I was JUST about to post about 'quiscent'. Like what the actual eff does she actually mean?!

Jesus Christ Ruby open a fucking dictionary. This is beyond embarassing for an Eng Lit student.
Quiscent is not a word either and I'm not sure quiescent would mean anything in that context either
I hope Grammarly reach out to sponsor her because something needs to be done here jfc
I haven’t read the Famous Five, but I think you are all missing the point about it: it is impossible that the characters could coincide any kind of happiness with their lack of productivity (described well by lizzie2707); and, even more crucially, the children’s past academic performance and the main events of the series fail to intercept. These are sure signs of its being one of the worst pieces of narrative fiction their is. I don’t need to read it to see that.Wtf how did she not like Famous Five, that was my favourite series as a kid!! I grew up thinking that smuggling was going to be a far bigger issue than it actually turned out to be due to reading themI like the food suggestion, but then Ruby always claims to love a picnic. My money’s on it not being school based. Kids in the summer holidays…having fun? Playing? Going on *gasp* adventures? They should be locked in their bedrooms hunched over a desk giving themselves eye strain. I mean all those day trips to Kirrin Island - so unproductive! And not a single mention of their grades in the whole series.
She also has a poem called 'Covid Day' about getting sick with the 'rona and doing housework. I thought it might be a sign that coronavirus had ripped through that fetid house, but considering it also says she did a lot of cleaning and chores, I'm guessing the covid part is pure fiction, too.Had a nosy at the blog. She self published a book of poetry on "Freedom Day", and blogged about that. One of the poems is called, "Two Daughters". Unsurprisingly it's about Ruby and Marfa. It's a bit twee but could still give Ermit'smenthol a run for its money.
Her blog entries are full of Tory energy, casual racism, wildly embellished stories and failing at life but blaming other people. She has an entire blog entry devoted to a trip to Bath. Only one out of the five lengthy paragraphs mention the trip to Bath, the rest is devoted to her accidentally booking two holidays at once through sheer stupidity. Naturally, technology is to blame, not her own stupidity. It's easy to see where Ruby gets her traits from."Having lunch with old friends recently, I was told that I am not very feminist because of being super excited about my new 'Hoover' coming today"
"I have ordered a pink, Barbie style, upright Sebo, which I know doesn't sound very feminist at all"
Dear god, if Ruby learned her definition of feminism from her mother, no wonder she thinks that all things pink and sparkly are beneath her, and is determined to be not like other girls, she's been raised by someone who apparently doesn't quite understand feminism. I'm convinced that her mother just isn't very bright, this piece of writing is utter nonsense. My flat last year at uni didn't have a mop, and when I eventually got one holy shit I was over the moon. I was similarly excited when we got a new oven. Those things in no way negate my feminism. What the actual fuck??? Also once again, why don't they get a cleaner? Surely they can afford it, and they'd be providing employment to people who desperately need it at the moment.
Your posts are one of the best things in these threads!"My yearly planner will now be a super-duper-ultra-most-exclusive limited edition due to the negativity of a select few people in the comments to make sure only the most productive, positive people benefit from it.
The price is £200 and it comes in rustic "autominal" brown, so you can enjoy October no matter the month!
Features include:
Don't hesitate! Pre-order today! (Pre-orders open in six to fourteen weeks.)"

- Cryptic puzzle assembly (Can you reassemble the planner's pages in the right order?)
- Victorian-era shipping speeds (All 2022 planners estimated to arrive in July 2023, for that 'just arrived on a steamer ship several months after posting' nostalgia experience.)
- Spot the spelling mistakes quiz (Find them all to win the gift of self-satisfaction!)
- Soiled string bookmark (Sold separately.)
Part of the video is mirror flipped, you can see the writing on the cover is backwards.OT: I have realised several times now that Ruby turns her book pages from front to back in her videos. (see last IG post). With non-fiction it can still make sense to read it from back to front, but with novels I don't see the point.
Reading her mother's blog the only thing that comes to mind is "please shut the fuck up"Feminist Housewife
Having lunch with old friends recently, I was told that I am not very feminist because of being super excited about my new 'Hoover' coming today. It is actually a Sebo but I was raised in the seventies and we called all vacuum cleaners 'Hoovers' back then. My friends did point out that it is a...www.whatapalaver.co
Mother Granger's back to blogging, and she's still just as blatant a bullshitter as her daughter.
"After two years of slogging it out doing all the chores at home while my brood work on 'proper jobs' and uni work around me, I have decided that I might as well enjoy my new role and upgrade my tools accordingly."
"Proper jobs"? Plural? Ruby's mum neglects to mention that only one person in the household has a "proper job", and even then, playing Gordon Gekko and dodging the taxman stretches the definition quite a bit.
"I am quite slapdash and happy for the house to look overall clean and tidy."
Spoilers: It doesn't.
"There are spider webs up high in the nooks and crannies, plus plain old free-range ones but housework is time consuming and back-breaking enough when having to do the daily grind of washing up, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning the bathroom, 'Hoovering', mopping, gardening and tidying up without the added job of Spring cleaning too."
There's no evidence that any of those things happen in that house.
But at least we have a reason for why Ruby's house always looks like a squalid, festering swamp: Ruby's mum is so busy thinking about all the things that could potentially be keeping her from cleaning that she doesn't do anything at all.
I feel like you should be able to move past the mindset that there's something wrong with pink once you hit your 20s. I swear people of her generation are paranoid about girl colours and boy colours."Having lunch with old friends recently, I was told that I am not very feminist because of being super excited about my new 'Hoover' coming today"

Good thing you had Ruby's example to follow or you might have used that word incorrectly. Imagine the embarrassmentThese are sure signs of its being one of the worst pieces of narrative fiction their is. I don’t need to read it to see that.
The let has been agreed but if you search Rightmove for 1 bed cottage in Little Missenden and include let agreed properties you should be able to find it for nowI couldn't find the cottage she bought when I searched on Google. Can anyone post a link? Given that it's a publicly available rental and she doesn't live there, I don't think it would be problematic to post it.
