@lisa_enough You don’t have to get it!

@OurNewHomecoach I don’t think I do honestly. I can “talk” to myself and say I did the best I could, I could say I had no malice, I could say you can’t ascribe evil intent on a 16 year old, I can say that others who were adults were in the wrong but whether I actually believe that in my gut ???

@OurNewHomecoach All the best Jenny!!!

@OurNewHomecoach @AnnaH5067 Oh no Jenny you are amazing! No amount of reading is enough! And unfortunately you can’t stop your kids from experiencing tough times, as much as you want to, but you CAN be there for them to rage into, and be a safe haven and it sounds like you are that!

@bevvo14 @abcnews @ScottLucas_EA @RedLippedAstro Go well Bev!

Shoes from a draw, what a wonderful #TheWorld to have been a part of #lastshow ⁦@abcnews⁩ with the wonderful ⁦@ScottLucas_EA⁩ ⁦@RedLippedAstro⁩

@SnarkyPlatypus I thought everyone’s did! I didn’t know it was only 10-15% of people! youtu.be/Kw2WsXIgO6A?si…

@HDunn_Writer Are you talking about a cucumber!?! In Australia, I’d say it’s a shortening rather than a regionalism. And there’s a brand in supermarkets called Qukes, which are specifically baby cucumbers

If I say “cuke” do you know what I’m talking about, or is this a regional thing? My husband didn’t know wtf I was talking about.

@clhubes Haha my 7 year old when he gets really upset yells at the 3 year old “you’re out of the family! I want you out of the family!” And also when I am upset with him he asks “am I out of the family?” which is very god father of him. And also funny!

Parenting today: 3 yo: I don’t WANT the helicopter! Me (sitting in front seat of car): ok, give it to me 3 yo: I don’t HAVE it Me: then what’s the problem? 3 yo: I don’t WANT it! Me: But you don’t have it! 3 yo: (Burst into tears). But I don’t WANT it.

@lisareality1 I know this is not the point of the story but how do you know he was from Pakistan? I ask this because I assume call centres are in the Phillipines or India or South Africa. It would never occur to me to think of Pakistan.

I had a phone conversation today with a very nice young chap from Pakistan. This is how it went: "Hello, how are you today?" "I'm very well thank you for asking, how are you and more to the point, WHO are you?" "Madam, my name is Sanjit, and I'm calling you from Microsoft.” "Microsoft, is that a city in Pakistan?” " No Madam, MICROSOFT, the computer company. I'm calling to tell you that we have found a problem with your computer.” "REALLY, that's quite concerning.” "Yes Madam, it can become very serious indeed but thankfully I will be able to fix it for you.” "No, I meant it's very concerning because I don't HAVE a computer.” “You don't?" “No.” "Ahh, it must be a problem on your laptop Madam.” "Don't have one.” "Ipad?" "Nope.” "Tablet?" "I have none of those things. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a telephone.” After a few seconds of silence he said "Madam, you are lying to me now!" I said "Well, you started it!!" and put the phone down.

@electron9_1 @carrot1476133 @danghentschel Me too

We hired a 22 year old at work. Yes, she's hotter than my wife. But she's not my best friend. She doesn't make me laugh. She hasn't seen me at my worst, and decided she loves me anyway. So, I'll pass. Thanks.

@danghentschel “I’ll pass” like she was on offer in the first place! She’s there to do her job, creepo!

@clhubes I did need to hear this today. I am currently beating myself up for introducing sugary cereals into the everyday breakfast rotation (rotation!) of my 3 and 7 year old and telling myself I am ruining their brain AND teeth.

@jverona77 Oh gross. When I was nine I had a sleepover and decided we would make cocoa but we ran out of regular milk so we made them with strawberry milk and we all vomited.

@sabinaposts I’m not a published author but I’m an agent and worked in publishing for a long time. If you’re offended, you’re offended. But I would ask, what more do you want - they bought your book, they read your book, they want other people to read your book. What are you offended by?

Question for published authors: if your friend buys a print copy of your book, reads it, and then wants to put it in a free library so someone else can read it, is that offensive? Personally, I would rather more people read my book, but I know I know lots of people are —

@sophiehannahCB1 Oooh and that one with Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo I forgot the title. That was great.

@sophiehannahCB1 Bodkin? You would’ve already seen happy valley and Shetland I’m sure? There’s an Australian show called Deadloch if you can get it.

X pals! I’m working approx 20 hours a day at the moment and desperately need an ace, gripping murder mystery movie or TV drama to watch where I’m so eager to know whodunnit, I’m swearing at the telly. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

People are so skeptical when you tell them about racism (are you sure? Maybe you took it the wrong way! Maybe they were joking) yet mention that perhaps you don’t particularly like the Sutherland shire and they’re like “excuse me I was born in Cronulla you know”

@MattCowgill I love the earnestness about Americans. And the taking things seriously. Always feel slightly uneasy when people are taking the piss and I’m like oh okay you’re joking? I’m not really a fat bitch? Okay!

@clhubes I will buy that book. My 3 year old sleeps on the bottom bunk, with his nearly 7 yo brother on the top. The 3 year old takes at least an hour to get to sleep, often wakes at 3am and then wakes for the day at 510. 7 yo sleeps from 730ish- 630 most nights. Sigh.
