Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Brilliant 🤩 I have a teen who refuses to engage with the idea of ‘clothes that fit and are warm’ He’s getting one of these for Christmas & I’m going to be his favourite parent. Massive win. 120
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 27/11/2024In balance to failing gcse history (I kept chatting to my friend about politics instead of learning any facts) I have an A in Roman Civilisation gcse. It was a fabulous class with an amazing teacher & I loved every minute of it- great teaching & stories = great outcomes in exams. 110
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 27/11/2024New book this week : Stuffed by Pen Vogler I love reading social history, facts & stories about our commonality via food or art or dance or clothes. One of my many failed exams is gcse history…because it was facts & wars & just didn’t speak to me. 110
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I’ve had a tricky week, growth & progress and fun alongside some struggles. This dance brings all the joy & dopamine- reminder that things do work out & most of us thrive, most of the time. Snow & wooly jumpers just add to the joy 130
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 20/11/2024This will be super helpful for anyone struggling with their health or wellbeing. 1st Aid for feelings is an incredibly practical guide to looking after yourself before you get to the door slamming, foot stomping meltdown stage. #SelfCare 041
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 20/11/2024These are some beauties I saved from landfill. They’re from Arthur Rank hospice shop and replace the antique Waterford glasses which have fallen, been knocked over or chipped since they came into my keeping. I insisted that my other half pretend to be Noel Coward while pouring bubbles. 130
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Interesting to find the charity sector on Bluesky. I work for a small charity (a brilliant one) & we have about 1k followers on X. Like lots of charities we’ve thought about moving. How active is the charity sector here & would you recommend switching? Thank you 100
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 12/11/2024X has been so foul, for so long that I’ve stopped posting & connecting. I’d forgotten that text based social can just be cheerful & fun. So all I want to share today, is how much I’m enjoying The Mirror & the light and that Trust by Hernan Diaz is one of the best books I’ve read this year. 120
Andrea Constable @squigglesocial.bsky.social · 25/10/2024Well this is a much nicer place to be than X. Haven’t quite found my way round but I’ve spotted some friendly faces / people I follow. 140
