Idon't know why they mess about with digestive biscuits. Some things should just be left alone and unfancy (although chocolate ones are ok).

The best jaffa cakes ever, are the Aldi value ones, so good.
Morrisons 25p value ones are really rather good too (y) Proper jaffa cakes are both expensive and very dry.

Dishoom, whilst absolutely lovely, has 8 branches serving the same food. It is not unique to Edinburgh or necessary to travel 500 miles for the experience.
This has pissed me off lol. She seriously lacks imagination doesn’t she? Edinburgh has so many wonderful restaurants she may as well have popped into Wahaca!

I desperately do not want to detract from the seriousness of the convo, but unruly labia gave me a snort
There’s an interview somewhere out there, or maybe a deleted tweet, or a YouTube cringe video, or an Instagram story, where she makes strong hints that she’s a hermaphrodite. Does anyone remember that? May or may not have been related to the ‘three pairs of knickers unruly labia’ stage. 🤦‍♀️

Two conflicting stories about the autism diagnosis, which she doesn’t seem to mention in any articles before 2018 when Aspergers becomes more in public eye after Greta and Chris packham said they were. Before this she just talks of the transgender diagnosis, has she really invented this to fit the present trend . It’s ridiculous how no one (apart from here ) is picking up on this ?!

I think that was on her mumsnet AMA? Cabal?

it’s the mumsnet thread I think. The one where she also says she takes herself away to the Yorkshire dales when her fame ‘all gets too much’. The one where she is in the cinema furiously typing while her son is trying to enjoy the BFG.

Also I know this opinion has been contentious with other friends of mine, but as a poor person, it properly grinds my gears seeing rich people buy up all the yellow stickers! Leave them for us lot! You can afford the good stuff!
Sorry, but she’s got to snap up all the yellow stickers to save some pennies. Soft blue cashmere jumpers don’t come cheap you know...

We’ve been to some lovely little places down the side streets of Edinburgh, and they’ll be the ones needing custom the most right now. So far, she’s been to sainsburys, and Dishoom. What’s next, the Shell garage and pizza express? (No offence to either) I went to Dishoom in London about half an hour after it opened, but I live here, and this is after we’ve been ordering and buying loads locally to give them at least a little bit of support. No way would I travel hundreds of miles without my children to eat manky chicken and drink espresso

Why can't she just live in the moment and give her son her undivided attention? Granted the cinema isn't exactly interactive but I know that I would have been crushed if my mum took me to the cinema and was occupied by something else. Same with the Harry Potter story, I don't like speculating too much on her relationship with her son but it really does seem from these kind of posts (and this is just what she shares with the world) that he is considered, at best an afterthought, at worst a nuisance (god my weird little brain isn't functioning today, I spelt that as nuicanse then couldn't for the life of me work out why it looked so wrong)

Why did she turn comments off? They were just too distracting, maybe? Or did she get some negative responses to her ad for Dishoom?

She has to create a story or drama behind every single thing. I think her implying she is intersex probably just comes from her having large / ‘unusual’ labia, and of course she can’t be one of the many women who don’t have stereotypical pornstar labia - she has to dramatise it

Actually, as she hasn't listed any medication in her multitude of pills or photographed anything that would affect her immune system, she's actually got a vastly improved immune system compared to most. That's the point of RA and the ilk - it's so super strong and sensitive that it doesn't just zap every virus and bacteria in sight, it does it to the various body systems as well.

You know those people who, in an office or school outbreak of the flu, norovirus, chickenpox, colds, coughs and everything else who are the last ones left standing after everybody else has succumbed? Yep, we're those people. I'm one of those people. On the rare occasion that you do get ill, with an uncontrolled immune response, you can become very unwell, but on the whole, you just don't get sick.

The trade off is that you feel tit for other reasons, but you don't catch much, even when in direct contact with people with infection.


Taking medication (a combination of, not just one) like MTX, Humira, oral steroids, etc, etc, takes your risk of infection down to normal, and if not managed carefully through regular blood tests, can then make you more vulnerable. But she isn't taking any combination of those, as we all know a bunch of deliveries of pen injectors and sharps bins would have got pride of place in the Poundshop Damien Hirst medication tableaux.
What made me laugh is that they are the same thing, as someone who is immunocompromised (Amgevita, humiras cheap cousin) I have a compromised immune system (cause of the drugs, not my crohn’s). Though ironically get less ill than I did before I had my disease under control

Hi! New Member here but long time observer ;) I saw why she turned the comments off on IG, someone asked what happened to Cooper and did she take him with her to Edinburgh because he must be grieving and lonely after losing the kitten. There was a rude response but didn't read it completely. Good to virtually meet you all.

Has anyone been to The Fishmarket in Edinburgh? The fish and chips looks amazing.

The Edinburgh-Glasgow preference is quite interesting. With the poverty cos-play, left-wing SJW side of her, you'd think she'd prefer Glasgow, which has the more working-class/lefty image. Edinburgh has a slightly posher, middle-class image - and its certainly that Edinburgh that she's seeking out, not Trainspotting Edinburgh. (note: both Glasgow and Edinburgh have areas of great wealth and great poverty).
