The buyers are supporting their parents/in-laws who have safely fled Sudan for the UK, and can therefore no longer afford a mortgage on a second home. I'm glad they're safe, but am also severely out of pocket at a particularly difficult time.

The St George's Cross flag is so gaudy I can't even. I hate that 1990s fashion is back in

Like, her five year old cousin has terminal cancer, which is horrendous, and now she discovers spider bites just... Suck? FML. I get it

Wednesday evening I grabbed a Coke Zero and my swimsuit. And that's the day I found out what a Center Parcs is. And that I'd been here all week, sitting in meetings.

On Monday evening they went swimming. "It's amazing," they said. I'd been working all day and was knackered so said no. Same on Tuesday. "There's an amazing slide Mummy. You're missing out." But... Back to back meetings, man.

Thanks, yeah, and this was a whole year ago as well. I've come on so much.
