  • Just logged into my X account (formerly Twitter), after months of inactivity, and found out I’ve broken the X rules! Apparently, I’m such a troublemaker that even when I’m not tweeting, I’m still causing chaos. 😅 Now my account is in permanent read-only mode—like being grounded for sneezing in class! And guess what? I can’t even create a new account. So much for freedom of speech! #XAccount #GroundedForLife At this rate, I might as well change my name to Casper the Friendly Account, haunting the platform without a voice. 👻 Maybe I should start a support group for suspended accounts: "X-iled and Unbothered"! 😂 #Xiled #SuspendedLife If anyone needs me, I’ll be over here contemplating my life choices… or maybe just knitting! 🧶 #HelpMeX

    Quick Poll for Bradford B2B Businesses! 🌟 I've been thinking about networking groups. I tried one BNI meeting, but it felt a bit like speed dating—and the £899 plus VAT membership? Ouch! So, I'm considering starting a Bradford Referral Group with no membership fees (unless we need to cover costs), a relaxed atmosphere, and focused on B2B businesses. Let’s see if we can build something great together! 💼🤝
