I love peaches , just not tinned ones. I don't hate cats, they are just not my pet of choice. I could always sort out your cutlery drawer, whether you kept it tidy after would be up to you.


I am sure we would get on just fine

@MancBee are you the source of the Manchester green parrots? (Bored of Jack's non tweeting so starting my own rumours/chaos)

Unfortunately no. Rumour has it that they were let free when they closed Belle Vue Zoo in 1977. They managed to find places for all the big animals, but just opened the cages for the little birds.

Though I like your rumour better.

Do the sheep think he’s alright though?
I just cooked a thai red curry. Micro rice. I used the blue dragon thaipastepot, a stock cube, a few handfuls of frozen veg (green beans, peppers, sweet potato) frozen onion and garlic. Half a tin of coconut milk. The rest of the tin is frozen for the next curry. Microwave rice. I think this probably didn’t cost much for two generous servings. It’s tasty and a kid could do It with supervision. It’s like cooking isn’t actually that hard?it fucking was yesterday because I couldn’t stand up so I just ate Jaffa cakes and crisps

I'm very disappointed in myself. I have been influenced. Last night I dreamt I made a stirfry and put sugar puffs in it.

Yup, looking at the top, that's professional. I cut my own fringe but I use my late mother's proper hairdressing scissors, lovingly retained since her apprenticeship. I deliberately make it choppy as it's a nightmare to get straight. In addition, my hair waves, particularly on short bits like a fringe, so that uneven bits are hidden and even a professional cut looks horribly uneven in five minutes of drying.

I've got one too - a couple of years ago from George at Asda!

It seems the “competition” is just a set of advertorials being run on a load of magazine websites - didn’t click through them all but I imagine they are all in the same publishers stable.

104 cans! Not too shabby - I would keep half a dozen and give the rest to a food bank but I won’t enter because it offers credence to the idea that Del Monte and Jack Monroe is a partnership of worth. Plus, I don’t want the damn books! One of the comper kings and queens can have fun thinking of ways to eat the damn things!

Wow, what a find! 104 cans... but how many books?

I couldn’t believe lifedeathprizes .com was a real website but here it is. (No shade to them though, I love ”trashy“ things and have some very lowbrow tastes )

Plan.

We all enter.

The four winners are all tattlers.

We give all of the peaches to Poca.

We send the bungles of books to the various copyright libraries around the U.K. (BL, Bodleian, Cambridge UL, National library of Wales, National library of Scotland) with handwritten notes telling them how worried we are that these national treasures will be lost from history and that these copies are to be kept with Newton’s Principia Mathematica/Darwin’s first edition/ The Cuthbert Gospel.

Before donating the bungle we have to take a recipe each and cook it

Can we all make wicker men too and present the resulting slop/brick bread/fluorescent cakes to the statues at the solstice?

We can all wave and chant and dance in synchrony around the country as the sun rises on the beautiful June day.

(Long week, sorry for going off piste again. This is what happens when Jack isn’t here.)

On what frequency of consumption have they worked 104 cans out to be a years worth of tinned peaches?

I love tinned peaches for the record, my gran used to give us tinned peaches and ice cream and I’ve been known to indulge in the same even though my Gran is DEAD!
One thing is for certain, I have actively avoided del monte since they partnered with jack monroe, the peoples pov

it would be usual in rehab to address other, neglected, health concerns. dental, gynae, etc so she may well be having treatment for these too. But she is definitely a rehab outpatient.
You know, I think you could be right here!
Nothing else quite fits totally.
Can you IMAGINE being in rehab with Jack Monroe!
That would be an absolute nightmare.
