Mother of two, teacher, manic Disney/Billie/Taylor/TT fan, like the odd tipple, sunshine and laughter. Eternal optimist and all round good egg.

@annabellesami is a huge hit once again. My new Y5 class were devastated when Levi had to leave and we just reached City Farm in the book - they are elated! I adored stopping on a cliffhanger and hearing their gasps 🥰

Can @sainsburys chill out with the 'Back to School' ads on the radio? School hasn't even broken up for the summer yet! Sincerely, an exhausted teacher who doesn't yet need reminding about the new term 😴😭

The most utterly beautiful, romantic song in the history of the world @Elbow - never fails to move me.

@johnboyne My class will be over the moon to see this - thank you! They have enjoyed it SO much. You've made my (and their) day with this reply 😍 BTW - The Heart's Invisible Furies will always be *the* book. But they're a bit young for it just now. Dammit!

1 of 2: had to share @johnboyne with my 9-10 y.o. class, hence 'Noah Barleywater Runs Away'. NINETEEN chapters of tension built. They're on the edge of their seats. Predicting what will happen to Mum. I read aloud this jaw-dropping chapter end; they sit in silence. Then...

Finished reading 'The Jamie Drake Equation' to my Year 5 class today and it received a round of applause 😍. @edgechristopher they are now all arguing over the one copy of 'The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day' that we have in class!

I told my Y5 class it was time for today's instalment of #Llamaoutloud and a huge cheer erupted! I had to promise them that I would let their new favourite author @annabellesami know this 😁

.@kiwicom247 have stolen from us. Husband paid over 500 EUR for a flight, which they changed twice, charging him a further 400 approx.
THE FLIGHT DIDN'T EXIST.
Now only offering to reimburse the original ~500. This is theft.

@easyJet is a dedicated bag drop included if you buy upfront extra legroom seats?

@lastminute_com what time can I call your help/booking number please? Can't find hours on your website.

[Nik Devine @niknsteve]

@HMRCcustomers Follow up. The large amount my SA demanded I pay towards my Student Loan balance is STILL sitting in my HMRC account 2 months later, described as 'overpayment'. I expected this to be paid to SLC, who now can't give me a correct balance. Interest accruing daily.

PLEASE HELP.

[Nik Devine @niknsteve]

@HMRCcustomers Adil - what else can I do please?

[Nik Devine @niknsteve]

@HMRCcustomers I have tried repeatedly but the automated system keeps hanging up on me, hence trying to contact someone this way!

[Nik Devine @niknsteve]

@HMRCcustomers Hi Adil, it was late January, but Student Loans have confirmed today that they have not received the full payment yet; only a minimal amount on 24th March.
