Stop the planet, I want to get off... Nope, nope I just can't anymore... I think I want my mum?!
I thought she was boycotting
Struggling. She's struggling. Because she can't find THE PERFECT BIN.
duck sake Jackie, priorities.
Do you think Vlad would fund me buying her a dictionary?
I didn't realise she has ADHD. She's never mentioned it before.
When she starts early you know it's gonna be a DAY. She must've gotten up early today ie not slept in til 4pm.
I'd rather know what she had last night at the restaurant than all this bin crap. What did she get? Was it nice? As a food writer you'd think she would document nice dinners. Maybe that's too fancy
I've always wondered why she doesn't do this. It's all about her slop. There's never any technical talk, no reviews or anything that you would expect a proper foodie to do on their social media.
Fair enough.
I would never dream of it with my cat though, he is my prince among men, my little lion, my handsome beast.
Yes, I know.
'My liege' is a favourite of mine.
Really strange. Even going back to her Edinburgh trip, we only got a pic of her drinks at Dishoom, and drink at Five Guys, where was the food? Even her perfect salad bowl at Harvester the other day, where was the pic?
The library lounge is the one with the reading nook. Remember she allegedly lugged all those bookcases and chair upstairs for her reading corner? Only it wasn't upstairs, it was in the lounge
The library lounge is separate from the dining-room/office/studio. Nor is it the entrance hall/Smeg/Cotswold cupboard relaxing zone.
Non of the above are the kitchen shed either.
Maybe it really is a tardis??
She can't swim because of birthmarks? But...last week she couldn't swim because she's a physiological marvel who LITERALLY sinks, no?
Yup, bizarre when you think about it.
LITERALLY sinks cos that massive SEVERE chip on her shoulder weighs her down.She can't swim because of birthmarks? But...last week she couldn't swim because she's a physiological marvel who LITERALLY sinks, no?
I read about it today. So heartbreaking.A mum died in Glasgow this week. She was living in extreme poverty and her malnourished baby was found with her, thankfully still alive. The mum lost her job after her limited leave to remain expired (she was from Uganda) and she was no longer allowed to work. How utterly heartbreaking for her family and especially her babyWhat a waste. Although the the reason why she has died has not been discovered, it is not deemed suspicious and I have no doubt that poverty and isolation played a part. This was a woman of colour living alone, a true single mum not eligible for state support and completely reliant on charity and volunteer initiatives. Where is Jackie when things like this happen? This ought to be 'up in her niche'. She should be taking a leaf out of Marcus Rashford's book and using her brief possibly genuine poverty experience to speak up for those who truly slip through the net and campaign for a better approach and handling of such cases. She should also follow through on her pledge to hand her platform over to women of colour who will understand so much better why migrants and refugees are deliberately neglected and are at risk of real poverty in the UK. It should not happen in the UK this day and age and Jack ought to be shouting it from the rooftops.
The thing is, she has now and did then a washing machine. When I got mine, I couldn’t believe my luck. It came with my husband. Before that, I used to wash in the bath. Put it in after me (to save on electricity for heating water and soap) and then walk up and down it. Squish it and then squeeze as much as I could. In the morning wring it and dry where I could. The launderette was too expensive.
It’s a throwaway comment. No time to wash clothes.
YOU don’t, the machine does.
No ruddy idea.
She needs to post these genius ideas to British Goop on Instagram. Comedy gold.
She couldn't swim THEN because of her birthmarks. She can't swim NOW because she sinks.She can't swim because of birthmarks? But...last week she couldn't swim because she's a physiological marvel who LITERALLY sinks, no?
