I said exactly that earlier today. Every year I think I'm getting away with it and then I start feeling inexplicably tired and sad. Should be OK by March...

I bought a flat in Islington in the 1980s when my partner and I were both in entry level professional-type jobs in not well paid industries. Sadly I sold it and moved out of London before houses became cash cows rather than homes.

I went to the very posh wedding of distant relative recently and got chatting to nice young woman who worked at a whisky distillery. I found out after that her family owned the distillery and the island it was on

How typical. When I'm swimming laps I expend more energy defending my territory against men who act as if I'm invisible than I do actually swimming 😂

As someone aged 60, it’s comforting to know I will still manage to get some enjoyment out of life when I reach the great age of 61 🙄

I know someone whose daughter got a scholarship to the sixth form at Marlborough College (not boarding) and even that cost a fortune in extras. When she felt unwell, rather than call her parents to see if they could collect her, they sent her home in a taxi and charged the parents over £40
