I can well believe a lot of stuff in the house wasn't paid for by her - she did set up home with someone else, so it could be the partner paid for a lot of stuff. And might want some of it as part of the break up.
I also have sympathy with carrying heavy shopping - I have fibromyalgia and there have been weeks when the thought of shopping was enough to have a meltdown. Luckily I have a lot of friends / colleagues who helped physically, and mentally.
What I'm struggling with (like a lot of you by the looks of it) is the constant piss on Twitter, and the fact everything happens to her at once. And is worse than anything anyone else has been through. So you broadcast that you only £20 to spend, but then get stroppy when asked about. She's shared so much it's no wonder people think it is ok to ask. Although its now 17 hours since the last tweet - u k hun?
No no. She bought loads of it after SHE LEFT. She doesn’t appear to have taken anything since SHE LEFT, either. Since Louisa left, she’s bought a £3,000 smeg fridge, a £400 hammock, about £700 worth of John Lewis curtains, a TV specifically for her son’s room, a mirror that costs something like £300, even more Cotswolds furniture, and got on a last minute sleeper to a luxury apartment in Edinburgh, where she bought a nutribullet especially for the trip and made a song and dance about leaving it there. She’s been having Ocado deliveries, oddbox, flower deliveries and all sorts of other high end sundries. She even went out twice in one evening on the Eat Out scheme. She knew she was going to be managing alone financially since May, so should have adjusted her outgoings accordingly back then. She simply should not have gone mad on buying high end goods until her last paycheck from Hellman’s ran out. It’s her own fault, these are not sad and unpredictable circumstances, she’s spunked her money on Cotswold sideboards, and is now on the beg from vulnerable followers.

Sorry just to add I’m not being passive aggressive with the SHE LEFT, this is a classic Jackism, used to great sad fishing effect by Jackie herself 😅

Quick g’morning to the glorious cabal...I have to confess that I can’t keep up with posters who have more than one ID (why?) or cross over to Twitter (why? Isn’t that against Tattle regs? Also, why would anyone troll Mack or her family?), or both (see above!!), so I’ve not been commenting much because...I just don’t get it. But hey...another day, another dollar for the griftmeister. I wonder if she’s received the trolley yet?
There’s some very strange behaviour on the internet. We should remember people aren’t all they appear or what they purport to be, as we’ve seen in some posters on this thread in the (recent) past.

She shouldn't need an eviction. She should be planning to leave at the end of her contract period and move to somewhere within her budget. She won't because she has become accustomed to living in an affluent area. That and it is stuffed to capacity with sideboards.

Where would she put all the high end furniture she has amassed? She wouldn't want to get rid of all that. Won't anyone think of the sideboards?

Went back to check on kind squiggle who sent her the score for the trolley. Follow up tweet shows you exactly who JM is getting money from. Potentially someone on a low income, far, far lower than Mack's.

Scarletfever I can't DM you ( or at least I don't know how to ) but if you or anyone else knows how to get in touch with the squiggle ( I don't do SM ) I'd like to pay that person her money back.

I'm not shocked but I *am* depressed. I had a quick scroll through that person's timeline too and she just seems really ... nice? When she 'complains' to companies she does it politely and thanks them for their help - a much more effective way to get actual results, too. She seems to have have had COVID and has been shielding for months. Her responses to other posters are sweet and sympathetic, she just doesn't seem to have a side to her at all. And of course she is struggling financially but she's just getting through it as best she can. It's just so depressing on a number of levels that that's the type of person who is Jack's ideal follower - one who probably wouldn't dream of questioning her narrative and who would send her money. £20 is absolutely nothing to Jack, but it's a huge amount to people with real financial hardship.
The thing is, I don’t think Jack would ever look to see who gave her money. She’s too up her own arse, has absolutely no interest whatsoever in her followers (including the ones who give her money) & is so privileged and middle class that she probably thinks everyone has spare cash to fling to an urchin like her. I don’t think she’d even think twice of people giving her cash normally, particularly as she also genuinely seems to think she’s ‘hard up’ because she’s not a millionaire, isn’t a genuine celebrity and doesn’t live in a 5 bedroom house & have a property empire like her parents.

That’s why Tattle is actually a public service. Given that she reads here quicker than she reads a Rebus book (her choice to do that, nobody’s forcing her, m’lud) she’s forced to see who these people are that are giving her money. She’s being presented with differing opinions. Given her increasing tantrums whenever anyone so much as says they cook chicken with a different type of oil, I suspect it’s causing cognitive dissonance at the very least. In essence, you fraus and herrs are acting as her conscience. Initially it won’t do much but the more she tantrums and the more she tries to justify things (to herself and the world) the more it will unravel.

Just my opinion, your honour. Now fuck off!

Couldn’t believe what I was reading....so just been on a quick trawl. The £20 donor is registered deaf, and by the nature of being in receipt of the warm winter grant must be on a very limited income......and the trolley dispatcher was complaining to her council about them taking extra council tax and leaving her skint with no food very recently. Perhaps not as bad as the kitten episode, but one must ask where all the kitten money has gone? So desperately sad. No wonder she’s a mess and can’t sleep.

Anyone with even a smidge of decency must find living her life an absolute misery. I would sooner beg and go through bins than be in that bungalow right now.

And before she (or anyone else for that matter!) thinks I am privileged to say such a thing, yes, I spent £19 taking my kids to pick pumpkins today, at a farm only accessible by car, but I also defrosted an 800g pack of reduced mince steak overnight and used it to batch cook 6 portions of chilli (two tins of KTC beans added along with KTC tinned toms, half tin sweet corn, onion and mushroom and spices), 3 portions of cottage pie (onion, mushroom, carrots and frozen peas added, along with stock etc) and three portions of Bolognese - more tinned toms, onion, mushroom, garlic and a jar of Lidl sauce. I have often done the same but with soaked lentils instead of mince - even cheaper and healthier but my kids do love their meat (unfortunately!). I doubt it cost a fiver all in and although it is all in dangerously sloppy territory, the chilli will be with jackets, the bolognese for a lasagne and the cottage pie with broccoli and green beans so some chewing will be required!

Wow. Patreon is a ‘pile of admiiiiiin’? How about pausing and thanking people for subscribing and sending her money for recipes they could easily google and a few sporadic postcards, instead of complaining about it?! Seriously, if this doesn’t make people realise how entitled and ungrateful she is for the financial help she receives, then I don’t know what will!

Sheer malevolent, threatening energy just seeping from her

View attachment 280504
I'm doing a bit of a catch up (again) so this might have already been said. She "declined offers of money" is just so untrue. She has a tip jar and Patreon for a start, so far from declining it, she has created a method they can donate it! That is before all the subtle and not so subtle hints at her being in financial difficulty.

Finally, she has taken money given out of someone's benefits........let that sink in. Totally despicable and beneath contempt.

She is so low she could walk under a snake's belly while wearing a top hat.

A quick trawl through the archives for her poverty timeline:

In 2014, her life had changed beyond recognition and she acknowledged that she was not poor anymore: https://www.archive.is/oldest/https.../sep/11/jack-monroe-five-recipes-new-cookbook

This was when she was trying to just be a food writer - no mention of weetabix or jam(!): https://www.archive.is/oldest/https...g-kids-food-is-more-than-fuel-pancake-recipes

But that didn't work for her. She can't cook, so if she's not rinsing beans nobody cares about her recipes, and her second book didn't do well.

She was dropped by Sainsbury's in late 2014 for her vile comment about David Cameron's son. She also parted ways with her original publisher around that time (she variously got dropped for being trans or left because she wanted to produce a cookbook on a much faster timeframe - lol).

Around the third book (Kickstarter), she became Permanently Poor. Why? Because she's not good enough to have a career as a normal food writer. She needs a gimmick, and hers is poverty.

She is gross.

I think Jack is losing the plot now, she must know that she's been rumbled.
I think the reason she deleted her comments there was NOT because she realised she’d been incredibly rude and unpleasant BUT RATHER it was because those comments made it clear that Jack knows that person in real life. That’s a major cock up on Jack’s part, cos that person made comments about Jack’s many expensive things and luxurious lifestyle - and it might therefore dawn in her followers that this person knows what she’s talking about.

I'm aware of Jack, I know 'of' her & this thread, I've scrolled through it a few times so I have the measure of her. Whilst scrolling through Twitter when doing the night feed, she had been retweeted or liked so appeared on my timeline so I fell down the rabbit hole of reading down her feed. I hate to be 'that person' as I haven't avidly read all the posts on here - but why is she claiming to be so poor ? Wasn't she in a relationship with a fairly well known tv personality, as I would say Jack is herself ? For someone who is in her position - tv cook, published books etc, £20 a week for a food shop seems very odd.
Also, I would sell the clothes of my back & all my belongings (including my expensive smart phone & digital radios!) before I served my children a constant diet of 'cooking' bacon, cheap sausages & kidney bean curry !! I
Does her long & complex list of ailments include a personality disorder ? As this just seems attention seeking & woe is me as it just doesn't add up at all !

I think the trolley begging incident is so specific and so potentially exposing for her that she will do something about it, blaming this site in the process. Also the vulnerable people who donated her might not want to be involved.
#92 trolling for trolleys

She's as jealous af.
At least Stacey isn't encouraging panic buying, scamming benefit claimants or sucking up to the Tory party's rhetoric about poor people's fecklessness.




Agree. I’d like to see her present the range of programmes Stacey does. She might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but she does have a good thing going at the moment.


Oh I’ve never seen these. I don’t have instagram so don’t think there’s anyway to watch them.
You can just look her up on Instagram via the tattle Instagram viewer in the left hand menu. I don’t think she’s currently locked or cartoonified for protection purposes
