Really moved listening to Geoff Ho on Tom Swarbrick LBC. I can’t imagine the horror of being caught up in such an attack but I’d want a guy like you on my team. Thinking today of all those involved at #BoroughMarket last year.

Just checked the Met Office #pollencount and was relieved to see they have it as ‘very high’. It’s not just me being a hypochondriac then!

A large proportion of employers value degree apprenticeships as highly as a university degree and would hire someone who took this route, according to new research from Barclays: apprenticeshipguide.co.uk/employers-view… Barclays UK

It’s been a tense few nights with limited sleep due to bats in our bedroom. Not sure I will ever open the windows again.

#physics experiment to find the centre of mass. Very basic but it worked!

Note to self - don’t do the Virgin Red quiz first thing without glasses. I presumed you wouldn’t have Vlad or a builder on the private island with you so opted for Richard Branson.

Very proud that A passed all his IGCSE exams. That’s 4 done a year early. Now on with the rest.....

Good luck to everyone getting their GCSE results today. #HomeEducation #gcseresultsday2018

Good luck to the BBC Breakfast team getting their Maths #gcseresults2018 today. @BBCNaga you are right - Maths is so much harder now. Just went through the course with my son and boy it was tricky. But he passed!

Back to school for DD today, that was an early start, out of the house at 07:10. Feels like lunch time already.

Is there anything more puzzling than some of the items for sale on Wowcher?

At long last - if behaviour in schools is addressed then maybe so many people won’t be forced to home educate. It’s also time parents were held responsible for their children’s behaviour in school so that teachers don’t have to deal with it. Ofsted Department for Education

Loved listening to Ricky Gervais on the radio today. Was in the car with my beloved #miniatureschnauzer on the way back from the vets. Great to hear you love dogs so much! Also totally agree - acts of kindness make me cry far more than sad things!

4 IGCSE exams down and 5 to go. Then we embark on the next 4 subjects. This time next year our #homeeducation journey will be complete. I feel so lucky to be having this experience, don’t really want it to end!

IGCSE exam number 6 of 9 today. So far it’s been seamless and our exam centre have been amazing. A has been extremely calm and mature throughout, I’m feeling like a very proud Mummy. Meanwhile, new textbooks arrived yesterday for next year’s subjects.

I will be soooo glad when these GCSE exams are over and I am not even the person sitting them!
