Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It’s now three weeks since the child went to uni. This is the longest I have ever gone without seeing her. 210
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Early morning FaceTime with the child. I asked if she was awake for an early class, she explained that she woke up for the new Taytay songs. Some things never change. 020
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Last winter when Bake Off finished the child said ‘Next year you might be watching Bake Off without me’ And here we are. 000
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Weekend two as empty nesters, and I have FINALLY convinced husband that he’d like Downton. We’re going in to episode 1. 200
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The child has now been at uni for a week. So far so good, no wobbles at all (even from me), and tonight she is considering *not* going clubbing. 240
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 16/09/2026@interestingnick.bsky.social Happy moving day. I hope it goes smoothly. 100
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Whatever, Sydney Sweeney. This is what women in sport actually look like. 130
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Child cuddling the dog ‘I’m going to miss you the most’ So it’s nice to know where I stand. 020
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Dog lying in his bed surrounded by a proper, huge, beef bone, a chew toy, and a tennis ball. What was he chewing? My flip flop. 160
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Husband is 50 tomorrow. He’s less ready for adulthood than his daughter. But we’re doing shots and counting down his last two hours in his forties. 120
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 13/08/2026My baby got her a level results today. This time in 5 weeks she’ll be in her halls at uni, having an amazing time. People keep asking if I’m sad, but I’m thrilled for her. She’s ready to go, we’ve done our job properly. 140
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I started playing netball for fun with some women from the gym back in September. We lost more than we won in the autumn, did ok after Christmas, and now find ourselves two games away from an unbeaten summer league season. All of a sudden it feels like a lot of pressure. 010
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 08/08/2026The child has booked her move in slot for her halls, and has added ‘X leaves home’ to the Apple family calendar. Brutal. 230
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Due to some very poor decision making on my part I am doing a full Hyrox sim at my gym tomorrow. Until this week I have been a passionate Hyrox-refuser, so this is quite the turnaround. 140
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Unless you play a catchy tune I can do a little ‘The washing is clean’ dance to. 000
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I think I have watched Emily Campbell’s 163kg clean and jerk more than 20 times today. She is the absolute GOAT, and her lifting is just beautiful to watch. 010
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Excited for tonight’s match. Obviously I mean my netball match at 8.30pm. My team is top of the league, and we’re playing the team sitting in second. 340
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I married this man 21 years ago today. This is the photo that best represents our marriage. 240
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It’s the child’s end of school Valedictory Dinner tonight. She’s been excited for this since year 8, but is doubly thrilled by the idea that she is getting ready at the same time that Taytay is getting ready for her wedding. 000
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Accidentally found myself in the pub for the football. I went to the loo and I ruined it. 000

Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 23/06/2026WHY must they put that odious man on the radio? Turning off Today twenty minutes early. 000
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 12/06/2026We don’t usually see each other’s headers. Here’s mine. Quote post with yours. 010
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Last ever school alarm today. She’s got one exam left after today, but it’s on Monday afternoon. Fourteen years of getting someone to school in the morning: done. 000
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I watched all of Tip Toe in one go last night and I cannot stop thinking about it. 020
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 03/06/2026It’s been literally decades since I had to house train a dog. I’d forgotten the joy of standing in the rain, cheering enthusiastically for a shitting dog. 000
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Climbed a 15ft rope at the gym this morning. Old dog, still learning new tricks 020
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Uni finance form done. Sat and did it with her because she was nervous about getting the details right. 010

Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Last day of school for the child today. Fourteen years of school morning alarms and uniforms and breakfasts - done. 120
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 11/05/2026The child officially finishes school on Wednesday. We spent her last Monday morning running late and searching for a tie - same as it ever was. 020
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 08/05/2026There will be no Friday Dance today. If Wales have voted the way everyone is predicting there is absolutely no cause for joy this morning. 030
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I always get excited about voting, and today is even better because I’m going with the child for her first time. 130
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Alarm set for the morning, but there are only a handful to go. Freelancing means I set my own hours, and once the child has finished school those hours will not start with a 7am alarm. 010
Hayls @hayls.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Let’s do the Friday Dance. Clean and jerk at the gym today, A levels have started and the child is ON IT, and it’s a long weekend.media.tenor.comkermit the frog is dancing on a checkered floor .ALT: kermit the frog is dancing on a checkered floor . 010
