R to @princessnixx: Stickers are still on there, so yes, course I did. Exactly the way my mother taught me, as it happens. Goodnight.

R to @HelenRi56485811: Apologies. I couldn’t see the other persons tweet and jumped to a hasty conclusion. It’s been a long couple of weeks, I just want it all to stop now. I’ll delete my tweet.

R to @BootstrapCook: (I am aware of how Incredibly On Brand this is, and I don’t care. The whole song is an absolute banger.)

RT by @BootstrapCook: This is quite remarkable. After winter storms in January last year, we found the remains of an old teddy bear washed up. When we shared a picture online, Anglican priest @CassWoollibold asked if she could restore him.

A thread.

Having a particularly crummy, agonising arthritis flare at the moment, so please give me some time and space to get through it. As tempting as it is for some to ride roughshod all over a person who is vulnerable and in pain, please for the love of god just let me get well. Thanks

R to @Buddha_aka_me: Yep. And the stress of the last few weeks relentless attacks, plus wildly fluctuating weather, definitely means this bout isn’t a surprise…

R to @princessnixx: I did ask them not to be specific in reporting! (And was quite clearly not okay.)

Just in from a meeting (when in physical/emotional pain I really can’t afford to skip them!) Can highly recommend a teaspoon of the cheapest clear honey, stirred into the cheapest hot chocolate, to make something so much greater than the sum of its component parts. Goodnight ☺️

R to @KarlBlendell: Always. Try to do about 10 a week at the moment, which probably seems a lot but seems to be my sweet spot for staying on track and sometimes even serene with it 😊

R to @ChrissieClarky: Being held up, more like, sometimes literally (having to swallow some pride and be helped in and out of cars and accept lifts etc. don’t like it, but needs must!)

R to @Mr_S_David: It makes me feel all warm and comforted, so I guess it does help me sleep! The (small amount of) sugar might throw some people off but it’s never really affected me like that, so just be aware if you’re sensitive to sugar spikes it might not be as useful 💕

R to @Mr_S_David: The honey and warm liquid will help soothe your throat though, which might help ease the cough a little x
