Can't tell you the number of times vinted have told me to come to a private arrangement with a buyer or seller...

Seriously school group chats really highlight why society is failing. "I won't follow any of the rules regarding uniform, school arrival time, homework, reading, spellings or health and safety"

Asking for education here. Resistant starches when you reheat pasta a day or two later are supposed to be very good for you. Is it the same when you make toast? Is toasting bread creating a super food?

You come home from a 36°c heatwave in Europe the whole time everyone complaining about the heat at home. I have a jumper on.

Just finished listening to Frank Cottrell Boyce's "framed" in the car. Found it in the local library and loved the references to real existing artworks. Kids loved the ninja turtles references. Kind of sad it's finished.

'Hello human, nice to meet you'

I'd like #u&Dave to show reruns of #hignfy from longer than Brexit/COVID. go back to the beginning.

Shout out to all the parents desperately trying to avoid buying new uniform in this last 7 weeks. Today we had a shirt with a rip, yesterday was stained by tomato pasta sauce, friday grass stained. Add to that worn through toes in the shoes and they're starting to echo a vagrant look....

The Trump regime controlled US Supreme Court has allowed the regime to end the legal status for more than 1 million people. They are now subject for ethnic cleansing. www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-tru...

So thought I'd try vinted paid promo as I have got over 300+ items listed. My thoughts? So far I've sold less than usual despite it being payday yesterday.

Very exciting, Exeter Comedy Festival starts this week. Some of the bigger acts have sold out but there are still plenty of tickets available for all sorts of amazing people. Prices are very good value so it’s maybe worth taking a punt on someone you don’t know. www.exetercomedyfestival.com

I swear we have so many unnecessary disagreements..

When will wagon wheels be vegetarian 😂

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

Nothing as sobering about how little life admin you do as when an app (this time Duolingo) suggests you add friends from your contacts and out of 67, only maybe 20 are names you recognise and more importantly it can see people you've blocked. Which means they can see you. 😱

Why am I being asked how to do things that that person could use an internet search engine instead??

I wish that all @nationaltrust.bsky.social properties put families at the centre like Sudbury (or attingham in the summer). Far too many are still only focused on the grey £ and forget that families are the patrons of the future. We want to preserve history but engage our kids

#wbd2025 world book day @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social @philipreeve.bsky.social the boy's choice for today! He did tell me which pug he was but I've forgotten. It's definitely not the monkey though 😂 @waterstoneskids.bsky.social @oxfordunipress.bsky.social @blackwells.bsky.social

Discovered the wind had tried to relocate the greenhouse. Had to take half the panes out to be able to manoeuvre it back. Must cement it in.

I appear to be in costume making month. First a crayon, then wbd (he wants to be a cartoon pug) and also he's the arch bishop of Canterbury in the assembly about Victorians....

Duolingo is far too frustrating recently. Today its no double/triple xp tracking across the three accounts I manage (kids), the other day was losing lives because the answer they said was entirely incorrect

It's really becoming hazardous to drive at night. If it's not cyclists without lights, helmets & reflectors dressed in black it's dog walkers also dressed like ninjas appearing from the shadows to saunter across the road. Add to them the cars with no lights....

Guy at swimming having a phone call on speaker phone. Talking about taking out a dividing wall. Doesn't have a clue if it's structural. "Three bags of cement should do it?" Dunno what he's bought but he's just given out his full card number, three digit security code and his postcode...

I don't understand people who don't drive through spaces in car parks when they can. I hate reversing out

I once thought I wanted to be a registrar (births marriages and deaths) and then every so often I'm reminded that I have no filter when presented with daft kids names. Today's? A poor child called "cordial"

Here's a thought (trifle related) does crystallised angelica even exist anymore?

I'm already at 51% bothered to do my tax return but when the laptop decided it has a windows 11 update to install I may as well give up

No idea why the gold gilding is peeling off with the oil based lino ink but the silver doesn't.

It's been one hell of a November so far, not in a great way. Roll on December and some normality

When you wonder whether Richard Osman listens to "help I sexted my boss!" 😂

I've cut my thumb - eosine to the rescue. Now everything is red. Even stuff I've not touched. Also I'm off to Asda looking like I've been removing dye packs...

Working on a lino carve It's taken me two hours to get this far and I'm not convinced it'll look good when I'm finished

The snowman of your dreams*... *Sorry nightmares. The snowman of your nightmares.

Should I be concerned by being followed by #boringposts account? Probably but then again they're probably not wrong as this (hmm now I'm confused) 'message' 'statement' 'skied' affirms. What is the slang for a message on here?

Gah need to be online for a meeting and the pc is deciding that it's going to work just enough to torture me with a blank browser screen.

Fully expecting bluesky to crash now that they're telling everyone on BBC politics live...

If I only had the confidence of this teenager 25 years ago. Also excellent taste in music. #nantwich #busker #teen

"I think that's recycling..."

Feeling guilty as I asked Jim for his bluesky handle on that there FB and he got put in FB jail... So give him a follow

Ever feel that sometimes an event is cursed? Gig tonight, that was cancelled a year ago. Mum was supposed to baby sit but has been quite ill, friend said last minute they would. Feeling of unease all day, and now a minor car accident. I think we should just turn around tbh.

I hate driving at night at this time of year. A 20 min drive through country lanes and no less than 8 drivers blinded me with their full beams.

I shall no longer worry about my lack of career direction as we're surely in for ww3 now.

So many small children being strapped into car seats in padded coats. #notsafe

Any advice what to do when an online seller fails to ship an order after 4 months? Paid via paypal, so can't claim back now. There was some to and fro about shipping but was assured it would be shipped finally in August. Independent retailer - FB posts are disappearing but no reply to messenger

Fireworks tonight

When FB shows how ridiculous it is by letting you edit a video using their tools incl. Music and then mute it... Go home meta, you're drunk

So hard getting motivated...

Anyone got a Railcard via trainpal? Can't tell if I can then use it with other ticket providers.

I'm new here... Wondering why my profile picture won't load 😂
