It makes me furious that for almost two decades I was a carer for my disabled daughter, providing round the clock care, saving the state hundreds of thousands of pounds. Now I'm dealing with my own disability the govt tells me I'm a burden. How dare they.

I've just watched an episode of Frozen Planet II and realised I have baby penguin levels of grace and elegance.

Passenger 57 is on. Wesley Snipes' does a brilliant fence jump about 15 minutes from the end. Literally the only good thing about the film.

This time around, the Kennedys are assassinating us.

I'm currently installing in my kitchen genuine vintage units while wearing a genuine vintage dress and yet the thing I did today that made me feel the most retro was I wrote a cheque.
