One for the footie fans here: What do we all think about Harry Kane winning it then? 😊 I’m pleased for him. He’s certainly not short of goals, is he! But it’s hard to take the award seriously when the criteria is so vague!! Is it about the best player individually or does winning trophies with your team count for just as…

We had this one going a while back, so I thought we could have a revival! What's your boring news for the day? Have you bought a new brand of shampoo? Did you find a hole in your sock?

For example: * Person 1- Cat (ends with T) * Person 2- Tortoise (ends with E) * Person 3- Elephant (ends with T) I'll start. Dog!

I'm sure we've had what's for breakfast, what's for lunch and what's for dinner before.

However if your tax…

If you could go back in time to when you first started navigating school support for your child, what’s one piece of advice you’d give yourself?

I started my new job at the beginning of June, where I officially disclosed that I have a disability, although I explained that it is an invisible disability. They were completely okay with this and asked what support or adjustments I might need. At the time, I didn't know because it was all new to me. I told them I would…

Has anyone ever had no reply to their UC Journal messages? I've sent a couple of messages recently about some really important things including notifying them of an overpayment, which I would have expected a fairly swift (and scary) response to. But it's been a couple of weeks and there's been no activity on there at all.…

Answer the previous would you rather and then state another one (I learnt this one from a boring job I had, where we did this all day..). Would you rather have telekinesis (the ability to move things with your mind) or telepathy (the ability to read minds)?

Hi Everyone, Having been doing battle with AJM Healthcare and Millbrook before them over wheelchair provision for my brother I am researching the extent of the current crisis for a potential TV or Radio documentary and would welcome anyone with similar stories to get in touch.

I was thinking about the good old days when I used to buy a magazine and put the posters up on my wall and sing along to the chart hits with my newly acquired lyrics. I was a big fan on Smash Hits. I used to love it when they gave out freebies such as a cardboard Peter Andre mask 😂 Did you read magazines?
