It doesn’t even have words!!
A ding ding ding a ring ding ding a ding ring ding a ring ding ding
As this is the second of my children to break an arm within two months I don’t want anything said that implies I was involved! (Both breaks at school, thankfully, so I am not on a list somewhere)
I sang it enthusiastically quite a bit 🤦♀️🐸
(Except when it was Marilyn Manson. But even then the tunes were great, it was the man who turned out to be crap)
About to drive my teen to the fracture clinic and he has created a play list that includes a computer game song called ‘God of Hyper Death’.
Look, I know my teenage music annoyed my parents but the crucial difference is that my teenage music was good.
Yes - and his face is literally next to it
Times front page with banner reading “Why men my age want wives to obey”
This headline is not actually telling the story of the article - which is the writer’s genuine concern at those new stats. But it was a headline that made my heart sink - it feels like any news coverage should be very clearly a condemnation of such backwards thinking
Got to redo this, didn’t do alt text
I don’t know what my editor is going to think about me launching my new plan for an Uncertainty Klaxon without running it past him 😂
Thanks for this morning, brilliant as always
No way! Congratulations! But I am also on on Monday so maybe two more.

Reads: Common slang for cash includes doughbucksmoolahbreadloot, and wonga. US-specific terms include greenbacks and smackers, while UK slang often uses quiddoshreadies, and wedge. Specific amounts are often referred to as a fiver (£5)tenner (£10)score (£20), or grand ($1,000/£1,000).
Here’s an AI thing. I was just googling ‘slang for cash’ for the above tweet and the ai google results offered this. How are you for quiddoshreadies?
It’s me on #wakeuptomoney tomo. It’s… been a week, so there’s lot to discuss. But we will also be chatting about cash. So tell me - are you still using it? Have you been in businesses that no longer accept it? Does it put you off or do you barely notice?
A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"

Pyjamas for #WorldBookDay. I’ve had to check at least 6 times that he realises he still has to wear pants.
Oh Pac-Man :(
A comic book box of a monkey holding a large pile of colourful balloons that have ‘buzz!’ printed next to them. The monkey is saying: “I’ve filled 30 balloons with angry bees! Wanna help me chuck them around?”
My son’s Bunny Vs Monkey book perfectly summing up my mood
Now for my last, soothing, bedtime check on The War so I can really lie awake and think about it
Don’t you do your photoshop on me, WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!
Me: I shall make beans on toast from scratch with vegetables chopped up in it. I shall serve it on artisan bread. My children will love it.
My children: What the HELL is this? This isn’t beans on toast! YOU’RE TRYING TO TRICK US. Oh my GOD this has got onions in
it, WTF is WRONG WITH YOU?!
Yikes
I think I have a duty now to stop him studying
A cracking example of Godwin’s Law. I told my teen that I studied for an hour every night after school so it was just possible that he could do so too.
He told me, very seriously: “Mum, the NAZIS were possible, it didn’t mean it was a good thing.”
That’s so kind of you Keith, thank you! X
Thanks Keith- I’m fine, I’m using up holiday before the end of the tax year! Hope you have a good week
A friend’s child is doing a March-long knitathon to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK, if anyone can afford to chuck a couple of quid her way x
That is beautiful!
