I’m not a fan of April Fool’s Day, particularly on social media. Those lovely algorithms keep sticking painfully awful, unfunny ‘jokes’ in my feed for days after the 1st. I will admit, though, that this one has tickled me this morning!

I really dislike how every time I do so much as breathe I get asked to do a survey about my experience. Usually I ignore these but as a Nespresso aficionado I opted to do their survey. It is astonishingly bad with some ludicrous questions. I didn’t make it to the end.

Sad to read about the demise of Skype. Before @clairemchale.co.uk and I were married, she lived in Belfast and I lived in Sussex. In order to avoid massive phone bills I bought us both a 3 Skypephone, which gave us free minutes over the Skype network. Skype played a large part in our relationship!

Well who’d have thought it. £7 is not the “regular” price; it’s the rip off price to make Tesco Scamcard prices seem like a good deal, which they’re not. This is still £1 cheaper at my local, independent (and usually expensive) chemist’s shop. I despite this unfair, dishonest pricing strategy.

This photo just turned up in my memories in Facebook. It’s one of my favourite photos. In case it’s not obvious what it is, it’s the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Having ditched my Whoop after several years of use, I’m deleting the associated app. Consequently there’s a highly coveted spot available on my first Home Screen. Now I have to decide which app is worthy of replacing it! Contenders are Skeets, Glooko and SugarSnap.
