The butter thing really boils my piss. I grew up in a working class household, never destitute but always having to buy cheap. We never had butter, only marge, and it was...fine? We made do. The fact she was so aghast at having to downgrade from butter shows yet again that she was never truly in poverty, just an entitled middle class twat who was down on her luck for a few months.

We had Flora marg. We weren't too poor we couldn't afford butter, I think my mum thought it was better for you at the time? I'll ask her later how she could deprive me so!

Butter was actually one of our food luxurys as a kid, my mum scraped on other things to ensure we had proper butter as she hated margarine.

We didn't get alot of fancy food growing up but it was always homemade and nutritious as possible, we ate alot of meat, potato and veg dinners.

Same. I was convinced for years I hated butter but had a major plot twist in my early 20s when I realised it was just margarine I couldn't stand the taste of. Expect more details to be revealed in my upcoming blog post, 'Turnips'.

In the old days (1970s) marg was the thing, butter was on the wain. We had blue band or flora. Both of which treated like Axle grease.

Now we eat butter spread, the lidl one is nice and reasonably priced.

A bit behind but about the ADHD statements, I am currently in the process of collecting evidence for a referral to the ADHD clinic for an assessment.

I have been told if I do not have enough evidence to show how ADHD symptoms have affected my life then the psychiatrist won’t be able to accept my referral. Thankfully I have lots of old school reports but I have also been advised to get statements from my parents and partner. It ain’t fun to read your partner’s writing on how shit you are at stuff but I appreciate him doing it. With my parents it’s like blood from a stone. I don’t particularly enjoy reminding them of my teenage fuck ups either.

I can’t imagine how I would get my loved ones to do this for me without telling them what it was for!!!

I feel slightly indulgent writing about myself here. I do find it hard to read Jack going on about ADHD. I don’t doubt she has it, but I do resent the way she talks about it and uses it as an excuse. Doesn’t exactly fill me with hope!
