Looking for something else I stumbled across the CDs that have survived declutters over the years. Something to be said about a CD booklet, maybe worth keeping more than the scratched discs

Incredible @sparksofficial show last night! But hearing Toughest Girl in Town caught me off guard, don’t think I’ve ever cried at a gig before. Billy’s version was the best ❤️ https://t.co/lpHje6tEF9

@eolasinntinn My examiners and supervisor asked me out for lunch straight after, was a bit awkward but think that’s common so best to factor in to your day!

@PaulJonMilne It reminded me of a horrifying live action version I saw as a kid…only for it to appear in the big montage! 😱

@coffeebucks The childminder would guilt-trip me to get me to pick up early, and only realised how much that was messing with my mind after we switched to nursery. No guilt at all now!

@rhiannonlucyc This was my experience, only thing that helped (a bit) was accepting my situation. Then everything changed almost overnight when she moved to a single bed at about 20 months

@aidanskinner Fun fact: since childhood Adam has been mentally unable to eat anything that’s in the shape of something else. So advent calendar chocolate is out!

[Gill Hatcher @GillComics]

It’s 7 December and I’ve just had to hide the advent calendar in the same place we store dangerous medicines that shouldn’t be within reach of small children

@AndyWPOliver Agree, Andy, and it’s part of the reason I just got tired of the whole scene in general. DIY isn’t valued like it used to be

[Gill Hatcher @GillComics]

@coffeebucks I feel similarly about the fancy food they offer at lunchtime. “I’m afraid she only ate half her lamb and chickpea ragu…” Great!

It’s my wee mum! ❤️ https://t.co/T1g5VlVovL

@eolasinntinn Not sure about inspire but definitely an antidote to imposter syndrome!

[Gill Hatcher @GillComics]

@rhiannonlucyc I also avoid all parenting books and sites yet somehow still felt incredibly guilty every time I used the baby swing for a 10 min break. Now it’s up the loft I regret not using it more!
