Went to type 'pumble' on my phone earlier in a reply. First time it to "purple", the second time "pube less", then the phone rang and I was tying to explain to my eldest why I was sniggering. Can't even remember what I was going to reply to/with now.

You would hope her pumble would be pube less but lets face it, with her “cooking” you never know

It's a sub-set of what Mrs Everytown and I refer to as "inspirational shit on the wall." Homes Under the Hammer is good for cringey examples, but Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away always had some irony-tinged classics.

I'm worried as my phone autocorrects to sh1tter now. Jack knows that everything on here ends up back on the hellsite so I can't imagine what idiotic dim excuse she’s struggling to come up with now. Perhaps we'll get to see the terrible scar?

Nothing is as bad as those Live , Laugh Love signs.
Apart from asking people to dance like nobody is watching.
My neighbour is always watching. She is old and bored bless her.

The way she describes things is stomach churning. As thick as her thumb and as dark as her morning coffee. Talking about the scab I take it? Urgh, vile NOBODY asked but more detail = definitely true, right?

My eldest (sorry, DS1 ) had a habit of this. “Oscar, have you finished your homework already?”

“Yeah but what happened is Mrs Green was off so we had that substitute teacher remember the one from Maths last year on the day where Dan’s mum had that car crash when the bloke in the green Polo reversed into her at Sainsbury’s well that substitute teacher was in and didn’t know what page we were up to in that textbook you bought for me in September the one I lost when I stayed round Michael’s for his birthday and we played FIFA all night well I won the tournament that night and we went to the trampoline park on the Sunday well anyway so like we went over the last two pages again and then they said don’t worry you can all hand it in next week instead”

<sigh>

“Just say ‘no’, Oscar. Get off the fucking Xbox”

We had no bathroom and an outside toilet, no clue, no clue at all

I've never seen a 'first morning coffee' coloured scar. Maybe something to add to her list of ailments and injuries

The first coffee of the morning usually makes me want to have a shit, and if I’ve had a glass of red wine with dinner like usual, then… I can guess the colour.

Ugh, those literary festivals bookings are so depressing. They just wheel out the same old same old, even proven liars with a bombed and discredited book
So many of these events are just a bunch of well-off lefties patting themselves on the back about how socially aware they are and how they're making the world better by giving space to marginalized voices. And I say that as a leftie
myself.

Joining from the past to suggest Jack's memoir title. A reflection on her life, most recent craft creations and past works.

Tin can dull

(get it? Tin candle, tin can cook? No. OK... Off I go away again then)

Mithering like a proper ninnie here if Atomic Shrimp on that there utube has put his pound a day food challenge up to £1.37 after failing on £1 and working out the food inflation % will Jack's £20.00 shop now be £27.40 a week .
I know it's always £20.00 ( see her previous answers).

May I introduce you to Jack's (probably not gifted) neon sign... "Let's hang something cool here"?
