Billie Piper âhatesâ homeschooling her children
The 38-year-old actress â who has sons Winston, 12, and Eugene, eight, from her marriage to actor Laurence Fox and two-year-old daughter Tallulah with boyfriend Johnny Lloyd â is trying to âcrack onâ with being back in lockdown because of the spread of coronavirus across the UK but she admitted none of her household are enjoying the fact that schools are closed again 4 February 2021
She said: âWeâre OK. Weâre just cracking on. Everyoneâs going through it and other people have some terrible situations. Iâve got two boys home schooling and they just hate it. And I hate it. If a teacher hears me losing it down the phone, Iâm past the point of caring. The mask has slipped.â

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Or so we’re told. In truth, the holidays can be a frightful time. And this year is especially dreadful. If you’re like me and tend towards the melancholy and spooky, then you’re practically allergic to a lot of trademarks of Christmastime. Caroling, tinsel, lights they just don’t do it for me. I like my holidays tinged with strange tidings, which is why I’m a particular fan of horror-themed Christmas content. That’s why this year, I’m sharing with you a list of some of the spookiest holiday-set short stories I could find. These eight tales turn the holidays on their head, will have you peeking around corners, and will hopefully distract you from real-world horrors. Because Christmas is always better with ghosts.

Conversations this year have, by necessity, become more intentional than ever. The silence and stillness of the pandemic â which emptied streets, rolled cars into garages, quelled the chatter of local supermarkets â was both soothing and terrifying. No longer would you sit for hours making small talk with your favourite hair braider. No longer would you bump into a friend at the shops. Control over conversations reigned, at a time when the virus was taking over the rest of our lives.
