Oh @Barclays, haven’t you heard of underpromise and overdeliver? Don’t tell me something will be done in 24 hours then, when I ring to check, tell me it’ll actually be 48 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ #wouldnthaveminded #justdontlietome

It’s been one helluva year and I am well and truly ready for a break! So, I’m following @yourclearday’s advice and remembering that I get to decide what kind of boss I want to be - and I care about my team’s (AKA my) wellbeing! #ChristmasCountdown #smallbusinessowners

Know anyone who’s taking a shot at the Christmas no.1? I do!! SO proud of the amazing @libertysinger73, Jackie Shears and their ICU Liberty Singers for creating a re-make of @OfficialSting’s classic. Preorder your copy here: orcd.co/lwnv105

Sooo.... Magic Light productions releasing Zog and the Flying Doctors for Christmas. Given this year’s trend for press leaks, is this a hint at COVID vaccine contents?? BRB, just off to find some mermaid scales...

Technology fail - attempting to carry out a Zoom interview on my laptop while still plugged into my phone headset. Took me longer than it should have to figure out why their voice was so distant!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ #ITfail #isithometimeyet #longweek
