@LisaForteUK I honestly don't understand why parents let kids on social media. My almost 13 year old isnt allowed on any form of social media and only has a phone for walking to school/emergency purposes.

Just shrank some crisp packets in the microwave with the kids (for sciencey fun). My eldest was absolutely shell shocked that I 'almost caused a fire'. The youngest jumping around in pure delight 😅
