Jack Monroe #78 All of your food is brown

[Brian Butterfield]

I wonder how much of her food is put through the books as business expenses? I am sure most of her other purchases are also paid for out of the business.

A friend of mine runs a music venue and puts through all her personal food shopping as a business expense as if it is was ever investigated she can claim it is for artist riders.

Jack could absolutely put all her food/travel/sideboard expenses on the businesses (if she doesn't already) and say it is research/recipe development etc. She will also get tax relief on some of her utilities as she will say her home is her office. Books, make up, travel, clothes and more including her broadband and multiple phone contracts can also all be claimed for.

Although Louisa is tagged at the Cheval Edinburgh Grand in March 2019, so could’ve been there?

(ETA it’s also an apartment hotel by the looks of things, but looks pricier than the place Jack stayed).

Cheval Grand???! @Tabitha D, have you inadvertently stumbled on the inspiration for Sauce Béchamel à la Jack?

Alan, we started watching I'm Alan Partridge last night with our 10-year-old son.

I feel I have now peaked at parenthood.

As ever, there is an Alan Partridge quote to explain everything that happens in Jack's life.

A friend of mine runs a music venue and puts through all her personal food shopping as a business expense as if it is was ever investigated she can claim it is for artist riders.

Jack could absoutely put all her food/travel/sideboard expenses on the businesses (if she doesn't already) and say it is research/recipe development etc. She will also get tax relief on some of her utilities as she will say her home is her office. Books, make up, travel and clothes and more can also all be claimed for.

Shouldn't she inform the council that the "crappy bungalow" is being used for business purposes rather than just residential? My uncle got into a shed load of trouble for running a business from a private dwelling, and all he was doing was the office admin. Something to do with business rates rather that residential council tax, not exactly sure, but he had a lot of money to shell out.

All that needs to happen is someone to report her, as happened to my uncle (who has joined Viv, god rest her) and she will be be under investigation.

I imagine the landlord would be a bit concerned about that as they may end up having to foot any bill.

"a zillion reasons why" - but not ONE of them because I can't afford it. I'll never say that though, now donate to my tip jar

Nope! We all think you're an actual cash rich twit who cosplays being poor. Hope that clears it up Jack.

Ps. When can we see your meal plan with the government care packages?!

Waiter, Waiter, there’s a hair on my plate.

Sounds like the 'chemical rollercoaster' is, as I suspected at the time, having to stop the inappropriately prescribed by a private doctor ADHD medication and take something else instead. So amphetamine withdrawals.

Oh, well.
