Ok, did any other UK folk get TWO emergency alert tests (one at 15:00, and another at 15:06) or is my phone broken?!

Not being funny but I’m exhausted at the moment. Work is intense and menopause is doing a real number on every part of my life.

So to get up early for a roofer to come round only for them to not show and say they’ll come tomorrow (Sunday) instead is a sure fire way to send me silently nuclear

Wake up babe, @garyseconomics.bsky.social’s budget prediction video just dropped #taxwealthnotwork

I tried to articulate my feelings on the current main-interest geo political conflict and I just… I can’t. I mean, I did but then instantly deleted it.

Plus everyone’s got an opinion. And that’s partly the problem…. But also the reason.

Ergh

My dudes! My first (ever) sunflower came into bloom yesterday and now I feel like Monty Don should be calling me any day for a Gardener’s World segment.

It’s Friday.

In Corporate Land, I tend to always get “Happy Friday!” greetings at the beginning of emails, and I feel a bit bad if I don’t participate.

However.

Because it’s me, I put:

**Hi [name],

“Happy Friday”(?)…**

Am I The Asshole? Or do I just not play The Game correctly? 💅

My youngest fur son had his balls removed today. They gave him methadone. He’s just walked into the lounge, ignored the fact that I was working (trying to make up for time lost after immediate post op pick up helicopter parenting) and flopped himself on me. Why does his come down look so comfy?!

Anyone else start the day with good intentions and a task list and then find out in their first meeting about all the other slightly higher priority stuff that was immediately going to fall on their desk last minute if it weren’t for it being mentioned in a chance meeting?? Anyone?
LOVE Mondays LOL

I drew this around a year ago and little did I know that just a few months later I would find a small half-starved kitten abandoned on a schoolyard, and that this comic would literally become my own morning routine☺️🤎☕️

I don’t care how sad this makes me: I harvested my first lot of homemade Hot Bin compost yesterday and I couldn’t be more proud. 🥲

Mistakes were made, but I’ve learnt from them (no twigs/branch cuttings in the bin from now on).

Seeds are currently germinating ready for planting soon. ❤️

It turns out that mine and t’other half’s new favourite thing is purchasing a film that’s still on at the cinema at home on a Saturday night and recreating the cinema cocktails and snacks at a fraction of the price, plus being able to pause for loo breaks. WITH ADDED KITTIES to cuddle. Living LIFE.

Guys help: I’ve been suckered into Threads 4 times this morning thanks to Instagram. Can I make it stop?!

Good morning Blueys.

I forgot about this app as it’s on page 2 (IYKYK)

Very merry solstice blessings to you all. I have put ALL the Christmas lights on and lit candles, but not the hearth yet (that’s at 9:21am!) and in true New Year style, it’s Big Cleaning Day in the house 🙌🏼

Also yes to ghost stories during the autumn winter time. I don’t know why I found this sort of stuff so comforting at this time of the year. ❤️

I’m poorly and getting over a work trip (social battery, TOTM & a cold on top is not The One), but I’ve tidied the house and had a full shower, and me and the cat are relaxing with the fire on. While there’s still so much to do around the house, I feel so at home here. ❤️

*insert inspiring and memorable first update here*

If this version of not-Twitter takes off, no one will scroll back far enough to read this anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️
