Basically just Pam from 'Gavin and Stacey' if she was from the north. Big fan of Eurovision, F1 and live music. Yapper of all things Eurovision with Phoenix ESC. Sad girl bangers hate to see me coming.
I forgot my brother coming home for Christmas meant he would be running dinner like the navy. He's made us jump on a call that started with 'I've indulged a lot of shit over the years'

Was feeling a bit blue about Christmas this year but now my brother in Hong Kong is flying over to spend it with us. Just grabbed a coffee in town while waiting for the bus, bumped into a colleague and had a chat and now I'm feeling -dare I say - kinda festive???

Unfortunately years of intense healing and therapy was all undone today.

Husband ordered us breakfast burritos and when the woman said 'Enjoy your food!' I replied 'You too!'

Now the nights are getting darker I need Phoebe Bridgers to get her ass in the studio and record the most emotionally crippling album I've ever heard

Me when someone else has a mental health relapse: Aww babe healing isn't linear 🥰 you're doing great sweetie 😘 I love you ❤️

Me when I have a mental health relapse: You are a huge loser and you deserve jail.

Another wanky indulgent post but this weekend I treated myself to a solo gig and the final song was one which essentially saved my life.

One thing I love about a solo gig is it doesn't matter what I do as long as I get somewhere I can see. Need a pee? A pint? No bother pal! Just don't stand behind a giant!

Forgot to get a lil plastic fork for my meal deal on the train so I ended up scooping up my pasta salad with a bag of crisps. We stan a resourceful queen...

Was dicking about trying to set up car play in my pap pap. Knew it was working when drone music started blaring out the speakers and my husband looked terrified

An absolutely brilliant video which dives into the history of Intervision and its current corruption.

If you watch anything today, watch this: your timely reminder that it's not just a silly song contest to live tweet but something far more sinister.

Indulge me being self-reflective and wanky for a bit but today I got home from work and had a little dance and sing around the kitchen while I made dinner. It struck me all of a sudden that I'm happy again after a real slump a few months ago. That's great but more importantly it's reminded me of

The best thing about packing way too many tattoo snacks is getting to eat said tattoo snacks later

Truly one of the best videos on the situation I have ever seen.

While I have hope they will be removed, if not I believe the best solution is to let them win and let the contest burn. Maybe then the EBU will sit with the consequences of their inaction.

Joke a kid at work told me today:
"What do you call a magician who can't do magic? Ian!"

Been at my work long enough (6 years) that regular staff now greet me by hugging me which on the one hand is nice but on the other hand really throws into light what an awkward hugger I am unless we're very close.

Maybe the real emergency was the friends we made along the way...

Turns out I just needed to do my hair and makeup and gossip with my friend
