It is with extreme sadness that I have to tell you that my best friend died this afternoon. I am completely devastated, Stanley sausage the goodest boy in the world
I'm heartbroken to share the news that we lost our beautiful Laura in the early hours of this morning.
She was fierce & tenacious to the end & it was truly the honour of my life to be her mum.
We are devastated at the thought of life without our girl, she was a force of nature💔
As a food delivery driver for
@sainsburys
my boyfriend
@timbamber
has worked throughout lockdown, I hope his customers and employer appreciate him as much as I do
Stanley had been on tv, front page of newspapers, in magazines, went to book launches, store openings and accompanied me to council often. He even slept with a government minister. He certainly lived a full life, just way too short
Well, that was a crazy couple of days!
I have been elected to Pendle Borough Council and to Lancashire County Council.
Unbelievably proud and also thankful of all the lovely support.
So after a 10 week weaning process supported by my doctor, I am now 1 week free of taking Citalopram that I have been on for over 3.5 years! I feel great and better by the day
You know the Martin Clunes song by the Japanese school girls by
@RealMattLucas
well I’ve discovered you can interchange his name with Heidi Klum... still works 🎶
Today is all about this guy. He left us a year ago and I’ve thought about him every day since, he really was the most special boy and he leaves a hole in my heart
Hi everyone! I’m doing really well and had a little walk around the house today. It’s cold and windy so I’m keeping wrapped up in fleece blankets - Stanley x
All this talk of Union Jacks, I have a massive tatty Union Jack on my office wall. It actually hung on the front of the building during the 1912 funeral procession of Wallace Hartley, the bandmaster from the Titanic who was from Colne
Just found out that the house I’ve just designed is for the male lead actor in the new production of All Creatures Great and Small 😍 Nicholas Ralph, butt ugly int he?
Grandma’s shopping list was basics for tea like sausages and chicken etc
I sneaked a pack of eclairs and some British strawberries and a pot of cream in there for a treat for her and grandad. She’s just called to say it was a delight! A little thing to brighten their lockdown
I’m getting in bed with a big fuck off bar of chocolate, a cup of tea and some telly. I’ve earned it.
I’ve cleaned the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, changed the bed, washed the carpet, vacuumed the whole house, watered the plants and done ALL of my ironing!
A couple of years ago I decided to move my shop into new premises, I knew there was a lot of work to do but I’ve never been scared of hard work and a challenge. Here’s the before and a pic today, I’m proudly acknowledging my progress
This person didn’t exist 12 months ago, it’s so weird to see myself changed. I’m nowhere near most people’s level but I’m havin’ a go and that’s what counts
Keep this little chap in your thoughts, he’s had an accident this morning and is having an MRI to diagnose issues and may need surgery. My world right there
When you’re driving along and your boyfriend says “turn right here and this is where my parents live and we can see if they’re in”
And that, dear reader, is how I met my boyfriend of 2 and a half years parents... today... out of the blue
So tomorrow I am heading off to spend 5 nights away from it all in Yorkshire with a Buddhist monk and actual Ruby Wax, I’ll be doing yoga and meditation and mindfulness. I am very excited.
Earlier this year I lost my seat on the town council which I was gutted about. I lost a job I adored and did my last shift last night. I lost my best friend last Saturday. A bit of a shitty time but I’m battling for the next stage of my life
I’m a homosexual, van driving, interior designer, bar man, waiter, atheist, building site labourer, trained teacher, Master of Arts, Conservative, knitter, northerner and I’m fucking amazing.... jus saying
Feel very emotional today, celebrating 8 years of
@liveliketheboy
but also feel melancholic, miss Stanley and miss having a party in the shop. Thanks to all who have supported my journey
Finally built the courage to self refer for minds matter today, within an hour I had a call then an email for questionnaires and I have a telephone triage on Wednesday morning. I feel so blessed that we have great services. Let’s do this
Yoga before breakfast, walking, wild swimming, sauna and ice bath before lunch and now for an afternoon with
@Rubywax
and
@Gelong_Thubten
to meditate and explore mindfulness
The more news articles I see about people being scammed when shopping online or couriers stealing or losing parcels, the more I think there could be a system where you walk into a place and pick the goods you want and hand over the money… I’m gonna call it A SHOP!
A year ago, after my boy spent a week in the vets, he had a lot of recovery ahead but we were so happy to be reunited. Thank goodness he fully recovered before I lost him, thank goodness we shared happiness before he left, I miss you every day dear boy
