Power walked to the pub to drown the sorrows of the Stourbridge defeat (knackered & weirdly full of hayfever turns out)
Thank goodness for

(I am actually happier than this photo suggests. Vain as hell though. Standard.)
Firm believe that Thursdays are the “gateway to the weekend” so pleased to be spending it in the local.
Last week off before the new job starts, so making the most of it!

Back from the Housing conference and open the door to this beauty! Only a few weeks to go and I’ll be volunteering! Happy July - countdown to

Don’t judge me twitter…I’ve spent £28 on four pints and I’m here and ready to watch
@busted
with my bestie! But she is proper one of the best people I know and it’s ace to be able to just have fun tonight with her. She totally deserves it! ❤️
Another four day week & I’m knackered! Blast through a bit of admin now, football later & then hopefully a swift one in the pub. Also decided to embrace the grey this week and go all out. Step one…lighter. Step two…coming soon! Bring on the weekend (and Eurovision!) 💕☀️🍻💃
After many attempts we found a decent-ish angle to prove we’re on the stand, up and working and not just here for the drinks receptions and hob-nobbing!
Won £3.90 on the EuroMillions. Actually knocked some pins down bowling with the family.

Just mentioned “mufti days” when chatting to colleagues about being at school and they both looked at me like I’d lost the plot…tell me you know what i’m on about…
Palma, you were amazing! So grateful I got to spoil my best friend & whisk her away for a long weekend to celebrate her 40th. Proper belly laughs frm start to finish. Sun, sights, some “don’t know what we were thinking” tequila shots, sea & so much good food! Another city done ✅
Just the best time in Florence! Thanks for all the recommendations. I’m now 20% gelato, 50% aperol spritz and 30% carbs! The best time. Proper memories made with the mother 💞
Happy Mother’s Day ladies! My mom is more of a bucks fizz kinda gal than a

drinker so I’m taking one for the team because that’s the kind of daughter I am.
Popped to see the folks. Main housework jobs done. Roast prepped. And now I’ve taken the paper to the pub for a couple of pints of
@thebathams
before I finish dinner. Some excellent Sunday-ing from me tbf. Ha!
Got asked to do a Spotlight On feature for work so wrote some stuff here about me, my housing career, sector views, what my actual job is, and obviously how much I love the pitch and the pint...
Coffee was in the sunshine. Ironing was a killer. Doubling up on the hayfever tablets. Jacket potatoes in the oven. Half packed for next weeks conference but finally, I’m in the pub with a pint of

It’s here! With support, encouragement and some diary juggling (thanks to our flexi work policies) from the team
@Housemarkltd
i’m on way to my first volunteering shift! If you’re attending the
@birminghamcg22
women’s T20 cricket over the next few days, give us a wave!
Yesterday we lost a legend. This bloke, my grandad Tum, set the blueprint for what it means to be a Middleton. I’ve not known this world without you Grandad, but I’ve got so many memories i’ll make sure you’ll always be by my side. Love you. Rest easy xxx
Good news this week! Job promotion made official, w/ lots of lovely messages of support (thank you!) official, our third covid impact report shaping up nicely, three exciting customer calls completed - finding even more value frm membership & wolves are back on the tele tonight!
A collection of times me and my old man went to the football or the pub or both and documented it with a ridiculous photo - all so he can have this photo montage as a birthday prezzie. Happy birthday you old bloke xxx🧡🖤🧡
What a moment back in Stourbridge, seeing all the kids doing my celebration. 🙌
I joined them at a
@FunFootballUK
session, where children can play and enjoy the game, for free.😍
@mcdonaldsuk
are running more football sessions this month. Sign up 👉
Back to the day job today but only another fab shift volunteering last night! Spent a bit of time in the morning taking in the transformation around Brum. The branding! The bull! the buzz! I hope we can build upon this & create the legacy it deserves

Happy new year from the best venue going! Here’s to 2023! To health, happiness, hope, and heaps more decent champagne with the ones you love and laugh with. Cheers 🥂🥂🥂
Second half and normal service resumed here
@StourbridgeFC
after a tactical warm up in the bar at half time. Down 1-2 but looking much better. Still cold. Still raining. And least now I have a pint.
Who decided that Toberlone needs such a high profile presence in an airport?
Duty free absolutely rammed full. Every version. Every size. But why Toberlone? How did it happen?
Clearly delivering all the important intellectual questions before my return to work tomorrow.
Completely forgot that being a newbie means you need a decent / interesting / impressive answer to “what do you like doing in your spare time?”
I’ve gone with “pint in the local” which despite not being particularly illuminating, is very true.
Authenticity though, right?!

#housing2023
& putting myself back together after one of the busiest conferences I’ve done. A huge thank you to everyone who said hello, gave feedback, shared stories, brought me a drink, supplied me w/ endless mints & just generally made the week worth it!
In one of the worlds fastest lunch breaks I managed to vacuum the kitchen, chuck a beef madras in the oven to slow cook, make a sandwich, eat the sandwich and take delivery of new garden furniture! This living where you work thing has got me multi-tasking like no one business!
Two today and absolutely smashing life! Ella is my best friends little girl and in just two years she has shown me & many others that her dwarfism won’t ever hold her back. This girl brings all the sass and side eye and I love it! Happy birthday girl! 😍
#housing21
is going to look a little different for us this year - but a few of us are still around! Made the journey up today & finally settled and looking forward to tomorrow! Lots of lovely people to meet in real life! It’s felt like forever - & I’m cautiously excited!
I’ve just caught myself googling recommended garnish for a particular gin and I immediately needed to remind myself of the days where I would happily drink red stripe from the can at some filthy indie disco…
Proper gutted about this. Knew it was sold off and might never have been a pub there, but remember my nan and grandad taking us regularly. One of the famous “landmarks”
Aww Tum 🥰 it’s your birthday! Hope you’re celebrating up there. You would have been 93 today & there no doubt we’d be off down the pub for a pint & a cob as a family. You are bloody brilliant & have shaped who I am & continue to be. Love you grandad. Always x
And we're live! A new era for
@Housemarkltd
- more than a rebrand, this is our relaunch. I'm so proud of what we have achieved as a team over the past year & today we're finally able to reveal our plans for the future. More on time data than ever before...this is just the start..
