Re tipjars: I know a few bloggers who have a 'buy me a coffee' button on their website but they are crochet or knitting bloggers who provide free patterns on a small scale, so it really is repaying them for their work - which is always more in depth than that of Jack tit, with step by step photos etc.
I stand corrected, mine didn’t really grow back after 1994!To be fair I’m the same age as Jack. Thin brows were still big in the 00s when we were teens. I know a few girls our age who have ruined their brows.
Personally I a) didn’t overdo it because I was an unfashionable outcast And b) have very hairy eyebrowswouldn’t surprise me if Jack was similar and is exaggerating how much she plucked them at the time. And getting her decades wrong.
Why does she think she’s in her 40s?
I have no objection at all to bloggers having tip jars. I see it as being a bit like busking - chucking in the odd quid is just a way of saying I like what you're doing. If Jack wasn't blatantly misleading people then she'd be as entitled as anyone to tips.
Oh, I agree. It was just talk of them earlier.
Does it weigh more than the 93kgs of sideboard that you lifted with ease earlier this year? If not I call bullshit. What am I thinking of course it's bullshit, you already said last night you weren't continuing with the £20 fake poverty shop because of all the nameless pricks, dickheads and sentient hams having the AUDACITY to steal your life's work.
FRAUD. CHARLATAN. GRIFTER. THIEF.
Now duck off.
This is insane, like so good that they want to help and I can't knock that person for that even if they are a jackolyte...but if you're not sure, why wouldn't you contact the food bank itself? And most drop off points have a list of what is most needed and what is actually not that helpful, not hard to work out.
Not sure if this has already been posted. I wonder what effect he’d have on oor Jackie?
I wondered if it was them wanting to buy things that food banks are in shorter supply of, as a lot of people will put a tin of beans in or a packet of rice, but personal hygiene products, nappies, etc are often missed...could be wrong though. If they're asking for stuff that isn't fancy then shame on them.“Desperately, achingly middle class” - is that you, Jack?
I don’t really understand the question. Are they afraid of wasting good money on food that is too FANCY for poor people to eat? Do they not realise that food bank users are hardly going to be fussy? If that’s their opinion of the impoverished then just get some bags of pasta and sauce jars and be done with it

Leave it with me I would be more than happy to show the likes of Jack what you can do on a budget! Won't involve the word cheap or raw!

Someone has since suggested it was a joke, which it does read like on reflection but you never know with Twitter
I hope it is otherwise it does sound very stuck up
How can she sleep at night knowing people are actively donating to her, a solvent person with enough money to kit her house out with overpriced rubbish and shop at Ocado every week, instead of donating it to charities that help feed children who next week probably wouldn’t have had a hot meal at all because of our government?
Shut your bleeping tip jar and Twitter and get to duck away from this. Everything you touch turns to lies, grift and tit anyway.

I know. But it is a step in the right direction. Hopefully it will encourage donations.'I've shut down my tip jar for now so people with a bit of spare cash can put it somewhere useful '
Sorry...wishful thinking
I like to see Jack doing the right thing, even if I have doubts about her motives.
I took it that way too @Cuileann. Also, earlier in lockdown @BeautifulTrauma produced some really helpful guidelines to food bank donations based on volunteering at one, advice I still use

In regards to the comments about her partner. Surely no decent person would want to be with someone as vile as Jack? I bet they’re as bad as each other. Announcing she’s done a good deed makes it much less of a good deed. Anyone who feels the need to make a show of being a good person probably...

I’m sure given the current above “normal” usage of food banks across the country they wouldn’t turn away any donation, but you’re right, I’m sure there’s some stuff that’s in shorter supply than others that might be more useful than the umpteenth ton of (rinseable) beans...
But bollock sausages, yes?!?!
The feed your family for ‘about’ £20 a week thing has been going for years (not Jack) it started as a Facebook group years ago and it grew. Hardly a stolen concept when it’s been a thing since forever anyway.
I suspect the top tweet is the reason Wor Jackie back-pedalled to the squiggle and apologised.
Or am I just being cynical, m’lud

Also, hi, longish time reader.
Have been Jack fan, but I don’t do blind loyalty and she’s been behaving somewhat shittily for a while.

Two and a half grand or similar I believe? My collegue at work had them@Sooverthat please do post the meal plan. Sounds great.
Very VERY much doubt she got those Invisalign on the NHS.
Lot of ear worms today. I've got "Money,money,money" by Abba in my head .
for the next thread title!
