Wrote all my Xmas cards then clocked the total price of the stamps I’d need … How frowned upon would it be if I snapped a photo of the front of the card & message then WhatsApp’d it to the recipient? 😩

If you simply can’t go without setting off fireworks almost a month after Bonfire Night, may I suggest lighting one up in the direction of your rectum? Rumour has it, it has quite the effect.

I know money is tight this year but if you'd like to give a present to the women and children in the Brighton domestic abuse refuge where my sister-in law works this is their Amazon wish list.
So many of them turn up with almost nothing.
