My son, at uni 300+ miles away, got turned away from A&E this week.
According to NHS guidelines he did the right thing seeking immediate medical attention for a potentially life threatening reason.
We’ve got him home to monitor for sepsis & pneumonia.
HOW has it come to this?

My grandad was a black cabbie for a while. Gave my mum a lift home because 3-year-old me had new shoes on that rubbed and I had bleeding blisters.
He put the meter on

When you were a kid, what did you consider to be posh?

I’m currently in hospital with pneumonia which is suspected to be covid related - meanwhile my husband has just spotted a large number of customers in your Orpington store without masks. Why aren’t you refusing them entry, like other retailers?

I sing in care homes. Often people remember songs their parents sung to them when they were little, so some songs from the 30s/40s are fine, especially if from musicals. We avoid overtly ‘war’ themed tunes though, because it can trigger really sad memories of loss

This was my Grandad in the 30s. Passed the 11+ and offered a place at the grammar school but his parents couldn’t afford the uniform and needed him on the farm. Wanted to be a doctor - became a cabbie. Was an unfulfilled man

Agree. Teachers sign up to teach, not put their lives (and those of loved ones) on the line.
Same with all key workers
Jesus Christ, is it too much to keep the schools closed until we can vaccinate the poor bloody teachers?? They WANT to teach our children! Why can’t we make sure they can do this safely?? Is it TOO MUCH to ask??

Yes, when my daughters were 12 they were quite startled by the set-up at the Charing Cross branch. It’s a small space and it doesn’t feel safe for young women (or any, for that matter) and the big hairy biker washing his hands next to them looked uncomfortable, too

It’s my birthday. One of my kids has wrapped a gift like it’s been taken hostage. I keep having to take breaks in the unwrapping, it’s so onerous.

Proud mum moment: my 16 yo has had 17 weeks of education at school this year. He’s had to transition from the GCSEs that didn’t happen to A levels with 50% taught remotely due to shielding teacher. Just had the most amazing school report. My heart is bursting.

This was my primary school. A Palladian mansion, requisitioned during the war and then given to the county council to be used as a school for (largely) council estate kids. How lucky we were - beautiful grounds, amazing architecture… our assemblies were held in the entrance hall

It’s my mum’s birthday today. She would have been 74 but she died from lung cancer, 9 years ago. She worked in a care home, almost to the last. She would have been v high risk in these troubling times but I think of her every May when the wisteria and azaleas bloom

Things to teach your kids if school shuts:
* how to make and receive a phone call
* how to make a decent cuppa
* how to clean the bath out
* how to put the loo seat down
* how to put lids on things
* what the bin is for
* dishwashers - and how to use
* ironing
* button sewing

My father-in-law died suddenly last week. He was a retired teacher. When my sis in law posted on the FB page of one of his former schools to announce his passing, 30 comments were posted within 20 mins, all overwhelmingly heart warming. Teachers change lives. Teachers rock!

Dreamt of my mum last night. Probably because this week is the 9-year anniversary of her death. We went to New York and kept losing each other. Eventually I gave up looking and she went home and texted me all her pics of a great hol without me.
Should be comforting. I guess😕

Just went into my 16 year old’s room and got a glimpse of his future. It looks like a cross between Rising Damp and Withnail & I. There was cheese in his bed. IN HIS BED. And a wedge stuffed down by the side of the radiator - the one blasting out top whack heat
