@claireallan.bsky.social I really loved The Fabulous Forties Club! My favourite line, which made me laugh out loud, was "I would rather nail my boobs to the wall than set foot in a club." Can't wait for your next book!

I believe the Irish Tea Sock has made a statement on this matter, but thank you for bringing it to wider attention. My tea has now run out and I'll be implementing the third element of the International Tea Protocol.

PSA: Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland residents can choose whether to respect the British Tea Alarm or the Irish Tea Act. I don't think enough Americans know about this. The Irish Tea Act is based on a cumulative cups of tea drunk in a day, rather than an alarm system.

Yes. Post ovulation our skin tends to look less vibrant and elastic. Right before we menstruate again is usually the worst. It may also be a sign to get your hormone levels checked to see if anything is off.

How is it somedays you can look in the mirror and think 'Not too shabby' and on other days, despite wearing the same clothes, doing the same make up/ hair etc the reflection back at you feels like a proper jump-scare moment? Do we just have ugly days? Asking for a friend having a very ugly day.

A powerful, devastating and honest article on being the parent of a transgender child. Our transgender children are being failed. The govt has blood on their hands.

“I didn’t want a transgender child. I’m so ashamed of myself now” Nothing but love for @alicemydaughter.bsky.social for this interview with the Sunday Times magazine for her book, "Her name is Alice"

I'm 48 hours into Invisalign - the ache is real. But it's not as bad as I feared it would be - except when removing the trays so I can eat or drink. trays have to be in for minimum 22 hours a day - I thought that would be so easy. It's actually quite tricky esp when you take time over a meal 1/3

Can I share a lovely online shopping story - about a relatively small fashion outlet? I’ve recently purchased some beautiful dresses from Joanie clothing. They are brightly coloured, well made, 100% cotton (a real plus for menopausal me), with retro patterns & they make me feel AMAZING 1/

Son’s campus was evacuated today after a ‘malicious threat’ - all campuses of BIMM closed. A music college? WTF?

Visited a young and trendy (I know… I know) make up shop today. I like their products (which I’ve previously bought through TikTok shop). Let’s just say it’s not a place the more mature, less glam or experienced make up fan feels welcome. And this is why we will online shop.

Most important and dangerous press conference in modern times. Does Starmer isolate Trump now via his visit? Does Charles weigh in? All aid is finished now, NATO move in? All in global alliances are in play.

For two men who have professed such hostility towards taking the knee, they are surprisingly happy to do it for Putin, in the Oval Office, in full view of the world’s media.

All I can say when I watch the trump and vance who has the biggest balls meeting with Zelenski is... This is the patriarchy And it's fucking embarrassing The Patriarchy does not work It is and will destroy out earth Humanity is NOT a business

The rest of the world has to deal with Trump’s bullying, performative, point scoring cowardly bullshit. The rest of the world didn’t vote for him, but we have to live with the consequences of his actions.

"YOUR MA!"

‘Up your hole with a big jam roll’

Hate is a strong word. It’s one I tell my children to use judiciously. But I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, I hate Trump, Vance and what they stand for. I despise them with every fibre of my being. Evil, arrogance and entitlement personified.

When the history books are written, Trump will be remembered as the man who irreparably broke America in 39 days.

‘Up your hole with a big jam roll’

‘’Accrington Stanley? Who are they?’
