Full house 
Also, THERE WAS NO MEAL PLANNING! Come on squig, pay attention. Dealing with the hard of thinking is tiring
It’s not saved Jack money though, she’s got hundreds of pounds of unused food at home! Silly cow.
On the same principle…I managed to do my shop today for only £7.25…a bottle of wine and a bag of crisps. (Already had food in!)
They shoot, they score
This is exactly the correct way to make porridge. With a wee spoon Lyles black treacle (in the red tin) stirred in on high days and holidaysBeen there, done that, got the sick bucket!
OT (slightly) but being of Scottish descent (my grandfather, so Scotland and the Scots really are close to my heart), our porridge was and always will be made with water with a pinch of salt, as we were always told, "that's how the real Scots do it".As a milk hater
I can't imagine making porridge made with it as I'd probably gag.
Jack would be interested in a woman I follow on Instagram, she prices up all her goodies when she posts recipes and makes some really cheap things. Things that actually look delicious and edible - I've tried several and they turned out great, and I'm no Delia Smith!She would also probably benefit from following someone like The Budget Mom - she's done some GREAT stuff money-wise and helps folks (as well as it now being her business) to get out of debt. She also has sleeves of tattoos, so bonus for Jack!
PS Do you suppose she went to the mortgage appointment alone and named old Harold as the other party, then brought it up with him, hence causing a ruckus?
PPS on the subject of tattoos - why does she think she's so avant garde in relation? I'm well into my sixties (sadly
(Sorry, I realise I overuse those emojis!)

WHICH IS IT
I'm desperately trying to catch up with these threads, but I don't believe that Laurie has ever identified as a lesbian, always bi/pan. I used to know her in real life - and am also a bisexual married to a man!
But she said she’s going to do some batch cooking this weekend
? If I were going to Glastonbury I’d be too excited for performance bullocks such as hers.
God she’s a feckin numpty isn’t sheThen and now
Do we reckon she will actually turn up at Glastonbury then? Or stay at home to traumatise content some more?
Having ignored my family for at least half the day I’m extremely excited to share that I’ve, for the first time ever, caught up on a thread as it’s still live and I would like to say:
you are all very very funny, I’ve had a very nice time reading page after page, even though for most of the day I’ve been consistently 10 pages behind which has made me feel like I’m chasing a startled horse
- every time I think I’m getting somewhere it move
JM is such a self congratulatory knob head.
enjoyed her tweet about the oat milk, moo cheese etc - stuff that her target audience would be in no position what so ever to afford
also, I’m so confused about the UHT hate, I cannot tell the difference at all
anyway - hello
and thanks!

I don't understand why she only likes these tweets but never retweets them. Surely this is better self-promotion than performative grocery shopping?
If I was supposed to be at Glastonbury by midday tomorrow I'd be travelling now! I was in the area earlier this week and there are LOTS of roadworks and road closures. I've got family who live just outside Glastonbury and it's very busy apparently.But she said she’s going to do some batch cooking this weekend
I've seen Kit de Waal speak
She's super down to earth and from a WORKING-CLASS background, her family fostered children which provided the inspiration for one of her books - she worked her way up into a career in law IIRC, then Creative Writing Masters.I wonder if Jack will try to bond with her about her experiences
I wonder if it's because although she likes to talk about her 120 hour work weeks, she doesn't want her squigs to see the sorts of things that probably come with a reasonable pay day e.g. presenting awards, the superdrug stuff.
One thing I don't understand about her followers is - do they not know how to shop on a budget, or even shop at all? Why all the excitement over what she bought at Asda?
What she's doing isn't exactly groundbreaking; have a scout around the kitchen, make a shopping list, go to the shop, buy inexpensive food. The only difference is she doesn't appear to have purchased anything that could make a single square meal. Oh, and quark.
