constantly impressed by my amazing capacity to find new ways to procrastinate. would have thought by my 40s I'd have done them all to death by now, but no, seems i'm always learning, always growing ✊

[Becky Howard @_beckyhoward]

@Son_Of_Ray Good in general, thanks. Attempting to write MA dissertation, hence new and unprecedented outbreaks of procrastination 😊

Almost 20 years ago, I threw together some interesting data my classes had collected about the word 'dude.' We're now interested in how it might have changed. Please help by taking the survey and forwarding to friends!

interviewing someone and having to ‘mmm’ and ‘uh-huh’ when they say ‘oh we HAD to move out of London FOR THE KIDS’ when you have three kids growing up very happily in bloody amazing London is one of the most frustrating narratives to have to engage in

No matter that I’ve typed it out approximately 538,445 times in my life, my first pass is always, ALWAYS, ‘langauge’

@AndreinaCordani A certain famous interior designer who was frosty as f*** anyway… I think you were sat nearby as I realised the disaster after doing the phoner!

Its 2023.William is on the throne. The funeral for Elizabeth went on so long Charles died before it ended. The queue to see his body was added to the one to see the queen and starts at Tebay services on the M6. Tmrw marks the 1st anniversary of the center parcs massacre.

This is really sad to hear. I have better memories of Grange Hill than my own schooldays. She was brilliant

[Grange Hill @hill_grange]

Some very sad news today. Gwyneth Powell who played Mrs Bridget McClusky has sadly passed away. Our thoughts are with her family at this time. RIP Gwyneth. Thank you for the memories xxxx

Bc of the age gap between my kids, this week marks my 36th term of waiting to collect a child from the infant playground.

2011 me: strolls merrily into school, searching for friends to chat & gossip with

2022 me: skulks in hiding under umbrella, praying no-one speaks to me

@Damian_Barr Oh no. I loved him. I used to sing Right Said Fred all the time as a kid 😞

[Becky Howard @_beckyhoward]

@MarianKeyes @sophiegrenham Omg me too. Natural introvert. Also most unsuited job option for me, ever: dog walker. But I know this is many people’s dream career
