If anyone wants to be friends in real-life, my user name is "Phil".
Hadn't fully done the maths but I was sure they'd made it almost impossible to get this Mewtwo by the end of the event. But now these bonus tasks have appeared it should be a breeze; basically only have to reach rank 35 and the bonuses get you the rest of the way.
I'm no political scientist, by-elections are not representative of a GE, and every area is different, but I nevertheless find it tentatively encouraging that ~24k wanted Not Reform UK, vs ~11k wanting Reform UK.
Donation number 74 in the bag. At 75 apparently I get a certificate.
Best birthday present: my wife got ACTUAL SWEEP to record a personalised birthday message.
Before the networks get busy I just want to say: good luck, we're all counting on you.

Bea update: after a worrying and at times very sad few months, I'm beyond delighted to report that Bea had an ultrasound this morning and - for now - she's got the all clear. Merry Christmas everyone.
Pleasantly surprised at what a good purchase this was. £20 from Lakeland. Good for crumbs, dust, dirt, cat hair, cat litter, or for cleaning keyboards, work surfaces, floors, stairs. USB charged so easy to just grab it and use wherever, and saves getting out/plugging in the Big Hoover.
Can finally get round to building that rocket I've been meaning to build since I was 8.
Bea update (see alt text, but in general she's doing great and we're super proud of her).
After a fairly traumatic day all round, our baby is home. The vet said she was a superstar. Now for the difficult business of recovery, and in about 10 days we find out how successful the op was. :/
Bea's having some pretty major surgery tomorrow and she's going to need to be extra brave (as will I). Fingers crossed for Bea.
