She/Her
My mum bought me a bird of paradise plant because she thought it was pretty and the arseholes have put a fake flower in the plant. Apparently they don’t actually flower for 5-10 years. I’m not going to tell her or she’ll be a bit sad but now I’m sad that she thinks she bought one with a real flower.

So I’ve officially bought a house. And I move in on the 10th of October.

Let the adulting commence!

Edd: I wonder how long that spider’s been there? I don’t remember hearing it knock on the door.
Me: Darling, can you get rid of the spider in the bathroom for me?
Edd: Okay. *enters bathroom, short pause*
Edd: FUCK THAT. It’s enormous. That’s the spider’s bathroom now. Where’s my deodorant?
Me: In the bathroom.
Edd: I’ll buy some more after I move house.

I got some colossal good news today and I’m not used to the universe providing me with good news so excuse me if I act slightly more unhinged than usual for a little while.

Just had a panic attack while doing a lancet blood sugar test (yes I’m aware it’s daft but I have a good reason) and couldn’t get enough blood on the testing strip, and instead of saying “never mind, try again tomorrow” my dad started shouting at me and calling me a snowflake. 🙃

My neighbours have put up a wind chime. In Scotland. In summer. When everyone needs to have their windows open because AC isn’t a thing here and it’s hotter and more humid than Satan’s armpit.

Me: I’m determined that today will be a good day.

*less than an hour later*

Woman: Congratulations!
Me: ??
Woman: Oh! I thought you were pregnant. I’m so sorry.

Not pregnant. Just fat. 🙃

We just went to Chiquitos for lunch and ordered mild burritos. I’ve been calling him a wimp the whole meal cos he’s been sweating and crying and it turns out the waitress got his wrong and made it hot 🤣 She took it off the bill and brought him milk and a free Coke and she feels awful but I’m howling

My adorable bf has bought an extra PS5 controller and customised it for me (Leeloo from The Fifth Element) so we can play games together. 🥰🥹🎮

Started watching The Handmaid’s Tale yesterday. Not entirely sure it was the best idea considering the current political climate. It’s making me exceptionally nervous.

My Apple Watch told me I was a fat bastard yesterday (I’m paraphrasing somewhat) so I’m eating chicken salad for dinner for the second day in a row.

We got McDonalds today. Instead of ordering fries he got a *salad*. A salad, you guys. What alternate reality have I fallen into?
My boyfriend picked up a banana and started peeling it and I nearly died of shock, but he sprinkled sugar on it before he ate it, so business as usual, folks.

Does anyone wake up in the morning actually feeling refreshed and ready for the day? If so, share your secrets.

Just found out that a friend I haven’t seen or spoken to for a while but have known for many years died yesterday. 💔

none of the George Foreman obituaries have had the gumption to end with ‘he is survived by his sons, George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman, George Foreman, and George Foreman’

The scene in the first Harry Potter film in McGonagall’s classroom (where she transforms from cat to human) was filmed in Durham Cathedral.

I visited that exact room last year, and whilst taking photos I accidentally dropped my phone on a large and possibly old table and it made a bit of a bang.

I deleted my last thread. In a moment of weakness and sadness and desperation I shared something deeply personal, forgetting that I was still sharing it on the internet. And the internet finds ways of bringing things back to haunt you. So it’s gone now.

Thanks to anyone who read and/or reached out.
