💙 - My medical knowledge came from uni, not an armchair. Feisty, stubborn & not afraid to challenge. And I like chickens 🐓
My parents come for tea every Thursday.
I’ve just found a £20 note in the fruit bowl with a little note saying ‘we know you can’t really afford to feed us, so this is so we can come next week too’ 😭😭😭
A short, boring but important story.
My daughter (20) works in a coffee shop.
There is a lady who comes in.
She has early onset dementia.
She told my daughter she has no family and gets really lonely.
They spend ages chatting.
She’s certainly no hero but when people ask her what she does she says ‘I just work in a coffee shop’
Nobody ‘just’ works anywhere.
There are people who do jobs that other people look down on.
People who think these kind of jobs aren’t ‘valuable’
This post isn’t to big her up.
It’s to drive home the fact that often the lowest paid workers make the biggest difference.
It’s to make people realise that everyone can do a small thing that will make a huge difference to someone.
7.1% of people in Great Britain experience chronic loneliness.
We could all do our bit to help with that.
I’m proud of my girl who ‘just’ works in a coffee shop 🤍
Well I beg to differ.
A little kindness goes a long way and can make a MASSIVE difference to peoples lives.
I know my daughter has made a huge difference to this lady, who now says she has a friend.
Daughter is leaving her job soon, so gave the lady her phone number.
Every day since doing so, they’ve spoken and sent numerous texts.
Daughter checks in on her every single day, making sure she’s okay, that she has eaten and giving her someone to talk to if she wants to.
Nice that Catherine, Princess of Wales is spending 10-14 days in hospital, post op.
I was slung out the day after surgery & went home with someone elses tablets and a nice load of covid.
I’m just a mere peasant though
Here’s a reminder of my hospital tea. Bet Kates is better…
Saddo post
Because I’m a fatty (meds/health) I started slimming world 3 weeks ago.
I put off going for a long time because I kept seeing fat shaming tweets & was embarrassed.
It was easier to hide away
Last night I was slimmer of the week & also slimmer of the month too 💪🏻
So many lovely replies to this; thank you for your kind words 🤍
For anyone who is interested in becoming a dementia friend and helping to make a difference

2909 people have died in the last 7 days & everyone’s getting their knickers in a knot about a family Christmas.
There will be lots of tables with empty chairs this year, where families have lost loved ones.
Their Christmas won’t ever be the same again
How about some perspective?
Fk me, what did Kate Garraway ever do to some of you people?
Her husband died.
Grief affects people in many different ways.
We’re constantly encouraging people to talk, yet some of the comments on this app.
Jeez…
Durdle Door, Clapham Common, Peckham.
Congratulations folks.
You’ve just massively shit on the NHS, who were hoping to return to some kind of normal service and help those with health problems that have had their treatments delayed.
You utterly selfish pricks.
@SueASmith571
A few days before my Nan had a stroke (several years ago) she gave my brother a fiver and he put it in his inside coat pocket. She died a few weeks later. He still has the fiver in his pocket and that always makes me smile. It definitely is the small things that get me too!
In honour of Paul O’Grady, why can’t we all just post photos of dogs today, and remember how much he loved animals.
I’d much rather see pictures of dogs than peoples baseless theories about how and why he died
🐶 🐩 🐕
The comments 🥺
Thank you to everyone who’s posted a little story about their own family.
I wanted to comment on all of them but I didn’t expect so many replies and can’t keep up now 🤍
Meghan Markle was vilified by the press, and strangers on social media posted hideous things about her, because she spoke out about blatant racism in Buckingham Palace & people refused to believe her.
Now this.
People defending Susan Hussey though, saying ‘but she’s 83…’
Jeez
Mixed feelings about yesterday's visit to Buckingham Palace. 10 mins after arriving, a member of staff, Lady SH, approached me, moved my hair to see my name badge. The conversation below took place. The rest of the event is a blur.
Thanks

The amount of people saying they now won’t shop in Tesco because they’re asking people to still wear a mask.
I give their boycott a few days, or until they discover that Stella is 2 for 1 and pukka pies are on special offer…
Shop somewhere else. Nobody cares

There was a Ukrainian cleaner on the ward when I was an inpatient recently. I can honestly say that he brightened up my day, every time he came into the room.
For many he was “just a cleaner” but for me, he was the person who went out of his way to make things seem better
Media - ‘The Princess of Wales needs privacy’
Media - ‘We’re currently outside Windsor Castle’
Imagine going through chemo, whilst trying to ensure your children are okay and having people with mics and cameras parked outside your house.
The world knows she has cancer.
Go home
Hoping that Rageh Omaar is okay.
Someone should’ve stepped in and got him some medical attention as soon as it was obvious something was wrong
#itvnews
Why the delay on mandatory face coverings? If you need them on June 15th, surely you need them now.
Or are they anticipating a massive spike in new virus cases, due to the fact that socially distancing doesn’t even seem to be a thing anymore 🤷♀️

@Peston
The numbers didn’t rise because of the G7, they rose due to the masses of tourists that were crammed into the area over half term.
Don’t think you know all about our county just because you came to report on the G7.
You don’t.
It’s been busy all over Cornwall for weeks.
How tf does Katie Price keep getting away with these offences?
These magistrates are just taking the piss out of us now and making a complete mockery of the criminal justice system.
@HW1969
Absolutely not; unfortunately my years in the NHS have probably put her off for life! She’s starting a new job next month in the charity sector though
A young child has been critically injured in the accident on the A30 today and people are moaning that they’re stuck in a queue of non moving traffic.
The police don’t want to close the road and a family don’t want to be praying their child survives.
Get some perspective.
Genuinely saddened to hear that Derek Draper has died.
Most people can’t even begin to imagine what they’ve been through as a family over the last few years.
My condolences go out to Kate Garraway and their children.
RIP Derek
Despite being a drama, the harsh reality of
#Casualty
tonight is making really hard viewing.
The portrayal of the raw emotion is so real & utterly devastating to watch but it’s important to remember that there are NHS staff who are currently doing this for real, every single day
@flodwyns
Write him a letter, that way he can read it when he’s ready. Pride can often get in the way of being rational.
I hope you can sort things out
I’m not allowed to tweet about my son as he gets shitty but today, I don’t care.
HE PASSED!
My boy got his green lid today, after completing the AACC and I couldn’t be prouder.
Missed the fb photo shoot as he was with the medic and we’ve spent hours thinking he didn’t finish!
Can anyone help with this please or share, in the hope there are people who can?

I’m sorry, why are some people wanting sympathy for Katie Price?
If you think drink driving is defendable, have a word with yourself.
People die, needlessly, every year because of people like her and there is absolutely no justification for drink driving whatsoever.
None
Loads of people coming up with really wild speculation about why Prince William has pulled out of some event today.
To add to the speculation, maybe, just maybe, he’s got diarrhoea.
Shit happens sometimes.
Literally
Lots of tweets about Phillip Schofield today and for the life of me, I can’t understand why, in 2020, everyone is feeling the need to praise and congratulate him.
Nobody should care.
He’s still the same person.
His sexuality won’t make him any different to who he was yesterday.
Thanks for all the love. The beauty of strangers is a lovely thing ❤️
I’m okay, thank you to everyone who’s asked and sent best wishes. It’s more than my neighbour has done!
173 people died last year as a result of domestic abuse. They won’t be brought back either.
Whilst the death of Caroline Flack is tragic, domestic abuse isn’t something that can be brushed under a carpet.
It’s never acceptable, famous or not.
The police were right to prosecute.
Christine Flack: "I think you should be disgusted with yourself because there is nothing we can do to bring Caroline back, because you appealed to prosecute."
DIB: I'm not clear if that was a question what do you want me to respond to?
Literally bored of saying this now -
This tweet was to point out the difference between ‘free’ and private healthcare.
Nothing else.
If you’re here to call me bitter, save it,
I’m not.
I received treatment and I’m grateful.
I hope Kate recovers quickly.
@KalsElaine
Let’s get this clear
You worded it like you have a problem with ‘this lot’
It’s probably a bit late to start back pedalling now.
‘This lot’ would put their life on the line for you without a second thought, and many of them already have.
Maybe it’s time to delete the post
Hospitals are quiet are they?
If that’s the case, why is my 82 year old dad laying on a trolley, waiting for a bed because our hospital is full & they have no beds.
Why, when I left, were there 8 ambulances parked outside?
Quiet? Yeah, right.
Keep that shit off my timeline.
Haven’t heard weather like this for a very long time.
Literally sounds like my house is going to blow away; so I’ve got up and put my best pyjamas on, just in case…
And the light, because I’m scared.
A grown arsed woman, terrified of the noises outside 💨

Dear people praising the Coventry university students for their partying,
Will you be so pleased with them when cases rise, there’s a local lockdown enforced in that area and as a result, small businesses are affected?
Thought not.
Oh fuck off.
600 posts a day. Good luck to anyone who wants to read a long thread.
Wtf am I meant to do all day now?
How can I share my exciting hospital food photos?

Let’s talk about Lucy Letby shall we?
Does that make all nurses complicit?
All of those who work for the NHS, which is by definition a system.
Even those who never ever met her.
No. It doesn’t.
Your logic is completely flawed
If you’re suggesting that William Shakespeare died as a result of the vaccination, you need to have a word with yourself.
He’s left a family; people who don’t want to read a load of bile being spewed.
He’s not a propaganda tool.
He’s someone that people loved.
Show some respect.
Never been more grateful that I didn’t donate to the H̶a̶n̶n̶a̶h̶ I̶n̶g̶r̶a̶m̶ M̶o̶o̶r̶e̶ f̶u̶n̶d̶ Captain Tom fund
His own website said the books were being written for his charity, the Captain Tom foundation.
Not to line their pockets
Shame on his family
Grifters…
BREAKING: Captain Tom’s family have confessed to taking money from the NHS fundraising veteran – from the sale of his books.
His daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore said they kept £800,000 from three books he had written.

Christmas ad?
I hate writing cards, hate the elf on the shelf & board games? No thanks.

@Jessrocks71
Sharing my bad experience makes me pathetic, does it?
Because your food was good, I’m pathetic for saying mine wasn’t, am I?
As for why stay in hospital to catch infections. I did.
Glad you got home for Christmas.
“We forgot about covid”
Clearly forgot about the people who live here too by the sound of it, some who are still trying to socially distance for various reasons.
But yeah, let’s go to Cornwall and act like covid wasn’t a thing, because we’re on holiday...
Muting this now.
To those who have lost loved ones, I am so sorry.
To those who are doing their bit to keep others safe, I thank you.
To those who are here to tell me I’m stupid/ignorant/whatever, I don’t care. I’d rather be who I am than be like you.
Keep safe everyone ❤️
What the absolute f*ckery is this all about?
This woman is an absolute disgrace.
Constantly claims she’s being harassed by anonymous accounts.
I’m not surprised when she posts shite like this.
Vile
(If the medical man referenced in my earlier tweet sees this, I’m not sorry)
To all the people moaning about the Met police and shouting Bring in the Army, wtf do you actually want them to do?
Get a grip.
Stop tweeting from your armchairs about things you know fk all about & how about doing something useful, like signing up.
Until then, educate yourselves
This Christian Legal Centre lot need to have a long hard word with themselves and stop preying on distressed relatives and filling them with false hope.
Shameful behaviour from them. Not the first time and likely won’t be the last either
#ArchieBattersbee
Have a fkn word with yourselves
#ThisMorning
People are using food banks and wondering how they’ll pay their bills and you have someone ramming enough food in their mouth to feed a family.
At least you’ve saved my energy consumption today, because I’ve turned the tv off
People have accidents every single day, some tragic.
It’s time for people to leave the family of Nicola Bulley alone now.
They don’t need to see peoples opinions of what they think happened.
They need time to grieve and try to piece their lives back together again.
RIP Nicola
Kevin Keegan is trending because he apparently doesn’t like womens football pundits
Here’s a thing
I’d much rather listen to Emma Hayes with her insightful knowledge than some of the useless men who think they’re great because they once kicked a ball around.
Misogynistic prick
People like Sam Fender enough to buy tickets yet when he cancels a gig he’s suddenly shite.
Get over it.
None of yous have any idea what’s actually wrong with him so pipe down.
He does not have to tell you what’s going on with his health. It’s not your business.
Listening to my son saying “shut up you twat” whilst listening to Boris, makes me realise my parenting skills haven’t been so bad after all
#PressConference
Whatever has happened, two little girls are without their mum, her parents are without their daughter and numerous people who love Nicola Bulley are wanting answers.
Please stop your armchair analysis of what you think happened. Some of it is particularly cruel 😔

@GaryLineker
@piersmorgan
Excellent at what he does?
He stated that he didn’t think a woman was suicidal and called her ‘Pinocchio’ after she talked about it.
He’s potentially pushed the achievements of mental health workers/charities back years, because people will now be too scared to speak out
Anyway, the reason I tweeted is because I know for a fact there are other people just like me.
Want to make a change but are maybe too embarrassed to do it.
Don’t wait. Go along.
The people at these groups are the loveliest, most supportive people.
You won’t regret it 💐
What the actual f*ck
This is horrific.
NOBODY should be treated like this.
If you treated a child like this, you’d be charged with cruelty so how the hell can these staff do this and get away with it.
They’re meant to be caring for these people.
Helping them
No words 😞

I can’t keep up with the comments.
If I’ve missed replying to you or haven’t liked your comment, I’m sorry.
If you’ve made me laugh, thank you.
Genuinely though, your replies have been great and have really cheered me up.
Thank you all so much

#Ambulance
and these people are worth their weight in gold.
Doing the best in the worst circumstances. Undervalued and often underappreciated too, yet still they put on that uniform and go and do the job every day.
Legends, all of them 🤍
Daughter has covid.
She only goes to college.
Months and months of keeping safe but yeah, you tweet away about how fkn fantastic you are for not wearing a mask.
Fuck the lot of you
Here’s an unfiltered photo of wrinkly old me in the wind, because, why not...
I’ve not posted it for people to like (nobody ever does anyway!)
I’ve posted it because I’m genuinely happy to be outside in the fresh air, appreciating all of the things we still take for granted
Woke up expecting to see lots of tweets about

and instead, Julia is trending.
I see the similarities though.
Load of old wind, with the potential to cause widespread damage, with no regard to people’s lives whatsoever...
I’m not blessed with great health.
If you are, congratulations.
If you’d be kind enough to leave stuff for those of us who struggle to get out very often, that’d be great.
Coronavirus is unlikely to make most of you seriously ill. You don’t need to stockpile.
Selfish b*stards.
Here were go, they descend upon my poor county of cornwall, twice as many as normal and a lot more permanently closed shops. Cornish people, stay safe from these idiots...who knows what these million holiday makers are bringing down with them and our single hospital

Here’s Alice, who has slagged off the police non stop for days.
Weeks, months, years actually.
Using the murder of Andrew Harper as a pinned tweet, wanting people to think she’s not all bad.
Only she didn’t bother to even check the fkn date.
‘4 years ago today’
Wrong.
Shameful
