Congratulations to our favourite Tax Man avatar @Flash123 for the winning title, your prize? Well it’s not filed accounts, that’s for sure. Take your pick from this pile of delightfully home-dyed clothes which were previously stained and unwearable and now are...oh.

Second prize to @Boyo for “dyethagoras” nommed by er me.
This thread got off to a chaotic start being started twice with two different titles. What are we on?

Who’s up for a recap? Nobody, the light has gone from our eyes and everything is depressing. Why?

1. Jack is very down and it’s making for uncomfortable viewing
2. To hammer home how bad things are Jack dyed £800 worth of clothes black and will only wear black from now on
3. There has been a LOT of timeline-squashing. What brings you joy? What’s your favourite, red lemonade or brown?
4. Oh 💩 she got a terrified looking kitten Whose name is a portmanteau of “mithering ninny” this is the best animal-named-after-the-canal since Frau Viv Squiggle the sheep
5. Not so much breadcrumbing as chucking whole bags of kingsmill, there’s a third person staying over.
6. Jack claimed not to know what Fifteens are, so she did
7. Only one more sleep until the 2nd annual Sloppies eeeeeek
8. Jack Monroes network bandwidth has been cut off apparently, no WiFi for months!
9. Jack’s been out on a train and found a new insult “maskhole” which she’s trying to make happen. It probably won’t happen because it means the opposite of what she thinks it means

Lads, lads can you write “nominate” when you’re nominating a thread title, this makes it easier to search the thread to see whose won
Aww… @Saint_clemmie deserves all the credit for coining the phrase to be fair!

*If* those rumours are true that is terribly sad.
What a pickle she got herself into.

As for the kitten/Cooper pictures. Obviously to prove how well they get on. Just makes me very uneasy 😬

Sorry to hear you're poorly @Jay-cloth Cow @Rekyavikgirl and @Fruitjack ❤ may you be well soon. Wee girl is feeling rotten so we're away for a PCR today. Hoping it's negative.

Mumsnet feels like its playing with fire with those posts. Can't believe they're still up.
Yes, much love to you guys and any other covid ninnies right now. I’m hoping to lie low and avoid it as although I had it in Feb 2 people I know have caught it again recently and last Christmas I obeyed the rules and didn’t yomp to the chippy with symptoms.

I've just googled Zoe Eccentricity and landed on Thread 99 where legend @ChocolateMuffin said that "eccentricity is definitely French for wanker" and it has given me a bad case of the 🦉🍾s.

Just popping in to share this sad picture of a recently deceased baby flamingo... and to wish the cabal a very Merry Christmas. To be on topic, I too have concerns about the kittens dilated pupils. As you were chaps. Much love.

GLOWINGLY?!

"Jack Monroe uses beetroot in her version, but my testers and I find it too sweet."

"Monroe makes vivid green spinach pancakes for her version, explaining that it “acts as a barrier between the vegetables and the pastry, keeping the former tender and the latter perfectly crisp”, but much of the water should have already been evaporated from the pre-cooked mushrooms, spinach and squash, so I don’t think this layer is necessary."

I feel every mention of Jack in any article should say in capitals at the beginning "JACK MONROE CANNOT COOK, HAVE A POT NOODLE INSTEAD."
