Keep avoiding

because of the pervs, but this one’s for the girls. I’ve always struggled to accept my scrawny frame but today I thought ‘D’ya know what Lou, you’re almost 46 and you look kinda fierce!’
Love your skin ladies.

Walked into my newly renovated home in Spain tonight. Lots of cleaning, shifting and unpacking to do but it’s fresh and it’s mine and hopefully I’ll get to live here from now 🤞❤️
Haven’t joined in with

in a while, so going to use it as an opportunity for you lot to help me choose a dress for a wedding on Saturday. Green/black or multi?!
@TheofficialDund
Just had my last session with my psychologist and have been discharged! She’s very happy with my progress and my mental health, depression and anxiety scores are so much better than when I started. Feeling very proud I stuck with it and super chuffed with how far I’ve come ☺️

You keep popping up on my timeline with your vile takes. You're a really bitter person aren't you? What a sad and horrible way to live your life.

Also, I totally cannot take a decent picture of myself.
Also, I should have shoved a face on and did my hair 😂

#DUND
for me today so thought I’d hunt out an old photo instead. So here, have a pic of me dabbing in my pants and fishnets because I always feel good in fishnets 🤣🤣
No, I don’t know what’s wrong with me either 🤷🏻♀️😆
For the first time in 3 years I can finally and honestly say that I don’t want to un-alive myself. This is huge. It’s like learning to breathe all over again. I hope it lasts. I hope the trauma spell has finally lost some of its power 🤞
#CPTSD
This will soon by my permanent morning cuppa spot…
The GOOD NEWS is that I just secured a contract that will pretty much guarantee my visa - the final obstacle to full-time life in sunny Spain.
After so much loss, pain and trauma I can’t even begin to express what this means.
Well it happened folks. I just got my 3 year visa for Spain. I cried a lot. But it was loss and sadness that came out. Some of the stuff I’ve been holding in for so long. I’m sure I will feel celebratory tomorrow.
Feeling every minute of my 45 years today so shoved a bit of a face and my favourite snuggly jumper on, in the hope that participating in
#DUND
will help lift my spirits a little!
Almost scared to say it out loud in case I jinx it somehow… but I just accepted an offer on my house! So the bungalow in Spain is mine, as is a new, quiet and healing life in the sun. I can’t quiet believe it’s all going to happen!
Well lads, I've spoken to the fam and it's been decided... I'm selling my house and moving to Spain.
A lot to sort, will take a while, may only be temporary, but I sure as shit can't live in this shithole of a country any longer nor continue to be a prisoner to my trauma.
Just had a very difficult conversation with my mum about my complex ptsd and the role she played in it. Very tearful but she was brave and heard me for the first time in my life I think. Healing hurts but I’m so glad we broached this.
Quick 2 min lunch - crazy busy today 🤯🤯 Just took delivery of another new pair of shoes and my beautiful, bespoke spinner ring (part payment for helping a friend with their website/SEO). It’s so pretty!! My hands look well feckin’ old 😥
Will catch up with

later!
#newink
reveal! It’s not quite finished - some more purple and grey dot work needed on the mandala, then some floral work before finishing the rest of the sleeve. When finished the vine work above will lie over it. I love it, felt lush too cos I’m a weirdo 😂

This is good. He’s my MP too and has always provide unsatisfactory responses to my communications. Good to see him exercising a little integrity for once.
Late to the

First time it’s been cool enough since I arrived in Spain two months ago to wear trousers! Off out for dinner with the lovely

@TheofficialDund
Just had the best few days I can remember in quite some time. Having one of my oldest friends here has really helped to make this feel like home. I now have to work some ridiculous hours to make up time, but it was well worth it. I almost feel like an actual normal human!
Have had a difficult, painful, healing, lovely weekend with my dad. I loves him. This we essential to my recovery and I’m so grateful we had this time 🥰
I can’t express how much I love being in Spain and not traumaville UK. I feel relaxed and content a lot of the time rather than scared and on edge. It’s very freeing. I’ve even done loads of important admin today that I’ve been putting off for months 😅

This is my ‘Aren’t I good leaving after two drinks’ face.
Just bumped into approx 16 friends in my friend’s bar and around the commercial centre. In England I’d have noped the fuck right out of there but no trauma connections here so life feels easier and more social.
Rented an apartment for me and my dad as he’s up from London for the weekend. The boy has come to play too. I’m wearing my new stupidly big hoodie and it’s all pretty cosy and lush here right now.
All done! Well, apart from a final bit of shading to do in January. Excuse the swelling and ink stains. Photos don’t do it justice but it’s BEAUT ❤️

Right gang! I’m fucking off to work from Spain for a month or so. No return flight booked and I have the use of a house for September for just the cost of bills, so just going to play it by ear. I need to get away from thebigloomingthing and give my brain space to breathe.
Kind of tempting to sell my house and just use the proceeds to fuck myself up into an early grave. My body is fucked, my brain is literally disabled and the planet is properly FUBARd too. Might just die in my pants surrounded by wine bottles and cats. What a mess we’re in.
A bit overwhelmed by the lovely support & kindness shown for my
#DUND
yesterday. Twitter can really be wonderful despite its faults.
Have blocked all the new followers with timelines full of porn and reported the one total bitch who retweeted my photo with a nasty comment 👌
Video of my new home in Spain. Been a busy week sorting as it was a mess. Lots more work to do but it’s all mine 🥰
Second video to show the upstairs coming…
Guys. I don’t want to jinx this right but in the last 6 hours, suddenly after 6 months of stress, uncertainty and devastation… it looks like I might just pull this off. Completion dates set for my place and the new pad in Spain. Visa looking a dead cert. I mean 🫣😬🤞🤞🥹
Usually hate a playsuit due to toilet undressing drama, so I snipped the straps on this one I’ve had for years and just tied it as a halter. Felt almost pretty and stuff last night.
Can’t thank you lovely
#MHHSBD
lot enough for all the retweets! What a wonderful bunch you are 💗
Still no takers. Seems such a shame. They’re such great quality.

Have been briefly reunited with Bilbo while I stay at my mum’s after the house sale. He hasn’t sat on my lap for 9 years since he was a kitten. This was him last night. 15 minutes of cuddles 😻
One of my besties here is a hairdresser. I was embracing my growing out, multicoloured grey hair but she said I was a bad advert for her and gave me a refresh 🤣
#NewProfilePic
GUYS! I have a functioning living room at last! Will never sit in it as I spend all my time in the conservatory but at least it looks like an actual serviceable space at last.
Just making do with what I brought with me and little bits I’m picking up as I go.
