Head of public affairs. Arthur's mum. Labour busybody. Servant to cats. Silent coeliac. Teessider. This is Taylor Swift's world and I'm happy to be living in it.

In the early hours of the morning, @yewisloung.bsky.social and I welcomed our daughter Harriet into the world. Arthur burst into tears when he saw her. A good start...

Permanently disappointed because I keep seeing nice clothes on Facebook ads and I click them and actually it's just kid clothes and they don't make adult versions.

I am very heavily pregnant and I'm about to drive to Birmingham (from Middlesbrough) for a 2-day work trip. Baby is going to be a Brummie, isn't she.

went to the local retail park on Monday and a member of the park customer services team offered to carry my bags for me (being obviously very heavily pregnant) and so I emailed customer services today about the staff member and they've just called and told me they're giving him a gift card 🥰

excited to chair @basw-uk.bsky.social's launch of our 'Polarising Politics' guide today, designed to help social workers navigate challenging political environments in local authorities. Scenes from the last couple of days alone are terrifying, and it's clear this guide is just the start.

We have a little tupperware snack box for Arthur (mini cheddars, animal biscuits etc) and we let him pick out one from the box and he's recently worked out he can sneak his other hand in at the last moment and grab a second snack 🫠

If your GP Practice has explicitly asked you to call them, you shouldn't have to wait in a queue of 9 people. I'm special and unique, you wanted me to call you.

Anyway, I spent the morning in a Deep Sea Adventures sensory room for under 7s and I think we all need a Deep Sea Adventures sensory room available to us.

"Labour members will be fuming" Why should we be fuming? 'Backbench MP doesn't want to be an MP anymore' is hardly rage-inducing. Better than bitching from the sidelines.

Residents of Holborn and St Pancras deserve an MP who is enthusiastic and committed to representing them. If Keir doesn't think that's him anymore, then it's right he goes.

This is the story behind Dolly Parton's hit song "9 to 5". In the 1970s women in office jobs faced discrimination. They were paid less, passed over for promotions and experienced sexual harassment. The 9 to 5 movement was established to fight for better treatment of working women.

The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

RIP Dolly Parton.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

I rarely make comment about celebrities or people I don't know personally dying, but Dolly Parton passing away has genuinely upset me. A superstar, a voice of reason, and one of the kindest hearts to have ever been in the spotlight ♥️

1. How can an iron be a landlord? 2. At times like this, I guess all you can do is laugh. 3. I'm just a big toasty cinnamon bun. 4. You don't win friends with salad. 5. Yes, I'm going to marry a carrot.

The British Association of Social Workers discourages its members from working for the National Age Assessment Board because of concerns around impartiality, yet the Home Office consistently tries to argue that NAAB assessments should be given special weight. Glad to see this shot down by the UT.

I would quite like to hear from pubs that are thriving, and what they attribute to their success, rather than the default of "taxes and employment costs" as a reason why pubs are closing. I suspect good food and kids spaces are up there in the list of reasons.

I worked Uni clearing hotlines 13 years ago (my favourite casual job) and being shocked at how many parents called up for their kids. "Sorry, we need to talk to the applicant" "But he's upset" "We need to talk to the applicant" "We'll call you back" 2 hours later "Sorry, the course is full now."

I have a similar view about chip portion sizes. You go to several different restaurants or takeaways or cafes, and there's no uniformity of what 'a portion of chips' is. Is it a tiny ramekin? is it however many can fit on a spatula? Are there enough chips to fill me up for the rest of the day?

The mystery of the pull-along train. Yesterday, Arthur's pull-along train ended up on the landing. It wasn't Arthur. I knew it wasn't me. Lewis said it wasn't him. Betty was at the scene of the crime. But was it her? @yewisloung.bsky.social
