R to @ArielAnderssen: Disappointed you’re choosing to continue this. The photo isn’t filtered. Makeup, lighting, portrait mode, but zoom in + literally SEE my pores, zits, crows feet, eye bags… I’ll hold my hands up and apologise pretty swiftly when I mess up, but I refuse to be lied about for clout.

R to @naughtymediauk: Both photos were taken in portrait mode, so it’s a fair side by side comparison, and I stand by it. If you read the original thread, A was saying it was more than portrait mode. Which it wasn’t. And still isn’t. Lord I don’t have TIME to obsess over pores, nor the inclination.

RT by @BootstrapCook: So let me just get this straight...the alert thing that happened yesterday (that huge waste of time and money) was created by a company called Infosys. Infosys being the company run by Rishi Sunak's father-in-law.

do me, we need an election.

I don’t know if this is a genius hack or absolute ADHD nonsense but last night I squeezed my primer, liquid highlighter, tinted moisturiser, bit of bronzer + bit of foundation into a glass jar + stirred… makeup routine now takes seconds + only have to carry one thing around. 😎

In a very small dark place today and can’t seem to shift it, so have had two friends round for coffee, a third one coming over shortly, been to the park for a 12 step meeting, and another one scheduled in for tonight. Spending the time in between spooning with a very big Goldendoodle on the couch. Mental health crashes are serious s, and I’m very lucky to be surrounded by very good people who know fine well when I’m falling and will insistently step in to sit in the hole with me. I’m not okay, but I will be okay. 💕

R to @BootstrapCook: And the apex of this is that I don’t feel safe in my home right now. I haven’t done since a bunch of trolls and stalkers posted my home address online, and one of them fing WROTE TO IT. I’m not sleeping, I can’t relax, I’m spending my nights awake and terrified and alone and waiting for terrible things to happen. And the cumulative impact of that, after ten years of this, is incredibly serious. I’m begging you bastards to please leave me alone. This might be a game to you but it’s one with a very high price for my loved ones to pay if you insist on winning it.

R to @WestminsterWAG: I have. And they are. But it’s a long, exhausting process and these people are wily and vile. This too shall pass - only, more like a kidney stone than a cloudy sky… 🤪

R to @Tintenfische1: She does stand on her hind legs and put her paws on the shoulders of any intruders. And then snogs their ears, usually. Useless fluffy lump 🐕

SB, walking into the kitchen: Oh this looks busy, what you doing?

Me: Making a quiche for the King, no big deal

SB: Cool. What’s for dinner?

Me: One of these nine quiches, probably

WHAT A LIFE WE HAVE.

R to @BootstrapCook: SB: I don’t think I like quiche

Me: that’s ok, before today I’d never even bloody made one. Here, try this.

SB, through mouthful of quiche: Okay, I actually really like this one, it’s REALLY tasty

Me: my work here is done. 😎

R to @realteaplease: I’m rather happy with how they turned out, having never made quiche before today! Kudos to the Royal chef, Mark Flanagan, for the original!
