Wish my brother well. He's tested positive for Covid. He's a vulnerable case with an immune disorder but didn't want to stop teaching maths to the masses. Love my bro ❤️
Are we going into lockdown or not? This drip feed to the media nonsense is not just deeply frustrating, it's surely potentially dangerous. People traveling now to see loved ones, going out and raiding supermarket shelves while they still can.

'The highest paid employee took home £4.64million'. Wow.
Charity starts at home, clearly

Err...Mike...I'm a former sports reporter that's come on your show multiple times to discuss finance and economics. Journalists research and tell stories, you know that. Whether the subject matter's Kane or Biden, it's the same role, which I'm sure she does very well. As you do!
Couch to 10k. Four weeks ago I decided to go for a little run in London for cancer. I don't run! Today was my fourth 10k event in four weeks.
The

Nice 10km trot around

this morning. Didn't start running until last February, now I've done 18 of these events.

I mean, I'm utterly pants, but it's for charity and I get a medal!
@royalmarsden
Well, at least she's grateful. I've never draped myself over a gift from the other half and posed for a photo.
Bit hard to do with discount flowers from Morrisons but still 🤷🏼♀️
Warms the cockles of the heart to see Bournemouth CEO buy his young Russian wife a £140,000 Bentley as an early Christmas present. Good to see those in charge of the British Virgin Islands owned club, that used the furlough before fans complained, are in touch with the fans

Make no mistake, the man can let rip himself, but he knows that. This is what you want from a boss though. Someone who's self aware, understanding, mature, sees the bigger picture, and wears Harry Potter glasses.
Respect.

Money saving tip of the day: buy sports shirts for 13 year olds. Half the price of the adult shirts.
It's little short in the waist and the shoulders are a bit snug but that's ok.
Come on

How many sick people are just going to hang up and not bother? How many diagnoses are going to be missed?
Urgh. This attitude drives me nuts. These lazy-arse people working from home, juggling home schooling & the like, have done a sterling job keeping the economy moving. And actually they've been helping the local economies where they live. It's not all about the city
Boris says it's no longer necessary to work from home. So city people get back to the offices let's kick start the local economy for shops,cafes who suffered badly. Some people may have become complacent liking this new style of working.Well those folk will never work for me.
Ah, to think, a year ago I was a blonde Londoner with good eyesight.
🤷🏽♀️ Brunette works though, right...?!
🌳 Yorkshire is very pretty.
👓 Glasses though, glasses are a pain, especially with a mask on, opening oven doors, etc.

Have I moved to America and no one told me?
I get that Biden beating Trump is big news, but every story on the first page of the

app?
Surely we also have some things going on here too, no? 🤔
V diff atmosphere where I am in Spain to back home. At the football as in the street, stewards & police focussing less on troublemakers than on Covid infringements. No food or drink served at the game, no nose left uncovered or stewards pounce. So diff to my last match in England
Great to see dating apps promoting the vaccine on their platforms. People will now be able to show their support for the vaccine on their dating profiles & access in-app bonuses if they're vaccinated.
Another reason to get the jab
The number of people complaining about the penalty, saying it a dive, calling

cheats, and hoping Italy smash us in the final now.
Have you actually ever seen Italy play?!
Group of drunk lads walking beneath my bedroom window, one shouting:
"Harry Kane: Scored
Harry Maguire: Scored
Black guy: missed
Black guy: missed
Black guy: missed"
It's not just on Twitter.

exploits appeared in your awesome fanzine...?! Wow 🇩🇪⚽
Been watching football on the terraces since I was 10. Never did my younger self believe I, a girl, could play football. Netball, hockey, athletics, yes but football? Never.
Well believe it now, girls, you can play. And you can win! 🏆😭

And I'm back at the Estadio Cartagonova, this time watching Cartagena v Ibiza. It's a balmy 25ºC in the October sunshine and the home side are deservedly up 2-0 in the first 30mins (ignoring what looked like a rather dubious pen...)

I never thought I'd be so emotional about going to see Derby v Huddersfield! I'm not ashamed to say, I feel prickles in my eyes...

Goodbye London. Hello Yorkshire! Be gentle with me.

I asked for a sticker, you know, the 'I've had my covid vaccine sticker'.
(I want a sticker, ok?)
"We don't do stickers in Yorkshire. That must be a southern thing."
😆
Almost all the tax measures announced in the mini-Budget less than a month ago reversed. This is mad. Unprecedented. Humiliating. Who's in charge? How do you carry on after this?! Just mad, I tell you...
I'm finally doing it. After years of telling others to, I'm ending my longest ever relationship: 18yrs with

Don't get the criticism at all. If she doesn't wanna talk, respect that. And I say that as a journalist.
God forbid we write about the tennis not her responses to our often inane qus. I'd rather watch her play than hear her talk. She shouldn't have had to reveal this

In other news, had a mars bar today for the first time since about 1988.
The same overly sweet, chocolatey goodness that I remember.
Nothing beats a Fudge bar though.
Hats off to the early morning crew out there! Up at 4.45am to chat with

fans. So what now, guys?
Hang on, I've got a great idea! What about starting a brand new European league where you are guaranteed to always play...
No?
As unfair as it might sound, some people are & should be held to a higher standard. Premier League players are in a privileged position as it is, but their industry's been allowed to carry on while others have been decimated.
Just don't take the piss. It's pretty simple
#Mendy
This is absolutely mad. Are there duvets under there? I'd say if you need a new duvet, that's pretty essential heading into winter. Is alcohol roped off? Chocolate? Pizzas?! Who decides what's essential?!
If a store's open, & you want something they sell, buy it 🤷🏼♀️
I despair
After a month of Twitter deactivation, I'm back!
What did I miss? Is Twitter now a digital utopia of kindness, tolerance, intellectual debate and witty repartee?!
From my end, I've finally managed to get to the hairdresser. Err...that's about it.

I always think the sign of true friendship is the ability to rub your face in it.
Was meant to be in Spain. I'm not Spanish, clearly, so can't. But a good Spanish friend is making sure I'm kept up to date on what I could be doing were I out there right now.
Marvellous.
For me to travel the 40mins to work from home every day would cost over £5000.
I'm not surprised people, who've been working effectively from home for the last couple of years, might be reluctant to return full time...
A financial adviser can be worth their weight in gold. But be sure to pick someone decent, you trust, knows their stuff & takes time to know you b4 rushing to opinions.
Oh and isn't a prick on Twitter.
Fees, though v imp, aren't everything...
@jimconey
I don't know how true this is, but as someone who got this particular jab on the understanding that it was a passport to our freedom, I will be supremely pissed off if it doesn't count
@Telegraph
Didn't speak to my dad for 5 years. You really don't know what you've got until you've lost it - and it comes back again.
I'm just glad that we didn't run out of time...
