I can barely believe we're at Red Dwarf level tech now.

Dead Grandma could get a gig as a backing dancer for ABBA Voyage.

My twinkly little Christmas tree in front of my chest of drawers and next to my guitar. There is a sticky-out map of the Lake District on the wall.

Am ignoring the posts about tree pic fatigue, as I checked my photos and the last time it was up was 9 years ago!

I'm counting it as a huge win for executive functioning now that I am developing strategies to help with my ADHD that, thanks to my diagnosis over the summer, I now know I have.

That is a fabulous picture.

Holy hell, I have a LOT of decorations. They keep on coming!

On the plus side, if I ever win an Omaze Lake District house then I'm good for the festive season.

Sorting through all my boxes of Christmas decorations and detritus and have come across loads of old Christmas cards.

So many of my loved ones have died now that I've decided to keep a card from each of them to put up every year, so their good wishes can still be part of Christmas.

Pretty fabulous jumper there! 12/10

A massive pile of boxes of Christmas decorations in my living room next to a small, perplexed-looking fluffy white dog.

Operation Harrowing Loft Peril successful!

Reconnaissance mission for Operation Ruthless Purge indicated a promising outlook of loft completion within 6 months with a concentrated effort! 😆

Christmas decorations locked and loaded. Tree time can commence.

Enjoying the roasting that Pantone is getting for this from all of the progressive, colourful people and companies I follow on Instagram.

Oh god, please don't take away YouTube! I boycott the TV licence (refuse to support BBC current affairs) so can't watch anything live and don't have broadband (only mobile data) so no streaming services either. YouTube and DVDs are all I have!

This.

Because honestly, what other course of action do we have a available to us? I hope more of us are voting with our pennies now.

Co Durham folks, this one's for you. ⏬

Four women looking through the middle of freshly made Christmas wreaths.

Fab wreath-making workshop with friends at Katie's Craft House in Whitley Bay tonight. They take a lot longer than you think to make! Great happy and relaxed vibes. 😊

Less nude, more flayed.

Good stuff!

All good - looking forward to a wreath making workshop tonight with a mate and some time off over Christmas to snuggle with the dog. Hope you are having a good December too Cathy. 🌲🌟🎁

It's just terrible design from Ford rather than a crash or anything Cathy, and I kind of needed a new phone anyway and luckily managed to save 8 out of 9 years of pictures (big phew!) so it could have been much worse.

New phone meant I finally had enough memory to cancel Spotify and transfer playlists to Tidal.

I'm now boycotting so many mainstream companies and things owing to ethics, it feels quite joyless and isolating so here's my final Wrapped. Spotify are evil, but Wrapped is a tiny joy I will miss.

It's been quite a week! 😆 Hooboy! (Must say that pics 1 and 2 were pulled off a Google image search, being that my camera was pic 3.)

😂

Skeeting from a shiny new handset now. Really not the best time of year for unexpected expenditure.

Also, transferring accounts and apps to a new phone is a horrible nightmare on android when you can't just open your old one to verify everything. It's taken about six hours.

Take heed good people.

My mangled, smashed up bendy phone.

As I found out this morning when I felt the unpleasant crunch.

Smashed up phone in nook of door.

You see, when you're driving an unfamiliar massive hire vehicle, you're thinking about a lot of things in quick succession, and noticing that closing the door will lead to the edge of the dashboard utterly mangling your phone, is not necessarily top of the agenda.

Interior plastic door moulding of a Ford Transit with a handy nook with a tiny graphic sticker in it depicting a mobile phone with a red circle and line through it.

THIS IS A PSA FOR ANYONE LIKELY TO BE IN A FORD TRANSIT ANY TIME SOON.

See this handy moulded mobile phone sized pocket in the door?

You may think the tiny sticker may be reminding you not to use your mobile when driving.

You would be wrong.

Recently watched a video about the wildly complex chord progression in this song and even though I have the original vinyl single and can sing every word, I never noticed James Bond in the prechorus.

For anyone who loves music, this is rich nectar.

After today's Wes Streeting debacle I was going to write an angry and personal response about the chaotic, debilitating and very real carnage that has been my experience of life up until my ADHD diagnosis this year, but actually this makes my point for me.

Sorry, sai-ne-ne-kai-ne-dody-chody. Rookie error! 😂

I'm going to have a really stressful day tomorrow and can see me vocal stimming sai-ne-ne-kody-dody-chody and giggling all day long.

That's the spirit! Refusing to go down without an epic fight.

I'm like 'well I threw myself down the stairs at high school because I hadn't done my homework for the hundredth time and couldn't understand why, got chucked out of uni (and then reinstated), didn't complete any of the 4 postgrads I started, & generally failed to launch in life, but you go off Wes'

I love the word moony. It's logical but unexpected. Like the word coolth, as in 'he shivered in the glittering coolth of the moony winter evening.'
