Jack Monroe #564 What's a Greek urn? Around £11,000 a month from Patreon

[jordishaw]

It was the one she moved into just weeks before moving in with Allegra. She said she failed a credit check and needed a guarantor, but then had trouble finding one (so, her parents said no) and now she finally had one and could move into this place and offer her son some stability. And then weeks after this she moved in with Allegra and lost the deposit

Her old flat she refers to as being "mouldy around the edges" with "alarming cracks" in the walls is the one she lived in before moving into house share/back with parents. She moved there in October 2012 when she described it as "cheaper, but nicer" than Royal Mews so maybe it wasn't such a hellhole after all?

Thank you! I think there have been various points where people have tried to set boundaries, it must be such a nightmare for them with SB to consider as well.

Well given she reads 7,697 books a year that's hardly surprising.

This would require somebody at the Guardian to have some sort of genuine experience of poverty and the benefits system. The only genuine working class voice they've regularly published in my lifetime was convicted murderer Erwin James.

Slight correction here, they briefly employed the incomparable Dawn Foster but sacked her for being truthful.
Her article on Grenfell here:

The Grenfell disaster has shone a light on how we’ve lost our housing rights | Dawn Foster

Millions are left excluded and uncared-for in an iniquitous market, says political and social affairs writer Dawn Foster

and here

How do we get over Grenfell Tower? We don't | Dawn Foster

Bottled water, clothes and cash will help Grenfell Tower residents in the short term, but in the long term, we must campaign for housing rights.

I truly can't understand how The Guardian could fail to spot the difference between Dawn and Jack?

Here's an approximate timeline (thanks @Valiofthedolls) - working this out for wiki purposes

• January-June 2013: guest meets the policewoman. It can't be earlier than mid-January, when she was writing about being single and looking for a man online; but can't be later than June when she wrote that "upstage the bride" blog post
• June 2013: guest says she's moving into "house share" (or was it back in with Big Eve and Big Choccy?)
• July 2013: when we believe she actually moved
• August 2013: guest engaged to policewoman, moves in with her
• October 2013: policewoman has LEFT. Guest and son temporarily move into an apartment a friend owned, but couldn't stay long because it was going to be sold
• January 2014: guest and son move into new apartment
• February 2014: guest moves in with Leggy within a week of first date, relocates to London, takes son with her
• March 2014: guest engaged to Allegra
• September 2014: son starts school in London with Allegra's daughter
• June 2015: Leggy has LEFT. Guest and son move back to Southend. She now has to wait to get him a school place
• February 2016: Son is now living in his dad's hometown and going to school there, as is apparent from his dad's public social media. Guest lies that son is still living with her and they have an hour's train ride to school every day
• June 2016: Guest is moving him again to a school near her in Southend.

So in the space of three years, between the ages of three and six, he had eight house moves (including moving back and forth between his dad and guest), and went to three schools in the space of two years. But sure, guest, putting a child in daycare is what's abusive and traumatic

But then he’s now in a school near Dad isn’t he? Wonder if he sat the exam for the grammar school

 

[Valiofthedolls]

So from at least January 2013 to summer of 2014 she looks as if she was primary caregiver? That chaotic period seems to have shifted some sensibility/realisation in Oirish, Chocco, SB’s dad because after that she seems to take a secondary role.

To add to what others have said! It’s hard to tell, because she says here in June 2013 that time with him is “a rarity”

and in Feb 2013 (second link) seems like she barely knew him.

As to the arrangement when she was living with Leggy, seems it would have been weekends. He was going to the same school as Leggy’s daughter in London. Think she said somewhere every other weekend- I’ll have a look for that as racing to answer before thread closes!

ETA found it! Leggy said it not Jack, so we can prob trust the veracity of this

Yes, and a reminder that the day after*** Jack used the word embargoed incorrectly, her son's face appeared in a newspaper photo, on which he was delightedly watching pancakes being flipped, while A's daughter's face was obscured by the same frying pan!! I'll rustle up the details or, should I say, I'll race the archive experts to see if I can get them first!

None of the evidence points to her son living with her FT. Her own admission that he's in therapy (great job revealing private medical details about a minor who cannot consent) shows she's messed him up. Hope he cuts contact with the crank who's used him as a carer when she was a drink and drug addled wreck and a prop and a puppet in the Jack Monroe Show.

 

[Onestorytoomany]

So here we are dear fraus... its not only shrove tuesday, but valentines eve and a tuesday. A perfect day for a fantastic serving of slop followed by tales of terror from the depths of her sofa bed told in real time whilst her son has his weekly visit!!

It's time to start the music
It's time to cook up shite
It's time to warp your children
On the Monroe show tonight.

Well SB must be excited it’s shrove Tuesday and visit night. I’m sure he is looking forward to his pancakes with a filling of mouldy carrots and herring oil, tastes just like golden syrup!

I’m not even sure whether this is a joke

 

[BeardyBap]

Even blended/step-families and family life vs social life (tend not to go out socialising during the week!) all sound very Jolly Hockey Sticks in LeggyWorld. I am intrigued as to what guest’s work commitments were though? Did Leggers actually leave her in Blackfoot unsupervised? Did that establishment go under shortly thereafter?

Whatever it was, it involved MILITARY seven day weeks in the bath and on the treadmill from Shetland to the Scilly Islands while also doing the school run.

Self indulgent rambling and TW weaponizing other people’s deaths (yet again) cos guest’s feeling sorry for herself

Vile twit. Leggy LEFT about 6 weeks later.

That guardian article about leggy and guest. Especially the photo in legs kitchen, I know I know I know it’s be mithered over a lot! But there is so much that guest as tried to copy (and mostly failed). The hanging utensils, the mass of fairy lights, the pictures on the cooker hood, the open shelves of ~stuff~ and there’s a lot of stuff! I’m sure others have noticed, this is the first time I noticed that guest copied those magnetic spice jars on the side of the fridge.

what a twit. It’s like she’s looked at tha and gone ‘oh right, that’s what a chefs kitchen is supposed to look like, I’ll do that’

 

[BeardyBap]

She’s got more of those magpots than Ms McEvedy now. And all filled with various obscure and wondrous spices by her many, many generous friends*. It’s their little joke and they’re all having a good old laugh about it just out of shot. That and the tea.
Take that, Leggy.

*friends = Davy Hadj

 

[Foxvint]

Greece on the verge of legalising same sex marriage. There's another place she could be jibbed off by a woman like the roadrunner with steam coming from her loafers. At least she could Duolingo 'boo. Another suitcase in another hall'.
