If you do, it won’t help her. She’s a massive pacifist who’s not a fan of war AT ALL.

Damn right!
"All
12 hour days only work, productively, when done as 4 on 4 off or similar. It is not possible to retain productivity for 12 hours a day to the extent it is retrained long term on shorter days.
There's an absolute hipton of books on this, and some of the most successful people manipulate their productivity to end up barely working at all. There is a huge productivity curve that can be harnessed to extract the most work and most output (money, reports, whatever) per person which although varies slightly (things like reading speed and attention span have an impact) never result in 12 hours of work being the most lucrative for output based jobs. So she's wasting her life pretending to work for hours you can't work usefully for.
If you're working 12 hour days at a job where you aren't required to be present and act whilst there (nurse, hairdresser, Dr, security, reception desk are acting presently) and can work on producing pieces of work (writer, journalist, etc), then your productivity is 2x or 3x more important than your worked hours. If you're a nurse then they don't want you for 12 hours for 7 days because by day 7 you're so tired you can't take the care you did on day 1.
If you're working 80 hours a week, in a job requiring outputs not attendance, then you are doing it horrifically wrong. You couldn't do it worse. No wonder the output is flat biscuits with pencil holes labelled as crumpets. If she worked a 40 hour week she might have been able to learn to make them.
Guessing she was slagging off her formerly beloved Sainsbury’s?!
A couple of months earlier, on her blog
Not sure why she was still “filling her trolley” there in December in that case tho… guess she’ll still happily shop there, but not “promote them on her website”? Sounds about right.

I know it's too early, but THREAD TITLE NOMINATION HERE!
Even Sainsbury's posh carrots are cheaper than the tinned ones
I appreciate that prices now are different (an index of some sort could demonstrate that I'm sure...), but back when tinned carrots were 20p, what would a Kg of fresh have been? 35p? The difference isn't enough for her to even claim the initial outlay is cheaper and so if you're poor, that's what you'd buy. If you're skint, you'll push your pennies around enough to stretch the extra 15p or whatever to have a big bag of carrots that'll last you a while. She just made up tit as she went along, but said it with such absolute confidence, that the majority of people reading believed her.
How dare she say that when she effectively weaponises food?
Every meal she makes is an offence against the Geneva Convention!
they're two words. I think it’s the German fraus that mash all the words into one, tenderSouthLads, I’m not sure this is Jack. Surely she should have put Σαςευχαριστώ as one word*

THANK YOU. It’s such a classic ‘it’s popular because everyone has been told it should be popular’, and is generally why I don’t trust recommendations these days because nobody has the ability to think critically about even the most banal tit anymore. Same with White Lotus, Line of Duty etc etc. It’s all just so tit! And I’m not even an artsy frau with particularly refined tastes, I love stupid/tit things! Just don’t sell it to me like it’s oscar-bait! I’m not the head here! *moves to the next cloud*
Omg I only heard about the Hilaria Baldwin thing recently. It instantly reminded me of Jack. So funny.

Wait until she finds out John Wayne was really called Marion Morrison.
Her name was Norma Jeane. Can't even get that right. Fastidious, my a. Superpower of being medically incapable of making mistakes. CONFIRMED.
In many, if not most, supermarkets, you can buy loose carrots.
Mr Mice and I often treat ourselves to a single carrot (roughly 9p) to enjoy with our Sunday lunch. If we're flush, we may even gat two and have one each.
It’s always been about not tiring out her little legs on the way back from the shops.

Also you'll have saved a quid by not needing to buy a tin opener.
Morrisons occasionally send me money off deals off a shop which more than cover any delivery costs.
Im not a fan of online shopping and only do it when I’m sick/or need a big full of cupboards with tins. Most supermarkets give a discount the first time you do a home delivery so rather than trekking to the supermarket 3 times you could get it delivered in one go.
For someone who is surrounded by so many amazing supportive friends she sure seems to lack people who would just give her a quick run back from the supermarket, what is it, a couple of miles?

Yet her little Ernie Wise legs were able to carry a large wriggling dog for a mile. And at the time she had her crumbling shoulder so she couldn't brush her hair and mainly ate with a spoon.It’s always been about not tiring out her little legs on the way back from the shops.

Wasn't she meant to be having a shoulder replacement at some point?
£40 a year pre paid for delivery isn't the cheapest way to do anything.It’s always been about not tiring out her little legs on the way back from the shops.

Some online supermarkets offer a 99p delivery. I'm perfectly able to pay £2.99 but I'm happier to wait until the middle of the night to receive my shopping for £2 cheaper. I don't need 40 deliveries a year. I could also buy all the heavy or bulky stuff online and then buy the light stuff locally, if the main game was to get my groceries as cheap as possible. Benefits bar e.g. child benefit, if elected for weekly, are often paid every 4 weeks, so no gains to be made there particularly by a weekly shop. If I did a 4 weekly online shop, that's 13 a year, less than £13 in deliveries. If I'm living off tins not fresh I also don't need to worry about my potatoes and carrots becoming plants before I can use them. So monthly there would work.
I do weekly shops as I like fresh things and don't use many tins, and also have the money to plump for some convenience and not the time to make everything from scratch. But if I had no money I'd have more time so could flip that and do it cheaper but it would take longer. But not longer than my commute... So I think time wise I'd still be better off.
Do I need a book deal? Or can we just tell people this stuff for free or rely on them already knowing it as its common sense.
