the Crumbling Dad

Nothing changes if nothing changes. Time to shift my mindset and pull myself out of this mental hellhole I have been in for the last 4.5 years. In that time, I have effectively been self harming. The reasons for being in this spiral are justified. It is understandable and for too long, I have been far too harsh on myself. I’ve gone through more in those 4.5yrs than many people experience in a lifetime. Some things I have been open about. Some I haven’t. However, like the Doomsday clock, I feel my personal Doomsday clock is getting very close to midnight. Things have to change. No short cuts and I need to accept that blips will happen along the way. Better food choices. More exercise. More reading. Professional psychology. Time to make it happen.

@Lauren_83_ @Shellfromzero @sleathing2n @tricky308 How fab ♥️

@nicolalalalala Booo! How bad can a handbag be?

@nicolalalalala DMs open 😂😂😂

@nicolalalalala We agreed you needed two gifts! Remember???

@FJB19 That’s what paracetamol is for 😬

@CrumblingDad Exactly, goes down like drinking velvet. A head full of spanner’s in the morning. 😂

I bloody love a wine bar. What a fabulous evening drinking very nice wine.

@nicolalalalala Is this the leaving gift to yourself or the starting new job gift?

@alliewillie38 Look at you two 💕

🥰♥️🥰

@FJB19 16% but so smooth

@CrumblingDad Great drinking, sneaky strong.

@Reefie2 My absolute favourite

@CrumblingDad Can’t beat a good amarone 😋

@win_confidante I’m off out to a wine bar. Watch this space 😂

@CrumblingDad 😭. Have some more wine tonight and make it work!

Wine has been drunk… do I somehow find a way to be in Istanbul next week. I’m in Edinburgh Monday/Tuesday but I could possible do some convoluted journey to be there. I’m such a tit.

@win_confidante Realistically 6pm flights. I think logistically it is just a stretch too far.

@CrumblingDad What time can you leave Glasgow/Edinburgh on the Tuesday? Couple of good flight options with a stop.

@robson_liz I’m in Edinburgh though!

@CrumblingDad There’s direct flights from London….do it!

@scotland_of Thank you. I need to make up my mind what I’m doing as if I do something fun, I need to arrange for someone to have my children!

@CrumblingDad We Scottish lions who haven’t a ticket are meeting for the game in Edinburgh on Wednesday and well you said you were in there Monday Tuesday that’s an option

@win_confidante The two options I have found so far are flights to Sofia… and then driving or flights to Dalaman… and then driving. Both would be about a 19hr drive 😂

@CrumblingDad DO IT!!!

@nicolalalalala I am up regularly as I have a big client who is Edinburgh based and another Glasgow based client too. I usually combine the two when possible which means I’m up for 2-3 nights. I’ll message next time it isn’t such a crazy schedule.

@nicolalalalala Indeed although it is even more of a flying visit than usual. Train at 5pm Monday night with a colleague. Meeting 9-12 Tuesday and then train at 1 back home (as I have the kids Tuesday night).

@roxyfox140978 Ha, I was a tit because of how convoluted the journey would be. Thankfully on this occasion, nothing booked!

@CrumblingDad Youre not a tit... You're chasing excitement. Do it. Don't ever not... Life is for living and if you are able... Grab itxxx
