Amy Ransom

Started my course with @thenovelry and reading my Hero book shortlist. If #noraephron was alive I would go find her and HUG her for her Introduction in Heartburn and recognition of the bizarre entitlement that comes with cheating.

@icelandrichard Meanwhile, I am still trying to get a refund for a shop Iceland didn’t deliver on Sunday. Months of problems. Had to replace the shop and fund it. Not great in a cost of living crisis! How do I email you Richard? I’ve had an auto reply saying you don’t use your Iceland email.

And well done Tesco! 🙏🏻 Quick as you like the rest of you… bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

@Bethink_RBX @newfissy @AdoptMeSupport @TeamAdoptMe my daughter accidentally bought your VIP. Is it possible to apply for a refund somewhere? She doesn't get many robux to spend. Thank you.

@emilyandmore I may get the washing up bowl and do that 🤣

@amyransomwrites I have my feet in the paddling pool and now can’t move.

I am in floaty cotton dress and am still boiling. Do we *really* have to wear clothes?!

@MsEmilyMorris @JenniferBardall Self-publishing is how I started too. I published in hardback and sold 3000 copies in a year. It was hard work (I posted them all myself) but pretty lucrative. I then sold it to Penguin Random House.

@MsEmilyMorris I agree it’s hard to make a living, until you have a few books under your belt and sometimes not even then. But that doesn’t have to define our idea of success. You are still a writer if you also work to pay the bills or write whilst serving up fish fingers 🤣 #3kids #separated

Probably my biggest procrastination yet. Moving all the kids’ bedrooms around in 34 degree heat just to avoid editing my first draft 🤣 #amwriting #writinglife #shittyfirstdraft

@emilyandmore I don’t know either 🤣

I’ve reopened IG after two months away and all I can say is: WTF are Reels?!

@SuzanneWTweets Good luck to you both 😘

@LondonAikido @CostaCoffee The staff in Blackheath Village (if that’s where you’re talking about) are always amazing! I think they’re doing a great job in these times, especially given the number of people who still don’t wear masks when buying their coffee. They keep me sane 🤣

@CostaCoffee #londonblackheath not very happy staff want to serve my coffee in a #takewaycup because they are closing at 8pm. Staff was really put out when I told him that I wanted in a latte glass. #notgreatservice

@Djingenie @EnviroLewisham @MPSLewisham This one you mean? It was still going at 3.15 am...

thanks people, with your party and playing music through loudspeakers on Blackheath and disturbing my evening. @EnviroLewisham @MPSLewisham

@Edspire This made me laugh, after a night where this was still going on at 3.15 am on the heath near us. Sadly I don’t know where they live... 🤣#rave

I am generally very good about keeping my children inside until a reasonable hour but if the party currently going on behind our house does not quieten down at a reasonable hour you can bet my littles will be in the paddling pool at 6am tomorrow morning!!!!

@karamina I have to do this too, today! Writing my first fiction book, after ditching my last one because I didn't really like the heroine. Turns out it makes quite a difference when you do. Good luck!

@MetroPubCo @HareandBillet @CricketersTW9 Shame you didn't consider this intelligently and also speak to residents before opening out of pure courtesy. Yesterday was particularly diabolical with over 400 people not social distancing, blocking public footpaths and urinating wherever they fancied.

With more time allowed to be spent in parks, three of our pubs that sit on some of London’s best parks have reopened for drinks only. @HareandBillet Blackheath, @CricketersTW9, Richmond Green and @themerchantpubnear Clapham Common. metropolitanpubcompany.com/return-of-park…

@PaulLomax @sean_a_flynn @MetroPubCo @HareandBillet @CricketersTW9 As a resident, I can tell you it's awful. We have people urinating against the walls of our houses, on the small green facing our houses from 12 PM every day. I thought we were in the midst of a health crisis. Clearly not. Thanks @greeneking for giving this ZERO thought.

@sean_a_flynn @MetroPubCo @HareandBillet @CricketersTW9 Yeah, it’s a worry up on Blackheath given there are no public toilets and no bars or cafes have their toilets open. If people start pissing everywhere there will be questions about licensing I imagine.

@SuzanneWTweets Wow, she is so talented!

@Tattooed_Mummy So would I. I often let the cupboards run bare. The way people are nipping out to the shops every 4 minutes is ridiculous, increasing their risk and everyone else’s every time. Shopping has become the new leisure activity.

@Gingerbread @BBCNews can we get Coronavirus guidance for single parents? If ex-partner isn’t being as fastidious as we are social distancing shouldn’t we just halt sharing kids for the time being? Rather than compromise the effort the primary parent is putting into #StayAtHome
