There's a social supermarket near me that charges £5 for a basket of goods worth £20. I've used them a few times -- it's similar to a food bank except that you contribute, it's not free. Quite useful but the goods available are sometimes a bit random. There's only so much pasta and tinned soup a person can eat.
Wait, wut? Our @WoolyMammoth has a skincare range?I’m hoping I can just lure in enough amazon drivers to reduce my petfood bills atm…we don’t have pets but keep getting hopeful random scrawny wildlife critterlings turning up opportunistically.
Cheese prices seem to have gone absolutely crazy recently. I think I’m going to have to go to the park and wait for a dealer to pop up.
Salmon is a bit pricey really, but a) I have an autoimmune thing and b) am really gullible and overoptimistic, so as soon as I read about the Next Amazing Thing that’ll magically cure it, I leap on the bandwagon for a few weeks until I get disillusioned and move onto trying Epsom Salts or Mammoth Collagen instead…
I’m sorry but this is hilarious. I don’t even think it’s a case of over exuberant “portrait mode”, either. I can’t decide what’s worse though - facetuning everyone in a group photo or only doing yourself so everyone else looks rough.
She has facetuned the sky and a washing machine before.
I honestly can't see it. I see my own mother in her and the way she speaks publicly about SB... I am to blame for ruining her career by showing up. Fairly sure she doesn't want another kid.
Ditto menopause monthly shop. Firstly, the list that has usually taken 3 weeks to write is on the kitchen table. Secondly, so are the shopping bags.I’ve been there.
Q: What’s for tea?
A:
1. Ibuprofen
2. Paracetamol
3. Tunnock’s Teacakes
4. Pickled-onion Monster Munch
5. Canned chocolate pudding
6. Instant macaroni as the guilty ‘healthfood’ option.
7. Not Poodles

What is this actually doing?
It sounds like something we need here (deeply remote area, many struggling). There isn't a restaurant or shop within walking distance for anybody not in the heart of the villages to pick up food going spare at the end of the day, so much of it goes to chickens and the odd pig or two, or on compost heaps to grow more veg to sell in the local shops. There must be food going out of date though.... I'm going to look further into this.
Bypassing the electric meter
Am telling
Bypassing the meter. ( @mchops got there first!)
She's tight as a ducks arse, all her money is hers as a bulwark against the indignity and trauma of briefly claiming benefits between brewstied birds. So no. She's in the bog or taking an urgent call when it's her round.
What? NO REPRINT????!!!!
I suspect there are a couple of things going on. There’s no way in the world she’d have let the anniversary (and the ten year anniversary at that) of Hunger Hurts pass by without an anniversary post really ramping up the histrionics last year. She’d already done anniversary posts in a number of other years that had started to become increasingly lurid, lie strewn and exaggerated (see: You don’t batch cook when you’re suicidal, 2020). HH2 isn’t really much of a step up from that grift and lying-wise, other than it being so melodramatic it’s basically nonsensical.
The
The brown wires are the live - 1 goes up to the meter, measures the current /electrickery passing through, whizzes the counter round to rip you off extortionately, then comes down from the meter to supply your house. Blue is neutral to stop the whole caboodle short-circuiting. (think blue = negative, brown =positive). The spoon carries the current from the incoming supply straight to the house supply without going near the meter. It is a very bad idea to try this (unless you know what you are doing, and fancy 3 hots and a cot when caught!).
