Exactly this.
Councils are not overspending, they are underfunded. The spending is down to needs. Those needs aren't made up. Councils aren't just gleefully throwing money around (we wish). They have not been given enough funding to cover the costs of required provision.

The Amazon delivery guy is a smoker. I know this because my new Trivial Pursuit game smells strongly of tobacco.

There are plenty of worse things going on in the world, I know, but there is also no milk in the whole of my office for my morning tea. I need to walk in the freezing cold down then back up a really steep hill to get some. Send thoughts and prayers.

I have bipolar disorder. This time last year I had an upswing which made me very, very excited about Christmas to the extent that I couldn't sleep. This year, I'm having a downswing just to balance things out. I know which I preferred. (Obviously, I know neither is good.)

I think I might be coming down with MrPippin's cold. My brain is so fuzzy that I forgot to put a bra on this morning. I thought I was suspiciously comfortable.

I like to spend a bit of time looking at wool online during the day. I find it very soothing. Sometimes I'll spend my lunch hour scrolling through knitting patterns. I've just caught myself going, "Now that's a nice button!" I think I actually have a problem.

Either my husband's snoring has become louder of late, or my hearing has grown more sensitive. Either way, does anyone have any experience of Loop earplugs?

Marvel is scared of me sneezing. I have a cold. We keep looking at each other with tired eyes of 'What, I can't help it' to each other.

I think I'm not going to put this job application in until tomorrow, as I have just caught myself typing, 'I have excellent attention to detale.'

My cholesterol is through the roof at the moment, so I just had an afternoon snack of cheese and crackers, but without the cheese, so now I am very sad.

I'm wearing a fleece blanket over fleece pyjamas over regular pyjamas, fleece socks, and slippers. Yes, I'm a massive ball of static electricity, but I make no apology for it.

There is a knack to working your way out from a buster collar. Marvel has learnt it.

18yo spilled half a jar of instant coffee on the kitchen floor. Though we moved quickly, I think that Marvel (Hellbeast) is still slightly more caffeinated than we would quite like.

Hellbeast ate 18yo's supper last night. He's never been keen on her, so she didn't exactly endear herself to him.

So far, my work day has consisted of reading out of office emails and sitting on hold for various institutions.

First day back at work since December 22nd. It had to happen eventually, but did it have to be today?

Hellbeast starts 2024 in the way I'm sure she's going to go on. Back in the cone of shame.

I just ate 3/4 of a tub of ice cream because I couldn't be bothered to go back to the kitchen to put it in the freezer. I am both greedy and lazy. This is sure not to backfire on me in the future.
