@DeputyGrocott Oh no! My least favourite! Fortunately, I had a colleague who loved all the ones I hated so when term started he’d get a little baggie of them!
@LifeAfloat I remember this type of bauble - was considered “posh” on our tree as children but we had a few. Always wanted to poke my finger in the indentation! Merry Christmas to you!
@RE_McGEE My grandsons who are 7&5 already know so much more about world religions/celebrations than I did as a young adult. Great job RE influencers!
I am lucky to be a generally healthy person, but I needed to see a doctor. I called in the afternoon thinking it might be quieter - 8th in the queue and it took 30 mins. Took just minutes and the receptionist was pleasant and helpful. How do people who are not retired do this?
@suemidd58863059 @LeeBraganza Wow, what an understanding mother-in-law you must be! Actually you have no idea how hard teachers work unless you’ve been one and the length of holidays is for the students, not the teachers.
@DeputyGrocott I once had to buy my son new school shoes for “prize day” at the end of the summer term as he old ones had literally fallen apart. Crazy waste of money
@MrBoothY6@DeputyGrocott A long time ago when I worked in a deprived area we let the children wear trainers because “cheap” trainers are better for their feet than “cheap” shoes. Comfort and activity are more important.
@LeeBraganza I used to watch Gilmore Girls with my then teenager and it was jot only great entertainment but brought up quite a few good talking points.
