If I’d planned ahead I could have done, but I had nothing in for dinner tonight so I had to go and get something. Done, dusted, back home in my slob wear πŸ™ˆ

When I tell you I am exhausted, I mean I could quite literally finish work now and transport myself straight into bed.

But I need to go shopping because I didn’t get chance at the weekend 😭

When did we start with the yassification of Hot Cross Buns?

We don’t need a caramelised biscuit filled hot cross bun that oozes out everywhere, or a chilli one, or any of the other 500 weird concoctions.

A simple, traditional hot cross bun - toasted, with butter - is all you need tbqh.

Jessie J’s debut album, Who You Are, turns 15 this year, and I was going through some old photos.

I can’t for the life of me remember what phone I had at the time but check out the state of these photos from her first tour πŸ˜‚

Honestly, it makes your nudes even hotter when I can see you’ve had the awareness to label it yourself.

And salt! I can feel my body drying out.

Honestly I feel grim! I’m convinced it has given me a headache and I’m so bloated.

Look at these cuties though! You know when you just KNOW you’re meant for another life but you ended up in the wrong universe?

Somewhere out there I’m living my best life on a farm with loads of livestock that I can love on every day. A dream.

My sister came over with the kids this afternoon and we went to the farm, came back and had domino’s for dinner, and as much as I enjoy it, I now remember why I never eat it. God I feel so uncomfortable after it.

Now, I wonder who has been telling him I like package at my back door… πŸ€”

07.03.2026 22:36 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Although I heard him open the front gate, I went to the front door and was thinking β€˜I’m sure I heard someone come up the path’, then he popped from the side of the house and went β€˜I’ve left it at your back door’ πŸ˜‚

I went and checked the delivery note and there wasn’t a safe place set. Odd.

I have to take it all back πŸ˜‚ it arrived in time.

07.03.2026 21:54 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I take it back.

I’ll take every bad thing I’ve ever said about Evri back if they get this to me before I leave to leave at 4 and it doesn’t have to be sat on my doorstep until I get back.

What do we reckon my chances are?

β€œOrder before 9pm for next day delivery”

Me: *orders at 2pm*

Evri: β€œguess what! We have your parcel right here at your local depot but we’re probably not going to send it out today. BYEEEEE”

What are your favourite tracks? I’ve not listened to it all the way through yet. I’ll probably finish it off today.

But people should be able to say they don’t like something without getting outright abused. But such is social media these days.

I’d better get back to reading Shift before this returns!

Funnily enough I bought that same top for when I went to South Africa in December and they’re nice, they just don’t hold shape very well. Fine for the gym I think but wasn’t great with all day wear.

If you have a Primark near you I was pleasantly surprised at their sports t-shirts!

Next sports shorts are are pretty decent you know! I really like them.

As much as I like Gymshark I feel the waistbands can be a little too much on the fitted side sometimes

Stan culture is *out of hand* in some corners of the internet.

I saw someone say they didn’t like Harry Styles’ new album and they’ve got BULLIED with people commenting on their hair line, how they look, their appearance etc… all because they had the free will to say don’t like the album?

Wild!

Tbf the irony is I’ve never once played a PokΓ©mon game in my life but I think it had that AC vibe from what I saw πŸ˜‚

Sadly, not being fired altogether. He’s keeping her around which tells you he did know about that ad spend, despite saying he didn’t.

β€œHer loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan”.

She probably does need some help and support, but it’s because of the trauma caused BY the conservatorship she was in to start with, and that money hungry family of hers.

She doesn’t need them anywhere near her!
