11/12/22- the day we welcomed to the world Lillia-Rose. You are perfect in every way and I’m so proud I get to be your mummy ❤️ We waited so long for you and we’re so in love with you. ❤️

dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it

Educators... how many learning walks/observations do you have?

@Se_Railway Perfect! Thank you!

@Mrs_B23 Hi Beth, you can certainly make a claim for delay repay and explain the reason. ^NM

@thetrainline @Se_Railway So what happens if it’s taken us currently 30 minutes to get off platform 10 to the ticket barrier at Stratford causing us to miss our connecting train with southeastern? Does that count for delay repay as it’s out of our hands

I’m very busy behind the scenes preparing to GO ALL IN for the National Year of Reading 2026 (not as busy as the BRILLIANT National Literacy Trust team!) and can’t wait to help (re)connect people of all ages with reading as a meaningful, modern, and social activity. The ambition is that the National Year of Reading 2026 will make lasting change to the reading habits of the nation to reverse the decline in reading for pleasure and unlock one of the most powerful tools for equity and opportunity: a love of reading that lasts a lifetime ❤️✨📚

To wrap up #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek, here’s a reminder of how to support learners with dyslexia 💡 These strategies don’t just help those with dyslexia — they make learning better for everyone. 💬✨ @DyslexiaScotlan

@Katy_primary97 Congratulations! Having our second has been fun- we’re only 3 months in!

I call this “what are we getting ourselves into??”

Now awaiting a call back as they still weren’t around at 5:30… I know it seems small, but we’ve had such a journey with this jaundice that I’m ready for it to be over x

Well I phoned, only to be told no drs on the ward until 5:30 🤣

Not a phone person, so having to build the courage up to phone the hospital to chase Arthur’s results… Just tried to ring and the lines busy… now I have to try again another time! 😂

When my grandpa Robert died, I always said if I had a boy I wanted to honour him with using his name. We named our little boy Arthur Robert George. Turns out that my Grandpa’s name was Robert Arthur & his dad was Arthur Robert… 🥹🥹

@CmtDbutterfly Don’t get me wrong; he’s definitely happy, healthy and well cared for but it’s been difficult this time round! 🙈

@Mrs_B23 He looks precious. Congratulations. And Oscar took at least 3 months to get to 'birth weight '. He was born 5.14lbs ... Dropped to 5.5 and we were told he should have been born about 7.6... Honestly, I wasn't bothered what they said. He was happy, healthy, well fed and cared for.

Arthur has been keeping us on our toes over the last 2 weeks with jaundice, tongue tie and slow weight gain. But today we finally reached birth weight and I’m a little relieved! 🙈 How is he already 2 weeks old I’ll never know!

Arthur Robert George has arrived and filled our world with more love. Lillia-Rose is already the best big sister to Arthur 🩵 12/07/25 when our hearts grew bigger 🩵🩷

How am I nearly at this point again?? This thread kept me entertained whilst being induced last time… I’ll need something to keep my mind off not being at home with my first born 😀

I’m a little fed up recently of a lot of things… Mostly of how people talk to me recently!

@hollieteach Little jealous that you’re starting now! I still have a few weeks to go before number 2 pops along. 🥵 enjoy the next part of what’s to come! Xx

🍼 Mrs B has officially hung up the lanyard—maternity leave starts now! Celebrating with a glass of nosecco. Next lesson… Becoming a mum! 🤰🏼💘🍾

Can’t believe she becomes a big sister soon!
