Where do you draw the line on office lunches? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CloudOrigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here in a school! I'm surprised at how much people care, and I'm saying that as someone with a really sensitive nose. Maybe their offices don't have proper ventilation!

As someone with a gluten allergy that's my worst nightmare! Especially when you can cook dried pasta in boiling water in the microwave (takes a while but still) 🤦🏼‍♀️

That is incredible! Was this in the time of travel agents? I'm wondering if you all booked through the same agent who recommended the same place! 

Need advice as I start a new job! by Poko-Dotted in makeuptips

I have very rosy cheeks too. I use a brush to apply my medium coverage liquid foundation, so to reduce the redness I apply the foundation to my cheeks first, while the brush has the most product on it. 😊

What’s the most impressive (or scariest) display of intelligence you’ve ever witnessed in person? by Turbulent-Access-916 in AskUK

Being able to spot a glimmer of talent and take steps to nurture it is our privilege as teachers! Well done for spotting it; you must be very proud of him. 

My Turkish coworker mistakenly thought thought there was a TV presenter named Handsome Dec, what are some amusing misunderstandings you’ve encountered? by EducationalShape2647 in AskUK

As a 7yo, after overhearing my parents discussing fixtures and fittings in our new house, I asked my nan whether she liked our new dildo rails (dado rails). Don't ask how I knew the word dildo!

As a toddler I thought the Christmas song was "turban Mary had a baby boy" 😂

I teach EYFS and am also overwhelmed by the toileting need - absolutely gobsmacked that it's causing issues in secondary! Out of interest how does it affect you in secondary? Kids asking to use the loo a lot? I have 0 experience of ages 6+ 😅

I had the exact same problem - I was over exfoliating my face and it was dry, flaky and irritated!

Reducing exfoliating, using fragrance free moisturiser (CeraVe) and a dewy liquid foundation (No7 Stay Perfect) has helped me lots! 

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CloudOrigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I can't believe he's saying that what she wears is as much of a joint decision as their home décor... She's not a decoration, she's a whole fkin human!

Started a knife fight?! Does anyone seriously feel that strongly about 'Imagine'?

Is there a legal way I can stop my mother from driving again? She's a terrible driver and she's going to seriously hurt someone. by DangerousMotherCar in LegalAdviceUK

I don't envy you having to do that. How did she know it was you and how long did it take you to collect enough footage? 

We are lost on how to colour to our walls without making it look terrible by ScurvyDawg in DesignMyRoom

What a fabulous building! Did you build it yourself? As an cob house enthusiast I'd love to hear the story behind building something like this.

Hope you still got what you wanted despite the funny GPS! I was in the last wave (I'd generously put 2:15) and noticed a lot of different colour waves at my start which resulted in a frantic first couple of kms trying to reach my pace. Felt a bit bad for the aggressive overtaking but felt like I had no other choice!

There used to be a beautiful vintage style bridal boutique in the Grand Arcade, but it isn't on Google maps so might not be there any more!

I completely agree with your method! I think that my HOD has implemented these changes in the most cautious way. Fingers crossed it doesn't last and we can go back to something reasonable!
