Hope you can have a grandad cuddle really soon!

I said this to my mum when she was phoning my brother just the other day! (Well not quite like that, I actually said who d’you think you are an apprentice contestant? And she just goes, Yeah💅🏻)

Is it just me or is Bram a little bit hot?

Even my mum is not impressed

Yes! Then I walked round the town centre with two silver balls bobbing on springs on my head ffs

I bought Cmon Eileen there when I was 9. Same day I got some deeley boppers (from Etams I think!).

Not sure which is worse, that or the violin

That is fantastic!

Great telly though!

Thanks! Also want to do Eltham Palace some time, so much to see and do, I always love a little trip!

These are all great ideas! I was thinking of checking out Kenwood House, Highgate and Hampstead Heath next time we’re down, do you know there at all?

Oh my days, the cuteness!

Just told my partner his day ticket for £7.50 covers unlimited travel on the bus, metro and ferry. He said ‘To Amsterdam?’ I replied, ‘No, Shields’

Sometimes I have to remind myself that there are some things I just don’t need to have an opinion on.

Yes, thank you! Just sorting me mum out, but all good!

Passing the time in the hospital waiting room (all ok now!) reading out Kitty quotes to my mum. We loved her.

Sunderland for the Prem and Boro for the Championship!

This is why it is very good to treat yourself to something you love and that is worth it!

So sorry to hear this xx

I hope that whiskey is lush! I had a negroni at cocktail hour earlier! xxx

Happy birthday! Hope you’ve had a lovely day 🎂🎁x

My fella has just said ‘I fancied one of them.’ Totally her.

My niece is having a 00s themed party for her 18th, as if 00s are retro and not like, yesterday.

So cosmopolitan!

Thanks George! It’ll be my 10th run next year so my fam have said they want to do it too (they bloody better!), I’m looking forward to raising a good total for the big new project! Take care x

I’ve just caught up on the coverage. You came across so well, brilliant that you were so open, you should be proud! In spite of loss and sadness, we overcome because of everyone around us taking part, those cheering us on and the people behind the scenes. It really is the best day.

I can only bow down to your organisational skills!

That’s my 9th great north run in the bag. Not sure when I’ll be able to stand up again!

Oh I’m so sorry! I’m sure he was worth his weight in purrs xx
