Kirsty MacCall video is on tv. Looking For A New England.......duck Jack has spoiled it, I can't even listen to the fantastic Kirsty now. 
Shes some bleep, i swear. How can she still be harping on like a hard done by single parent when she lives round the corner from her family, co-parents effectively and has a hostage bubble buddy? The boy is 10, she can 'work' from her expensive chairs/sofas/beds, he is more self sufficient than a young child ffs.
My friend is a single parent with literally no family in the country, 2 kids under 6, no support, made redundant, on "affordable" rent, up to her eyes in debt, relying on food banks and loans from friends, ive had to talk her off the ledge twice in the last month. THAT is the single parent who needs support and empathy. Not that bleeping bleep Jack.

Coopsy and all day everyday letdown larder is going to send me doolally.
I really love cats, but quite frankly I am sick of looking at Cooper.
Hard relate x
She's trying to soften her wild brotherdecker image.
A pint of yoghurt = roughly three/four servings.
We still have three days until Friday.
1. Eat with fruit for breakfast.
2. Eat with fruit for lunch pudding.
3. Eat with leftover cake/mince pie/yummy things for dinner pudding.
4. Eat with honey/syrup for breakfast.
Aside note..... bonus points for her tossing the yoghurt through lentils and not folding.
She has suddenly started saying 'fold it in' all the time. It must be because we pick her up on saying 'bung it in' for every lockdown larder tweet. Ridiculous person.
Yep, she puts him into subordinate employee status: "Thanks for all your hard work"...
The cheek (understatement, lacking a better word now) of it !!!
Why buy it? I don’t like plain yoghurt, or Greek style yoghurt so don’t buy it. I buy coconut to put on granola for breakfast, and fruit yog for lunch
This might be true if you were a keyworker and had young children, but not so much for someone with a 10yo where she can easily work from home, has local contacts and can access food delivery services and has a co-parent. I'm currently home alone with my two (10+), I'm doing work
Is the Del Monte tin opened?
I thought your comment was hers for a sec and thought “how rude.... she’s moaning about lockdown larder already and it isn’t even a day in!!!!”
Just reading about tossing the on the turn yoghurt through the the warm lentils is making me feel queasy. Slightly put me off the three cheese bake I was going to have tonight.
BTW, surely it's STIR in this case?
Exactly this. And then to add insult to insult, she completely ignored the content of his tweet, about being grateful for all the extra work done by teachers and assistants.
Squiggle "I bought something to try. I tried it and didn't like it. What should I do with it?"
Well here's a radical idea, chuck it in the bin. You don't like it.
I don’t think she’s ever given an actual “recipe” as such in her Lockdown Larder. It’s all “sling it in a dhal”, “bung it in a curry”. The concept is flawed, because if you are the sort of person to go to Jack for tips on what to do with a particular item, you’re hardly going to be an experienced cook who knows how to make a curry or a dhal. And you’d be better off searching on Google, there are limitless resources out there when it comes to recipes.
She was desperate for this Lockdown Larder to become a “thing”, which it almost did for the first 24 hours back in March, but she’s tried to resurrect it a few times now and it just fizzles out after a couple of days of minimal interest from Twitter. Plus her shtick is so so dated now.
Jack really needs to keep this stuff for whatsapp friends groups. They’re the best.
