Apparently I have been a Google Guide for 9 years now, with 16,362,666 views of my reviews.

Am I an influencer now?! 🤔 :)

Thanks. Sadly nothing any of us can do apart from pay up and put up!!!

Exactly. I asked for a meter in March and I'm still waiting, with no date. Why would they worry when they can charge me silly money while I wait. Any other company I could take legal action about such behaviour!

They should. We literally have no choice and no option but to pay. It's scandalous.

Beyond fuming.....

Know a standout Forensic Science student?

I love working for a company that takes its environmental impact so seriously

Feeling sick! I live in a 3 bed semi-detached house, with one adult daughter who is rarely at home. The house cannot have a water meter installed so @SouthernWater holds me hostage and has put my monthly bill up from £48.70 to an eye-watering £73.29 a month - let that sink in!!

Thanks Spotify...... Apparently I also have an 'angry' playlist according to daughter and I don't listen to Spotify enough!

It's kind of something we do... only on December

Needed the break, bit Hot Frosty is not good!!! Even by Christmas film standards!!

It's up.... watching Hot Frosty with daughters now!!!

Need to finish the decorations in the room after... but almost there!

Trees up!!! Grotto in progress... Christmas film on as we have a breather!

Crashed down this morning, but busy putting up the tree and decorations

I drank half and then topped up with hot water.... definitely energised this morning!

My morning has not got off to a good start. I always, since my time at secondary school, start my day with a mug of black instant coffee! Today, I was sleepy, and distracted, and somehow managed to make a mug of coffee with two spoonfuls of instant coffee.... let's just say it was very unpleasant

Hi

Hoping this works bsky.app/profile/did:...

Yes it does.... it's suddenly taking off here....

It is quite good fun. I'm sure they will.

Yes got her and she's on the list.... building one by one... I wish I could share editing rights with you

What do you do on a Sunday in November with two adult daughters? Well in Southampton you go to the cinema to see Paddington in Peru at Harbour Lights of course! And yes you also take your 18 year old niece and your sister.... well you're never too old for Paddington!!!!

Thanks.... There were some I talked to more than others, partly owing to time zone issues.

It does and I did. Just added @thetysullivan.bsky.social to it. Trying to find everyone again....

Interesting

Can you add to it?

Just set up a Nordic Noir list here. So far only has you and @nasheridan.bsky.social on it. Hoping to find others....
