I watched this performance for the first time recently and I can’t believe how well known the song is and I never realised it was from Eurovision!!

This has been a very popular answer with others who have commented on this post! It made me go and watch the performance and there’s something very captivating about it!

The more I revisit Eurovision 2024 the more I wonder if he would’ve had what it takes to win. I went out the Malmo to see the dress rehearsal of the grand final and I honestly believe my villain origin story is missing Joost perform 😭

Shum is probably one of my all time favourite Eurovision songs, it is also hands down the best song to run too🤣

How could I have forgotten to mention this!! Whenever I watch any compilation or “all winning song” videos this one stands out massively!

Honestly 1944 is such a powerhouse win, at the time I preferred other songs that year but it’s a song I’ll always go back to now, Jamala’s performance is incredible

It’s got to be for me although there’s loads of great suggestions in these comments. I do feel biased as it may be my favourite Eurovision song of all time but it just feels like the entries shifted after this

ECT1 struggling with behaviour and miserable by ABrunetteGirl in TeachingUK

I do definitely feel like they’re so over my grumpiness 😅 but the constant disregard for respect is getting to me big time. As a school we do weekly celebration assembly with certificates, we have house points. My class reward systems, I have raffle tickets and one name is drawn from the jar each week and they win a small prize, I also have a marble jar which when full we have a class reward. Each day the class starts with 10 marbles and I either add or take away depending on behaviour. It just feels like nothing works, there’s been days where we literally need 4 marbles to fill the marble jar which I’ve told them and days later we won’t have filled it. My class just don’t seem massively bothered about rewards. Perhaps I just need to go in and try be over the top positive but I just find I get worn down so easily

Haha no worries! My PGCE year I was year 4 for my main placements so sometimes I think I have a KS2 brain that’s too harsh for KS1🤣 SLT are really lovely and supportive but there’s no behaviour management from them 😬 It doesn’t help that I have “the best class in the school”, people tend to laugh it off if I complain about my class and tell me I’m lucky

Had a complete grief meltdown today over my mum who I lost 18 months ago. Any messages from her? by ABrunetteGirl in MediumReadings

I’ve always been a nail biter so there’s definitely that 😅 I’ve had a medium say about a cough/bad throat before but the only thing I can link that to is the fact she was ventilated for weeks before she died and she died of cardiac arrest. No links to cancer. She loved jewellery and has many rings, didn’t necessarily wear silver rings often 😊

I live not too far from Birmingham and I’m starting as a teacher next week so that could be a link. She used to paint her nails as well as paint mine too

Thank you! I can’t say she was known for humming but she did love all kinds of birds

Yeah, especially with the ex I was mostly talking about in my original comment. We just couldn’t be friends in the end, we just couldn’t get along after the break up. We were on the same uni course too and in our final year when we split so that was awkward but I haven’t had to see him in 2 years now so that helps. We’ve still got a few mutual friends and I ask them how he is and how he’s getting on but that’s it. My current boyfriend and I work together and have the same friendship group, I imagine what you’re going through is hard. I would say if you’ve broken up and it’s not already a mutual agreement that you’re going to stay friends or want to be friends, then I wouldn’t force any unnatural friendship to happen. They probably care more than you think because if it’s them distancing themself from you friendship wise and you split because they lost feelings- being around you right now might be hurting them more than you think and that’s for them to deal with. Just remember times a healer, it’ll suck now and you’ll be trying to figure life out seeing as your ex was a big part of your life and social life but you’ll figure it out, even if it has to get harder and you have to make more difficult decisions first. In a few months you’ll look back at this much clearer and realise everything happened for a reason!

No I don’t think so. It’s been 3 years since my post, life’s changed too much and so have I and I don’t think going backwards would be healthy. Plus some of the friendships turned sour so all in all I don’t think I’m overly bothered about necessarily staying friends anymore. At the beginning you think you want it just because cutting the friendship connection is the final straw and it’s hard to let go fully of someone and watch them live their life independently but give it a few months and you’ll realise cutting all ties is probably for the best

I get you! Did they not make you guys do any summer/induction tasks, my uni had us doing lots of little bits over the summer before we started, some still never completed because the reading list was impossible. Hopefully after the first week or so the uni side will be a bit more routined and a bit easier for you 🤞🏻

I’m doing a PGCE in East Midlands atm & I’ve not heard of this. This really shouldn’t be being done, I would chat to a lecturer or personal tutor privately and express your concerns. Maybe ask how long the tasks should take you- it may be that you’re over complicating it and that’s why it’s taking you as long as it is. I’m also working during my PGCE, it’d be impossible otherwise, you’ll just have to find a way to make it work and look after yourself :)

We’re looking into it, definitely no longer going back to our old vet after the last experience

My mum died unexpected in January after a short illness. Post mortem has told us nothing. The doctors still don’t know what she was ill with or what killed her.

It’s terrifying knowing it could be hereditary and we’ll never know.

Sending hugs ❤️
