26/01/12: 10 years ago today, I received the news that I was living with HIV; I passed out & thought it was the end of the world. Cut to 26/01/22, I’m Undetectable, I’ve just received my latest 6-month delivery of meds, and I’m happier than I’ve been in years 😃

I may be overweight, gay, skint, depressed and single, but I just spent my lunch break removing my email address from all those mailing lists that I’ve inadvertently signed up to, and honestly I’ve never felt like I’ve got my shit together more than this moment right now!
Can we normalise not giving people disapproving looks or saying negative things when someone says they aren’t drinking please. It’s hard enough to battle that demon if you are trying your best and the last thing you need is your friends giving you shit all night. Thank you x
What’s your IKEA product name?
Take your surname backwards. Stick an umlaut over the first vowel, then choose a furniture item.
Mine is whalley Yëllahw sideboard
Released 20 YEARS ago today. Critically acclaimed & hailed as one of the best dance anthems of the new millennium, the track is a mashup of Coco Star’s 1996 track “I Need a Miracle" & Fragma's own 1999 track "Toca Me", it reached UK No.1 & sold over 3 million copies!
Sadly, my Grandma passed away this afternoon. She had a huge influence on me as she’s the reason I started line dancing in 1994, and it’s been the most monumental part in my life for 27 years. I will miss her dearly x

A decade since I found out I was LIVING with HIV, and it still feels empowering to get this text every 6 months. Undetectable=Untransmittable

Shop done, Maccies breakfast demolished. And the rest of my day will be spent in my pants whilst drinking tea, eating Jaffa Cakes and watching crappy daytime TV. Bliss.
Off to my nephews Holy Communion! ✝️ hopefully I don’t burst into flames as soon as I work through the doors of the church! 🔥 Have a great Saturday everyone x

This wristband is about to get cut. I fly out to Benidorm in a few hours. Outlook & Teams already deleted from my phone. About to delete Facebook, Twitter & Instagram etc as I really need a total disconnect from the world. Hope everyone’s had a great MCR Pride. See you soon x
Just realised I got out of prison 15 years ago today!!!! Most of you won’t know that. But, whilst I’m not proud of what I did, I’m not ashamed to say it. It was the best learning curve I’ve ever experienced, helped me be a better man, and has made me the person I am today x
I’m just wanna be in the middle of a sweaty dance floor, surrounded by absolute messes, lights flashing, music loud, the smell of poppers in the air, writhing all over the place to “Gimme More” by the one and only miss Britney Spears
Bought a Philips OneBlade Face & Body as it was on offer for £29.99. Just tried it out and happy with it. Even trim on face and really close shave on my head 😃
Chromatica. Mel C has a new singlez Britney’s finally released Mood Ring. Smoke 2 Seven’s album has just been put on streaming. There’s a new Diana Ross instrumental remix album. Steps have one brewing. Future Nostalgia still slaps. And Chromatica. GAY RIGHTS
I fell off the wagon last night. So instead of kicking myself about it, I start again. I’m so lucky to live in a gorgeous 3-bed city centre apartment & to have amazing people in my life who’ve reached out & made me feel better about myself. I hope everyone has a amazing Sunday x

Head shaved, face trimmed, work shirts ironed. Just a bit of work to do on the laptop in prep for tomorrow and then a movie. Hopefully we’ll all have a good week next week x
One of my fave photos of HM The Queen & HRH Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, taken in 2003 by Sophie, Countess of Wessex on the Balmoral Estate. The Queen stated in 2021 on the eve of HRH’s funeral that it was one of her favourite pictures of herself & her beloved husband
