I go on holiday tomorrow and I think work and life have been SO full on lately (to the point where I was still working at 7pm tonight to finish things off) that I’m kinda… feeling indifferent about the holiday. Maybe holiday mode will kick in when I’m at the airport 😂

LOL joke’s on me, I’ve got that much to try to cram in, I need to log back on tomorrow morning to finish it all off.

Cannot wait for 5pm so I can slam my laptop shut for 2 weeks. I think I’m more excited about being away from work for 2 glorious weeks than I am about going on holiday at this point 😂

Where do you all tend to get your gym programming from? Do you have a PT/Coach? Make it up as you go along? I need someone to write me a gym programme I can keep to for a couple of months but I also don’t want to be paying the extortionate prices of a PT either.

I say it’s a Sunday roast. I didn’t buy eggs for the Yorkshire puddings 😭😭😭 A Sunday roast isn’t complete without Yorkies. So it’s basically chicken and veg with a bit of stuffing for dinner. Not a Sunday roast. OH I’M FUMING.

14k steps and I’ve prepped a Sunday roast. I don’t know the meaning of sitting still for a day 😂

Happy Sunday. I have zero plans and I’m going to rot all day, and you know what… I can’t wait.

In the mood to watch something Halloweeny. Not like shit your pants on the sofa Halloweeny, but just spooky enough. Y’get what I mean? Can’t really put that search term into Netflix though.

Richard is chaotic. Ross is massively paranoid. Obsessed with Jerry doing the absolute least in the task with her crowbar 😂 #CelebrityTraitors

I love living where I do, but my god it’s pitiful when you need a 5G connection. I am *struggling*.

Builders have gone through my fibre cable outside. Denied it was them and they’ve not been near it. Openreach came out this morning to temporarily fix it until they can do a full fix. My internet access lasted 26 minutes, to be exact, before it broke again. I give up today.

Ordered a new shirt for holiday from Vinted, still new with tags on. Picked it up yesterday and it’s.. a woman’s black top Reported it in the app and the seller has the audacity to argue with me that it’s not hers, she doesn’t own a top like that, and that I’ve swapped it Can you be arsed? At all?

There’s certain fan bases out there where if you say something even remotely critical about their fav artist, they’ll hunt you down. It’s parasocial. It’s weird. It’s ok to be a fan of someone and criticise them when their music is BAD…

The new Troye Sivan single is one of the worst things I’ve heard, and I listened to the new Miley album today…

There’s nothing more inauthentic than someone offering ‘advice’ online or recommending something they use, only to end their video with ‘and if you use my code clown3000 you’ll get 10% off’.

I haven’t lost any weight in the past 3 weeks and let me tell you, I am *frustrated*. Everything I read suggests upping my calories as cals being too low can stall things, but upping calories also scares me 😂 it’s the healthiest I’ve been in YEARS and eating *more* everyday is mentally difficult.

Big Brother - September 13th Great British Bake Off - September 22nd Celebrity Traitors - September 23rd The ONLY thing that makes this time of year tolerable, it’s that TV is back.

I see there’s a new Twitter competitor (tweet.app) in town. I think from what we’ve seen from the various different Twitter clones over the past few years, none of them are actually going to take off as Twitter did and become the ‘town square’ in the same way.

A ‘non-scale victory’ as the phrase goes: my Adele hoodie from Munich fits me again after losing a bit of weight. It has been sat in my wardrobe for probably over 18 months because it was skin tight.

“I can’t wait for Autumn” “I love Autumn” Ok well can you tell me what tf you wear when it’s raining out but it’s still 25 degrees? Trousers and a jacket and I’ll sweat to death. T-shirt and shorts and I’ll be soaked. You can’t win with this season. Sorry, I HATE IT and it hasn’t even started yet

If I thought it’d earn me over $1 million, you better believe I’d be getting my willy out on the internet like there’s no tomorrow.

Took some proper progress photos this morning for the first time since I started being more consistent in April and omg??? The difference is crazy. I knew my clothes felt like they were starting to fit better but seeing it has put a spring in my step this morning 😂

People on TikTok are another breed, especially the ones who will sell any old shit on TikTok shop. There’s a guy flogging an ‘amazing’ lawn mower, whilst stood on…… his artificial grass. Like???

Finally (!) watched the original Devil Wears Prada tonight and I don’t know why I put it off for SO long. I actually enjoyed it.

Went to the Trafford Centre tonight (yes, I know, self-inflicted punishment), and the trip was made marginally more interesting by about a thousand phones getting the emergency alert at the same time.

Nigel Farage telling lies… SHOCKED. So, when’s that investigation starting back up then??

Old man complaint: Popped into Morrisons this morning for laundry pods. £12 for a box (£11 with a more card). Stormed to B&M as I thought £12 was ridiculous and they were selling the EXACT same thing for £7.49. Like???

Lots of discourse about how disgusting people are, bullying etc. However, I do think it mostly comes from a place of people being genuinely concerned. There’s obviously a subset of people online who are just horrible cunts but mostly I think the ‘scrutiny’ comes from a good (?) place.

Went to book a GP appointment this morning and there was one singular appointment left for 9:15 on Thursday. The next available appointment after that? September 4th. Which seems absolutely WILD. The only time I’ve ever clicked quicker was getting Beyoncé tickets.

£45 *per year*, that is, which I’ve seen many an MP / Journo neglect to mention this morning. He’s only just moved in, I get it, and I’m happy he’s trying to do something. But a saving of £3.75 a month for an average user? You have to wonder what’s worse - doing nothing or this.

Not Sky News doing a report on Hot Podium Guy. I can’t believe he’s broken containment.

Today I learned that an ‘engagement party’ is a thing. Is there anything the TikTok lot won’t have an event for? Why do you need a whole ass party to tell people you got engaged?

I know absolutely nothing about football, but if there’s 2 things I have seemingly learned over the past few weeks from the timeline alone, its that: - everyone loves Jude Bellingham - everyone also seems to think Messi is actually messy and has some sort of unfair hold over FIFA and its referees.

Trying to find a film to watch in a sea of streaming services is so overwhelming. I’m probably just going to doom scroll TikTok for the next 2 hours because it’s easier 😂
