@WickedKitchenWW I went to eat some of your normally yummy jalapeño burgers on their use by date and they were covered in mould 😔 Please can you let me know how I can get compensated? I have photos which I can share with you. Thank you!

Thank you so much to @FMummies and @beaglevision for having me on to talk about IVF, having a balloon put up my fanny (by a health professional) and giving birth during lockdown. Please give it a listen and support this amazing podcast 👏🏻 👏🏻

@Terra_Nation Help! I accidentally placed two orders for the same tent. I emailed straight after to explain and cancel one of the orders but my email bounced back. Is there a number I can call to speak to someone about this?

It is a big news day, but my favourite has been the exposé on cocaine taking in boules/ pétanques players "They go to the toilet and do not throw a wrong ball when they come back. They really feel like the king." https://t.co/QcX3aOtvZm

On a small jog this morning, greasy-haired and in old baggy-at-the-knee leggings, I was chirpsed by two separate groups of workmen. Guys, we’re never going to get in shape for you if you put us off exercise!! #everydaysexism

[Lizzie Bates @Lizzie_Bates]

Amazing! Congrats @gusman

[gus beattie @gusman]
