I've got super top secret tip.
When I go to a supermarket I take some bags, just in case I decide to buy some stuff. And, this is the good bit, I put the stuff I have bought in the bags. Hashtag game changer.

She doesn't half make BB sound pathetic. I would be severely pissed off if one of my friends was slating me like this all the time; if it was my partner, they would soon be screaming "SHE LEFT!". How the hell this "friend" she describes holds down any kind of job, let alone the high functioning one we know she does, is beyond me if you were to go purely on the twitter descriptions.
Also why was anyone knobbing about with the hose at this time of year? We know she doesn't make any attempt to keep the garden tidy.
A hose. More essential shopping trips then.
So, long story. There is an article in the Guardian today about one of the new EHRC commissioners who has slammed the #metoo movement and certain aspects of feminism.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a imminent pile-on relating to this and the story highlighted above may be a slight (in my opinion) embellishment in order to provide context.
'Knowing when to outsource is feminism'
So she calls her dad about getting a new hose but not when she and her son are living in poverty.
and, if she is to be believed, the hose will end up in the compost 
This is true. Like I've said before, she shouldn't be freelance if she can't handle it. You need those reserves of money for the quiet times for sure. Then again, I don't have a child so will gladly admit it is easier for me to be a bit more frugal during down time.
BUT I also don't own a Smeg fridge, any fancy art, a sentient mirror, or view the Cotswolds Company catalogue as a Panini sticker book I need to complete.
I'm not claiming to be methodical or forensic about it
but there are definitely ways to make the self employed life workable.

Off topic, but one thing that frustrates me, is there is no consensus on the use of learning disability/ difficulty. Eg, some bodies use disability to mean intellectual impairment, others to refer to, eg, dyslexia. Others use it interchangeably.
So what ever you say, someone will be shouting at you for getting it wrong.

I don't know BB, if she's a good person or not, but if she still reads here i just want her to know its completely reasonable to be upset about the way jack talks about her online and she's not being 'too sensitive' if she finds it embarrassing.
It's never too late to set boundaries in a relationship, and if those boundaries aren't respected by your partner you should seriously consider if it's worth staying with that person.
Sometimes teasing can become bullying, like if its shared with a quarter of a million people.

She’s deleted something. Not the Go Henry or the hose. 
The squiggles are getting arsey! I was just gearing up for a nap as well.
Wait... the recipe for the sauce is on another page... so all she’s doing here is saying “cook some cauliflower and pasta.” Does that really count as a recipe?
Oh wait never mind, she put some crisps on top! Fit for a 2 page spread in a recipe book now.
The receipt from the 11th October also says paid with MasterCard. Although that was THEN and this is NOW etc etc blah blah blah probably
Listen up, here's a useful life lesson for you little Hausfrauen.
When a fox has eaten up your garden hose and you need a new one, make sure you get the person who is to blame (or the fox) to pay for it. It's important that everyone knows it wasn't you. You are fully housetrained after all. With the fox funds, scamper off to the hardware shop and ask the friendly old chap behind the counter to give you some advice on garden hoses. There are so many. Some are long, some a short. Most are round and allow water to pass through it, but there are other options, like square ones with lots of tiny holes or ones made out of gold. It'll probably get quite bewildering for your teeny weeny lady brains and neither a lady doctor nor red red lipstick will help in this situation. So now, listen up ladies, now is the time to call your dad. Because dads know about hoes.

Laughing up a lung at this typo.
In fairness my dad did know a lot about hoes which was one of the many reasons I was brought up by a single mum
Ah yes. A garden hose is SO essential during Lockdown 2.
Also, can someone like Robyn’s reply to her? I purposely locked myself out of Twitter so I wouldn’t tear Jack to cheese spreads.

Her bb was with her and insisted on paying, so It's the bb's, but Jack paid her back with change she found down the back of the sofas
