JaJa are shuttering. Thanks, as ever, to @MoneySavingExp for pointing me towards an alternative fee free travel card. Few clicks and done - easy!
Can someone please give @alexa99 a geography lesson! I’m reasonably confident #Coventry is not in #Yorkshire despite claims to the contrary!
Got stopped by @metpoliceuk earlier after someone found a card skimmer and thought it was me. Very professional PACE search and I’d rather that than getting scammed given I was about to use that ATM.
@BBCBerkshire @andrewpeach Me next to some bananas on Madeira island. These are a bit smaller than the variety Fyffes use.
Was doing a bit of sleuthing after spotting two unknown device names on my IoT network. They both had open http servers with obvious passwords (take a guess). Eventually found the culprit - my @hellowynd air purifier! At least I know my IoT sandbox is doing its job!
£290 earned from switching bank accounts I had to close anyway (e.g. Tesco). Easy money! @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow
Big queues of people panic buying #petrol in @newburyberks town centre. How long before that turns into people’s homes accidentally burning down? Just stop it! #petrolshortage @BBCBerkshire
In case anyone thought that their data is safe on the likes of @onedrive or @SharePoint - fair warning, I downloaded a 1.3GB file four months ago and it was fine. Downloaded the same file again today and its different by 812 bytes. Cloudy bit rot, or a corrupt re-sync, who knows?
Well that didn't last long. Used @MoneySavingExp Cheap Energy Club to switch to @UtilityPoint a few weeks ago, now they're shutting down and I'm headed to SOLR. Oops! @MartinSLewis

Lee-Anne’s story on @itvMLshow rang many bells. Well over £30k in debt and re-mortgaged a couple of times too. I cleared the mortgage last month and now have savings. Keep at it, it can be done! Thanks @MartinSLewis!
#cometNEOWISE (C/2020 F3) is getting fainter as it moves away from perihelion, so I thought I'd have another go while I can. Don't have any memorable landmarks nearby, so a few trees will have to do! :) @newburyastro
