I’m sure everyone else’s 16 year old is listening to hip hop. Mine’s in her room, singlehandedly performing every part in The Phantom of the Opera. 👀🎭

Note to Self: 30 deadlifts in the gym is too many. Walking today with shoulders like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. 😖

This was a very... humbling... gym class this morning. 😐 #sideplanksarethedevil

2024 has become the year of my watermelon addiction. #midnightfeast

Fabulous morning pootle! Even if my navigating was, well.... pretty poor. We got round eventually. 😄

@maryharristw I’m seeing trees being massacred everywhere at the moment. I’m trying to read up on what kind of ‘permission’ is needed, but it seems to be just a nod from the council unless there’s a TPO. There should be a public notice on a🌲explaining why it’s doomed before it is cut down.

Oh my god - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That was the tree with the roosting birds and the multicoloured leaves! (literally pink, pale blue, red, yellow leaves fell each year to the ground)

@SianElvin Errrrr.... 😱

Was given this yesterday and I think I had nightmares about it

Ahhhhh. The beauty of a pre-7am toddler tandtrum. 🥴 Today’s coping strategy will be: more tea. ☕️

@mattiassimeone Gotta love Temu. And it’s big brother, Shein. 🤣

All the targeted ads coming up on ‘me socials’... they’re all for collagen supplements. Should I be offended? 😯👵🏼

Posting a select few photos that create an illusion of me having a tidy, well gardened garden. Actually it’s a mess. 😃

@kaikouramonkey Ha ha! Yes, I do wonder what will become of it when we’ve baked 2 loaves, the novelty has worn off and it’s still bubbling and expanding like some kind of glutenous triffid. 😯

@EmmaPresenterVO We’ve still got some ‘living’ in our fridge - been months! Husbands obsession, not mine, I’m just happy to eat the darn stuff, not having it fermenting in my fridge for an eternity

Our first attempt at a sourdough starter! Just living the housewife dream over here. 🙋🏻‍♀️ (All advice gratefully received. I have no idea how to do this.) 🍞 #sourdoughnewbie

@derekjohnsonitv Lols, it’s the ‘starter’ concoction for baking sourdough bread. It bubbles away and ferments and grows, like a hungry teenager, then you use it instead of yeast to bake a nice loaf of bread. 🤓🦠

@EmmaPresenterVO Sorry what is this?????

You know I might even put the washing on the line this afternoon! Wild times! 🧺 #springhassprung #housewifesjoy 🌼

Name me a more loveable softy than Disney’s 1967 incarnation of Baloo in The Jungle Book. I’ll wait. 😌

Put the #Starbucks mermaid lady through some Snapchat filters. 👍🏼

Happy Boxing Day. Cue the onslaught of targeted advertising for perfume and jewellery and clothes that I have no intention of buying. 👍🏼 (but will end up buying because they’re 50% off.)

Just saw 2 deer on the side of the A21, munching on grass. Of COURSE they were a couple of Santa’s crew, having a quick refuelling break. So excited to have actually seen them!!! 😍🤪🎄🦌

@sjrobertson @BBCMaryam She’s reached Icon status. 😂🙌🏼

Ok so this is THE best Christmas card I’ve received so far this year 😂 @BBCMaryam
