People who are unironically using the term ‘Jenny Lec’ for the General Election no doubt also count down in sleeps till they go on their holibobs with their gawjus famalam to chillax and totes legit can’t wait for wine o’clock on Fri-Yays to have a cray cray cheeky sesh babez.

When you’ve boiled your own tap water, had a dip at your local sewage dump, sorry, beach, had your NHS appointment cancelled, broken your car on a pothole, done your weekly shop made more expensive by Brexit and pulled your own tooth out, vote Tory - apparently they have a plan.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer. The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software. This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this . You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well. Going to have to learn some new tools.

You know when you miss a place and then you finally go back there and it’s filthy, full of rude people and has bad graffiti everywhere? Well I went back to my home town today…

Before I had kids, I assumed that if there were 4 of us and one person spoke, the 3 others would listen. No one warned me that there would actually be 3 separate conversations at the same time and one fried mother.

@clhubes I’m from GBBGBG so your theory stands up there

The other day, me, my son and my bike fell over when my son was trying his rear bike seat for the first time. He has not let this go. Earlier I was showing him pictures of a front saddle for him instead and he said, ‘now see it fallen over?’

As I silently, reluctantly sloped off to get the kiddos something, I heard one reassure the other by excitedly saying ´It’s OK! That’s Mum for yes!’.

Every day I think about buying carpets for my house but then my children remind me that I’m raising them as feral beasts.

@LauraJBayston They don’t know what they’re missing

My 2 year old often exclaims “Lucky me! Lucky boy!” and it’s beautiful.

We have to find money and ideas to buy all close family and friends presents now? At the coldest, darkest and busiest time of the year? What is this!? This is a terrible idea!
