Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

Imagine living in a society where we have to be reminded to eat fruit and veg every day; and not to be a cunt to trans people.
What a time to be alive.

I wrote a service review report at work.
My senior manager said she enjoyed reading it.
I’ve not written a service review for ages. Had forgotten how to do it. I’m absolutely thrilled to know I can still write constructively and passionately. Day made.

I rescinded my membership of the Labour Party after the anti Trans Supreme Court judgment. Today; the Labour Party are appeasing Daily Mail “readers” with as much racist anti migration rhetoric they think they can get away with. It’s a fucking disgrace.

So, its bombs away for this year’s batch of @nigelslater.bsky.social’s “Dark, Sweet and Delectable plum pudding” - which had been my go to since 2017, usurping Nigel’s other Xmas pudding recipe which I’d used for nearly two decades.

Dylan picked these two board game themed serving dishes whilest at the Spiel convention in Essen whilst I was gallivanting around Berlin. Very camp. Love them. Guests en route and as always, @nigella.bsky.social’s white miso hummus awaits. A veritable cauldron of it evaporated at work last week. 🙂
