@thetrainline Thank you. I'll check that out.

@thetrainline
Question: my off-peak return Bristol to Durham was delayed causing me to miss my connection. Am I entitled to a partial refund? App says yes but the amount I can claim back is £0. Could you advise please? Thank you.

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

@thetrainline Yes I got there on the train I'd booked but it got to Durham 30 minutes late so I missed my connection. As the timing was tight, I've missed the event planned at the final destination.

@fionaallentweet Although you shouldn't have grassed us up for sitting in the car reading a book to get some peace... it's a secret!

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

Saw @fionaallentweet in her show On The Run at Edinburgh last night. Felt like she was describing all the funny bits of my own middle-aged life. Such a good show! Thank you.

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

Saw @joshbcomedy in his preview show in Edinburgh last night. Excellent, even when he wandered off script and just rambled with the audience. Very very funny. Go see him!!

@santanderukhelp @santanderuk Thanks.

The cashpoint didn't dispense the cash I requested thus afternoon and said contact your bank. My online account is showing the money as having been withdrawn.
What do I need to do to get this sorted please!

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

Went to Durham Gala to see @chrismccausland last night. Laughed all the way through. Really refreshing show with some proper funny bits. Laughed all the way home about his motorboating cow. Thanks for a brilliant night!

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

Little bit in love with my new @GUESS jacket, purse and bag. Great salesperson in the Gateshead Metro store today; only went in to look at a belt... LOL.

@MaisieAdam thanks for a brilliant night at Middlesbrough Crypt. Proper funny. Got face ache from laughing.
PS Congrats on engagement!

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

Wooo. Only a few days until seeing @MaisieAdam at Durham on Saturday. Really looking forward to it!

My husband just put the milk in the cup before the teabag and hot water.
Anyone know a good divorce lawyer?
I want the decree absolute to be through within 2 weeks.

@anon_opin Does that mean you don't agree that my poodle, Fishcake, looks sooo good with her purdy pink nails and floofiest of floofs?

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

@peterbrush_ you have a new fan! Loved listening to you tonight at Durham Gala. Your dead fish / grandma bit proper got me laughing! Thanks.

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

Saw @FernBrady tonight at the Durham Gala.
Have invented new word for watching @FernBrady : "snaughter"
It's the snort-laughing I experienced listening to her explanation of her wedding meal... Thanks for a great night, Fern!

@ShockedAtShit That's nothing, I turn 90% of my salary into wine most months.

@Fiido_eBike here's my T1 after having a total colour change from the box green to a vibrant red.
What do you think?

[The Duchess @MiddleAgeMayhem]

@Fiido_eBike what do you think of my total respray on my T1?
I absolutely love my T1, it's the ultimate ebike, but I didn't like it being only available in the khaki - so I've had her powder coated in a deep red.
I'm about 75% through putting her back together.

@DarlingtonHipp Swan Lake on Saturday night was absolutely brilliant.
What a lovely night out we had.
Thank you.
