And how does the soap that goes in it get there. Does she carry it home in her grubby hands?

I still think it weird that she named a dish for Allegra, Come to Bed Carbonara and for Louisa, Come To Bed Parmigiana you’d think Jack with her mAvErIcK brain would be a little more imaginative

I'm thinking Fancy a duck Fajetas.

I saw someone ask about it earlier this morning. Hope her finger is OK

She's being on her best Twitter behaviour, maybe due to Buddle having a word? She must be furious

This list includes Unilever, who as we know recently paid Jack a 5 figure sum #ecowarriorJack

I buy shampoo bars and conditioner roundels from a UK company. Palm oil free. Small business. I’ve also bought products in the past that support the orangutan foundation

She’s full of nonsense really. Pretends to be ethical when she’s nothing of the sort.

I thought Jack didn't drive because she couldn't pass her driving test, not because she made a conscious decision not to drive on environmental grounds.

Or because she can't afford a car. Or because of her ADHD and/ or her maverick brain.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

She can afford a car, she just can’t afford the sort of car she’d like

Love that she’s tweeting about LARD SOAP as awful news about disadvantaged children *losing* skills such as potty training, number knowledge and reading during lockdown is breaking.

Oh lordy, Imperial Leather is trending at no 4 on twatter. They will be giddy with delirium and scampering around like an excited puppy

shut up lard soap - surely not? Surely no one would do this...

Maybe 'ye olde medieval Jack' is her next incarnation - making soap and candles from tallow?

Good old vegan lard soap!

Now imagining Jack sat at her extender dining table with some lye and rendered large, a la Tyler Durden.

Am I being dense today, or are there not 5 dispense associated items in this image alone that contain plastic? It is not exactly 'Eco : Where's Wally'.

Is that the sound of ovaries groaning in Thorpe Bay? Saucy minx.

What world does she live in where Wilkos sells artisan clay soap dispensers?

She needs to see the clay stuff I made at school. There is not a chance in hell that would have held a liquid.

ETA just seen the picture of the soap dispensers in her kitchen. A quick bit of found the wall mounted one is from simple human and retails for £29.99

Nice if you can afford a thirty quid soap dispenser Jackie.

OT question, sorry, but your mention of chocolate reminded me. I normally add a load of advent calendars to my foodbank donation around this time of year. Just because I still get a thrill from an advent calendar so I figure who wouldn't, but is chocolate/that sort of thing not so helpful. I thought it was a nice thing, but am worried I am being a patronising fool now.

ETA: ah, sorry, seen asked and answered already.

Honestly, this is the best option and foodbanks really appreciate it. Getting chocolate is great and people love it but last Christmas we were bundling clients out of the door with like three selection boxes each plus all of their food. Getting money donations allows them to buy crates of stuff which people don’t generally think to give - pet food, UHT milk, nappies, etc etc.

I’m currently working with a charity who, outside of their usual remit, are distributing food parcels at the mo and some of the stuff they have donated is wild: whole wheels of cheese, literal buckets of mozzarella, kombucha, McDonalds sauces, mad seafood, veg like celeriac which a lot of people simply don’t know what to do with. It makes for some super fancy (and also oddly matched) boxes, but honestly people just want simple, filling food and it’s important it can be heated in a microwave IMO as so many people struggle with keeping their meter topped up.

Pissing myself at the commenters to Jack berating her for using toiletries with palm oil: this is the problem that she’s created for herself - she’s spent so long pandering to the middle class Guardianista brigade who can afford to be conscientious in their purchasing habits and worked so hard (for once!) to position herself as one of them that she’s simultaneously expected to Feed The Poors (Let Them Know It’s Christmas Time) and be an ethical buyer. In reality she’s doing neither and I’m enjoying seeing her between a rock and a hard place.

@Flumps - advent calendars are great - for our particular bank we need them a couple of weeks before the start of December as some parcels can sit around for a week in the warehouse due to rotation blah blah blah.

And along HarderFaster's vein. Choccies and snacks good, money good but random cheese, gourmet items and dubious pate/animal innards not so useful.

Kisses to all who support foodbanks and other similar ventures whether its with money or bits and stuff

From my son's bedroom window, I can see my 85yo neighbour's kitchen sink and I love that I can see his bar of Imperial Leather on the window ledge.

I keep coming back to this post, @HarderFaster you are so right.

I searched for @bootstrapcook and "palm oil" - people tweet her about palm oil pretty regularly, which supports what you say: https://twitter.com/search?q=@bootstrapcook palm oil&src=recent_search_click&f=live

Could have been worse, could have been “come to bed devil eggs” Louisa has to take the small wins
