After reading that recipe book kickstarter comments it was clear that there are people absolutely struggling by who see Jack as 'one of them' and wanted to support her by donating what little spare money they have. There are likely people subscribed to her Patreon who are receiving universal credit/PIP/retired or in incredibly low paid work, and she uses their money to buy R&P bras? How utterly grim.
 
I can't believe she really has R&P bras. I don't like Bravissimo though - they're a bit like some kind of tent or egg poacher, rather than a flattering bit of lingerie (in my opinion). Missing guest - I'm saying it was Chetna, because she has more respect for herself. It wasn't ever Nadia Hussain because she's also classier.

I’m making a mental list of who I would have liked it to have been. So far I have;

-Nigella
-Prince Harry
-Allegra
-Jude Law

R&P? Shes taking the piss 😂 I was fuming today spending £70 on 2 bras! Stupid big boobs

I always assumed one of the bonuses of not being so well-endowed in the boob area was the freedom to buy cheap and cheerful bras, instead of the depressing fortune I seem to have to fork out to get mine into a reasonable position and be comfortable. Should I shelve that tiny envy I've always had?
 
Does anyone follow @Jazzhandskitty on Insta? Jazz is a cat with severely deformed front legs who lives a happy life with his family. @turboroo, @thorannosaur and @ruby2shoesroo are all little chihuahuas who have either been born without their front legs or had to have their twisted and painful front legs amputated due to a genetic disorder. They live with their adopted family happily and living relatively normal dog lives. I also have a disabled dog (though only one leg is deformed) who rules the pack; she's a wonky walker who tires easily so just potters around the garden and has a daily painkiller.

I also support a charity called Broken Biscuits who provide help for animals with amputations and paraplegia. If you want to see Eamonn Holmes dissolve into mush and nearly into tears, have a look for the Good Morning clip where he meets Tim from the charity along with a small dog with wheels called Otto, who gleefully tries to explore the studio.

The thing is, disabled animals can and do live very happy lives. However, you have to be prepared to take them on and meet their needs. Two of my dogs are 15 next month and one of the sisters now has dementia (the one that isn't now hard of hearing!). She is on the move continuously so I'm always got her underfoot, barks a lot of the time at things only she can see or hear, and is becoming more incontinent. I adapt by getting washable puppy pads for the wood floor, clearing up any messes she doesn't realise she's made on the wood floor with kennel disinfectant, and being prepared to deal with putting her in washable dog nappies as she gets worse. I love her and have no problem with making her old age happy, slipping her extra treats too.

Is Jack prepared for a disabled animal or prepared to give lifelong love and attention? It's not that disability means an animal will necessarily be unhappy as they can adapt very quickly, but so much depends on the support and love they are given.

Cor, I think I've done a rant!

Ed to add: another disabled cat on Insta is @rockyonwheels. Very happy racing his able bodied sibling to the food dish at high speed, but his rescuing family are prepared to look after him and express his bladder and bowels three times a day as he's paraplegic.

I see women buying cheap bras in high street stores and I wont lie, it stings. Having to budget in to buy a bra is bollocks 😂

Oh, their glorious faces. Especially the one all curled up. So beautiful.

I thought she was skint until I joined this site.

I’m on UC and I have 3 of her books.

I almost bought veganish as well.

Look up Molke, they are a gamechanger and really comfy, hoping I won't have to buy anymore new for quite a while. I'm the opposite to you, I'm short and tiny legs and arms poking out from my huge bosoms. I find places that do clothes to accommodate and stick to those brands
