Can’t see Jack going to that effort to be honest, and I feel like I remember tattle had found the listing before she said about her memoir.
I think Bluebird are just that thick.

Using quite a lot of energy there Guest.
Mind you, I imagine that 15 Smeg fridges, the toaster that isn’t a toaster, the totally-found-in-a-shed neon wall light, and the gas-fired radiators don’t run themselves. Much frugality.
I wonder how jack's no buy year went (2020)
"Please buy my books so I can have a house" guest I thort you earned 7p a book.
From anyone else this would be cute, but she ruined it by saying it was actually to buy her a house
guest's house obsession. Idk. Sometimes I would like her to be a home owner so she realises that its still precarious, mortgage interest rates can change fast and you have to pay on time just like rent, plus everything else is your responsibility. You don't have the landlady to organise tree surgeons or whatever.
Can you tell I'm frazzled and panicking about a leak in the house that I own
that I'm gonna have to get fixed all by myself. That bill is gonna be mine all mine all mine.

Big Misery vibes, there.
Carole definitely was. Anyway, I have an idea for Jack, if she's reading
.............. she could crowdfund the memoir! What could possibly go wrong?Take a leaf out of RSM’s book and do it via unbound!Carole definitely was. Anyway, I have an idea for Jack, if she's reading
Now there's a thought. How do we know guest's radio silence is not because this person has kidnapped her and is forcing her to write the Greek cookbook?
They'd be remiss not to demand a greek cookbook after she completed mousakka all those years ago.
Remember the term "covidiots"?
Can't begin to describe how funny the Patreon "featu" has made "in situ". Everyone in earshot this morning knows exactly how much, though.
I don’t believe those brass and leather wine racks featu on the inventory do they?
Two at £295 each
ETA she bought a Cotswold company wine rack later for her rolls of paper
£590 on wine racks for “backgrounds and papers” on top of a £1,299 Cotswold Westcote large double larder.
Have suspected before that she might have two of these giant larders based on the pics of the dining room and her cat and hat below. Discounted it cos I thought it was probably the lighting, but seeing this new pic…does she have two?
This new one today is definitely the grey one
which is the same as this dining room one
But this one with her stupid hat looks like the cream version/much, much lighter than the wallpaper one
Think these are different ones! She has both cream and grey dressers/sideboards etc etc so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility. Am I hallucinating/what do you reckon? “Keeping me stocked with £1,299 larders”
This new one today is definitely the grey one
I think there's three! Best part of a grand on storage for crap that belongs in the recycling! Or not the recycling if it's covered in grease and food stains! #threadcrossover
I wonder if 1) anyone really bought one of those photos and 2) did it ever get delivered to them if they did.
Has she got three? The one in the wine rack photo has a misaligned LH door. The dining room one has aligned doors.
The link to the wine racks is another un-acknowledged affiliate link too, naturally.
So she replaced multiple £295 wine racks with a Cotswold wine console that only cost £499. #JacksHacks
here they are again shoved in a room full of her old junk
At what stage of her much publicised recovery from alcohol did she purchase this ostentatious wine furniture?
Definitely after the first time she said she was sober but there have been many of those. ETA bungamansion onwards so post 2017
It’s almost like she’s never actually had to do it for real for any significant period so doesn’t actually know what she’s talking aboutBringing this over as I was typing it while the thread closed:
The quarterhackis such a fascinating insight into guest's attitude to food and money. It's all about shopping and hoarding. There's nothing helpful there for actually planning meals in a coherent way, especially if you don't have the cash to have a freezer stocked with duck gyoza and three jars of sifted stuffing in the pantry so you can get away with a £20 top up shop.
I know I bang on a bit about sorted food, and they're not the only people doing this, but we've started using their Sidekick app so we don't spend so much on Hello Fresh (#poshwankers). It is really helpful as it offers multi meal recipe packages that avoid food waste (which is also money waste) by using up the same ingredients across them in different ways, with a handy shopping list.
Surely if you had limited money the best place to star would be a weekly meal plan, based on fresh, bulk and frozen ingredients that you can split up between across the week, a few larger cooks that leave leftovers etc. Then you just need to buy the stuff that fills the gaps, plus snacks etc. But of course, she suggests hoarding a random list of stuff and then mavericking up slop concoctions out of it on the fly, just like Matilda
I appreciate that meal planning is a skill, but there are loads of apps and resources, blogs etc to help, many of which the Frauen have mentioned here. Guest's approach is pointless busywork that wastes your time, and has a high chance of not actually resulting in a sensible week of nutritious tasty meals. But we knew that already.
