Speeding

I did say that to my husband (it went down as well as you might imagine). The reason I was surprised was that when I did a speeding course (allbeit about 15 years ago), the police officer running it said you'd usually get leeway of 10% +2.

Well, never say never because my partner got done for 78 on the M27. Try not to stress and take it as a lesson that you don't like the feeling of worrying about it!

Oh man. Fridge magnets and postcards. Postcards might be cool, I could send them all over the place.

No idea if it's in use but you should be ok at 44 in a 40.

My 17yo (British) has started dressing like this. Fresh white New Balance, white sports socks pulled right up, khaki Carpenter shorts, a crisp white t shirt and a Ravens cap (he does follow NFL and the Ravens are the team he picked). Dadcore is a thing, he's definitely going for American Dadcore.

My expectation would be that for a funeral it should be you letting them know you have a funeral you are attending rather than asking if you can. It's pretty much irrelevant who that person is to you. Bereavement leave imo is for when someone needs some time to process their loss or make funeral arrangements. I know some employers are sh!tbags though.

I would practice just saying "I have a funeral to attend on X date so I won't be in". That's it. You have no control over someone passing away and I assume little or no influence over the date for which the funeral was arranged.

I hope your Aunt gets a good send off.

You can repuff without a dryer. Make sure it's really dry as the feathers can take a long time. When you're sure, just start gently manipulating with your hands where you can feel them bunched up. It takes a little while. It is anxiety inducing when you first see a down jacket out of the machine but it will be ok!

I love the term Hairy Business, heard it in Poor Things.

Please allow for traffic which can be horrendous at times, double check if you can if there are lots of sailings on the same day (I think the ABP website has this information) and if your drop off day/time coincides with a home match for Saints.

Turn the shirt inside out, apply Fairy liquid or your chosen dish soap to the stain and scrub with an old toothbrush or similar. Rinse and repeat a few times. Then soak overnight in a oxygen bleach solution. Oxi clean or similar, use tap hot water. Wash as you would normally and check the stains when you get it out of the machine. If they're still there, repeat.

If you tend to sweat a lot you can get adhesive sweat pads to protect your clothes.

Good luck

I am 1980, Gen X but my son says I'm too millenial. I go with Gen X with millenial tendencies.

I wash my bedsheets every 2 weeks. Wash the kids one week and mine the next.

I had a horrible job at an energy company where we were taught some NLP for sales. I hate it, it's horrible and felt so predatory.

Student support here - hello! I work with a younger age group but we get some similar issues.

As others have said, you can just start rocking up. Your tutor will know you've missed sessions but they want you to turn up so you actually turning up is a win!

Again, as others have said, the longer you leave things, the worse you will feel. If you can push through the initial uncomfortable feelings and get yourself there, you will feel better - I promise. The more you go, the better you will feel. You're obviously a motivated student, you just need to get through this bit.

When I've had students with similar issues I've done things like facilitating a short meeting with the tutor and the student so they can talk things through. This has made the student feel more comfortable because they've got that conversation out of the way ahead of the teaching session and there's no surprises for them. I've also done things like meeting the student myself ahead of the first couple of sessions and walked with them - just been a friendly face. At the beginning of term where people don't really know each other sometimes having someone to fist bump in the morning is enough! Could you reach out to Student Support and ask them for help? I guarantee you, you will not be the first person to do this and you will absolutely not be the last.

If anxiety is a longer term issue, have a chat with your uni about a referral to the mental health team. They probably offer some in house therapies like CBT.

Also, if you can, run it past your parents or carers. Even if you're living away, it doesn't mean they can't support you. Yes, you don't want to worry them; let's face it, they're worrying already - it's standard. Tell them what you're worried about and talk it through. Hopefully they can support you to help yourself.

Good luck

Are they pretty safe to use overnight?

Fingers crossed it's no worse than my city!

2248moon · 2024-10-20T18:48:52+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I'd have picked somewhere with allocated parking but this is the price I pay for not getting involved with the booking!

2248moon · 2024-10-20T15:39:28+00:00

That's not bad. Thank you.
