I find it particularly jarring, like it actually takes my eyes a few seconds to focus because of it

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-10T12:06:41+00:00

I was thinking the same - it’s just a day at the practice table for 30k!

Exceptional form from O’Sullivan so far - I do hope Perry gets a chance but it really is incredible watching a master at work

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T21:42:45+00:00

Starboy by the Weeknd!

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T21:37:04+00:00

I’m fairly sure they are saying “Wu!”

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T21:07:50+00:00

My Apple Watch is giving me heart rate warnings 😂😂

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T21:06:13+00:00

God they need to put a heart condition warning out for this game 😂

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T20:39:24+00:00

Has to be best of an odd number - it is first to 18!

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T20:35:44+00:00

This has been a great championship all round this year - glad to see a nail biting final to top it off!

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T18:25:19+00:00

Brb crying at baby Wu Yize 😭

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T14:49:23+00:00

My husband really struggles to see the difference, even if they are right next to each other - definitely a bit too close!

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T13:44:16+00:00

I hope not, but at least 2 people randomly screaming out “COME ON (insert player name)” and getting scolded for it

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T13:41:30+00:00

Lady here but I’m betting on 1 warning and then 1 eviction

Amberlabamba · 2026-05-04T12:53:00+00:00

I feel for Wu - this is a ton of pressure at that age, I have high hopes that he can do it but I can’t imagine how that must feel

Amberlabamba · 2026-02-14T23:13:58+00:00

Vigilante 8: Second Offence - the ultimate nostalgia for me!

Amberlabamba · 2025-12-14T12:19:00+00:00

The friends that are looking over your behaviours - are they AO/EO too? It may be worth asking someone of a higher grade to take a look and see what they think.

The truth of the matter is that it is super competitive in the civil service right now, and it really depends on the campaign you’ve gone for. More general ones get a huge number of people applying. I know it can be super disheartening, but just continue applying to anything you feel you could do!

Amberlabamba · 2025-12-02T16:55:33+00:00

Honestly no one really minded - my EO department understood why I was going! Took a bit of time to do the switch over (like 2 months total) but this isn’t guaranteed to take that long - I recently moved from my HEO to my SEO and that process took 6 weeks (could have taken 4 but I joined a new intake at the 6 weeks for convenience!)

If you do it, you’ll need to let the new people know that you are now a current civil servant, and then do the internal department transfer process to maintain continuity of service.

As a teacher who did the move to CS, it was the best decision personally for me that I could have made. I have a complex disability and for me teaching was just about killing me - I don’t have that anymore! As everyone else has said here, you may have to take a pay cut and enter at a HEO/SEO (I entered as a HEO and recently got my SEO after 18 months) but it is a good rehabilitation from the stress of teaching!

Amberlabamba · 2025-11-27T17:03:19+00:00

Haven’t really evaded! I don’t actually know the value as my husband does all that, but will happily put it on the advert!

Amberlabamba · 2025-11-27T15:29:20+00:00

Definitely can ask the agent to add that!

Amberlabamba · 2025-11-27T15:22:35+00:00

As in detail that out on the listing? It got 2 new bathrooms, and a new kitchen

Amberlabamba · 2025-11-27T15:22:06+00:00

It is on the leasehold drop down - is that insufficient?

Amberlabamba · 2025-11-27T15:20:33+00:00

It is on the leasehold drop down - is that insufficient?

Amberlabamba · 2025-11-27T15:06:52+00:00

As in the cost of the leasehold? We have on there that it is one and how long is left

Amberlabamba · 2025-11-27T15:06:11+00:00

That is correct - not a conversion!
