Exactly six months on and two stone lighter. Cannot stress this enough: if you’re happy with your body then be happy, whatever shape or size you are. But when making a change makes you feel good, change itself is good. And if I can do it, literally anybody can.

Ireland bans flights from the UK, which means I’ll be having Christmas in Glasgow this year. Will be exercising, watching movies and eating my body weight in chocolate. Keeping the head down and the spirits up, lucky in lots of ways. Let’s keeping muddling through somehow...

THREAD: The vast vast majority of “broadcast critical” staff are people who work behind the scenes, and rarely get a shout-out for keeping the show on the road in these difficult times. So here’s just a few folks who deserve a socially distant clap on the back.

Sickened by the online abuse that colleagues are getting on a daily basis. Journalists are eating and sleeping nothing but Covid right now and it can take a toll. They cannot shut off the news - it’s their job to report it & they aren’t immune from the distress of this pandemic.

Have you had a dodgy phone call from a fraudster claiming to be from HMRC? You are not alone, as HMRC say they responded to 340,303 reports of phone scams last year. #TheNine ’s Consumer Affairs Correspondent @nick_sheridan received one of these calls and this is how it went.
