Back from leave to a handful of emails (mainly from PRs) using a hefty amount of abbreviation/urban dictionary slang. While it is sad 'festival szn' is over, how long have I been away? Please (plz?) tell me this isn't an actual thing?

While not normally keen to put pressure on the kids at school if - having both got to the spelling bee final for their age - no one comes back with the badger, I will be disappointed. https://t.co/ilVTJephBo

The wait isn’t over @Lionesses @Fanatics Ordered seconds after release, paid pricey postage, missed 9yo bday, chased today to be told you’re missing some letters of the alphabet and can’t finish her name on the back. Will I need to get out my sharpie or is someone onto this?

The wait is over. Our brand new @NikeFootball home and away kit is here! ✨ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Child #1 comes out of isolation today. Child #2 has just been put in. Not sure what sort of #FreedomDay everyone else is getting but it’s a riot here.

Child #1 on his last day of isolation today. 11 long difficult days. Presumably I can just whizz him through a quick lateral flow and head for the beach now...

Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak will not have to isolate, despite being pinged by Test and Trace after coming to contact with the Health Secretary who has tested positive for Covid-19. But should they be following the same rules as the rest of us? 🤔

After 6 days running the Covid/isolation/class bubble gauntlet never have I longed for a school email about an outbreak of nits or worms so much. In fact, at this stage, I’d even take Norovirus. #COVID19

It’s taken him until 6pm but #1 child has just asked if he can have a @PhilFoden haircut if England win tonight. Currently weighing up my preferred team for the win.

Medic on @BBCr4today says too many kids in A&E & parents are confused. Son needed seeing last week: pharmacy no help, GP 9 day wait, walk-in clinic shut since Covid and the number we were given cut us off at 9pm after 2+hrs on hold. Confusion is perhaps not why most are there.

Went shopping. Bought food. And more of it than appears to be available to kids most in need.

We went to Asda with £30 to show how much children could be getting #FreeSchoolMeals https://t.co/0QfkW8Rgp3 https://t.co/uIb4inVPeY

The trajectory of #Kent covid cases could be seen in #schoolclosures and graphs long before Christmas. Allowing journalists/ cameras to capture the reality of UK hospital wards should have surely happened weeks ago.

Parents told to send their kids to school today to sit with 30 others, who may now need to fall back on childcare bubbles/grandparents tomorrow must be fuming.

RT @susiemesure: Apologies to anyone bored by my incessant ranting about schools but I don’t understand how this hasn’t been THE issue for…

Just having a quick look at the kids’ home learning packs and reading books...has the 8yo been watching too much news? https://t.co/9SbaJWlKbo

With MrW working away for a week grand plans included eating dinner before 9 and binge watching the entire series of #NetflixCheer. 12 hours into said work trip child#2 brought home the sick bug. Obvs. https://t.co/MdOUKltg20

We like to think we’re a generous lot on the features desk. The same cannot be said for @rtuffinKM who is taking her food stash to an entirely new level now. #rebeccadoesntsharefood https://t.co/NYFCiKbj1T

Ben is my friend’s husband. They have 3 tiny children. Please share his photograph and this story. https://t.co/fYlfYFRUsJ
