Everything I Did Online Today in My Pyjamas

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

 

A cosy shot of my legs in flannel pyjamas, stretched out on the bed with Angus the cat curled up contentedly on my knee, eyes half-closed in peak feline comfort.

Everything I Did Online Today in My Pyjamas

A day in the life of a woman running multiple income streams in flannel and a vague state of existential dread.

Let’s be honest: if the internet had a uniform, it wouldn’t be a power blazer. It would be pyjamas. Preferably flannel. Possibly patterned with cats.
Today, I lived that dream. I ran an entire digital empire—okay, a modest content creation business—from the safe, fleece-lined cocoon of my bed.

Morning: Emails, Existential Angst & Electrolytes

I opened my eyes and immediately picked up my phone like a Victorian child clutching their last orange.
Checked overnight TikTok stats (tragic), replied to two PR emails (still in bed), and accepted that my face wasn’t seeing daylight until at least noon.
Pro tip: if you’re prone to head fog before coffee, electrolytes are your best friend. I used this one from my Amazon storefront because apparently, hydration is the hill I live or die on now.

Late Morning: Filming From the Waist Up

I filmed two shoppable TikToks—hair brushed, makeup negotiable, pyjama bottoms firmly staying put.
Also recorded a “FaceTime-style” chat about fidget toys, which felt intimate until I realised I had a giant Needoh ball balanced on my shoulder like a stressy parrot.
(all videos currently flopping, we move)

Lunchtime: Productivity vs Paddington

Paused to eat a beef and beetroot sandwich while rewatching Moulin Rouge! for emotional support. Ewan McGregor sang, I cried.
Then I made a coffee, lit my wax melt burner, hugged my Paddington Bear plush, and called it self-care.
Romanticising your life is a tax-deductible business strategy. Probably.

Afternoon: Affiliate Links & A Glorious 23p

I uploaded a Pinterest pin linking to my ‘Soft Life Comforts’ collection, updated my Amazon videos, and made £0.23 in commission.
Yes, twenty-three pence.
No, I will not be silenced.
Yes, I am still proud.

Evening: Final Edits in Bed, Wax Burner Lit, World Conquered

I batch-edited some content with Elliot, captioned a video about a dress that didn’t fit me (the plot twist outfit did), and scheduled everything for the next day.
I stayed in my pyjamas the entire time.
That’s what we call Main Character Energy (Flannel Edition).

Oh Hello… It’s Been a While, Hasn’t It?

Hello Again… It’s Been a While, Hasn’t It?


Angus Beans, the smallest and sassiest member of the household, exploring the garden like he owns it


You know that feeling when you bump into an old friend and somehow years have passed—but it still feels like yesterday? That’s me, dusting off this little corner of the internet, brushing cat fur off my keyboard, and wondering where on earth the time went.

If you’re new here (or if you’ve forgotten about me entirely—rude but understandable), I’m Mandy. I’m still very much living my independent woman, slightly feral cat lady, romcom protagonist in the wrong movie life. Yes, still single forever—thank you for asking. And honestly? Not mad about it.

🐾 The Current Cat Chaos Roll Call

  • Charlie – Legendary cat, absolute icon, still running the household like he pays rent.

  • Angus Beans – The smallest, sassiest kitten with a name far too grand for his tiny legs.

  • Iris – The wise elder of the group, quietly judging everyone from her favourite spot.

  • Maggie – Found abandoned in a recycling centre and now living her absolute best life (because obviously, she owns the place).

  • Jasper – Technically my daughter Abigail’s cat, but you know how it goes—visitation rights and all that.

Somehow, between the cat wrangling and my long-standing phobia of bananas (yes, that’s still a thing—don’t ask), life took an unexpected turn thanks to TikTok. What started as me rambling into my phone has turned into a full-on career. I’m now a content creator across TikTok, Amazon, YouTube, and apparently back here again. Who knew over-sharing on the internet could be so profitable?


📱 Where You Can Find Me These Days

  • 💫 Follow me on TikTok (@mandyyourtiktokmum) – for chaotic storytelling, product reviews, life updates, and occasional existential dread (with a side of cat content).

  • 🛍️ Shop My Amazon Storefront – if you’re wondering “Where did she get that ridiculous but oddly life-improving gadget?” it’s probably here. Curated, tried, tested, and Mandy-approved.

  • 📌 Hang out on Pinterest – perfect for late-night scrolling and finding all the pretty things I don’t actually need but desperately want.

  • 🎥 Join me on YouTube – yes, we’re doing that now too! Expect honest reviews, a bit of chaos, and the occasional unplanned existential crisis.


This year, I’m all about embracing joy again—more travel, more cats, more unhinged product reviews, and maybe even a little theatre obsession thrown in for good measure. And if you’ve stuck with me this far, you’re officially part of the VIP club (no membership card required, just a tolerance for sarcasm and the occasional cat photobomb).

So, grab a coffee, settle in, and let’s make this next chapter the most chaotic, hilarious, and gloriously unfiltered one yet.

P.S. Tell me in the comments—what have you been up to? And if it involves acquiring more cats, please know I am fully supportive.
