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 😅

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.

I know modern racism is a loaded topic. I'm gunna mute this thread now, but lemme say this:
I am personally trying my best, every day, to listen to POC and then do better.
Sometimes I suck and sometimes I succeed.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US has been raised in a racist society.
@justhypeuk Hi, I ordered a pair of blue joggers and you've sent me a pink and black hoody - your returns portal says it will cost me £2.99 to send back. Please can you advise how I can return with no fee, considering you didn't send me the item I ordered

It's a bit late for this year, but next spring, if anyone is wondering if it's worth spending £5 on 5 cucumber seeds (esp if you have a greenhouse) we're currently at 91 cucumbers 🤯

When I became a mum, I hoped my child would love books and stories just because sharing stories feels so precious. I'd completely underestimated how much joy I'd find in so many of the illustrations 📚🧡
