Yes, Monna’s mount pattern is different too. Thank you for protecting us from guest’s … um … proclivities tenderstem, but you forgot to cover up her filthy fingers and the flappy hellmouth of her “pancakes”.

Ok, second attempt. How’s this? Added a nice big trophy (for all the good that she does), and some lovely lovely sideboards.

Can't find the bloody comment to quote it but it looks like Jack is holding a bigger version of this. Revolution palettes are actually pretty cheap as far as these things go:

The dripping pancake and the sliding ice cream photos are doubtless supposed to be aesthetically pleasing but they just make me think of how much Vanish I'd need to get the sticky mess off the carpet

Also, why is a supposed food writer boasting about how bad she is at baking cakes? Presuming it's not a crocembouche and just a basic sandwich sponge, surely it's one of the easiest things to make, you just follow the measurements and steps exactly and there you are? No particular skill or imagination required, it's like the steps for a chemistry experiment. Hence why it's one of the few cooking things you can do with young kids and actually let them get involved.

I mean, this is Jack, who claims to be so forensic about measurements that she was once surprised by the rozzers whilst weighing out 0.2g of MSG at 3am (I suppose you just had to be there). And yet she claims to be so bamboozled by weighing scales that she can't bake a sponge that holds sufficient consistency to support a layer of buttercream icing?

Bet she made it nasty on purpose to show LJC how stressed and put-upon she is.

I hate eyeshadow palettes. Who needs to choose between 48 different shades of red, blue and green ?Just give me three shades of brown

Revolution palettes are pretty cheap but she did have her expensive Urban Decay one and dozens of lipsticks ...

I'm kind of spite-using palettes at the moment ever since Sali Hughes (of whom I am NOT a fan, yes she has her own threads ...) confidently declared them cringe and said everyone's using just one or two neutral shades now. But I agree that you don't need over 100 colours - yes, even for guest's rainbow eyeshadow looks - unless you are a makeup artist. On the other hand her son's dad was married to a makeup artist at the time and guest wanted to one-up her hence the Mrs Gloss era

How about a scoop of brown ice cream held aloft in a room lovingly wallpapered to look like a damp, mouldy old shed, gripped a grubby grabber on the world’s smollest spoon? £3, please!

She looks like her hands are bloody! It looks like she's murdered someone and is now celebrating with ice cream!

yeah. Prince Lumpys brother doesn’t like him to contact members of their family directly. He thinks it should be through him. It’s so he can manipulate stories about us. It’s batshit and he’s a twat. We ignore obviously.

Try about £80/£90

The little ones with about two lines three lines in will set you back £30/£40

ETA: I mean they were that expensive during the time she was gleefully boasting. Thankfully, the price of eyeshadow palettes has come down a lot but places like Morphe and MAC really took advantage during the 2013-2018 eyeshadow “boom”

I am side-eyeing Urban Decay here.

Definitely cheaper than all this lipstick posted on Oct 27th

And the 25 more on top of that she just HAD to buy a month later
Including this £17 one she didn’t even like. Oh and these 188 eyeshadows. LOLZLOOK AT ALL THE STUFF I BOUGHT!!!

I’M SOOOOOO POOR! Thanks for the £££, you absolute suckas! Off down the pub! Aren’t I PRETTY!
Oooh that money for doing fuck all is going ever so well…Oh and I also bought all of this shit that I’m posting online for claps and cheers (Not pictured: 137 pieces of cutlery)!!
ETA she actually bought the exact palette @SleevelessSlopSlinger just posted back in July 2017 - it’s in the spoilered ss here. Spent £50 on it but didn’t know what to do with it tho so had to ask the plebs on the internet.

Furiously reading to catch up so no idea where this will land but she is no celebrity, not even in her hometown. I was visiting what is also my home town of Southend on Sea over Christmas and spotted Jack, on her own, walking down the high street. She walked from top to bottom and not a single person acknowledged her.

If say, Jamie Oliver did the same I imagine a few people might at least do a double take as they walked past, but for Monroe there wasn't the slightest recognition. She was just another person in the crowd, a mere guest you could say

She's finished isn't she, the capacity for her to grift is over, and she knows it. The best she has to look forward to is anonymity, the worst is notoriety and the HMRC leaving their calling card. She has no family to fall back on either, she will be shunned by them, anything that sullies the name of the big chocolate has no place in the family so that bridge is burned.

Happy belated Christmas everyone, 2024 will be a good year, the fiction that is Jack Monroe will finally be over, the empress will e seen to have no clothes

Her hands look considerably cleaner when you dial down the excessive adjustments she makes on most of her photos. It’s on purpose I’m sure.

The temptation to heckle her would’ve been strong. How did you manage?!

Anyone think that the publishers releasing Grifty Kitchen did it as a hatchet job, Shattenstone style? With the low sales and corrections it allowed them out the contract for the memoir.

123 days since her last Twitter post, now deleted.

She is RIDICULOUS.

Btw Jack you have a short and thick waist so dresses like that do not suit you.

ETA and 6 months since she set her YouTube to private and deleted her Guardian BTL username/profile (but her comments live on!)

@Claret having had a front seat to the very start of this grift, glad you’re there seeing the end too.
