Ali: Beth can I talk to you for a sec
Me: yeah what’s up
Ali: I really like the name [x] and I think if we didn’t call him [x] I would feel really sad, sort of like if I want McDonalds chips on the way home and I don’t get them and then I’m not satisfied. So can we call him [x]?

@HopeWhitmore my wee man picked up everything when he started nursery at 12 months old. it’s been a lot better now he’s 24 months. they’re going to have to build their immune system somehow, and i think it’s better to do it when they’re younger when they are more resilient. speedy recovery! x

@scottaawilson clueless, how to lose a guy in 10 days, stuck in love, love rosie, angus thongs and perfect snogging, big sick, crazy stupid love. pleeeeease post your thoughts on these!!

@KendallRaeOnYT My wee one gets chest infections (this included) often. I’m always terrified he’ll have to go in for oxygen. It’s scary being a parent!

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

@HopeWhitmore As soon as our son could roll he only slept on his front. It’s been 12+ months now & he’s always been fine. Your wee boy will be too 🥰

@sophcampbellll i can't remember what i did but i remember thinking at the end that it was way too complicated for how simple it actually was. i'm sure if you can't figure it out, you could maybe phone them and they could talk you through it? 🥺

@sophcampbellll This stressed me out so much after I got married that I wanted to cry

@Emelette13 It’s SO ridiculous!! The US is the worst for postpartum & childcare

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

Nursery fees have just shot up another £5 a day (second increase in the last 12 months) For 2 days that my son is in a week, that’s around £600 a year, totalling well over £5.5k

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

NEW 🚨 | The UK has dropped 5 places in the international league table for women in work.

Our childcare costs are amongst the highest in the OECD:

🇬🇧 33% of income
🇩🇪 1% of income

Women in the UK are being priced out of work due to the lack of affordable childcare.

@HopeWhitmore totally safe, lovely. our little guy started doing 9 hour stretches around 10 weeks old. we had an owlet monitor on his foot which was the only way we got any sleep. it tracked breathing & heart rate for us. i know not every parent likes them, but it helped us massively <3

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

@Emelette13 Oh sorry LOL

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

@elswraith Except for tomorrow night 😩

@HMRCcustomers is it worth calling the number on this page if we can't figure out where we sent the money? https://t.co/BxLKFPt4yK

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

@HMRCcustomers Hello. I accidently sent money to the wrong HMRC account when trying to pay into my son's tax-free childcare account. How do I contact HMRC to get that back, because I can't get through on the phone? It's a lot of money

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

@HMRCcustomers Now that we think about it, we aren't sure it was sent to self assessment. The only thing we can see from our end is the ref number and that it has "mandate 98" on the reference. We can't see the sort code & acc number

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

@HMRCcustomers 0300 200 3310. is there a better number?

[Beth M 🌼 @bethsbookshelf_]

@HMRCcustomers Bank transferred from my Santander acc into the HMRC acc.
