@anna_tims This is totally amazing Anna! Journaling every day for 40 years! Wow. I know cos I'm just finishing a year of putting my 1984 diary online, week by week, 40 years later. If you did that, you'd have to live your life over! You can find mine here. sebastianmerrick.substack.com

I'd love to hear if anyone else has kept up a daily journal through life theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

@WendyVarley That's amazing. You've certainly beaten me to any journalling record! I would love to know how many people are closet diarists.

@revphilipgreen You too? I wonder how many of us are out there! Is yours written every day?

A wonderful article from today's Observer about the joys of keeping a diary. As someone who has done so for 40 years, it's comforting to know there are other like-minded folk out there! theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

@BirdboxPR Really? That's wonderful to hear. I've always wanted to know if anyone else was so dedicated/obsessive! I wonder how many of us are out there...

@anna_tims Like you, I started my diary in 1984 aged 17. I hand wrote every day until 2009, then typed and printed each diary until 2015. I continue to write every day but the files remain electronic. Enjoyed reading your article which really resonated with me.

@CambridgeTricia @AirbnbHelp Can you email me the details of the case, listing link, booking ref, evidence from the owner etc My email is at the bottom of my column, Your Problems
English

Having this nightmare in NYC @anna_tims. #Airbnb @AirbnbHelp refuse to cancel & refund my booking after discovering the person I rented from is not the owner. Met him accidentally. Listing is fraud. He's cancelling tenant's lease. Can't get clear answers.

Were you left stranded abroad and left to fund hotel and food costs after last week's air traffic control meltdown? If So, I'd like to hear from you for an article in The Guardian #journorequest

#journorequest Do you pre pay for prescriptions? Have you been fined because you were unaware that you're pre-payment certificate hadn't auto-renewed. I'm a Guardian journalist and would like to hear from anyone affected

@anna_tims Hi Anna, I'm sorry to hear this. Do you mind sending a DM with some further details so we can investigate this? ^CM

@SW_Help My 16yo would have had to spent the night at the unstaffed station in a storm if a hotel manager hadn't taken pity and bent the rules to let him check in. My complaint via your webform hasn't even received an automated acknowledgment. Your customer service is a disgrace
English

@SW_Help The conductor and driver of the 1827 from Clapham Junction poled out on dozens of passengers they'd dumped at Yeovil Jct without ensuring they had onward transport or the means of paying for a hotel. My 16yo faced a night on the station because hotels don't accept minors

@RevRichardColes Would you be willing to talk on the record about the marketing calls to your mother for a feature on the issue in The Guardian?
