As I went to bed at 3am I was not up until 9.30 *shock Horror*
It’s day 5 of the school holidays & 4 kids have not given me a second to sit & write.
So I’ve sorted the baby, gaffa taped the eldest up, ok I didn’t do that but the thought has crossed my mind several times a second all week !!!!!!
So I left my blog yesterday In a bit of a sulk, deflated, emotional & tired but still got on with tweeting because raising money to Stand Up To Cancer means so much to me, as soon as I got on twitter BANG I was on my mission from god! I started off with Right Said Fred again, Fred is good for RT’s & you know every time I see the fellas from now on I’m going to say them words .. yep you guessed, theres me mate Right said Fred !!!!!
So desperate measures called & I got on with tweeting all the names who I’ve name dropped earlier in the week & bless them for giving me the time of day! I did promise that they would not hear my bleating pleads for a RT again … I have to apologize for Twalking … I feel I may be looked upon as a bunny boiler but it’s all for a good cause! Though I do think I’ll have to change my name by deed poll tho haha
I’m not in any way any of the above BUT I am like a dog with a bone when I’m onto something worth fighting for! I did gain a celebrity £50 donation yesterday morning how exiting, I was too drained to do that running outside thing so I sat & wept with happiness instead! I’ll not name drop this kind person, I would not like to be responsible for any other OCD bunny boilers beating down their walls with bleating pleas … I’d never forgive myself, as that’s the ONLY celeb that’s donated they will know who they are & I thank them from the bottom ov me heart! Kiss kiss.
All afternoon PING PING PING I was getting RT’s left right & center, I got a RT a follow & a personal message from Mr Michael Barrymore, Harold Donald eventually noticed my cries & he gave me a cheeky RT <;<;<; ohh happy days, like like like like !!!!
I also got a RT from the cutest little boy Mason, he is 8 & raising money to buy gifts for children with Cancer, what a little star he is, he has raised thousands of pounds, I'm proud to be his new mate! Speaking of mates I've had some of the loveliest comments, tweets you name it & from absolute strangers, I'm so happy that I did this silent week on facebook truth be known I've never bleedin taked so much in me wole life! Serious, I didn't do too much on twitter before this & I've never dreamed of blogging !!!!
I had the loveliest lass who is 15 do me a video to help this cause, it is at the top of this page in meet my dad, then by chance I met someone who knows my cousins in England … Her boys went to school with them, she is on holiday in France next year not too far from me & we are got to meet up!, this all came about because Colleen Nolan gave me a RT, small world ay!
So today I've been on one again in old twitter land, my first tweet was from me lovely mate Ross King, that man has given me chufties a fair few times this week, he's even taken the time to tweet me direct which hasn't happened too often, Hats off to you Mr King I'll love you forever !!!!
My best tweet so far has to be from someone called John Michael Quinn, he fessed up that he donated & tweeted me because I said I'd worked my ass off, I'll have to remember to use more body part phrases for the 3 hrs & 24 minutes I have left of my Facebook silence !!!!!!! I think I'll be too tired to even update my status tonight, ok maybe not cos I have too many names to drop 😉 & my grand total to share, I also want to thank me Facebook buddies, they have donated an incredible amount to my silence <;<;<;<;<; like like like. I also need to share that I'm having fish & chips for tea!
So off I go to do some more Twalking 😉
EXPECT ME
Kiss kiss
My head hurts from crying myself to sleep & I have to keep blowing my nose as I’ve got myself all snotty! I have no celeb tweets to do a cartwheel about or any more donations towards my Facebook silence to Stand Up To Cancer! WTF is going on?
Yesterday was an emotional day & I was in noddy land as soon as my head hit the pillow. I didn’t have any time to think of the days events I was just too & three exhausted!.
Hearing an old lady bleat on about her 73 year old husband who is in the latter stages of blood cancer was incredibly difficult. She is trying to get her head around her first Christmas without the man she has been married to for 50 years, He is in hospital but his wish was always to die at home, he is too ill to come home & she is clearly devastated. I felt my eyes fill with water & I got that lump that I fought to swallow out & as hard as it was, I didn’t cry, I let her cry all over me instead, I’ve never met this little old lady before, it’s strange that I am doing this event & met her!. It’s all because someone who does not know about my event (i best get emailing them for a donation lol) sent a global email asking someone to pick this ladies shopping up, I offered & arranged to collect & deliver for her, as it goes someone else kindly offered as they only live 5 minutes away & my little old lady friend forgot to tell me Ooops, I only found out when I arrived at the depot for collection. It didn’t matter I still went to her house which is a 40 mile round trip,
I only called in for a quick cup of tea, I went the opposite direction to home as I knew this old lady was having a difficult time, I had frozen stuff in the boot of my car but this didn’t matter I bought 2 big bags of frozen chips that worked as a temporary freezer! I arrived to the little old lady I had visualized, zimmer frame, hairy chin n all, I sat there & I listened to this poor old ladies life story! Two hours later I had to leave, I didn’t take the euro for the milk I had picked up or the diesel money she offered, I just gave her the hug she clearly needed & drove home chatting about her with my eldest daughter who is 14, little old lady had never had children, we learned that she lost 8 babies one being a girl at full term 40 years ago, she even remembered the date, She talked about it like it was yesterday. How awful.
Whilst we were talking in the car my daughter said Isn’t it so sad, she’d have made a lovely grandma, Isn’t it sad that she lost her daughter, Why does my grandma not care mum?
I go silent, she’s right, my mum does not care. It breaks my heart that all my life I have met great parents & people who would have made great parents & grandparents & I have a mother alive & well who isn’t interested. It hurts! Remember I have no dad either which is why I am doing this, my Stand Up To Cancer Event is in memory of My Dad, Prostate cancer killed him, I don’t think I’ll ever get over it, I’d no where near spent as much time with him as I’d have liked its so sad. He had faults, Both my parents have faults, don’t we all? I’d rather take them warts n all & have them in my life, People tell me to move on, How? how do I move on from something I care about so much? That’s a question nobody can ever answer! I just can’t let go :/.
We arrived home when it was dark, I didn’t have time to check my email or tweet any well known, well liked, too tweeted out or damn ignorant celeb when I got in!
Evenings are loud & manic in the Lomas household not forgetting it was Halloween!
So, I run in put the oven on, my eldest baths the baby whilst I put a months worth of soggy shopping away, feed the dogs, cook tea, then check on progress andddddddddd
There wasn’t any! NONE no Tweets no Donations !!!!!! I did send a few cheeky tweets to the celebs I had named & shamed before I went to bed … This morning my inbox was empty, No Tweets, No Donations …… What can I do to step this up a bit?
How funny is this, I’ve only gone & got myself a new friend called Jessica Lomas, how strange is it to see a tweet from Jessica Lomas to Jessica Lomas, we both thought we were the only ones! When I did a search there are LOADS of us, How very rude! She is learning English as she is Mexican, I’m not too sure my blog is brilliant English for her to be reading but she seems to be liking it!
Sooooo, I’ve got 29 hours of my silence left! I’m not giving up, my cupboards are full. When I’ve sorted my little lady I’m right back on with tweeting …….
EXPECT ME !!!!!!
X
Oh my god! I’m just so frustrated the excitement is being taken over by a feeling of loss, I’ve not had use of my Facebook & 4 days of efforts tweeting any celeb that might listen is making me a bit uptight as they are just not tweeting me back. I think I’ve ended up becoming a stalker, I wonder if the word for that is Twalker? Lol.
I just want to raise some money to Stand Up To Cancer, this means so much, it’s gone far & beyond my Facebook silence. I’m obsessed !!!!!! I’m well into day 5, 2 more days to go, I’m absolutely shattered for wanting to make my efforts more than worth while!
Ok, so yesterday morning I said I’d be back to drop a few names that have taken the nano second to RT me,
PING went my iPad, It was bright & early the one & only Ross King had just given me a cheeky RT, just as I was about to do that running outside thing, you know the one where I run right back in cos it’s bloody freezing! He only went & tweeted me personally !!!! It said Good Luck X. I was so exited I woke the whole clan up! He was on TV a short while later & I was still buzzing from his tweet, I said it, There’s me mate Ross … Haha total chuffties 😉
Kids are at home so my house is manic, as well as doing all that a mum of 4 has to do I spent the entire day tweeting, every second I had free I was thinking of names & sending cheeky tweets, I was then looking through their friends & sending them tweets, if I saw a celeb was online I tweeted them …. Sometimes maybe in a Twalker type way oops? I’m so sorry for that! I’m not a stalker HONEST, I’ve only got 2 days to go & I’ve only had 3 extra donations. If I don’t pass out first I will calm down when my event js over!
I just want to be heard, I want to do good for this charity, I want to raise some more money.
I believe a difference can be made & we can reduce the loss & pain of this killer !!!!!
Its such good job that Richard Arnold off morning TV tweeted me back yesterday as I was somehow beginning to dislike such a lovely man. I know he’s busy & must get loads of tweets BUT he wasn’t seeing any of my bleeding pleading begging tweets to support my event & hearing his voice yesterday am made my blood boil …. Then he tweeted me & I love him again, I heard his voice this morning & boooom I said there’s me mate Richard Arnold!
It’s always going to be the same when I now see other celebs that have taken the time to RT me, Dannielle Harold, Simon Gregson & his wife, Kym & Jamie Lomas, Claire Buckfield Hayley Tammerdon, Kurtis Stacey, Hairy Bikers, Sid Owen, Kevin Kennedy, Right Said Fred, they’ve all taken the time to RT me sometimes more than once & I love them all, even though it only took a second & they probably never even looked at the link, their fans must have because this blog got 190 hits yesterday, I’ve no idea if that’s good but it feels good!
There are a few celebs that are really getting on my, on my, on my errrrrrrrr I just can’t say it because I know I’ll feel really bad if they did happen to RT me. I keep seeing them online, BANG I hit them with a message to RT my event & blog ….. andddddddd nothing *sigh*.
CHRIS Moyles ~ I’ve got down on my knees & begged him 
pleaded, even kiss kissed him!
Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Howard Donald,
I’ve begged them, asked them to RT me, I’ve been a fan always, my first ever TT concert was last year I flew from France For Manchester June 7th … I convinced my other half to let us go, if I remember it was one of those please please please it’ll be my Christmas present for ever & ever type of moments. So after a 9 month wait I went with my daughter & Friends all from France, I loved it so so so much I drove to Amsterdam to do it again with my friends a month later, thats a whole new blog in its own rights, I’d walk there to have the chance of doing it all over again, even though I was 16 weeks pregnant I ran like the clappers dragging my friends with me, I made it my mission to get to the front!
Since being a teenager I wanted to see them! Nothing was going to stop me … Sadly my screams of ‘get a f*****g move on wasn’t loud enough, we were soooo close! We ‘could’ have had first row but the place we ran to was swarming with Dutch that all spread out, I have a photo of the horrible wenches crushing my arm between them, I’d been stood there for hours & needed my balance, being pregnant made no difference, They were at the front & nothing was going to make them budge up a little !!!!!!!!!! I got my revenge in a very cool way, I was annoyed at them … There was plenty of room for me …. Sooo every single time they started to record I went up close & sang in a horrific voice, I bellowed as loud as it was humanly possible & made sure every second of their recording was filled with a reminder that Kalma bites =D
So I’d always wanted to see them when I was a teenager, back in them days £20 was too much to ask my mum for so I didn’t ever ask. When they broke up it was easier because I didn’t have to listen to my friends bleating about how much fun they had at the concerts, When they got back together I was living in a caravan & pregnant with my third child, I made a Promise to myself that I would one day see them end of & I did. I even sold all the gold I have ever been given for 600€ to help me fulfil this dream which I thought ‘oh we’ll I’ll have the memories’ yeah I have the memories BUT I’m feeling let down a bit
So here I am pissed off at them for not seeing my Tweets, They are clearly so popular they haven’t seen my pleading bleating messages Right now I am pissed off at them for not being loyal to their fans, I’ll never know of they are just a bunch of ignoramus pigs or am I just a needle in a hay stack of tweets?
Lily Allen, Tulisa, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Sharon Osborne, Holly & Phil, Keith Lemon, Allan Carr, Jimmy Carr, Jamie Oliver …. None of them have seen me or taken the time!
There’s hundreds more !!!!!!
arghh I’m trying so hard,
So I’m off out soon to go 40k out of my way to deliver some shopping for an old lady who’s husband is poorly in hospital with cancer, she is too ill to drive. It’s not a problem to me, I get my diesel & my time is for free.
A RT is for FREE ???
I fell asleep bolt upright in me chair clutching my iPad! I’ve no idea what time I woke up but I didn’t hesitate, my bed had my name written all over it, I was too tired to even look & see if had any more donations or tweets!.
Yesterday was a mixed bag of absolute up & down emotions it’s no wonder I fell asleep at 10 o’clock ish.
That RT from Sid Owen made my morning start off good, not only was I grateful because it was the night after SCD but his RT got me an extra £12.50 via one of his dedicated followers, cool ay. I’ve heard he has a restaurant a couple of hours from us in France, I’ve always said I’d like to visit, How cool would it be to say you went to Ricky Butchers restaurant in France! Maybe he’ll see this & invite me to eat there, Oh my brain is working overtime now!
I had various RT’s all morning which are all exiting in their own rights but the dance I did when Kevin Kennedy gave me a RT was enough to wake the dead! Then when he followed me the doctor was nearly called as I was almost hyperventilating! Curly Watts, that is brill.
I sort of met him in November 2004, I was on a flight from Malaga, I was sat like you do on the plane & I looked to my right & there he was on the next isle, OMG Curly Watts, I was sat reading my free newspaper, in between looking over at Curly, I admit I was a bit star struck he was the best celeb I had seen in the flesh since I saw David Beckham at an R Kelly Concert in 1996!
It was a short while later when the flight attendant came to me & said Miss you have newspaper print ALL OVER YOUR FACE, I had no baby wipes or anything to clean my self up & was forced to do the walk of shame right past Curly to the toilet. OK that was bad enough what happened next will scar me for life …. The flight lands no problem, the pilot says wait till you get in the main terminal then you can switch your phone on, OK that went right over my head & I subconsciously turned my phone on whilst people were preparing to leave, so I’m stood right behind Curly & my phone does that vibrating thing, you know just as its about to break out into ‘I SEE YOU BABY! SHAKIN THAT ASS, SHAKIN THAT ASS’ omg it didn’t just happen once, I had the welcome to England text but also texts from friends, my phone just wouldn’t stop. My phone was on LOUD.Oh, the shame !!!!! I was too embarrassed for words =D
As it goes I didn’t dare ask for his autograph I was still concerned about the newspaper print gate …
As my mate would say ‘Only in Jessica’s world’
Not long after Kevin Kennedy had tweeted PING PING PING PING PING ….
My iPad was singing sweet RT’s to me! Danny Dyer had given me a cheeky RT, You know Danny Dyer … Nope I had NO idea who he was either! I had to google his name, yum yum yum was the first thing I thought then I realised who he was & nearly did a cartwheel. I would have in a flash BUT my ceiling is too low & I’m not that into purposely creating health & safety issues, they happen by accident normally after a few wines but that’s a whole different blog 😉
Ok, I’ve been up 2 hours! I need to go & rehydrate then I’ll have to name drop a few more celebs that have seen my pleading tweets !!!!!! Like like like
I wonder if I should name drop the mega famous, mega well liked, mega well rich superstars who have failed to see my bleating pleas to give me a cheeky RT ??????
P.s I’ve had a £20 anonymous donation =D
Whoever the culprit is I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
X
So I hardly slept again last night, I thought I would crash out as soon as my head hit the pillow but instead my head was whirling with thoughts of yesterday & thoughts of what I’d do if that MAHOOSIVE RT or donation that will make my Facebook silence more worthwhile that it already is!.
I laid there thinking about the £100 donation I got from my ‘anonymous’ friend! I get a burning feeling as I write about it, a burning of love & a feeling of ‘she could have used that for herself’ ‘she doesn’t have a lot as it is’ ‘she’s already made a donation’……
How lovely is my friend ay!
I go from analysing the only donation I’d had in two days of my weeks Facebook silence which I might add is soo bloody hard, it’s hard to keep quiet, not click like, you know …
I had a RT for the Hairy Bikers & Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald from Coronation St) yesterday, Whoopie haha like like like, The absolute first thing I wanted to do was tell all my friends, instead I jumped up & did that thing where I had to really run outside but really did run back inside & run upstairs to put me dressing gown on, How did it get so cold so quick?
The only time I stopped tweeting celebs yesterday is when I was tending to my baby, cooking yummy food & generally making myself look busy anytime the other half came anywhere close, you know that moment when you randomly pick a cloth up & make it look like you were just about to dust or something else that gets ruined as soon as your back is turned, as soon as he’s gone out of eyeshot BANG I’m back to tweeting any twit that might listen to my pleads for a RT or Donation.
I had a fair few RT’s but NO MORE DONATIONS & nothing from the mega famous or rich
This is all going wrong, there are no more hours left in a day to tweet? How else can I can some more cash in? Is there something I’m doing wrong ????
The next thing I’m awake, it’s 7.30am, baby is sleeping as is the rest of the house as its the start of the holidays! The first thing on my mind is have I had any donations? Has someone mega well liked & rich give me a cheeky RT? I run right downstairs, ignore my dry mouth & check my inbox NO NEW DONATIONS NOOOOOOOOOO mega well liked famous rich people had seen my pleads to RT me SHIT SHIT SHIT !!!!!!! I’m sure I can’t do anything more than I am ?????
I noticed SId Owen (Ricckkkkkkyyyyy from Eastenders) was online & I slammed him with a pleading tweet, immediately my iPad pinged HE HAD RE TWEETED as did a couple of his dedicated followers, How exiting, I’d not even had a my morning coffee & already the endorphins to tweet had kicked in good & proper ….. !!!!
Then one of Sid Owens dedicated followers DONATED £10 + £2.50 gift aid,
I’m sure theory is right, IF celebs RT then their followers might donate, if all the celebs I have tweeted would take the millisecond to RT me there could be a big difference to my efforts to #StandUpForCancer!
Surely?
£100 YES Thats right a HUNDRED QUID + £25 gift aid like like like
Although this is an anonymous donation I do know who the culprit is & I will one day make it up to her as this is the second time she’s donated! This is all so emotional … I feel like I’m on a roller coaster !!!!!
I just went to run out side with excitement, but I ran right back in again, Jesus Christ it’s bloody freezing today!.
P.s I’m so happy that our Nephew Joshua Anthony Lomas arrived safe & sound at 11.14am weighing in at a healthy 7lb 2oz, it’s hurting that I can’t comment on his gorgeous photos, but they’ll still be there when my Facebook silence ends !!!!!
Here is a photo of my donation progress =D
So that’s the phrase that got me here! It seems that not everyone gets that pang of tearful guilt when asked to make a donation every pound helps, I’m even thinking pennies now, they ALL add up
Yesterday I worked so hard tweeting anyone that might give me a RT & yes I got some very lovely exiting RT’s but STILL NO MORE DONATIONS *hand over mouth moment* so my pleads have been shared with hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers & NO MORE DONATIONS ….. What the hell is going on? What am I missing? Is there more I can do? Tell me, I’m all ears!
I tweeted for 16 hours on & off yesterday, that was in between being a mum to my four children, cooking stew, pie & pizza !!! I’m doing double the hours of a full time job in hope that I can bump up my final donation to Stand Up To Cancer & I’ve completed 39 1/2 hrs of my weeks Facebook silence & NO MORE DONATIONS is there more I can do?
I didn’t go to bed till 3am, then I couldn’t sleep for thinking about all the mega rich, mega famous, mega well liked celebs who might have noticed my begging pleas for them to RT , I was laid wondering if I’d wake to a mahoosive random donation, I was back up @ 7.30 … Straight to my inbox, NO DONATIONS grrrrrrrrrr but I had got a RT from the one & only Terry Coldwell you know, one of the lads from E17, I used to love E17 but shhhhh don’t tell anyone, that was a long time ago 😉 haha
The RT from Terri obviously got me straight onto Twitter before I’d even put the kettle on, I immediately thanked Terry & noticed that Kim Lomas (Great surname) you know, Kim marsh the lass who plays Michelle on Coronation street, well I saw that she had just tweeted something so BANG I tweeted & asked her to share my tweet, a short while later PING my screen flashes to tell me she had seen my tweet & had the heart to RT me, I’ve got a lump in my throat just writing it, How exiting, that really was what I’d say with my mates a pure ‘tena moment’ OMG happy happy happy !!!!!!
The Facebook silence is soooooooooo soo hard! I am allowed on Facebook, I’m just not allowed to say ANYTHING … No likes, no pictures, no updates F**K! We’ve got our Niece on the labour ward in Mancester & I’ve just had the most beautiful share from me best mate & I’m not allowed to say nish!
It’s all good fun other than I have to keep sitting on my hands to view Facebook as my fingers seem to have a Facebook brain … Argh I CAN DO THIS !!!!!!
Bon Dimanche xxx
I can’t believe I’m in twitter jail once again & we’ve had NO donations ALL day, what the heck is going on? I’ve tweeted that many people today I’ve got Rocking Robin by michael Jackson whirling round in my head & I can’t even tweet about it as I’m in jail & I can’t Facebook about it either Shit! This is doing my head in, I should be getting paid by the minute for my Facebook silence !!!!!
On the plus side I’ve had some pretty wicked RT’s that I’ve got myself all flustered & exited about! Not cartwheel exited or the same & a donation excitement …. But still exiting!
I just want to raise some cash & #standup2cancer =D
Not being able to tweet for a few hrs taught me a lesson … Don’t waste yer tweets on twits!
I’m trying to stay off Facebook, I’ve had a couple of close shaves where I thought I’d accidentally clicked like OMG heart stopping moments, this iPad is sooooo sensitive !!!!
Now I am back on a mission tweeting anyone who will share, it’s hard not to get exited when I get a RT but I’m still not getting more donations? What am I doing wrong?
Here are some of my tweets!
