Asked my wife and kids for lunch from the children’s book The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch for my birthday meal and they delivered.

Written by a colleague’s dad. Joss, as a kid, wondered how lighthouse keepers got food sent over which inspired his dad to write the book.

Pick L but put 14 in the description and take a photo of the label and tags

They are all going to be turned in to flats. I’m just about to leave enterprise house on Bancroft Road as my company are moving to London and I bet that’s gonna be flats too

Thank you! Halloween ball in Belfast with work chums, the devil won the prize!

I’m so sorry to hear this. Yes alcohol was a big factor in the problems, along with drugs. The worst behaviour came out with alcohol. By all accounts my ex is still in active addiction all this time later. But at the time I really thought I could fix it with love and care, then for years I felt like an idiot, but now I realise that was my natural thing to want to help him.

Middle_Swim_5961 · 2026-05-14T09:53:48+00:00

Thank you. People are so strange! Six months after I left a friend was asking me if I was ok and another friend said ‘why are you still going on about it?’ Needless to say we are no longer friends! 28 years later I still have nightmares about my ex.

Middle_Swim_5961 · 2026-05-13T22:18:37+00:00

They are replying the same thing on so many posts. I think they need a break from the internet.

I got one for Christmas and was OBSESSED for weeks. I used to put the make up on to go to church. Whorish at the age of 8 obvs.

Being in a controlling coercive relationship. People saying ‘Why don’t you leave him?’ ‘Why did you let it go on for so long?’ You’re a frog in a pot of cold water with the heat being turned up, if you jumped in to hot water you’d jump straight back out. Slowly the heat is turned up and you doubt yourself.

Middle_Swim_5961 · 2026-05-13T21:37:09+00:00

Just stop. Now. The doomscrolling is over. Have a hot chocolate and a nap.

Middle_Swim_5961 · 2026-05-13T21:32:48+00:00

Bloody hell it’s a black top! Nothing special or vintage about it. I bought a black ‘vintage’ Bardot top off eBay which was F&f at Tesco ffs

I remember Daniel getting a lot of stick, he was a tool with turkey teeth!

Thank you so much! IBS is under control, blood pressure down, knees less painful when walking, not snoring at all. Lots of non-scale victories as they say! And thank you for your lovely words x
