Rubbish service from @marksandspencer today. Paid for home delivery, received an email to say it has been delivered and it hasn't. They're now raising an investigation with Royal Mail. Meanwhile, I'm still without part of my order. Not happy.

My thanks to @philbray73 at Yardstick for the copy of "Steal Like An Artist", which arrived yesterday. Already found it thought provoking dipping in and out in between juggling half term activities. One of those books I may keep coming back to over the years. Thank you again.

#HappyMothersDay
Real Mothers don’t eat quiche;
They don’t have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn’t come out of carpets.
Real Mothers don’t want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up.
Real Mothers sometimes ask ‘Why me?’
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, ‘Because I love you best..’
Real Mothers know that a child’s growth
is not measured by height or years or grades…
It is marked by the progression of Mummy to Mum to Mother…
The Images of a Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE – My Mummy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE – My Mum knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE – My Mother doesn’t really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE – Naturally, Mother doesn’t know that, either.
16 YEARS OF AGE – Mother? She’s hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE – That old woman? She’s way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE – Well, she might know a little bit about it!
35 YEARS OF AGE – Before we decide, let’s get Mum’s opinion.
45 YEAR S OF AGE – Wonder what Mum would have thought about it
65 YEARS OF AGE – Wish I could talk it over with Mum.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure
that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows
and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
Hope that boosted a few Mother’s spirits!
Pass it on to all those Mums out there today! – at South East, England
Thank you @JohnLewisRetail for our daughter's cheeky birthday cake treat in the cafe. She has just inhaled your chocolate fudge cake that was enormous. Saturday treat!

Customer service this morning in @marksandspencer Tolworth is beyond awful. Went to collect our Christmas food order. Woman refused to give me the order til our allocated time but only 2 other people around. Sent my husband in instead and she gave him the order. What the hell?!

Loved #TheRepairShop @jayblades_ and King Charles. Always feel humbled that there are such gifted people able to restore items rather than just discard and buy new. Wish I was that talented.

Did you know that the kitchen is the most dangerous room in your home for children? @CBTofficial
#BeBurnsAware
The kitchen is the most dangerous room in your home for children. A majority of burns & scalds take place there. Keep children safe with these key safety reminders: Keep hot drinks out of reach and Always have pans at the back of the hob. #BeBurnsAware cbtrust.org.uk/

We recently attended a fire caused by a wheat bag being heated for too long.
❗ They are a great, affordable heating solution but it's very important to follow heating instructions and keep a close eye on them in the microwave to ensure that a fire does not start.

As their parent or carer, it is ultimately your decision as to whether your child should join social media, but there are key factors to consider.

School holidays often means that many children and young people will be online (even!) more. So, we thought it would be a timely reminder to make sure your diligence towards their online safety doesn’t slip. Do you… ⬇️

Did you know more than 62% of drownings happen inland! 😲
☀️Open water can look inviting when it's hot but there's many hidden dangers. If you see someone in trouble in the water inland, call the fire service immediately. Don't attempt to rescue them yourself. 📲 #BeWaterAware
