Tinned stewing steak, tinned carrots drained. Mashed potatoes. Make more then you need last time you had mash and either freeze or if its only a day or so pop in the fridge. Grafted cheese optional.
Mix tinned carrots and steak, pop in am oven proof dish, top with mash and grated cheese if your fancy. Heat through in the oven until golden brown and bubbling. Serve with frozen peas

Have that on me jack (ex poor person, who was poor for quite a long time, and never had anything fancy to sell)

Hang on. Is she really trying to say that taking her to task for ripping off her Patreon and Kickstarter subscribers (“disorganisation” “forgetfulness”) is ableist???
She has a fucking nerve.
It's like saying someone who has a disability but also robs a bank shouldn't be arrested because ableism, innit. Like that's a very simplistic example for a very nuanced subject, but Jack has totally got the wrong end of the stick over what is/isn't ableist.

How did she go from flying high to having an absolute meltdown over a sia tweet in one day?

What’s the betting she’s been dumped from a telly job or something? Or BB has dumped her again.

She does her own washing up on shoots!
I would imagine that she sorely tests the patience of Carole and Rosemary and Natalia, what with her multiple chaoses, missed deadlines (any news on that poverty book?) - plus she’s not getting much work so she’s not exactly bringing in the money in for her agent.
Jack: what you mean is they INDULGE you, because they find you difficult and they are probably afraid of triggering yet another of your “wailing like a banshee” episodes.

It must be like the Folk of the Faraway Tree at her house. Every time you go upstairs, there’s a completely different set up.
This was my FAVOURITE childhood story!! If only we could send her up the top of her shitty bungalow to the land of far far away!

Why would she have a problem with that? If she’d cast them as sex workers she’d be up in arms. Also Jack having sex doesn’t mean you’re a sex worker.
To be fair shagging is probably the nearest Jack gets to doing any actual work.

She’s deleted one but I can’t see which. She’s now replying to any old shit to bump it all down.

"you're really good on camera mate, honestly"

I stopped reading after that, what utter shite!

I'm not a parent but imagine reading your kid's Twitter and she's basically shouting out that she sold herself rather than come to you for help.
I think my heart would shatter.
(I'm not judging either, you do whatever you have to do to get by, but her poor Mum)

But. But!! If she’s had all this work recently, plus got her book royalties through.... why does she need to take people’s Warm Home payments? Why doesn’t she ever name and shame these dreadful companies that are so ableist and mean. If she’s happy to have a Twitter spat with JO, DW, Sia and whoever else, then name the producer. She’s such a liar!

Unless they're rolling their eyes, for the for the 10 billionth time, and calling bullshit like everyone else.
