@Gurdas2209 @SikhPA@itvnews I am so very sorry you’ve been through this and yet still battling in hospital. Sending much strength. Hopefully you can find a lawyer who can help you with hospital too.
Dear @lizzo I love you, I want to see you, but damn, you know there is a cost of living crisis in the UK! Though might be cheaper than my electricity bill 🤦🏽♀️🤣
