Off-topic and should be reserved for the Food & Drink thread but I hate courgettes, marrows and aubergines. So watery and I’ve no idea how to make them appetising. I’m very particular about the texture of my food, which is why I’d never make a JM recipe.

Pasta alla norma is the only aubergine dish I enjoy, and it is one of my favourite meals

Courgettes and marrows are inedible in my opinion

I wonder what Jack did with her marrow? Was it mashed up and served on toast? Added to jelly? Marrow curry? The cabal deserves answers

Is that 60k for real?? Where did that money go 😮

I can sort of sympathise, or at least understand, how the money went so quickly because she was with two wealthy partners in succession (Allegra then Louisa) and I can sort of understand that when two partners have very different wealth levels, one may feel under pressure to spend at the level of the other one in order to “keep up”. And that would probably burn through ones earnings quite quickly especially if one really finds one enjoys the high life.

Just under £69,000 actually.



The book was published in the end, but it was about two years late and loads of backers demanded their money back because they were sick of waiting.

Who knows whether any of those promised “Rewards” came to fruition either 🤷‍♀️

I also get a twinge of sympathy when I look at this book cover and the hagiographic Xanthe Clay quote on the back. I can see how being feted and eulogised like this for basically having a blog would really lock one into a persona which one feels one must adopt in order to win praise and approval (in this case, that of rough diamond single mum white knighting for the poor) and when you’re in that persona and feel that’s all your famous for, it must be really hard to get out of it. Especially if that persona isn’t really quite the truth. I can see how a person might end up feeling...lost.

doesn’t excuse grifting though!
 
Oh come ON people, I stay off tattle for two days to mediate coworker arguments, battle my way through Tesco and try to rearrange the fridge and I've apparently missed something huge here??? Can we please have the next drama when I'm around to view it 😭😂 I really want to know what happened now but it'll probably haunt me forever if it's all been put to bed

On topic, to be fair to her JM does have a very decent bone structure. She looks way better with a buzzcut than I would, I'm too chubby. Doubt her self imposed social media exile will last long though (if it hasn't ended already, I haven't caught up with the thread), I give it a week tops

fwiw I think she’s naturally very beautiful, which is another unacknowledged privilege of hers because studies have shown that conventionally attractive people tend to get more job offers, promotions and earn more money throughout the course of their lives than conventionally plain people. But I do also agree with other posters that she looked better and more natural up until about a year ago which was, weirdly enough, about the time that she started posing for thot pics and shooping her selfies. My opinions only m’lud.

You could be very right! (I'll have to trust you/posters judgement, I genuinely can't remember any old photos of her. I'm terrible with faces sometimes). I'm all for anyone taking any photos they want but I agree, I admit I don't really get those weird "sensually" posed pics

I’ve used my triangulation skills and managed to track down Jack’s secret social media... she has reverted back to her birth name and is hiding out on a mummy app, asking for slop inspiration textured food ideas for people without teeth 😲

I don't doubt your skills but may I ask how can you be certain it is her? I know very little of tracing people online so I honestly don't know?
 
After a while lurking, then suspicions, then being brave enough to comment....I honestly thought on the whole I had found like minded people here....discerning but not to harsh...mostly factual but with bold yet relevant comments ready to challenge Jackanory....but it turns out not only do you all hate marrows you think they are just oversized courgettes and the same bleeping vegetables... I despair..... **runs back to Twitter and loves all Ms Monroe's tweets ** just kidding...but not about the marrows you heathens
 
Ok - so I thought I was grunka’ing pretty well but whatever happened went right over my head...obviously not concentrating hard enough!

So - I’ve had a couple of interesting conversations with family members about Jack; one... my mum - unprompted - told me that she’s just stopped following her because she can’t believe some of the stuff she’s up to. So it seems that even people who don’t know the full ins and outs of her SM/chaos moments are beginning to get tired of it; the other... my sister and her partner who I gave a potted history to. Their reaction was, again without all the facts, that she was victimising herself for monetary gain, and that considering the majority of her followers were people in need of low budget meal ideas it was, at best, immoral. They also pointed out that there are other individuals who started out doing low budget meals but that they have never suggested ‘they’ have to live like that. That the recipes are more ‘look what you CAN make on a low budget if you have to, but these are the other ingredients you can use if money is not a concern’.

I, too, hope she uses the time off SM to regain some composure ‘find herself’ (although I hate that phrase) and find a love for food and cooking if that’s really what she wants to do.

If I was writing a book and people had been daft kind enough to stump up £69k for it, the least I’d do is make sure they’d receive a copy. I know Royal Mail have their moments but even they’d struggle to lose as many as she claims has “gone missing”.
