@InchOrInfinity Mine expired when I tried to get into a wedding dress I loved and it didn't fit. I'm trying to figure out getting into it but I've not made it into a pool or a gym yet...

Turns out the "giving my body grace because it had a baby" expired at 6 months after giving birth lmao

@CrippsCorner @InchOrInfinity ...and mayonnaise even NEAR his food never ends well, but pasta sauce and pizza are fine even though ketchup is awful - there's no logic to it at all like there is with my issues with eating meat, but I just don't want to pass any of that onto the little one)

@CrippsCorner @InchOrInfinity Because he and I have weird food quirks and I've had a few diet related issues (such as severe anaemia) before, I don't want to limit anything he might eat. (It's things like I have an intense aversion to a lot of pastry, his dad doesn't eat sauces...

My parents are doing non vegan allergen exposure for the baby for us (we thought a lot about this as vegans & as parents so if you don't agree I didn't ask) with eggs/milk & she LOVES French toast & now omelette as well 😭 I was kind of hoping she'd hate eggs ngl 🥲

@InchOrInfinity Not that you need more stress and complication but if they won't admit it, you can go to your insurance company about it and they can handle it. I know it's not the best option given insurance companies can be rubbish...

1300 to get my car fixed and she drives like brand new but it's also all scratched to bits and the garage is saying they know nothing about it like they just magically appeared 🫠🙃

@InchOrInfinity And had a baby! I can say snap to all of these except getting married but I'm doing that this year, too

Things I have done whilst living with chronic mental illness: - worked full time - got performance awards at work - wrote a book - went to the gym - gone on holiday - got married - went out with friends Your idea of disability & mental illness is wrong if that shocks you

@InchOrInfinity I bought my wedding dress in my pre-pregnancy size with the intention of slimming into it by 8/9 months PP. Might have been a mistake...

Tried pre-pregnancy bikinis on today at 5 months pp and it was brutal (I strongly do not recommend) BUT I got myself a fancy new swimming costume and beachy clothes which made me feel way better instead of spiralling about it ❤️

@InchOrInfinity I'm glad it's not just me that this happens to. Little man definitely seems to be calmer for his dad.

I swear my baby enters Easy Mode when my husband is the one looking after her

@InchOrInfinity And that someone else is washing bottles and baby clothes!!

"Sleep when baby sleeps" implies the BABY SLEEPS

@InchOrInfinity I stopped half way through. Didn't love it.

Controversial opinion but I'm not enjoying reading The Handmaid's Tale nearly as much as I expected to... Could be my sleep deprived brain idk but it's starting to become a bit of a chore. 🙈

@InchOrInfinity I mean the last time it happens... Early motherhood is muddling my brain!!

@InchOrInfinity It won't be the first time it's happened, it won't be the last time it's happened. But then again, you can say that about anything with pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting, can't you? Hope you're okay!!

Crying in front of everyone at baby massage was not a winner moment for me 🙃

@zackpinsent I do! I do! I took a zip out of a dress and out in a new one on the train from London to Edinburgh once because I needed to wear the dress that night... I was so proud.

Who else sews on the train?

@InchOrInfinity Oh my days, where do you find the energy?? This looks awesome!!

I did want to make my own tortillas but the baby started kicking off so that is tomorrow's job Needs more sugar but I am happy with this overall! Pineapple salsa, lime & coriander rice, refried black beans, spicy not beef stew ❤️ Plus how cute are 🎄 tortilla chips

@WorldRugby Disappointed that the Canadian player bashing a Welsh players head into the floor twice by grabbing the back of the neck wasn't picked up by the TMO in the midst of the two other decisions. Completely dangerous, cynical and uncalled for, but entirely missed.

@sushimustwrite Because we said goodbye a while ago now. X

I'm exclusively at the blue place these days even though I barely post there, but the NaNoWriMo nonprofit is shutting down byeeeeee Full text of the email at Reddit: reddit.com/r/nanowrimo/co… Why am I not sad about this

I don't know how many years later it is, but this still popping up occasionally really makes me laugh... @CaraLisette

@Biggreenbooks @CamillaElworthy @panmacmillan That's amazing, thank you. Just ordered as only just got back from work!! ❤️

@CharliesWrite @CamillaElworthy @panmacmillan OK! I don't have a £2.99 version of Huck Finn on my website, but if you want, you can buy the signed copy of Percival and add this "random product" with it. biggreenbookshop.com/big-green-excl… I'll know what it is and make sure the two books get posted together next week?

James by Percival Everett is out in a couple of weeks time. We'll be getting SIGNED copies! It's a reimagining of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, told from the perspective of the enslaved Jim. Gonna be HUGE! Order here. biggreenbookshop.com/signed-copies/…

@Biggreenbooks @CamillaElworthy @panmacmillan That would be awesome!

@CharliesWrite @CamillaElworthy @panmacmillan I can send a copy of Huckleberry Finn with James for an extra £2.99 if you like. Probs a good idea to read it as well, but not essential.
