Dear @Beko & @currys: happy Xmas Eve. All we wanted for Christmas was a working washer/dryer to make our lives a little bit easier over the festive period whilst caring for 3 children under 5 but you've both let us down! Next year, we won't be using either of your brands - Ta!

#Newsnight basic role of government is to protect its people - when you work & cant afford anywhere to live, food & warmth for your family they have failed. And this isnt a fail of this government its a fail of 40 years of government.

Whoop whoop! We're all booked for @GreenManFest 2022 ^_^ Super excited BUT a little bit disappointed that the carrot of 'early bird' tickets was dangled in front of us, only to find out that general tickets were also on sale, and yes, they're the only ones left now! Never mind...
My PhD thesis entitled 'E-textiles for Self-Expression: Participatory Making with Blind and Visually Impaired People' is finally online ^_^ via @OpenUniversity It can be downloaded here: oro.open.ac.uk/view/person/z… #PhD #HCI #Etextiles #makerculture #Accessibility #Visualimpairment

So excited 🙏🥳 we managed to get tickets for @GreenManFest! This place means a lot to us. Historically I ran etextile workshops there as part of @codasign & since then it was our daughter’s first festival! It is a place of peace, joy and comfort. I can’t wait ❤️ #greenman21
Nice one @BandQ! Even we were planning on shopping in your #Watford shop with our 8 month & 3 year old whilst also going to the skatepark we got told we werent allowed to - even though legally we can park up to 2 hours??Shame on you. @WatfordCouncil this needs to be discussed
