🎉 It’s official! People juggling paid employment and unpaid care will have a #RightToCarersLeave for the very first time.

The Carer’s Leave Bill has received Royal Assent, meaning it will be the law for all employers in England, Scotland and Wales to provide carer’s leave. 🧵

Thrilled to hear that not content to wreck my plans for living in a house & eating during retirement, #USS has distributed my name, date of birth, and national insurance number to various & sundry on the dark web.

Anyone else feeling like #USS only offering 1 year of identity theft monitoring is utterly pathethic when a metric ton of private data has been hacked? Who on earth authorised keeping all that data together in one place? Complete shambles 🤬

Hi USS,
1) How many members are affected by the extremely serious Capita data exfiltration now confirmed? Is it approx half a million as previously indicated?
2) What made you think a 12-month subscription to an identity monitoring service is an adequate response? #USS

Are. You. Kidding me.

A quick nip round the garden to pull out weeds, and I was delighted to see some buds on the hellebores

New #crochet shawl. Colours on this one have a hint of sea witch 🧹

I aspire to this level and quality of slumber

Crocheted this shawl. I love it. The colours remind me of spring forests. Shame I won't get to wear it for another 4 months 🙄🧶❄️ #crochet

Snowy cheer
