Chopping wood
For a bit of structure is an interesting term for JM to use .Is it me, or is she gunning on Twitter with the #SchoolofSkills hashtag for a piece of the Joe Wicks lockdown pie?!
And when Wicksy or someone equally as cool gets the gig on national tv, are we in line for another dose of THAT MAN AFTER IVE SPENT TEN MINUTES MAKING A LIST.
Given the list, it looks like she’s preparing her son for an apocalypse.
Thankyou! Great advice from you, @Nottonightbabe and @Sooverthat. *Prunella Scales voice* Basil? Basil! Come along, Basil!Loves the sunshine so give it as much of that as you can. If it has been ok up till now, then it might be pot bound. If you gently lift it out of its pot and you can see lots of roots all growing together then time for a new pot and to pat yourself on the back for keeping a supermarket basil alive long enough to achieve that!

Would she just leave him somewhere with a compass and flask and he would find his way home? Genuinely asking."Getting lost somewhere with a compass and a flask of tea".....
Put a couple of basil leaves on top for decoration.Thankyou! Great advice from you, @Nottonightbabe and @Sooverthat. *Prunella Scales voice* Basil? Basil! Come along, Basil!
On the flip side, my supermarket parsley is running riot without any encouragement whatsoever. I'll be able to knit a jumper from it soon.
PS I've just made two giant lasagnes, one for me and one for my mum up the road, with - as a rejoinder to La Monroe's horse spunk antics - the richest ever béchamel sauce. Even Keith Lloyd would run away screaming.
I'm sprinkling them with toasted pine nuts - FANCY!!Put a couple of basil leaves on top for decoration.
Phoar! Living on the edge, get you!I'm sprinkling them with toasted pine nuts - FANCY!!
Too cold and damp outside for baz. Bring it in pretty much indefinitely, or until guaranteed dry warmth. My mint, sage, and thyme are going bonkers for this weather, but basil is in the kitchen by the window.Mine is too
I agree re being submerged in it as it is IRL / in school, but also the content? No one here is saying the stuff of school yard bullies - this isn’t any opinion on any person and especially not JM but at school I remember bullies mentioning size, appearance, your parents being poor, you being a hoe, you being frigid, so and so doesn’t like you, you’ve got braces, etc etc. We simply do not discuss such things.This is food for thought. I agree that if any gossip forum/mag/tabloid was replicated in a school or workplace it would be recognised as bullying. So what makes it different? To me it's the anonymity. JM doesn't have to sit in front of us in double maths. If she hadn't googled her own name she wouldn't know we were here.
Also: admonishes people for being mean on the internet.
Calls those people 'nasty bitches' on the internet.

This is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking about when I was cooking earlier. She should have done something like - don’t nick my intellectual property, Jack - here’s a chicken and how to roast it whole. Here’s one I made earlier. Have it with this and that, lots of veg, to bulk it out for a roast. Make a stock with the carcass for soup, add some noodles, herbs and spices and shredded chicken. Last bit of chicken, make bao buns or something. Or! Here’s how to make a frittata to use XYZ veg, or quiche. Not everyone on a budget wants to live on spam gruel.Tesco’s generic email just landed in my inbox, actually had a look at it and was quite impressed. The idea for leftovers is exactly what the daily cooking show should have covered, budgeting is more than just buying cheap tins.
I had a go on their recipe finder...it’s a goodie.
Well if she gave up Twitter, that should free up about 20 hours.and how will she find the time to homeschool with her 20hour work days?!
Nadiya on her insta stories today has one 5 ways with a whole chicken. JM reposts people’s attempts at her recipes. Missed a trick.This is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking about when I was cooking earlier.

Ha ha ha! You've reminded me of the only time in my life when I was lost - and even then, not lost as in Blair Witch irretrievably lost, just 'where the fuck am I?'. I was about to tell the story because it's a cracker... but thought better of it."Getting lost somewhere with a compass and a flask of tea".....
What the fuck!
In my experience when I'm lost it is usually not with a compass and a flask of tea on my person!
My previous experiences of being lost tended to focus on me scrambling into the morning light out onto a street I don't recognise with a bad hangover and my knickers hastily stuffed into my handbag.
A hot flask of tea would have been a blessing during those times!
Instead I had to settle for a can of Diet Coke from the corner shop and a swift taxi ride home.
