I can't remember the last time I even thought about writing on my blog so... it's time for it to go. I'll remain on twitter but you know... not gonna bother talking about 💰💰💰 like I used to way back when. Eco stuff, parenting, books, general rants? Yep, I'm your person 😅

@nectar is the app down? I've trying the classic 'switch it off and on again' and uninstalled and reinstalled. The 'register' button works and the link to T&Cs but login does nothing

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@Ocado Morning Natalia, I am the account holder. Are there some details you need from me via dm?

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@Ocado it says best before 2nd May but my milk is sour 😕 can you arrange a refund please? I've only had 1 cup of tea and bowl of cereal out of it

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@BootsUK Can you help? I ordered a Tommy tippee sippy cup, but the order contained only the lid and not the cup part 🤦‍♀️

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@JackiePenny @sainsburys Has your payment been taken? Usually the payment is taken on the day and payments are down (our store said no contactless payments can be taken)

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@nextofficial My order was due to be delivered Monday but still isn't with the courier. Can someone check what's going on?

Locked my account now 🤦‍♀️

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@nectar I'm trying to log in to my account which I haven't used for ages. I've been able to reset the password but whenever I login, keep getting this message. Can you help?

The stories I've heard from family court cases have been awful, but none have even touched these: https://t.co/N2LcpHNI7v Immediate change is needed

@RevAGSL I've gotten away with it for so long but I've fallen behind and just can't seem to catch up

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

It's not often that I consider purchasing a tumble dryer in August but getting washing dry is a nightmare when it rains everyday

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@MichaelRosenYes @BooksTales I think it's good for displays to change, including displays like this. I used to love exercise books, and this is what some children will genuinely love. Next month, hopefully it will be something different and capture the attention of a different set of children ☺️

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@JaxsBeachLife Do you lose much time to scrolling on tik tok or twitter? That's my big weakness

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@RevAGSL Future you is going to be so grateful 🤗

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

@djwindle @lindseyswansong If you're not thinking about it, it's really easy for every (or most) book you naturally pick up to be by a man. Even as a woman, there was a year when I realised about 90% of the books I'd read were by men, I guess predominantly because of marketing.

[Krishnan Guru-Murthy @krishgm]

Everything about the Letby case is profoundly shocking - the murders themselves and the horrific impact on so many people, but also the institutional reaction of NHS managers when doctors raised the alarm and wanted to call the police. Big questions to discuss. This kind of news sometimes makes people want to look away, but there is much to look at here, to try to understand.

We have definitely borrowed more from the library this year in light of absolutely everything costing a fortune

[Sarah @tortoise_happy]

Just reading @Literacy_Trust's report report on 5 to 8 year old's reading that was published last year because it always perplexes me that almost 1 in 5 kids don't have a book of their own (link if you're interested https://t.co/N9w3mv8MRW)

More ramblings from me: it's nice to see how valuable families are finding public and school libraries https://t.co/ARLHcaToEM
