Oh my a very naked and wet Freddie Fox as Loki in #TheSandman was a treat!

Started packing today and now moving out of my gorgeous flat after 4 years is starting to feel very real! ๐Ÿฅน But also excited for the new place!

Also the same feeling watching Ashlie Atkinson as Amanda in #AndJustLikeThat and Mrs Fish in #TheGildedAge. Can these shows stop sharing cast?!

Itโ€™s Jake. I mean Iโ€™ll accept a bit of topless Mike too but Jake would be great. #TheFortuneHotel

I donโ€™t care if they win but can Jake or Mike (the fitter one) take his top off? Thanks! #TheFortuneHotel

Well done Howie for noticing Oscarโ€™s ankle tag, but did you not happen to notice that heโ€™s a FUCKING GIANT?! Technically 6โ€™ 2โ€ but he looks more like 6โ€™ 5โ€! #EastEnders

It is quite jarring watching Cynthia Nixon in both #AndJustLikeThat and #TheGildedAge at the same time!

Gosh with Stockport station closed this month Wilmslow has never been so busy!

I really must try and fit โ€œomnishamblesโ€ into my vocabulary over the coming week. Glorious word! #SewingBee

What a cliffhanger for #TheGildedAge! I canโ€™t wait for the finale next week!

Aldi in Ancoats / Urban Exchange is known as Gay Aldi. Much like Gay Asda at Hulme and Gay Sainsburyโ€™s at Regent Road

Whilst Iโ€™ve loved living in the Village and having the most gorgeous view over the city the past four years I think itโ€™s time for a change. Summit new. So in just three weeks Northern Quarter and Gay Aldi, here I come!

Lovely meal out at the awesome Onda Pasta Bar with the Bestie and the Boy. Nice way to start celebrating our anniversary together ๐Ÿฅฐ

Left work in Birmingham at 5pm. Wonโ€™t be home in Manchester until gone 9:30pm. Thank you Cross Country Trains. Another stellar job! ๐Ÿคฌ

Yeah very much a sudden departure that. And the renting out of the house suggests no plan for return in the short term. Not looking forward to Max personally - hate the character and think itโ€™ll just be a rinse and repeat. Like Jack. One dimensional.

Interesting. Hadnโ€™t thought of some of that. Philโ€™s return to that felt natural ahead of the end of Nigelโ€™s story but Ravi does feel forced and backward. Is Callum preparing for Benโ€™s return? Hopefully not a return to bad days. Oscar is a great addition and glad some driftwood has been cut out.

His first few weeks have been full of legacy. The Albert stage of Philโ€™s story, reintroduction of the Branningโ€™s, Slaters on the up. Which legacy you hoping for development of?

Well as I say itโ€™s a new thing for me so Iโ€™m certainly hoping theyโ€™re not this regular forever and the โ€œclusterโ€ finishes soon

Aww sorry to hear that love. GP has prescribed me some triptan pills whilst waiting for neurology to take the edge off them but theyโ€™re not great. Neurology should hopefully be able to give me the injection/nasal type which are known to help much better and faster

In other news, Oscar Branning is now 25, 6โ€™ 2โ€, cocky and queer! Yay for #EastEnders

Oh nobody I talk to has ever heard of them. All tips well received love. New to me and really getting to me.

I had to really focus to get from the station. Itโ€™s so hard to explain. Couldnโ€™t focus on anything. Really need this neurology referral to come through so I can get proper medication for them. Itโ€™s near daily at the moment ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Had the absolute worst cluster headache so far whilst trying to work on the train home. Took my breath away and made my eyes water. Really struggled. Got home, called boyfriend and burst into tears. Really not coping with these fucking headaches now ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Somebody fire Helen Georgeโ€™s agent! The poor woman canโ€™t even have her head under water and theyโ€™ve got her swimming with bull sharks in the Bahamas! #SharkCelebrityInfestedWaters

Between Rachel Reilly, Helen George and Lucy Punch, this is a very middle class reality show! #SharkCelebrityInfestedWaters
