The Conjuring’s a good one - the whole 70s vibe of it. I thought Hereditary was similar, to be honest - as it had a lazy, slow-moving but creepy undercurrent. I wouldn’t say it was a masterpiece, but I really really liked it. Yes, both raw and interesting explorations of grief as a catalyst for the horror.

Same for me re: Midsommar! I said ‘Holy fuck’ really loudly and my 12-year-old, who was meant to be asleep upstairs told me to stop swearing

There you go, Jack! Some Sunday night viewing recos for ya babe X

I love Richmond meat-free sausages (to be honest even the meat content of their meat ones are questionable) and prefer them to bog-standard meat sausages. I’m a bit funny about food textures so most sausages make me boak.

I love Linda McCartney’s hoisin duck. We had that the other day in bao buns.

I can’t get on with Quorn. We’re meat-eaters (although other half went vegetarian for a year and our 9yr old tried veganism for all of a week) but we do love eating veggie/vegan meals a lot. I prefer eating veg-based meals rather than meat replacements. I’ve tried many times using meat-free mince but the texture never seems to be quite right. I liked Vivera but it’s too expensive to feed 4 of us.

I really hated Hereditary, the ending really sucked, but I loved Midsommar, a very bleak, very beautiful feminist fable.

The more I think about it, the more bizarre it is. Being able to cook is a basic life skill that most people can and should learn. I’ve had partners who ‘couldn’t’ (see: wouldn’t) cook and although it obviously wasn’t a deal breaker it did make me feel like I was their mum at times. I can’t imagine finding a lack of skill and interest in cooking attractive, especially as a grown adult. It just comes across as so juvenile

Food warehouse which is like an Iceland superstore have a decent vegan range. Same as they sell in Iceland but a much bigger range.

They do mushroom burgers which I really liked. They do vegan sausage rolls as well. Vegan pizza. They also do vegan ice cream cones.

I don’t shop at Tesco much but I like the high protein noodles, which are vegan. If I find something I like to eat I tend to eat it quite a lot and then move onto something else. Just a matter of trial and error I suppose. I used to eat quorn a lot when I was vegetarian but not so much these days.

Home bargains also do Henderson’s relish which is similar to lea and Perrins with no anchovies and it’s half the price of the lea and perrins for almost the same size of bottle. Lidl sell the Linda McCartney sausages as well and in my local Tesco the Linda McCartney stuff is always on offer. Probably because it’s over priced in the first place in there.

Says a lot for the way she thinks, if she'd rather her partner was rubbish at something just so she could feel the best, and therefore more dominant.

Not only that, but her “type” seems to be women who are quite a bit older, more affluent and more successful than her. I’m not surprised she feels the need to be dominant when it comes to cooking, because in every other respect she is the partner who needs the most looking after.

I sort of get the sentiment here (though of course it completely contradicts her other tweet). I cook 95% of our meals, partly because I enjoy it and partly because my husband really doesn't and is happy with many other chores I hate. But every now and again I can't be bothered. On those days, my pre-teen makes us pasta and tomato sauce or jacket potatoes and brand or we get take away. It's not exactly rocket science.

She’s lost loads of weight now, but telling everyone it’s not on purpose. Cue her in a few months “coming out” as having an eating disorder and then telling us all about her recovery. Just like her supposed alcoholism.

Just an incredibly attention seeking drama queen who loves playing the victim.

She said she’s been offered I’m a celebrity but turned it down as she didn’t want to be away from her son for weeks.

The best vegan sausages and burgers I've found are Naked Glory.

Good texture, nice and moist and a great flavour.

@Pocahontas I've just watched the trailer for Midsommar... I’m going to watch it. I was put off by the “horror” label, creepy I can deal with. Going to find somewhere I can watch it!

Haha, you’ve said it so much more humanely! I think my thought came from the feeling I’d get if I went off on holiday and left a really convoluted and shoddy script/code for someone else to pick up - that’s her life all the time and it’s that anxiety which makes me feel for her. But then she’s also the architect of that, so .
Ooh, thanks to @PennyLoafer too! Sinister, unsettling, darkly funny beauty is just my just my tin of rinsed beans and I’m looking forward to what other dreadful treasures this cabal of hideous hausfraus will uncover .

My latest contribution to the vegan wing of the cabal is Oomph. Sadly it’s only available in my local hippy supermarket but all the versions I’ve tried are delicious. I also rely on the little dehydrated soya chunks from Holland & Barrett... roasted with veggie stock, preserved lemons, butternut squash, bulgar wheat, lemon thyme and agave...

Now, that IS a sensible and ethical decision if it is true - leaving a kid who has had plenty of people in his life leaving and not coming back as it is, frankly abusing lifeforms (there is no need for tanks of animals that get squashed or eaten for the benefit of the audience) and it's a ticket to mainstream media slaughter.

For I'm a Celeb they'll cast a wide net each year, see who says they would do it and then narrow it down from there. She may well have been approached but that doesn't mean even if she'd expressed interest she'd have got cast. They do tend to have an online famous person so maybe she'd have got in, maybe she wouldn't. I imagine she thinks she's more Strictly material as it's less grubby reality.
