ETA - thought you were 'toddling' off Jack to go and do your Big Work?

Why do these lot equate big posh houses with adulting? You are an adult whether you live in a HMO or a mansion, it’s demeaning to suggest otherwise.

ETA - vom at the adulting word but it’s something she’s been chatting about loads recently? Grow up !

Tbh there's not enough words to say how much I hate her at the moment.

All this pricing up of sloppy food with no explanation of why she's doing this. With her 280k followers thinking that this is how poor people live. Or that this is all they need to buy food.

In reality she's playing the poverty card again ...she's so poor she can't afford to eat any decent quality food and she's metaphorically rattling that tip jar.

It's he day before UC goes in for us, I have beef mince, onions, frozen peas, rice, stock cubes and various tins. Also have some potatoes left.

I've managed to make a decent meal for three of us with ease. No stickered items, no basic smart price items ...just a few ingredients combined together to make a healthy and filling meal.

And no slop anywhere in sight.

Oh for god’s sake. She knows the work that goes into taking care of a dog? And has been weighing it up and not something she’d enter into lightly?
She said the same about the kitten. About being able to afford veterinary care, didn’t she? That she’d accounted for all future financial costs. And then took the first chance she could to list vet bills and say ‘Uh-oh, better sell some books.’ Shameless.

Jack Monroe #80 Literally Hella Embarrassing AF

 

[SweetTransvestite]

Fraus und Herrs, I'm sorry for all the grumpy grumps tonight but I've had a day of it & all this latest nonsense has absolutely boiled my piss.

Fortunately, I'm a mature, responsible adult so I've just had some Gin & a box of Maltesers rather than clawing at the floor, howling at the moon or whatever the fuck you do when you're a blue tick narcissistic tosspig.

to you all & especially if like me she's gotten on your last wick tonight.

 

[Switchstreetz]

Ugh, I'd love to have a dog, but renting in a house share and working full time means I just can't.

Before you get a dog you need to know you can give it a good life. That means having the time, money and attention to spare.
Honestly, its a hell of a good idea to have a car too if you can, because what if your dog may need an urgent vet appointment at little notice and may not be in a fit state to get the bus? And even with insurance you may end up with medical bills and what if your dog needs a specialised diet or medication?

Jack dont do it. I know empathy for a living thing means nothing to you so think of this: the doggo may scratch your sideboardo and fight loudly with your catto, then rip up your scarfo.

Also you will have to walko it EVERY DAYO

The single most annoying part of Jackie's know all approach to shopping and cooking is the complete lack of any attempt to shop ethically. Shitty meat, crap eggs in plastic boxes. If she got her act together and stopped racing to the bottom and going for the easy cheap shopping list she could have an actual marketable niche: ethical low cost food. But that would take some effort and improvement of her skill set, and as we know she's too busy, so I'll take my opinion and fuck off.

 

[Upthisweek]

Is she trying to get a dog?!

You cannot look after a dog if you can't look after yourself. They are wonderful but hard work and expensive.

 

[NomDeGuerre]

I don't know if anyone has seen Spaced, but those 'candid' writing shots remind me of when Daisy, the would-be journalist, feigns losing her glasses to put off writing an article. And then there's a montage of her typing away (on a typewriter, no less, Jackie's next big purchase?) which ends her with collapsing in exhaustion. Turns out she'd be writing for five minutes.

 

[Silver Linings]

All of the bedrooms are upstairs though, so they all have eaves. Especially in a bungalow. Is she implying that there's no insulation?
She's making it sound like she's stashed herself in the bare loft. Sounds all very Flowers in the attic!

tag yourself. I'm abject despair

But that was THEN.

 

[Montrachet]

She's told someone she's making draught excluders this week.

I look forward to seeing those.

She might get lucky and find one abandoned in Southend.

I absolutely cannot believe that this woman after the rabbits kitten and Guinea pigs that she would even contemplate a dog.. which is more work than all of those animals put together. She like Katie price should be banned from keeping animals.

I have two spaniels that need to be walked 3 or 4 times a day, cannot be left alone and obviously therer are limitations around not being able to go on holiday or for weekends away where dogs are not allowed. I am very stable and I can tell you now my animals are extremely hard work ! How can a clearly unstable person even contemplate getting a dog!! She is the most selfish idiot I have ever come across ! Never mind getting a dog concentrate on stability, routine and ensuring you sort your carry on out for your son. I'm absolutely fuming ! I had to take a break from these threads when she got the kitten as it was too upsetting for me and I hope for whatever poor animal is out there she is contemplating getting , for their sake it does not happen !

 

[Incywincy]

I'm raging and I'm not even a dog person. Back in #70/71 I can't remember where I am, are there discussions about the poor rabbit being cooped up and not fed properly.. then the kitten.. and the poor guinea pigs that died from carbon monoxide poisoning... she CANNOT look after a dog!!!!

 

[Alansbigplate]

Read that to the tune of 'Don't You Forget About Me'

 

[lilamay]

Still a very new follower of Jack so I’m sure this has been covered but.......Why on earth does she write everything as if she’s Enid Blyton?
That style of writing is ok if you are in fact Enid Blyton. She writes about her daily life as though she is a character in a novel set in the 1800’s. Everything so floral and elaborately described. I imagine her imagining herself padding down the hallway at night with her slippers on. A glorious and hearty midnight feast of tinned sardines, tinned peaches, thick slices of ham and lashings of ginger beer accompanying her. Grinning mischievously at her ruddy cheeked companions - oh what bricks they all are! Not a negative nelly as far as the eye can see. Hoping that swarthy matron doesn’t scupper their well thought plans....
She’s exhausting.

She literally does

Maybe she suddenly remembered that she didn’t actually vote AT ALL in the Brexit Referendum, so she’s hardly in a position to pontificate about the result.

She looks like Dennis Nilsen with those fucking glasses on. She’s such a try hard.

Also, let’s remember she set up a self timer to take those photographs - for some added cringe.
