I need some ideas for new ones. Mine are:
The Daily Mail (Yes, I know, but any decent journalism has a paywall)
Mumsnet
Wordle.
Then I run out of things to browse and end up on Ocado, placing an order that I'll adapt a thousand times before the edit deadline.

i don’t go near twitter. It’s a cesspit. I never leave twitter without feeling depressed, and the only person I follow is that wee goth historian, Janina

Mainlinethehappy · 11/02/2023 06:27

Heavens - The Guardian! How did I not know this? I was so doubtful I just tested it and you're all right - no paywall! Thank you!
I now sound like an advert for The Guardian...

For me usually the Met Office, BBC, Wordle then (at the moment) Amazon as I've a few bits in my basket I'm hoping will drop in price before I order them for dd's birthday.

I like a browse on rightmove to see what dream houses I can't afford. For new Sky News is free and not bad.

SalviaOfficinalis · 11/02/2023 06:40

I read the independent sometimes too. It asks you to sign in sporadically but I think it’s free to sign in.

Agree with usually feeling bad after being on twitter. There was one point where I thought it was giving me high blood pressure.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 11/02/2023 07:07

This morning is Flight Radar, My Ds is on his first trip abroad with school so Ive got up to check he has departed ok. That probably makes me really sad 😅
