💷How important is financial education?

In July, I presented BBC Radio 4 Appeal for amazing charity Money Ready 🎙️

Such a magical evening watching Strictly Come Dancing.

Thank you to my fellow National Numeracy charity ambassador Katya Jones for the invite and the quick paso doble lesson!

Wonderful to catch up with old friends and meet plenty of new ones.

Okay, it might not win me a Fields Medal 🏅 (maths version of Nobel Prize!), but it’s a good reminder of what really counts:
💬 Regular calls
🚌 Time spent together
💐 Thoughtful gestures
💪 And consistent effort

💡 I might be a single mathematician but can I use my maths teacher brain to help long-distance couples stay connected? 💞

With England in control 3-0 V Wales after 70 mins, I feel it's now safe to switch to #CelebrityTraitors.

Yesterday I was 55 minutes late, but today only 20 mins late. Maybe next week I'll watch on time.

If maths anxiety is a learned behaviour… can it be unlearned? 🤔✏️

I joined Pearson for a fantastic webinar to share perspectives on tackling maths anxiety.

How can banking serve needs of young people?

🐷 I had a real piggy bank growing up (thanks NatWest!) - but with cash disappearing 💸, money feels less tangible for young people.

At Gimi’s “Rise of Youth Banking”, experts shared how financial apps can turn every mobile moment into a learning one 📱✨

Are you watching Celebrity Traitors tonight? Intrigued to see how dynamics work when people know each other already.

Did you know the origin of the Traitors comes from the mind of a Russian psychology student in the 1980s?
