@ASimpleJan Janet, I’m so sorry. I send every piece of love and hope to you and Aidan. Xxxx

The world's on fire, my parents are gone, and my wonderful husband has stage 4 cancer. Not sure where or how to go on from here.

@phlaimeaux @maxrushden Love her

@wstorr Hi Will, I tried to book today but, alas, too late 😭 not sure if this an option but If you have a recording you could send of event I’d happily pay the fee via revolut (or whatever works). I’m mad with myself for missing it!

Can everyone defending Phillip Schofield based on the claim that his affair with that lad started when the boy was 18, just stop now? I'm in an age gap relationship. A big age gap actually. Guess how old I was when I met my older partner? 25. Guess how old this boy was when he met Phil? 10. I really couldn't give a shit if nothing sexual happened until the boy was 18. They were following each other and tweeting back and forth as far back as when the boy was still a minor. Now, would these facts alone prove that the boy was groomed if we were in a court of law? No. But am I a fucking idiot? No. I mean, it's not as if Phil told the public he had no idea his brother was a nonce even though he revealed to authorities that his brother had told him about sexually abusing a minor and that he responded with "don't do it again". Oh, wait! That DID happen! You know what I'd do if my brother told me he did that to a child? Call the police. But that's just me, I guess. Anyway, here are some completely unrelated magazine covers that I totally did not write comments on:

@lizzienugent Liz, if the longing is still on you - country bake Dalkey does the most amazing Victoria sponge. Light as a feather (we devoured one at weekend).

@SamBaker @alisonbarrow @csittenfeld Loving The Hero of this Book also - downloaded it last night - so thanks for rec!

Join @csittenfeld on this week’s ep of The Shift pod to talk romcoms, double standards, why hot women happen to average men but not the other way around (strange that) and how the 💩 that happens to us all by our 40s is the great leveller #romanticcomedy (1 of 2!)

@SamBaker @alisonbarrow @csittenfeld Really enjoyed it.

@CharliSolo Yeah it was a great class - @trisha460 also in it, and Holly White as I recall. You ladies are flying it! Kudos to @conor_kostick for being a wonderful teacher

@CharliSolo Congrats Charleen. Remember we did Conor kostick’s class together years ago?! Delighted for you :-)

@louisemcsharry The colour catchers in my last shop broke me 😭

Just showed a random stranger at the bar this photo of my shopping today and roared ‘EIGHTY EURO’ in her face so yes I’d say the cozzie livs is getting to me.

@Annie_Whitmore @darachos Completely agree. sheer bitter-sweet beauty this book 😭 (with some serious sub-conscious jungian stuff going down)

Genuinely have to take a deep breath to stop myself crying every single time I read this book

@sheilareilly123 Sheila, I am so, so sorry to hear of the loss of your little girl. What a beautiful little rainbow of joy she seems to have been and will always remain. You and Ross and all the family are in my thoughts. Strength and love to you all. Xx

Our beloved daughter Rhona Rose has died. She was a ray of pure sunshine - warm, bright and vibrant. It was a joy to be part of her world. rip.ie/death-notice/r…

@AddressingLife Mind yourself. ❤️

13°C in my house currently. Ran out of heating oil a few days ago. Every joint in my body aching now. Anxiety attack this morning & I can't catch my breath stressing about life, loss, finances & some major decisions to be made. I just want peace & security. Both seem elusive.

@Carmeldoyle So cool! Have a wonderful time - your wedding looked so beautiful!

Happy new year all from beautiful Florida.

@PatrickFreyne1 @TheBusinessRTE @urchinette It’s gorgeous - having heard you this morning I’m currently listening to it on repeat 😂 yes it has a dark melancholia to it, and yes it does spark feelings of existential angst deep within my soul. But frankly I’d rather that than my ears bleeding every time I hear bloody Slade
