I make fewer excuses now for binging online content. It’s all digital land we live in, on a virtual timetable except for work and school.

I do have issues though with the acceptable amount of nastiness is considered acceptable in online chat. Hiding behind a screen doesn’t dilute the venom in an individual’s keyboard when things don’t go the way THEY want, and kindness and tolerance disappear. I feel sorry for the family and friends of individuals who hit the headlines on a regular basis. It must be hard to see the vitriol trolls unleash like an outpouring emoji representing vomit.

I can swear as violently as the next person (and I want to do so at the woman who reversed into the side of my car yesterday) but unless it’s a particularly pompous politician, I try to keep my vehemence polite.

But keys going missing is another reason to get my temperature to boiling point. The back door key has vanished and there are at least four of us I could blame… whose pocket have they ended up in?

And then the glass of our woodburner cracked so we have no heat the week before Christmas… which is far from ideal! We are not looking to assign blame but as I was finishing my online child safety course I won’t take any responsibility. That was not an easy morning for me so I am a bit upset at the thought of a cold and frosty house!

2024 is not ending positively with someone reversing so fast into the drivers side of my car there was a seriously loud ‘bang’! Ho ho bl**dy ho!
