@hollieteaches Try Vicks first defence it’s worked for me a few times x

Of course I’d pick up an awful cold 5 days before going into hospital for a procedure. It’s been rescheduled 3 times so really need it to go ahead. Any tips for getting rid of a cold quickly?

@JustMissEmma Oh my goodness! Go to the press if you can. That’s appalling! Or maybe your local MP? Shout up if we can do anything to help? Xx

Oh hello! How the jeepers are you? Do you remember that thread I posted about the historic failings of our private care company, and how we wanted to give our carers a little extra on Christmas Day? Well… that little factual thread has resulted in said company giving me 28 days notice and removing my care. Apparently, wanting assurance that vulnerable disabled adults are secure, safe, and basic structure in place to ensure no abuse continues is simply not acceptable. How did we get to a position that our local authorities are giving rolling continuing contracts to private organisations, without any communication with the actual residents or patients to safeguard them…. and ZERO accountability? I’ve never been more frustrated in my entire life. We may be in wheelchair’s and disabled, BUT WE DESERVE TO BE HEARD!! @lpoolcouncil you need to hear us! #DisabilityRights #WeHaveVoices #ListenToOurStory

@alit224 @DiabeticDadUK My son has had great service from omnipod and dexcom. Only thing with dexcom is they never allow room with the timing of deliveries for error. Like for example a sensor falling off a few days early etc x

@DiabeticDadUK I’m having a terrible time with omnipod 🫣. I’m still on libre, and they seem to be much better than they used to be at replacing promptly! I’ve found Omnipod’s customer service/ care department atrocious 😭. Makes me want to go back to multiple daily injections

Just me, or is anybody else not getting their essential medical devices on time from Dexcom? #GBDoc #T1D

@TeacherBusy In Nottinghamshire we have 5 weeks summer and 2 in October and it’s so much better. One week after that first half term is not enough for the staff or the children it’s such a tiring half term settling into a new year. Not sure why other LA’s haven’t done this x

I’ve said it before and I stand by it now, I’d happily give up a week of my summer holiday to have two weeks off in October. It’s already Thursday of half term for us and I am not well rested and I’m not ready to go back next week. This term is too long.

@wonder_winston It’s a dogs life 🐾

Yooo hooo, it's me Walter. Can you see me AGAIN! Is the algorithm still working? Guess what? I got a treat off the man driving the bin lorry today. Best day ever!!!!

@DeputyGrocott Perfect place. We’ve stayed there lots of times. Transport links, lots of food choice in the Stratford centre if you want it be back that way when you eat. Nice mosey round the shopping centre if you fancy it. Parking in the shopping centre for your stay not too badly priced

Stratford…London…ok to stay with kids and then visit London from?

@PaulRidley5 Take your prescription to Asda opticians they have frames from £40 and everything is included like bifocals and all the extras other places charge for

My wife had an eye test at a local opticians today & was told her lenses would cost £430 plus frames & of course £73 nhs reduction. No plan for people on low incomes

@Miss_Grimmer They come to you.. and everyone digs in with the cooking etc. We have done this since my eldest son who is now 20 was born. Luckily both sets of parents live close so they can come and go quite easily x

@LTeacher123 We have an challenge exercise book for each child on their table and some general maths and English challenges already printed that they can choose from and complete obviously they have to be at a level they can complete independently.

I haven't taught infants for ages and I'm going to Y2 next year. Had transition day today and I'd forgotten how quickly they get through everything! What do you do with early finishers?

@Type1Tony Baby oil on cotton wool

@WynnExtraPhotos @PrimaryWynndale Was a such a fun day! Some fab photos here 😊

We've had a brilliant day at WynnExtra! @PrimaryWynndale

@DiabeticDadUK Pmsl..

The unsolicited advice hypo alert. *Big hugs* Try treating your hypo with 13.75g of carbs and four salt and pepper croutons from Waitrose. Have you been checked for chicken pox? My uncle once mistook chicken pox for a hypo. Might be cancer, of course. #AlternativeCGM

@CassHT I did it.. I now do yoga weekly at a class but I started in lockdown with Adrienne. I used to suffer with lower back pain but yoga keeps this at bay now and I’m much stronger and more flexible than I ever was. Yoga is fantastic x

And we are off! Who else had a go at today’s video? As a complete newbie to yoga, I have learnt two things: 1. I am wildly inflexible 2. I can and will persevere when faced with a challenge

@DiabeticDadUK We have an appt on the 10th Jan for closed loop for my son apparently we will be the first ones in our clinic to get it 🥳

The Hybrid Closed Loop news is exciting, isn't it? You might read many things on many sites. The media, as usual, will get some things right and... maybe be a little creative about other things 😄 Personally, I think it's wise to be patient (as usual) even if you're obviously eligible. I suspect the hardworking #Diabetes teams will need some time to get everything right. So, I'll be waiting for my next appointment before making enquiries. It'll happen 💙😊 #GBDoc #T1D

@charliersmith1 So lovely to see you on here and hear your fantastic news congrats! 🥳

In very exciting news, today I signed a book deal! It really is a dream come true 😭
