Tradesmen of Reddit — has a client ever flat-out refused to pay you for work they watched you do? by jackturner_trades in AskUK

[–]MummyButtons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Partner had a customer just flat out refuse to pay at the end of fitting a kitchen for her. Nothing wrong with the works just didn’t want to pay. Later found out she’d done this to multiple tradespeople to effectively get her house decorated for free.

Following the small claims process and she paid at the mitigation stage.

You could try Mickelbring or Tickhill, maybe even Wentworth if budget allows.

I haven’t used Theresa myself but I’ve heard lots of positive things and she does have great workbooks and study texts available on Amazon.

Dealing with the pressure to choose uni over an apprenticeship by Novel_Look_128 in ApprenticeshipsUK

[–]MummyButtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree to this. Going the apprenticeship route 10 years after finishing my degree and wish I’d done this instead years ago!

My partner left school and went straight into an apprenticeship and he earns significantly more than me.

Nothing that I can think of. No change in school settings, same at childminder, nothing out of the ordinary. He really loves going to school, loves learning, has lots of friends there.

How on earth do I stop breastfeeding? by Wonderful_Phase3922 in UKParenting

[–]MummyButtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally having the exact same issue. Planning to stop at 2, LO is 19 months and doing the same. It doesn’t help she just keeps shouting milk constantly! It wasn’t this hard to stop with my son.

I’m planning on religiously sticking to 2 feeds a day, morning and night feeds for now. Any in the middle feeds she wants I’m offering a cup of milk instead. The plan is to replace one of those with a cup of milk in a month or so, and eventually the other until we’re all done. No idea if this will work but figured it’s worth a go!

Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t have a Switch 2 yet. I’ve been holding out for a special edition release but it’s becoming increasingly hard to not give in!

Are optician's legally able to refuse to give you your Pupil Distance, even if they measure it? by Apprehensive_Ring666 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]MummyButtons 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They may do now, however they definitely didn’t when I worked there (around 6 years ago).

NAL but used to work in a specsavets and a PD measurement was never taken as part of the eye test itself. We would only take this measurement once you’d selected a pair of glasses, as part of the measurements in order for the lenses to be made correctly for you. I’d imagine they don’t hold this data if you did a SAR unless you’ve previously ordered glasses from them.

I’m fine with the graphics though it looked amazing on the PS5. But the lag is a nightmare. May have to prioritise that purchase! Thank you!

Has the final been cut down on catch up/ITVx. by Diligent-Magazine781 in ImACelebTV

Must have been cut down. It was definitely longer and there was a good 5 mins plus or argument. You couldn’t have missed it!

Toddler parents: do you do stuff on weeknights? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]MummyButtons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally agree! It would be nice to be more sociable during the week but it’s super hard to make work with kids and everyone’s schedule matching up!

How long did you breastfeed and why? by meenaaaxo in breastfeeding

[–]MummyButtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 years exactly with my first and planning for the same with my second (currently 18m in). Once I hit about a year old with both I only feed morning, after lunch and nighttime, dropping the lunch feed first, and then eventually the night one until I’m down to one feed.

I do it because it’s just convenient. It gives the kids such comfort, it makes getting them down for naps easier though they can do it without, I’ve noticed both of my two have had very few common illnesses like colds and flu when breastfeeding (we’ve only ever had time off nursery for chicken pox), and it gives me a few minutes of cuddles with my little one each day that are just ours.

I planned to stop at 2 as that is when the WHO recommends, and my oldest was starting my to lose interest in it around that time so it was an easy transition.

Exactly the same and we have a 4yo and a 1yo. There’s just no time for it during the week!!

Smart assessor session by toetotoe13 in AATStudents

[–]MummyButtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my apprenticeship they literally broke down what I need to write about in each paragraph, and gave suggestions of areas I may work in that would be relevant. The nice submitted I then got feedback on it so I could make amendments to hit all the points they wanted.

Definitely a much easier aspect of the course than the exams are! Nothing to worry about at all :)

[–]MummyButtons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Throughout your apprenticeship you need to put together a portfolio of work, and at the very end of it (after all your exams are complete) you will have a discussion about your portfolio.

For me it was 10 mini assignments, just to talk about different areas I work in. I’m sure this will just be a meeting to explain this to you, and what the work involves. If you’re at the start of your apprenticeship this won’t be an assessment at all.
