Hmmmm interesting. Any idea what she means by deactivate? Her twitter account? The story? Anyway, being this cryptic must be driving Jack up the wall...

She’s said she deactivates her SM every weekend to give herself a break from it, then reactivates on Monday. Not a bad idea! Jack should definitely try it.

A couple of quid it all adds up doesn’t it?
Also really enjoying a clothes warehouse in Bangladesh tweeting Jack pairs of really boring trousers to Jack with no context

How can that sausage abomination make 10 portions? There's only 8 sausages (cheap shit ones too) so that is four fifths of a tiny sausage, a tenth of a tin of beans and a tenth of a jar of sauce, per portion.

14p a miniscule portion with nothing to serve it with, no pasta, no garlic bread, no side salad, nothing. He was 8 at the time, that portion size wouldn't fill a two year old.

What is really laughable is she uses a jar of ready made bolognese sauce to make, wait for it, bolognese! I have a recipie for chicken curry, it involves buying chicken and a jar of ASDA curry cooking sauce. Would you like to put a couple of quid in my tip jar?

Yes this is a key skill. my son is approaching 18 and I am just beginning to trust him with some money. Like me he can be impulsive but in his case it’s gaming. So we have an agreement that I will buy any in game purchases (within reason) and the money in his account pays for lunches and social stuff. He’s autistic so he needs some supervision with it all still.

When I pay bills I include him in how I make decisions....so rent and council tax (pay the roof over your head first) and then the other bills.

I just costed it on the Asda website and it was £2.33 for the ingredients and a total of 1582 calories.
23p per portion which gives 158 calories. I didn’t factor in puree/ketchup.

she is very good on Twitter too, very self aware and interesting. Steps away from the keyboard for her own sanity sometimes too.
