I was in a field with my kids, watching and taking photos of a huge lightning storm. The sky was glowing red, orange and yellow. Then a meteorite fell from the sky and landed right at my feet. I told my kids we'd have to wait for it to cool down before picking it up. Then I woke up.

My mum bought me dolls and tried to teach me what little girls were made for 🎎👰💒👶👶👶 … Meanwhile, I was far more interested in my brothers' Tonka trucks and quite happy getting stuck in with the boys 😏 Evidently, I've been a problem since birth 🙄

My BFF a few weeks ago: "What's going on with you? You've changed. You're different." At work last night, a colleague I haven't seen for a while: "You look different." Me: Why is everyone acting like there's something wrong with me? Pretty sure I haven't been assimilated or anything 😞 ...

Watching TV with my BFF and some coins went to auction… Me: Did I watch something with you about pennies being pressed? BFF: No, I told you I used a Penny Press Souvenir Machine - remember? I showed you them… Me: I get confused about if I saw something on TV, dreamed it, or it actually happened…

My daughter and me stumbled across this beauty while looking for wildlife documentaries… Never seen it before, but… CRIKEY! 🐊 What a gem 💎 Such an amazing guy ❤️ It left us both feeling a bit sad, though… Bless him – he was so wholesome …

My daughter is home for a couple of nights and comes bearing gifts… Matching fluffy creature keyrings 🖤🌈 Me: Why do I get the dark one and you get the pastel one? My daughter and my youngest, simultaneously: Because you're the emo. I have never felt so seen and so attacked at the same time 😐

"This is called the theory of narrative causality and it means that a story, once started, takes a shape. It picks up all the vibrations of all the other workings of that story that have ever been. This is why history keeps on repeating all the time." - Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

UPDATE 2: My oldest has just sent me an extremely moving message of support in this time of profound crisis. I have since found the spider next to my shoe. Now just need to formulate a tactical plan for the paper-cup thing …

F👀KING SPIDERS. The FOURTH one this week. I'm a strong, independent woman who don't need no man ... That is, until I want to have a shower and get greeted by this thing ... My second-born is working an 11-hour shift today, and my youngest is completely useless 😭 ...

If someone you know got their GCSE results today, check in and see how they’re doing. Results day can bring mixed emotions, and kindness and support can mean a lot - especially if things haven't gone as hoped. Find out more about supporting a child or young person: www.nhs.uk/mental-healt...

They're empowered. They have hundreds of creepy-ass men drooling over them. If, like me, you're not empowered, you just have to suffer the indignity of men treating you like a regular human being 🙄 ...

When my daughter was little and had night terrors: she'd cry: "I want my mummy" I'd say: "I'm here" only to be told: "No! I want my REAL mummy" God knows who she thought I was, but there was no consoling her. She just had to ride it out until she woke up properly or drifted back to sleep ...

Somewhere along the way, some men decided to sexualise nurses. Nurses, meanwhile, decided to sexualise adequate PPE and safe staffing.
