Yes!!! I cannot imagine a skip full of consumer items? What the fuck?! Like she’s the Amazon warehouse and it’s returned stock being destroyed?! Southend is a nice area you’re telling me there’s not a regifting/no buy Facebook page that lot couldn’t have gone on? She doesn’t know of any community groups that could have made use of *any* of it?!

What shocks me is we’ve done a whole house #reno and had ONE skip!! ONE! And about 3 dump visits! People re used our old carpets (they knocked and asked cos it was outside waiting to go in my car to the dump) and underlay, so much weird stuff got taken out the skip, then for normal day to day bits you’ve got so many community groups that would happily take them!! ffs like there really is a need/appetite for recycling items now and social media makes it a million times easier! This isn’t even considering eBay / vinted / whatever. It’s actually insanity for anyone to consume that much. I feel the same about her colour co ordinated book shelves, beloved buy yourself a flat you’ve had more than enough £ to do so!
 
Not sure how this might be policed but Jack's well known for pile ons.

I have got about ten bags out of my flat in the past month, it’s been a few years since I did my first Marie Kondo so it wasn’t massively cluttered. All of it went to be re-used 😇 toys, craft stuff, household items, unwanted gifts, clothes which don’t fit, all given away. Collected from me, via olio. Ragged textiles cut up, old shoes, all in the recycling point for materials. I have one bag still to go, broken electrical items because the recycle bin is a journey away so I will make a trip especially.
The amount of shit she owns gives me anxiety.

Weren't they 'community skips'? Something I've never come across.

The October skip was the community skip. No mention of the April skip being a community skip, as far as I remember. I haven't read back, though.

I am assuming Jack didn't have a skip on her drive for over six months because that would be ridiculous.

Sorry for typing skip 527 times in one post.

There are many Southend groups like that but this is Jack Monroe, minor celeb and fear of the stalker we’re talking about. How could she possibly join those groups without being mithered?!

Just 40 weeks ago, the pain of the poverty was so ingrained it hurt like a whole load of GCSE English Lit course work word salad and that’s why she’s so thirsty sorry thrifty. (if anyone wants a good hoot, frugal tips saved on her stories on IG are hilarious)

Jack is one of the least thrifty people I've ever witnessed. It's all a performance!

I do like that she has a special section in her wardrobe just for playing poor, grotty looking jumpers and ill fitting traaaazers, to really get that poverty aesthetic on point.

Not sure it even matters what she's wearing, she somehow manages to make the glorious Viv (RIP) look cheap the minute she puts it on. Now *that's* a talent.

As I said before, that kind of writing is actually quite sought after. In writers of cheap fiction for pulpy magazines or Mills and Boon novels.

You can just imagine her at the doctors explaining her pain, speaking as she writes and getting all the adjectives wrong.

"Ohhh doctor the pain is so immersive, it ingratiates itself throughout my whole skeletal being. It feels like my crushingly cold driven torments are wrapped up in a dagger puncturing my very bones. I long for a single day to be free of this manifest suffering.

Can I have some strong painkillers please?"
