Ex fire service control op here, I have the schematics for your premises and I’m studying them as i type. Hang on, I’m just triangulating now, brb, but while I’m locating you just get inside the bath, but for your own safety, don’t run the bath, don’t go in the bath with that electric blanket and plug it in ma’am.
Phew
You’re safe now, I’ve just been commissioned to write a book based on fire hazards in the home, which is due out next year along with my other books, but if you’re still worried or cold did I mention I’ve written a book, whilst renting, about food? No? Well aff link etc above, I think it’s brilliant. Thanks for asking. Now duck off Im busy!

At a guess, have long assumed that sales figures aren’t *that* important. To say, she probably racks up modest but okay numbers for a chancer with a medium sized following. But it’s not as if she can be absolutely killing it on the numbers front, I mean which semi-articulate, objective thinking person actually wants to read Jack Monroe? So the strategy seems to be: sell as many different books to the loyal following you have, regardless of how good the book actually is, and we’ll be happy with the kudos for giving a book deal to a (adequately portrayed) poor, (sort of) single mum-lefty. And so on it goes..
Quick grunk before I get on with the mountains of work I need to get finished. I’ve spent so much time with the cabal this week, that I’ve become almost as work shy as our 20hr day firefighting saviour!
Jack, I’m double busy mate. Don’t do a chaos today, ok? Just sit tight and don’t attack anyone on Twitter, don’t get your unruly labia out, and don’t threaten the cabal with a fake police enquiry, got it? Just keep yourself to yourself and get your book written and I’ll try and be back.... before midnight?

Indeed! Just catching up. We often talk about our execs at whatever channel we are delivering to as 'commissioners'. And that's who you pitch to when you're working in development.
I've got another three pages to get through but when Pocahontas asks you a question you answer
Ooooh ooooh! You know what we need? Jack bingo

Totally. It’s like those Insta mama books, everyone knows they’re not lighting the world on fire but if the publisher can forecast sales and cost the project accordingly then there’s money to be made, which is much needed in a declining industry?
Being published is an honour and I wouldn’t want to strip anyone of that, but you’ve got to be honest with yourself and look at what you’re actually putting out there. A novel - gorgeous well done babe! A compilation of slurry that rich aunties from Devon gift their posho nephews off to Durham, destined to never be opened much less engaged with? Oh sweetie I’m so sorry
Described perfectly
Sorry I’m late but
What Marcus Rashford has been doing is incredible and this is not mocking it in any way...
... But hooting to myself a bit at the idea that oor Jackie wrote this as yet another attempt to insert herself into his work
Joking aside, this is adorable
- contrast with the letters that Jack posted the other week all praising HER.

Your not supposed to keep electric blankets on all night. When I had them growing up I put them on about two hours before we had to go to bed and we were all instructed to turn them off as we got into bed. If she leaves them on all night she's very frivolous for someone frightened of the electricity bill not too mention knows the dangers First hand of an electric blanket.
She gets new fairy light every year?! And just throws the previous year's out? What is she DOING?!
It depends, over blankets can be left on all night, under blankets have to be turned off
Nb. Blanket auto corrected to blender!
I've been Grunking for hours with a teething baby and I'm STILL 40 pages behind. What the hell has this head been up to now ffs?
It’s always a nice moment when Grunka is grunking. Feels like we’ve come full circle.
When she mentions renting does this just roll around behind your eyes?!
The ciiiiiircle of shiiiiite
Not able to read all of the (no doubt) fantastic posts on this chemical rollercoaster of a forum, so please accept a 1000 complimentary 'likes' for all.
Have been BUSY stitching together a patchwork electric quilt in the background, using a 1/3rd of a courgette. Also did a deep dive into this ephemera.
Has as much meaning & purpose as a Smartprice Sausagna, but did notice the double standard that JM has following / interacting with parody accounts.
JM follows, replies to, and 'likes' comments from a Condoleezza Rice parody account. The 'Ruby' account is just woeful, but you can't have it both ways.
My patchwork of arrant nonsense (Yes, commissioned and available for pre-order soon) is completed by Congolesa and our favourite degree maverick.

Sorry to take the list from a fitting 33, but also to add - Anorexia
TBF Jude is a legit account, her name is just a pun.
