At least Hilaria actually managed to marry her meal ticket.

Every time “film critic Jack” pops up I look forward to @rage naan’s furiously precise gutting of her trite little opinions.
We've been mithering about nepo babies on another thread with Beyoncé's pushing of Blue Ivy into the spotlight and I think the one thing I can applaud Jack for is scuppering her career so thoroughly and irretrieveably that's there's zero chance of the person with half her genes being culturally inflicted on us in the future. Chapeau!
Meanwhile, she does a million steps a day so may aswell just go once a day to buy today's dinner. Rather than wandering round in a circle not involving the supermarket. If things are heavy, get heavy things delivered, get a lift with friends or family, go more often to avoid waste and the weight of the bag.. So many options.
But no, £40 up front on a delivery pass. Which 2 weeks did she have to go without food to avoid that, as people in poverty won't have £40 to spend on deliveries for food they might not later be able to afford. If they struggled to carry it they'd be better buying a cheap meal in the cafe, than spending £40 on future deliveries and not getting any food from it.
Advance spending, on deliveries, or bulk buying, is for people with money who want to reduce their spend per use/per portion. Not for people on the breadline who don't have enough money to buy everything if they buy their delivery up front or a big pack of loo rolls.
I buy pet food, toiletries, washing power etc in bulk. It is much cheaper. But you have to be in a privileged position to be able to buy a stockpile of more than you need. She seems to forget that.
I had an exchange in the supermarket a while ago. I had more than the allowable paracetamol. As I'd added some ibuprofen too. Anyway also on the conveyor I had a 60 wash washing powder, and 24 loo rolls, and 3 large bottles of washing up liquid. The cashier told me they needed to take a pack of my tablets, no problem, in case I was at risk of unaliving myself. OK well anything which might help people in crisis. But I said to her who is planning not to be here tomorrow, but buys enough toilet rolls for a month, enough washing powder for 3 months, and enough fairy for a year. It's not like this stuff was easy to carry. You have to really want it. She laughed.
I reckon SB could make a decent career as a TV chef by doing everything completely opposite to his mother...
I was just thinking, what if years of being fed Jackslops made him develop a genuine interest in food and flavours? It'd be lovely if he was able to parlay that into a career, except we know she'd just be hanging about like a bad smell, trying to take credit for it.
I was browsing Emma Bridgewater the other day (in my day to day life I am a mini goth, but Christmas turns me into the most basic of basic witches) and came across this marvellous specimen
Which of course made me think of you fantastic lot. I'm a bit early with my New Year missives but I'm hoping to be less of a lurker in 2025 and onwards.
Bring the chaoi!

(me-rail ahead)
our beautiful cat had a medical scare a couple of days before christmas, leading to a very panicked rush to the emergency vet hospital and a fortune paid out for the OOH service. do i resent it? do i duck. i’m not sitting moaning and groaning about the cost of it; he’s my boy and i’d do anything for him without even thinking. as we sat, reaching the fourth hour in the waiting room, shaking with anxiety worrying about him, all i could think of was how Jack reacted to her cat needing medical care - complaining about the cost and trying to use it as a bizarre political point. nor would it ever cross my mind to withhold medical care from a cat dependent on me for my own hero complex.
(our boy is absolutely fine now, it was a LONG night but he’s back to fighting fit)
I'd quite like SB to get any sort of career in the spotlight and then write his memoir
I mean, she could also… get a taxi?
Surprised she doesn’t have a mobility scooter, with all her ailments, and pavements don’t have roundabouts
I'm so glad your lovely boy is now OK, and I hope he goes from strength to strength.
However as a multiple pet owner I can warn you that both dogs and cats carefully time sudden, critical conditions and serious accidents to co-incide with a) holiday periods and b) after veterinary surgery hours.
They are buggers for that.
There are bags of fresh Brussels sprouts in Sainsbury's for 9p. I didn't get them because bleh but that's the kind of quick, useful information people need. Then again, I'm still living the poor person life, not cosplaying it 
Also, I hadn't seen the MM chaos before but was I remotely surprised by her faux pas? Non. Heaven forfend she hold her hands up and say, my bad.

"SLOPPIE DEAREST" ?
Unless she was replacing her shoulder with a Cotswold Co sideboard and a scant few rusty spoons, the adorable little scamp might just have made that up to get attention (and cashos) from all her Internet friends.
cannot stop laughing at “Ernie Wise legs”
and mine. It's bleeping excruciatingly bad. I note guest has missed out The Front Room, new addition to the hagsploitation genre in which Hunter plays a racist demon worshipping stepmother in law from hell
That’s because she’s OBSESSED, RageyN.
But Asda won't do you a delivery for a £20 shop... And you get a £3 charge added if you spend less than £40. Most supermarkets have a similar policy, so how does this fit with JM's weekly £20 spend that feeds three adults plus leftovers for a scant handful of greedy goblins?

I did a guest today and yomped home from town with a plastic set of storage drawers, why? Because i needed them and they were cheap. It was not interesting or exciting, nobody told me to shut my legs or white trash shouldnt breed. I didn't have my ruck sack so i couldnt get any goats legs or any 20 pound shop... in fact, i fear i may have wasted my time and should have used my imagination to make my afternoom mote interesting.
This poor soul bravely tried to escape the swampy mush
If only he'd had a spoon
Fly high, oh valiant one
