Jack Monroe #46 Patreon Saint of waifs and strays.

Shots of the accommodation on her stories now. Travelodge it ain’t.

I know the "countless death threats" in DMs are almost certainly made up for attention. But still she's posted the view out of her window that would take seconds to identify exactly where she is. How can she go on about taking privacy seriously when she's beyond reckless? It's almost as if she's trying to attract the odd wrongun on the internet to make content. She's a mum with hundreds of thousands of followers, she should take her own safety seriously.

And letting everyone know her crappy bungalow is sitting there empty

For someone so well-versed in the art of TRIANGULATION, it's amazing that she doesn't see quite how easy it is to triangulate *her*.. Also, she's clearly planning on doing a lot of selfies / video stuff.

She wants to be I think. She wants Louisa to come and ring the bell. It's a real breadcrumb trail.

I'm disappointed it's not a suitcase full of drawers of dildos

Massive thanks @Pocahontas for the superb summary and links. And hello Hausfraus! Am new here and found y'all by accident, having been driven to googling WTAF! for Ms Jack. Like many, I guess, I followed her twitter because the idea of her shtick is basically sound. She, however, is anything but!

Apalled at her self obsession. Stunned at her poor parental awareness. Amazed any partner could cope with her for more than a week.

Train wreck!

Oh my God!

You are so right. It's just the sort of over the top romantic gesture she would expect/do/fantasise about.

No fan of JM but the place she’s staying is about £69 a night just now

So nearly £300 for a four nights stay, then there's the overnight train fare in the region of £400, that's £700 before you start on food etc. Then there is the proposed trip to Glasgow, and the costs involved with that. Not much change from a thousand by the end of it all. Now buying jeans, and no doubt a blue fluffy jumper from Harvey Nicks.

In the past 4 months, other than food and utilities, I have spent that princely sum of £10 on a pair of shoes from EBay. (BNWOB, a bargain, Hotter too, fancy)
This is how people on minimum income live, not swanning around in a pandemic wasting money on tit wigs and holidays.

This is really interesting. I feel like you’ve just described me, @Flumps. And @TheDragonWithAFlagon. I’ve just been diagnosed with a chronic illness (ulcerative colitis) and I have been much more depressed than usual. So, so anxious and panicky with constant intrusive thoughts. No energy or drive to do even the most

Hello! I have Crohn’s and have done for over 10 years. Happy to have a chat or moan if needed x

Hello fellow IBD sufferers . I’ve had Crohn’s since I was 16 and Brian, I can relate. I’m in a flare at the moment and I just cannot put up with stuff like I usually do. I don’t like the spoons analogy much, but currently I’m waking up in negative spoons, no energy yet can’t sleep, even having a shower is way too much effort. It does get easier with proper treatment but the flare periods are a witch. Hope you find a treatment plan that works well for you soon!

"Good thing I don't really care about clothes"

...literally her next post...

"I've brought 3 pairs of jeans!"

 

[acca00]

we'll find out whether it's a paid gig soon enough. The fact she's talking about "backgrounds" etc implies she is doing a video with different set-ups all around Edinburgh. But if it's a paid gig she'd have some help, not just alone, who knows?

What I do know is that she is one shady witch.

Welcome!

Pull up a pew, get comfy, you have a few threads to catch (grunka) up on

was it definitely a train ? Could she not have got a quick flight ?

 

[Lanie]

Someone said before the reason she has no money is because she wastes it perhaps they are right.

 

[ReginaPhalangee]

She cannot seriously claim ‘no childcare’ again if she’s off to Scotland alone on a whim

I stand by my theory that SB’s dad didn’t / doesn’t pay Child Maintenance because of how frivolous and impulsive she is. He bought SB necessities and if he knew about the alleged food poverty, he probably bought some groceries too (or would have had he known / believed it)

I wouldn’t want to be the paying parent to someone who spends so much on shite for herself while feeding the kid literal slop and claiming poverty

think you’ve hit the nail on the head here, he probably buys sb what he needs as he doesn’t trust Jack, so doesn’t just want to hand over cash to her without being sure she’ll actually spend it on their son! It would piss me off if I had to give her money seeing as she’s not poor and constantly rattles her online tip jar at people who earn way less than her. Seeing as she made sb apparently buy his own sausages and she alleges she sold his toys in the past, his dad probably wants to make sure he has the things he needs or the money to buy them in case she has one of her funny turns.

 

[instacharlie]

I really hope that everyone who keeps giving her money one way or another now realises that she is NOT financially struggling!!
She has more expensive possessions that we have in our household, and we are nowhere near struggling. Although we do own our own home, and don't rent a crappy, but massive bungalow in a lovely area!

 

[Begborrowsteal]

She said she lives in fear of being stalked and has cameras everywhere; posts pictures showing where she is on social media.

Numpty.

Muchos welcome to you! Join the ride - it’s bumpy and never ending! can’t take credit for the intro, @Passive_Aggressive_Lemon wrote the majority ❤ Glad it was helpful !

She posted the picture of the train (avoided falling under it), but her suitcase looked to have a flight tag on it? Could just be old from all her other holidays.

 

[NomDeGuerre]

We need a summary of JM’s most shocking plot twists, because bleeping off to Edinburgh on the Midnight Train to Waverley has to be up there as the least expected.

Puts her 48 stint as the Ofcom of Children’s Literature into the shade.

 

[Melling]

Oh my God!

You are so right. It's just the sort of over the top romantic gesture she would expect/do/fantasise about.

Me too when I was younger! Like someone else here (cannot find it now) I once made a lonely pilgrimage to a place I'd had a romantic time and I really believed I might turn a corner see my ex and tearful reconciliation would follow. Bonkers. (AKA age 22).
