LOL I missed this at the time, who the hell says "I shan't" when "I won't" will suffice? She's like that annoying child in Bly Manor who keeps saying "perfectly splendid".I've been away for a couple of days so on an IncyGrunk, see she's being a complete cowbag still but this did make me giggle#thread31

Please use them, and don't feel guilty
It’s also possible that the property empire is not that huge. Maybe some of it was mortgaged and needed to be sold off. And it would I guess have been divided among the family, so also Jack’s uncles/aunts on her dad’s side. Whatever Jack’s dad inherited, she’s probably going to have to wait a while for it (her parents are only mid 50’s), and then it will be divided probably between at least the 4 siblings, and possibly even between grandkids as well. So Jack may not end up getting that much, if anything, and she may be in her 70’s by that time.
I could also imagine that it might be tricky letting a property to a relative - they might be less likely to keep up payments if they think they can try it on.
I’m just grunkaing so I don’t know where this will land but I feel like there is so much hard evidence about what Jack has done/failed to do and is still doing/is failing to do that there’s no need for conjecture. Without wishing to moderate of course. I think boundaries are easily crossed when she’s quiet and we fill the space up with ‘what might be’ scenarios and we can’t pat ourselves on the back comparative to other threads if that happens. That’s why it was good when we had bum mints and willy mash while she fucked off for a nap.
It's a secret to everyone including Marcus Rashford.
Which is not to say she's harmless, she's more of an emotional manipulator. (sorry for all the posts, just catching up).

I know what you mean about not being deliberately cruel, but narcissism can drive people to behaviour which does hurt those around them.
I fully believe she doesn't do it intentionally, her family, pets, followers, etc, will just be collateral damage. It's a lack of empathy. So if you can get "likes" for a funny or tragic story that may humiliate someone and cause psychological harm, you tell it anyway because those "likes" from strangers mean more than the people around you being hurt.
Like the food bank video earlier. I am sure she didn't mean to devastate her family when she said that biscuits from a food bank made her realise that someone felt she was human (or words to that effect). The casual listener may be shocked to learn that in fact she has loving, supportive parents and family who, from what she says, did what they could to give her a comfortable upbringing and a start in life and are supportive to this day (apart from her brother)
The damage narcs inflict is not always due to deliberate cruelty, but because they say and do the most callous, cruel things without thinking of anything other than feeding the narc beast within.
I know there are much more important things to discuss today, but doesn‘t this totally contrast her “military around the edges” comments?

Jack Monroe #88 Jack, sell the Emin!
I was just looking for the Chinese chicken curry recipe and stumbled upon this https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/dec/11/jack-monroe-chicken-casserole-recipe Keeping it real in the comments section, just like all self-respecting food writers do. Historical gems available by...

Totally agree @Alansbigplate way too much conjecture, when a lot of the stuff that we know for a fact JM has done is heinous! Willie mash you say......
I think we're also quite lucky in that Jack does a chaos at least 3 or 4 times a week, and there's always some utter bullshit on her Twitter worth chatting about on the in-between days. Other threads have much less material to work with and so they turn to crazed conspiracy theories which just end up getting nasty and strange.
I'm away on a little COVID safe UK break and I've just seen this in the room....is it a you know what?!

I didn't sleep all night after re-reading the ESSAY I WROTE. Christ she just loves herself.
Her own writing is so powerful and emotive it keeps her awake at night.
Edit: tit, beaten to it!
Stepping back from the conversation = Friday night twitter chaos?
Not sure, it looks like the argos one, but I'm happy to be wrongI'm away on a little COVID safe UK break and I've just seen this in the room....is it a you know what?!
Oh ... get over yourself!
Thanks everyone who replied 
I think you are right about SB especially given the fact that he has another family who would spot that sort of thing right away. It's hard to not see warning signs when you've lived that experience yourself and it does make you question everything.
The food thing concerns me a lot though. Deliberately feeding her child low welfare low quality meat whilst she eats the higher quality stuff is very selfish and a bit disturbing. If indeed it is true. Her actions mess with your head because she can be so vague.

I had to step back ‘Cos I got the eye wets when I emotively emoted myself. Bore off, Jack!
Nobody asked you, you’ve got nothing of substance to add, thankyou

I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’re so right. And without wanting to totally undo your important point about back-patting, posts like yours here are why I really love reading these threads. There‘s so many points that open my eyes, challenge my perspective, or just make me think “oh, I hadn’t thought of it that way”. And it’s happening now, as I remind myself never to get complacent about things.
Now duck off! x
