Absolutely fine thank you, thanks to the well placed sofa 😂

Helen Prevett @helenprev.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Tripped over my own trousers, stumbled down, and just as I was on my knees holding on to the sofa that caught me, my watch buzzed and with impeccable comic timing said "You have reached your fat burn goal. Congratulations!"

Today's ridiculous earworm while doing my school cleaning: Angel Eyes by Wet Wet Wet. Why? Because I went all around the edges (with the hoover).

Google photos just offered me a slideshow called "The best of May". It turned out to be every photo I took in May, and the five photos towards the end comprising of every shelf of cat litter in B&M, set to inspiring music was the funniest thing I've seen this week.

I recently became a cleaner in our primary school and here begins an occasional series entitled Things I Have Hoovered Up This Week: 1. Two googly eyes. Nowhere near each other. 2. A small but perfectly formed 2d Pacman. Possibly a sticker but it had gone before I could fully check.

And I'm more than happy to share but as I'm public on Bluesky I don't want to stamp on anyone else's privacy. Do we have DMs on here?

I think after several weeks of getting my head around it I'm ready to say here that I'm currently living in my very own version of Long Lost Family. And I really like it.

My youngest child is 21 years old today. I think that might mean I'm officially a proper grown up now.

I attended a burger shop today with a famous name. After I handed a staff member a tissue to wipe his nose, he used it and handed it back to me with my order. Yes, you are correct, it was on the school playground and he is 6.

I was made for 80s dressing up day. Never felt so comfortable in my own skin. 😂

A full length mirror selfie short, wide 52 year old white woman with a buzz cut. She is wearing plastic earrings, a multicoloured stripy knitted jumper, bright orange shorts with black tights under them, neon yellow legwarmers and pink shiny lace up shoes.

My mum's response to the 80s jumper news - I'm pretty sure 1980s acrylic is entirely moth resistant actually 😂

A WhatsApp conversation between me and my mum:
Me: And yes I've checked and it still fits, a bit more snugly than it used to! xxxx
Mum: I thought the moths would have had that years ago! xxxx
Me: No it is completely intact!

And I was so excited to wear it that I personally darned in all the ends!

For Red Nose Day tomorrow at school we can dress in red, neon, or 80s theme. I will wear my genuine 80s multicoloured jumper. My mum knitted it for me in 1988 out of all her oddments. It will be no surprise that I was not a cool 16 year old. It was gigantic on me at the time so it still fits!

A knitted jumper spread out for display on a bed. It has a black neckband and cuffs and the rest of it is a mishmash of many different coloured stripes.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Me: playing a game on my phone while I drink my coffee Fizz: would you like a Minecraft sheep sticker for the back of your phone? Me: Yes please! I can't pause this game but [looks around] you can put it on for me if you can find my phone. I wish I'd been joking but I was totally serious 😂

No, we finally got home at just before 3pm and have been napping mostly since then! All is ok. 111 referred straight to Out of Hours GP yesterday evening and OOH said "Go to A&E", he did need checking out but thankfully it was nothing sinister. 😊

I just randomly remembered that as children my brother and I used to play "I Don't Spy" in which you could choose anything at all as long as you couldn't see it. "Eeeeee we made our own fun in those days...."

In our Majors we have a bay now for seated patients, with six chairs in it and other chairs for one relative each. The group of us were together the entire night and bonded over mutual exhaustion and hilarity.

Sitting interminably in A&E (long story, nothing terrifying) and the lady next to me just asked me if Fizz, dozing across the room in his chair, is my boyfriend. He is 20, and I am 52 - and his mum. 😂

I just woke up from a dream in which someone else had made a morning pot of coffee and when I got to it and poured myself a mug it had loads of ground coffee floating on the top. I was devastated. As a result the bar for a delightful Wednesday morning is very low indeed.

Six year old yesterday at work was telling me how his mum has "75 pence". I joked "she's rich! I wish I had 75 pence!". Child looked me dead in the eye, pointed at me and said "you need a job."
