Meanwhile, it’s my birthday today and I’m looking forward to a meal out with my DH this evening. It’s been tough coping with DD1’s meltdown during the break from college so we’re both in need of some time out.

Happy birthday Lizzie! I hope you have a lovely evening.

(Am also dealing with holiday meltdowns so I feel you - here it's the lack of structure that leads to difficulties. I try not to dread the summer months but its hard)

BREAKING: Parliamentary standards commissioner is now investigating Reform UK’s Deputy Leader Richard Tice (as well as its paused investigation into Nigel Farage).

Tice is being investigated for allegedly failing to declare a financial interest.

Somebody take pity on my asthma. It’s bad enough with the heat without laughing myself into another asthma attack.

Happy Birthday @LizzieW1969 and good luck to parent’s getting through the holidays.

Thank you so much. And yes, school holidays are challenging for a lot of parents.

Roll on September!

I’ll try and find it but as usual FB makes things disappear into the ether as soon as you click away from it!

Sorry I missed this earlier, thank you so much! And I know exactly what you mean about dreading the month of August.

I’m off out now. 🙂
