24HRS WITH... LAUREN DEWAR, PERSONAL ASSISTANT & YOUTUBER

Date: 3rd April 2020

Why have you chosen to write about today?

I’ve often written off a day (particularly a bad one), and have never took the time to reflect on what I’ve done in a day, good or bad, and what i could have done differently. Today, i decided to reflect.

Good morning! Good morning. :)

What time did you wake up?

My first alarm went off at 6am, but i woke up and got out of bed at 7:45am.

Why did you wake up at that time?

I usually try and get up at 7am - at the very latest - 7:30am, but i couldn’t get to sleep till 2am last night through overthinking. Overthinking continued through to the morning and i struggled to get up any earlier.

Did you have a dream?

I did. I vaguely remember being in someone’s house but it was actually a shopping centre, and I was in the middle of a house party, but the party was a load of people dancing in a musical….

24HRS WITH... BEX HUGHES, FND SUFFERER

Date:

Thursday (I had to double check that, days are mostly meaningless for me!) 2nd April 2020

Why have you chosen to write about today?

Because it was mostly the exact same as every day has been for 6+months- and not many people can say that right now!

Good morning!

What time did you wake up?

Around 08:15

Why did you wake up at that time?

My carers woke me up. Sometimes I wake up when they access my key safe (which is mad-loud considering it’s on the outside of my house!) but today they had to actually walk into my living room- where my hospital bed is- to get any reaction.

Did you have a dream?

Not that I can remember! I’m a deep sleeper and I think I leave my dreams buried deep, too.

24HRS WITH... BEAT AMBASSADOR & ETSY SHOP OWNER, CARA LISETTE

24 hours with... Cara Lisette

Date: 20/08/2019

Why have you chosen to write about today? Today I have a day off and that’s much more interesting than hearing me talk about my day at work!

Good morning!

What time did you wake up?

I woke up around 6:30am, went downstairs for breakfast then fell asleep again until 9:30am!

Why did you wake up at that time?

I’m not sure really, I struggle to have lay ins these days but clearly I needed a bit of extra sleep.

Did you have a dream?

Not that I can recall but I did drink a bottle of wine last night and I don’t really dream if I’m tipsy!

Do you think today will be 'good' or 'bad' day? (use your own definition of these words to answer the question)

A good day I hope! I enjoy my days off and try to make them a mix of productive and relaxing.

What are the first three things you do after waking up?

Put my glasses on, clean my teeth, feed my cat.

24HRS WITH... AUTHOR, ANGELA CLARKE

So, I began reading Angela Clarke's Follow Me while in Hospital and it was the greatest distraction; inevitably, I tweeted a quote from the book and unexpectedly, Angela tweeted me back! And so this post was born...

Good morning! 

What time did you wake up?

5 am.

Why did you wake up at that time?

Because I’m a masochist. Okay, because I’m on deadline for a feature film proposal.

Did you have a dream?

Yes, I did have a dream. Half of it was about words on a page, moving around and scrolling, and images that are recognisable from the movie I was working on before I went to bed (that happens when I work long hours). And the other half, inexplicably, involved a Moomin mug.

Do you think today will be 'good' or 'bad' day? (use your own definition of these words to answer the question)

It’s the Seaton Delaval Hall staff and volunteer Bake Off today and hopefully a busy day with lots of visitors enjoying the hall and gardens and taking part in our illusion themed week of family activities.



The Bake Off today is the return match, when staff bake, and volunteers judge. At the start of the summer, volunteers baked and staff judged. It’s organised by 1 of our volunteers and always good fun.


Good morning!

24HRS WITH... NORTH EAST AMBULANCE SERVICE CEO; YVONNE ORMSTON

24 hours with... North East Ambulance Service CEO; Yvonne Ormston

Why have you chosen to write about today?

_{Ok here goes. This is the day that I have chosen to blog about after being asked to by Aimee. Why me? I can’t think people would be particularly interested in the day in the life of an NHS CEO, especially this one, but who knows? If there is something useful then hopefully it will inspire someone, somewhere about something!!}


Good morning!

_{Alarm goes off at 5.45 am}

.

24 hours with... Chief Inspector Steve Hails, Northumbria Police

Date: Monday 30th July 2018

Why have you chosen to write about today? Today is my first day back to work following a week on leave.

Good morning!

What time did you wake up? 

05:00

Why did you wake up at that time? 

I always wake up early but at the moment seem to be waking up earlier.  

24HRS WITH... EM SHELDON | EMTALKS.CO.UK

Good morning!

What time did you wake up? 

7.30am 

Why did you wake up at that time? 

I always set an alarm so that I can do a morning Instagram post and head to the gym plus get some emails done before the world starts 

Did you have a dream? 

I can’t remember! I can never remember my dreams! 

Do you think today will be 'good' or 'bad' day? (use your own definition of these words to answer the question)

I always try and wake up assuming it’s gonna be a good day. There is good in every day and rainy days make flowers. Sometimes I wake up and external factors mean my day could be bad, but I try and see the positives in every day now. I read a book that said, ‘most of us focus on what’s wrong, and what we don’t have, rather than on what’s right and what we do have’ and I’m trying to wake up with that mind set

24HRS WITH... AUTHOR AND MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE MARTIN 'MARTY' BAKER

24 hours with... Martin Baker, Author and Mental Health Advocate

Date: Monday 4^th June 2018

Why have you chosen to write about today?

I decided to choose the first full day after you sent me the questions,/ so it would be pretty much random, rather than choose a day that seemed in some way more ‘special’ or ‘significant.’


Good morning!



What time did you wake up?

I woke briefly around 4:30am but went straight back to sleep. I woke again at 6:40am and got up twenty minutes later just before my alarm (which is set for 7:02am)


Why did you wake up at that time?

That’s just naturally when I woke.



Did you have a dream?

Possibly but not that I remember. I rarely recall my dreams.

24HRS WITH... AUTHOR, CHARLOTTE UNDERWOOD

Good morning!



What time did you wake up?

About 6:45am… I think! But then I never know the answer to this because my brain, first thing in the morning, feels very inebriated, despite being stone cold sober


Why did you wake up at that time?

I have no idea, my body’s been really into waking me up at stupid o’clock recently, long days are the worst but at least I can say goodbye to my husband before he starts work!

HOW COMPARISONS CAN STOP YOU FROM REGRETTING | MY TRIP TO SCARBOROUGH WITH RONNIE

I’m no travel blogger; so I figured that to tell you guys about my recent trip to Scarborough with Ronnie (my Fiancé), and show you some of the many photos that he took, I’d talk about something the trip taught me: mistakes and regrets.

That sounds bad.

And it did when I said it aloud to Ronnie.

Let me explain…
