I’m seeing plenty of adverts declaring “Black Friday is upon us” or similar. But shouldn’t Black Friday be on a Friday? It’s Monday.

The Preschooler: At Lego church, I will make a motorbike.
Me: Yes, well you’re really supposed to make something from the Bible story. There’s a different one each time. But there aren’t any motorbikes in the Bible.
The Preschooler: There should be a new Bible.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

I’m 44,000 words into the first draft of a novel that’s planned to be around 80,000. We‘ve passed the midpoint and it’s all kicking off. This is my third novel and I’m really hoping this will be the one. I’m doing a course with @cbcreative.bsky.social and it’s pushing me in a good way.

Good evening, had a lovely time with the kids at a local all-age music group today but unfortunately I don’t think I can go back because I zoned out and missed singing my own name during the hello song and everyone was staring at me waiting to say my name and I was confused.

Does anyone know please, with the Oxford congestion charge if there’s a way to see how many permits you’ve used? Or are you supposed to keep a tally? Thanks.

I visited a school today.
Teacher: And it’s anti-bullying week so we’re doing odd sock day.
Me: (trying to look professional and not like that is something I do every day anyway.) I see.

The preschooler: I want to write a will.
Me: I’m sorry, WHAT?

He wanted to write with a quill.

Well, apparently it was an inset day today. I did think the school run was quiet 🙄.

Would anyone please like to offer their thoughts on Yoto vs Tonies? I will be buying either second-hand and buying the toys/cards second hand as well.

I really want someone to ask me how I scratched my face so I can explain I was pretending to use a banana as a phone and the top of the banana turned out to be scratchy.

Me: Darling, last week the swimming teacher said you did 10/10 listening. Do you think you could do that again this week?
The Preschooler [proudly]: I’m going to do ten out of NINETEEN!

I read VOGUE so you don’t have to!

Here’s what’s in with the high fashion crowd this season:

1 TIGHTS WITH NO TOPS just tights on their own
2 STANDING IN CORNERS
3 Standing on a giant plate
4 Crawling along the floor with one hand out and your head making contact with the floor.

You’re welcome!

Planning coffee with a baby mum I met…
Her: And I go to this baby group in the morning as well do you want to come?
Me: Wait no this is my one thing a day.
