Working in charity comms. Used to be Sweet. But probably tweeting about food, parenting and things that wind me up. Views are my own.

@Tesco OK thanks

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

@Tesco I have a delivery due between 6-7 and the app hasn't updated to say if it's on its way or what time to expect it? Is there an issue with the app?

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

@Tesco Unfortunately I can't access my DMs atm

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

@Tesco Hi, I declined a substitution in our delivery yesterday but the amount wasn't taken off the total when it came off our card. I'll also mention the driver was half an hour and we watched him drive past our road twice on the map and have no idea why

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

@Se_Railway I've tried twice to order my ticket on the app, the Google payment has gone through both times but the app has frozen, no ticket email, nothing in my account history. Almost £90 out of pocket, not seen a conductor to ask and ticket office at LB shut today. Help!

@TicketmasterUK @timminchin Can't get tickets for London - coming up with error code U009 😥

@AdamShawBiz Thanks for the mention of @Caf on Jane Garvey's show yesterday. Great to hear you discussing Gift Aid and payroll giving in particular!

@newlook Just wanted to say Darren on the online chat was a super star!

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

Returned faulty trousers to @newlook store, which I bought online in 25% off sale. Want to order a replacement but the sale ended so they'll cost £6 more, plus £3.99 delivery. I bought them with a gift card, which could 15 days to refund. Why doesn't anyone do exchanges anymore??

I’m looking for a young person - 15 or under - to come on my Money Box radio show live and chat about their attitudes to money, the pocket money they receive and what they do with it. Need parental permission and - ideally but I won’t insist - parent participation as well.

Such a fascinating and important @therestismoney two parter on children's homes relating to this. Something I knew nothing about and more people need to

[PBE @ProBonoEcon]

Our latest research on local authority children’s services spending for @barnardos @NSPCC @childrensociety @ncbtweets @actnforchildren found £1 in every £5 (19%) is now spent on residential care placements.

I genuinely could not care less who went to the Taylor Swift concert, who got freebies and whether she got a police escort. Can the media please move on? Does anyone else actually care?

[Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) @Caf]

Gift Aid is a valuable incentive, but is still underused by donors who pay income tax, meaning British charities collectively miss out on £560 million a year!
Thank you to @MartinSLewis for this brilliant explainer.

[Martin Kimber @MrMKimber]

After all the talk of money and influence in UK politics lately, the fact this is legal in America blows my tiny mind

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

@MrMKimber That's crazy! Had no idea!

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

@Se_Railway Thank you. Unfortunately I didn't have time to get one from the machine and the ticket office was closed so assumed I'd be OK to buy online! Will hope there is a train manager on board to sell me a ticket!

[Genevieve Williams @GenSweet]

Not only is the signal and WiFi useless on @Se_Railway trains, seemingly even when you do have signal the website is too useless to even buy a ticket 🙄

[Third Sector @ThirdSector]

The Charities Aid Foundation is calling for the government to automate the Gift Aid system to reduce the estimated £560m a year that goes unclaimed
