I would struggle to feed myself on £20 per week, and even shopping at Aldi, when you need to factor in other essentials, such as toilet roll, washing powder etc, it’s not feasible to manage a varied diet and to run a home on that amount.
The point I take issue with, Jack, if you see this, is that if you claim it can be done, there are vulnerable people out there who may be shamed because they can’t understand why they’re not managing to do this. store cupboard but I won’t use it so that salt and pepper will be the only condiments used. Maybe tomato ketchup. Let me get some recipes together and I’ll see what can be done. Anyone wants to join in, welcome. Let’s show her how to do this. NO FLACCID BANGERS PERMITTED.

But Dear Hearts, she has already said it is her 'back up' plan to work in a supermarket. She wouldn't last two mins in retail... which is maybe why she had so many jobs pre fire service. Bold of her to assume they'd hire her 😂

Also love this street urchin anecdote. I'm middle class as they come and didn't get my hair cut in a 'real' hairdresser until well into my preteens because why would you? It was always my Mum's pal at the dinner table! No point spending unneeded money. Also not knowing what biscotti is hardly makes you silly... I don't think most teens would know what it was even if a biscotti pranced all over a sideboard in front of them.

Her soulless shark eyes are very prominent in this pic

Actually I noted in the photo she shared (which was then posted here) of her bookshelves that she had a book about 800 cals a day plus the Pinch of Nom one. I'm tempted on the basis of this and her calorie comments to say she may have some kind of disordered eating. Not necessarily an eating disorder per se but some kind of issue around food and meals.

I think she nicks recipes out of them. she posted a a diet coke chicken recipe at one point. That is a very well known slimming world recipe.

The point I take issue with, Jack, if you see this, is that if you claim it can be done, there are vulnerable people out there who may be shamed because they can’t understand why they’re not managing to do this. So, in all seriousness, that is why you need to stop claiming that it’s possible.
Second, I’m up for a challenge. I work full time, at the moment I’m having to work from home, but I’m prepared to do a £20 food only shop at Aldi, to see what I can come up with. I’m a good cook so I can rustle up something, but I’m used to feeding one. The catch is, Jackadoodle, is that all I have is a 2 ring hob, I’m on a meter(poor mental health, previous debt) and I earn just under a living wage so the challenge is harder.To all fellow Frauen und Herren, I’ll genuinely try this ASAP. Give me a week or so and I’ll see what I can do. I have an amazing store cupboard but I won’t use it so that salt and pepper will be the only condiments used. Maybe tomato ketchup. Let me get some recipes together and I’ll see what can be done. Anyone wants to join in, welcome. Let’s show her how to do this. NO FLACCID BANGERS PERMITTED.

Or return to the fire service. She has so much experience that without doubt she would fly through the ranks. Or are all her stories all bullshit?

Didn't she apparently resign because of childcare issues? But then there was another time when she talked about dismissal letters? Needless to say, as with everything single bloody thing in JM's life, there are at least two conflicting stories.

But I can easily see what a nightmare she must be as an employee and colleague.
 
Hahahaaaa I’ve just found this thread 😂 thank you all for a whole Sunday of laughing my head off reading your posts about this bizarre creature. I have been accidentally following her for years on Instagram but never really paid any attention to her or what she was about. After reading these threads I have so many questions! Too many to ask actually but the two main ones are what is gunkaring (apologies if spelt wrong) and why on earth is every post she makes in some odd, headache inducing cartoon mode? X
