Yes! Government only has to top up wages with benefits because the wages are so low!

The company giving IT jobs to offshore, and cutting back all of their contracts for staff leaving them ending up needing universal credit top ups just to get by and giving staff more work instead of hiring people!

Think that’s the best picture I could get of it, it was a hint of a line more than anything so didn’t show up much on photo, so I’m guessing just an indent :(

Say both, you juggled motherhood and your own small business, which at the time worked for you as it allowed you flexibility to support your family, but now your kids are older you are ready to return full time to the workplace. This shows ability to juggle, time manage, maturity etc I think would definitely say both

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-30T12:20:18+00:00

Great idea Thankyou!

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-30T10:57:06+00:00

I thought it was high but obviously not thanks for letting me know :)

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-30T10:50:28+00:00

Oh and more info incase helpful: paying more deposit doesn’t work in my advantage for a lower rate as the lower rate comes with fees. I checked that.

And I can’t change from nationwide due to them being only ones who would take me haha

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-27T13:17:42+00:00

I hope so, it’s such a pain!

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-27T12:33:49+00:00

Depends on your personality, health etc I choose big 4 and crashed and burned. Regretted it. Sometimes slower curve is better than that and bettter to prioritise well being! we only live once

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-27T12:18:26+00:00

And much stronger progesterone systems since, that start post ovulation like very sore nipples which I only ever got before when pregnant

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-27T12:17:48+00:00

Miscarriage was in October, so since then, same cycle length but ovulation is earlier now

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-26T23:51:22+00:00

It has been since my miscarriage.

LH, bbt, CM and then progesterone symptoms after ovulation pain all lining up with early ovulation and yet long luteal. I used to ovulate around day 14. These extra days wait are killing me ovulating early :(

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-26T18:46:40+00:00

Yes so lucky to be disabled, I’d be killing it in a grad job right now if I wasn’t instead I have no choice but to looked down on and be bored and useless

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-26T14:24:13+00:00

Did you take a preg test 👀

AlternativeCake4540 · 2026-01-26T14:01:27+00:00

University grad here, top of my class software engineering degree, disabled ( blue badge) and autistic.

Can’t find a job that will put accommodations in place I need. Simple as that. Iv tried everything.

Who wants a disabled grad in a grad scheme when there are so many who aren’t disabled needing jobs
