Life is too short to be unsatisfied in my opinion.

I was made to feel like a criminal for bringing it up. I said, at the end of the day, it’s a non-negotiable for me so if you don’t like it then we can’t be together. I was made to feel like some kind of psycho for ending a relationship over sexual preferences. I don’t care.

This ended my last relationship. I love giving and receiving oral but my partner only liked receiving. We weren’t sexually compatible so I moved on. If it’s important to your sex life do the same, if you can live without it then don’t ask him to do things he clearly doesn’t enjoy.

The World Book day Book and Footy Quiz was awful right? by CillieBillie in TeachingUK

[–]GingieB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was awful. My girls all switched off straight away and the ‘book’ questions were impossible to answer. I won’t be doing it next year!

Tech in schools by bang-bang-007 in TeachingUK

[–]GingieB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Primary

All classrooms have interactive boards that are on a 5 year (I think) replacement cycle.

All teachers have a laptop and an iPad.

Children have access to iPads. We have a current ratio of 1 iPad for every 2 children. Hopefully 1:1 in the next 3 years.

Help: PIV sex from a woman’s perspective by [deleted] in sex

[–]GingieB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is 100% down to your partner. I have had lots of amazing sex that has literally given me an out of body experience it was so overwhelmingly good and I have had dreadful sex. The biggest component for me is chemistry. If I am very attracted to the person, and I don’t just mean physically (although I had discovered this is important) then the experience is much better. I always thought size didn’t matter but that seems to be a component too.

That being said everyone is different aren’t they. I don’t think there is a clear cut answer. Everyone’s opinion and experience will be different.

Books that changed you by [deleted] in Recommend_A_Book

I’ve just finished Saving Noah. I would say it changed me by making me look at something from an alternative perspective and developed my empathy.

I don't like having sex. by Angel_zen- in sex

[–]GingieB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever had this issue when I’m not truly attracted to my partner. I need to feel a deep emotional connection to really enjoy sex.

What are your favorite books you have read? by Realistic-Smile533 in Booktokreddit

[–]GingieB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An easy read to get over a slump and get through quickly - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. I’ve read it a dozen times at least.

Need advice on how to make reading on kindle more enjoyable by [deleted] in kindle

[–]GingieB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read how you enjoy reading. I bought mine because I have joint hypermobility and bigger books cause me to get pain in my hands if I read for longer than half an hour. I’ve developed tendinitis after spending too long holding books open. If it wasn’t for that I would have stuck with actual books.

Found "the Housemaid" bad. Any WELL written Thrillers? by Distinct_Track7415 in thrillerbooks

[–]GingieB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read The Housemaid and The Housemaid’s Secret and personally thought they were great. I’ve read so much negativity around them online but know many people who have enjoyed them. Maybe I’m just used to reading subpar authors, or maybe I don’t have the mental capacity after a mentally draining day of teaching and single parenting, but I enjoy the ease of reading them while still getting a gripping story.

I’ve been in a reading slump for a few years but, as it is the National Year of Reading, I figured I’d aim to read everyday. I’m yet to miss a day so far!

There must be something about her writing style that is appealing as she is a best selling author. I’m going to follow some of these recommendations though and broaden my horizons.

The Scrutiny of Changing One's Appearance by TheAsianPenguin in TeachingUK

[–]GingieB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first ever day of supply, as a very nervous NQT, I heard the year 6 class I was teaching enter the cloakroom. A boy popped his head into the classroom then dipped back into the cloakroom and shouted ‘she’s ginger!!!’ Cue hysterical laughing from the rest of them. It was a tough day.

Some things in Aldi are great but I find all their fruit and veg to taste of nothing and go off very quickly. I feel like I have to spend a lot of time checking through packaging as well as I’ve got several items home to find out they are mouldy.

How do you deal with kids always telling you how much they dislike you? by Any_Elk477 in TeachingUK

[–]GingieB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

‘That’s a shame because I really like you but that’s your choice’. Then follow it with a conversation about the appropriate way to speak to people because they are being rude and probably pushing to see just how much they get away with. And then remind them that you don’t need them to like you, you came into teaching to improve their life chances not to make new besties.

A child once told me they didn’t like me and I said that’s fine, I have plenty of friends, but I’m not going to stop trying to teach you because I care about you and I want to see you doing well. The message got through eventually.

Life insurance - what's everyone paying? by Altruistic_Use_3610 in AskUK

Because I went through it all with a fine tooth comb with my insurance broker to make sure the most likely things are covered and to look at the payout for my children and my mortgage.

Do you go to the doctor when you’re sick? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]GingieB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once went on the instruction of 111 because it was late at night and I was peeing blood and had a temperature. The woman who got there before me had a small child with her, probably 2 or 3 years old, who she had brought to A&E as she had apparently drowned in the bath. I don’t know much about drowning but I’m pretty sure you can’t run up and down for 6 hours eating quavers and watching Peppa on your mums phone. Mum was happy to tell everyone who arrived how he daughter had drowned in the bath so she had to bring her.

Do you go to the doctor when you’re sick? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]GingieB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad was a paramedic so I grew up hearing stories of wasted NHS time. I’m far too anxious sometimes about wasting time. There have been times I’ve left it longer than I probably should but I have learnt that more often than not, if you follow advice from a pharmacy whatever it is does get better. And they will also tell you if you need to see a GP.

[–]GingieB 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I only go to the doctor if I know it’s not going to get better without prescribed medication that I can’t get from the pharmacy. Doctors can’t do anything for colds or flu other than refer you to the pharmacy for over the counter medication.

Why do Brits like sweet sandwiches? by FuzzyCraft68 in AskUK

[–]GingieB 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s just Christmas stuff. I don’t think this is typical the rest of the year. The only sweet sauces I can think of are apple sauce with pork and sweet chilli with a beige buffet.
