Her shitty little bungalow, which she struggles to pay rent for - and assuming her partner really has gone, will be struggling even more with now. Sounds like a perfect time to buy a massive, expensive and unnecessary piece of furnitureForgetting for one moment the argument about whether she can lift a 93kg sideboard (my 2cp - can she fuck)...but it was in a box, so 'Poor Jack' seems to have money to spunk away on a solid oak , lead and gold inlaid (must be for that weight) piece of huge furniture for her shitty little bungalow....
I’m really glad you made that post. You’re with friendly people here who will either understand or empathise with that feeling. Some days feel kind and cosy, some days feel terrifying. There was a day last week that I couldn’t even do my morning team call, and I love and trust the small group I work with. But here - no one minds if you drop in and out and we’re all a bunch of incredibly kind, clever, funny, beef-faced (@sali hughes) misfits anyway. Just don’t go abusing any donkeys for a telly lasagne, ok?I don't post here often. I do when I'm on good form. Those times have been less and less the last two weeks. I can barely get out of my bed, let alone clean my teeth. My record for not brushing my teeth is now at 4 days. How are other people keeping going, honestly? X
Heya, are you in lockdown alone? Definitely keep checking in here, we love a natter about anything and we’re all up all times of the night too, I love catching up when I have my late night weeI don't post here often.

Rinsed hoops (and rinsed beans for that matter) has never made sense to me. Aren’t you just wasting the tomato sauce? Why would you want to waste anything if you are on a budget? Sometimes I think Jack makes up her recipes by looking at some tins and asking herself “how can I mix things up and be all QUIRKY and that” rather than “how can I make this into a tasty and appealing meal”.I like spaghetti hoops but why not make the proper thing if you want comfort? It isn't difficult and only takes as long as the spaghetti takes to cook

The idea of using rinsed hoops :-(
Hey Halcyon, feeling it too at the moment. So lethargic and couldn't bear the slightest noise today. Have come to bed with chocolate and Tattle. Sending huge hugs xIf you want someone to do it with tell me and I’ll run up and do mine now we can compare notes... Best offer ever right now! Synchronised teeth scrubbing. Who knew? Thank you so much xx
Love to you PollyPops. It's not just us, right? Big hug to you right now XHey Halcyon, feeling it too at the moment. So lethargic and couldn't bear the slightest noise today. Have come to bed with chocolate and Tattle. Sending huge hugs x
Basil? Basil? How FANCY are you? Next you’ll be telling us you use stock pots and actual lemonsCongratulation on taking one for the team, whilst you were rinsing Heinz hoops I was cooking up Heinz Ravioli to my own personal recipe....
Basically heat up a tin of Heinz Ravioli, when hot enough mix with some freshly torn basil leaves. (If you pot on a supermarket herb pot into fresh compost they last ages).
Then gently grate cheese over the top. Serve with some lightly toasted bread, I used 50/50 with a scrape of butter.
No rinsing required and honestly adding some fresh basil makes it good...not ‘Italian restaurant fresh pasta’ good but ‘there is a tin in the cupboard and I don’t have to go out so it’s comforting’ good.
I saw on the news that the Queen’s birthday honours have been postponed until August. I reckon it’s because of your act of bravery today, they need to make sure you’re properly rewarded @InstabumsYour service to the the cause will be noted and you will receive the highest tiered commendation.
Did you hear back from Richard Osman @Flumps ?Really sorry, but I can't remember who recommended this recipe for verdure in scapece
Italian Pickled Vegetables (Verdure in Scapece) - Our Italian Table
“Vedure in Scapece” is a summer dish from Naples found in Italian delis all over America. It’s the go-to recipe in Italy for people who have loads of zucchini, eggplant, peppers and other vegetables in their summer garden. The funny thing is that it is usually translated as “marinated...ouritaliantable.com
But I've just made/assembled it for my mum's birthday on Friday and it looks and smells utterly lush, so big thank you. x
Tressy's got a secret
Not as fancy as saffron but if you don’t have any you could replace it with mint, sage, thyme, parsley...dandelion leaves, cow parsley, grass cuttings...didn’t Jack say any green herbs are interchangeable?Basil?

Hey love, it’s a funny old time isn’t it. The amount of sugar I’m stress-eating under lockdown is about quadruple my normal amount (at a conservative gueas!) so our teeth are probably equally fluffy together. Sending lots of hugs. Do check in when you feel up to it, and we’ll fill you in on any antics xI don't post here often. I do when I'm on good form. Those times have been less and less the last two weeks.

I have good days and bad days and that’s what most of my family and friends are experiencing too. You’re not alone. Lockdown is shit, shitter than a spunky lasagne. Shitter than grated corned beef and even shitter than rinsed spaghetti hoops. Thanks for your honesty, I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. In the wacky world of Tattle Jack, there’s always someone here. Take care and please don’t be hard on yourself - I guarantee you’re doing your best xI don't post here often.

Hey, welcome back. It is really hard. I'm about to brush my furry teeth if you want to join in. I've had so much sugar today, it's frightening. But it's what's getting me through the days at the moment. That, and peanut butter.I don't post here often. I do when I'm on good form. Those times have been less and less the last two weeks.

When I am bad I try to only focus on one thing. Rather than think 'I'm not getting up, not brushing my teeth, not doing housework' etc etc etc, and get into a panicky spiral about everything, I pick just the one thing, for me it would be teeth cleaning I think, do that, try and congratulate myself for it and if I then go back to bed for another few hours then so be it.I don't post here often.

Sadly no. I am choosing to think it's because it got lost in the many mentions he must get.Did you hear back from Richard Osman @Flumps ?
