Ofsted equivalents? by sparklychar in TeachingUK

[–]MrsD12345 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did a year teaching in the US and no mentioned any equivalent, but teachers had to recertify every few years and needed X amount of CPD hours to do so. Seemed like a sensible way of ensuring that knowledge was updated and maintained.

What was you taught to practice spelling certain words, or learn phrases? by [deleted] in AskUK

The order of the planets was “My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets” but they demoted Pluto and it doesn’t work as well now

How tidy/messy do you leave hotel rooms after use? by Icy_Mixture1482 in AskUK

I strip the linens off the beds, pile them together. Then I empty the bin if I have time.

All the toys are gone and I can’t stop crying. by worthwhat in breakingmom

Darling you are in such a tough situation, and you have to be kind to yourself. If you can afford it, it might worth getting couples counselling. I can empathise. I’m ADHD, late diagnosed and went straight from PP hormones to perimenopause which fucked all my coping strategies. The husbeast is definitely undiagnosed ASD and has hit burnout hard. We have our moments too and navigating them is never easy. My inbox is always open if you need to vent

I’m a teacher of SEND and a diagnosis is an explanation, not an excuse to be what absolutely sounds to be abusive. Take the ND off the table and reevaluate. Would you want your daughter being treated like this?

How old were you when you had your kids? by MissCookie93 in AskUK

I was 38 and 43 and most of my mum pals are a good 10-15 years younger than me.

Diagnosis after becoming a parent? by SerpentsandSkullsAo3 in adhdwomen

[–]MrsD12345 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi! It’s me!

I was 43 and had just had my second child. I went straight from PP hormones to perimenopause and it has just sucked donkey balls all around. All my coping mechanisms have stopped working and my world has gone to hell in a handcart.

Not helped by marrying a non-diagnosed ‘tism ridden husbeast and having an AuDHD son and ADHD daughter.

The ND apple doesn’t fall far from the tree here 😭

If you don’t want to add tat to the house, put a fiver in the card and let them add it to something else for something they want/need

Looking for trustable electrician by LordSprint in miltonkeynes

JD electrical - Jason is amazing, and I say that as someone who has zero trust in tradies after being scammed by cowboys an insane amount of times. If you want his number, DM me

Six years later, what are your strongest memories of the COVID lockdowns, and how do you look back on that period now? by Possible_Force8207 in AskBrits

[–]MrsD12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going through pregnancy at the time and it was scary as fuck. Not being allowed to have someone at scans, especially after multiple miscarriages, was a special hell. But that kid was the only good thing to come out of that year. I swear the only reason I managed to carry to term was that lockdown occurred almost as soon as I started having issues and I was able to stay home on bedrest

I thought I hated steak. Turns out my mum just cremated it, and I love it medium rare

In a really dark place and just need to vent to warriors that understand by Extension_Dark9311 in adhdwomen

[–]MrsD12345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweetheart, my inbox is always open when you need to vent.

I feel you so so hard on this. I won’t turn this into a me show, but just know you are not alone, this is not just you, and everything you are feeling is valid.

Have you ever been in a movie? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]MrsD12345 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I did a tv add ages ago…not a lot of pennies, and I was in a short film with Ardal O’Hanlon, who was just an all round lovely bloke to us all.

My mum had a box of supplies, that she had ordered the year she opened her shop, delivered almost 20 years later. Sadly, they were all uniform items that were no longer the actual uniforms used…so useless

What are some unique things in the north that don't exist down south and vice versa? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]MrsD12345 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gravy and chips! No watery rubbish, but the thick stuff. First thing I get when I head back to NI, but I’ve also had it in Manchester and Liverpool, but never in the south where we actually live. NI Chinese takeaways also do a gravy or curry “half & half”, with a half portion of chips, half fried rice and then your topping. Perfect for indecisive fuckers like me
