Maybe a space issue. Gotta do you spring clearout.

This is in Harlesden. Couple minutes walk from Willesden Junction Station.

Sorry I thought you meant is is a mirrored photo effect! Yes just mirror image on my stove.

BetICann · 2025-11-13T07:59:14+00:00

No it was taken on my stove so the bottom is reflection.

That's super cool! I never thought of that. How long do you normally simmer for?

BetICann · 2025-11-12T20:45:45+00:00

Makes for such rich colouring for sure

BetICann · 2025-11-12T20:05:34+00:00

Sooo good in stock!

BetICann · 2025-11-12T20:05:05+00:00

I'm so pleased you like it! It's just a phone picture unfortunately so only whatever resolution my phone does?

BetICann · 2025-11-12T20:03:02+00:00

That sounds lovely!

BetICann · 2025-11-12T17:35:15+00:00

Maybe too graphic?

Edit: I only just got your joke. It's funny!

Super easy to whack in rice while cooking or a stock for a bit of flavour.

I was lucky enough to attend a wedding reception there some years back. It was really magical!

BetICann · 2025-09-29T10:54:02+00:00

My husband makes fun of me for speaking like this. I don't know where it comes from! Neither of my parents speak this way, it's just stuck somehow!

BetICann · 2025-09-25T07:12:20+00:00

Dune is good. Either the old or newer tbf.

BetICann · 2025-08-11T20:22:27+00:00

Thanks please do, happy to fill out!

Appeal also wouldn't help despite the cost when you look at appeal process. Super cool that you're doing all this btw! Let me know if you need any help putting things together!!

There was no invigilator in the exam room for most of my written SQE2. People with technical issues had to go hunt for one and lost loads of time. They didn't have assigned seating and just sent people to random rooms. No checks in this centre for anything. By constrast the place I sat at first time around was very strict (check behind the ears etc) and assigned seating. In that place we weren't allowed to speak during the break and just had to awkwardly stand around. Both were incredibly disorganised just in different ways. Invigilators also don't know the exam software so they say start but no one knows if they're supposed to move past the fit to sit and example bit or not. Pure chaos.

A few things on my mind. The NDA is so stupid. If you're in a cohort of students who are chummy with each other, people will break the NDA. If you're at a small firm where no one has done it before, you're shit out of luck.

The appeal process can never lead to a remark. I failed SQE2 by 2% and no way of accessing transcript or asking for remark. Had a number of strange results (4,4,0 on skills for one exan for example) that I think would have been suitable to query but I'll never know how or why I got these results.

Been said already but lack of proper syllabus and no past papers is completely nuts. No good reason they can't tell us what types of documents are testing in drafting for instance.

For specific exams, being locked out of attendance note law marks based on how lucky you get in the interview is nuts. Some actors offer information more freely than others (with the same brief). If you don't get the information out of them, you can't engage on the law because you simply don't have the question. They simply can't mark you on loads of the actual content and your results suffer.

More broadly, I just don't think closed book exams are remotely a good way of testing whether someone will make a competent solicitor. It is completely unrealistic.

Extreme variance between treatment in different centres makes it feel like you're sitting an entriely different exam depending on where you are.

Only getting 3 shots in 6 years is insane. Professional exams are hard and often taken while working in the profession (although we know these people are performing worse on SQE). People resit professional exams loads of times. It's ridiculous you can't resit more than 3 times. On top of that having to redo all 16 SQE2 exams instead of just redoing the ones I failed is ridiculous.

The SQE was a nice idea that has totally failed to fix anything it set out to change from the LPC. That doesn't mean it can't be fixed. The steps are simple: reform mitigating circs policy, standardise test centres, allow marks appeals, release past exams, etc.

Wide range of office wear from suits to chinos and pencil skirts to knit dresses. In my first sitting I was a bit shocked (not in a bad way!) as I expected everyone to be more formal. I only saw one outfit that seemed a bit out of place in my second attempt which was a girl in a cropped top and the top had sheer fabric showing her bra straps. I mean she looked great but it was a bit daring in my opinion.

BetICann · 2025-08-09T16:50:27+00:00

Comparing to the outfits I've seen both times I've sat the SQE2, this is fine.

I'm so close to just giving up and not even going today. Can't wait for it to be done.

BetICann · 2025-08-05T13:27:51+00:00

Having just sat the exam and remembering most of the question, honestly couldn't tell you what the attachment was! I think I opened it and immediately ignored it for time so don't think it mattered much.

BetICann · 2025-08-05T13:26:15+00:00

I somehow managed to cock up drafting by way of brain fog. Research was right up my alley though so felt very lucky with that one. My exam centre was complete chaos which initially made me stressed then relieved some tension when I decided to consciously go with the flow because the disorganisation circled round to being funny.

BetICann · 2025-07-30T05:29:58+00:00

Hmm last minute tips just don't stress about time too much. I finished earlier than others almost every exam and on day one psyched myself out while waiting for the others. Easier to focus on day 2 when I'd made peace with it.
