I remember being very jealous of everyone during lockdown one I didn’t have a garden we had a little back yard so whilst everyone was on a sun lounger I was pinballing between the living room and sitting in the spare room wondering if treating myself to a comfier chair was going to lead to my arrest.

I quite like Monsoon but I’ve never found much in there to buy, if you know what I mean.
My mum tuts “social workers” as she goes past.
I rather like Monsoon, but my dress sense is more locum social worker than the effortlessly cool look I aspire to.

Is anyone else feeling a mixture of fury and despondency at seeing these posts from that day 18 months ago?

Almost, almost makes everything seem pointless at times.
Aww no don't let her get to you...just imagine Geoff Capes Jackie weightlifting an eleventy-million kg sideboard up and down the streets of sarfend. And the 'strongest mamapapa in the world' vibes' minus the Geoff Capes mustache - gets me everytime. Edit to add #1: failing that, like the Laurel and Hardy piano sketch
Edit to add #2: pic of Geoff lifting the wads of cash Fack needs to pay her tax bill...

Oh Marm, that has made me chuckle. In the middle of the night as well.

Can’t believe THAT MAN only lets you sign up for recipes, not buying his cast offs. He knows nothing about diversifying.

Mithering helped me through those dark days too although I was but a lurker in the early days. Missed the DKL ninny fest, I’d have loved that.

In honour of those balmy days of the first lockdown and the continued batshit behaviour from JM -

thread title nom: Unbridled wonderment and unfettered surrealism

See, this is how she survives. Squiggles like this Any other website/subscription, people would try their email address, maybe try it a second time, then it’d be “Sod this” and that would be that. But here we have a squiggle not only repeatedly trying to subscribe but also using multiple email addresses and then, rather than just giving up, messages Jackie in an apologetic tone to try and get it sorted. The mind boggles.

Frankly I’m quite surprised she hasn’t clambered merrily been hoisted aboard the Young Carer bandwagon yet.
I'm Grunking because I have huge banner ads that now obscure half the page so constant refresh etc so no idea where this will land but YCP would be ill-advised for Jack as there is a wiiiiide advocacy network for Young Carers in Southend and Essex, I imagine it would easy for holes to be picked in a back story by a well meaning advocate who is seeing things through independent eyes for the Young Carer themselves.
Edited for clarity
