Dammit. Just about to go to bed and the next door neighbours start their fireworks :(

Completed my odd year tradition for the third time :) recommend this particular plan for anyone looking to BiOY in 2026! #BiOY #YouVersion #BibleApp

Excellent blog. My main take on Twitter was always: ‘If this was a pub, would I visit?’ I can put up with disagreement, rowdy evenings, occasional fights. But hard life rule: I don’t frequent hooligan pubs.

Just reading an article about the new year's honours list, was outraged that Lucy Bronze wasn't among the Lionesses honoured... then checked and found she's already an MBE 😂

I've just checked Goodreads and I've only read 3 fiction books this year 😂 so it's between War of the Worlds, Crime and Punishment, and Thursday Murder Club #4... I think Osman just pips it, narrowly beating Dostoyevsky for how much I enjoyed reading it

I'm towards the younger end of mellenial, but I've always been an elder mellenial at heart 😂

I'm gonna write a book set in a school from the perspective of a quiet kid whose chance of escape from his awful home life is ruined by badly behaved kids and the adults who do nothing about it.

Annual reminder that Christmas is a twelve day festival. There is no such thing as "the time between Christmas and new year", it's called Christmas.

The fact that Brentford's trouncing of Bournemouth was so far down the Match of the Day billing is ridiculous. #3PointsOffEurope

Three French Hens! #12DaysOfChristmas

I got my first eReader for Christmas 😁 a kobo so I can feed the machine just a little bit less 😂 very excited to get lots of old classics off the Gutenberg Project #BookSky

Nicola Adams was well and truly robbed.

We were told to bring presents to show at church, so I went wearing my new dressing gown, yellow leather gardening gloves, and swim goggles 😁

KENTUCKY FOR CHRISTMAS #ChristmasEveTraditions

I got WHAMMED! 😫 After winning Whamageddon for the past three years, I'm out on the 22nd this year 😭 Stupid radio one as I was flicking stations in the car earlier

It's December 21st. Our recycling bins are full. The next collection isn't till January 8th. We've got Christmas to do before then. When's the dump open?

Finally took my eldest to an away game that we won! Come on you BEEEEEEES 😁😁😁 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

Absolutely brilliant episode to end the term! I looked at applying for Houstone when they were looking for starting staff, wasn't the right time to move though, now we've moved to Derby instead :)

We're here. Just one half day of chaos left!

My final chess club of the calendar year and I've been defeated! My unbeaten record is broken by a year 10. I got cocky being a queen up and got back ranked! #Chess

Heard an assistant head telling all this morning to look at the red sky, quoting an old rhyme about shepherds... My head: "A red sun rises, blood has been spilt this night" 🏹🍃

Paging #ALevelMaths teachers: are permutations on A level? I've only started teaching it last year so only do half the course - from what I can see online AQA doesn't use them, do other boards? Edexcel?

Gah. Family dropping like flies to a sickness bug. Youngest a few days ago, wife last night and today, eldest feeling rough all afternoon, middle throwing up at bed time and... now I've been got.

Dick Van Dyke turns 100 today! What a complete and utter Legend.

I received a Christmas card in the post to work today - from my old HoD down south. Amazing 😍

I just ate a small packet of love hearts and with several of them, I didn't even look at the message #Maverick

I just needed to use Pythagoras in everyday life! We are using tape to mark up a 3-mens morris board on stage. The board need to be about 2.5m square. How much tape do we need? (I make it ~22 metres).

What a victory! Today MPs narrowly backed our bill to cut the Brexit red tape and end this economic nightmare. The PM must listen to Parliament and the public, drop his self-imposed red lines and go for growth with a new customs union.

Princess Bride is a Christmas movie

Wooooo!! After more than 6 years with @octopus.energy, I finally hit a jackpot on the wheel of fortune! Oh what to spend such riches on??

Turns out @robeastaway.bsky.social was way ahead of the curve in his excellent "Much Ado About Numbers" 😂 #SixSeven

Well this is just cool

Really annoying when you've muted a weekly hashtag but then people keep forgetting to use the hashtag so the incredibly annoying posts keep appearing.

Infantino is every creepy slimeball in every fantasy and sci-fi novel - from Wormtongue to Palpatine.

Tifa's Theme took my top spot this year. #SpotifyWrapped ... didn't even realise I listened to any songs on Spotify this year 😂 I hate music streaming services.

Well this is awkward 😂 it was incredibly rare for me to have a lunch time without at least a 5 minute detention #UndiagnosedADHD @teachertapp.bsky.social

Ha. I've really been enjoying the new chess course. #Duolingo #YearInReview

I'm still alive, there's breath in my lungs! #WeeklyWins 😂

In order to not add something actually "unchristian" here, I'm going to restrict my response to this to: "I disagree. Strongly."

Just watched the Hunter/x Macy's performance. The Derpy balloon is the best 😆

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

It's late. But my first ever set of year13 mock papers are marked! 😩 It's my own fault for suggesting to the group we'd go through it tomorrow, data deadline isn't till next week

2 child benefit cap to finally go! Woo! 🎉🎉🎉

Maths lesson material

Looks like we've lost the battle for rigour in RE. Sigh. The average member of the public has a pretty ropey understanding of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Judaism at best. That's both intrinsically and societally bad. But no, let's make it trendy. schoolsweek.co.uk/what-next-af...

Absolutely gutted with the Brentford match :( we were 5th at half time! Plus Thiago missing that penalty is extra gutting as that affects my #FPL team :'(

Small Numbers, Big Ideas is turning 1! 🎂1⃣🎉🥳🍾 To celebrate, we've got another free copy to give away! Give this a like and repost, then we'll pick a winner at random on Sunday 30th November. www.amazon.co.uk/Small-Number... #primarymaths #EYFS #earlyyears #keystage1 #maths

Wife is out at the cinema, kids are in bed. Wine, toblerone in hand. The Bear on TV. #HappyFriday

04:30. That's when the two year old decided was wake up time. Wife tries to get him back to sleep and he's chatting away... then starts singing KPop Demon Hunters -_-
