As someone who lived through years of mental abuse and was told her actions were all in my head, I’m not ashamed to say several of these relate to me, I may be 6ft tall, a burly rugby guy, sport a beard etc... but this effects gents just as much as the ladies... 💚
So this escalated 👀… blown away by the kindness and beauty of strangers these past 24hrs, thank you all so much, as well as a big thank you to my Twitter fam… you’re literally the best 💚
250 Cadbury selection packs and a full trolly of food donated to
@mkfoodbank
this afternoon, thank you to all who donated to support this amazing charity. 💚
There’s no easy way to say this… it’s a phrase I’ve pondered on for some time… but having had further consultation today I now know more about what’s going on with me, so I’m going to open up and hopefully this will help explain a thing or 2.

This is not justice, not at all… merely a slap on the wrist. My thoughts once again go out to his family, who have fought tirelessly for today to happen.
The next step in this journey starts now
Today I met with the consultants and cancer team at MKUH to review everything so far.

Many may know my back story already, but in short, these past 4 years: battled PTSD, Battled Cancer, battled myself. 1 thing I struggle with most… body image an weight.
So I’ve took myself out of my comfort zone and met with a PT today… oh it’s on!
Im absolutely shattered! But what an amazing day yesterday. The boys were awesome, 57,000 questions, bad jokes and they grassed their mum up on everything, and her mum was so friendly and welcoming… I think I passed the test 🙌

No wait it’s the time you turned down an offer to get free or cheap broadband for thousands of disadvantaged families whilst they were working from home on the governments orders, then voted against them having food

@AvantiWestCoast
train attendant on the 10.15am train from Manc Piccadilly to Euston, didn’t catch her name, tallish and blondish hair…super awesome service, kindly helping with a coffee spill in coach B, I felt a right prat! She made my morning that bit better 💚
So cancer surgery update: I’m going to have an e tended right hemi-Colectomy… removing all the right side of my bowel tube between the markers, the dot is where my tumour is. Roughly 14-16inches. Keyhole surgery early to mid September all being well… fun times! 💚
And that’s it! 4 months post op and the wound has finally healed!! I can go swimming again! The feeling of just having the freedom is nothing but underrated.
I take a few days off from twitter... just a few days, and everything’s gone to shit. Gents, Ladies, fellow humans... don’t be that person who plays multiple people, don’t degrade them, shag around while promising them the earth... it’s fucking wrong.
Positives - New gym kit 👌

You’ll get fed well, My cooking game is pretty decent*... steaks, lasagne, shakshuka, frittatas, salads, spaghetti bols, chillis, bangers n mash, cottage pie... all freshly made, none of this Tesco’s ping ding stuff 👌
*Not Vegan Friendly 😉😂
So I’m out… unfortunately it’s grown since the other week and spread wider across the wall, sadly they’ve not been able to fully remove it, but they have taken a huge chunk out of it for now 🙌
So looks like surgery is next up for me.

Surgery update!
Confirmed I’m going in on September 8th to have the tumour removed, great to finally have a date, just want to get this over and done with now.
497 followers... it’s building back up, 3 more to 500!
Can you lovely lot give me a share... I come with dad jokes, puns, innuendos, well timed gifs and abuse for sex pests 👌 also the odd bit of rugby chat 😘
That’s it! Time for another magical mystery trip! I’m buggering off for a few days, doing things I’ve never done before in a place or 2 I’ve never been before… there will be good food, fantastic views, an incredible room with a view and much, much more!
Fun begins at 3am! 🙌
Greetings from ward 20… again
Good news so far is bloods look healthy, still leaking loads of gunk but nowhere near as bad as last nights river flow. CT scan at some point to locate the pool and another course of antibiotics… suspect a few days in will be required.
2 years ago today I said f*ck you to cancer.
In some ways it feels longer, so much has happened since, but that little scar serves as a daily reminder that this was and still is very much real.
Don’t leave life to chance… if it doesn’t look or feel right, get it checked 💚
Now I’m not saying I had a lot of hair, but getting on the scales today post hair cut after taking last week off with man flu I was somewhat pleased with seeing another 7lb gone, 1st in the past 6 weeks, boom 👌 beard trim next week! 😂
Today I’m not ok…
I felt the need to write about this one, as I often do when something happens in my life.
It’s never ok to personally abuse someone, verbally, physically, mentally… I was just a guy who swiped on a girl because that’s how dating apps work… Don’t be her 💚
Good morning Twitter!! And a very happy Monday to you all! Today is my first day back at work after 2 months off.. going back part time a few hours a day to get myself going and mentally to get my brain functioning again. 💚
So it seems sadly Saturday didn’t go as well as it seemed. Somewhat deflated to be honest, but it is what it is... I’ll put myself back up on the shelf for now and see what life brings. Gutted 😞
So in a few weeks I’ve gone from 497 followers to 992... unreal! Thank you all for following my dodgy ramblings, heckling, selfies, Charlie updates, dad jokes, rugby moans and general groans... can I be super cheeky for a share to reach the 1k mark? Love you long time 💚
Looking back over this week… I’m feeling chuffed.
*I hit 2 months of PT work
*Cheered a mate in need on at his first man v fat session
*Passed the boys and mum test
*Witnessed a friend find himself again after heart break
I wish every week felt this good, for everyone 💚
I don’t know who needs to read this but… Why do this? Why lie… I just don’t get it.
Red flags going off for a few days, literally 2.5hrs to go and still going with it… then blocked.
Don’t be this person, whoever reads this, just don’t, I’m worth more than this.

Finally have an answer as to why my infection indicators are up, they’ve found a huge blood pool near my stomach on a scan today… drain now in, absolute mess what’s coming out 🤢 but it’s good news! I can now start moving forward and hopefully home soon!
Morning boys and girls! Today’s a joint

effort from me and Charlie... my effort was a smart coat and polo! Charlie’s was her usual talk!
Have an awesome day!
@TheofficialDund
So it’s my birthday today… 37 never felt so old 🤦♂️
More sight seeing today, old town trip shortly followed by a visit to the shopping centre and then dinner at Straka once again as, well, Fuck it, it’s my birthday and the food there is incredible.
🇺🇦🇵🇱
Anyone fancy some homemade Mexican? Tacos, quesadillas, cheesy nachos and folded tortilla parcels… I got busy in the kitchen, first try for a lot of this… Bon appetite 👌
Why I love my job... 130 new colleagues will tomorrow open the doors to our newest motorway services at Rugby... nothing makes a recruiter happier than seeing happy teams you’ve built from scratch come together, prepped and ready to go for opening day 😍
So, first time I’ve dared entertain an actual date in literally months (April’s big high the low moment of you remember)… got stood up.
I’ll just be over here, if you can play me a tune on your violins that would be awesome
Evening twitterverse... thank you for the messages, very kind of you all.
The Door is taking an extended break, I’ve been head down with work and home life, I’ll periodically dropping in when time and health allows... keep smiling 💚
So I’ve had a call from the hospital, the specialist surgeon can see me next Wednesday, if he is happy they’ll look to remove the growth, if they feel they can’t at least I’ve had another day of letting people play with my arse… thrilling either way when you’re single! 💚
Can I ask a favour Twitter fam? I seem to be out of sync with the old faces, my fault for not being very active… can you give me a little retweet, as I want to reconnect with the world! new faces welcome, come for the dad jokes, stay for the awful selfies, food and cocktails! 💚
