I was seven when the Y2K buzz hit — old enough to know it wasn’t a crisp flavour, but still young enough to think “the millennium” meant something magical. The adults made it sound like the whole world was about to turn into a giant glitter ball. The living room looked like Hobbycraft had exploded.… Read more

Every school had that one session that wasn’t really a lesson at all. For us, it was called Jigsaw — and it was the absolute highlight of the week. Jigsaw was split into four groups: singing, dancing, drums, and guitar. Basically, school told us: “Go be in a band for an hour. We’ll allow it.”… Read more

Charity days at school were meant to be simple. Wear the colour, donate £1, feel smug about being a good person. But for me, Wear It Pink Day became a lesson in stress management — and I was eight. I had the outfit sorted: pink top, pink skirt, pink socks. The pièce de résistance? A… Read more

There are few moments in school life more electric than seeing that giant, slightly wobbly TV stand being wheeled into the classroom.
