Jack Monroe #240 Schwankend

She's got a far bigger addiction to shopping than I imagined. It's completely out of control. I used to do shit like that when I wa speeding.

just checking in to make sure @kachoochoo has added easy care info for Nazi cutlery to the list

The best care info for the squig's cutlery is DO NOT let it fall into the grifter's grubby mitts.

So the spoons cost £105 total, but how much sodding Brasso is she going to need to clean the whole filthy hoard?

clean

 

[Morrisey]

clean

I know, what was I thinking?
Queue mugs/bowls of slop with a mank encrusted spoon plonked in them

Thanks for the new thread @Silver Linings

I posted this at the end of the last thread, but I really feel it is too good a counting opportunity to miss..... please forgive my indulgence!

I have 12 big spoons, 6 soup spoons, 4 tea spoons (where the fuck do they all go?) That's my main cutlery draw. Then I have a posh (£40 from Argos in a fancy satin lined box) set for Crimbo and the like which has 8 big spoons, 8 soup spoons and 8 tea spoons, plus 2 serving spoons.

Therefore, in my household of 2 normal adults, we have 48 spoons. This is excessive, I am going to list them on ebay for Jack to purchase for a hefty fee.

How many spoons do you have cabal??

6 teaspoons, 5 pudding spoons, a big stirrer/serving spoon and a ladle.
If that was me - and thank LJC I'm not - I'd be off pronto with all the silver hallmarked ones to flog as scrap.

Ehhhm, about 20 maybe ranging from the teaspoon my sibling stole and shoved in my handbag one drunken evening to ladles…

'Easy care for Nazi cutlery..' has killed me!
I have genuinely hurt myself laughing.

Not one drop of Brasso will be needed. She won't bother cleaning them.

We've all seen her rancid brass kettle

It reminds me of the twitter posts that used to be popular, when people are like 'this just came through the post, I have no recollection of ordering it, must have been stoned out my tree' and there's a pic of the most hideous T shirt ever (generally with a wolf printed on it, much like Jack's old duvet cover), or 10,000 boxes of Haribo Tangfastics or whatever.

If she displays her grotty old utensils in her worn boots, what’s she going to stick her cutlery in?

I am by no means a minimalist, but all the images I’ve seen of her kitchen stuff gives me anxiety. No wonder moving is such a monumental task for her.

Brand new member, longtime lurker here! I joined to say I found the eBay listing for the vintage cutlery!

Cutlery sets vintage | eBay

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Cutlery sets vintage all stamped can't add all stamped pictures but if need anymore pictures send me a message and will send quick return.collection preferably but can post.</p>

www.ebay.co.uk

As you can see where Jack claims to have just purchased two sets - actually 7 were included in the listing - looks like maybe only a couple of extras were thrown in (assuming they weren't also just purchased) - plus that little Rolex spoon was already part of the bundle (as it's pictured on the original listing). And while it's true the listing was under £70 (£60 as sold), there was also £45 postage bringing the total to the sum of £105!

£45 postage!!!!

 

[EllaEm87]

What purpose did it serve to lie about how she acquired them?! Why the big hoo-haa about having things thrown in for free as a second thought from the seller? Why?!

She wants people to think she's frugal.

 

[Imainlylurk]

She wants people to think she's frugal.

But also, cannot help but embellish and draw attention. The more sensible approach would be to not post about your frivolous eBay purchases at all.

 

[EllaEm87]

She wants people to think she's frugal.

The price was the same price though?! so instead of getting more for less money, it made her look like she was buying more spendy things and got some muddy puddle gifts for free? I’m genuinely confused!

Confession, we have loads of cutlery. We buy to sell on, esp bone handled stuff.
Very saleable, she didn’t get from us. Fish knives and forks are stupid and never sell. None of what Jack brought is quality, you can pick up boxes of it at auctions £10-20 a box. Now good stuff is another matter.
The postage on that lot would be horrendous.

[Mr Krabs]

I’ve just noticed in that fireplace pic there are four pairs of DMs (£100 a pop) plus the Mulberry bag. Like a grands worth of stuff and it looks like trashed shit.

How can she use the #homeonabootstrap tag and keep a straight face?

Spoiler: Drinking mentions

Please correct me if I am wrong, because this is not an area which I am familiar with, but if you have stopped drinking (for whatever reason) and what to continue to not drink, why would it be a good idea to have the old bottles in full view in your house? Surely they would be behavioural or emotional triggers in some way? This post seems to me yet another clue that she has no idea what people who are truly going through addiction issues are suffering.

 

[FlirtyThirty]

Why hasn’t a squig just looked on eBay all the sycophantic “oh so deserved!” “Lucky you!” “Nicer person <3” I WANT TO VOMIT. She sits on a throne of lies made of spoons.
