@FollowTheCow wondering if there’s an update on your shows today given the weather warnings?

@DundeeTEPs @jemma_coysh @ScotEDU @SP_ECYP @EISUnion @AEPsychologists @Aspep1 @SDEP9 I remember reading the minutes of meetings where the reintroduction of the bursary was discussed: it was the £45k starting salary divided by 3. That salary has risen but the bursary has not.

@MikeRodgers74 @sainsburys I wondered how other shops were dealing with this. @AldiUK have given me conflicting information - but it looks like they want the packaging. Unfortunately, it’s got the rotten bird with it. And has been outside for days (double black bagged but still stinking). Poor store staff

@AldiUK wondering if there’s been an issue with your fresh turkeys this year. Just opened mine and it doesn’t feel or look right… worried it’s off😭😭

@JDHELPTEAM I emailed a couple of weeks ago about a return I made. I returned two pairs of sandals but was only refunded for one pair. I’ve not received a reply.

Wondering if there’s an issue with @DecathlonUK as I’ve tried contacting them via their WhatsApp (and the online contact form) about items missing from my order. Two blue ticks suggest my message has been read but zero reply. This is poor customer service.

@FionaE_TEP I wish she was in my class. She’d be doing AH and loving it,

The SQA has sent out an emergency update for the National 5 Music Technology exam taking place on Monday at 9am. I'm told this only went out this evening after schools had closed.

@MissCMurray06 @AlvaAcademy @Alva_BusEd Wow! You’re a legend.

@hannah_ellis89 Do you count Lego by the piece? Asking for a friend…
(Jokes - I’m cool with Lego, it the wee plastic figures that upset me)

When you get home at 5am from a long Friday night out and realise last night was Thursday, and it's time to get up for work....

@Miss_McF Wow! I didn’t know this was possible. I could probably benefit from this too…

In case there is a hint of bah-humbuggery around..

I’ve just heard my husband call Alexa “mum”, correct himself to “nunny” (what my first born called me) before finally getting to Alexa. I’m not sure how I feel about this…

@viola_jane I know. I had to withdraw as I couldn’t find full-time childcare locally, if I wanted to take up the place. It was just unlucky timing, for me.
