Jack Monroe #295 Yeah I already read that. Didn't inspire much hope in me.

Unfortunately it is 181 for 2. So not looking like a sufficient meal given the amount of rice next to the sausages.

I apologise for this post. It’s really hard at the moment.

Hangs head in shame. I was looking at real sausages . I forgot about the frozen muck Asda pretends is edible
 
This, for me, is somehow one of her worst ever slops. I don’t know why I hate it so much, but it’s just so grim and tit and makes it so infuriating that the squigs think she’s a literal food expert. Oh my days…. 🤦‍♀️
I think it's the wasted effort that goes into something so unappetising that makes it so grim. I don't know what she doesn't just makes some super noodles and add some veg and protein, or make an omelette
 
I’m up to Jack’s ear and lymph node infection, and I have actually lost my voice. (it could be due to queuing at 5am for World Record Store Day in the cold waiting for the Taylor Swift vinyl) but yes, I have no voice and swollen glands since Sunday. Have I gone to work? Yep. Have I complained about it? Nope. Have I behaved like a child who has grazed their knee wanting everyone running after me? Nope.

She would bleeping love to lose her voice as it’s another thing to get sympathy for. Not that I believe there is anything at all wrong with her, she just wanted to make sure everyone knew SB was coming for tea and that OH hadn’t dumped her. That poor boy, on his visitation with Mum having her new partner shoehorned in, he mustn’t know if he’s coming or going with that constant stream of partners.
To be honest I would love for her to lose her voice. The silence would indeed be golden.
 
look, she’s not well but she still clawed her way to the kitchen and concoct this dry, claggy, gruel with bollock bangers for a family supper. I’ve adapted a little hymn for her, she might remember it from her days of being a ‘Sunday school teacher’:

🎶🎶…Ears are hurty Jack, pumble-ah

Glands are swelling Jack, pumble-ah

Books aren’t selling Jack, Pumble-ah

Please Jack, no pumble-ah!! 🎶🎶
 
spoilering again as to do with weight

she was clearly in a bad place last year as she was very thin. This isn’t a criticism of thin people but she admits that she was in the middle of a relapse. Theres zero wrong with her having put weight on but stop lying to yourself. There is no way you could eat those portions and be as active as you claim to be and be the weight you are unless you have a super fast metabolism and just can’t keep weight on. Just be honest that you eat more than is in those food plans.

Grunking so not sure where this will land and apologies if someone has already said it, but it’s pretty much impossible to tell what’s going on with Jacks weight because she has a track record of shopping herself, especially her face, to look extremely thin, at times when she wants people to feel sorry for her (eg after DKL and SHE LEFT). The woman I saw on TV in Jan looked to be a perfectly normal and average weight for a mum in her 30s. She also didn’t look much like the waif she shops herself into on SM. I wouldn’t normally give a shite about this behaviour as it’s endemic amongst influencers but for someone who claims to be a former ED sufferer, it’s really horrible, false, gaslighting behaviour, especially when coupled with her ridiculous tales of noshing down huge quantities of food like a little goblin. As a former ED sufferer myself I don’t doubt she has food issues, but I press X to doubt on a decade of AN. It’s all just so….URGH.
 
Do people actually listen to podcasts WITH their OH’s partners?
She has no telly?! What else she going to do, bore them to death with her idol chit chat.

Also doesn't the OH seem to stop over alot, I mean fair enough up to them but my friends mum other half only stayed over once a week for years because she didn't want to disrupt my friend and her sibling too much. I mean for the last two years bar the rehab stint if he does indeed live at home he had his mum all to himself. It's alot for a kid to deal with. COVID stuff, loss of partner, mum very sick, new partner.

Dunno I find it odd and he's trooper.
 
Def an essay coming up:
... As I promiscuously stirred the risotto, working through the blinding pain in my earholes, with no one there to help me cook in my rented house, I had to laugh. Our experiences are so overlooked and arrogant toffs like [him off twitter] just don't know how the other half live... (Continues for 5000 words) yours, Jack Monroe [photo of jack grinning next to a Pumble]

So my Dad was cleaning out the cupboard under the stairs a couple of years back and found a rogue Just Seventeen of mine from 1985 (45p)

Particularly for Fraus of a certain age, but…

In 1985 jelly was good for your nails. Unlike Jack, Terry Duckworth wasn’t into Eastenders. Also, 80s Nick Fisher all up in Jack’s niche!
I went to school with his sister
 
Does anyone know if you have to pass a credit check to have broadband? I know some insurances if you pay monthly it’s a year long sort of credit agreement, imagine where broadband has minimum terms it’d be the same? Which means major yikes at her financial health if she can’t get broadband in her own name & clearly can’t leave this rental either.
Not sure if already answered, but yes you do (for some suppliers at least). I recently took out a new contract and it was a hard credit check for a 2 year deal. Possible reason for not having it IMO if she was cut off and can't take out a new contract.
 
She’s shared that guy before. I personally don’t get it. I understand why he wants to move out of his parents home but he says he’s crowdfunding a deposit but his personal income will pay for the mortgage.

I assume that he’s looking for shared ownership and he has the money to pay the mortgage but just not the deposit?

Looks like his offer was rejected and someone offered more for the flat he wanted. 150k

Going back to Jack I don’t have broadband nor a telly. There’s nothing up with that. My broadband went wonky in lockdown so I got it cancelled and then lockdown carried on and I didn’t get it installed in my new flat and I don’t need it

I personally don’t care if she has a telly or broadband. If she has a tv licence she can watch bbc I player and Eastenders on her bloody phone . Not everything has to be a fuss.
