I've spent all morning trying to think of a genuine use for tumble dryer fluff and the only thing I came up with was to put outside for birds to use for nests. What the hell else would you use it for???

SB: "It says here I have to do a family tree, could you help me?"
Jack: "MY GRANDDAD'S DEAD!!!"
Jack: "MY GRANDDAD'S DEAD!!!"
Don't forget dusty auntie Helen.
So in essence -
Jack - "I'm so busy, I have do much work to dooooo!"
Also Jack - "The government won't give me money for having no work to dooooo!"
Right-o...
This is maybe too conspiracy but I actually wonder if SB is even homeschooling. If his dad is a keyworker and one of SBs siblings spends a lot of time in hospital as she’s said on Twitter, I’d imagine he’d be offered a school place and I can’t see Jack turning it down. It would almost certainly be for the best for SB too.
I read Bisto and immediately thought you had a top tip for an instant tan.It’s taking every ounce of my restraint not to reply to her tweet asking for tips with some of my own thrifty ideas.
“Instead of bath salts, I like to drop some Bisto granules and a few chopped carrots in to the water so I can have a wash and cook a nice roast at the same time. You’re welcome, Jackx”
My customers would be pretty pissed off if they thought that I dashed off their order (in my creative business) the night before, when they believed they were paying a lot of money for something made with thought and care.
I just don't understand how she can tell her potential customers that a book has taken so little time, and has been shoddily rushed at the last minute, cobbled together from scraps of paper and tweets.
Just another example of her arrogance...she got lucky once, and thinks she's a maverick genius who doesn't need to try.
Gawd, can you tell she's struck a particular nerve with me today?

She doesn't deserve any of it yet she is still so ungrateful, it really is infuriating! If I had the opportunity to be paid to write a cookbook it would be the realisation of my life's dream and I would put absolutely everything into it. She's just a lazy, incompetent spoilt brat who has been incredibly lucky in life thus far, despite all her claims otherwise.My customers would be pretty pissed off if they thought that I dashed off their order (in my creative business) the night before, when they believed they were paying a lot of money for something made with thought and care.

seriously? So save up the tumble dryer lint and use it to light a fire!?
The performative home schooling tweets really really piss me off. I’ve got 3 primary aged kids and I work during school hours (from home at the moment!) 
One child in mainstream with an EHCP, year below her son: learning from home but managing really well with additional online support from 1:1 when needed. I don’t have to help her at all!
Another child in mainstream with no SEN - doesn’t need any input from her
Third child in special school - press says they’re open, reality is he is only allowed to attend a couple of days a week. He is non verbal, severely disabled and unable to access remote learning so requires a huge amount of attention from me (while I am working)
Yes although I’m not doing this alone, my husband is NHS and works long hours in a hospital It’s bleeping chaotic and nightmarish trying to work with all my kids here with no support. BUT I am mindful that this situation is tit for everyone! I know of people that have it much harder than me - why can’t Mack recognise that actually in some respects she has it easier? She’s said she has her weekends free for example, perhaps she could work then instead?!
sorry to rant. I’m just so sick of her poor me schtick. She really doesn’t have it that hard!!

I did a laughing reaction but also I would totally buy the @blurstoftimes cookbook.
I was wondering how the key worker situation worked with those who co parent? She's such a blaggy little scammer, I'm sure she could get SB a school place on the basis of his dad being a key worker if she tried.
I didn't know what a fronted adverbial was either, but a quick Google and it was explained in terms that even a 32 year old single mother with 4.5 GCSE's could understand.She is only mentioning the frontal adverbial thing as there was an article about it and a lot of social media discussion from parents over the weekend.. as usual she us several days late in recognising a social media trend.. weird for someone who spends 95% of her life on Twitter!
Dear Gavin Williamson, could you tell parents what a fronted adverbial is? | Michael Rosen
Families homeschooling in lockdown are discovering the full horror of the primary grammar curriculum – and they’re mystifiedwww.theguardian.com
I know that I have a degree, but never got further than O level in English, and found the explanation easy enough to understand in under 5 minutes. We all use them in everyday language, but don't know the correct term to describe them.
Why do these parents see a word or phrase that they are not familiar with and then panic? All that does is create a fear of language in the child your meant to be assisting to educate. Just look it up, if a 10 year old is meant to understand it, I am sure an adult can.
It is the same as if say, for instance, I was paid to make a wedding cake for someone months in advance. I faff about and can't be arsed.
A couple of nights before the wedding I open my front door and shout into the street 'anyone want to come and make a cake? Anyone? You won't get paid but my thanks will be enough'.
And still I moan and huff and feel hard done by for being expected to fulfil a pesky obligation.
