Still too ugly for camera after the operation (I have spots everywhere and my skin has aged fifty years) so here’s some snaps I took earlier in Sweden. On Saturday we celebrated the 27th birthday of @albatrossscarf - the best, kindest and least funniest person I know ❤️❤️

Hi everyone, thought I’d give a little update as so many of you have contacted me. If you don’t know, I had an operation a week ago. I was so frightened. In the week(s) leading up to it I’d suddenly burst into tears, I’d ricochet from being normal and happy to horrible and snappy. I had nightmares every night. As you can probably tell, I’d never even sat in a hospital before, and now I was having to go to Enfield and go under anaesthetic. Bear in mind I had a panic attack last year at even joining a new doctor’s surgery in Belsize. I was in for day surgery at Chase Farm Hospital. It’s such a fancy hospital, and even there with all modernness and technology it made me truly realise how much the NHS are struggling. I obviously knew about it (my sister IS a doctor) but it was shocking to see first hand how busy they are. The nurses were absolutely amazing though. The operation went well (I think), but I didn’t get to speak to a surgeon or doctor to find out what happened. I am still waiting for my GP to call me and give me an update. In terms of recovery... I really had no idea what I was in for. I took a taxi back from the hospital last Tuesday to Colchester so I could be at home home (so expensive but worth it). I expected to take a few days off and then be back at work and fine by the next week. HA. While mentally I’m much better now (was very emotional and sensitive and all over the place last week), I didn’t really anticipate how long it would take me to recover physically. I went to the shops yesterday in high spirits and then was in tears by the end because I couldn’t even bend down to get a plastic bag, and I couldn’t choose anything heavy. But! I am okay! I have just realised that I just need to spend time recovering and I have to take it at my own pace. And if sitting on a chair playing SimCity all day, or writing up doodles in my lovely new book from my pals, I need to put myself first. So sorry if I haven’t answered your email 🤷🏼‍♀️ It is weird because even when I had norovirus when I was at DK I came back after two days for feeling guilty, even though I definitely shouldn’t have 🙄 Thank you all for your lovely messages ❤️

Oh my god. I feel so incredibly humbled tonight to have received care packages from both my family and friends. I am so grateful to have amazing people in my life. I’ve honestly never been so touched, it’s made me completely cry! I may have just had an operation and be in absolute pain right now but I wouldn’t change this moment for the world ❤️❤️❤️ thank you everyone as well for your kind messages and thoughts today, honestly, It’s made me so emotional that there are people who care about me ❤️

The billionth time this year I’ve asked the photographer to get professional photos of me and then I get super awkward at the last minute and pull stupid faces. This was the least stupid one 🙈
