So much I dislike about that Greenbelt interview but the BS about insurance really grates. So she buys expensive pieces for 'insurance' but won't actually buy insurance.

She just doesn't want to pay for something that she can't stick on display in a sideboard for other people to get jealous about, despite fact noone does and that's all a fantasy of her own maverick little mind.

It has to be white poppies. Not just any kind. They used to sell the flower heads for arrangements apparently.

Yet Jack and SB Dad ate some and got all high.

Theres also a line in the xscript (thanks VVV for all you do - not a euphemism) where she says she didn’t as a child realise they were poor, because the house was “neat and clean” and they always read books. We all know that poors are “tit poor” and live in filth starting at the telly, so Big D and Ma Ev we’re very cunning to be poor but not act like it.

I swear guest once watched one episode of Harry Enfield where Wayne and Waynetta slob were featured and that is her barometer for the working class. She’s disgusting. As someone from a very working class background, my home home was tidy and well kept. You might not have much or any money but pride is pretty high on the list. She’s vile, it’s the sort of tit I’d expect Braverman or Johnson to come out with.

ETA there’s a lovely new family moved in close by and they have a son the same age as ours. They rent in the same street as us. My SB came home the other night after playing out with this boy and was concerned as he said to me, ‘*** only gets toast for tea as he has a hot meal at school at lunchtime.’
it really brought home how difficult life is for families at present. He’s had tea at ours a couple of nights since. Nothing fancy but I remember when we’d often eat at grandmas on an evening, and having spoken to my mum it’s because we just didn’t have much money. Sorry I should have spoilered that me-rail.

The publishers had to amend the digital edition. And said they’d update a reprint only of course there was no reprint. But this is on them as much as her - the ‘tips’ should never have gone into print

I’d argue it’s on them more than her.

Her tips are absolutely ridiculous but if you get a handful of people and ask them for random thrifty tips I bet you’d get a ton of people suggesting things they do that are actually dangerous and shouldn’t be put in print as suggestions - from eating meat past the use by date (which yes should be a judgement call but isn’t something Bluebird should put in print unless they want to be blamed for someone eating something that poisons them) to people genuinely shoving candles all over the place and sleeping with them lit. She is a useless idiot who couldn’t come up with a proper hack if her life depended on it - they have entire teams of editors who are presumably paid to filter that tit out.

The fact they let it go out in that shape is beyond insanity.

She trashes the stuff she’s bought as investments. It all ends up dyed black or covered in crap or shoved in bin bags under the bed. She wouldn’t get 50p for some of her designer stuff.

Is Old Riley celebrating by posting straight couples again?

Just came across this while trawling old threads for another receipt. For context, @Mel Donte had found some old Facebook comments from her moaning about how she hated her new sofa and wasn't sure whether to cover it up, keep it and buy the one she actually liked but had been talked out of by LJC (so frugal), or paint the wall behind it to make the offending sofa look better against it (despite claiming she's NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO PAINT BECAUSE SHE RENTS).

I know we've previously mithered about the American article where she claimed to have "lived rough for two years" and whether she was using her usual weasel-wording to imply living on the streets while actually meaning something else, but here she is in black and white on her own Facebook, stating she's been homeless. Where the duck does this fit in the timeline?

She’s more combative than Ryu from Street Fighter. Why is EVERYTHING an argument with her?

dark narc snark and food that makes you fart is all she offers.
 
When Auntie Pat lost her luggage in that Bridlington BnB and had to borrow Uncle Dennis's fishing gear for her night down Gala Bingo. Of all the nights to win the Malibu bottle AND the tray of meat so she got called up on stage

Finished Greenbelt and added to the wiki: https://tattle.life/wiki/jack-monroe-4/

Same old nonsense as usual - if you can't be bothered to read it all, she almost slanders Shattenstone, and tells a small boy who wants to be a chef that Leggy fired her from Blackfoot when they split up, and that she made terrible cooking mistakes which is how she conceived her son.

We mercifully didn't have to hear the whole pov story. She still has cripplingly low self-esteem, representation is another word she doesn't understand, she is writing three books - a cookbook, a memoir and a book on austerity. Oh and working on the VBI. She's also working with MPs and teachers and loads of charities and schools and prisons and pupil referral units. But all softly gently behind the scenes one presumes. And she's much happier off twitter.

She's a muppet
