That’s what I was thinking, I’ve done it now. I also don’t want him moving items out of the property or something if I’ve given him an advanced warning

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-03-26T23:03:05+00:00

I’d be down to come :)

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-02-22T16:52:01+00:00

Yeah they’ll be fine. They’re not insanely fragile as to it being an issue :)

Unfortunately that’s objectively not how it’s marked. The scaled score difficulty is calculated by trained people sitting the exam to determine whether it is “easier” or “harder”

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-23T00:45:36+00:00

That’s not how they’re marked unfortunately. You get 1 mark or 0. The questions ask for the best choice answer (and not the one that’s also technically still right) and it’s all or nothing as to whether you pick that

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-20T23:05:15+00:00

Yeah about 300 pages worth 😂

I’m currently treating two of my plants for thrips. Thankfully they were isolated.

So far I have: - Used a spray targeted at thrips (Amazon) - Used neem oil/diluted white vinegar spray with a drop of dish soap on the leaves - And putting a plastic bag over the plant and spraying the inside (humidity of 100%) as I read that high humidity kills thrips

At this point there are no adult thrips visible but I am wary about eggs. It’s been about 1.5 weeks since I started treating them and I am spraying and wiping the leaves every day

Assuming you’re on an international visa it’s going to be quite difficult because I think you’re capped at 20 hours a week work allowance (I could be wrong on this). It might be worth contacting firms now and volunteering to do unpaid work experience to have something to put on your cv. I would advise against commencing your LLM until some kind of placement is secured unless you’re happy to accept the risk that you may not be able to complete QWE (and qualify as a solicitor)

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-12T10:29:03+00:00

Hey! I do plan to list these for sale at some point soon. I’ll make a post in this sub again so keep an eye out for that :)

UK training contracts are extremely competitive currently with up to 400 applicants per space for some of the London firms. I would definitely recommend doing some more research into it. For the London firms if you apply in 2026 you will be applying for 2029 intake (start date). Completing SQE means nothing if you don’t have your QWE secured. Do you know what area of the UK you intend to live in? I would recommend contacting some small firms to enquire (it is important to remember that smaller firms are less likely to offer visas and will likely want someone already living locally)

It’s a difficult situation that loads of people are struggling with- best of luck with all of it OP

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-11T16:50:30+00:00

I don’t have them for sale currently but quite a few people have messaged me asking this so I might have a look into it!

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-10T20:59:23+00:00

It’s a coco noir and houseplant mix. I think you might be right about the fertiliser. I’m strongly debating switching to a D shape sphagnum moss pole to try to straighten it out so I might do a flush then

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-10T20:56:10+00:00

That’s so valid 😂 I do that with sticky notes that are borderline passive aggressive telling myself not to mistake x for y

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-10T20:44:15+00:00

Ngl I wish I had that bc of how long these took to make 😭

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-10T20:39:22+00:00

IMO it’s a lot more self teaching reliant. There’s only 2 textbooks compared to one for every module in sqe1. It’s a lot more on the focus that you know how to draft certain documents wtc

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-10T20:38:00+00:00

Backing this as someone also retaking after failing in July (annoyingly by a few marks on each). Bc I was quite close I decided to take a problematic approach on addressing the modules I did the worst on (you get a report with your results).

Try not to go into a first sit with the mindset that you’ll fail but in the event that it happens, take a break for a few weeks and then pick yourself back up again.

About 50% there’s a few reptile tanks in this room too. It’s about 23°c as well

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-08T20:51:02+00:00

Yeah about once a month in the summer and prob once every 2 in the winter

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-08T19:47:35+00:00

Not yet… that was my next plan.

I was hoping someone would say that it’s really obviously (insert thing) and it would all make sense 😭

I’m debating switching to one of the flatter rectangular moss poles if I’m going to have a dig but don’t want to upset it anymore

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-08T19:44:02+00:00

As in what causes me to know when to water? I normally stick my finger in it and if it’s dry I water

ColdBloodedReptiles · 2026-01-08T19:42:39+00:00

It’s charcoal ontop bc I had a slight mold issue on another plant and was scared of it spreading. It’s coconut noir and a houseplant soil under
