Lads, sincere apologies for the delay but Happy New Year to you all🥳
Since the stroke of midnight and for the past 15hrs 23mins I've been committed to my 2023 resolutions of solidly reading books and not being a massive, lying bleep-trumpet.

So far I'm absolutely smashing it.

She couldn’t even be bothered to do new recipes for this new book, so why for the website?
I can’t believe her editor let her get away with it. They’re either useless or past caring.

Remember when THAT MAN was doing some sort of one pot project, so Jack decided to do 30 days of one pot recipes? I don’t think we got a single one.
Wasn't there something organised on Instagram of posting one month of delicious recipes daily that Jack tried to join? I seem to recall she lasted one day.

Really makes you think.

Happy New Year ninnies
Note, as always…”me and SB” - the fact she considers herself a writer/author/journalist yet can’t get it right, but very telling who’s front and centre of all things in her life. 😏

As a (completely ashamed) previously book owning Frau I can confirm that literally every book had several crossover recipes from previous books and as someone in my industry 🔺️ I heavily questioned this and came to the conclusion that she must be such a nightmare for deadlines it was let slide.

Why does everything have to be done "gently". She's not a bleeping Fabergé egg.

Oh BE FAIR dearest Krabs. You’re forgetting the upside down several years in the making “mad wild head” delicious looking fish pie that she raced to get out there out of SPITE because Jamie was about to make one on his show.
ETA Yum!!! it even has a terrified little slop-creature, a very teeny demon and an confused looking walrus-whiskered fish thing in it

Dearheart, we were gifted Upside Down fish pie aka Fish in sauce over instant mash. A recipe that was seven years in the making. How could you forget?!

Yeah Jack, other than the house/flat you’re obviously already in the process of buying, if your past New Year’s resolutions/“goals” are anything to go by I’m not 100% convinced of your ability to follow through…

Hmmm… she hasn’t eaten meat for 2 years?! I guess that Vegan resolution for 2016 stuck?!

And then the resolution that dare not speak its name for 2021. (This is the year that she was also about to go all The Good Life having built a “compost tumbler” on NYE 2020)

Jack. This is why nobody believes a word you say. Get help.

EDIT - to add a timestamped version of the latter tweet because she’s a slippery little fucker

So there will be four blogs this week then.
How long will that last?
If she manages one this week I'll be amazed.
Who remembers around this time last year, she promised 3 recipes a day. She didn’t manage day one, then it was never spoken of again.

edit - I see Marm has beat me to it. I shall get grunking! I’m now watching this wolf woman story as well.

Read and finish a book every other day?! That is someone with way too much free time on their hands.
… and money.

It’s funny because when mid-grift and previously showing her apparent outgoings, she has never even alluded to this apparent 100+ quid a month book habit ..

Could there be another guitar? The one she was lugging and never sold is different from the pawned/replaced one gf bought?

Following on from @Valiofthedolls ...

This is a repeat posting. Sorry x
Why are there empty drawers on the top shelf? When did she decide to replace these with the wilko baskets?

WTF puts empty drawers from chest of drawers on shelves in the kitchen?

Don’t answer.

And this is her problem.....with her compulsive need to brain fart every thought onto twitter she sets herself up for utter failure....have a day off, get help, steer clear of social media and have a real hiatus until you have done some serious soul searching, healing and growing as a person and then get a job and join us all in the real world....it's not all shits and giggles and sausage rolls but there's authenticity to be found and I bet you'll be happier and maybe a bit less of a self indulgent, deluded thunder.....I'll let you finish the rest....as you were....
