Prior to the update revenue inc. shipping, and now it's excluded. So comparing MoM or YoY data won't be like-for-like. 032

I’ve just had both at my local pharmacy. £115 for the pair. Yes, that’s expensive, but if you’re a freelancer & don’t get sick pay it’s probably a lot cheaper than taking time off. 520380

Jem Turner @jemjabella.com · 24/09/2026Interesting take, but not sure you can call football "dry". Everyone I know who goes to football matches drinks in the pub beforehand and/or in the grounds at the bar at half time, not sure the ban realistically makes any difference. None of them are "far right football thugs" though. 🤔 000

Jem Turner @jemjabella.com · 21/09/2026Customer payment failed because of an issue on the bank end, Square payment gateway (on Woo) throwing a missing nonce error at checkout. Nothing to fix from a tech POV, although Square could do with making their customer-facing error messages a little more ... culturally aware. 220

Jem Turner @jemjabella.com · 26/08/2026As the bandwidth usage (and costs) continued to climb, I finally managed to persuade the client to moved to a fixed server routed through Cloudflare 'proper' and would you look at that, b/w use is back at normal levels and they'll only have to pay ~$50 per month instead of ~$1200+ 250
