@StagecoachEMid What's happened to the 7:20 8 for Lincoln?

#LINCOLN Due to technical issues the 08:05 Service 7 will not be operating. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

@rebeccahollyxo_ I wore a book related jumper! Designed and created by a book subscription company 🤣 I don't work in a school but I wanted to celebrate books!

Clue is in the name. BOOK. Annoys me no end.

@BexBookaholic I went to work in my TBR jumper from #wordyandwild

The fact that World Book Day is not a public holiday is an insult to my religion

Playing The Cranberries Zombie on repeat unfortunately it's too relevant for the current times. We should make it go viral as a peaceful protest

@Balavage Making us pay for the cyber attacks. It's why no dividend bonus to staff & customers were given last year as well

Why is the Co-op so expensive? What does it think it’s got going for it?

@sspencerukk I definitely find it more reasonable for the basic foods. Sure you can make things expensive but its cheaper for basics compared to other supermarkets and like of Heron etc

Am I going mad or has M&S become cheaper than Tesco and Sainsbury’s?

@BritToSwiss Yes but they're expensive this year like real expensive

Are mini eggs in the shops yet UK people? I’m over next week and I need to decide what luggage size to bring…..

@lincolncouncil Is there a way to potentially intercept a bin? Highways bin on Monks road that might potentially have my dad's wedding ring in today 18/02 ? He's gone to see if he can find it and believes it may have fallen into the bin! It holds huge sentimental value

@autcareandshare That's lovely of them I think because of the current times they often think only one person is eating because of costs and Ryan getting a meal would be your priority. It's lovely that they noticed and were kind instead of trying to be forceful with you ordering

Went to 5guys after the cinema yesterday, got Ryan a meal sat in the booth, I never order anything for myself I always eat when I get home, anyway Ryan's sat with his meal , one of the people that work there come up and ask if everything is OK with the meal, and then asks me if id like something to eat, I explain I eat when I get home he then says go on let me get you a drink my treat, I say yes thankyou, this the second time this has happened, I think its lovely of them, i think they were concerned I wasnt eating or something I don't know, but the staff are always fantastic always very kind.

Cheers to Monday! Music is therapy if it rains tomorrow I apologise. I'm jamming out while singing 😂

@mikejwhelan Michael I don't know you personally but I've been following your journey. Caregiving isn't easy but you have done amazing loving and caring for Rebecca you've been through so much. I hope you get time to also now take care of you so you can continue to care and love Rebecca

REBECCA UPDATE I’ll say this right out loud: Rebecca’s illness really messes with my head. The past two days were just damn awful. I honestly didn’t know if she was dying or if I should rush her to the hospital. I felt completely clueless about what the right thing was for her — and that’s a terrifying place to be when you love someone this much. When she slept for hours without moving and then didn’t know who I was, and a whole lot more— that scared me enough to finally call Hospice — a team we’d already met with twice before. That moment felt heavy and final. But then, last night, something shifted. I crawled into bed around 7, and she woke up a bit. Not a lot — but noticeably more coherent than she’d been in days. That gave me a small sense of relief. I still barely slept. Maybe three hours. So in four days, I’ve had about nine hours of sleep total. I have never experienced this. I can feel myself getting foggy, worn down, and a bit confused at times. The nurse yesterday said right out loud in the beginning that I was suffering from caregiver burnout. 🤷‍♂️ But this morning, she surprised me again. She knew who I was. She was able to drink a nutritional shake. For a brief moment, I started questioning everything. Did I jump the gun with hospice? Was she just exhausted? Was it a bad reaction to her meds? And then reality showed up again. She suddenly became agitated — she had to go to the bathroom—#2. Getting her out of bed and onto the toilet was painful and stressful for her and me and that stress sent everything off the rails. The tremors exploded. The fear. The agitation. For those moments, she slipped right back into that psychotic space that terrifies both of us. Once I got her back into bed, she slowly calmed down again. That’s the pattern now. Any stress. Any overstimulation. Anything physical. It all sets her off. And in her condition, helping her is incredibly hard — she has very little ability to help me help her. I’m praying hospice was the right decision. There is some relief — nurses, social workers, caregiver counseling, aides who come by — and I’m grateful for that. But the truth is, I’m still the primary caregiver. Still here 24/7. Because Rebecca and I don’t have family here in Orlando, we don’t have that built-in support system most people rely on. Hospice works beautifully when there are others to share the load. When it’s just one person… it’s different. So I’m learning. In real time. And I’m starting to think it may be smart to look into caregiver services like Visiting Angels — just to get a few hours here and there. Time to go to my own doctor. Time to take the dogs to the vet. Or honestly, time to rest. This isn’t giving up. It’s adjusting. Still figuring this out. One day at a time.

@RadarLanark Thinking of you today. Anne would be really proud of you for everything you've overcome, your growth while also continuing her legacy. Thoughts are with you

At 0235 two years ago today, Anne passed away, finally free from the indignities of Alzheimer's. I miss her everyday. ❤️

@_sorrengailll Focus and prioritise you. Think of all the bad times it makes you feel better

Girl to girl, what's the fastest way to got over him? Don't say blocked or delete his number. I'm talking about something that actually worked :(

@bushontheradio Magic key when our chimney fell down when I was little

Question for other parents: How are you explaining Santa getting into the house to drop off the presents if you don't have a chimney? Have been under tough cross examination by the 7 year old.

@ByYourBedside Yes I got the kids for Christmas that year it's all I asked for 🤣

Does anyone else remember the Argos blue alien Christmas adverts from about 10 years ago? Where there's a family of blue aliens and the Dad got more and more stressed as the days went on? Everyone looks at me like I've lost the plot, so I'm wondering if I imagined it all...

@John_Dabell This is amazing news chest drains are hard but it's one step closer to more comfort for you and quality of life that you deserve

Some good news! My chest drain was removed this morning! Here's part of what was in my chest. Little wonder I had lots of pain. My lung is still healing, so I still have to keep an eye on things, but it's one less tube. Quality of life has already gone up!

@rebeccahollyxo_ I think because people didn't give him time at first and have realised he's lovely

How is Tom still there?! #imaceleb

@rebeccahollyxo_ I'm still fuming

Wanted Lisa to win #ImACelebity

@jazzyjjo89 Very neat scars from your surgeon. Here's to a steady recovery (I don't say speedy) time is a healer

I wasn’t going to do this but had sooo many requests 😂. This is my wound,it runs under the ribs and up to my chest.I am gutted to be missing todays game, listening to it just isn’t the same. Being in agony is no fun either but the bastard aint getting me down !! 💙 UTFT

@autcareandshare Very handsome Ryan, what a proud moment for you both to cherish. Adam you must be so proud Ryan really has done so much this year out of his normal comfort zone

We have arrived at Ryan's first ever black tie event, its to celebrate 15 years of Ryan's daycentre being open and yes Ryan's wearing a suit which is pretty amazing.i cant begin to tell you how proud I am of him. 🥂
