Let's not forget the homeless of Edinburgh who were sooooo grateful to eat her yellow sticker concoctions whilst she was chowing down on Five Guys.
EDIT: Sorry I that see Lenny beat me to it. I always comment before I've fully grunked.

The compost tumbler, of course, how could I forget?! You're so quick!
This is truly your moment!
I BEG your pardon.
I'm also an allotment frau, and can but dream of a compost tumbler. They are very expensive ( but probably very good)
her bleeping toilet must be like a compost tumbler.
I’ve said this before, I think she is home with her parents, hence pictures of their cat, Sb is with his dad, and they were helping with the garden as she was or had already vacated the bungelow, and the landlady wanted a garden not a wilderness
OT/ but loving the Famous Five and Secret Seven references. We've been enjoying a bit of a Swallows and Amazons vibe recently as my brother cycled up to the southern end of Lake Coniston. He sailed his dinghy north, slept on it overnight, enjoyed a bracing swim in the lake before breakfast, and climbed a mountain when he got to the top end. I really hope this was accompanied by lashings of ginger beer. He'll be 66 next birthday. Sadly, he doesn't own a dog, but he does have three chickens. I don't suppose that counts.
I actually tried to break out of a room with a newspaper and a hair clip, it 100% was impossible to get the key to drop. This ruined my enjoyment of the film “Misery” in later life also.
On topic- no way could Jack maintain a boat
I think that is what I was trying to say and you have said it better than me. A lot of people think have a disability like autism or dyspraxia is an excuse for being lazy so her behaviour is not helpful to us.
It would be great if she did something to lift up other people who may face similar challenges but do not get paid to write about them for a national newspaper. A lot of people who talk a lot on social media about a lot of social justice issues seem to think they are the most oppressed person in the world when actually they have a lot to be grateful for. Jack made that article about Greta Thundburg and autism all about herself (which is ironic as Greta is totally focused on her cause and not cantering herself at all).
I also tried to do that as a child as well as using orange juice as invisible ink. You can see that something has been written in orange juice which defeats the entire purpose.
Everybody agrees that the Secret Seven are inferior to the Famous Five. Hotes is right, seven is just too many children, in any context. Jack likes to boast about her precocious reading, WELL at my primary school you had to finish reading a series of books (the final one was The Two Giants, if you want to be forensic about it) before you were given your hymn book and I, traumatised sideboard, was the first child to get their hymn book 
That's right, there's been a real former child genius in your midst this whole time!

I must be the odd one out...again.
No that’s particular to Salford and Manchester dear heart, hives of activityI must be the odd one out...again.
I thought that too.Looking back at the Dash photo she used from a year ago made me think.... She posted the picture of SB 'enjoying' her rank cabbage the other day with SB in the background. Now I'm no child expert, but they really don't look like the hands of an 11 year old boy to meDo we think she could have used an old photo to pretend SB was with her on that day like she (allegedly) has with the rabbit?
Nope, I was a Secret Seven fan too, never cared too much for the Famous FiveI must be the odd one out...again.

It was all about Mr. Meddle and Mr. Twiddle for me, when I first started school. Could not get enough of them. Would re-read them to death. That she thinks she is anything special because she could read at five. duck me!Nope, I was a Secret Seven fan too, never cared too much for the Famous Five
Me-rail ...Oh, and my sister is in the same age range as Jack - I had her reading easily by five too, by sneaking out the Billy Blue Hats/Roger Red Hats from the school library. One good thing about the 10 year age gap, at least! We were a single parent family by then and, let’s just say that the split was far from amicable and the parent with responsibility did not handle said responsibility well. Even then, I knew reading was another world to escape to!
I also had both my kids reading well by start of year one. It’s not that bleeping difficult or exceptional, Jackie - especially if you have kids that really dig reading to start.
I think you were meant to use lemon juice, not orange juice, on account of the how do I put it, orangeness of orange juice
I honestly cannot remember learning to read. I remember getting Ben and lad in my first year of school and then reading and reading alot like i still do. I didnt like the famous five or the secret seven( i liked Enid Blyton) but always preferred the more obscure books. Had the entire creepers collection and read alot about animals.
