@charliersmith1 My cat Scarlett, who has helped heal our hearts just a little since losing our husband and Daddy. ❤ Sending love x

@shitscaredmum @LondonMarathon My husband Oliver, 15/4/1980- 27/2/2023. Taken 7 months after diagnosis of GBM4 xx

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@shitscaredmum Yes, it is absolutely horrendous and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Hopefully one day no-one will ever have to go through it again x

@Bookishcrick You're welcome, I have a love of non-fiction and poetry, so I will be back again! I want to start using my phone less....ironically, it has helped me find you, so for tonight, my scrolling has not been pointless! 😊

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@1LostWithoutHer I keep all of my husband's clothed just in case he comes back. I know he won't but I hope he will. There is no end to the feelings of sadness I have. It is pretty rubbish but we get on with it. Sending love to you on your journey x

@geraintjohn_ I relented and allowed someone else to help this year. It hurt my pride slightly but they needed wrapping! Hope you are done soon so you aren't too tired for the big reveal tomorrow, and that you all have as peaceful a Christmas as possible. Nadolig Llawen x

@babybeginner It really gets on my nerves seeing people disappointed by these crass gender reveals. (I have to say disproportionately towards daughters!) I hate them anyway but to show such disdain for the lovely baby you are carrying is disgraceful.

@IanDunt Be patient enough to try out the producers actual gem that is Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. Lots of hidden jokes clearly directed at adults and an inept mayor who looks like Boris Johnson. All of our family watched it...even without kids around! 😆

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@Disco_Stooo_ @SoozUK I remember the original number without the extra 1! When did that come in? I remember it happening to all local codes but don't know when it happened!

God bless this woman. She knows what community is all about. ❤

@DGlaucomflecken I try not to complain about anything to do with getting old, my husband was a healthy 42 Yr old, taken by glioblastoma 6 months after diagnosis. My daughters always pull me up on moaning about getting old, saying their Daddy never got the chance. Embrace old age if you get there

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@wundt_vil Literally said this yesterday. Look at a clip where he looks at the screen to see if he is on it after shouting out while he knits! Sooooo annoying!

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@HMRCcustomers It was the number on the letter 03002003300. I also sent a message several weeks ago which has remained unanswered. I sent both requested forms earlier this year in the same envelope but it is saying one has not been received.

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

Hey @HMRCgovuk do you have a phone number I can ring that I get to speak to somebody regarding my late husband's tax return which you are saying I didn't return but have and now my fines are building by the day? I tried the number on the letter and it just cuts off! Thanks!

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@geraintjohn_ I was telling everyone last week that Thierry Henry was on the cards! 😅

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@BeardedGenius Just shows how much impact chatting to your baby has! I was once chatting to one of my girls when they were a baby in a shop and a man's asked me why I was talking to her when she couldn't reply or understand. THIS is why! It's never too early to talk to your babies xx

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@geraintjohn_ A great piece of advice. Nothing makes my girls smile more than seeing their Daddy on video. Wish I had been more organised...I thought we had more time. I am thankful we live in an age where we take constant pics of what seem like silly things at the time but are now so precious

[Anna Smurthwaite @AnnaSmurthwaite]

@geraintjohn_ My daughter asked for breakfast this morning, she told me she should have been having a fry up with Daddy, but as she can't, he would want her to have her 2nd choice. And that was chicken noodles. I'm sure Oli would have approved 🥲
