Currently trying to read some feedback on an article draft whilst at a 5th birthday party inside a soft play, after being up most of the night with a teething baby.

Today I found a jewellery box stashed inside an old wardrobe in our garage. How exciting I thought, perhaps my husband has bought me a fancy and beautiful gift and plans to surprise me!

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.
