@beffybadbelly I spent my adult life thinking I was 6'3" and telling everyone I was 6'3" until I got measured as part of the suite of skeletal diagnosis attempts a couple of years back... And I'm 192cm, so half an inch taller than I thought 😅
I still tell fragile men that I'm 6ft though...
@HouseChambers@beffybadbelly ILC sewed them, they won the contract because they were incredibly skilled seamstresses and engineers. ILC also just happened to manufacture Playtex.
The story of these women is wonderful https://t.co/lh7sNbtuMt
@postoctobrist I dunno, I spent two hours tearing around B roads yesterday in a car with about 50bhp that cost me less than £100. Absolutely hilarious thing to drive, had a great time.
@beffybadbelly When I've lived in towns or cities I've been able to park like some kind of spacial-genius wizard... I've been back in the fuck-end of nowhere for years and get zero practice so I basically abandon the car somewhere vaguely near where I need to be.
@beffybadbelly Recovery sneaks up on you; 3 years since first becoming ill, 10 months since finally getting a diagnosis, 6 months since starting treatment... Some days it feels like nothing is different but some days I realise that I can do things again that I thought were lost to me forever.
