First world problems I know, but cannot decide. I could really do with a lottery win tonight! 🤞

Adulting dilemma. Current car. Fits in our 70s garage. Petrol, and fairly cheap to run. Really practical with a big boot, but... potentially hefty repair bill incoming. New cars. Hugely expensive. No chance of fitting in the garage. Would love an EV but no charging at home.

New car cash purchase wipes out all my savings. New car on PCP works out at least £5k more expensive overall than cash. Parking in my street is atrocious. Last night I would have had to park 200m away from the house, in front of somebody else's.

How did the @TNLUK manage to make such an awful website update? Tickets don't show in order of draw date. No way to sort them. The filters are broken. Absolute shambles.

@MAGAVoice Gestapo - Wikipedia share.google/uacPebNAeXoAHL… Sound familiar?

If you are saying a prayer for our Brave ICE Agents to stay safe as they protect us, reply with “AMEN”

Building and contents insurance. 2024 - £325.49 2025 - £494.87 2026 - £631.31 No change to the possessions covered. No claims. #CostOfLivingCrisis

A day in the woods in biblical rain is still better than a day in the office.

It's the run up to Christmas. You'd think @AmazonUK would have the sense to put items in packaging to at least try and disguise it, not just slap a sticker on the item itself. It was a book, nothing complicated. Absolutely useless.

Finally watching #Andor season 2. It's brilliant but depressing. The parallels with the current political trends are frightening.

@UKLabour cracking down on protests. Introducing digital IDs. What next, a UK version of the ICE thugs? #1984 #LabourMoreRightThanLeft

Absolutely mortified. Helping the eldest finish his coursework. Decided it would be good to laminate the pages he'd written. Had forgotten he'd used an erasable pen (jic) and the heat of the laminator evaporated the ink. Now he has to rewrite half of it FML!

Watching Friends with the 15 year old. Chandler asks how you get a chick out of a VCR. 15 year old asks "What's a VCR?". How to make you feel old!

We've just watched #TheThursdayMurderClub on Netflix. Thoroughly enjoyed the film, but would love to know why Bogdan's part was different to the books?!

Sad to hear that Judge #FrankCaprio has passed away.

On the bus for the first time in many years. They're not as grotty as they used to be.

Back home from a chilled week in Bude. We've spent lots of time at the beach Eaten like kings. Most importantly I didn't think about work once. Exactly what a holiday should be.

It may have taken nearly 6 hours to do a 3.5 hour drive, but we made it. Sun, sea and sand for the next week!

We finally got the car back together yesterday evening. Shocks, springs, bearings, rubber mounts, low arms and a CV joint replaced... and it still bloody squeaks!

Car repairs take 2. You undo a drive shaft nut to find the last person cross threaded it. The threads are gone and you need a new CV joint. The auto parts place says they've got one in stock, until you get there and they haven't. FML. #DiyCarRepairs

Cars are rubbish. They're too expensive to buy new. Second hand is a gamble. Repairing them is hugely time consuming and / or expensive. #DiyCarRepairs
