@BeccaMacKinnon @BritMums Horrible isn’t it? I feel like my face has aged about 10 years since having my son but my hands are a whole other level! I could be a hand model for an 80 year old 👵🏻

@jo_elvin @lisajourno If you don’t need to be in cbd (centre), we stayed at The Chee, Bondi - it’s studio apartments rather than a hotel but decent, around £100 a night for a double. (A hostel we stayed in near central station cost £80! And it stank of chips...)

THIS BOOK COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Well, it changed mine. Here’s an article singing the praises of @MatthewHussey’s dubiously-titled tome https://t.co/JJL32jGKyD #blogandbeyond #30plusblogs #bloggerstribe

[Laura O'Donnell @TheLauraOD]

I wrote something for @HuffPostUK about quitting booze, and how it’s made me realise how warped our views on sobriety are. Why do we care so much about what other folks are drinking anyway? You do you babe https://t.co/F0JWdcJO9H

[Laura O'Donnell @TheLauraOD]

@pauladennan Thank you @pauladennan - hopefully attitudes towards sobriety ARE changing but it’s still often frowned upon, isn’t it? So strange when you think about it! Who cares what’s in someone else’s glass??! X

[Laura O'Donnell @TheLauraOD]

My latest Hull Daily Mail column includes a mention of the fabulous new cafe @BeanNothingness - where you can get delicious local coffee and admire the delicious local shoes of the legendary @peter_levy x @hulllive

[Bean & Nothingness @BeanNothingness]

Just about sums us up, thank you for the kind words @Lauraod ❤❤❤ and @peter_levy shoe's get a mention again 😍

[Laura O'Donnell @TheLauraOD]

@BeanNothingness @Lauraod @peter_levy Haha you are very welcome - hope to pop in later for a brew, and to admire @peter_levy's shoes of course x

[Laura O'Donnell @TheLauraOD]

@LostHanFound @HuffPost Thank you @LostHanFound! X

[Laura O'Donnell @TheLauraOD]

@jstapfinator @frankenkristi Ah thank you @jstapfinator - interesting that it’s not just in ‘booze Britain’ then! X
