@HarleyShah Not even just childcare cost, the pure financial strain of maternity pay wipes any savings you may have done in preparation for raising a child

@theashleyray I had this at my job when I first started, they made it out like b/c I was young I didn’t have the same work ethic. I politely told them they needed to up my salary to allow for an occasional late night or allow me to only work my contracted hours. Got a payrise & don’t work late

These bank holiday Monday’s are making me wish a 3 day weekend and a 4 day working week was the norm 💆🏼‍♀️

Why is individual action* on climate change and the destruction of nature so powerful and important?

Well, imagine yourself at a concert or party where you've had a couple of drinks, the music's getting good... but nobody's dancing

“Remember that you are replaceable in your job. You are not replaceable as a wife, husband, father, mother, daughter, son, or friend. Put on your own oxygen mask first and give yourself and your colleagues permission to take the time you deserve to recover.” From article in BMJ

@David__Osland Even without the childcare, it’s tough. Consider cost of commute, food shop, insurance, wifi, and any pets, plus paying for any repairs that need doing.

@AllAboutCyc1ing @David__Osland Depends on the area. I live in Devon and the average 2 bed is £1200+ per month, and everyone should be able to afford to live in the place they were brought up in. Yes I could move to Newcastle and rent somewhere cheaper but there’s jobs down here that need filling and it’s home

@ChristineWalkd Not a breed but I have a Labrador X Springer Spaniel who is great, loves cuddles and the car, and has smooth fur, never barks (does dig but only at the beach). Mine’s about 21kg

UK is fine atm as long as you don’t get sick, have an accident, need to get on a train, need heating or affordable food

my parents at 30: whew, we weren't expecting to have a third kid and a new car this year, but I think we can swing it

me at 30: I was not expecting to have to replace an extra lightbulb in my home this year and now financial ruin is upon me

The temptation to sack it all in and move abroad gets stronger every day

[Amelia @amelia_tb98]

Such a good idea, I hope it continues and that more countries adopt a similar scheme. Reduces congestion on roads so emergency vehicles can get through quicker, less emissions making it better for the climate, better for people’s pockets, and triggers improvements in the network.

An ‘energy price cap’ that doesn’t cap energy prices, a pensions ‘triple lock’ that doesn’t lock pensions, ‘affordable housing’ that few can afford, and a ‘national living wage’ that’s not enough to live on. Orwell would have approved.

My wife just said "if you hate everyone, you should eat something, and if you think everyone hates you, you should go to sleep" and I don't think I've heard a better life hack
