Yes I know it’s sickening but the truth is I met my lovely man in my 50s and if I’m with him until the end of my life it simply won’t be long enough and that’s my only regret. How he looks after me and even my dog is beyond belief. Thankyou all for putting up with me ❤️
I was reading a tweet, a dad who brought up his kids on his own, got over 1700 likes. If I or my female friends on here who have done that said the same, wouldn’t even register 💅🏻
My mum used to phone me, she’d say ‘it’s only me’ like she didn’t matter. 30 years after her dying I honestly can’t think of anything I’d rather hear than ‘it’s only me’. I dream of hearing her voice and humble words. ❤️
My lad visited the hospice to see his dad past 3 days, it’s a 3 hour round trip and he works full time. He’s knackered. His dad totally unconscious but son doesn’t want him to die alone. His dad disappeared for 20 years but my son isn’t abandoning him, huge respect ❤️
I've just had the best news from histology. Cancer not spread to margins and out of 15 lymph nodes analysed, none had cancer. Chemo not required. Thankyou for all your love and support ❤️
My son’s dad was meant to go on a night out with his old mates, a bunch of London geezers, aged 50+ revisiting their old haunts anyway, as many of you know he died recently , but the bunch of old reprobates have invited my son along haha. I find this funny and heartwarming.
Everything is awful. But in the New Year I’m going part time at work. I’ve done that partly to reduce the Covid risk. Trouble is I can’t really afford half pay so I applied for a p/t counselling role home based. I’ve only bloody well got it, they said they liked me very much. 👍
3 years tomorrow since I posted this, Twitter friends. As many of you know he became my Sexy Baker and we’re still together ❤️ Thankyou for your support throughout xXx
She’s here ! 8lbs 12 of her. I would like to post a pic but I want to check that’s ok with parents. She’s fabulous ! Thankyou all so much for caring. ❤️
For those of you who have followed me a while and the story of my crush on the sexy baker, well it’s our 2 year anniversary today. Thankyou all for your support and encouragement, you hopeless bunch of romantics ! ❤️🥂
Twitter I’m sorry to say that me and SB are no more. God, I loved that man! But ultimately I couldn’t cure his issues and he didn’t seek help for them. I can’t say anymore but I don’t regret a single minute. What a wonderful experience ❤️💔 Love you darling 💋
People who announce ‘Twitter is not a dating site’ calm down, so many gorgeous couples met on here, they didn’t intend for it to happen, that wasn’t the reason they joined Twitter but so what ? Bloody good luck to you all ❤️
My employer letting me have 6 months off work on full pay whilst I get cancer treatment, someone will fill in for me on a temp contract. This is very good of them and a big relief. 🥰
Omg, my son been offered his job back! So happy as there’s been sod all to apply for in his field. Thankyou Twitter for your good vibes. Wonder if he’ll have to pay his severance pay back 😬
Can we just get
#LooseWomen
taken off ? It’s awful to think people imagine they actually represent most women’s views. I can’t bloody stand them, they’re thick as shit and the programme has had its day. End of rant !
I am so low but I want to tell you that suicidal ideation is very common, there is no way I would complete though not because I dont want to but simply because it would ruin my son's life and I just cant so that to him. Please dont give me advice, I work with suicidal teens xx
Thankyou for all your good wishes. I had the malignant tumour removed and the bowel resectioned. I didn't need the hysterectomy. I do have what I didn't want though ie a stoma. Surgeon tried her best. I'm just being honest about it with you. X
For those who are interested; after my meeting with consultant last week, she has arranged for my surgery to be with her and it's next week ! Not only that, but an absolute rock star of a consultant specialising in gynae and oncology will be present too. Both are brilliant!
Imagine being over 50 but your relationship is not about ‘companionship’ but about passion, love, heartbreak, intensity. Like being a teenager but with added knowledge, experience and skills.I’m telling you it’s so possible and I’m living proof ❤️
Both my mum and my brother died on 17 Feb, years apart. I usually make a joke about how I’m going to be extra careful today but don’t feel like it at the moment.
Quick update. So had colonoscopy on Sat, colon cancer detected, referred for urgent CT scan which I’ve had today ! No messing. I’m still working and not in pain. Thankyou dear Twitter xXx
I don’t know about you but I wake up in the mornings feeling fine then after about 10 seconds I remember this awful situation we’re in and a wave of sadness, loss and foreboding takes over. ( sorry that was gloomy, I’ll stop all that now! )
I hate this govt so much, I’m probably going to lose my account from abusing them! It’s the lying, conniving, hypocritical, criminal nature of them. Cummings said it was ok for old people to die, a major advocate of herd immunity. Fuck them all.
3 years ago today after weeks of flirting, much encouragement from you, a strategy meeting with my son and advice from a male Twitter friend I bravely asked this question to SB, ‘so when are you going to ask me out?’ I held my breath, expecting a knock back but no ! 🥰
My boy has met up with his terminally ill dad and his dad has just told him that the time he spent with me was the happiest of his life, my son says this is quite nice to hear. These next few months are going to be difficult Twitter friends and I apologise in advance xx
SB and me went our separate ways at end of January due to things he needed to sort out. Today we met up and spoke about how much we loved and missed eachother. I don’t think we are over. There’s just too much love there ❤️
Son went for final stage interview on Friday, today recruiter emailed asking him to ring him as he had ‘feedback’ we assumed the worst but no he’s got the job, phew ! 👍
Twitter friends, just wanted to be clear that I don’t need further treatment for the colon cancer as it hadn’t spread so the surgery sorted it. I don’t want to be all smug and celebratory as many people haven’t had the all clear so sensitivity needed. I haven’t done anything
When your OH is suffering from depression and feeling worthless all you can really do is be supportive, understanding, constant, undemanding, that you love them whatever and won’t walk away because things are difficult ❤️
Barry Cryer said he was chatting to an old fella who had worked as a toilet attendant in the gents. He said so much sex went on in there that ‘when someone came in for a shit, it was like a breath of fresh air’ haha
A word about my Twitter friends. Got home from hospital and my kitchen and fridge full of all the things I can eat. Also flowers and mags. Then today another arrived with her food processor ! Made me a lovely dinner, soups for freezer and is staying over tonight to check on me 🩷
Imagine thinking Twitter friendships are meaningless. What if the last person you spoke to in your life was a Twitter friend ? Maybe the friends we meet on here are more important than we realised. Love to my Twitter friends ❤️
I’ve made no secret of the fact I’ve not felt as happy living in Brighton since my relationship ended and I’m returning there today from my son’s in London but we are making plans for me to move here and it means a lot my DiL really wants that. I will get my own place btw !
Twitter friends, I have had a momentous day. Not only am I buying a lovely little place but I have been booked in to have my surgery locally with my fantastic surgeon who did my cancer op. It’s in 12 days time !!! X
No prison for Tom Meighan, seems you can beat up your girlfriend in front of a child and just be given community service. Let’s take ‘domestic’ out of it. This was a violent assault. I can tell you from personal experience that child will never forget it
I’ve been job sharing since January. I’ve really loved doing less hours at work, I feel more energy, interest, patience, less stressed. It was on a trial basis though. Today I’ve found out that this is going to be permanent 🎉
This app gets slated so much and many have left but for me it has been an actual lifeline. Since my cancer diagnosis I’ve had offers of help, to care for me, to help financially, I’ve had visitors bearing gifts, so many messages of love and support. The love is giving me strength
My boy text me in the night with symptoms, achey, light headed shivery, headache, tickly cough. He’s on his own in a flat in London. I’ve been a lone parent to this boy from the start. It’s so hard for me not to rush up there and look after him. ☹️
My son said ‘thankyou for everything mum’. He shudders to think how things would have turned out without my protection and stability. If this sounds like I’m patting myself on the back, well yes I am for once.
19 years ago today my fiancé handed me a letter, it explained how he couldn’t go through with our wedding 3 weeks later. Venue booked, dress bought, invites sent. It wasn’t the humiliation though but the heartbreak that the relationship was over. Today I’m so happy that happened.
Today I had the most gut wrenching heartache as I saw my recent ex and love of the past 4 and half years with his new woman. She was blonde with a little dog. I’m just saying. Don’t want sympathy, I’ve just put my mascara on and I’m off out. Me and Molly can’t be replaced 💅🏻
Just got into a taxi and he’s locked the doors. Now I know this isn’t a big deal but women are a bit on edge at the moment and even this small thing triggers nervousness and acute awareness. We have to think in advance, play out scenarios, come up with exit strategies.
So today I met with my son and his dad (outside) you know I said he’s terminally ill. My son requested it. Oh God, he looks about 70, so thin with a distended stomach due to his liver cancer. I don’t think he’s got long at all, but we shared some memories 💔
Twitter friends, I had the fluoroscopy done. Not painful. My letter said I wouldn't get results on the day, but the radiographer said,' Well, this all looks fine ' such lovely staff and excellent news x
When I was a small child, I witnessed my mum's nose being broken, my dad didn't do it, my oldest psychopath of a brother did. I remember the ambulance arriving. His violence wasn't a one off, rarely is and we lived in fear of him. Glad the mad bastard died young.

Love Twitter, the silliness, the fun here. People are of course taking CV very seriously, we’re all shit scared, we’re just trying to get through this. Laughing is our coping mechanism but shouldn’t be taken as a sign of irreverence/ lack of concern imo xx
Bowel cancer' I really felt for her as she is only in her 20s, but I was able to reassure her so much, having been through the same. We have the same consultant who is brilliant
We spent ages talking and even caught the bus together. I felt our meeting was meant to be 🧡
I'm not someone who gets over people quickly at the end of a relationship, you may have noticed ! But I'm starting to feel like myself again, I often used to do things on my own including holidays abroad. This week Im going for lunch and cinema alone, baby steps but getting there
The surgeon who did my cancer surgery has also done the stoma reversal. Today I said ' I bloody love you ' and she said ' same' with a big smile on her face. Wonderful !
Oh Twitter, I've had a difficult day. Bowel cancer confirmed, my son in bits as the doc explained things to him. He said it's the worst news he's ever had. Dreading telling my sister x
My son just been told his dad is in a hospice, he’s not conscious. Son checked when he was last on WhatsApp and it was Tuesday am. He says he wants a hug from me as he’s really upset and I can’t even do that. These are truly awful times.
Don’t feel bad if you didn’t spot the signs of suicide, for many it’s a spontaneous,impulsive act. I deal with this professionally. Don’t just be kind to others, be kind to yourselves ❤️
