I love writing on my Alphasmart, I really do. But the 7 years it takes for it to upload documents to my Mac is….

@stephenRB4 Ooft. Sounds like someone’s been a grade A muppet. As others have said, padding your CV regardless of the industry always comes back to bite you eventually!

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

@O_Dickerson3 Yup! I’ve been known to leave notes to myself along the lines of ‘sort this, and your life, out’

Someone in the UK thought it would be a good idea to name the app that you do maternity appointments on Badger Net 🦡 🤦🏻‍♀️ I bet there isn’t a midwife in the country that doesn’t secretly call it Vadger Net

@pstyrell Sounds like an excellent day to me!

If you don’t mind a bit of swearing and want a giggle, may I suggest this video I made about fucking weird children’s books? Kids books are WEIRD!

Allow me to join in with the other Brits complaining about the heat. *ahem* we aren’t built for this, please make it stop. Everything is claggy and folks are out here looking like drum stick lollies.

As privatisation talks continue, Channel 4 confirms format for tonight’s leadership debate:

You know those BuzzFeed lists of parents talking about the weirdest things their kids have tantrums over? Well I’m living in one.

So far my favourite was the absolute meltdown over me saying ‘no Freyja, we don’t wear shoes in the bath’

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

@AnthonyLaFauci Also ours kept thinking I was saying ‘Swedish time’ instead of sleepy time for the baby’s white noise so hubby programmed it to play the Muppets Swedish chef popcorn song…

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

@AnthonyLaFauci We programmed ours to control various household gadgets but gave everything weird names. The robohoover is called Kim Woodburn to you shout ‘Alexa, tell Kim Woodburn to clean the house’

@lhallwriter It gets washed when it goes in for a service by the poor technicians who take pity on me 🤣

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

This tweet is mostly prompted by my fire alarm battery dying the day after I packed all our batteries and me not having anyone to moan about that to in my immediate vicinity 🤡

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

Hello twitter. I’ve been off social and writing for a bit while battling an anxiety flare up and moving stress. But I feel ready to poke my head out into the world again. So… hi?

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

@dmtoft Twice the length from the middle to the end

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

Left the room for 30 seconds to simmer down after Freyja bit me. Was rewarded by her taking her nappy off, putting it on her head and pissing all over the floor. Being a mum is magical 🥰

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

@SteSierra Oh do tell him to do one. I have the full collection: baby, cats, anxiety disorder and an open scrivener document. He sounds like a right mood hoover.

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

Another week in paradise. Will I get any writing done this week? Who knows. While we wait to find out please enjoy this picture of me modelling the face masks my mother in law very kindly made for us (no shade, she did a great job I just have a weirdly tiny face)

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

I don’t normally celebrate Christmas but we are doing a bit with baby this year. Trotted out some decorations kindly donated by mother in law.

Ah, yes. The festive… merkin?

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

@O_Dickerson3 *glares at innocent strangers making perfectly reasonable amounts of noise as they walk past*

[Claire - FrugalWriter @FrugalWriter]

I spend a surprising amount of time sat in the car on my drive because madam has fallen asleep and I don’t want to wake her up. Bored now.
