Also saw this on FB this morning. This isn't Jack's niche but she wishes it was!

My favourite bit was what we've often said

'Lorri, who picks up all the ingredients from the budget ranges in Lidl, Aldi and Tesco, says the key to cutting costs is to buy vegetables individually in the exact quantity you require to reduce food waste'

Still bored here. Can't sleep so I looked for Jack on FB and she hasn't posted since Feb 22nd.

Log time lurker, first time poster. I can't believe I've joined Tattle the week she's buggered off! Thank you to all you wonderful Fraus and Herrs whose sense of humour has kept me going through lockdown - the warmth, wit, decency and general loveliness of the people on this thread has kept me chuckling during a tough time. Looking forward to being part of the canal/cabal/cable

I felt exactly the same when I first joined! Welcome to the Cable

Oh welcome and don’t worry, there will be a chaos soon....there always is

Is she still home and away? Or is she just home?

It's the perfect time to join. The lull gives you time to catch up! xx

I am FURIOUS. Just doing my daily lockdown crossword () and was properly stuck on one across. The clue was untruthful (ten letters). I finally gave up, revealed word and.......

I can feel Vlad laughing all the way from Russia

ETA: Joined after THAT man baiting, thought I was the only Jack doubter. Just got a new login because my other was too easy to triangulate

 

[Powershower]

Right folks. I have spent 2.5 hours in a bath and I'm trying to redeem myself by cooking the fam roast, seeing it's Sunday and all. Hit me up with your best tricks. Serious propositions only

Depends, how many slow cookers have you got?

Thanks for new thread @Pocahontas

Fraus, I had my memories pop up on Facebook this morning and saw to my dismay that I had shared a post from Jack Monroe's Facebook page 6 years ago re: donating tins to foodbanks.

Obviously the message was well intentioned but it did make me cringe. It was the one where she had donated 60 crates of food with her name all over them

These?

Not one to donate to charity quietly is Jack.

Bet she was gifted those things to begin with too! Grifters gonna grift.

How does she not cringe herself to death?

Thank you @Pocahontas . Have been doing a bit of research. Thread #26 Among the sideboards some damn fine film chat. Would love to see Midsommar. Thought Hereditary was outstanding. Wicker Man I watched some scenes being filmed when I was on holiday in Scotland aged 11 (Yes I'm old)

Oh I'm a big fan of the folk/horror genre that's sounds so interesting I will definitely check the thread #26 out.
I agree that's so cool you actually saw some scenes of the Wicker Man being filmed I'm a big fan of that movie) and also Robin redbreast (always gives me the chills).
So thanks for mentioning that!
It's amazing the diverse range of interests and experiences that come up on a Jack Monroe thread (that's what makes it interesting I think?)

Ooh the Meghan and Harry threads are a ride! I dipped my toe in when I first joined tattle and back then it was non stop criticism of Meghan and the threads were dominated by certain members who were characters to say the least. I don't know what the truth is behind the royal stuff but I do wonder if they left because Andrew is a n.
Back on topic Jack is an attention seeking peacock or peacunt with those labels on the donated tins.

Genuinely one of life's great mysteries.

Rude of Twitter not to have sent out a search party for their most active user tbh

Maybe Jack IS actually away? Nipped up to Scotland again. Or London. For a week*.

*No basis for this idle speculation whatsoever.

These guys are great, really fun but also amazing weight lifting videos. The Kilted Yogis do some fun videos too. Especially good if you like men in kilts and very little else.
