R to @fran_odriscoll: Don’t have one yet, first flat didn’t work out (damp basement seafront flat + arthritis isn’t a great mix!) so had to go back to square one a couple of weeks ago and the clock is ticking 🥵🥵🥵

R to @Jan__G: It folds down to a 6 seater 😆 but the place I’m hoping to move to has a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom for SB, and small lounge which will be my bedroom-plus-lounge so even I couldn’t find a way to make the table fit!! Going from 10 rooms to 4, is going to be quite the adjustment!

R to @BootstrapCook: (And before the trolls kick off, it’s ground floor, and the kitchen is a great size with doors backing onto a massive garden, so yes there is more than enough space for the dog!! 😆)

R to @BootstrapCook: Laurie doesn’t go upstairs or in the dining room here anyway, so she isn’t actually going to have any less space than she does at the moment 😆

R to @CB0783: I have to say I am really, really enjoying my newfound role as a furniture ‘fixer’ haha. So far sofabed, double bed, freezer, thermal curtains, bbq, bar stools, dining table, pantry cupboard, 2 wardrobes, chests of drawers, dining chairs all gone to people who need them 🥰

R to @BootstrapCook: In return I now have an army of volunteers who will help lift and transport boxes, unpack, have us over for dinner in move time or bring tupperwares of h/m curry, paint/clean, and make what has historically been a ghastly traumatic process into one forged in friendship and fun 🥰

R to @cesca_uk: Need a set of 4 (very very nice) dining chairs by any chance? Because I happen to have some RIGHT HERE 🤣

Went to a little Turkish barber this evening and got my undercut back under control. 12 minutes, £8, no small talk, no hairy cups of tea, and we didn’t even find out each other’s names. It’s taken 20 odd years but I think I have finally found my dream hairdresser 😁

R to @BootstrapCook: (It’s still long on top, I just tucked it behind my ear! Apologies for slightly wary tired look, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster few weeks and I’m still settling back into my skin a bit. Am ok. Haven’t been, but am safe and still sober and recovering from stuff 🥰)

R to @HypnoticJam: I think we exchanged fewer than ten words between us in total. Might marry him 🤣

R to @TheLonnieHunt: I have an ear infection in my left one that’s very painful and scabby (it’s been a few weeks now, it’s horrible!) so unfortunately was denied that particular pleasure, but I could have proffered my middle aged and rather witchy chin I suppose 😆

R to @BootstrapCook: And I 110% appreciated him clocking it was sore, producing a cotton ball out of nowhere, dousing it in Vaseline, and wedging it in my ear to stop any tiny hairs getting into it. All communicated through eyes and nods, but the level of care shown there was extraordinarily lovely🥰

R to @HypnoticJam: They have utterly cornered the market for ‘paying a handsome silent stranger to run a vibrating object around your neck and earlobes for a quarter of an hour’ for sure 🤣 and I even left with a haircut 🤣

R to @HypnoticJam: Must remember my son Googles my Twitter and nix that tweet before 7am tomorrow 🤣

R to @HypnoticJam: I wish mine couldn’t sometimes, although his beady eyes have done more for me mostly maintaining a mild air of professionalism on here than a decade of PRs, publishers, agents, etc could ever manage 🤣

R to @welshmish: Him, needing half a dozen clips to hold my long hair up: ‘So thick!’

Me: ‘Greek genes. Hence… [gestures]… undercut.’

Him: ‘Very beautiful’

Me: […phew!]
