Trying to apply for an ETA Visa for my partners French dad and the app doesn’t recognise his french home address so we can’t proceed with the application. @GOVUK not very helpful

@emmaclarkeillu1 Congratulations Emma 🩷

I was in Tesco when my agent sent me this! I’m in The Bookseller! So happy to share this news with you all! thebookseller.com/rights/bloomsb…

@abidaker We do during the day generally. Will be sad to see it all down.

Do you take down the tree before the 6th, during the 6th or after the 6th? I don't need another cursed year so everything depends on getting it right this time

Got the absolute worst restless legs since last night. It’s been so long since I’ve had it this bad and I don’t know what to do. I just want to kick out at things 😩

Eventually went to bed in the big bed with my daughter to keep an eye. And guess what? My GP rang this morning at 9am! I waited around for nothing 😩 Now we are a house full of disturbed sleep zombies.

Rang 111 last night for something relating to my eldest daughter, for the call handler to tell me that a medical practitioner will be calling me within the next 2-3 hours. I stayed in the living room until 3am waiting “sleeping” poorly and checking my phone all the time.

All I want is some peace and quiet in the evening but for the past week my eldest keeps waking up. First it was 10:30 and now it’s closer to 9:15. I have no idea what’s causing it

Has anyone ever experienced a subscription app suddenly changing your plan? I had a great yoga app that I had paid yearly for, which suddenly changed to 3 months plan for the same price. I’m livid. It’s crazy

There was a job on LinkedIn I’m convinced I saved, and now it’s vanished into thin air. I’m so fed up

Have watched That Christmas twice in less than a week. Such a great festive film.

@abidaker Thanks Abi. Yes top 20 is really good. Just a shame it wasn’t top 5 to at least get an interview

@AlicePotter you still did well. Will keep fingers crossed for you

Made the top 20 applicants out of over 400 for a job I really really wanted, but they are only interviewing the top 5. Hopefully something comes my way in 2025, because I need something.

It was my daughter’s first school nativity today. We decided to miss the 10am performance and go to the 2pm one instead. Sadly, I got a call at 11:30 to go and pick her up as she was so ill. So we didn’t get to see her performance at all 😞

@savannarawson They would know 🫣

Spent all evening crafting a cover letter for a PT job and I’ve never struggled so much to get to the minimum required 500 words before. Writing cover letters are a job in themselves

@LillyLAllen And then we do the mad rush just before deadline, working all day, no breaks and late into the nights.

@AlicePotter I can relate! I've been reading up on ADHD and I think that could be why or partly why for me 😅

I’m fully aware I have a tonne of work to do and such tight deadlines. But I just doom scroll forever. Why am@I like this?! 😩

@savannarawson And I rented out the local church hall. It’s where she went to nursery too, so we were very familiar with the space.

Highly recommend doing a crafts based kids party. We had 6 tables each with a different craft on. Faces making, beading, painting wooden decorations, geli bath, play dough and duplo on the floor. Kids dove in to whatever they wanted to do with their grown ups. It was fantastic!

@savannarawson Yes, organised by myself and my mainly my sis-in-law.l for my eldest. She turned 5 and had wanted a big party for ages, so i obliged. All the parents loved it. Clean up was long though 😂

I’ve picked up another cough after a week of suspected laryngitis and I honestly think I’ve had a cough on and off since July.
