I’m desperate to finish The Foundling by Stacey Halls is away but at the same time dreading it coming to end. I’m so invested, I’ve already cast the TV version.

To all THE OUTNET customers… DON’T DO IT. Read TrustPilot reviews and take heed before you order again. I’m having a nightmare and so are lots of others. Something gone very wrong there #theoutnet

l*la (derogatory) Dog had a raspy cough. The vet went right over him, x ray, blood tests and it was all a big mystery. Out of the blue the vet asked me to cough. I coughed...the dog coughed...I coughed...dog coughed again. Turned out the whole family had colds and the dog was trying to fit in.

Bought 12 eggs from Aldi Stores UK and so far all of the five used have been double-yolkers. What does this mean? I’ve bought a Euromillions ticket. What next?

Every August we get much outrage at Christmas stuff in the shops. Usually accompanied by “is this the earliest ever?!” caption. No, it’s not. See your tweet last August 🙄.

We often feel awkward and don’t know what to say when someone is grieving. Please talk about the person who has died this Christmas, it will mean the world. 🧡🌲🧡 #saytheirname

My eight-year-old is reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I told her I read it when I was about her age too. She deadpanned: “Was it in colour?” 😵‍💫

If you haven’t discovered Naomi Channell’s Real podcasts yet, I’m hooked. I reported on the Charlene Downes case all those years ago and Naomi covers it in such sensitive detail. Tricky subject but pitched perfectly.

Thanks to those of you asking for this. Here’s the full Drum & Bass remix of the BBC News theme. Composed by davidlowemusic, remixed by @crissycriss. And made with this afternoon Glastonbury Festival in mind…
