Danni from birth to death. 3rd August 1981 to 5th September 2011.

I still miss her. I still talk to her.

Despite all that she had to go through in her short life she was so very alive, so very giving. I miss her, especially her very wicked sense of humour.

We all have a lot going on in different ways. Kindness means more than we always realise. Small moments really do matter. 🧡

Good morning my dear phone family. How's everyone?
So sorry for being MIA of late. I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer after numerous tests. It's been caught early and I'm having surgery in January, so I'm feeling positive and very grateful for our amazing NHS. Will post more soon 💗

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.

Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

I am so relieved! The app would not open for me for the most of today! Now it's back. This is the only social media I engage with, it would have been upsetting if it had disappeared.

In the 90s my mum embarrassed me with her rejection of ultra-processed foods – but the growing body of evidence about them is vindicating her, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

I do not like antibiotics. How can they be doing me good if I feel more poorly than when I started taking them? 😷 🦷💉 Only good thing is it is a very short course, three days and am half way through, then it will take a week or more to sort my gut.

I have just heard an advert for Amazon Black Friday WEEK.

How in God's name are small businesses meant to compete with this crap?

Will you all do me a favour and support a small business today. Share the love.

Whenever men attack strong women their target is always looks and (relative) femininity. Says more about men and what they value in a woman, than what qualities strong women really possess.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It!

Just started the process of making gluten free flans. The flan tins are lined with potato that has been dry mashed with a little salt then into the oven to crisp.

Will probably fill & #bake them tomorrow morng. When cooked I will freeze them. Lots of batch #cooking ahead of the holiday season.
