Be careful with West Midlands rail fares. My ticket home has gone up by FORTY-THREE PERCENT since last week.
Was £3.50. Now £5.00.

Improvised comedy, Murder She Didn't Write.
A very, very clever bunch of actors. All narrated by the world-famous investigator, Iva Hunch.
Sniggered like a 12-year-old when they were counting banana skins.

Was looking at the Filofax online shop this morning before work.
You know how everything was out of stock on the Wilko website and how the shelves were empty in Bodycare before they both went under? The Filofax website is like that.

THEY’RE BACK!
The 12 Books of Christmas were a big hit last year, and people have been asking, so they're back! 12 wrapped books, one surprise every month of 2026. Prices from £48 (or £5 off if you reuse last year’s box). All I need from you is the preferred genre (if any), and I’ll do the rest.

All I wanted for tea tonight was Marmite on toast. It's a new jar and I can't get the lid unscrewed. It's daft to cry about a jar of Marmite, innit?

I thought I'd lost my streak a few months ago and then it popped back on there after a further 24 hours.
Made it to 500 days!!!

Does anyone know if nx buses in the West Midlands have a compensation scheme? My bus was early and I missed it by about 10 metres. Next one never showed up (would've got there just on time). Missed dental appointment- my dentist charges. 🤬

Finished this one!
Really enjoyed it, but Sara Cox saying he's the Japanese Agatha Christie... I didn't agree with this, but that's just me.
I wouldn't read it again, but a good book.

Just to make it absolutely clear... I voted for To Kill A Mockingbird.
Book club novel for next month. I'm the thicko in the group (I tend to zone out when the talk gets intellectual) so this is going to make my head hurt, isn't it?
