Affiliate marketer. Probably unemployable. Coffee is my saviour.

@carlhendy Good luck! Hope you've got your cyclone party supplies in.

@GeoffKennedy It's ridiculous! I'm generally OK if I just get a quiet half hour with coffee to set out a mental plan. Interruption during that time tho... deadly!

Garage is too easy. I'm moving house 😆

Trying to regain work routine, but struggling. My mother has formed a habit of walking into my house / office with no warning. I have terrible concentration, and just as I pulled together some thoughts today she said "HELLO!!"

Didn't hear her coming. Brain has imploded😵‍💫

@johnnyratcliffe Glad you got your op Johnny, your clarity and drive is amazing. I'll be following along with you.

@redbarrington It was an absolute blur and I don’t think we will ever get our heads round what happened. But he got amazingly well looked after. We’ve been so lucky ❤️

(1/2) Been MIA. This was advanced bowel cancer & had spread to his liver, lymph nodes, and lower stomach. Chemo resistant, and resectability marginal. 😱

Miraculously, he's been cancer free since last August. He had an unusually strong response to Immunotherapy then surgery.

Husband is home again after 5 days in hospital.

He's now banned from speaking to anyone responsible for triage in future. Downplaying an intestinal bleed to NHS 111 did not end well for him (or me!!).

He's in trouble when he feels better. 🫥

@danbarker Thanks Dan, we were stunned when they told us he’d had a complete response to treatment. We aren’t going to waste a minute of the time we’ve now got together!

[Kirsty McCubbin @AffiliateStuff]

@JustinOGale Thanks Justin, it's been vile but we're just relieved he got that result. It'll be a slow return to work in 2025 for me!

[Kirsty McCubbin @AffiliateStuff]

@johnnyratcliffe Oh gosh, that's utterly awful. I know you'll have had a painful time of it with a bowel blockage. My husband had a week in hospital with that at one point. Has it resolved? A shit coincidence indeed!!

[Kirsty McCubbin @AffiliateStuff]

@MathewCoUk Thank you, 2024 can very much get in the bin!

[Kirsty McCubbin @AffiliateStuff]

@rickyjwillis Nothing like a massive core update to age you 1,000 years 😂

[Kirsty McCubbin @AffiliateStuff]

@rickyjwillis Looks good!🤞

@carlhendy GC Hinterland??

I'm pretty pleased with this small project (scratching an itch) that I built whilst building something awesome for LW.

Check it out and have a play.

[Kirsty McCubbin @AffiliateStuff]

@carlhendy I can hear that beach. Sigh.

[Kirsty McCubbin @AffiliateStuff]

@rickyjwillis There's always a path forward, but it can indeed take time to find it! My site was very badly affected, but Bing loves it so there's quite a bit of scope there for me. I'm looking at a small ecommerce project first though. Time for some new ideas. Good luck.

@SkintDad We used to menu plan, saved a literal fortune. Now I'm to be found every day at 4pm, foraging in desperation within the aisles of Aldi. I also get my "Asda big shop" on a Friday. Not a space in the freezer, no meals anywhere.

I'm available for hire as a lifestyle journalist. 😆
