In the office for a second day in a row - the first time since early 2020 🤯
Bring back my slippers and loungewear pronto 👵😅
(People having a meltdown at the colour of my tea in 3, 2, 1...) 🤣
Saturday nights are for drinking weird coloured cocktails and telling your mum friends how Vanillier is going to win the Grand National 😂 (they have zero interest btw 🙃)
One fucking winner 🤢 I do indeed know nothing about racing at this time of year 😅
But I shall try & forget by a night out in Portsmouth with the racing wife

🥂💃
People saying there's 'no winners' in this 🙄 There is a bloody winner, and that's the woman who stood up to put a stop to this out of date shit that seems to have been going on for an age. A win for women in a male dominated sport. 👏🏼
BREAKING: Robbie Dunne has been found in breach of all four charges of conduct prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct and good reputation of racing, including bullying and harassing Bryony Frost, by the disciplinary panel
Day 2 at Cheltenham:
1.30 Ballyburn
2.10 Fact to File
3.30 El Fabiolo
4.10 Delta Work
They're literally all short but 💁🏼♀️
I'm off to get drunk in Cheltenham 😅
TWO YEARS to the day... Since I threw on a pair trainers & went for a run to escape lockdown. I could barely run for a bus. Nearly 2 stone gone & it's never returning. 10k event on Sunday 👊🏼 I whinge about running sometimes, but never when I've finished. Mind & Body 🙌🏼
Here are my observations whilst being at
#cheltenham
races today:
1) younger guys need to buy socks
2) younger women need to stop with the lip fillers and Botox in general
3) you need more that 2 people serving in the 1 bar
4) there is definitely an obesity crisis
#thatsall
I'm really struggling with people's strong opinions on masks. If people want to wear them after 19th July then that's fine, if they don't then that's fine too... it's not that difficult to comprehend, is it?! 🤷🏼♀️
Off to
@NewburyRacing
today - teach my daughter the mad concept of handing your hard earned cash to some stranger, in the hope you see more of it after seeing some horses run 😅
It's day 424 on the working from home front. I still wear joggers, don't bother with a bra, take the dogs out at lunchtime for a long walk and eat bacon sandwiches at least twice a week. I'm struggling to see what the negatives are to be honest 💁🏼♀️
Just imagine how Bryony Frost is feeling right now... imagine.
People can absolutely say there's 2 sides to a story, but I can't help but feel for her.
Well, this took off! 😂 I have nothing to promote. Just an everyday person, living an everyday life!
Oh, and as my 87yo Nan says 'if you dont have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'! 😉
Today's racing picks for me:
NAP
255 Haydock
Sea La Rosa 🌊
NB
315 Beverley
Chateau 🏰
E/W
330 Haydock
Pogo🕴
Good luck all 🤞🏼🍀
(P.s I was sensible last night - miracles do happen 😉)
I'm no Trump fan but what he's done with North Korea right now needs to be applauded. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next few years

Whenever I watch the darts it always reminds me of the time my mum used to play for a local pub team. It got to 1130pm and my dad was worried so he had to drive to find her (pre-mobile phones & no answer on the pub phone). Turned out they were all stuck on double 1 😂
The long awaited 10k is done ✅️
Last ran that distance in May but my left knee held out (you know, since the 'incident') and the best bit was the end 😅
1 hour 4 mins - I'm not making an Olympics, but it's good to be back out (kind of 😂)
If watching the funeral on the TV right now doesn't make you even a little bit patriotic, then I don't think I can help you.
Always proud to be British 🇬🇧

I've got a day off today, so I've come to my childhood holiday destination of Weston-super-Mare to spend a million pounds on penny slot machines & to eat this 😁
Day 24 - Pink Champagne (it is Xmas after all). Alcohol advent 2021 = completed, finally! 😅Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas 🎄 Hope Santa brings you everything you want! ❤
Some more great racing today, including the Welsh Grand National.
I've gone for an each way play on The Two Amigos at 33/1. He likes Chepstow & is 15lb lower than his 2nd in this last year.
Good luck to whoever you're on 🏇🤞🏼🍀
You can always rely on your best friend for a card that makes you laugh 😂
I'm clinging on to the last of my 30s harder than anyone I know 😅
Off to live my best life today, by watching racing on TV & coughing up my other lung 🤦🏼♀️🫠
There's going to be a considerable delay here, I fear. The horses will be getting stressed in that parade ring for a longer time than necessary. So much for animal welfare. You can't fix stupid.

#GrandNational
People say racing is all about Punchestown and the Guineas this weekend, but we all know the Hunter Chase evening at Cheltenham later is the place to be 😉
I've had some really nice messages from people here today. For anyone worrying about me being offended, it's water off a ducks back (hence my tongue in cheek tweet).
My life is way too short to worry about the opinion of people I've never met. Yours is too 🙂
The number of times 'On The Blindside' has run (before today): 26
Number of bets I've had on him: 26
Did I do him today at 50s?! Of course I didn't 🤦🏼♀️
Why do we do this?! 😆
