A visit to my favourite bakery is a must when staying in this area. I settled for a ring doughnut with pink icing. Other half had his usual Tottenham Slice. 😋 #AlsBakery #Deal

Well, that’s a first. I was leaving the house this morning, a big white van turns up. The guy gets out and tries to sell me a mattress. So obviously stolen. The price went down from £975 to £200. Needless to say, I wasn’t interested and didn’t buy it. He didn’t like taking no for an answer though.

Don’t ever be tempted to buy anything from #Wowcher They fraudulently sold me a voucher from a company that no longer use them. I turned up for a meal, the place was closed. #Wowcher are ignoring my emails and I’m unlikely to get a refund. Absolutely appalling company.
