@PlaymobilUK we bought a set with a leaf blower (71434) which my son loves. However the first set we bought was missing the hose for the leaf blower. Just got the replacement and the hose is damaged and it’s missing a twig! 😭 please can you help? 🙏

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@playmobil we’ve got a part missing from our new set for the leaf blower! Please can you help?

@WeAreOpenreach an open reach engineer managed to disconnect our internet on Tuesday. No appointments until next Tuesday! I work from home, please help!

@OrchardToys loving our Christmas Eve box but missing a puzzle piece 😞 can you help please? 😬

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@PolarGlobal I’ve been waiting for a reply from support for over a month now. Can’t use my HR strap currently, not impressed!

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@weather_bee Oh no!! Hope she’s ok xx

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@BristolAirport Ah right, the car park attendant simply told us there was no bus!

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@BristolAirport just arrived at the long stay parking to find we have to walk to the terminal with all our luggage and small son! What happened to the promised bus?!

Strongest #winds associated with #StormAntoni are gradually working in from the west now - recent 55mph at #Cardinham for example.

Plotted are strongest #gusts today from official sites, >=40mph.

@DavidLloydUK hoping you can help, I applied for the Mail 3 month membership 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything yet…was meant to be contacted within 7 days? Thanks!

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@OfficialMauiJim it seems your cases are quite tasty…my fave glasses are now without protection! 😨

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@FollowMeTandem Thank you for your very quick response! Much appreciated.

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@FollowMeTandem just received our followmetandem and trying to fit it. We can’t get the telescopic arm into the clamp though, it just doesn’t fit! Any ideas please?

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

@CauldronFoods very disappointed in the change in your Lincolnshire sausages. We had some last night and thought they were off as they’d split and leaked everywhere. Weird texture and nowhere near as nice. Shan’t be buying again unfortunately, these were one of our staples!

[Ele Hands @hunt_ele]

Fingers crossed for some snowmen!

[Met Office @metoffice]

There is still some uncertainty, but there is a risk of #snow across southwest England on Tuesday night 🌨️

Here are the current possibilities...👇

[Summer Born Campaign @sb_campaign]

Whilst David Laws was Schools Minister, he did something unprecedented. He enabled an interface between parents of #summerborn and DfE civil servants so that the DfE be made aware of all the problems in the system and also best practice.

Now, no one at the DfE is listening.

[Pauline McDonagh Hull @PMcDonaghHull]

In education legislation a "deferral" is not the same thing as a "compulsory school age start".

And the @educationgovuk's #summerborn U-turn doesn't stop what's happening; it just maintains a lottery of luck (or privilege) for those where the "system is now working well."
