How old was she? Either way you timed it for her and not for you so you absolutely did the right thing. I always wonder if I time it right, bit early, bit late. But the fact I am trying to time it as best I can says it all about how we value our non human family.
People who are unkind to animals stimulate a feeling in me that I can't describe, so I know it well. It's visceral for me. I'm not an angry or hateful person, but I truly actively hate people like that. Its my red line for anything. The people who are just neither animal lovers nor haters, the don't get involveds, I'm sad for them as they miss out on the joy of animals but I have no feelings either way towards them. Some just haven't ever had pets and can't fathom it, that's just different outlooks.

She's just a likeable woman cooking in her house. No more to it than that. She'll tell you if she's tried it before or if it's a first go. The cupboard looks empty and then some nice flatbreads are made. That sort of a thing. Quite often she's just putting something in and watching it as she isn't sure how long it might need. It's really accessible for those who find written recipes difficult or undesirable to follow. Just watch someone mess about then mess about yourself and get a meal at the end. Lovely.

You’re entitled to Pupil Premium funding under ever6 but not FSM - also PP goes direct to school and how they spend is the schools discretion. So I’d suspect he doesn’t. (I’m a teacher)
I just wondered as she maybe technically doesn’t have an income, could argue she’s a lone parent… dunno.
Yes. All you can do is alleviate their suffering at the end. If they aren't suffering, you can keep going and watch. If they are suffering, we can take that away for them. It's the most and the least we can do for them and I've never regretted a decision to do it but I've also never been less than devastated about it.I am so sorry, Dragon. The pain is so awful.
I posted something similar here when we had our beautiful boxer girl put to sleep at the far-too-early age of 7, and my rage at Jack was much as yours.
I still remember some of the kind words offered here, including ones from @TurnedUpInTipp that roll around my head more regularly than I’d care to admit - the last thing you did for them was an act of kindness.
All my love
looking for the Asda pic
also led me somehow to the index she did (sort of ) publish:
I haven't seen it mithered about a lot but it's full of the same old "blitz it and turn it into a pesto" and "throw it in soups stews and curries" that we know and love.
"Turm In Voddy
"
more like "Vom in Tummy". Or "curd in Vommy" maybe
Pop it in a jar
Follow his recipes but don't. Hokay then. "Fancy ingredients" what a gob end
"Yummy drink" I beg to differ. Celery is gross. Celery leaf water is full on hostile
Yeah bake cereal for 20 mins. #thrifty
Ew
at least he has enough toast to leave some now, eh, eh, readers? Keep the donations rolling in
Pls do not put Weetabix in bread
You don't have za'atar, are you sure
Oh well if there's recipes online already for something being a good reason not for you to provide one then why are you here at all

Jack you are rathee nobee
Some bonus images
Mmm rusty
Live below the line shopping actually looks better than separating out each banana.
Plus something I just saw on the street. Fly high lil crabina
PS I hadn't clocked before but there's 120 magnetic jars there. That's £150 worth! A drop in the Cotswolds Ocean, I know, but then having 120 kinds of spices that you will use about 1% of is also not cheap

Man Lies About Having Seen Any Movies At All To Impress Friends

That’s what I mean though - she couldn’t have changed SB’s name without his consent if he was on the birth certificate.
Legally it wouldn’t have flown because he’d have had to consent straight up and if she’d changed it at school then all he’d have had to do is question it and then say he didn’t agree and they’d have gone with what was on the birth certificate - so she couldn’t have unilaterally changed it without him agreeing.
I worked in a primary school and the only exception to this ever would be if one parent and the child used eg Chris for Christopher and the child clearly wanted and asked staff to call them Chris even though the other parent said it must be Christopher, the staff would make sure anything that went home was Christopher but may well use Chris in verbal speech in the classroom. Any last name debate or an actual change of name beyond an obvious nickname and the birth certificate/passport was the default in a dispute situation.
So the two options are either SB’s dad was lying or he’s not on the birth certificate.

I'n sorry, @TheDragonWithAFlagon. Grief is the high price we pay for love.
Remember when some simpering idiot felt the need to ask her if she thought an out of date yoghurt would still be okay to eat and she assured them that ‘yoghurt is basically mold anyway, so bon appetit!’ (Paraphrasing m’lord, don’t sue) 
Same here. Didn't realise that we'd run out of plain flour til after the shops had shut one Sunday.
But in my defence, I googled to see if it might still work - which turned up loads of recipes that specifically call for self-raising! Okay, so if I'd bothered clicking through to any of them it would have been obvious that they were all SEO-optimised gibberish, but I was in a hurry so didn't do more than quickly scroll through the first results page.
Oops. Yorkshire biscuits.
Turns out all flours are NOT interchangeable.
Her movie reviews will never, ever transcend this utter bleeping fantasist nonsense.I'm still grunking, so I don't know if someone else has shared, but it's like this Onion article was written for Jack.

Jack is too famous to knock on the neighbours doors to borrow something, plus one of the neighbours is the evil landlady who inherited the house and is therefore a witch of the highest order even though her Marxist dad inherited some properties.
Poor Mum is knackered after humphing the shopping from Ye Olde Asdae in a rucksack on her back, which, surprisingly contained no animal limbs. She had to dry her smart price shitakes on the medieval radiator which actually has gas in the pipes. Then she rinsed her Heinze Baked Beanes through a riddle that she borrowed from the farmer. There's probably some seeds stuck in it so that will inform the flavour. Then she has had to cook up a cauldron full of slop for the entire family. That's enough slop to drown a smol pixie in if it cannot swim.
As if all that wasn't enough, poor mum has then had to perform the heimlich maneuver on baby because he was choking on his own cringe and disgust at this and future slops. That baby has already got a tit ton of attitude. The wee boy is getting sozzled at the thought of eating slop. There is no clean drinking water anyway butbhe has decided to go heavy on the mead. At least the bread looks edible. All of them are thanking God that they are not insufferable grifting wankers so that is a silver lining.
Ummm…just add bicarbonate of soda or baking powder to plain as you go
Once again, how fortunate it is for all her friends that they don’t actually exist.
What in the fresh hell is this? And is the weird black-blue hole some kind of portal to the Slop Dimension?Well, let’s hope she doesn’t follow through on this resolution from ten years ago for one thing

While looking for her old resolutions (of which there are many, none fulfilled), courtesy of @MistyWindows
also a horrifying Buffalo Bill green foam rubber Arctic Roll, placed hockey puck-like upon something lovely from the Cheese and Ham Counter.
Would never guess any of that was bread without being told.
Sloping out of the cinema, probably sobbing and walking up the centre aisle so that everyone noticed her and realised how triggering it all must have been.
Then she probably gave it 5m, realised nobody was sloping out to comfort her and give her the much needed attention she was craving so she sloped back in again. Probably ‘whispered’ sorry to everyone on the way back to her seat whilst saying something like ‘it’s just all a bit too close to the bone for me’.
