All sorted. I've told her she can't outlive the phone as I can't go through this again! 😂

She didn't. Couldn't remember her email password either. 😫

It's Apple. I don't use Apple so it's adding to the stress.

I hate setting up new phones. It's so stressful. Setting up my mum's is next level stress because she can't remember any of her passwords. 😫😫😫

We've got a SIP telling us we need to spend more time teaching foundation subjects and less time teaching phonics in Y1!

Just saw an advert for a wedding dress on FB that said 'only been worn once' 😂

I think I'll have the same problem. Needs admin rights to install.

Woohoo!

Thanks. I tried reinstalling Adobe but it won't let me. Says it needs 'elevation'. I've referred it to our tech providers. It's just really frustrating as I'd planned to do the work today. Can't do it next week as too busy. Can't do it next weekend.

My daughter is travelling. She's currently in Vietnam and left her waterproof on a bus. The driver found it and took it to her hostel. I don't think that would happen here in the UK. We've lost our way. We've forgotten the importance of being kind to strangers.

Laptop seems to have got rid of PDF. Can't save Word docs as PDF and previously saved PDFs are now opening in Word only and the formatting has changed. Marvellous.

Is this different to your SIP supporting?

Wait... Trump didn't get it? Well I for one am shocked! Shocked I tell you.

It took me two hours longer than usual to drive to work this morning. I'll be honest, I could've done without it.

I'm simultaneously exhausted and wired. It's a horrible combination.

Laura Baxter @lteacher123.bsky.social · 6d

Love it

Daughter is in Vietnam. It's six hours ahead. She wakes up as I'm going to sleep. By the time I get home from work she's asleep. 😔

I'd actually forgotten how extraordinary it is that when I won the leadership - I wasn't interviewed as it was too close to our party conference interviewed.

And then refused a second time!

Part of the antidote to all of this is creating our own media platforms.

Hey @boldpolitics.bsky.social 👋🏼

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

I think the best thing I've ever eaten was the toast my grandparents made on a baby Belling in their caravan. White bread with lashings of butter and strawberry jam. Made with love.

Love that my daughter is flying in this.

Happy birthday! 🎂

The link wouldn't work for us. I was crushed.

I've just realised I've kept my plant alive for 6 months. 6 whole months!
