@My_Metro what time is the next metro at heworth platform 2?

[Bradley Dardis 🤖 @BradleyDardis]

🐹A Thread🐹 5:15 Woke up to the most awful sound a parent could hear, my son screaming “it’s dead it’s killed him!” son runs into our room to tell us that an animal has killed his hamster!

Told my son to go back to bed as assumed he was having a nightmare,until I go to his room

How long is the next metro @My_Metro on Jarrow platform 2?

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

I’m on twitter less now, especially edu twitter and my goodness, what a change?! Some awful, argumentative and pointless replies to the simplest of tweets sharing an idea or something someone has done. When did it become sooooo toxic!?

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

I left teaching two years ago… so much has happened in that time and honestly, I don’t miss it. I miss the children but not the planning, scrutinies, fatigue, pressure or endless to do list.

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

The board has changed to 8, seems a bit more sensible.

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

Just wanted to check @My_Metro what time the next train at Brockley Whins platform one? Says 23 minutes but that seems ridiculous

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

Really @O2…. And counting. And for a problem which is your fault 😶🙃 furious is possibly the mildest word right now.

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

@My_Metro I know the theatre riyal does… but do tickets for the Tyne theatre and opera house mean free travel too? ☺️

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

@My_Metro Can I pay by card on the bus? ☺️

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

@My_Metro Can I buy a ticket on the bus replacement today or do I need to go get a metro ticket?

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

@victoria_trixie I left teaching and honestly I’ve never been happier. Absolutely love my job.

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

Always makes me laugh when captions don’t quite get accents… 😂😂😂🗑 #bin @4pmWineTimeBaby @IAmChrisRamsey

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

@My_Metro do I need to buy a metro ticket or can I get a ticket on the bus replacement?

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

It’s amazing what a different job can do for your mental health. I’ve absolutely never felt happier or healthier.

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

Seeing a lot of ‘is there life after teaching’/‘what can I even do’?

Funnily enough reading these on my way to work, very much living life after teaching.

There are SO many things we can do, please reach out if you’re struggling.

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

Reading through my Twitter, highs and lows of teaching. I miss so much of the job and don’t miss so much of the job 🤣

[Laura 🦕 @laurajaye_g]

@MissKingTeach Always yes to cats
