@MartinSLewis Yes sadly can’t afford not to, I’ve been a single parent for 18 years. I work full time running a charity, and live in social housing, so house isn’t mine. Son (20) works full time and now has a good salary pays about £500 which is 25% of household outgoings not including food.
TELL US: Do u charge your adult children rent for living in the family home? How much? How's it decided? Do they pay a share of bills? If ur the one living with parents you can tell us too
Do reply for my pod on Wed; producers'll select some to read out. And do like ur faves
It is inevitable that there will be offcuts of cloth and lining in the tailoring process.
None of these are wasted.
We pass these on to amazing sewing groups who use them to bring their creative projects to life!!

@paddygrant I’m coming to @camartstheatre and wanted to give you this package about my charity @Sew_Positive (and flowers from my garden), but Box Office is closed til 6.30pm…. DM me if you have time today for me to give you it before the show? 🙏🏻 We are on Row P 3&4 #bigbow
@tortiegirl601 I’m so sorry for your loss. As a woman who has experienced 30 years of ob gynae issues (inc a total hysterectomy 6 weeks ago), I’m so grateful that your dad helped to do this absolutely amazing work, knowing my daughter and her generation won’t have these issues. 🙏🏻
My dear lovely Frank and I developed such an unexpected and deep friendship - the veteran Labour MP and me, the rookie Tory. But we shared the same passion for reducing poverty. I shall miss him so very much x

@frankfieldteam Very sad news. I was lucky to meet Frank in 2016 with Heidi Allen when I took a group of fellow mums to campaign to the DWP Select Committee, for changes to the #childmaintenanceservice what a fantastic, honourable man, full of humour and loyalty.
@DavidNWriter@MrFeditor@SceptreBooks Happy publication day! I’m recovering from major surgery and totally forgot I had pre-ordered this. A lovely present to myself to read during recovery. ❤️🩹
@VicHancockFell Absolutely. And ensure your kids (boys are finally being given this too) get the HPV vaccine when old enough. It’s the most important thing to reduce cervical and vulval cancers, among others.
@VicHancockFell Yes! Am on the mother of antiobiotics too at the mo…reading @DoctorChrisVT book #UltraProcessedPeople and it’s made me rethink everything. Plus @timspector Zoe podcasts. I’ve started eating kimchi and kefir to offset and reducing UPFs…my Kilner jars are calling me!
Today - great story with (some) heartbreak but (mostly) happy ever after.
Electra is lovely. Do join us.
