“Likes” are not always me agreeing with a statement, I use this to help save tweets as it is easier to then review alternative POV and find articles.

Selling two seated Lewis Capaldi tickets for Newcastle tonight. Really good seats, block 102, row D. E-Tickets that can be transferred quickly. I’ve woken up with the lurgy and won’t be able to go - please just message 🙂 #LewisCapaldiTickets #Newcastle

@piersmorgan @champneys I can’t remember the last time she went to a spa, she would be mortified at me even posting this as she doesn’t think she does anything special. I think she’s the most incredible person I’ve ever met. #PiersXmasHeroes

@piersmorgan @champneys I’d like to nominate my incredible Mam. She cared for my sister for 19 years, gave up her career no hesitation. My sister died in April. I have never known such a selfless woman, even now she is still going above and beyond. Volunteering as a first responder, and caring for me…

@sianlrn Or. Go completely left field. Barista. Just chat to nice people about their days and drink coffee til your brain can process the past few years!

[Nicola @nicolahv]

@sianlrn You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do, but this is SO sad. You’re an incredible teacher. I’m seeing it happen with nurses too, it’s not your fault. Put yourself first. Have you ever considered private pre-prep and prep school? More funding. Less students…

@ash_flay @Fiona29 @chrisshipitv @julie_etch @ShelaghFogarty I had the same when my sister died in April, it's awful!

The fact @thehuwedwards is in the studio and wearing a black tie doesn’t bode well.

I can’t even imagine Britain without this Queen.
Very unsettling day.

[Nicola @nicolahv]

God Save the Queen. No matter your views on the monarchy, she has reigned with dignity and stability and has been an example to us all. 2022 has been a dreadful year, I hope this isn’t the end for her but I fear it is.

[Nicola @nicolahv]

Well. I started it Thursday “just one chapter, just try.” and I couldn’t put it down! Finished it today. I wish I could tell you how hopeful I feel right now, and how thankful I truly am. Your books are wonderful, and I really hope you’re working on some more 🤞🏻💖thank you Stacey

[Nicola @nicolahv]

@stacey_halls thank you for getting me back into reading. As a child I got through my physical disability by losing myself in magical worlds, I can’t tell you how many books I read. It got me through the endless hospital stays, the bullying & the lonely weekends in the house (1/3

[Nicola @nicolahv]

9 years. Well… It started with The Familiars, my first book in 9 years. It was slow and somehow I made it to the end. I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a fluke, I put off reading Mrs England. Scared I wouldn’t be able too. Worried I didn’t deserve to read a book etc.

[Nicola @nicolahv]

she made the experience as easy as she could for me, not once did she make me feel like a "problem" or that I was wasting her time. I have cPTSD related to hospitals, and thanks to her, I actually feel like coming in for my surgery will be a possibility now. Thank you!!

[Nicola @nicolahv]

@NewcastleHosps @JackieDanielNHS after a very rocky time with the NHS recently, I cannot shout loudly enough about the compassionate, patient-centred care I received in Pre-Assessment at the Freeman the other week by nurse Natalie Roy. She genuinely cared about my worries, (1/2)

[Nicola @nicolahv]

It’s not even that I don’t want to sleep, I desperately want/need to sleep. My mind just won’t stop, my body won’t settle, I’m exhausted but it’s like if I stop, for even a second, something terrible will happen. It’s even fighting through sleeping tablets. I hate my brain today.

[Nicola @nicolahv]

It’s been 2 years and 3 weeks since I insomnia during a hospital admission. 5am and I am still awake. I’ve been awake since Saturday morning bar a 40 minute cat nap Monday morning. This is the worst flare up I’ve had in a while and I don’t even know what day it is anymore. 🙃

@Neuro_Therapist @Uni_of_Essex @siaaany I am not sure if you may have seen this or not? Please forgive me if you're not interested or you don't want to talk about it. It just made me think of you, you wonderful woman x

[Nicola @nicolahv]

@TheRAC_UK the mechanic who just came out to me about an hour ago to High St in Sunderland was the most pleasant, helpful guy I have ever met. I didn’t catch his name but he was brilliant, an absolute credit to you all.

[Nicola @nicolahv]

@EnvoyRmi Your speech in the plenary was brilliant and impassioned, you care so much about your islands and you were a fierce force! Since hearing this, I have gone away and researched how climate change will impact your islands, I am shocked. I really hope we can all do more for you all.
