My mum picked up a book that looks quite good

Mortification by Mark Watson

Important news! We saw a tortoise in a cowboy hat. His name is Cookie.

Exhausted chic ✨

Me, a middle aged brunette woman with glasses, in a grey sleeveless top and dark lipstick, wearing a badge that says I Love Hot Dads. I look very tired.

Four years since my first time meeting @watsoncomedian.bsky.social. It was such a big deal for me to travel to another city and stay there on my own. Getting the courage to push through my tiny comfort zone allowed me to become a fearless comedian performing from Devon to Edinburgh. Thanks, Mark ❤️

A Facebook post from four years ago. “Can’t stop smiling after meeting the lovely Mark Watson”. There is a picture of me and Mark looking, unfortunately, conjoined at the head, because I wanted to give him a hug but I thought it might be weird so I panicked and just put my face on his face.

I have no mouth and-- nice 👀

My recent quote post of an ice cream shop with the tagline "IF YOU HAVE A MOUTH, WE HAVE A FLAVOR". It has 69 reposts. Nice.

Finally the answer to “is Sam Tân a top or a bottom?”

A sign that says “Fireman Switch”

Why does this delivery person have demands? 😅

I have no skin in the game. It’s just as yummy either way. Simultaneously shovel jam and cream directly into my mouth for all I care.

Why does my boss message on Teams like she’s a player

Chrissy Derbyshire@chrissyd-comedy· Jun 30

You seem nice too. Backstreet BOYS.

Chrissy Derbyshire@chrissyd-comedy· Jun 28

Not young. Not skinny. Not subtle or mysterious. But you know what? Pretty damn confident in herself.

“Amateur Person” isn’t a bad show title

Tried to buy a Playstation, then a Nintendo Switch. You don't want to see the Wii.

A few from back when I was a very burnt out proofreader.

A Facebook post from 2020.

Me: *is a professional editor and proofreader, helped write a proofreading course, is in charge of testing people to see if they have what it takes to be proofreaders*

Also me: 'Very food wirk'.

A Facebook post from 2020:

Goodness' sake, tired me.

I just tried to indicate that a candidate had passed our proofreading tests at work, and instead of 'PASS' I wrote 'PSSSS'.

A Facebook post from 2020. It reads: "Work (or, This Is Why Even Proofreaders Need Proofreaders')". Attached is a screenshot of a word document where I have written to a colleague, "Changed 'Why try our proofreading services' to 'Why not try our proofreading services'! Slightly less nihilistic!'"

Throwback to when I was a film and TV extra, the most glamorous of all jobs.

A Facebook post from 11 years ago: “You know you're scaling the dizzy heights of showbiz when a dresser has to ward off male intruders into your segment of a marquee by shouting, 'You can't come in here! This is ladies' dressing! There's a lady in here! SHE'S IN HER BRA AND PANTS!'”

Happy eighth anniversary of Ride My Bride to all who celebrate 🐎👰‍♀️

A Facebook post from eight years ago:

Anwen: When I'm older I'm going to write a movie called 'Ride My Bride'. It's about a man who finds this little horse and they fall in love and get married and then there's a big horse race and he tells the horse rider, 'You've got to ride my bride!' It'll be part romance, part comedy.

Me: ...there is SO much wrong with that.

Me whenever I neglect the housework, spend too much money on coffee, or overshare about my feelings
