@YodelOnline 4 adults in my house, who’ve been in all day. Your driver didn’t ring the doorbell or knock, but I get notification saying ‘delivered to customer.’ Driver then admits leaving package ‘on front porch.’ I don’t have a front porch. Appalling service & very upset child.

Even after all these years, Ethiopia has such a special place in my heart. I can’t wait to introduce my kids to this magical country.
Today is official book launch day. The passion project of my life. Dedicated to the people of ETHIOPIA. EthiopiaPhotoBook.com

@British_Airways we have booked hotel, flights and Gatwick hotel with you. No alternative options to change flights and customer services won’t answer calls. If we cancel entire holiday and rebook elsewhere, will we get a full refund?

@British_Airways we’re supposed to be flying in 2 days with an under 1 year old. Told today our flight has been cancelled. Can’t change our flights or get a refund online. Customer services won’t take calls due to ‘higher than normal call volumes’…What exactly are our options?

What an amazing, relevant sentiment for all frontline workers right now 👏
"Heroes ask for help when they need it. Heroes fight for more just systems that provide resources...Heroes take time off..." We all need to follow this advice from psychologist Dzifa Afonu - including our team.

Really important to also think about the mental health impact of CV-19 on families!
Half a million people are expected to seek mental health services in the wake of COVID-19. We’re calling on the government to expand and diversify provision of psychotherapies in the NHS to ensure timely access to a variety of quality talking therapies. ow.ly/9Xjh50AKZqa

Is this the turning point for society actually valuing women’s unpaid labour? .... ask all the fathers who are stuck at home with toddlers! 😂
The NHS workforce is 77% female. Education is 79%. Supermarkets are majority women. We are suddenly in a situation where millions of men may need to stay at home with the kids. The extent to which they can suck it up and accept the situation will be critical to all efforts.
