Childless Headteacher/ Widow

Update: At 3:55am this morning, I lost my best friend, husband and soulmate. Mum is making slow but steady progress. Please forgive me for my going 'under the covers' for a day or two. I will emerge ...

@Childlessness It's a huge change - that 'we' to 'me' xxx

Want to see a baby make 60 million neural connections? 🧠 Look no further than this fantastic video. As they bide a little time in the car, our hero and his dad engage in this lovely “serve and return” interaction. And it’s hard to tell which of them is loving it more. If you’re a new parent or grandparent, know that these face-to-face, back-and-forth interactions are one of the very best ways to light up your baby’s developing brain. At birth your baby’s brain is home to up to 100 billion neural (nerve) cells - but depends heavily on early experiences and interactions to help create the connections between them that will go on to undergird language and more sophisticated forms of cognition. During the earliest months of life researchers estimate that these neural connections occur at a rate of one million per second - meaning that 60 million or more occur over the course of this beautiful one minute conversation. Talk, talk, talk to your baby. The payoff will be huge. This loving father and son duo was shared to TT by smileybunch.

Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent. Don’t allow yourself to be alone with this.

The @PostOffice were utter bastards to their Post masters over the #Horizon scandal. They hounded people through court, prison, out of homes, jobs and refused to accept the computer system might be screwed. The CEO Paula Vennells CBE never took responsibility. #PostOfficeScandal

In 2006, Noel Thomas from Anglesey was sent to jail for “false accounting”. He was one of the 700+ sub-postmasters wrongly convicted in the Post Office IT scandal. This was outside the court in April 2021 when his conviction was quashed after more than a decade of fighting 👇🏻

Alan Bates turned down an OBE as Paula Vennells, the woman in charge of the Post Office through the Horizon Scandal, retains her CBE and refuses to give it back. A man of honour 🙏🏼❤️ #MrBatesVsThePostOffice #PostOfficeScandal Alan, 69: “The first thing that sprang to my mind while reading the letter (offering me an OBE) was Paula Vennells still had a CBE. I felt so deeply insulted. She presided over a policy of harassing hundreds of innocent people. It’s not just that the Government hasn’t asked her to return it. What’s even worse is that despite knowing the strength of feeling about it, how people have suffered and some cases died on her watch – she doesn’t feel inclined to give it back.” Alan accepted a @PrideOfBritain award in 2023. We were over the moon to give that to him. Not all heros wear capes 💜 @DailyMirror mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/p…

Twitter do what you do best and light up #PostOfficeScandal #PostOffice If you're not watching then get it on ITV Hub. I have the absolute honour to know one of the folks depicted and what she went through is sickening. radiotimes.com/tv/drama/mr-ba…

URGENT, please retweet to help Max find a FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME - CURRENTLY IN #DEVON #UK This is an urgent appeal for a new foster home for Max as his current carer is no longer able to keep him. Max, Staffy Cross aged 10, needs an experienced, pet-free home, preferably in a quiet area, with a physically strong person who is home a lot of the time. He can live with children aged 6+. Could you help Max? Max is currently in Devon. We will arrange transport to his new foster home but it would be best if it’s within a 3- or 4-hour drive of Devon. Although initially seeking a foster home, we would be happy to hear from anyone wanting to foster Max with a view to subsequent adoption. DETAILS or APPLY👇 oldies.org.uk/2023/urgent-ap… #dogs #pets #AdoptDontShop #animals #Staffy #Staffie @oldiesclub
