Happy News
My daughter has been trying to get a part time/weekend job paid or voluntary for ages, over a year. She has had quite a few interviews but once people meet her or she states her disabilities, she always gets turned down.
Today I took her for an interview & she’s been offered a voluntary job in the local Cats Protection League shop, she’s so happy

I’m awake as my darling child has been since 4.45 🥲
I voted given up on guessing this time
We’re having a bit of a shitty time on hols. Lady who cleans our house messaged me some pictures saying ‘did you leave your house like this’ when someone has clearly broken in and trashed our house. They took sentimental jewellery, nothing valuable (because I don’t own anything valuable 🥲) bastards ++

Congratulations to the new mums to be. What lovely news 
Glad Della’s Little Fella is on the mend and how wonderful for you to hear him say Mum for the first time. I bet that more than makes up for missing your holiday.
Hope the trolls and de-railers have had their trouble making fix now.

I have had the worst weekend ever at work. I don’t think I can say exactly what happened as it’s fairly outing and these threads get a lot of attention but it looks like one of my staff may pass away after she collapsed at work on Saturday night. Two of us had to put our cpr skills to the test (thank god for our training!) and she made it to hospital but it doesn’t look good. She’s a lovely lady. Only 43. Three young kids. Just awful. I’ve just been catching up on the thread as a distraction between tea and chats with my team tonight. Had to come in to work to fill in forms and take statements and feel more like a counsellor than boss lady. I think our team have achieved a grand total of 0 work tonight but I don’t care, we’ve drank lots of tea and talked through Saturday and I’d rather they went home feeling ok than get their workload done but go home with it all bottled up on a personal note having to do cpr was really traumatic after losing my nephew so I’m quite shaken up, going to take a few days off after tonight and spend them with my boyfriend

Guys guys, I can't say how I know but I know tonight's lottery numbers. I have no reason to lie but please believe me and trust my word.
I just need you all to send me a tenner and I will set up a syndicate and then when we win and my source pays out the money, I will definitely send you your share of the winnings.
OK, who's in?

First time posting on this thread, but have been a long time lurker and have followed for a long time.
I have always thought that LL is guilty and, like so many others, felt even more strongly that she is on hearing the evidence the prosecution put forward and then LL giving evidence.
About me:
- I am not ginger (although was for a brief period when I used Sun-In)
- The one time I tried to attend the trial, I found out on arriving in Manchester that court was not sitting (I live near Oxford!)
- BNE moment for me was “Held in confidence? In a bin bag at your garage?”
- I mainly shop for food at M&S (only because I have a discount card and I’m not boujee at all)
- I would never eat Turkish Delight
- Dinner tonight is left over Indian from last night
- I think there will be a verdict this week
Finally, I know that it has been said SO many times and you may all be bored of reading this, but this thread is full of the most wonderful people and you have built up such a community. What I love about it is the support that you give each other and I can only thank you all for all the insights, debates, humour and warmth and support you have given.

I was thinking about it last night, thinking about the jurors. They must be mentally exhausted. Its not just all the information they're dealing with, the pressure of getting it right and the hours going through all the details but it's the subject matter isn't it?
How many times did we have to put our phones down and stop reading? Go for a walk, get lost in our work or in my case have a brew and 6 biscuits just to switch off from those heartbreaking details and the harrowing pictures our minds created. They don't have that luxury do they?
They're living and breathing this shit, they'll know more about the case than we ever will and then to top it off there might be some conflict between them.
So I'm not going to kick off at 4pm if they leave. I'm not going to call them motherfuckers again. I'm going to wait patiently and thank my lucky stars that I'm not them.

I facetimed his dad and he wouldn't say it again but tears were just streaming down both our faces. It gives us a little bit of hope 
I text my daughter and all my closest friends and then had to come to tell you lot.
Ahhh my little champ. It sounded absolutely wonderful. He's got himself a deep voice haha

Well, I've been on Tattle 4 years and I've never used the ignore button but today's the day.
• random poster/s who clearly stalk the thread daily and pop up occasionally when they think they have big balls to post insults and derogatory comments

I'm guessing your pal has been given a reporting ban? But they came straight to you to come straight to a gossip site.Thanks for understanding, they’d have no reason to lie, and neither would I.
No hate, I just think it's shitty. And honestly you're sailing very close to contempt of court and fucking up the case completely. If there's a reporting ban it's there for a reason.
You've posted on this thread twice and both times have been to pass on gossip from your reporter pal. I'm not about that at all.
And I wouldn't trust you or your big gobbed pal as far as I could throw you

You are such a doll Della, so considerate, I don’t mind talking about it at all,
. Chemo starts on the 28 August, I asked to put it off as our daughter has her prom on the 23rd and we have an event in the 24 so I want to enjoy those, my oncologist was happy to start after, so I’m delighted about that.Talking about it might help someone else reading as well, but I’m conscious of merailing and I don’t want to upset anyone either. The treatment is just something I now have to get through, I’ve a very positive attitude and a great sense of humour so that will see me through, I’m also giving myself a lot of grace to be lovely to myself, which, as a mom of neurodivergent kids, I didn’t ever do, but now I am, I’m determined to find the silver lining in everything. Being here among such amazing people who know what’s going on is a real booster for me and I’m privileged to be part of the gang (not of 4
)

I’m good, been scurrying round like a mad thing, trying to get things in shape for when chemo starts, had to do the blasted VAT for my husbands business and I can’t tell you the relief I feel to have it done.
I’m at the stage where I can just potter around at my own pace getting things done, I adore pottering because it leaves plenty of time for tattling. I went to the wig shop in the hairdresser’s on Saturday and I was so pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the wig is and how like my own hair it will be, ginger ginger ginger with stands of blond (grey)
it really made me feel so much better knowing that job is in hand and that I’ll look like myself, more so for the kids and to feel good when I go out for dinner which I do every week. Feeling good about the wig or hair pieces as they call them now has taken a lot of anxiety and fear of that unknown away, so I was on a bit of a high coming out, we had gone to see the Barbie Movie before it so it was a great day.I’m off for my cycle now, haven’t been good About it since Wednesday as I was totally ran off my feet but back on track and raring to go again.

@raspberryjuice I’m at risk of outing myself here but a long time ago I was involved in an incident at work where one of my colleagues and mentors was killed by a deranged tenant throwing a firebomb into our office. He was the boss but younger than I am now, and he died the day before my first child was born. We tried to save him but in reality he had no chance. It has stayed with me for 35 years and contributed to me leaving Lancashire for Scotland.
It is just a horrendous thing to happen at work and I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. Please make sure you and any affected colleagues get access to support. Am I right in thinking you’re in Scotland? If you need signposting DM me. I’m on hol and only checking my phone occasionally but will get back to you asap.

Sorry, this is completely OT and a massive merail.
I’ve just got back from the psychiatrist, have been under their care for 5 years but it’s never been consistent, I’ve always had locums.
My new psychiatrist is lovely and has assured me her post is permanent, anyway after having a diagnosis of EUPD and bipolar disorder for a couple of years, she’s changed it to complex PTSD with possible EUPD as a result, along with chronic recurrent depressive disorder (this one is an original diagnosis she agrees with)
Feeling all sorts at that diagnosis, can’t believe it’s taken so long.

SPOILER - LONG
Ok for those who are wondering about court sitting times, and why they’re so short, I thought it might be helpful if I gave a run down of what a day in court looks like doing criminal litigation (not a KC, not the high court, so would be different but they will have far less cases of far longer durations so will have plenty to do outside of court hours):
5.30am - up, breakfast etc
6.30am - leave for court (could be anywhere within a 2 hour travel radius)
8am - get to court, continue to prep cases, liaise with other side/probation/third parties/line managers to amend charges/pleas, chase missing evidence etc
10am - court starts, will have a couple of trials or up to 20 hearings depending on the court
1pm - lunch, type up hearing records, next steps, refer to third party agencies, prep for last minute cases transferred into that court
2pm - back to court
4.30pm - court overran slightly, continue typing up hearing records
6pm - leave to go home
7.30pm - get home, dinner
8.30pm - start prepping the 20 cases for the next day
11.30pm - bed
Wake up and do it again
Like I said, KC’s workload will be different but they’ll have thousands of pages of evidence etc to be reviewing, conferences with police/client/CPS, skeleton arguments to draft. Judge will be working on directions/sentencing notes etc for other matters
Even extending court 9-5 makes the work you have to do outside of court completely unfeasible

I’ve had a feeling for a little while that maybe nosy and olee have been avoiding the thread for a reason. Maybe know a bit too much and taking a back seat in order not to drop hints or accidentally reveal too much. Just a theory! Either that or they’ve run off into the sunset together
