@robin_w_f If this is your agenda all summer, I feel we may cross paths. #stagemumlife

@teenytinylisa Someone please count the salad plates.

@angielucas I wonder what it has done to photos from albums 40 odd years ago. I had a few old magnetic albums and they are inconsistent. 🤣 the worst were the ones with clear tape that went brittle over the years. But I don’t think I have any that used rubber cement!

[Shimelle Laine @glittershim]

@angielucas I have used it on costuming for something that would melt with hot glue but was too thick to stitch through. I feel this is quite niche! But oddly it came in a tube like toothpaste not the pot with the little brush!

@LexiCrowley I was a drama student so basically I would cover any version I could find to watch but that was the timing and reason for its popularity, yes.

My apologies to every teacher who ended up reading any of the essays I posted because my guestbook was mostly kids saying thanks. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[Shimelle Laine @glittershim]

@LexiCrowley It is gone gone and that is fine. 🤣 I had a Romeo and Juliet fan site on geocities back in the day and it was ridiculous but the traffic was kinda bonkers, and it got me a very strange uni job working in media for someone who only dates very young women. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@withjuliekirk @catherinetinker Here for it in every way.

@LexiCrowley I used to watch my stats to see which way round people clicked the arrows in the ring.

@zplikesmovies And does it mean the storytellers who are ready with the boundary pushing ideas are there, screaming into a void, or have they already left to tell those stories elsewhere? Like go on and give us a signal, whichever it may be.

@moniza_hossain When my son was preschool age, I actively sought out picture books with a range of names (as well as backgrounds, family make up, etc) for the characters. Please don’t let anyone talk you out of your choice. Would buy!

@courtneyellis Is there a danger zone category for those of us who secretly use the seasonal scents year round? Vanilla Bean Noel >>>>> Warm Vanilla Sugar, 365 days a year.

[Shimelle Laine @glittershim]

@robin_w_f Brilliant news! Well done.

[Shimelle Laine @glittershim]

@ADanielleLife I am exactly that old and I am wearing cartoons on my jumper today. 😉

@BlumAgainCurios @ActuallyAviva My kid can play this on the piano so my work is done.

[Shimelle Laine @glittershim]

@Michaelichael He grew up where I live now and that tracks.

@katbrown Yay!!! A close family member 😆 is in the show so I’ve now seen it 8 times with no regrets. I love the idea of the palladium being anyone’s very first panto experience. Expectations set for a local hall production next year.

@katbrown Teach how credit cards and mortgages and student loans actually work. I discussed this with a y11 tutor group once and they were shocked. All I could say was no one mentioned it to me and I spent my 20s in a mess for it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Balavage Laos, but I am terrible at answering this question because also Iceland, Japan, and New Zealand. 🤣

@Wonder_Bookshop @yevrahjalocin 8yo and I both love this list. He adds the Sideways Stories from Wayside School books (Louis Sachar) for the pure hilarity of them. He loves them in between the other books, and there is a silly kind of peril but spoilers: the kids triumph always!

[Shimelle Laine @glittershim]

@BlumAgainCurios SMIDGE. oooh you’re good. (This is not new info but I can still say it.)
