I twigged when he offered me compensation (which I didn't expect as it was only a one-day delay) and expected me to install some obscure money transfer app. I knew RM wouldn't use that kind of app.

Scam Alert:
If you tweet Royal Mail about a parcel that's got held up or some other service issue, you'll get a dozen replies and quotes from fake customer service accounts. Ignore and block them all; they're scammers. #ScamAlert

What's everyone's New Year's Eve plans? I'm staying over at a friends' house and we're ordering Chinese. There will be 2 couples plus me. The sweet & sour prawn balls can be my plus 1 for the night ๐

Just watched the first episode of a series about the Titanic. What they went through must have been absolutely horrific! Feeling very grateful for all the good things in life right now! #JoinIn
Today was Christmas part II with my father's side of the family. Ate far too much food (again) and came back with more chocolate to add to what I've already got! #JoinIn
Did anyone else find this year's Christmas dessert offerings from the big supermarket chains a bit disappointing? I don't like dried fruit/currents, spices or alcohol, so mince pies, Christmas cake/pudding and sherry trifle are off the menu for me which didn't help! #JoinIn
I decided to see if #JoinIn was a thing on #Mastodon this year. It is, but with only a handful of people. The only upside over there is that picture descriptions are the norm rather than the exception which is great for #blind people like me! #a11y
Happy boxing day! I'm usually at my father's, but he wanted to go out for food this year and we couldn't get a booking at our usual pub till tomorrow. It feels a bit odd. Off to my auntie's later for more food though! Just a shame I'll have to deal with my cousin again #JoinIn
Just caught up on #JoinIn
I love seeing what everyone else has been up to, plus I've been feeling quite anxious at night lately and it's a good distraction! Hope you've found something you can appreciate about today, no matter how small.
Today has actually gone by much quicker than I expected. Had to put up with my cousin being a knob and trying to wind me up a few times but that's nothing new. I've eaten far too much food, but that's what Christmas is all about! #JoinIn
Christmas is at our house for once, so technically I could have a pyjama day tomorrow...suppose I'd better make the effort and wear my Christmas jumper though. #JoinIn
Don't forget to do your bit for #JoinIn over the #xmas period, especially on #ChristmasDay
This initiative, championed for so long by @SarahMillican75, is fantastic to bring support to those who need a bit of company at what can be a lonely time.
Can't even spend an hour wrapping presents with my mother without bickering! I take part in #JoinIn because a lot of my views and values are different to the rest of my family and it's easier to say nothing sometimes. My heart goes out to those who are with people but feel alone
