@joncraig I am NOT a fan of Penny Mordaunt but I’m even less of a fan of this kind of disgraceful sexist analogy. Only a male journalist would think this is ok. Ask your female colleagues. I’m sure they’ll agree.

Advice for @JohnLewisRetail - when the women’s toilets are closed on the ground floor, don’t have an employee with zero understanding of disabilities deciding who can and can’t use the accessible toilet. Told me I could only use the toilet if I told him what my disability was!

I told him not all disabilities are visible. He said his manager told him only pregnant women (I could have been) or disabled people were allowed through. 1. Why was a man given this sensitive task? 2. Why don’t your staff members have adequate disability awareness?

My life before calligraphy wasn’t happy one. Thank you @SkyNewsAdele for featuring my story today.
'Toxic and fear are two words I would associate with Ofsted inspections”. @oxcallig describes her experience as a former teacher. While the sister of a headteacher who took her own life has described inspections as “a reign of terror”. My report: youtu.be/8-SIjJ5QC7Y

@LEGOLANDWindsor can you explain why the midweek preschool and adult tickets aren’t available on a FRIDAY? I have my pre-schooler with me only on my day off which is Friday, this feels really frustrating. I can’t afford to lose a day of work and nursery fees. Day off lottery!

Freehand calligraphy engraving is one of my favourite aspects of my business. A very special gift for a mother of the bride. #weddinginspiration #calligraphy

@Ofstednews just as your inspector entered my classroom, the technology failed - no objectives, no task explanations. Nothing available. Your inspector stayed and watched me crumble then gave awful feedback to my headteacher. I had a panic attack every observation after that.

@BBCNews @SkyNews when will you report on the death of a headteacher following an Ofsted inspection?

As an ex-senior leader who worked through an Ofsted inadequate grading that crushed my mental health, this is heartbreaking and close to the bone. Ofsted need to suspend all inspections pending investigation, for the sake of our teachers. #ofsted theguardian.com/education/20…

This blog about average wedding costs has left me feeling really flat. With no explanation for how it’s calculated, we get couples believing they should get save the dates, wedding invitations, RSVP cards, place cards, table numbers and table plans for £250 ☹️ #weddingbudget

Share far and wide! Women are the answer to the economic issues we face but the government struggle to see this!
EXCLUSIVE: Figs from @CentreProPolicy show the UK’s losing out on between £27bn - £38bn a year in economic output, the equivalent of 1%GDP, because women are unable to work extra hours due to unsuitable childcare - (cost/availability).Report below & big thanks to @PregnantScrewed

My counter-blog after seeing a ridiculous wedding blog telling women how to be a spot-free bride! We don’t need society to put their pressures on us. #SBSwinner #SBS #Weddingblog theoxfordcalligrapher.co.uk/…

I have been working on my mindset over the last few weeks and am feeling ready to scale my calligraphy business, including some passive income opportunities. Exciting stuff!
