Final game of the season with a playoff spot locked up! My prediction at the start? We'd finish 6th - so we've exceeded even my expectations. Bonus joy: Odie has absolutely loved being part of the ball crew all season. Proud on all fronts! #PlayoffBound​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #OAFC

Last game of the season and what a season it's been! Finished with a spectacular 4-0 win and clean sheet. Incredible to witness them progress from Championship to Premier League, but it's their teamwork and team spirit that's impressed me the most. Proud of every single player #UTN #U11

What a way to end the season! 5-2 win ⚽️🔥 The other team pulled off an incredible bicycle kick (even my goalkeeper son had to admire that one!) but he bounced back with a crucial assist to help seal the victory. Proud mama moment! Celebrated with post-match ice creams 🍦#UTN #U11

Braving the rain with my boy for Oldham vs. York City today. Nothing beats a sold-out stadium, wet terraces, and making memories together. Football at its purest! #OAFC

Back at Boundary Park watching Oldham vs. Hartlepool! Hoping to see a goal as outstanding as Jess's stunner from our New Year's Day clash up there. A win would be the perfect start to the Easter weekend. #Latics #OAFC​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

On #NationalGoalkeeperDay, celebrating my amazing 11-year-old who dives, blocks, and commands the box with heart and courage beyond his years! From muddy gloves to incredible saves, watching you grow between the posts has been the highlight of my weekends. The bravest player on the field wears #1!

Albert executed a perfect roll off his dog bed but refused to let it interrupt his nap. Now he's sprawled on the hardwood with zero concerns about modesty, sunbathing where the sun don't shine. #DogLife #NoShameNap

Just saw this Wealdstone Raider action figure and almost spit out my drink! "YOU WANT SOME? YOU'VE GOT NO FANS!" Complete with miniature pint and team scarf. Brilliant packaging that captures the iconic internet legend perfectly. Take my money! 😂 #WealdstoneRaider #GotNoFans​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Just savoring this perfect chip muffin with my tea, watching my little goalkeeper dive across the pitch like he's auditioning for the Premier League. Heart and hands full. ☕🧁⚽ #ProudParent #GoalkeeperMom​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Come on the boys in blue 🟠🔵🦉 win tonight and that's got to secure us a place in the play offs

Supply chain update:
Huel delivery ✅
Husband moving box inside ✅ Albert the bulldog QA testing cherry raspberry flavor with his teeth 🦷
Current status: One punctured can, kitchen looking like a crime scene, and one very sticky, very pleased bulldog who definitely doesn't regret his life choices.

Tell me your son went to London without telling me!

Everyday is a school day: Just found out I've been singing a classic Jam song completely wrong for years. "Telephone madness" sounds way more fun than the actual lyrics! 🎵🤦‍♀️ #MisheardLyrics #EverydayIsASchoolDay

The last Pigeon standing on the window sill of my hotel room this morning

Pretty sure my London hotel window sill is running an exclusive pigeon nightclub. These birds have more networking skills than most LinkedIn influencers - and ZERO respect for quiet hours. Soundtrack of my trip: endless cooing and what I can only describe as avian stand-up comedy. 🐦🇬🇧

Rolling to London with the holy trinity of train entertainment: @GNev's The Overlap, a Huel (cheers for the discount, mate!), and a cheeky bag of Haribo Tangfastics. Proving you're never too old for some sugar-coated nostalgia and football banter! 🚂🍬⚽️ #TrainLife #SnackAttack

Just got to Boundary Park for the #FlatcapClassico! Oldham Athletic vs Halifax Town. The atmosphere's electric - COME ON YOU BLUES! We need these 3 points today! #Latics #OAFC 💙⚽️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The sun is shining, homemade pancakes for breakfast can only mean one thing... DERBY DAY! Oldham Athletic vs Rochdale FC - BRING IT ON! Come on the boys in blue! #OAFC #DerbyDay ☀️🥞⚽️💙​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Just off the train from London and heading straight to Boundary Park! Come on the boys in blue - 3 points a must today! #COYB 💙⚽​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #OAFC

Just experienced the BEST train announcement: 'Good morning all you lovely little cupcakes traveling to London this morning' on the 7am @AvantiWestCoast from Manchester. Made my whole day! Whoever that announcer was - you're bringing joy to morning commutes! 👏🧁 #TrainJoy #MorningWin

Oh my it’s been a long week

Come on Oldham Athletic! Big game away at Yarmouth today—need a win! Can’t believe the sun’s out, perfect away day weather, just couldn’t make the trip this time. Let’s get it done, boys in blue! #OAFC #AwayDays

Just found out my 7am train is cancelled. Perfect start to a long week away from home on a work course... Anyone else's Monday going better than mine? 🙄 #MondayMood #TrainProblems​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Come on the boys in blue 🔵🟠 #OAFC

Freezing but sunny start to the day. Early kick off for the goalkeeper today hoping for a win and a clean sheet U11 #UTN​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After putting off getting varifocals this summer (hello, aging! 👋), finally visited @Specsavers Oldham today. Big thanks to Nick who helped me pick out not one but two new pairs! 🤓 #NewGlasses

Micky Mellon red card WTF #OAFC

😀 yes its character building fir him!!

2 years ago Odie watched his first Oldham Athletic match. Today we're season ticket holders, following the Latics home & away, and he's proudly part of the ball crew. Off to Boundary Park tonight vs Maidenhead - football creates the best mother-son memories 💙⚽️ #Latics #OAFC

When my favourite boy has fallen out with me for being at the office all day but then barks his annoyance - after not barking for 4 weeks I couldn’t be happier. Alberts got his bark back 🐶

Come on Oldham #OAFC
