A pitch for BBC One from my nine year old: DOGGY GLADIATORS
#Gladiators
Do we fancy miniature sausage dog Ruby’s chances getting up the travelator…?
Daughter has this moment spontaneously brought me sourdough toast in bed on my day off. So for all those people wondering: eventually, yes, there will be recompense for those 25,000 times you were not allowed to just HAVE A WEE IN PEACE during the toddler years. Happy Friday!
Ahhh Sally thank you so much! I’m so glad it was useful for you ❤️
Well, #Amandaland was a delight and I highly recommend it for the many lols as well as the hot ex-History Boy neighbour. I am yet to recover from “Shin fame” and I feel it may be some time.
Vintage #totp tonight. Robson & Jerome are back at number one with NO WARNING. Not going to lie, it’s a shock. Husband cries: “Oh my god, I thought we were over this!!!” in manner of man who has discovered the failure of a critical cease fire. As song unfolds: “This is some next level shit.”
I’ve just posted this on Insta so all my mum friends can see it too ❤️😆
“No way are you doing this Christmas Eve box thing for kids, and you can ditch the matching Christmas pyjamas if you don’t actually want to do that and everyone needs to know that an alternative to making a cake is a massive pyramid of doughnuts from Lidl with maybe some sparklers on top.”
Anna this is EVERYTHING 😆 So funny and brilliant!
Ah I meant in general not about your man in Catford. Instability is one thing, self-righteousness another
I always just think, Stop shouting at people and do something constructive. Volunteer at a food bank? Visit a lonely elderly person? There’s so many better ways to be good / a good Christian than ranting at total strangers. The whole thing is so performative, absolutely does my box in.
Hahahaha, I just keep boggling at the shirt buttons. WHY are so many of them undone?!
Finally got around to watching #BoybandsForever and it is fantastic. The archive footage! The new interviews! And I can’t stop laughing at what Robbie Williams refers to as the ‘pointlessly intricate’ dance routines, 99% of which are, indeed, simply ridiculous.
Hahahahaha
Allll the makeup for me! Big fan of a classic red lip though. Lisa Eldridge’s are my go to 💋
Well hello everyone! Thanks so much for following me, there’s suddenly quite a few of you! Here’s a sneaky snippet of my new book cover which I am SO excited about. I think it’s my prettiest one yet ❤️ Full reveal coming soon, and book details here: amzn.eu/d/1oTksue
Just been alerted to this Facebook post by my husband. We are 99% sure this is our (very well fed and much loved) cat, chancing her arm for second breakfasts at the cul de sac round the corner 😂
#catsky
Can’t wait for this! I love Sarra’s books 🥰
Me, watching vintage Top Of The Pops: ‘I have no recollection of this’ / ‘OMG what a tune’ / ‘Why are [insert band name here] wearing coats/sunglasses, they’re inside’
100%!
I’ve read so many excellent nonfiction books via Audible that (for some reason I can’t quite fathom) I would never have finished on Kindle or in paperback.

This was me approx two weeks from giving birth in 2013.
And no, it *wasn’t* twins 😩😆
I’m strongly considering a rewatch, but in the meantime the TikTok edits of key moments are LIFE.
Nothing will more rapidly convince you you’re a terrible writer than a copy edit, through which you discover you’ve used the word ‘clear/ly’ approximately 52,000 times.

Decided I’m going to give this place a go, and (as is their wont) the doggos refused to be left out.
