Off to bed but just thinking about my mate Mark Speight who we lost 13 years ago today, still the funniest person I have ever had the joy of knowing.

Off to bed but not without a glass of red and a little think about my lovely mate Mark Speight, ten years today since we lost him. Sometimes I still laugh so hard at the stuff he used to get up to, so glad to have had such funny times with him.

My smashing mate Speighty, often talked about in our house, mainly recalling his joyous daftness.
In loving memory of Mark Speight (1965-2008) 🕊❤️
15 years ago today we lost a one of a kind individual who was (and still is) an inspiration to us all.
Rest in Peace Mark, gone but never forgotten ❤️🩹

Feeling so sad tonight reading everyone’s tweets of how we hold our keys in our fingers, make fake phone calls, get ready to run in the darkness alone, I’ve done it for as long as I can remember & am heartbroken realising I have normalised it. It’s not ok and it’s not our fault.

Eight year old just asked ‘Mummy what’s the worst thing that could happen to you?!’ ‘Pooing my pants in public’ I confidently replied. ‘Oh’ he said ‘mine would be losing my whole family’. Yet again I nail parenting.

Once, just as I was being given anaesthetic the doctor said ‘I used to love you on tv’ and in my final throes before going completely under I said ‘I’m still on telly occasionally’ but the ‘occasionally’ went all slurred then I was out.

Last night husband and I pretended we were on an aeroplane by sitting on our dining room chairs shunted up really close to the back of the sofa, eating dry roasted peanuts and drinking a can of G&T whilst watching Bridesmaids on the iPad.

Husband: ‘I can’t help with any of the childcare cos I am WORKING FROM HOME’. Also husband: ‘I’m just going for a run for an hour and I need to pop to the hardware shop for some wood for the home bar I’m building’ Is this relatable content??!!
