I'm an adult buying adult things with my adult money

I'd quite like to see one of these high profile figures give a swift middle finger to the select committee and not turn up, just for the drama of them being in contempt.

*singing to myself*

You don't know the life of a local government secretary babe, and you're never gonna wanna

Fantastic obstetrics consultant appointment today.

Me: I want a c-section
Consultant: ok, let's book it in

It's THAT SIMPLE. I don't need any politician of any party telling me the best or right way to bring the baby I AM GROWING IN MY BODY into the world.

The Isle of Man's assisted dying law offers a compassionate choice for terminally ill people, has huge public support, and was passed through a full democratic process. It's outrageous to block it at the 11th hour.

Arthur had bronchiolitis last year and I got the RSV vaccine when I was pregnant so I choose to believe getting the vaccine prevented a hospital admission.

I actually do trust Keir Starmer, as far as you can trust someone you don't really know in real life.

No real reason to believe he isn't telling the truth about what he didn't know. He's always seemed like a good guy to me.

Might be an unpopular opinion 🤷‍♀️

*small voice* I actually think trying ideas for bringing down the costs of essential food items is a good thing

I seem to have written a 68k word novel. A story that has lived in my head for years. Romance-y/"women's fiction". It'll probably never see the light of day, but it has been so cathartic writing it down.

Whereas Jolene is beyond compare on the issue

Made gluten free focaccia for the first time today. Lil crispy on top, but not too shabby considering flour-based baked products are a pain to make gluten free.

yet I think 'False God' is an excellent Taylor song about sex. I do kinda agree about Wood.

yes, I'm the first person ever to be pregnant and I'm going to moan about it when it gets a bit annoying

going to the pub tonight 👍
remember I'm pregnant 👎

THEY GOT RID OF TAMA SQUID ARE YOU KIDDING ME

I'm just a girl. Laying in bed. Thinking about wagamama's tama squid.

after my c-section, dihydrocodeine didn't even touch the sides of the pain but the ibuprofen???? that was incredible.

lots of things to moan about RE pregnancy but one of my biggest gripes is that I can't have ibuprofen which is, FACTUALLY, the best over the counter pain relief.

I'm already gluten free with pernicious anemia and miserable, I'll eat veggie meals sometimes but I think being vegan would kill the joy I have left

I've always wanted to be doubly sleep deprived 😅

drives me craaaayzee

We broke the news to Arthur that in 6 short months he will be a big brother 🥰👶

...which gives us 6 months to work out how to tell him he has to share all his toys, and eventually, his bedroom!

@yewisloung.bsky.social

SOOOO shit. And as soon as one appeared, they all started doing it.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm overreacting.

A new gluten free cafe has opened nearby and they used one of those awful AI-but-vintage-looking posters on their social media that everyone seems to be using to promote their eatery, and EUGH.

I cannot stress enough the strength of negativity I feel towards your business/event/product if you use generative AI.

thought this was the HoP at first

tempting, but finishing work when it's still light makes all the difference in the winter

Just as I replied to you 🥳

I forgot to refill it but requested it late Thursday and it's Wednesday and still hasn't been approved, and the pharmacy never has it in stock so it's gonna take 3 days from approval, and I've only got 3 left, so it feels a lot like a 'fun' gamble.
