@peachy_chels Because money and fame can buy your way out of anything unfortunately.

@British_Airways staff closed check in desks & bag drop at least 8 minutes early yesterday (Dallas). Flight missed! No physical BA staff in airport over 12 hours later. Customer phone support says we were a no show. Photo and video evidence proves otherwise.

Early brunch before heading off to learn more about local gin and wine making. Naturally tasting was included ⁦@SilentPoolGin⁩ ⁦@AlburyVineyard⁩

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

So smug about the fact I wasn’t going to spend the whole of the long weekend drinking… 8 gins later🙈 @SilentPoolGin on a sunny day is basically a law though, right?

Hands down one of the most useful tweets I’ve read … and proves that social media can have a more useful purpose than just sharing photos of your dinner 😂

12 websites that've helped* me immensely as a writer🧵

I can officially now say we are getting married next month! Thankfully it’s at the end of June though so I still have 8 weeks to eat dust and get into the dress 😂. Hope the sun shines for us @global_geoff

I want to be a famous author, a lottery winner and while I’m at it, I want mini eggs to contain minus calories and help with weight loss 😂. Come on then law of attraction… do your work! 🤞🏻

[The Secret @thesecret]

Whether your thoughts are about the way your life is now or the way you want it to be, the law of attraction is responding to those thoughts.

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

@thecreativepenn Definitely. I’d been convinced traditional publishing was the way to go but now I’m not so sure… feeling tentatively excited for what the future holds under my own control 😃

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

I missed #thewriterssummit due to my poorly old dog, but with under an hour until the online access is taken down, I’ve gained a whole new perspective on independent publishing thanks to @thecreativepenn. Who knew something other than gin could make a Friday night fabulous 🤣

#NewProfilePic #17yearolddog I’m obsessed with this photo. Pig may be 17 but look how cute he is. Senior dogs are just the best 😍.

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

@miss_jmwest Have you seen the footage from Leicester Square earlier? Disgusting behaviour.

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

@Rowan_Lawton @JuliaChurchill The tweet I needed to see while waiting for my lucky break 🤞🏻. Thank you both for posting and sharing!

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

@HurtwoodPark at Hooves & Grooves but what I really want to know is whether there is any update on the injured horse? Was it as bad as it looked?

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

@global_geoff 😮😮😮

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]

@global_geoff A city break!!! 😉

[Lauren Dyckes @wordsfromsmith]
