Then We Were Four

@noboybands How are they so old!? No, we haven't really done any NFS things for a while either. I've dropped you a follow on threads.

@ThenWeWereFour Glad to hear it. Apart from holiday fatigue we're OK thanks. Our youngest goes to secondary in September. We've moved away from NFS over the years & I'm moving from X but links in profile if you want to keep in touch

The logic of anxiety... Something, unknown, triggers anxious feelings. Brain immediately goes back to all the times that I have previously felt like that and regoes over every event. Thus increasing anxiety, still without identifying the cause this time. Exhausting.

@noboybands Good thank you! Eldest going up to secondary in September 😱. How are you all?

@ThenWeWereFour It so is! How are you and the family?

@Robbiepierce This popped up on my timeline and I couldn't let it past without comment. I'd say "the sun went in" rather than down and "the sun has come out again" when the clouds move on

How do you describe clouds moving in front of the sun? My husband uses "the sun went down" and I am sure that's not right, but I can't think of a smooth way to say it. "Oh I'm glad the sun ______"

@MrBoothY6 Heard a prof explain-rooted in our dna,animals do it too. When windy can’t smell or hear where danger coming from so have to be hyper vigilant to save life. Chn brain have same response. Name it to tame it-it’s very windy, we’re safe in here though. Regularly. Try it, it works 👍🏻

@MrAlCoates @RBrooksTweets It's a rota until your advocacy for your child annoys the head and they veto any chance of them ever getting it again... I feel I should put "allegedly" in there somewhere. We moved schools.

@RBrooksTweets I just presumed it was a rota!

The many replies to this don't inspire any confidence in me that star of the week systems are worth anything at all. Seems like unnecessary stress for everyone tbh.

Why do people keep laughing and thinking I'm joking when I say to do a charitable donation instead of getting me a C-word present?

@emmalgsutton I've wondered the same thing, I don't think we've mentioned it yet. The thingis, many of these things run in families so it could be beneficial for them to know 🤷‍♂️

Question - if you’ve had a diagnosis, do you mention it in letterbox If you know, you know

@RAWRitsJ I had two within 5 mins of each other yesterday. One with a duplicate package of something I'd already received 🤦🏽

@professor_dave To me, the fact Rishi hasn't implemented any of her demands is a positive, but then I'm not her target audience 🤷‍♂️

Lots of words, none of them being 'sorry' or 'apologise'.

@STN_Airport Haha, my fault entirely! It's been fine, your staff have been really good at directing us to avoid queuing for too long, which has made it a very smooth process

@ThenWeWereFour We're sorry to hear you had to have additional checks and we truly hope the rest of your onward journey is smooth today!

Thank you @STN_Airport for what would have been a very smooth transition through security for my son with his lanyard 🌻, if only I hadn't forgotten that my ipad was in my bag 🤦🏽which made it get checked

Husband: you ok? Me: no, I'm feeling anxious H: what about? Me: I don't know. THE worst part of anxiety is when it's there for no reason you can determine. I find it hard to CBT my way out of it when it's like this.

Can't work out what I find more irritating, my son's insistence the word is "brung" or people who use bought instead of brought.

@leewhowrites I love that about your books, that it is incidental and not the main theme of the story. I recommended The Last Firefox to my children's school when they asked for diverse/inclusive books. My son took his copy in and put it on his class book shelf.

@KattyKay_ @CFraserBBC Great to see you both together again!

After a long day of Coronation coverage, I finally let @CFraserBBC in on my seret trick to broadcasting when its pouring rain. Have a look: instagram.com/p/Cr6ZY-fMLkG/…

Thank you @santanderuk for detecting and blocking a load of fraudulent activity on my debit card today. Still have no idea how they managed to get all the details, but at least it was spotted and addressed immediately. Glad my financial activity is boring and predictable! 😂🤔

Booked our first ever abroad holiday with the boys for the summer holidays. I have no idea how this will go. 🤞😬🤞

I just watched my once timid little boy sing some solo songs in front of 150 odd parents and teachers as part of the school's performance of Joseph and the Technicolour Dream Coat. Proud is an understatement.

@HTMISTERK I scored... 0... Am I... Old? 🤪

Gen X rules 😂
