Victoria Mills I am astounded at how many months of emails you can ignore in your position when your local SE London Twins Club was promised community funding. #ghosted #PleaseRT #Saveourtwinclub

This is so powerful…

And all before our eyes.

Being a woman can be hard wherever you are, but this #InternationalWomensDay I’ve been checking my privilege - my privilege in knowing that my children are safe in their home with bellies full. Woman can withstand so much, but they shouldn’t have to withstand this #CeasefireNOW

In other news, I've just had a pain-free #SmearTest where I felt totally in control. Ladies, get tested, and if anyone wants to commission me to write a piece on how smears should be done ahead of #InternationalWomensDay2024 then I'm right here 👋

Last night, my mum asked me to send some photos of my brother & my children to put up in her new house but it was very sad and triggering. He looks so ill in all of them and yet he made me feel as though I was betraying him any time I raised it #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek

Sheesh, I haven’t even officially started back at work yet this year and I have already lost one of my main clients.
On the flip side, I am planning to use the spare time to finally get my book proposal written. #amwriting #freelancer #freelancing
