B4’s Sister

Derby County’s new manager 😂

A little bit of Daniel at Pride Park forever ❤️ Give him a wave when you pass the east stand 🐏

It’s a hard week. Daniel’s brick is being laid at PP this week. Daniel loved owls, so I bought a small owl ornament for the brick. Trying to distract myself with work but it’s hard

I’ve never really liked cats but my neighbours got a female kitten a few months ago and she is adorable. She has really taken to me and comes running for fuss and to play most days. Despite regular contact I’m still very allergic 🙁

I had three months sick leave for stress in 2019. I was being treated appallingly by a new boss at work. I did my job with nothing but praise for eight years and suddenly I couldn’t do anything right. Counselling didn’t help at the time. I left my job without another job to go to. The experience left me with really bad anxiety. I had another breakdown in October 2022 from the same issues. My doctor was great and I started medication and was referred for CBT. It wasn’t effective enough, so I went on to trauma counselling, which was great. It really helped and I turned a corner in June last year. Without this help I don’t know how I would have got through Daniel’s death. My mental health is up and down at the moment but I think I just need time. I only took 10 workings days bereavement leave including the funeral which wasn’t enough but after my previous work experience, I didn’t want to ask for more time. My boss was very kind and supportive and work sent me flowers. Colleagues have been very supportive too. People with genuine mental health problems need to be supported and not be treated as a government statistic.

Luckily I saw Notre Dame while it was in one piece. I loved the sparrows feeding from your hand

That sounds great. Thanks @sage

I’m going to Paris for a long weekend in a few months. I have been once before, around 17 years ago. Does anyone have any recommendations on things to do? Planning on going to the catacombs. My hubby and I like a bit of morbid history. And musee d’orsay, as I love post-impressionist art.

I can browse books on my kindle but can’t buy them. I have to use Amazon on a phone etc to buy books

@sage James O’Brien will be at Derby Book Festival (late May/early June date tbc) at Quad. I think tickets go on sale in mid-April

You just need to set up your Amazon account on the Kindle and you will see your library. You just download the book you want to read as you would using the phone app.

Loved the atmosphere yesterday. Managed to blag myself a flag/flange by telling the person giving them out I was only five 😂 Most enjoyable match of the season for me

Kate Middleton in Chester Green. I timed this just right

Thank you. I’m definitely improving.

My latest offering. This is a corner of my husband’s aunt and uncle’s farm in Lincolnshire. Sadly, his aunt is terminally ill. This is a surprise gift I’ll be posting to them this week.

I hardly ever know what day of the week it is 😂

There was still some negativity around me at the Reading match on Saturday, despite a few good results. All I could think was we need to be positive. We’re not hovering at 5th/6th in the table with promotion just out of reach. We stand a good chance of going up. Positive thoughts everyone 🐏🐏🐏

Very sad news. Sending love to Rachel and her family. Dad and I will be clapping loud and clear for Angie ❤️

He’ll soon be Merry He’ll soon be Merry 😂

I’ve had a can of this tonight. Lovely stuff. I like strong ales. My hubby and I once had a bargain weekend in Brussels. Three nights in a central hotel and return Eurostar travel for £125 each! There was plenty of beer consumed that weekend.

Hope you have enough beer tolkiens for your Belgian beers 😂

I think B4 would be bouncing off the walls with his match strategies. The scrave would already have been waved. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was predicting 5-0 to Derby. Let’s keep the positivity going ⚽️🐏🙌🏻

Shouldn’t be listening to the wives and girlfriends either. They just need to nip out for a pint of milk and get more training in 😂

Daniel (B4) always predicted a score of 3-0 to Derby. There’s obviously a bit of B4 magic happening ✨
