Once "Rachel from Guildford", "badass mum", "reincarnated Jane Austen".

Lefty lawyer. Difficult woman. Xitter exile. She/her
Ooh... are these a new thing? I last had to worry about this with pregnancy-induced reflux a few years ago now and didn't know these existed then. Storing away this nugget for future reference 👍

Agreed. But women's clothing options don't always allow for gaviscon smuggling. So needs must.

Rennie's are easier to slip into a pocket/handbag

There should at least be an opportunity to refuse consent for mulled wine to be buttered.

Once bought a mulled wine at a Christmas Market. As I re-mortgaged to pay for it, the vendor plopped a knob of butter in it. Deliberately. They *buttered* my mulled wine. Still not recovered.

Smoke very much not ideal 😬

Now following you for this post alone!

I don't think a criminal prosecution will be forthcoming. However, I do wonder if there is a civil case for some of the funds that were paid to them. It's difficult for charities though - they'd be spending money to recover money they might not receive. Tricky decision.

Thank you for this - already following many, but have added more, including some I didn't know had arrived here yet.

I'm Rachel, my [tennis] forehand would be strong if only I learned to make contact with the ball first.

Favourite sandwiches in our house:
Me (Millenial) - cheese and onion toastie
OH (Gen X) - BLT
Child (10 - Alpha?) - jam
Child (4) - strong cheddar (not mild - "not proper cheese", nor any other type of cheese)

Are any of these "woke"? Just need to know where the DM stands on my lunch choices.

Please can I add this charmer to your list?

Also, pregnancy is a perfectly rational thing to approach cautiously. I mean, it can be life, health and career threatening. If that's not grounds for a little healthy fear, then I don't know what is.

I don't brielieve it.

Not sure MNers coming over here would help the vibe 🫠

When Woking was *really* put on the map 🤣

I think @guardian.extwitter.link joining makes a difference. There's been a movement in the pro-EU groups I am in too.
I wasn't aware of bsky at all before yesterday and have been waiting for somewhere to really seem to be taking over from xitter. This looks like it might be the place...

Some of us are. I didn't pick it up on TV, but followed others in my online circles who I respect and trust to make good decisions.

Without a shadow of a doubt

Lovely, isn't it?!

I've just moved over... I wonder how long it will take for others?
Not actively rowing myself these days due to work and small people, but hoping to resume early starts and ergos before too much longer. And always a supporter.
