Musician, and mom to a dancing, musical, cricket loving daughter…old gold and black runs through my veins….x these are my thoughts and generally gibberish.

Very excited to see my old and slightly bewildered knees on #SkiSunday today. @theskimojo is a super cool piece of kit. Thanks @ChemmySki and @snowedleigh for making me smile this evening.

@LiamKeen_Star Last time I checked it wasn’t April 1st. Feels like it though.

Last live game of the summer for us! Had to finish with a flourish @thehundred with a bit of @CricketNotchers coloured pen scoring. #londonspirit #OvalInvincibles @ECB_cricket @HerGameToo @SkyCricket @Cricket_Debs

Took the child out for dinner, ended up @TGIFridays Braintree. Underwhelmed is the most positive I can be. The whole place was sticky. The food was so long in arriving that we ended up asking for take out boxes. What started out as a fun treat, ended up as cold chips in the car.

@JacobLunn11 @SomCountySports @QDOS_cricket @club_winscombe Congrats! Take a copy of the scorebook! One for the wall! May it be the first of many!

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@HGTCricket Always a good day at cricket, especially international cricket

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

She’s been back at it! @CricketNotchers @HGTCricket @TheBarmyArmy @englandcricket @EssexCricket

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

Cricket people in my phone-can we start a conversation about how cricket whites are sold as unisex,but what do girls who have hips,waist and curves do for a comfortable confident fit? This isn’t a rant, more a plea for help! @ECB_cricket @CastoreEngland @TheBarmyArmy @HGTCricket

@WolgarstonSA @WolgarstonHigh @HandsatWork @Lichfield_CofE Looks amazing. Elle - I’m so jealous! X

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

Honestly, why we continue to shop with @currys makes my mind boggle.

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@LaurieDalrymple There are two good things about this season…Nuno has his smile back and Raul is scoring again…sad that neither are in a gold shirt though.

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@KirstieMAllsopp How do they differentiate between independent schools and academy trusts? the argument is not a fair one. I pay my paye towards state education. I choose not to state educate my child, can I claim back what I’ve paid in for the last 7 years?

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@statto95 We have retired the yellow pen already 🤣
This score box was particularly comfortable! But noted. We might have to ask Father Christmas for a special cushion. 😉
Thanks!

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

Well that summer of cricket came to as damp an end as it started! Our Isla has had an absolute blast this summer, playing, watching, scoring…I’ve loved every second being a “cricket” mom…now it’s time for the wellies and thermals as hockey goalkeeper mom.

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@Sunriserscrick Amazing! Congratulations!!!🥳

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@AndyThurogood @CricketNotchers Thank you for everything you’ve done for Isla this summer too! She’s gone into school campaigning for a cricket officiating club!

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@grannyallan_val @bbctms Scratch that third of the cost stuff. £10 for two adults to get in. Bought food and beer. Whole game for £50 including travel. Cracking evening!

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

@grannyallan_val @bbctms Totally agree. We’ve done lords a few times, it’s just so unaffordable these days. Ridiculous prices for even a kids ice cream. Going to Essex tomorrow evening to watch the girls in a T20 instead. It’s not the same, but will cost about a third!

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

I’ve been to hundreds of gigs and never felt this ripped off before actually spending my money.

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

And there are resale sites selling the tickets I want at £6k each. Obvs not paying that, because I’m a normal person and not an idiot. Well the latter is debatable as I’ve sat looking at screens for over 6 hrs and am no where near having a ticket.

[Helen CouslandOnions @Cousy1976]

I’d really like to believe that @liamgallagher and @NoelGallagher will sort these shitty resale sites out in an old school kinda way. Because I’ve sat on this chair since 6.30am, with 7 different devices, attempting to get tickets, 6 1/2 hrs later I’m still 54833 in the queue…
