I’m sorry but there’s no need for that carry on, it’s like a crap tv drama. And why oh why doesn’t someone intervene for the sake of that poor child. Honestly Louisa you can’t be doing home ed if you’re falling on the floor.

On the sofa, not the ground

I am laughing more than is necessary at this addendum


Don't get me anything. I might not like it anyway eh.
Eh!

I might not like it, so best just GIMME THE CASH
Are you okay, Hotes? Up late, or horribly early? x

If there are any doubting Thomas's here (DELETE YOUR ACCOUNTS), a reminder that when in a crash, Roadsidemum types via touch and memory, okay. She's definitely not wasting precious energy

I was so tired on Saturday that I slept 12 Hours. Which was great but it’s ruined my sleep cycle. I’ve been awake for 13 hours so far today, so up late. She’s talking push about muscle memory typing too. I make loads of mistakes when I‘m bad. Anyway why type, she has a voice!

I'd like to report myself for a rogue apostrophe. Doubting Thomases, I now realise

Thanks Hotes - it’s easy to be dismissive of her actual illness sometimes and you are doing us (and RSM) a service in sharing your experience. I think it’s the little tweet thread from the floor that make me think she is laying it on a bit thick. A bit like when she is crashing so bad but can still tweet because her thumbs work automatically on the phone, in the dark. Ridiculous.

I am sadly in agreement with the idea that she has zine deadlines this week.

Honestly at this point RD should have full custody. She's clearly incapable of looking after those children it she's lying on the floor for hours and an 11? Year old is making dinner for her and her sibling unsupervised. She's dangerous and or selfish and or making it all up to avoid her deadlines

I hate those disjointed “if I could just… reach… my sword” tweets she does when she’s crashing. So needlessly dramatic.

By tweeting from the floor she’s actually wasting energy.
In simplistic terms, imagine your phone battery is low. You’ve got 2%, no charger/battery and you’re expecting an important text or email in the next hour.
Do you leave it alone/switch it off for an hour to conserve the last bit of battery, then check to see if the text has arrived, or do you send a couple of long tweets moaning about the lack of battery?

Sorry RSM but I don’t believe you.

I mean, you have to hope that the fact she is apparently tweeting from the floor means that it’s all a lie right? Or at least a massive exaggeration.

Tweet quoting my 11 year old carer/cook's pithy comments while crashing on floor is always my priority.

Glad to see RM is up and about now

It's screamingly middle class to note constantly the "middle class" appearance of others...
Yes - it reminds me of the curtain twitching performative “Dursley’s” from Harry Potter. Achingly middle class until she wants to be working class povvo with her hand out.
