Copper pans scattered all over, replaced with all the photo materials. Drawers on top of the cupboards. Arena flowers massive box unopened on the floor. I reckon she’s put a dog in the spare room.

this is stuff of nightmares for me. why add to the crap? with the drawers on the shelves, and another set of drawers and what purpose does a ceramic bleeping pear serve? the floor looks like it has a huge light rug on that will be caked in cat hair and food in no time.

She loves this one busy day. It means she can moan for about a week (at least) about tired she is, how busy she has been, how she works so hard, how she deserves nice things. Ignoring the fact she has had months to do it properly and show respect to her publisher, agent and prospective purchasers by actually pretending to give a tit and by having a modicum of professional pride.
Embarrassing.

Oh this is so embarrassing, she's put up a photo of her and her good friend Billy Bragg (who doesn't so much as follow her on twitter) 'singing' at Glastonbury.

Those milk bottles are not yours. They are supposed to be returned to the milkman FFS!

She’s trying to play down how big her kitchen looks and all the gear that she’s ‘worked her tits off for’.
‘Oh, it’s just a zoomed out lens. It’s not THAT big, before any of you cretins dare to imply my kitchen looks big and airy and that I have a lot of tit.’

It’s a contrast to the sad little corner with missing pictures and holes in the wall that she used for her FSM spotlight interviews.

Oh maybe the milk bottles are very expensive ‘Milkman style’ bottles she bought in John Lewis for rustic flower arrangements?

How on Earth can you test so many recipes in one day?

From real food bloggers know they will make 4 to 6 variations of one recipe in their testing phase, all with different measures to see how things work out. If she wanted to do that for 14 recipes, that's 56 different recipes at least. It's not really testing this way, just bunging things together, innit? (tbf, one 'recipe' in the Tin Can Can't book was to blend manderings into a juice)

No wonder her recipes are so hit but mostly mis.

The kitchen makeover is like a makeover in reverse. Like when Molly Ringwald gives Ally Sheedy a makeover in The Breakfast Club and she ends up looking worse than she did before.
