I was signed off with stress in my newspaper days. folk from work saw me out, reported back to my editor who called me & my union rep. swiftly told by the Dr that socialising was GOOD for stress & maybe work colleagues telling tales so eagerly was the more worrying situation….

Anna is brilliant. But that silver outfit is not disco. 🪩 not having that. #sewingbee
The irony of @drmartens ‘Not Your Average Sandal’ campaign when mine are literally peeling away after a month and the company tell me it’s just normal wear and tear. Ridiculous. The brand lives on its former reputation when now it’s just mass produced cheaply.
This is awful. As a journalist of 30+ years, shame on anyone in this profession who uses AI to write. #journalism #dontuseAItowrite
Surprised? Not at all. The two safest went through because the prize is a collab with safe and boring Next. Faux marble for the win! 🙄I didn’t love Emmely’s blue but at least she was different! This programme needs a serious shakeup. Michelle = dull. #interiordesignmasters
Baffling decision. The tree was awful. The guitar shop was brilliant. They kept going on about it not being right somehow but couldn’t explain why. Because they had no answers maybe? Because it was absolutely spot on? #interiordesignmasters
It’s worth watching this on iPlayer for the absolute insanity that is Shazia and these blended words! What was she doing?! 🤦🏼♀️🤣#BridgeOfLies
I was genuinely shocked at that elimination. That office space was way worse than the beautiful mezzanine space. What nonsense again from Michelle. #interiordesignmasters
Found myself at my mum’s, so watching this #ShiftTheThrift nonsense. Why is Joanna Page shouting?
Is Andrea actually a Victorian Lady Mary Downtown Abbey type who has time travelled into this?! I’ve never seen anyone who can’t boil or peel an egg! 🥚#TheApprentice

Nelly is like a wagyu steak and Stephen is a Rustlers burger. They are so mismatched. #mafsuk
Who is this?!
Thank you so much for all your kind birthday wishes. I genuinely mean that.
I was truly taken aback by the thousands of positive, caring messages I received across my social media platforms. Each one meant more than you’ll ever know.
Most days, I wake up and struggle to find the strength to face yet another round of government-led (“spin doctor”) lies being printed by elements of the UK press. I don’t blame journalists for doing their jobs, but I do ask that they please start getting their facts right and add some balance to their articles.
Yesterday I had a lovely birthday with my husband and our three gorgeous cocker spaniels, Rocky, Rusty, and Rory. Doug even convinced me to get dressed up, as he was taking me out for dinner. So, I got glammed up, put a smile on my face and had a fantastic night out.
I woke up this morning filled with gratitude, renewed strength, and a fierce determination to keep fighting for the truth to come to light.
Life is too short to let lies and negativity win. Thank you all for reminding me of that.
Lots of love,
Michelle 💖
This guy looked cosy this afternoon at #Wimbledon … 🤣🤣 #tennisbagsleepingbag #funnyangle #mademelaugh
Weird episode. Edinburgher here - those venues couldn’t be more different - odd to pit v each other. Guest judge didn’t like vintage vibe. Can’t believe he said Craig added wings to the guitars to make them more modern - it was a nod to flying ducks! Idiot. #interiordesignmasters
Why do these judges not know that hospitality guests don’t sit in the bloody box to watch the game! They have a premium seat in the stand for that. Ridiculous to even think they sit in the box! 🤣🤦🏼♀️ #interiordesignmasters
