Not feeling 100% today but got up, dressed and faced the world. I don't often blow my own trumpet but don't think I'm too fugly for a 50 year old. I'm proud of myself at how much I've achieved this last year. Considering what I was dumped for it's his loss 👍😉
So after a panic attack last night I took a huge leap today and changed my hair colour. Not everyone's cup of tea but ok for my age....52! I've had complements today but also had grown men laugh at me and make several nasty comments😢
Please be kind as I have the lockdown look at the moment. As of today I'm officially down from over 24st to 13st 6lbs. Losing weight isn't easy but possible. Trying to get to my goal weight of 10st 7lbs before I turn 50 in October 🤞
Well both my ex husband and ex fiancee can go do one. They both have in the last 12 months called me nasty and undatable but at 50 I think I'm doing ok. Both licences, a full time job and a looking for somewhere permanent to live soon isn't too bad and I'll soon have a car x
Thank you so much everyone for all your amazing messages. I would love to reply to you all but finding it impossible. Tied back my curls and have been busy renovating our back garden and filling in pot holes on a few neighbours drives to help them out x
How can I lose in life with this handsome furbaby by my side. Deano has never left my side. My friend and protector and of course he loves motorbikes 👍😁🐾🏍
After a crap lesson on my part and a complete meltdown I've only gone and passed my driving test. I can now legally drive a car by myself and a motorbike 👍😁🏍🚘🍾
I might be 50, short arsed, curvaceous and single but I'm content. I'm rich in life itself. Lost a few so called friends in the last 15 months but their loss not mine. Life is too precious to waste my tears on losers😊💖🏍🐾
Nothing exciting. I'm going to be a kitchen porter but it's a step in the right direction. My road to independence. Things are starting to look brighter
Can't wait to take more shots like these especially as I now have my own camera. They're not the best and I'm no professional but I'm proud of them. Be even better when I get my own car which won't be long now.

Thank you for all who follow me. I realise I'm not everyone's cup of tea but that's ok. My goal is to reach a thousand followers. I will do my best not to bore people as my tweets are mostly about myself, my furbaby Deano and motorbike stuff👍😁🏍🐾
Finally some great news.....we've exchanged contracts and all being we get our keys on Tuesday. I would have loved to have been watching the racing but I had to prioritize the most important things like a home. Everything is starting to fall into place for us🤞😁
Been so busy but finally feel like I'm back on track especially with my weightloss journey. Definitely need to dye my hair soon as found a few greys but think I'm doing ok for a 51 year old😉🤪
Bed well after midnight and back up at 05:30am for some chill time with Deano before another late shift. Starting to feel ok about myself. Not bad for 50 just don't zoom in on the wrinkles 🤣
Posted these before but I'm quite proud of them. I will never be good enough to wear a bib at a race meeting but it makes me happy knowing I can take these shots and be ok saying I'm a complete beginner. Be kind 😁🏍
WE DID IT! We signed for the keys today for our new home. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. It's definitely going to be a great year. Ain't no stopping me now😁🎊🍾🥂
So first week done and dusted. No laughing at me photo as it's easier and quicker to fasten my hair back. Absolutely loving it. Still alot to learn but working with an amazing team. I'm also enjoying the walking to and from work.
Completed and smashed my pass plus driving course today. Nearly 8 hours of driving. Covered Harrogate, Ripon and up the A1 to Washington and back again. Rally driving next😉😂🚘
Been really stressed and poorly but refusing to quit. Trying to stay positive and smile despite dealing with negative people and narcissistic behaviour. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger or so they say😊🏍
Had a very productive morning getting everything sorted. I officially start my new job on Wednesday. Super proud of myself. After years of listening to negativity I've finally started to believe in myself and want to achieve so much more. 💖🥳🎊
Officially 2 weeks away from the big 50😟 Not my best selfie so be kind lol. Thank you for all the kind words and support I've received so far. I really appreciate it and won't forget who has been there for me. I'm back on track💝🏍
Youngest daughter treated me to these amazing books 😁🏍
Also just paid a deposit for a course in September. I'm going for my SIA badge. Not afraid to do something new😊
I promise myself in 2023 to shift the final couple of stones to make a weightloss of over 15 1/2stones. To have more adventures with my buddy Deano. Get more skilled with the DIY and look at buying myself my first car. Maybe even a motorbike too. Not resolutions but promises x
Celebrating being 2 years single and almost a year of being a homeowner. Almost 7 weeks into my new management role. Looking for my first car and loving spending loads of time with my family and furbabies. Working hard but making good memories and I'm proud of myself 💖🏍😬
Been a hell of a week so chilling out watching the Equalizer 2 and having a wee drink. Worked hard, had a threat made to me at work, fed up with people telling me I need a man in my life but apart from all that life is good. Hope everyone is having a great day. 😊
So to celebrate the new single me thanks to my ex fiancee I was challenged to post me in my target outfit. I've gone from over 24st size 32+ to 13st 12lbs and the jumpsuit is a size 12. My goal weight is 10st 6lbs and I will get there. Needs more work. Be kind💝
Friday 13th turned out to be a good day for me. I signed a contract for a new job. No more late nights. Notice given on my old job. Nervous but looking forward to a new start. I'm not saying it will be easy but I won't be as tired🤞
Made it into my target clothes but my jeans are too big already. I'm mentally struggling to recognise myself as I can feel the difference with my clothes I just need to have it register in my head. Another 44.5lbs still to lose🤞😊
@Chappers2013
No matter what happens in life this one is always by my side. Sometimes a pain in the @$$, sometimes a goofball but mainly a loving and adorable furbaby. Life is good with him. He'll be 4 in May🐾
Just had a couple of days off work. I definitely needed them. Some people are just plain awful. Can't go into detail but I'm 52 and I've about had it. Why can't people just be kind. Fairy tales don't exist for me now and I'm OK with that but enough is enough. Thank god for deano
So my week off is almost over but I'm having the time of my life. Spent time with my girls, grandson and furbabies. Happy memories made. Life is what you make it. My furbaby Deano is such a poser but my best buddy 🐾💖
Back from work, brew in hand and cuddles with the Deano. I'm very single but never lonely whilst I have my furbaby. He won't lie to me, call me names or let me down. He's my soulmate, buddy and most of all my protector.
My collection is getting there. Not one for reading romance novels. Stick to what I know is real. I don't have to worry about valentine's day so more money to spend on essentials 😁🏍
All I need now is to lose the weight to get to my target and get a house. I was accused of holding people back. Look whose laughing now cock wombles 👍😁
Will be raising a glass to my precious brother who would have been 50 on Tuesday. Suicide sucks. I hate myself daily for not stopping him even though I had visions days before that something was wrong. I tried to contact him but failed 💔Miss you Gordon xx
Didn't want to jinx it yesterday but I signed a new contract. I can't not work mainly due to finances etc but mentally I need it as I love my independence. My girls have been amazing and so supportive. Deano is as always my best furbuddy💖
Made to another Birthday.....holy crap it's scary getting older but I'm grateful to be celebrating it. The last two were over shadowed by relationship issues but I'm finally in a great place and loving life again.
Thank you so much guys. I'm very happy being single and besides my furbaby Deano is company enough. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Definitely hoping to purchase a cheap but reliable car so I can attend race meetings 👍😁🏍
A mother will stop at nothing to protect her children especially those that can shoot a weapon and ride motorbikes. Hate to be the person who crosses my girls😉Definitely a movie I can watch over and over. Jennifer Lopez plays her role well.
Despite everything me and my buddy have gone we're still staying strong and loving our new life. Our house has become a home and still have lots of new and exciting things about to commence. Looking forward to tweeting about them👍😁🏍🐾
We've been through alot together but he's never let me down. I promised my furbaby Deano a better life and he's got it. He's experienced his first proper Christmas and I think he's enjoyed it. Merry Christmas Deano. 2023 will be amazing for us......trust me x
#100
Day Challenge
These are my target jeans my youngest got me.....size 12.
Why 100? I turn 50 in 100 days and I have set myself the challenge of fitting in them for my birthday. Having gone from a size 32+ I'm almost back to the weight and size I was in whilst in the army👍😁
No alcohol in 3 weeks so having a cheeky large glass of malbec, popcorn and RED....
Prepped my bedroom walls, washing done and returning my old licence, cut up of course as finally got my new one through. Busy week ahead but feeling great. Cheers🍷😁
Sunrise with my buddy. Life is pretty great. The house is coming together nicely. Love starting the day with a fresh coffee, clear conscious, a pma and Deano 😊🐾🏍
Always by my side. I promised him safety, love and security and he has this now. I realise people disagree with me because I spoil him but I don't care. He's my furbaby and buddy. 😊🐾💙
Another skip filled and another small job done. Not perfect but home. I'm proud of the progress we're making on the house. I'm no expert, cash strapped and tired but trying to make the most of life. I did this in a day. Life is good😁
There's positivity in packing your stuff up. Was going to buy one of these but already have one....few pounds saved. Even have a tent too. Road trip essentials 👍😁🏍
Thank you to everyone who follows me. It means alot. I was once told I would be lucky with a few followers and look at me now. Over 700......means alot.....thank you😁🏍
Not my best pic but posting it anyways. I'll be better once I've dropped the rest of my weight. Had a great day gardening and cleaning the car. Glad my clunky sailed through it's mot. Had help from my best buddy Deano x
I'm 50 and single but I'm ok with that. I'm not desperate either. Fed up of people following me and then deleting me because I don't fall at their feet. I'm not relationship friendly due to my past relationship. It has left me emotionally scarred and very happy just being me.
@DogLovers03
Such a beautiful furbaby. They're family. I was dumped with my furbaby and we had to sofa surf for a time. I made him a promise and we now have a home. He's my world. He's now 4 and my best friend.
Just learnt how to change a pendant light fitment. Gutted as was going to do it but doubted myself. Going to look up a few DIY courses at my local college. Quite fancy plastering and electrical but will also look into plumbing and tiling😁

Driving lesson on my day off.....bay parking and drove to Leeds....fricking loved it. Another lesson tomorrow booked. I don't care how many tests I fail I'm not quitting because I love driving. PMA in place which means I won't give into to fear. I will keep going until I do pass.
Just in from work and shopping so now it's garden time with a brew whilst Deano runs off his energy 😁 Can't believe I get to spend my 51st birthday in October in our new home💖
Thank you guys. I feel pretty dammed proud of myself. Since being dumped by a loser I've started working full time, applied for a mortgage, continued to lose weight, bought a whole new wardrobe and now have a full driving licence for both bike and car.
#lovinglife
Living under the ex's roof is crap but it's a roof. Been ordered to pack any personal belongings away if not in use as we don't belong here. Two days off and still working. More house viewings booked so fingers crossed. Chilling with a cheeky little red number. 👍😉🍷
Hope everyone has a fantastic day. I'm off today but back in tomorrow. Went for an interview yesterday and was offered the job. A very challenging role compared to what I'm used to but I will do my best. Start in a week's time🎉🏍
4 weeks into my new job and proud of myself. Got a long weekend off with my best buddy. 2 weeks and I will have a week off for Christmas. Hoping to achieve even more in 2024. Grateful for my new life. Making precious memories 💖
Super proud of myself for not quitting. This came in the post today. There may be other good news following shortly too🤞🤫 Almost a year ago my world was turned upside down and he did me the biggest favour of all. Back on track with my weightloss journey as well. I've got this😁
House hunting going well. Still working hard and absolutely loving life. Deano and myself are a perfect team and no matter how difficult things get we will keep going. Life really does begin at 50.

Gave our builder a helping hand today. All tiles had to be smashed up. Skip loaded ready for collection. Even got rid of a patch of ground which gets very, very muddy and slippery when it rains. I'm aching now and feeling my age but really enjoyed myself. Helping tomorrow too👍😁
Ignore my sore nose. I started my driving lessons today and frickingived it. Smashed a very steep hill. Was also informed I look about 35/36 that'll do me nicely today. Driving therapy was much needed.

When you're 52, don't drink, never smoked and on a diet and absolutely love being single I decided to upload a photo and become different characters. Gives me a chance to see different hair colours😁
STATEMENT ISSUED FROM THE SOUTHERN 100 ROAD RACING CLUB
Tonight's incident involved two riders, a marshal and a spectator and it is with deep sadness that the Southern 100 regrets to announce that this incident has resulted in two fatalities.
Absolutely loved my driving lesson today. So many positive things happen when you feel positive and confident in life. I feel amazing at the moment. Job, driving lessons etc. Excited for the future. Being 50 suits me👍😁🔥
First proper tweet in a while apart from retweets due to coming off social media after receiving threats from the ex's daughter. Should be moving into our new house at the end of the month so new beginnings. Thanks to those who checked up on us 😊🏍🐾x
@Dalbodog
That probably makes me disgusting too. My furbaby shares my bed and always will. We've been through so much together. Some people share their beds with drunks etc but not me. I love my furbaby. 💙🐾
Love coming home to my bubbabear Deano. Sore throat and headache but feel better cuddles with my furbaby always helps. I'm absolutely shattered but life is good considering everything we've been through.
Wide awake to sleeping beauty. My buddy has not left my side all night. My pawfect furbaby. He's my protector, best buddy and companion in one. Some people say I spoil him too much but I challenge them to tell me that face to face but they won't like their answer 😉🐾
#happy
The past few years have flown by. I've gone from sofa surfing with my furbaby to having a full time job, passing my car test, owning a car and a home. Would love a better car next year and possibly a motorbike too.

Another challenge accepted and completed. I've even got an interview lined up for Tuesday. Even if I don't get the job I'm gaining experience and confidence. Even seriously started looking for a car.

Well I'm officially off for a week. Flat roofs being replaced Monday, my bedroom ceiling is being reboarded and plastered so a well earnt night off. Doing more DIY as well but not tonight😉 lost a few followers and gained a few. Can't please everyone. I'm just me plain and simple
Thank you so much to all who follow myself and the Deano. Hit the 800 mark. Was informed by the ex that if I followed more than followed me then I was a loser. I know that's not the case but he is so shallow anyways😊
Big shout out to
@ProBikeUK
for my amazing prize. Fast delivery too. Received it a couple of days ago but only got time to open it today. Definitely hanging it in the office 👍😁🏍
I'm not afraid to keep pushing for what I want. Another step closer to ticking off another target.....just secured a mortgage offer. Excited about the next chapter in mine and Deano's future.

First thing I see in the morning and before I close my eyes in the evening....my furbaby Deano. Can't believe he's three this year. One commitment I'm not afraid of. He's my pawfect and can't wait to buy a car and go watch motorbike racing again🐾💙🏍
2 weeks into my new job and everything is good. Learning lots of new things. I'm tired but will hopefully get into a routine. I'm grateful for everything and everyone.
