So today after 3 attempts, 2 admins errors (voiding my first two attempts), 18 months of back and forth with evidence it’s finally official 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I have two ideas for new world records this year but I wanna know….. what do you think should be next?

I’ve been thinking a lot these last 24hrs!
For someone to break into anyone’s car and steal from them is wrong. To break into a disabled persons car makes me think that the thief was desperate and I’m going to assume (rightly or wrongly) that they’re life’s in a bad place and they’re down on their luck, HOWEVER what I will say is this…
We may not always be responsible for our situations in life and it may not always be our fault when we’re down on our luck BUT… it is ALWAYS our responsibility to pull ourselves up and make our lives better (internally & externally).
Whoever you are that broke into my car I hope that if you are down on your luck that things change. Draw a line in the sand, take personally responsibility for your life, pull yourself up and take your life to where you want it to be 🦾🦾🦾
THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA!
So on my way out of London tonight I checked my emails and DM’s and had messages from a woman who said she’d found my stuff just after 8pm last night in an alley by her house and somehow saw my social media post about it!!!
I now have everything back 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you so much for all your lovely messages. We had the most perfect day. It was a tiny wedding but so romantic and intimate. A day we will never forget. We are bursting with happiness. It wasn’t a ‘secret’ wedding, just a private one ❤️❤️❤️xxx
Really sad to hear Wilf Lunn has died. I loved him on TV as a kid, and when I discovered his website in 2010-ish, I sent him an e-mail and asked if he'd fancy doing a phone interview on my old BBC Tees show. He was every bit as charming and funny as you'd expect, and then... 1/7
🎄Sleigh bells ring!🎄Were you listening? Out with a bang! 🎉
Grateful to @bbcpointswest for the invitation to be part of this year's Christmas calendar rundown, and a special thanks to the delightful @LizBeacon for the warm and joyous interview.
