So even though I just stopped paying months ago I'm still technically a member because they don't want to purge me just yet.

I think my membership expired around Feb/March time (I paid an annual fee so I can't be precise). Since then I got a letter asking me to resub some time in the Autumn. P sure I stopped receiving the CLP emails a month or so ago.

For the party ostensibly representing the precariat that’s probably better policy than kicking you instantly after one late payment.


lol All my plans for Xmas dinner for one now hosed. The last flatmate was supposed to be flying out tomorrow.
Guess I’m cooking for two now, but without visiting the shops cos that’s crazy right now.

The only gaps in the shelves in my local Asda this afternoon (I decided to brave it as I needed a few bits and bobs - it was crowded but a bit of surreptitious trolley-snooping revealed pretty normal just-got-paid-in-the-week-before-Christmas stuff rather than frantic hoarding) were in the washing-up liquid shelves, weirdly. Oh and they were sold out of mint Matchmakers, one of the things I went in there for, and now Christmas really is cancelled.

In a pleasing bit of anecdotal evidence my two elderly next door neighbours had their first jab a few days ago! Obviously it’s only a couple of people but it does lift my hopes a little that there is an end in sight for this.

If people really are getting the vaccine then as I was wondering recently: Is there any sort of plan (lol) or even an expectation of some sort of "I've been vaccinated" card? Because I assume as soon as anything is open again every fucker is going to be out living it up and claiming they've already had the jab so it's actually fine that they're shouting loudly while not wearing a mask

NHS neighbour got a vaccine on the 12th after someone defrosted 700 more than they needed and had to use up before they expired on Sunday so a fuckton of NHS workers got calls that morning to go in and get one.

That's just a chocolate finger, Matchmakers are their own thing. It's like saying Mint Clubs would be better if they were thinner and had fondant instead of biscuit, you've just invented an After Eight.

Having said that all chocolates should come in individual little envelopes like After Eights both so as not to slow down eating them the way those fiddly bastard Celebrations wrappers do but also still leaving a clear trail of shame tokens to at least slightly moderate consumption.
