- Last week on @BBCBreakfast I did something I've not done since I landed my job, speak about myself on telly. But so many parents were so honest with us during #bbcsend week, it felt like the right time. Working when you have a disability isn't always easy. Thanks @louiseminchin

- Loved putting on a fancy frock and spending time in Northampton with the phenomenal @neelamASingh (who I forgot to take a selfie of, so here’s a pic of just me, i’m sorry.) I’ve never been fed or looked after better. People of all faiths, coming together to enjoy food and music.

- 10k followers! Now I’m rubbish at social media, always have been, so thank you so much to all my new followers and to those who have been with me from the start, when I barely had a career and used to box dye my hair. It’s loyalty like that we need more of in the world 😂 xxx
