I’m having knee surgery on Thursday and the kids dad just told me he is working on Friday as he forgot to tell them he needed the day off. Lovely stuff.

Absolutely sick to death of this weather 💀

On a positive note, home by 4.45

The team just got booed back onto the pitch for the second half 😂

Very glad it’s Friday after the week I’ve had

Ma Kelly’s on a Wednesday night 💃🏽

I’m teaching my daughter - an anxious little people pleaser - to stand up for herself against more dominant girls at school, using accountability as her weapon of choice. Today she told one horrible little cow, “I don’t want to play with you because you say horrible things about me to people …

Ian Evatt doesn’t half talk shite

Better start looking at who’s in League Two then

Ice cream and milkshake under duvet and blankets in the van, waiting for the weather to warm up so a day can become a weekend adventure 😀

Stickers > flags 🗼🧡

I’m lying in bed, in the dark, and I can hear Alexa talking in the bedroom next door. Only me in the house though 😰

I’m having knee surgery in 4 weeks and honestly cannot wait. I’d like them cut my leg off by mistake so I don’t have to return to my shitshow of a job for several months. Hope my GP’s up for the challenge of masking horrific burnout behind keyhole surgery recovery. Another sick note? Yes please.

Honestly just fuck off

This Salford v Swindon game is ace! Proper cup tie.

Good to know that if you’re having a shit week, it can always get even more shit than you thought 👍🏽

Just watched some footage of some male “patriots” patrolling the streets of Blackpool, hanging some sad, limp flags and claiming to be protecting women in their duties. Approached a lone female walking down the street, asking her age and if she was single, filming her the whole time.

Been doing a job application this weekend for which I’m allowed to use AI to refine the wording of my examples. Quite the headfuck when it starts rewriting its own work. “Consider shortening this sentence by adding brevity…” YOU WROTE THE FUCKING SENTENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU GASLIGHTING ROBOT 🤯

Posted a couple of weeks ago about the club sponsors putting on free coaches to Ipswich for the FA Cup game tomorrow. 20 (TWENTY) coaches full of Tangerine lunatics making that journey tomorrow. What an incredible (also mental) number of people travelling 7 hours each way to watch us get twatted 🍊

Plumbed a new washing machine in today lads 💪🏽

Oh fuck off

This ref is an absolute cunt

Went to a New Year’s Eve party with the kids. Absolutely monumental mistake if I wanted to get any enjoyment out of today. Spending my birthday managing the behaviour of two colossal dickheads. 2/10, do not recommend.

Happy new year everyone! 🎉 Spare a thought for the poor twats who mark the start of each new year by moving up the age ladder. Thoroughly depressing stuff, and that’s before we get to 3pm 😒 #48

Christmas tv has been utter dogshit this year

Extremely excited for 36 hours of silence

One of the club sponsors is putting on free coaches to our FA Cup game at Ipswich next month. Great gesture but absolutely no thanks. 10 coaches filled so far though! What a ridiculous number of people making questionable life choices 😅

I’ve really fancied a full fat pint the last few days so decided I’ll have a couple on Boxing Day in the pub after the game. Accepted my decision and been quite looking forward to it. Woke up today and thought “nah, don’t want one now” 😂 How bloody contrary of me. The 775 day streak continues! 🙌🏽

Excited girl ✅ Grumpy teenage boy ✅ Knackered mum ✅ Wrapping paper everywhere ✅ Chocolate for breakfast ✅ No room to sit down anywhere ✅ Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🏽🎄🎉

Spent today setting up for Christmas Day service at the food bank I volunteer with. 85 adults & kids will be served a full Christmas dinner and given presents. Hopefully bring a bit of Christmas magic to people ✨ Very proud of my two kids who helped set the tables and organise the presents 🎁

They've been particularly....devilish in my house this year!

Christmas Eve is the undisputed champion of Christmas 👌🏽 The elves have left a Christmas Eve box 🎁 Peak levels of excitement 🤩 Christmas magic is all around ✨

May have gone too far with the elf mischief this time 👀

I’m fully stocked up with 0% drinks for my third sober Christmas and today all I can think about is the bottle of Kronenbourg Blanc waiting patiently in the back of a cupboard for me to capitulate 🥲

Anyone familiar with Blackpool, this line of cars queuing for Big Tesco goes all the way back to Marton Circle 😅

Eliza casually dropped an entirely new Christmas present list this evening, completely unaware of the mild heart attack she was causing as she listed things I’ve no chance of buying now ❤️‍🩹

🔥🔥🔥

Going to a supermarket today is Mad Friday for the middle aged 🥊

I’m having a very bad OA flare up in both knees 😫 Driving to Cardiff and back this week hasn’t helped. Could barely get up and down stairs tonight so the thought of climbing up to Row X tomorrow is impossible. Also, fucking OUCH! 😣

I hate the M4, M5 and the M6 😩 The M55, however, is a thing of pure tarmac beauty 😍

I set off driving to Cardiff at 12.30 and, even though I’ve been driving forever, I’m still 2 hours away. Utterly tedious journey. Im also fucking knackered from mental dreams and some sleepwalking last night 👩🏽🔫

Finally getting there 🙌🏽

Never not raining is it 😫

This team is utter dogshit

I know it’s only the pizza cup but fucking hell 💀💀💀

Had a deep clean treatment at the dentist today. Unpleasant but manageable at the time. Tonight my mouth feels like I’ve been eating glass 😣

Football is very bad 😭

Last visit for the year. Won’t miss this fucker over winter 😒

I have not been very nice to talk to today 😅

The food bank charity I volunteer with is also a designated SWEP accommodation provider so after service tonight we set up temporary beds for rough sleepers. Four clients from tonight’s service have been approved for shelter by the council and it was so lovely chatting with them while we worked.
