@HysteroscopyA @RCObsGyn @TheBSGE I am having a hysteroscopy next month. Thank the gods that my gynae consultant immediately booked me for a general anaesthetic because she knows how painful I have found cervical screening in the past. This or sedation should be an option for all women!

[Becky Protopsaltis @BProtopsaltis]

@HysteroscopyA @RCObsGyn @TheBSGE I got halfway through and couldn’t bear to listen to it. All I could hear was her concerns being casually disregarded under the guise of ‘other patients said it didn’t hurt’, and ‘we’ll have the inhaler on standby’ - why? Just give the analgesia! Poor woman, I’m angry for her.

@NoFilterSkin This, been wearing it for 3 years now and have probably been stopped once or twice a week on average, often from people just passing me on the street. My team at work say they know when I’m coming in because they can smell me 😄

@doyleysar Andy if you’re selling it once it’s done let me know x

[Anna Hamilton Art @annahamiltonart]

Lovely people, I’m having to ask for your help again and though I know it’s ok to ask for help when you need it, it still leaves me feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
Sales are at an all time low and my basic outgoings keep skyrocketing (1/4)

What a goal 🤩

@O2 my account has been locked. I was informed yesterday that it had been unlocked and my phone would be working again within 24 hours - it is not. I just want a PAC code to leave - I cannot text and I can’t sign in to my O2, it says my account is locked. Please help!!

@TheCinesthetic Absolutely chaotic 🤣

@Gibson_U_Witch @JoeBangles11 I brought 10mg tablets from the Biovea website originally because I wasn’t sure what dose I needed, I slept for 15 hours! I’m sorry you’ve had your ME for so long, I had it for several years as a teenager and can’t imagine suffering for so long.

[Becky Protopsaltis @BProtopsaltis]

@Gibson_U_Witch @JoeBangles11 I get it in the UK from the Biovea website, any more than 2mg and I can’t wake up in the morning though 😄 works a treat!

Love it.

@HumanityChad Is this the same dad and daughter? It made me think of this straight away 😊

Adorable ❤️

Song: Maroon 5 - Girls Like You (ft. Cardi B)

A dad and his little daughter are seen lip-syncing to "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5. They perform the song together with perfect timing and adorable expressions. A sweet and wholesome moment between them.

APPEAL FOR PEOPLE TO ATTEND FUNERAL OF VETERAN WHO HAS NO FAMILY 🚨💔RAF

A heartfelt appeal has been made for members of the public to attend the funeral of a 91-year-old RAF veteran who has no surviving family.

John Thomas Gray, originally from Boldon Colliery, passed away on 3 August. With no relatives left behind, only a few photographs were found among his possessions.

Mr Gray’s funeral will take place at 9am on Wednesday, 3 September, at South Shields Crematorium.

Despite his service in the Royal Air Force, no standard bearer or bugler has been made available for the service. The Royal British Legion has said they are unable to assist without Mr Gray’s regimental number.

Friends and organisers have described the situation as deeply sad and are calling on the community to come together to ensure Mr Gray does not make his final journey alone.

Richard Dalton Funerals and organiser Tracy Curren are appealing for anyone who can act as a standard bearer, particularly from the RAF, or a bugler to get in touch. Ex-service personnel and members of the public are also warmly invited to attend and pay their respects.

The message from organisers is clear: “No veteran should go on his final journey alone.”

📍 Funeral details:

Date: September 3rd (Wed)

Time: 9am

Venue: South Shields Crematorium

Contact: Richard Dalton Funerals (0191 7070770) or Tracy Curren

@aquitainexox I’m in Dorset so sadly too far away, but I hope John gets the respect he has earnt at his last goodbye. I was incredibly touched when members of my dads regiment unexpectedly came to pay their respects at his funeral.
