently won her sexual assault case against Tr*mp. Am guessing she's had more than a few experiences in dealing with awful men in her time. Maximum respect.

LJC are we gonna have our first thread hookup?
@emotionalsupportsideboard have you met @traumatised sideboard yet?
You're a natural pairing, with @Sideboard Bob as chaperone, natch.
I have read about the horse spunk lasagne for a long time. I have never actually had the stomach to watch until now. Blame a sleepless ouchy night...but, for the love of LJC, what an insult to food. Bland boiled to buggery lentils, raw flour, sloshing milk all over, and don't forget you can use dried stuffing on top. She is such a , why is all her food so grey and dull. Who looks at her finished food pics and salivate, looking forward to recreating them...apart from the slopalong, not so much salivating, but that horrible watery mouth you get when you are about to throw up. Why you hate food so Guest, what has it ever done to you?

Bread and Jam Crafts: The full saga
December 4 2012: What is that silly Jack up to?! Well, she’s only gone and ACCIDENTALLY PLUGGED her personal craft business in her newspaper column!
How on earth could that have happened?! Sigh! TECHNOLOGY! (And cufflinks)
December 9 2012: Jack has been launching Bread and Jam (the business that TECHNOLOGY made her “accidentally plug” in her newspaper column). All profits go to local community organizations!
She’s also making sandwiches for the homeless (which she’ll be doing twice a month!) and soliciting input from other organizations Bread and Jam will help.
Needless to say, neither sandwiches nor “donating the profits” are ever mentioned again. In fact, by the time the Sunday Mirror come calling mere weeks later (published 23 December), “Hardworking and honest” single mother “Jackie Monroe” is in DIRE POVERTY eking a living out of her £250 a month craft business earnings.
December 29 2012: Just six days later, Jack puts her sewing down for the night to tell us all that thanks to her bunting-making…


THE POVERTY is OVER!
NYE 2012: A mere two days later and she’s already contradicting her “Bread and Jam will go into a few local shops” because she’s only in discussions about it.
Oh, and she won’t be setting it up properly (even though she’s “in the process”), because she can coin in the cash through FB and direct into her PayPal instead.
Jan 1 2013: in her newspaper column Jack makes a New Year’s resolution to make a proper business plan for Bread and Jam. Oh, and plugs her business in the paper again.
and that, my friends, is pretty much it for Bread and Jam. Thanks to the Sunday Mirror article, Woman’s Own also soon come calling and after that, Jack boasts to Xanthe Clay about her book token and realizes she can make a far more lucrative business out of lying about being in THE POVERTY. https://cookingonabootstrap.com/201...rl-called-jack-the-telegraph-2nd-march/?amp=1
And the rest, as they say, is history. (Oh, and as you see above, she already had the shameless self promotion, fast and loose way of coining in business cash and lying/claiming to “do good” all down pat already).

Lol and as an aside, in another act of shameless self promotion, she immediately added “the newspaper” calling her “hard-working and honest” to the masthead of her blog
Except cos she’s a useless fuckwit, she got it backwards.

That cross-stitched "Love not Money" is rich. How did she keep a straight face?
As a somewhat crafty Frau nothing about the Bread and Jam business convinces. Jack apparently began producing a large quantity of sellable goods in a variety of crafts she had no experience with (see the dress in Frau Vali's post above for proof of that), put them in an online shop she ran herself, and within a couple of months was raking in enough profit to be donating the spare cash to charity. Even though everyone in every crafting hobby knows how hard it is to even make your costs back selling these things online and it's hard to get sales even on specialist selling platforms like Etsy. Jack, a complete novice, pulled off a miracle with those cross-stitches and cufflinks and then she just abandoned her very successful business for no reason. Fraus, she knitted me an aneurysm with this particular bag of lies.
