@CrazyVibes_1 They look lovely

I made these for my daughter's engagement party last weekend, and now I'm wondering if I should have just bought real centerpieces because half the family kept making comments about them being "too cute" for such an important occasion. The whole thing started because she's been planning this party on practically no budget - her fiancé is still in school and she's working two jobs just to pay rent. When she mentioned skipping centerpieces altogether to save money, I couldn't stand the thought of her special day looking bare, so I spent three nights hot-gluing tulle and cutting out tiny bow ties from leftover scrapbook paper. I thought they turned out adorable, and the flowers from my garden made them look expensive even though the whole project cost me maybe fifteen dollars. But then her future mother-in-law made this comment about "store-bought looking more professional" and my own sister asked if I was "sure this was the vibe we were going for." Now I keep second-guessing myself and wondering if I embarrassed my daughter instead of helping her. The weird part is, I posted pictures of them in a crafting group on a shop before the party, and everyone there was asking if I'd make custom sets to sell. Maybe I should have trusted those opinions instead of letting my family's comments get in my head. My daughter loved them, and that should be all that matters, right? Sometimes I think we forget that handmade doesn't mean less-than, it means made with love. Credit - rajae argotic

@ABridgen I went 6 weeks ago, not got any better now coughing up gunk off my chest. I have admitted defeat and filled the form in for someone to check my chest again 😔

SENT TO ME “Just rang the doctor surgery for an appointment -they said, the government now wants us to fill a form and then they would give us an assessment based on the form which is to be submitted online etc.and see if we need an appointment” “Andrew- this is ridiculous”

@RacingPost Deanos Beano 🤣

Name a horse you'll remember for the rest of your life 💫

@Met4CastUK Rain since 1730 just south of Lincoln just had a Flood alert for tributaries of the Witham.

21:25 WEATHER REPORT ❄️ What do you currently have falling out of the sky? Really helpful to collaborate reports with the precipitation type radar. Is it accumulating? Thank you so much!!

@impspur @NickJF75 🤣 I am just south of Lincoln and trying to work out if I can nip to the yellow rain zone for kids after school clubs and make it home again or if I will suddenly find snow 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🙈

@NickJF75 As I live in Lincoln been wondering that myself

A zone between Lincoln and Peterborough that has an overlap of yellow MO warnings for snow and rain tomorrow, which will it be? 😆

@FlixxFr @loki_weather Up nearer Lincoln and got both snow and rain warning 🤣🙈 so who knows

@loki_weather Think we are from roughly the same area in south lincs, in a rain warning here but I shall do a snow dance haha

What else could a midlands snow lover want?

@LondonSnowWatch We live in this area. I think it's a wait and see we either will end up with a fair bit of snow or nothing (lots of rain) 😕 not that helpful when planning travel journeys

I assume that where the two overlap it'll be yellow sleet?

@MetChasers So we could get anything in mid Lincolnshire 🤣yellow warning for snow. At the same time as yellow warning for rain.

Models now agree (more or less) on the track, intensity of the precipitation is yet to be resolved, and what falls as snow/rain is dependent on that for many areas Met office warning areas most likely to see notable snow, but elsewhere falling snow and even settling snow is possible Intensity is one of those things where we likely won't know until we see the low on radar, but regardless this is a multi-hazard event with strong winds/rain in the south west and central south, and disruptive snow in the midlands/north #StormGoretti

@LNER I booked for the 14th March (1st class lounge and train upgrade) and nothing was mentioned about it not being unavailable at kings cross. Not impressed as was wanting somewhere to wait for train out of the cold.

The First Class Lounge at London King's Cross will close later this month for an extensive refurbishment to improve our customers' experience with more seating and dedicated work spaces. Work is due to start from 26 January. Learn more: lner.co.uk/news/new-year-…

@d_lawrence89 @the_traitors_ I felt this when my kids bedtime was 9pm so I couldn't watch live and wait till next day so kids could watch.

@the_traitors_ Discrimination against people whose kids' bedtimes are at 8 but the kids faff around for ages so you don't get to start watching until 8.15 and then you have to keep pausing it while you check on them...you know, that general demographic

NEW 🚨 The Traitors has officially been moved to the earlier 8pm timeslot for Series 4! It was expected that the show would return to its regular 9pm slot as of Week 2. However, the BBC has now confirmed the new schedule.

@ThomasWBusby @Tesco I am having the same problems order due first thing in the morning 😔

@Tesco your app and website seems to be broken again not for the first time this week, how am I supposed to amend my order if it never bloody works

@charliersmith1 Perfect healthy body, keep running and enjoy it. You doing good gal

Since sharing this photo yesterday, I’ve been subject to some pretty horrible comments about my appearance and weight. I contemplated deleting it. But instead, I’ve decided to post it again to show I’m not ashamed of my body!! 😃

@MaskedSingerUK Example or professor green

Having a fab time @gumbynt trail complete dragon slayed now to enter the haunted mansion @nationaltrust

@Tesco @parsons269 Still having issues every time I go to load new item I get a gateway 504 error 🤷🏻‍♀️

@parsons269 Hi Gemma, Thanks for getting in touch. I'm so sorry to hear you are having issues with our website. Our IT team are currently looking into this with a matter of urgency. Can I ask you to please try again in the next 30 minutes. TY- Dale twitter.com/messages/compo…

@Tesco is there a problem with the website? Trying to amend online order and it’s now saying every single item in my basket is unavailable?

@BrexitObsessive @sharrond62 That is really sad to hear 😔 it is an uphill battle to keep them motivated. Look out for stories of female athletes coming up to the Olympics there will be plenty who were not the fastest, strongest at school but do superhuman things at the Olympics 😘

@sharrond62 I agree with this… we need split gender sports days from very very young. My little girl beat all the boys in her school in Year 1. By Year 3, she came 13th in mixed races, but still the fastest girl. But now she tells me she’s ‘slow’ because she sees herself going backwards

For those who say it’s ok to have mixed sex races in primary school sports days so little girls win nothing… facts are important! Little girls deserve dreams & wins just as much as little boys. Stop being cowards. Protect female opportunities

@LucyFaulkes @UKRunChat I haven't had a problem exercising post donation. Usually running around after the kids. Have been know to exercise before if an evening donation just didn't tell them. Had no problems

@runr_uk Only fit 2 a week no time at weekends due to childcare issues 🙈

How often do you normally get out to run in a week? It's not always easy fitting planned runs in to our days due to work, kids & general life, so if you find it tough, you're not the only one! Let us know what a usual running week looks like for you. #runr

@mrdanwalker @BBCSPOTY surely Helen Roloston award 2024

Love the fact that he has been honoured but does anyone else think it should be SIR KEVIN SINFIELD? Can’t think of anyone more deserving. He has shown all of us the true meaning of friendship and raised millions for his pal and transformed awareness along the way. #SirKev #Arise #KnighthoodForSinfield #KevTheKnight #Honours #NewYearHonours

@NicolaSillyBum 🤣 that's a full night cap of a few hours
