R to @Theholisticpsyc: I don’t even have words for the visceral, physical response I just had reading this. (I love following you, btw, I’m just gonna need a minute, a cup of tea, and to screenshot it and send it to my therapist 🥹)

R to @Harry_Lyme_212: Sorry they came for you, nasty all that business is. You’d think if they were so keen for me to finish it, they’d leave me alone to get on with it! It’s almost as though the distraction/disruption is the point…..🧐

R to @Harry_Lyme_212: Thanks! It’s a huge amount of work - much much more than I anticipated it would be (partly due to the level of scrutiny it will receive from the usual suspects…) I was working on it last night and it’s looking good 👍 Those griping have no idea what a big job it is!

R to @Harry_Lyme_212: Happy to discuss it with you but not for every little grudge account to pick over publicly here, not while I’m in the middle of it anyway…

R to @markkenny: Ah you never ever sign the movie deal without writing the book first. That way you’re only selling your book rights, not your life rights. (Speaking as someone who has turned down that particular offer, because the idea of handing over my ‘life rights’ to ANYONE is…terrifying…)

R to @SrwiafStevo: While pointing to it, yes, just in case we were unclear which of the ONLY lights in the room was the ‘big’ one ☝️

R to @SoloPRcomms: I mean, it takes the ONS a year and they have all the automated tech, industry experts, years of experience, previous data, tested methodology, and countless staff to do it with. I also needed a full years data captured at regular intervals. You can’t rush time, unfortunately!

R to @agnetha666: The ONS offered to check it all over for me. Think they might be better placed at the whole statistical scrutiny thing than a bunch of Twitter conspiracy theorists.

R to @agnetha666: I’m sorry, I got the tone wrong; it’s been a rough few weeks (or years) on here and I’m a bit extra defensive. I didn’t mean to come across as snippy to you personally (it was more a general snark in the direction of the very tedious lurkers) and I apologise wholeheartedly.

(And bizarrely, a bit in the Grace Grundy vers of I Took A Pill In Ibiza always gets me?!)

R to @DrBlonde1: I can relate - I was similarly v ill myself when I first came across it and used to play it relentlessly on my CD player… Sending the gentlest of fist bumps to you and I’m glad we’re both still here x

R to @DrBlonde1: Thirteen years in ED recovery here - one day at a time 🥰 (Nobody is more surprised than me how I ended up making a living, but I guess as we both know, it’s got sod all to do with the actual food…)

R to @SrwiafStevo: Just do what I did pal and take all the ‘non essential’ light bulbs out. Hallway/stairs/landing, just for passing through. Bathroom? Garden hanging solar lanterns propped on the window ledge. Bedroom? For sleeping in. Gradually cocooning myself in a lil dark nest and I LOVE IT 😝
