My mum's life is slowly ebbing away, no appetite, no real desire for liquids, won't open her mouth for medication, it's almost like she's saying..it's time for me to go. She's always been there for us, been there for everyone. This is so much harder than I thought.

Will someone please explain to me without googling it what The Order of the Garter is? Prince Andrew has removed himself from it and looking at the accompanying image it looks like something from a bygone era. He obviously enjoyed the dressing up part.

#virginisland I've dipped in and out of this tonight, but this group of young men and women are head and shoulders above the Honesty Box/Love Island participants for their honesty and vulnerability. Not in a million years could I be on this sort of programme, too exposing.

This is one of the most emotional episodes I've watched and what a beautiful family, so loving and touching. Stacey is just the right person to be with them on their journey & so connected to little Charlotte. Life is so unfair at times..#SortYourLifeOut

When you bump into one of your musical heroes whose music still resonates as strong as it did at the height of his fame......you know that it's a good day. Thank you @HackettOfficial for your time at Birmingham Symphony Hall, you made my day.

Sasha may be Miss Birmingham but take it from me (as a Brummie) she is definitely from the Black Country which is not that far away, but very distinctly not Birmingham. Completely different accent. #MarriedAtFirstSightuk

Watching #BREATHTAKING and feeling my blood beginning to boil.......this is going to be bigger than anything we've seen before. What on earth did we put our medical profession through?

I love my country, love being British, but hate the honours system. How these two have not received the highest honour this country could bestow for all their funds raising efforts and highlighting MND is beyond me. They have simply touched our hearts and souls, the very best.

When you're prone to insomnia and you know the clocks are going back tomorrow night, that's one more hour lying there awaiting sleep.......if you know, you know.

Oh that went well .....my first personal post over the weekend and virtually zero response. I guess I haven't really got a clue how Twitter works and how people interact with it.

I accidentally deleted a post I created earlier! Anyway I just wanted to say....never ever underestimate the power of words & the effect they have on others. I retired yesterday & after 17 yrs in one primary sch the messages/cards & tributes I received were truly truly humbling.

@llewelyn20 That has happened to me this week. I work as a supply teacher in one school & I announced my retirement, I'll be leaving in July. The messages I received floored me. I truly had no idea what impact I've had on my colleagues and pupils, cue floods of tears. Schools are amazing.

In times of austerity, not much in evidence at King Charles birthday parade.......and all I want is a new set of glue sticks in school.

I think Chris Mc hit the nail on the head when he said that Paul Gascoigne's drink problem had been exacerbated by the friendship groups he was involved in, basically enablers. Loved their friendship in the dark. #ScaredOfTheDark

Really surprised how much I've got into this programme over the four nights.......their vulnerabilities showing through and how much I've liked the friendships building up too. Paul Gascoigne has many issues in his life, but he's done himself proud. #ScaredOfTheDark

The fact I'm on my tablet whilst watching this opening episode shows I'm not really invested in this drama. I love Adrian Dunbar, but it's just not pulling me in at the moment, however I'm going to stick with it. #Ridley

Guaranteed tear jerker. Something about watching our emergency services handling calls and being despatched to life changing events that puts all this political mullarkey playing out on our screens every night into perspective. These guys really are changing lives. #ambulance
