@JamesTCobbler I popped into a timpsons a week ago to change a watch battery. £24 was what I was quoted. Got it changed for £8 at the independent cobbler down the High St.

@SW_Help another day, yet another cancelled train...paying £20 to commute only to have to wait more than an hour and likely be crammed in like sardines. Your service is a disgrace and disincentivises any return to work efforts.

@Pukkaherbs what's happened to your 3 cinnamon tea? Can't buy it anywhere!!

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

@PregnantScrewed @hannahfearn But who are we voting for because who is actually putting forward realistic policy proposals that would get us out of this mess in a safe and beneficial way?

@Painshill The dates on this image are wrong - it says 21 Oct to 12 Oct, so you may wish to update.

@francescasteele Gousto have really nice kids and family recipes we eat a lot of at home

@vbrzezin @thetimes We have an ooni and love it! You need a temp gun tho to make sure it's hot enough. We buy sourdough pizza dough from our local deli. Mainly use in summer. Can't wait to get out soon!

Excellent campaign for @PregnantScrewed - simple but super effective!

[Saatchi & Saatchi @saatchiuk]

A cry for help. Making the cost of childcare as unignorable as the sound of a baby's cry. New and important work launching today with @PregnantScrewed to support new research into the childcare crisis.

@BBCMarkEaston Absolutely love this! What a fantastic initiative! I'm sure loads of people would sign up with underutilised garden space!

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

This. The Govts focus on writing letters rather than identifying ways to provide funding is just staggering! The costs are horrifying when you start looking into options.And we have twins...😳

[Sara (Thundercats) Benwell @sarabenwell]

Lots of people talking about cost of nursery fees. We’re grappling with this at the moment.

There’s one nearby that cost £71 for a HALF day. Full time £113.60.

That’s £1,420 for 4wks half days £2,272 for 4wks full time.

Approx £18,460 part time annually. Or £29,536 full time

@jellymalin Without a doubt the baby bjorn bouncer - worth every penny!! Also live to dream sleep bag and white noise machine!

A cracking explainer on the FTB market today compared to a decade ago...with a little input sharing our experience (or inexperience!) buying for the 1st time!

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

@melyork @property4media @thetimes What?! Amazing!! Hugest congrats!

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

@melyork @property4media We did Mel, not there now but let me know if I can help?

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

@emmamattress we can't get any response / clarity from you on our mattress delivery - purchased on 10/10. Needs to be delivered this Friday. Can you assist urgently pls?

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

@helenlcrane Also, think you get about 10% off any future work like fillings, invisalign etc which is useful.

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

@helenlcrane I've had denplan for a few years. It's handy as it forces me to go routinely BUT the premiums have soared exorbitantly since I started with it..I think in 5 years its nearly doubled per month. If you don't go you lose a lot of money too as you can't carry over visits etc.

[Kaylene Oliveira @KayleneWSmith]

@TaniaMcNally @hilarysblinds Funny, we had them out 2 months ago and were told 16wk lead time...it is very long!
