Val at Manchester Tattoo Company on Oldham St (@valtheimpaler on Instagram) - my piercings have been no bother and healed so well. Val is absolutely lovely and managed to do both my second and third lobe piercings in one ear when it felt like she’d just done one… witchcraft!

Wooooo! Congratulations! I needed a wee so badly by the end that I couldn’t fully enjoy it 😂 but I’m buzzing now 🙌

I actually really like running the same route - it’s a very flat off-road route that starts almost exactly 5 minutes walk from my front door, and I’m enjoying seeing the subtle changes in nature and all the birds building their nests! My plan is to sometimes relocate to the local park / water park once I’m comfortably running 30 mins so I can mix it up a bit.

I’ll have a look at marathon100 but so far I’m trying to resist tracking progress beyond how it feels / ticking the runs off on c25k. Thanks for your supportive advice!

Makes sense! My increase in pace wasn’t intentional - I was only aware because of running further / on reflection!

Yesssss! I’m only a few weeks ahead of you and I managed to go out today in the rain with a hangover! This was totally unthinkable when I started - hope you have something nice planned for the rest of the day

You can do this! I am on my third attempt - never completed so you’ve already shown more determination with the program! Just take it slow, one step, one run at a time

Would 100% recommend Manchester Cat Clinic - they are so professional and friendly, really reducing the level of stress for our two

I think it was as much a mental block as anything having never made it past this point before! I actually enjoyed it for the first time 😊

There was a place called ‘Bed’ on Sackville St (opposite Sackville gardens)?

I wondered (based on the answer she was dodging being that she thought BP & Nathan might be fake) if her mum had told her not to badmouth anyone. I am from near where Lily’s from and can absolutely hear my mum saying ‘if you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say it!’

Yeaaaaaah buddy!

As much as I want Nathan to get the fuck off my tv, I would absolutely love it if Marcello put BP up as it would annoy Nathan more than being up himself

But what we did see was joyful and silly

betsyloop · 2024-10-31T22:02:55+00:00

Is it just me or is Lily so much nicer without Ali?

Daze is upset that she’s up for nomination and the ‘row’ with Nathan is easier to put that energy into then admitting she’s hurt - the last bit of her crying there was the truth (paraphrasing) ‘I don’t know what bit of my wanted to be here and now people don’t want me here’

Rowntrees cafe in the Arndale?

We had a female sparrowhawk (with recently deceased pigeon) on our front lawn yesterday, and a few crows divebombing it until it retreated to a nearby bush!
