I like to think I'm normal but can be opinionated. Centre leftyish and love squirrels! I also had an unhealthy addiction to my job! Norwich, UK lass. Not open to flirty PMs.

Do all those that count the votes have another person watching them? I saw a count happening yesterday and each person was monitored but wandered if this happened everywhere?

I went to our local polling station yesterday and there was a sign that said No Dogs! I'm a rebel so I picked up my companion (luckily a chihuahua) and in I went. He was welcomed by all and was very well behaved. Votes complete. No party representatives at the station - very disappointed.

I've been a sailor for two weeks.... passed through a regatta off the Isle of Wight yesterday. Sheer panic on the inside but calm on the exterior. No shouting from the other boats so I'll take that as a win 🤣

I'm going to say this - Rachel Reeves is a lady of a certain age under a lot of pressure. It was inevitable that crying would happen. It becomes uncontrollable at times. The media is bang out of order making more of it than it was. #menopausalwomen

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

I am currently a dog carer for Petstay Norfolk and love every minute of it. I do it with my family so when I'm out at work there's one or two of us at home with our doggy guest. Tomorrow our current guest goes home after 19 days. We are all a bit sad. #kingcharlescavalier

I think the word used was ‘bastard’, not ‘based’. The criticism was for the fact that BREXIT has ruined us for a generation because people believed fuckwits like him, Johnson, Gove, Tice & Truss. Liars all. C**ts all. Only fit to be used as spittoons.

Good. Draw a line. And then advance from there. - Overhaul Ofsted. Make it do its job or replace it - Rebalance the BBC and replace the most obvious Tory political figures/editorial appointments - Start strengthening public institutions that can help cut through disinformation Fight damn it.

So it's been a bit of a week. Totally off diet and too much alcohol. Family stresses and too much emotional imbalance doesn't lead to a good ending for the week. Do not feel rested after what should have been a relaxing week away from work. Need to regroup for the coming week 😁. Wish us luck.
