Tickets went on sale at 12.00pm. I clicked "Join the queue" as 12.00pm ticked over. How are there nearly half a million people already ahead of me?!

After three and a half years of living in this house, I finally got round to an important task.

Small detail - just noticed that the NZ shirts mention both Ireland and England, which means they’ve used the same shirts for both series. Thrifty.

Sponsorship alert... At the end of this month I'm going on a little walk, and attempting to complete the Five Peaks Challenge: hiking up every one of the highest peaks in Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland, and Northern Ireland, all within 48 hours.

£4.40. There’s only one thing that ‘a small enough to fit in my hand that’s worth that much, and it shouldn’t be available for sale or rent in Gail’s.

Ha! Yeah, the tiles are classic black and white so they go with the rest of the room.

Today I learned not to mix 20kg of tile adhesive if you’re not able to finish the entire tiling job in under 20 minutes.

Was out in Walthamstow watching an Iain Stirling comedy recording, and my brother just sent me a photo of me that he was sent by a random person. I really need to work on my posture.

Shifted this lot from behind my house to in the garden and then stacked it properly, and STILL haven’t got the body of Brad Pitt in Fight Club. This is some bullshit.

A colleague said that she liked my trainers today, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt happier. Watch out for your compliments, people; those of us who don’t get many will remember that shit forever.

Every now and then the kids and I choose a country and go full #NoSuchThingAsAFish by coming up with loads of facts about it while I serve up a themed three course meal. Tonight is Australia, so I’m prepping the pavlova. Any good Australia facts I can tell them?

Opened my bedroom door this morning to discover my daughter had decided to reorganise her room and have a clearout. Great.

I’m reliably informed by someone who knows a LOT more than me about colour theory that deep red isn’t the best colour for a bedroom, so we’re now choosing between these instead. Any preferences?

If someone doesn’t remake Porridge but set in this prison instead then we’re missing a trick.

Some prick smashed into my car at some point while it was parked, then drove off without leaving details. And as there's nobody else to claim from, my insurance company are now saying it'll go down as me being at fault. Bastards.

So glad I’m not on gas and instead my house uses oil. The whole gas container - which heats two houses - cost me £600 in August and I’ve still got over half left. I’ve no idea how people afford to heat their homes on gas these days.
