Gobsmacked beyond belief. A last minute call up to compete for @TeamWales at the Commonwealth Games next week. Dreams really do come true!

Nursing is weird because one minute I’m looking after a toe amputation and the next I’m in the tea room tucking into tuna pasta. Proper grim really init.

@RNLI I can’t wait to see the photo! 🥰

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Off to London to the National Maritime Museum to see the 200 years of the RNLI exhibition! Quite surreal to be going to see a photo of yourself in a museum 🤣

I love tea time conversation with Gus…
“Have you had a good day today kiddo?”
“No”
“Oh, why’s that?”
“Poo” *fart noises*

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Yeah, he’s definitely my kid 🤣🧁

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

@dannythoro You were so fantastic!! Loved supporting you all the way round ❤️❤️

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Just so amazed by this guy really. Not sure many people could have run round that course 2.5 years after a major, life changing stroke. But yeah, my dad can 🤩🎉

What a brilliant, fun, mud-filled day of traws gwlad 🥰

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Grateful to the team at @mawwfire & @GorsafS for their speedy response today after my washing machine started smoking and sparking! 🙈 amazing team and made one little boys day at the same time as making sure we were safe 🤩

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Probs cus I’m actually just not cut out to be a nurse to be honest but we’ll skip that bit cus I literally cannot do anything else 🙈

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Does anyone else have this horrendous ‘going to work anxiety’ type thing that sets in the evening before a work day? Like I genuinely have so much anxiety around work, it can’t be healthy 😭😭😭

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Parenting is weird because one day, you’re kinda cool and the next, you’re taking photos of your kids first wee on the potty

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

@LindaGilder This is fantastic. Gus would have loved a Bakewell tart for dinner! He had to put up with cheesy pasta, it’s all I could muster the energy for 🙈 thank you!

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Parenting when poorly is, well, bloody hard 🤣 Grateful to fireman Sam and Bluey for doing a significant amount of parenting for me the last few days 😩🙈

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Holiday mode = activated ☀️ living here is GREAT 🥰

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

Today has taken extra long to get ready because I had an argument with Gus about the fact he couldn’t get into the washing machine. Cue a 10 minute tantrum, crocodile tears and all 🤣 #toddlerlife

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

A stranger commented today on how steady Gus was walking around on the prom and ohhhh gosh my little heart went because I’m so proud of my little clubbie when I honestly thought at one point he’d never walk 🥲🥲

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

But the boys have gone off on a coast path adventure for the morning and I’m heading to #parkrun on my own… it feels so weird!

[Elinor Thorogood @eli_teee]

I’m wearing shorts to run in for the first time in 8 years and I’m not sure how I feel about having so much leg on show, these legs are NOT designed to be on show 🤣🤣🤣
