I had to work today and got so far behind. Why does she do her best chaos when I'm busy? I have questions/observations.
1. That mash. I'd never heard of Poppy Cooks, did a google. Turns out she's the "potato queen", I already love her. She has a video for the "best" ever mash and the end result looks like Jack's. If she'd cooked it herself, any smart person would have cooked it Poppy's way, photographed it along and promoted the book and the mash. Or at least pretended she did because it looks kind of similar.
2. Who the hell takes a shopping trolley on a woodland hike. I know she's in abject poverty and cannot afford butter but surely she or the boy have a backpack. What's he taking his lunch to school in? I hope to god it's not that trolley poor lad. It's not enough that the kids at school can laugh at his cuddly toy, he has to take a shopping trolley to cart his book home each day. Who wakes up and thinks "lovely day for a hike, climb up some steep slopes, go over some rough terrain and tree roots, shall i take a bag I can carry or shall I take this big thing with wheels?"
3. She's Instagramming like my mother in law on holiday. No one cares Janet.
4. She's mixed up the flapjack and granola recipes. Like Rachel's trifle, she's clearly merged two recipes to make one inedible slop.
5. Could it have always been a custody plan that the boy went to his dad's when he got to high school? The way she says "weekends are NOW precious", like she's never considered spending time with him at weekends before. My daughter lives with me full time, I work full time, she's just started school. We do stuff like go trampolining and visit the grandparents at the weekend. I also cook her dinner. You'll never believe this guys, but I cook her dinner every night. I'm going to start putting it on instagram for all those likes.
