Jack Monroe #378 Where can I lodge a complaint about Jack Monroe?

[Limey]

Why dilute the washing up liquid? Just squirt less into the bowl/sink, surely? No?

But then you can't count the dilution as one of your 100 hours of work.

 

[Jemadah]

750g of table salt seems a lot for a month.
Perhaps she's confusing it with msg.

Or confusing it with fridge volts.

Exactly. I just cannot get my head around this. It gets diluted when you squirt it into the washing-up water, surely?

I feel like the journalist in Spinal Tap and Jack is Nigel Tufnel explaining to me how it “goes to 11”.

 

[Ooointitot]

There’s no bloody time for recaps Fraus let’s go

I’ve gone hysterical again.
CAN WE ALL JUST DECLARE A TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE AND PLAY FOOTBALL IN NO MAN’S LAND I CAN’T TAKE THE PACE

Coming from the last thread:




Well, from observing it, after a Saturday night on it and adjacent substances, you usually get a Sunday teatime

OH MY GOD NOBODY LOVES ME, I'M GOING TO DIE ALONE EATEN BY MY CAT, I'LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN BECAUSE MY EYES ARE BURST-zzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz



But I was weird. On the one time I tried it, I thought 'what's the thing with this? I don't feel anything but a slightly clear and cold nostril?' and fucked off to bed, leaving the others cackling and generally being twats before starting arguments where one put an end to the night by having chest pains. Probably should have suspected something when I didn't really feel anything much but a bit calmer on other connected substances, whether dropping or not. So I never bothered doing them again.

I always just think of it as if you have ever played Mario Kart, if you select Toad he shouts 'I'M THE BEST!'

The colombian experience in a nutshell.

Can someone please insert that tweet with toiletries pricing. Because is she really trying to tell us her household, including a 12 yo and two adults, at least one of whom is menstruating regularly, is using 12 rolls of toilet paper in a month?

ok found it

And only one bottle of diluted washing up liquid a month! With all the cooking that comes with her ~ profession ~?????

Sigh. I know they are only tiny lies in the grand scheme of things - but her 33p disinfectant. It was only a couple of weeks ago she said she went through two whole bottles of Zoflara when Content was ill. Cheapest I could find at Asda website was £1.99 per bottle.

And yet…

[margaretta]

These threads move so quickly so not sure if it has been picked up.
Was she making a big deal this afternoon about calculating the cost of switching on. the washing machine, microwave, gas cooker etc?

Because a friend has just shared a post from a Thorpe Bay councillor timed this morning with all this info on. So maybe that’s where she got the idea.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

I actually just spent forever screenshotting some of the new ones. We have over 200 now.

Hooting

 

[Hefflen]

This is exhausting! And I am literally going online for about five mins every hour in between looking after kids/house and skimming what she's up to. How has she even got time to pee when she's tweeting so much? This is the most 'energetic' I've ever seen her on Twitter before across many a chaos. Oh to find the source of that energy...

 

[Orphan_Black]

It gets diluted when you squirt it into the washing-up water

This is it! So just use less?! I don't get Jack logic. Last month she was saying she uses shampoo in her washing machine, now she's claiming making her own cleaning products with cheap staples.

Jack, be careful, you'll mix yourself up some ammonia and knock yourself out.

 

[sueh21]

So no blue cheese and steak recipe today then?

Maybe there is a god!

All this chaos just makes me sad.Last big weekend of the summer holidays, the weather is lovely, why on earth doesn’t she take SB out for the day somewhere and why is no one making her put her phone down

Can someone please post that Asda receipt again please? Because I’m going to FORENSICALLY cost all the perishable stuff that she’ll have to eat this week and won’t be able to “burgle”/roll over into next week. Want to calculate how much she has left to spend from her “rolling stock” to stay under 20 quid. Every time.

Now fuck off! X

Former squig reporting for duty! Been grunka-ing for weeks, even watched some DKL from the wiki. On the verge of going full frau many times... but today sealed it. A good friend came to box up her books that had been resting in my flat as she shifted accommodation. Now, I first heard of JM through this friend. My friend is a woke soft butch in her thirties who loves to cook and so naturally she fancies the Vivenne Westwood right off Jack. It even used to be a running joke between us that if she wasted food she'd never have a chance with Jack Monroe. Ah, those innocent times.

My soul has been burning with two questions: one, has my friend encountered the chaos? Been abroad this month so maybe not! Two, did she ever cook anything from either of the 2 cookbooks (Bad Food For Bad Days and Tin Can't Cook, since you're wondering) that I know she owns?

Since she was boxing up books today and even reminiscing about certain cookbooks, I was able to casually ask as BFFBD passed over her hand: Did you ever cook anything from a Jack Monroe book?

Actually no, she replied. I was unsurprised but then she continued... "I did cook loads of recipes from her blog and they were delicious."

Frauen und Herren, is this sheer lust speaking? Or are the blog recipes in some way less vile than the book ones?

And will my friend ever admit it to me if she encounters the chaos? I am certain she hasn't as of today - but it may happen.

I the idea of folk going ‘full Frau’

At least she didn't make the checkout assistant check the total as she went this time. Progress, I guess

 

[Adayinthelife]

Too far behind to grunk so this is likely to land mid-chaos, but (and at risk of severe ) I have walked past not-Old Harold’s Hat shop twice tonight and Fraus on the way back I swear I saw NOT OLD HAROLD
I was with the fam (bleurgh) so I had to surpress the giggle (& didn’t want to annoy a random middle-age bloke who we know ain’t Jack’s ex but I did have an internal massive grin)

 

[Vanelope]

You could always just log off Jack. You don't *have* to tweet.

I’d be so good at running your account Jack

it would be professional, no snark or pile ons

informative

accurate

signposting other writers and recipes I found that I liked

No PayPal in sight PAL

see Queen TD for inspiration of what you should have been doing last ten years

That has made me cry with laughter

The thing is, if her work actually helped people and she genuinely had feedback to show this and she was busy helping and working behind the scenes then she wouldn’t give a shit what people were saying about her on Twitter.

 

[ishant]

Regarding period products, last time Jack was asked about toiletries she said she'd switched to using a Mooncup (or other brand, can't remember which).

That’s fair, I do too. still find myself going through extra amount of loo rolls ~this time of the month~

Only just realised but even the placing of the ASDA receipt on some sort of haunted forest timber to take the photo is triggering me now. Why not just put it on a worktop, table or desk to take the photo?

She's still going on

How does she know it’s got a shoebox for a kitchen? I thought she hadn’t even started looking at flats yet.

My kitchen in my first flat, which was above a shop, has been bigger than the kitchens in every HOUSE I’ve lived in since.

It’s almost seems like she already knows where she is moving to.
