@TravellingTom @easyJet I can laugh at this now we’re home safely but it really wasn’t funny with two tired small children in tow on Monday!

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@garysmi @GrabYourSpoon @LivEchonews @easyJet Oh yes! I recognise you! I’d also be interested to hear more.
We were not offered any food or drinks, & our suitcase has gone missing somewhere along the way.
Raised a lost baggage request & hoping to muster the energy to complete the compensation form after work this eve 😩

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@AsdaServiceTeam a 1kg chicken isn’t going to feed 7 people, is it? Couldn’t you have at least sent two?
And as for the cauliflower cheese or carrot & swede mash… why mashed potato and more mashed potato? Really disappointed with these poor subs!

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

7 missing items and 6 substitutions is really poor. I’ll do my Christmas shopping elsewhere next year.

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@monzo Being able to set up a recurring payment from my individual account into my joint account?! 😍❄️🎄

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@AsdaServiceTeam So why have I been charged full price for the cans of coke I chose to keep, having sent back the vanilla flavoured substitutes I didn’t want?

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@AsdaServiceTeam I’ve ordered cases of coke on the 3 for £24 deal. Just got the email and 2 of those cases will be what I ordered, the other substituted for something I don’t like. If I keep two cases does the offer price still stand? I.e 2 cases for £16?

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@AngieBeatDown Genius. Will make you feel better about those ‘5 second rule’ dummy drops or turning a blind eye to eating food off the floor when you get to that stage too 😂

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@Gillykins58 @VeryBadLlama Solidarity with you both here

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@MORETHAN can you explain why I’ve had to pay an admin fee to change my address over the phone, when your broken online webform kept booting me out, please?

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@TheJackForge The figure in that image seems pretty low. Base salary here in Manchester can be anywhere from about £45-80k for a mid-level dev, depending on industry.
I don’t know any devs making six figures.

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@AngieBeatDown Oh! Also don’t fall into the trap of thinking the ‘+’ sizes are bigger… they are (marginally) but the whole premise of them is that they are more absorbent. My first kiddo was over 1yr before I realised. Size 5 daytime and 5+ for bed did help.

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@AngieBeatDown If you open a pack and don’t get on with them, or find you buy too many of a certain size and don’t use them all before they are outgrown, I can guarantee there will be a parent on one of your local Facebook groups who would be so grateful. We ended giving loads away!

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

My MacBook screen broke this week and trying to work was a hideous experience.
New one arrived and is a 2023 M2 pro, so I guess I can’t complain too much 😅

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@HannahAlOthman Court proceedings have just begun after being unable to find a suitable home within our 8 weeks notice.
We’re having to move out of area and uproot our 2 and 3 year olds from their nursery.
This is our 3rd section 21 since Dec 2020.
0/10. Would not recommend.

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

I’ve been quiet on all platforms recently, a section 21 eviction notice and nowhere to go will do that to you though, I suppose.
Good vibes for the houses we see tomorrow please? Would mean moving out of area but will just be grateful for a roof over our heads.

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@PhDMumLife @Momademia They are 2 and 3, and this special behaviour is reserved only for me, it happens whether other adults are around or not.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re not awful children, but the not listening and fighting between themselves is exhausting.

[ThatTechMum @thattechmum]

@PhDMumLife @Momademia I have (only half-jokingly) threatened to leave many a time because my partner has a better handle on their behaviour. He gets up with them in the mornings and they are fine, play nicely, eat their breakfast and as soon as I walk into the room they change completely!
