@HPicked_hotels We wish to say thank you to @GrantleyHall_ for refusing our custom, and to Wood Hall Hotel Wetherby for giving us a warm welcome. We enjoyed a very special wedding celebration, with attentive friendly service and the most delicious food. Five stars to Wood Hall!

@OED Wasn't I "shrill" enough to get an answer! #Feminism

[CrochetQueen @crochetexpert]

"Shrill" is a sexist slur used against women. Why is it not listed as derogatory in your online dictionary @OED?

[CrochetQueen @crochetexpert]

@CBFdn @ucl @TaviAndPort This is very exciting, and along the lines of the focus of my MAEd studies. I would love to get involved ☺️

@Ander59245773 @MrMcEnaney my daughter got a detention over shoes, she hadn't told me her shoes were broken, she walked to school in shoes with holes in because she didn't want to put more pressure on us with looking after her two disabled siblings. She's just finishing her MA at a Russell Group Uni BTW

[CrochetQueen @crochetexpert]

@SEND_Action Yep. Yet, still have to find the energy, the injustice in the system *sigh*

@RealJamieKay I have no problem with all gender facilities. I have a problem with understanding the logic of people that do though!

[CrochetQueen @crochetexpert]

Remember it well.... and still do a LOT, unpaid, now they have grown up and moved into care.

@sbaroncohen I really needed this today. Tomorrow I fight my nonspeaking daughter's corner re continuing education. It frustrates me beyond belief that she is deemed uninterested in education as she was 'challenging'; there is so much more to her than people assume!

@OU_WELS #Oufamily degree ceremony day!

[CrochetQueen @crochetexpert]

Just for curiosity - if you made mud pies as a child (UK) what did you call it? I grew up in the Surrey and called it 'making mud Pies' my partner (Yorkshire) calls it playing 'slap-dash'.

@jesswade My parents had to fight tooth and nail for me to take physics at school. Teacher didn't want me, reluctantly accepted onto CSE, ended up double entered with an O level pass. Have things not changed in the last 30 odd years?

[The Open University @OpenUniversity]

It's our birthday! 🥳

On this day in 1969, The Royal Charter's creation was approved by Her Majesty The Queen.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to the more than two million #OUFamily members who have studied with us in the past 53 years.

Now, where's that cake...

[CrochetQueen @crochetexpert]

@stickmancrips @autismage @RightfulLives As an NT who tries v hard to understand I think it's plain disrespectful to not listen to those with lived experience. Eye rolling is unprofessional and out of order.

[CrochetQueen @crochetexpert]

My son loves a half occasionally too. No need for any debate or judgement....

[Autism care and share @autcareandshare]

So I had some interesting comments after posting a photo of my 25 year old son with a half of beer, he's autistic and has learning disabilities, that doesn't mean he doesn't get to have a beer, that he doesn't get to experience life just like any other 25 year old.
