mostly just being me...

@SecretsResorts @SecretsResorts I have. No response. No response to the many emails I’ve sent. No response on Facebook Messenger (except to tell me to send another email). A bit at the end of my tether now to be honest as I don’t know what else to do. Not great customer service.

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

@SecretsResorts Please could someone contact me ASAP? I’ve been trying to get a bill for a recent stay (I need it for a travel insurance claim after my flight was cancelled). Disappointed no one from Hyatt has been able to help and Secrets promised to send it and didn’t.

@HiltonHotels and @HiltonHonors Trying to check in through the app for a stay tomorrow and keeps erroring out. Customer service chat says “some technical error” means they can’t help. How do I check in?

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

@terryandrob Thanks Rob for tonight. Really enjoyed your stories. Poignant and fascinating. Thanks also to @WaterstonesNG for doing an awesome job as compère.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Paint over Mickey Mouse
Burn Where the Wild Things Are
Pulverise the lego
Set fire to the Christmas tree star.

Seize all the teddies
Bury every skipping rope
Paint the walls dark brown
Abolish all hope.

Went to see @OceanOnStage at @RoyalNottingham on Saturday and still not over it. It’s on until the weekend. Go and see it. @neilhimself wrote the book!

We have a lovely teddy bear that has, very sadly, lost it's owner. We found it yesterday and is being carefully looked after by our team in Nottingham, but we'd love to re-unite them with their owner. If you have lost this lovely teddy bear, please drop us a private message . 🙂

@TastingTable “The fact that the current monarch doesn't like chocolate is generally in line with British sentiment,” “Americans consumed more than 1.5 million tons of chocolate in 2020, while the United Kingdom consumed just 760,000 tons.”
You do know the UK has significantly fewer people??

#freeoctopus Please don’t farm these amazing animals.

[PETA UK @PETAUK]

Octopus are extremely intelligent and have been known to use seashells for protection, steal food from traps set by fishers, escape from aquariums, and even decorate their homes 🐙

[Compassion in World Farming UK @ciwf]

Octopus are fascinating, inquisitive, sentient creatures with individual personalities. Despite this there are plans to confine them in factory farms.

Plans by @PescanovaCorp to start farming octopus in Spain must not go ahead! 👎

@virginmedia desperate for help. My mother-in-law keeps having a recurring issue where her paperless statements aren’t being recognised. She’s being charged for paper statements but is set to paperless. She’s having to call every month and just sit on hold!!

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

Not response from @TheFlavaPeople . @GuinnessIreland - any idea where the mushrooms went?

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

@TheFlavaPeople Looking forward to this tonight - but were the mushrooms on the shopping list just for fun??? 🤣🤣🤣

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

I was gutted that I had to give up my @bookofthemonth subscription when I moved home to the UK. But finally unpacked and can display some of the collection!

@BritishGasHelp Engineer came to service my boiler this morning and now it’s not working. Being told that we will be without hot water now until at least Thursday. Really disgusted.

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

@craftginclub Bottle is awesome! Missing my copy of the magazine though - gutted as I had the afternoon set aside to read it :)

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

@GlobeIn_World Very concerned that a) most of my previous orders have disappeared from my account on the website and b) Vlad sent an email saying all artisan box shipping was “caught up” but I’m still waiting for my Indulge box from September.

[Ali Dean @AliDean1975]

Also, just realised, If things had been different, I would have been at Heathrow right now, about to fly home to Philadelphia.

Having a totally self indulgent few days reading. Loved the openness and honesty in ‘Becoming’ by Michelle Obama.
