My camera is officially crap on my phone but 2 videos I took last night. I promise even if you’re in the nosebleeds it’s still amazing!!!

discussing why people are choosing to go abroad for holidays rather than staying home and always focus on the weather. Have they seen the prices of caravans , lodges and cottages in the UK? It’s bloody crazy.
In Home Bargains this evening eyeing up the drinks and said to my 17yo “I like piña coladas” And he replied “and getting caught in the rain?” It was a very proud mum moment
Apparently the dynamic should be 51 yo men ogling 21 yo women. That seems perfectly acceptable and nobody cares. But God forbid a 51 year old dare show any skin. Men telling women what they can and can’t do on social media? How original 😂😂😂
Today was my last day at work before Christmas. What it doesn’t show is the sheer exhaustion (maybe a little bit in the eyes). The level of depression I’ve just experienced and my high anxiety levels. We sometimes filter our lives as much as our pics. I’m doing ok today 😊
Today I’m 51. Fifty fecking one. FIFTY ONE. It’s shite. (Obviously I’m happy to be alive because the alternative is really shite) but yeah don’t tell me 50s are great. I’m not feeling it at all.
Can people stop saying “we’re all on the autistic spectrum”? Yes autism has a spectrum but you’re not autistic because you line your pens in a row. The same as you’re not ADHD because you lose your car keys. Stop reducing real battles to sound bites .
I was mulling this over tonight thinking about my time as a nurse. I received a fairly nasty comment about my looks from a faceless account recently so yeah I was reflecting on the relevance of such silliness in the grand scheme of things.
I really dislike those posts that ask a really mundane question to increase traffic on their post. Ooooh is it cream or jam first on a scone? Is it a ginnel or a snicket? Is it a bap or a breadcake? Is it wrong to punch a baby seal in the face?
Happy 25th anniversary to me. 25 years ago I finished university. I’ve worked in critical care, public health and 18 years with viruses and bacteria. It’s been the most frustrating, brilliant, overwhelming and enjoyable profession. 💙💙💙💙💙

Here’s the difference between how men and women think. Going on a first date tonight and he asked if I wanted him to pick me up from home. So I said “no as I’ve never met you”(he’d now know my address, I’d have no means to leave if I don’t like him and no control) his response
I’ve just been out for a jog (Which is miraculous in itself) but I also managed to get my hair in the words smallest pony tail 😂😂 it was a bit blustery hence the crazy look.
This time last year my hair was still zipped short . I’m trying to grow it a bit longer. It’s at the awkward bob stage. Getting there slowly but surely. I’m still loving my grey and happy I’ve grown the colour out (absolute pain in the arse at the time)
I gave up my Sky TV last year because I was struggling with money. I can’t recall suddenly having enough money to send my kids to private school. I also haven’t been on holiday for 12 years and still couldn’t afford private schooling. I must be doing something wrong.
#nurse
25 years I’ve been qualified. 30 years working in the NHS. I’ve met some amazing people in that time, colleagues, patients and families. I’ve seen miracles and tragedies. Forever grateful to be a nurse
#InternationalNurseDay
So I went to the pub earlier. Wore a bobble hat. Took hat in pub. Got home and yeah my hair looks crazy (worst is at the back). Thank God my make up was looking good 😂😂😂
To the driver behind me today who felt the need to honk his horn, flash his lights and gesticulate …. Yeah you felt a bit fucking stupid when you realised there was a cow on the road in front of me. Knobend
Went out last night. Started off in loud bars , thumping music. Hell. Ended up in old pub, which was still packed and busy with great atmosphere , absolute heaven. I’m officially elderly 😂😂😂
25 years ago I graduated and began my journey as a registered nurse. A quarter of a sodding century. So many memories with lots of laughter and many tears. (I look like I’ve got a coat hanger stuck in my mouth and dad looks like my security guard)😂😂
I was born in 1973 and distinctly remember having a dental hygiene session in primary school and having those pink stain tablets to show us where to brush . So this isn’t new . Melt
I got a lovely compliment today. A chap said I had a beautiful elegant face. Yes he was in his 80s , had jam jar glasses on and was a tad confused. But hey I also had my hand kissed by a very drunk homeless man on Saturday night so I’m kinda winning.
Thanks to the nurse I’ve just bumped into (after not seeing each other for several years) who said “oh you’ve got fatter. You used to be so lovely and slim”. WTAF? I don’t regard myself as overweight because I’m not but do some people not engage their brains before talking?
I have a day on my own today. I’ve chosen not to make plans with anyone. I’m going to drive to the coast, listen to my music, take a long walk . I really wish I had my doggo and still miss him in these moments. But he’ll be with me in spirit ❤️
I posted yesterday about feeling a bit shitty on my birthday and people who have absolutely no clue about my life telling me to “get on with it” “be grateful”. Kindly take your glib comments and stick them up your platitudes
There’s nothing worse than your best friend throwing you aside when they find a new relationship. I’ve tried to keep the friendship going but finally decided today that it’s actually no longer giving what a friendship should. Feels like a weight has been lifted.
Since I’ve started exercising and eating healthier I’ve fallen into the silliness of weighing myself and feeling guilty if I take a day off. Why the hell do I always stumble into that trap? No !!! Slob day for me today
Sat in Costa . Scrolling on here. Just as I liked a picture of a pillar box a man walked by and I know he saw me pressing the like button on said pillar box . This is why I’m single. I also wearing a parka jacket. I’m just off to write some train numbers in my book.
I spend so much time at the beach I’ve decided I’m going to move here. Just about to look at a flat to buy . Got here ridiculously early so I’m admiring the view. Yes it’s cold and yes it’s raining but I still love it here
You know when a man calls you a cunt because you dared question why he stood you up on a date and then he realises you’re back on dating sites and he messages you? Yeah . How should I respond ? Full nuclear? Or just utter disdain ?
If you’ve never had to deal with a family after they’ve lost their baby to whooping cough please don’t push your anti vax bullshit down my throat. Please and thank you. Dipshits
25 years ago since my beautiful mum died. How has it been so long? I’ve been nearly as long on the planet without her as I had with her. Still missed ❤️
Dating . nobody is entitled to your time. You’re entitled to leave at any point. You’re ok to say “no thanks” it’s ok to say “You’re not my type”. It’s ok to arrange a drink but then think “nope” It’s ok to be honest.
walked onto a ward and a patient made my week. She called me over and said “i just wanted to say how lovely you are. You look beautiful” I was a bit confused at first. seriously it’s the nicest compliment ever. How kind and sweet? And yes she was about 95 but i don’t care
I find it quite easy not to be racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic etc. I also find it easy to apologise if I say something which upsets somebody else. It’s really not that difficult is it?
This just popped up in my memories. I love the picture. We were quite drunk and it was sunny. On my down days I need to remember I still have good friends and summer isn’t too far away ❤️❤️❤️
I’m going twitching tomorrow. Slob day today and then a long walk and taking my binoculars to see some feathered friends . Am i officially old ? Yes. Does it make me happy ? Absolutely 😊😊😊😊😊
Talking with canteen lady at hospital. She told me she’s worked for nearly 30 years in the NHS and I said “oh me too”. She was shocked when she realised we’re the same age. She asked how come my skin is so good . I explained I live a very boring life 🙈🙈
I’ve started running in the mornings. I feel like I’m going to die every time I set off. When I get back you’d think I’d ran a marathon with how proud I am.
Thank you to these amazing people in Hull who cleared up after the thugs. I’d also like to say a huge thank you to all those working in the NHS. I feel extra protective of my colleagues who may feel they’re not welcome. You are so welcome. You keep the NHS functioning ❤️
I see so many TikTok’s saying women over 50 shouldn’t wear dark eyeliner. But I’ve decided if it was good enough for Elizabeth Taylor it’s good enough for this lass
You know when you just sit on a bench to take a breather and watch the world go by? Collecting ones deep thoughts and enjoying one’s own company and some fucker comes and thinks they need to talk to you because you look
“Kinda lonely”. No! Go away . Be gone human!
I’ve genuinely just had a middle aged man who wears a gimp mask for “artistic” reasons wearing nothing but PVC on TikTok tell me I’m a sad worn out attention seeker. You seriously couldn’t make this shit up 😂😂😂😂😂 my crime? …..
When person (man) follows me I’ll sometimes check who they’re following and what they’ve liked. Helpful to steer clear of weirdos . But looks like Elon needs to protect them rather than allowing transparency for others. 🧐 I wonder why
Hijacking the grief and despair of 3 families is bad enough but then “saving our country” by raiding Greggs and ShoeZone really scrapes the shittiest bottom of a barrel. How embarrassing for our city. Utter turds
Excuse the very crazy hair. But I’ve been cooped up like a chicken today and so bored I’ve done the most boring tiktok because I’m ….. boring and poorly .

Man sends DM after DM. I ignore. He DMd yesterday telling me he thinks it’s “mega cringe” that so many men comment on my selfies. This is the same man who DMs “you look great” (I ignore). “Hey”. “Hey” “you ok?” (I ignore). But yeah men on my TL are the issue . Blocked 😤
Did not enjoy my satnav bringing me over saddleworth moor at midnight . Fog so thick I had to slow down to 5mph. I very rarely get freaked out by driving but I had a “moment” last night. My satnav definitely hates me.
Since when has having grey hair as a man being an issue? As a woman who started going grey at 18 and only when entering my 50s dared to stop colouring it this kinda made me roll my eyes. I’m sure most men will just say “at least you’ve got hair”
Walking through the hospital grounds with colleague and an old chap walked past us and doffed his cap and said thank you. I was a bit stunned. Whoever this lovely man is he made my day. ❤️❤️
Well I did a good run this morning simply because I needed the toilet desperately. 😂😂😂 half way round and it was “oh dear god this is a precarious moment”. I’ve never moved so fast 😭😭😭😭😭😭
people have shared a few stories about family members and WW2 . This is my lovely grandad who was at Dunkirk. He was the gentlest man but never discussed his time during the war. Sadly we lost him in the 1980s but he was one of my fave people I’ve ever loved.
If you ever visit Hull I would say this is such a lovely pub to visit. Built in 1660s and became a pub in the 1700s. It saved my sanity last night and on many other evenings.
On a walk and a fox just barged past me. I thought it was a cat at first and then realised it was a beautiful fox!! It actually ran in front of my feet to jump over the wall into the church yard. 😍
5ft 8 . Why am I the only idiot knobrasher that can’t do a full length picture? I’m officially a failure . Yeah this was before I allowed grey to grow in and ate too many pies .
I’ve been wildly wrong! But, 5’11” - my lads have luckily dodged the “almost” gene, 17 is 6’1”. (There are almost no full length photos of me thankfully).
Probably my most boring Tiktok ever but its just a word of encouragement if you’re wanting to grow your grey because you’re fed up with retouching the hair dye every 2 weeks

Looking at the bemused faces of my colleagues when I tell them my sexual awakening was watching Duran Duran Wildboys video and John Taylor tied to the top of a car. I was eleven. They seem slightly shocked 😳😳
