Amanda Rutter

Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, from both friends and strangers, we almost have enough for a deposit, but we will be asked for rent upfront as well. My fella and I will be able to find some of this through selling some bits, but every little helps - I appreciate you all.

I'm honestly finding it hard to hold back tears with how amazing you're all being. Thank you all so, so much.

It's been a morning of phonecalls and knock-backs so far, but we persist.

I barely slept a wink last night worrying about what me and the fella will do when 13th October comes and we haven't managed to find anywhere. I won't give up my dogs 😭 Please, if you can help with a donation or a share, I would be so grateful ❤️

I am so grateful and humbled by your generosity. Thank you to everyone who has shared and donated so far. Would appreciate anything more you can give.

You are an amazing human being, thank you x

@alasdairstuart.com Would you please amplify, my friend?

Honestly, I'm so very grateful, thank you so much x

If you're not able to donate, please, please share.

I feel ashamed of myself for even posting this and asking, but I need the help to take some of the stress and pressure away - me and my husband, and our three beautiful dogs, are hoping that you can help raise emergency funds to try and find a new house.

Just been served a Section 21 on the house we've lived in for six years. If me and the fella can't find somewhere that will allow us to rent with three dogs, we'll be homeless come 13th October.

Been for a deep tissue massage and my back sounded like she was breaking dry tree branches 😆

Give the hugest happy birthday celebrations to this brill man!

Congratulations!!! Enjoy your time as an expanded family ❤️

For education, for environment, for the arts, for animal protection, for... so many other things, to make life interesting and fulfilled and easy.

Imagine if every company was limited to 100 million profit and every individual 10 million income, and every other bit of wealth went back into society - for health, infrastructure, housing, UBI...

If yours is hardback with the green font for the title, then you have the US version, my friend 😊 We have taken the rights to publish in the UK now, and we're releasing the TPB later this year! (I hope you enjoy!)

Am I disappointed that we only needed a six to win the series? Am I astonished that Woakes played Test cricket with one arm in a sling? Am I secretly blaming Zak Crawley for being out with the very last ball on Saturday? Yes!

But do I think a 2-2 drawn Test series was the best result? Absolutely.

I have had more panic attacks this year than in my whole life before.

Since we're talking about 2026 releases... 👀🪓🐑

I'm so pleased 😁

The "men are lonely" or the "men can't find wimmins" thing - I remember the one single man who decided to come along to a taster ballroom and Latin American lesson, and he was *mobbed* by the women who wanted a proper man partner instead of having to learn men's steps and partnering another girl.

Disappointing Lions Test, followed by disappointing England performance at the final Test at the Oval 🙄

Floating stick!

My mate Jason, author of the BRILLIANT Last Days of Jack Sparks, is tussling with the big c at the moment and has set up a gofundme. If you have a spare couple of quid I would really like many more years of telling him he's wrong about music.

Fully agree. Disappointing end to what could have been a ferocious Test series. If we'd had the fight to combat the Aussies today, we could have been talking about one of the all-time classic matches.

We questioned why the youngsters weren't put on, to give them real experience and allow them to fight. Why take them all that way for a few minutes here and there in nothing matches? Give them their Test cap and see what they can do, with some steady heads on the bench just in case.

And then big desire to use one of them on this pattern!

This is where my extreme depression comes from. I am having to work longer hours and have less free time, for those "light moments", just so arsehole shareholders and CEO can rape us for more and more money. What's the point anymore? Why bother? There is a point where life is just too hard.

With all due respect, I am working seven days a week, fifteen hour days in order to clear debts and ensure that I have enough money to cover bills which are endlessly going up for what seems like funsies to the companies charging these extra £4 or £5 per month. So there is very little delight.
