Two years ago tomorrow “may have been of of the best days of her life.”

We await the SS and equally excitable comments from the Lorraine segment tomorrow.

Baited breath guys. My breath is baited. If it can bait.

My phone just inexplicably notified me of the LFC - Man U results despite it never having given a tit about football before and my own knowledge being stuck somewhere in 1998. So even my phone is more interested in Liverpool than Jack is. Also YNWA Jack gives me proper 'hello, fellow kids' vibes.

Apparently you could watch it on Amazon if you paid more money.

Watching plastic people sell million dollar houses to more plastic people seemed more fun. Didn’t see any spiders though which was a relief*.

Some people genuinely do have empty fridges/freezers/cupboards though, Jack. They don't have the luxury of topping up the £20 with hoarded food, and those using food banks can have little choice in what they do receive. Her recipes help so few, her ideas are just plain stupid.

This meal planning lark is just offensive (as per). She is a LITERAL expert on nothing.

We have an excellent pair of ladies at our Foodbank & community Pantry who produce recipe sheets (usually taking <10 mins) based on what supplies we're giving out in bags that day. This is particularly helpful when we have a glut of certain items & suggest a batch cook of a couple of meals.
 
Has Jack tweeted yet about the amazing performance by Liverpool against arguably their biggest rivals?

Thought not. We all knew she was adopting SB’s personality as her own for the day as she can’t let him have something for himself.

And my origin story was I was a thread one girl, I remember reading her tweets and thinking ‘who the duck does she think she is’, then a Mumsnet thread was deleted and a random person messaged to tell me to come to Tattle. Just as the first thread was set up. Here we are two and a bit years later, time flies.

Hello!

So I actually am on holiday, however I follow all kinds of local Facebook groups and on Sunday a young woman posted. She’s eight months pregnant, with NO FOOD whatsoever in her home and no money, it’s Easter Sunday with all stores closed and she has absolutely nothing to eat.

Jack, as you can see, this young woman didn’t have some bananas or cereal or chicken breasts or expensive fish in her cupboards she had NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH, and couldn’t get any council help until the weekend is over. These are the types of people that need budgeting help Jack, not middle classes wanting to save a few quid. This person will need to learn how to make her weekly shop stretch and here’s you tweeting about 2p rice, it’s not 2p if you don’t have any in you performative twit.

I know you’ll read this, so how about you stop dicking around writing your name in bubble writing to feel important and actually THINK about your target demographic. It’s not who you’re catering to right now with this performative bollocks.

And in a kind of happy ending, with over 200 comments, the young girl was fed and has cupboards full of food now. But it shouldn’t be down to strangers to help out, and imagine the embarrassment she must have felt telling thousands of people she’s hungry. Jack doesn’t know how good she’s got it.

Jack will read this and in her fucked up head, she’ll be like: “yep. Been there”’

ohhh, this has just reminded me that my photo memory thing pointed out that yesterday was one year since this exchange that made me jump out of my skin!

My first introduction to Jack was via the kitten drama :( and I thought 'wtf, who behaves like that?' Did some Googling and found that Jack Monroe behaves like that. Mystery solved thanks to Tattle!

The kitten era was the one time when I truly thought about leaving Tattle. Animals, especially young animals are so precious and need to be cared for well. Jack using that kitten the way she did and not listening to a word any vet said was when it absolutely made my mind up what a disgusting, vile person she is.

The threads were not a fun place to be during this, and we lost a lot of great members who just couldn’t cope with the level of cruelty Jack displayed.
 
I think Jack's approach to meal planning is broadly the same as her approach to book writing.

In Jackland, you buy a load of random tit and THEN "meal plan" for hours deciding how to use up the random crap by making things like banana skin and offal surprise, and cooking bacon and pear porridge.

Also in Jackland, you submit a finished manuscript to your publisher (that happened, right?) and THEN you write and edit the manuscript.

These are the genius maverick ways of JM.
