Daughter1 had a tough day today. She said “I’d still rather be a nice person who keeps getting hurt, than a horrible person who keeps hurting others.” Think I’ve done an ok job.

Still blows my mind that the guy on the left gets more hate than the guy on the right.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with Lucy, from The Canny Goose, in St Austell, to make a unique ring incorporating my Dad’s ashes.
Such a very special experience.
My 15 year old nephew living the dream as Willy Wonka (I may have cried with Auntie pride when in the audience).
My little brother showing that even when you work in education, you can still prioritise other things. (Sister pride too, but not enough to cry 😂)
I bought a brand new @Citroen and in many ways I love it.
Unfortunately, it’s turned out to be what my Dad would have called a “Friday afternoon car” and there are a few things wrong with it.
Two months ago, I requested to return it and I know there’s a process to follow, but..
Over those 2 months I have called @Citroen for an update on my case 5 times and not once have I been able to speak to anybody and not once has the case holder called me back.
I didn’t call in the first month as I was letting them do their job…seems like they weren’t!
Had a day of training away from school today and we spotted @MrPeterAndre
Second time we met as he performed at my first school when I was newly qualified.
I was definitely more excited about it this time around!
Thank you for being so lovely and taking time out of your day.
Anyone is allowed an opinion, but be clear it is opinion.
You state as fact that children who do not need it are being referred for SEND support.
This requires more evidence than “I’ve seen it at my kids’ nursery”
Went to @SandyParkExeter to watch @ExeChiefsWomen v @TigersWomens
Thank you to those who allowed us to sit in a separate stand from the main crowd to facilitate my ex being able to attend whilst having chemo.
Daughters appreciate us still being able to enjoy rugby together

We are an independent specialist SEMH setting 6-19. Our Maths Lead is secondary trained but is keen to do some Early Years training to better understand processes and methodology that will support the needs of our younger learners. Recommendations please
#EarlyYears #Maths #CPD
Always a proud Mum, but today was a highlight as the eldest graduated from University of Exeter with her MA in Media and Communications
This afternoon, my eldest daughter got to do the live commentary for @ExeChiefsWomen V @BristolBearsW on @bbcdevonsport
Her co-commentator was none other than World Cup winner Claudia Moloney-Macdonald.
I’m so pleased for her and so very proud.
