Late on the Burberry scarf but I don’t know why she bothers buying the odd “luxury” (hate that word) item when she pairs it with such utter shite? I know the coven hate the scarf but it can look cool af if you can actually dress, which we’ve established she can’t. It’s sad she’s spending £200 a pop on shoes, £350 on cashmere scarves and still look like a Karen old enough to be her mother? Honestly £40 in uni qlo and you can look cool af - this is so unnecessary.

And sad that she can’t fit tuition in her budget after these unveils isn’t it.

Totally. It's just like with her interior design. No style, just throwing money at something expensive which she hopes will impress. I have a total weakness for expensive clothes but before I make a big purchase (which is relative cos I'm quite poor - I'm talking like sth from Sandro not Burberry!) I imagine how I'll wear it, what it'll go with, what situations I can apply the piece to... Part of the fun is making a statement piece work in your wardrobe of, as you say, uniqlo 😂

The last one is hilarious. Sausage, baked beans and lettuce (not shown on shopping list but definitely visible in the pic) in a pitta bread.
“Smokey” sausage. Not sure where the smokiness comes from when pairing Lincolnshire sausages with baked beans and no additional seasoning.

Your write-ups are brilliant @Pocahontas but also educational. I can now add “joie de vivre” to my growing list of new words & phrases learned from your thread recaps. I’ve still yet to use “betwixt” IRL.

Ohhhhhh I can’t keep up with these threads at the mo! But I had to comment on that insta post from the last thread because it made me absolutely seethe. You know she absolutely loved that two people were concerned for her and took time out of their day to pay some attention to fragile little troubled Jack (if it happened which it probably didn’t). It’s so pathetic. Jack Monroe, the protagonist of reality.

‘Notoriously deep lake’. How deep does a lake have to be to obtain notoriety? Does it penetrate into the earth’s core? Is it a gateway into hell? To be fair I’d consider any place with Jack sat waiting at the end of it the gateway to hell.

Not sure if it's been asked, she said Mrs J joined Tattle, was it her awakening? She left her after/around the DKL time didn't she?

ETA was everyone aware Mrs J was here?
She claimed she joined but was banned, she was going to provide details to yel, but no idea if she ever did 🤥

CABAL I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE!

So today I went to Jack’s (the supermarket) and picked up this leaflet - “5 family lunches for under £15”. Thought it might have some good meal ideas for me in it, and honestly I did think I’d be showing you all how their budget-friendly ideas were so much better than Mackies.

Then I looked inside.

You will not believe it fraus. Every single meal contains sausages.

The shopping list for this budget-friendly week of meals calls for you to buy FIVE PACKS of sausages and cook EIGHT SAUSAGES PER NIGHT. Granted, they suggest proper Lincolnshire pork sausages, not the bollock variety, but still. The name Jacks, the budget ideas, and the excess of sausages - too many coincidences not to share with you all.
I’ve always thought that shop gave off major gammon vibes, but I guess I got it confused with sausages.

I think the inference was that she might put stones in her pockets and put herself in.
On the one hand it’s a load of nonsense attention seeking that would be dismissed as such.
On the other, it feeds in to just the kind of thing that triggers vulnerable, kind people who she dangles on her line.
Despicable.

Chipotle Tabasco sauce gives a nice smoky hint too, but with a bit of a kick.
