We do a cute category thing for presents each year to prevent exorbitant spending, but even with that OH is *impossible* to buy for.

We’re doing a round up of personal achievements for our last internal comms newsletter of the year. Someone climbed Mt Kilimanjaro. I’m lucky if I climb the stairs some days.

Rejoined Instagram because my bestie is moving to America and it’s the easiest way to keep informed of her adventures. Hate it already.

We’re putting the Christmas tree up because we ordered a new one and seems daft to pack it away in the loft for 2 weeks. So:

Accidentally popped Coronation St on and think I’m having an out of body experience because some character seems to be *narrating* and they keep doing odd, to the camera shots.

Look, I get it’s morning telly and no one gives a shit, but it’s wild to me that they had former Glamour EIC Jo Elvin on Lorraine discussing Prince Andrew/Epstein and then 10 mins later they’ve pivoted and she’s doing a segment on Chic Cardigans for the over 50s.

Holidaying in rainy cottages is the best. Today’s game pile is: Rummy 500, Bananagrams, The Gang, Flip 7, Sky Team, Monopoly Deal, Catan & Ticket to Ride.

I don’t really like our bathroom at home. It’s fine for a quick shower etc but because it’s the inherited stuff from when we bought (and it’s not in the best condition), I rarely take a long soak in the tub. We’re now away for a few days, so you’ll probably find me in the bath till Sunday.

Saw a candid side-profile photo of me in earlier. The double chin was doubling. Dreadful.
I say this while eating a layer of Guylian of course.

I’m quite pleased it wet weather all week. We’re going away with the dog for a few nights and it means we can just do mucky walks and then snuggle up with a good book, great food, nice drinks and board games.

Was just reading things totally wrong on the National Lottery app (terrible by the way), and for about 90 seconds thought I’d won the UK Millionaire Maker.

ITV2 is airing an old ep of mediocre dating show Dress to Impress. Fine, it’s run-of-the-mill hungover TV. But, inexplicably, it’s got a BSL interpreter in the corner. WHERE is the data that deaf audiences want to watch this at 8am? Or does ITV just have a BSL quota that they use on bilge like this?

More than 7 million viewers for Celebrity Traitors last night. Sensational in this day and age.
