Book 2 of the year

The iGCSE that only private schools can do is also a scam. 30% coursework for some GCSEs. State schools have to do 100% exams. This is highly unfair.

Having a problem with my heart. Phone the GPS, 20th in line. Talk to Dr, come in to see Dr. Bloods then off for Urgent Xray at the hospital. I get seen straight away. All very smooth, immediate and thorough. Thank god for the NHS ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Bluesky. I’m now retired after teaching English for 30 years. I’ve spent my time travelling around Europe, reading more and investigating family history. Here is a photo of my grandmother as a 3 year old on my great grandmother’s lap. Can you see the twins?

@wmarybeard.bsky.social Hello and welcome 🙏

I’ve had bowel cancer, it’s so important to do this test and get the cancer early.

The initial ‘what on earth?!!!!’ when I got this in the post yesterday has resulted in an awful lot of my pals pointing out how important these are, so it is incumbent on me to encourage you all to do your test if you receive one. They save lives. And yes, I’ll be doing mine 😊 #health #screening
