Happy New Year you ninnies! 🥂🎉🎉🥂🎉

Still on the grunk (twas ever thus) but just had to jump to real time after seeing Switch's amazing NASA Jacks 🤣 I'd totally forgotten double bodysuit Jack and I'm feeling honoured that my stitched Slopbot managed to find himself in mission control. ❤

Jack Monroe #234 A Grifty Kind of Self-Love

Do you reckon 2022 will see "Monroe's MUA on a budget"? I can't wait for her to get a contour kit tbh. She's deffo going to do a YouTube tutorial at some point now that all the squiggles are desperate to know her secrets isn't she...

Happy New Year fraus!

Once again, this year has produced some fantastic threads, including some topical content too!

Apologies, I can't remember who was the genius behind this

We had one when I was a kid. I'm not bothering, as fizzy water is easily available for bugger all money now - it would take many years before a sodastream ever made its money back.

I love mine. It’s about the same cost as buying cheap fizzy water except no carrying bottles of water/getting water delivered/plastic bottles.
Also if you buy dry white wine you can put that in it
 
I can count on one hand how often I have imbibed per year and I've never been drunk. Most of my friends are similar, it is fairly normal amongst my generation not to drink these days. Jack makes a big to-do about it because she is deflecting. If it's not cocaine then it's something else (not necessarily drugs or illegal one but I would put money on it being a substance given some of her appearances/comments/chaoses). On a different note, it would be quite funny if the real reason Jack hadn't submitted her tax return because she doesn't want us and the squigs to see how rich she is. Whilst I think she definitely doesn't want us to know, she is in reality too chaotic and lazy to be that organised.

On the topic of soft drinks, if I want a treat, I go for Fentimans Curiosity Cola or their Cherry Cola. It's delicious and sweetener free so kinder to my ibs tummy than actual Coca Cola which gives me palpitations and other nasty symptoms.
 
Omg yes Poca, the whisky kombucha 😂 such a perfect example of her instant expert attitude, like the time she said she thought she could easily make a diabetic vegan Creme Egg out of natural sweetener (unrefined sugar is still sugar, Nutritionist Jack) and xanthan gum. Needless to say, she did not work on it for fun or otherwise and I for one thank LJC she never did because that sounds RANK.

If she's not been here for months, why was she bitching about the spiral staircase thing in diva.pdf? I don't recall any squigs challenging her on the architectural nature of her staircase.

Read this as "dylon the carpets" and had a momentary vision of her dyeing the carpets murky grey-black like half her wardrobe. 😭

More mimosas needed to get rid of the fact that I didn't even question that that seemed like a thing she would do.

If she ever finds the DIY on a Budget Facebook group, that bungalow is finished. Dyloning carpets sounds exactly up their street. I’ve seen threads about wallpapering stairs and making floors out of old pennies and resin. Plus that gold spray will be on everything.

As others have pointed out, the being pressured to drink thing is pretty old fashioned. I’m an older millennial and find people my own age and younger don’t tend to go out to get piss drunk. If you want to slow down or just not drink at all, that’s fine, especially if you’re giving lifts home.

If she’s an alcoholic, she should probably avoid non-alcoholic versions of beer, wine etc. Apparently it can cause people to fall into old habits. But what do I know? I’m a sad old Frau who laughs at her misfortune.

I suppose she does have a point, it was needlessly cruel of us to burgle her house on New Year's. I did say we should've waited until mid-January. Do you know how difficult it is to find a skip for hire at this time of year?? Ah well, third time lucky as they say.

Oh who has the energy for burglary in January? Plus we needed her grandad's special milk pan to make out delicious new year's eve hot chocolates.

I feel uncomfortable discussing Jack's sobriety journey because that is her path but I do have a strong feeling this is the first time she has REALLY attempted the steps.

There’s no one here that does not support Jack in being sober. It’s Jack who thinks everyone else has a problem with it. Much like when she was vegan, no one would bat an eyelid sausage about it but she feels the need to jump on her high horse and furiously lecture everyone before ultimately giving up on it altogether. She should just get on with her life and focus on all the many positives rather than getting angry and looking for validation on Twitter.

Anything with artificial anything sends my IBD gut into a tailspin. I need the full sugar version of everything. The hospital I’ve just done placement in only had sugar free in the staff canteen. I had to go to BOOTS THE CHEMIST to get my sugary kick.
