Happy new year to everyone except Netflix who shut off access to Harry Potter at midnight without warning meaning the last 40 minutes of a Harry potter marathon the kids hadn’t watched meant we had to rent it from Amazon. Grr.

I am back in my happy place, I have borrowed a baby and remembered how to use a wrap. Not the finest FWCC ever but I’m rusty and it held well enough for an hour’s wrap nap #babywearing #snuggles

Donald Trump is a Kremlin stooge who wants to sell out Ukraine and the rest of Europe to Putin. We can't let that happen.
Starmer should seize frozen Russian assets in this country - today - and convince Merz and Macron to do the same.

Other half has manflu, which I believe could be fatal. My attempt at sympathy is soup, with last year’s chillies, and this summer’s frozen produce, + a stored uchiki kuri. #kitchenwitchery #allotmentlife #gardenapothecary

This morning: dinner went in the slow cooker. But also smashed a bottle of milk and got glass EVERYWHERE. We’ll call that a draw and start the day again, yes?

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.
But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.
My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!
