Watching David Beckham’s Boss ad and am concerned he’s going to have a flat battery. Why is he eating cereal? Why is he wearing undies in the shower? Why doesn’t he have curtains? I have watched the advert several times and I am still no clearer. I shall keep watching hoping for a breakthrough.

21 substitutes in today’s Asda shop. That’s about a 1/3 of my order! Next year I’m just going to send someone into the shop with some cash and say ‘Surprise me!’ 😂 (we have Turkey, wine and cheese so we’ve got the bases covered)

Such a wonderful book. So funny and wise. He’s one of my fave authors.

For the past month or so I’ve picked up a pack of pigs-in-blankets with every shop in case of a Christmas shortage. I now have 60 (piggies, not packs). But something compels me to buy more. Do I have - a) a problem or b) a heathy respect for seasonal food

Jo Jakeman @jojakeman.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
The boys love it but the only time I tried to watch one, I dozed off 😬 (and they won’t let me forget it ) My attention span prefers a sub two hour film, but I’m committed- and I do like the idea of sloth and brown food!

I have promised my boys that I will watch all the Lord of the Rings films with them this Christmas. There is now talk of extended versions and I am full of regret.

Of course! Will the poor child get his Christmas wish? It reminds me of an Arnold Schwarzenegger film where he tries to get a sold out toy for his son on Christmas Eve and ends up stealing it from a neighbour. Do you know the one I mean?

Without doubt, they should be snowed in! Oh and I like the idea of only one room/ bed left too. These ideas are gold!

I’m writing a Christmas novel I accidentally started on the train when I was visiting my sick mum (this is very much NOT on my to do list). Gimme your favourite Christmas book/ film tropes. I’m avoiding rich writers who buy castles in Scotland but anything else is fair game.

Managed to get home before the storm hit. Greeted by this sight at the airport. Alas, they weren’t there for me. But, for avoidance of doubt, this is how I want to be met off the plane from now on.

To the man on train listening to music without headphones - I would call you out, dude, but I’m quite enjoying listening to the banger that is ‘nothing’s gonna stop us now’ by Starship.

Staying at my mum’s this week and last night my room was full of flies - 20 -30 of the things. I immediately started looking for the dead body (as you do) but it turns out they were hibernating in the window frame. Who knew?

Why is writing a synopsis so hard? I swear it’s taken me longer to write this synopsis than it did to write the entire book.
