My first Twitter! Hello!

No, first "Tweet", apparently.

Shazzer helping.

Jude also on Twitter. Hi Jude!

Shazzer says have to put funny "at" symbol in front of names so people know when you're talking about them.

So hi shazzer_g, hi heyjude_25

Oh. Have to follow people to talk to them. shazzer_g helped.

Am now following shazzer_g and heyjude_25

Still don't really understand what it's all about though.

heyjude_25 says is about following celebrities to see what they're doing.

Am following stephenfry

Oooh! stephenfry doing stuff!

stephenfry goes for a lot of walks, doesn't he?

shazzer_g has now told me about retweeting (RT) and hash tags and everything! Feel like proper Twitterer.

Following tomfabulous

Am feeling so connected to my urban family! Love Twitter!

RT tomfabulous: Bridget! You look so thin!

Hate it when he does that. Always think I've lost weight then realise he can't see me.

Have Photoshopped profile pic though.

Fancy a chocolate croissant and a cappuccino. Must resist and be good though. Seeing Mark Darcy tonight.

Goody, time for lunch. Wish could Twitter away from desk.

OMG, can Twitter from phone! shazzer_g helped. Love Twitter!

Am heading to café. Think will have the salad.

Back from lunch. Had chocolate croissant and cappuccino. Was too cold for salad.

Shut up, tomfabulous

Love sitting in café Twittering on phone. Look like had loads of friends and getting loads of texts.

Wonder if can Twitter from phone during sales meeting.

Am im sbles mfftimg! Hidimg qhone vnder derk.

Must learn to touch type on phone. Thought was quite good.

Twitter better than Facebook. FB full of Smug Marrieds and hair-flicky snobs from school who want to bump up friends list.

Naturally, accept all friend requests though so they can see how fabulous one is as a Singleton. A dating Singleton, that is.

shazzer_g says you can make all Twitters Facebook status updates too. Shall I . . .?

No, just remembered Una Alconbury on Facebook. Might want to Twitter about shagging Mark Darcy!

Mmm, looking forward to Mark Darcy tonight.

Will tell him he must get Twitter account so can follow him and see what he's doing all day!

Home time, yay.

On the tube. Twittering from phone. Smells bad. Tube, not phone.

Old man across from me, looking lecherous.

Old man still looking lecherous.

Old man fiddling with his trousers.

Old man is

Moved carriages.

Home now, slightly traumatised by tube. Glass of wine to calm self.

Preparing for dinner with Mark Darcy! Have perfect dress.

Perfect dress looks less than perfect. Tummy poking out in manner not evident in changing room at shop.

Regret chocolate croissant and cappuccino at lunch. Glass of wine to calm self.

Where is good pair flattering tights?

Still looking for tights.

TIIIIIIIIIGHTS!!

Glass of wine to calm self.

Hmmm. Suspect tights may be down the back of couch at Mark Darcy's as distinctly remember having them on then off last Friday night.

Gah! Must now change entire outfit due to lack of tights.

RT tomfabulous: still have tummy-flattening scary knickers?

tomfabulous my saviour. Can now wear perfect dress.

Hair has gone floppy. Must re-joosh.

Right. Think look okay. Lovely new MAC eyeshadow. Must now dash downstairs as taxi has been waiting ages.

In taxi. Ankle hurts. Stupid strappy sandals.

At restaurant. Mark Darcy slightly grumpy at perceived lateness but think offset by perfect dress.

Telling Mark Darcy all about Twitter!

Humph. Turns out Mark Darcy knows all about Twitter and uses it to follow politicians and other lawyers.

Mark Darcy has banned Twittering in his presence. Am currently in loo.

Dinner lovely. Also lovely afterwards in flat. Can Twitter from dfjfejkgdfg

GAH! Mark Darcy woke up and had to hide phone. Am now in kitchen pretending to get a drink of water.

Wonder if should follow Mark Darcy after all. Would see when secretly Twittering.

Found Mark Darcy on Twitter. Looking through his friends.

GAH! Is following Rebecca!!

Storm back into bedroom to confront Tweet treachery.

Mark Darcy explains couldn't reject Rebecca as still work with her and would be awkward.

Ask why hasn't followed self yet. Points out have not requested.

Gah! Now have to follow! Can you delete Tweets?

YES! Love shazzer_g.

Ooh! More followers!

Followers are more people I don't know. Blocking them.
