Little update. I tried to do a video but, as you can see, I was being heckled. So, the 2nd surgery went well. It gave them a clear margin for the original excision which is great. They did hit a new patch of precancerous cells on the other side of the new bit but, thankfully …

Just wow to the comments on this,why do the public hate us so much?We have the worst mat pay in the public sector &worse than plenty of private companies. Worse than all my ‘mum friends’.We are POSTGRADUATE qualified professionals (like lawyers etc.) &deserve to be rewarded as so

For too long maternity pay for teachers has been too poor. Today our Labour government is taking a first step towards changing that — doubling the number of weeks at full pay. With Labour, change is coming for school staff. lbc.co.uk/article/teache…

@Katy_primary97 We put a timer on and when it went off we took him to the toilet. Give lots of water to drink so that he gets used to the feeling of needing a wee. We also had a pom pom jar that got filled when he did wees and poos, with a prize once it was full.

Anyone else hold their breath for almost the entire of each of the men’s downhill races? And my knees! 😂😂

My 3.5year old did his first #drawwithrob today. I helped with the colouring, but the rest was ALL him! I couldn’t be prouder!

@LeeBraganza Probably best not to let you know what’s in store post 40 then! 🤪

Calf injury recovery complete! ✅
Back on court tonight and can't wait to play. I swear I never got injured before I was 35. Now I wake up with random aches and pains.

Please name this puppy.
In case it’s helpful, he has almost no tail.

I want to hear what the Greens have to say. I want to hear what the Lib Dem policies are. I want balance and proper challenge but all we're getting is Reform insanity poured into our ears. The danger isn't from asylum seekers. It's all from far right media and billionaires.

@LeeBraganza Why can’t you just buy the school badge & either sew/iron it onto the supermarket sweatshirts at home, or better still, get the PTA to iron them on! Polo shirts, don’t need a badge! I’d be happier buying a badge, for a nominal amount & sewing them on a £5 supermarket sweatshirt

Primary uniform needs to be affordable. We need to bin off these specialist shops. You should be able to get it from a local supermarket and it to last. Also super comfy for them to wear for most of the day.

@TsuiAllen I would love to pick your brain about leading computing in a small school.

So much I agree with in this post! I’m definitely trying to incorporate more consolidation, next year. I taught time last week and counted 4 different exercises they had to cover, when the first was just too much for most of them!

I hope the curriculum is being carefully looked at & teachers are being consulted. Many ‘working towards’ children simply haven’t had time to consolidate skills, rather than being less able. We’ve got a maths curriculum that fires a variety of strategies at them without them ever being secure in one. Then we quickly bombard them with an obsession with ‘reasoning’ without them being confident in the basic skill. In English, they are expected to write to such a high standard by 11, they inevitably get rushed on. Children end up confused.

More coach dramas with @biggreencoach Stopped in Swindon (a massive detour) No one to pick up and now our driver is saying that he has to take a 45min break at 4:30. He also says he needs to wait 9 hours when we get to Cardiff. @ticketmasterhq1 bin this company off!
English
Waited almost 2hours for our @biggreencoach to Cardiff. Fobbed off and lied to by the company. @TicketmasterUK should review their partnership with them for events. No toilet on the coach either 👍🏻

@CrowtherSim It’s like he’s had some sort of reform-lobotomy! So out of touch! Ironic, after his “I get it” comment.

Keir Starmer really needs to get the Reform intern to stop tweeting for him. The ineptitude of government comms never ceases to amaze.

Had a terrible experience with @TalkTalk where they started charging my mum for a broadband data add-on 2y after the account was closed! Then, in 3 months, trebled the amount and sold the ‘debt’ to a debt collector. She is 75 and recently widowed. @MartinSLewis

@LeeBraganza Our 6 year old has started calling my husband ‘big fella’ 🙈😂😂 neither of us know why, but hearing her say ‘eh up big fella’ in a Yorkshire accent has us in hysterics every time 🤭

The seven year old is rebelling against me hard. She's even got the baby involved. He now won't call me daddy but refers to me as 'man.' 😭😭😭
