8 yr old tucks his arms inside his PJ top. F: “Both my arms have fallen off!” M: “Oh no. Wait a sec & I’ll have a look. I’m very good at fixing things.” F: “Oh my god Mum! That was a test!”<pauses>“If my arms had really fallen off would you have finished making my bagel 1st?”

Watching bleeped @taskmaster with the seven year old. My favourite part is when he tries to guess the swear words. “Did they say ‘flippin heck’? Did they say massive poo’?

I’ve never actually had a blue tick on Twitter, but I think now might be the time to say how much I’m going to miss mine when it disappears at midnight, just so everyone assumes I am very, very famous and important and blue tick verified. Which I am. Obvs

Has Twitter decided that all it wants to show you is tweets from newly bereaved parents and families - or is it saving that joy just for me? Every time I open the app the top tweet is something totally devastating
