Yes, it stands for psycho bitch from hell. And was a stupid nickname when I was 17. When I joined AOL I needed an 8 letter username I had pbfh so needed another 4 letters, and picked punk. That was 30 years ago.

Overheard a guy ask his partner for tissues, she didn't have any. This was my time to shine (due to a drunken fall causing a broken nose when I was 18, I always have tissues on me). I whipped out my pack of Kleenex and offered him one, he was grateful. This must be what doctors on planes feel like.

Yesterday was the one year anniversary of being on my new job (actually a year may be too long to be considered new). It's gone so quickly, and hasn't been smooth for various reasons that aren't anyone's fault, but I'm glad I left the safety of my previous role of 8 years and took a chance!

The best possible news in the run up to Xmas. It has taken more than a year's campaigning, but we are really THRILLED that Wes Streeting, Stephen Kinnock and our partners at NHSE have announced this very substantial package of financial support to the charitable hospice sector

I'm at my folks, going through my mum's clothes, and my dad has picked something up and said "these are mine or someone else's" everything will fit into one of those categories. So he could be looking at anything from a nail file to the Declaration of Independence.

The Women's Aid ads I keep seeing on TikTok are really powerful. Always make me stop scrolling, watch them and share.

I think we should normalise doing countdowns from 5 not 10, it gets really awkward around 7 and becomes apparent that it was too much time to give to a mundane surprise/reveal.

A collage of two images, on the right a man hands a woman a small gift wrapped box, on the left two young children are playing with a toy, but a plushies xenomorph has been photoshopped to replace the original toy. The children's hands are poised as if they're tapping something like an iPad or similar.

I love Photoshop on Amazon, I'm willing to bet quite a lot of money that these children aren't playing with a xenomorph plushie.

Great day yesterday at #ukcharitycamp it was a little overwhelming to be in such a big group of (mostly) strangers and I had to take time out at lunch, but so glad I went and there were some really interesting sessions.

Really looking forward to #ukcharitycamp tomorrow, can't remember when I last went to a face 2 face event for digital people, maybe an #nfptweetup or #IWITOT

Went to see Wicked last night, it's a good job that the deadline for Spotify Wrapped has already passed. Because after today, my most listened songs would be skewed.

We really want to do this in our small garden, but unfortunately one of our cats chases frogs, she doesn't kill them, but brings them into the house and that must stress them out!

The other week I was explaining to my 14yo stepson how the internet has changed so much, so much UGC is sponsored, a bot or paid reviews, and therefore he rarely gets a genuine honest reviews or opinions of things. And how blogs used to be every day musings and now majority are influencers.

Yes, I joined MNDA the following April and it was mentioned at every event I went too, no matter the subject! I left there at the end of last year it's strange to hear it again!

I was also explaining Charity: Water to my husband last night and the 100% of funds goes to the cause line, it's like I'm in 2015!

In an events webinar and the Ice Bucket Challenge has been mentioned, and it's the first time I've heard it referenced in a couple of years.

This year we're having a stripped back Christmas, I'm seeing my dad in the morning, but then it's just the two of us for the day. We're getting a smaller simpler tree and having a roast. Hopefully stopping unnecessary spending and waste, no pressure, no timetable, just a chill day together.
