    Just about back down to Earth now. What an evening!!

    Heard some sad news at tea time that a friend has passed away at just 45 years old. It really shook me up. So young and so sad.

    Then Martin showed the whole interview on his programme, so I am completely outed now :rotfl:. No more MSE anonymity!! The feedback has all been very positive on FB and Twitter, from both those I know and those I don’t. No one has said I look a moose :rotfl:. I even had FB messages from Martin himself so I’m a happy bunny :money:. MiL isn’t too happy about it, but all the rest of the family have said they are proud so that’ll do me Xx

    *Lurker Alert*

    I have been reading your diary for years but don’t think I have ever commented before.

    I have just watched on catch up and can confirm that my eyes are also leaking. What an amazing lady you are! You came across brilliantly and really will be an inspiration to many. Be proud and I am sure MIL will get over herself ;)

    So sorry about your friend too :cry:

    I saw your interview on Martin's show PLMBL and wondered if it was you. Well done.
