@erinbschroeder Usually on lots of scraps of paper to start with. Then .txt somewhere, then building up the fidelity in Google docs. The very last stop is the CMS.

I can’t believe @British_airways think it’s ok to change my flight to one that’s 3.5 hours later. They’ll charge me a £200 “penalty fee” if I don’t like it and want to change it + the difference in flight cost. With 2 very small kids and a long onward journey that’s a big deal.

@eldevri I think the Tesco express ones are open and petrol stations if they have a food shop attached. Seems the M&S food is open at BP in Lewes (not sure where you are).

Without wanting to sound like a republican... I really need a pint of milk this morning.

@eldevri I woefully miscalculated. Which I never do for milk. Now I'm rationing.

@twhume Totally only just got to this. That’ll teach him/her for having even the slightest individualistic tendency. 10/10 for belly sliding though.

@Minette_78 I’ve had some really surprising results from “say one thing about your surname” - it reveals a little of the story behind the person, but also needs to be used with care as it can bring up vulnerable stories sometimes.

@Minette_78 A pick axe. Walk into the room holding one and say “Right. It’s time for the ice breaker.”

🗣 UK, ARE YOU FEELING HOT? Having lived in Spain and Australia, and brought up by Spanish family, I've learned a lot. Here is a thread on how to keep cool in this summer. My British mates often don't know these tips. Ignore if you already do... ☀️🧵

Who fancies an impromptu quick half after work in Brighton near the station? Work-talk or to catch up. Whichever. It’s been too long since I’ve been in town (DM me so it’s not embarrassing if no-one replies 😜)

I think there might be an issue with the NHS 111 phone script. Wanted to ask about meds for a 2 year old (while I have a spare moment) but because he’s asleep, like a normal kid at night (and I didn’t want to wake him up) they have to “assume he’s unconscious”!? Eh what!?

Once upon a time I bulk bought black socks. Now they’re all wearing out at the same time. Now I’m going to buy lots of organic cotton patterned ones, but I just can’t choose. Want to choose for me? #lockdownactivities #thegreatsockhunt

Taking ‘me time’ these days means sitting in the carpark of Waitrose (it’s closed, I’m the only car) and listening to Classic FM. The rain on the car roof reminds me of camping.

Thankfully 2020 was resilience training, because 2021 is the next level.

It’s funny how when you list something for free on Facebook marketplace, you open yourself up to all sorts of abuse from the people who message you.
