Interests veer wildly from pop culture and TV/film nostalgia, to LGBTQ+, Eurovision and digital inclusion. Cumbrian, in Stockport, working in human centered design for Sweden via Macclesfield. Wife, kids, whippet 🌈
It’s happened. I’ve nurtured a smartarse in my own image. Dared to suggest my daughter’s chosen holiday clothes might not be what I’d pick and she said “you’d just have us all in tracksuits”. Bigot
It’s my CP anniversary today. We are in different parts of the country, but apparently 16 years is wax. I found this candle in my bag earlier
I’ve told you three times, we are a platform as a service but contact your administrator if you ‘feel’ this is an error. One day, I won’t have to experience bid portals. One day
He’s not that interesting. I could listen to the work done by Citizens Advice for much longer from @dasbarrett.bsky.social. When we talk about civic resilience and intervention, this kind of analysis and response is crucial. Also, new catchphrase? “Their click is not up to my pace” ~ Bill Gates
Some stickers to reflect the sentiment of the talk on the Nexer desk, along with a few other prompts to be inclusive and compassionate ;-)
Kids “won” this hula hoop in a tombola. It’s wasted on me but if anyone else would like to warm their female uterus, perhaps let me know? I’ve done the alt text. Not sure it adds clarity

I’ve got you covered, because Stockport also had the word’s smallest disco, the Miniscule of Sound
Facebook, where you can watch multiple videos of Matt Goodwin being petulant and doing an actual racism but a man/bot called Barrie will obsess over whether the other, better candidates are “even English” or are married to multi-millionaires #RealManchester
Walked away from the news for a bit, because privilege. Surprised to see the Bluesky priorities when I checked back it 👀
That’s me. No reflections, no resolutions. Might come back for ABBA at midnight
Product warning. If anyone buys your child one of these, throw it straight on the fire. Do not open the box. We were already geriatric mothers but I fear I’ll now be building this until retirement
Decided easiest option was to arrange a winter gathering in the office, rather than organise a place we could all meet. Temperature control got so out of hand for the menopausal women, some men put their coats back on. Turns out I’m great at Cornhole though
“You’ll be visited by three spirits” The three spirits:
Similar burrowing whippet problems here. No way she will go outside before bed
Daughter is starting to agree with me that Celia Imrie is the best of humans #CelebrityTraitors
Sometimes, when it’s cameras on in a Teams call, and you’re supposed to act all serious at the news just shared
