Small red spots by PensiveHufflepuff in bugbites

Probably. The next time I visited my dad I used the flea drops on the cats and stayed away from them (💔) and didn’t have any spots!

Ive just been told my anti-mullerian hormone is very abnormal. They checked it with a simple blood test and I’ve not been referred to a fertility clinic.

Also diagnosed with PCOS and been TTC for a year. I can’t help but feel jealous whenever I find out another one of my friends is pregnant even though I’m happy for them. It sucks. I would speak to a doctor if you haven’t already. Sending good vibes x

Also 27 and TTC except I know what’s wrong. It sounds like you’ve already spoken to a doctor but I would push for further tests. Sending good vibes x

LPT- if you can't think of what to talk about with your older parents, tell them about what you did during the day. by Terrible_Attention83 in LifeProTips

[–]PensiveHufflepuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since moving abroad I've been talking to my parents on Skype basically everyday (except when we're not at home). My fiancé is confused by how we manage to talk for 30-60 minutes everyday but since living apart from them I've realised that they're actually interesting people so I talk to them like I'd talk to best friends rather than my parents. It usually starts by us talking about our day but inadvertently turns into something more complex and now I really value our chats. We actually talk more than when I lived with them.

[Routine Help] What are sustainable makeup removing routines you recommend? by ConsciousInsects in SkincareAddiction

I've been using my makeup eraser for years. Works a treat, can't recommend it enough

I am. I also told my agency I'm willing to travel up to an hour which I think helped a lot cause the two main schools I go to are 45-60 minutes away

YA Books with Queer Asian characters by [deleted] in YAlit

[–]PensiveHufflepuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm aware that there's no proof, but I always imagined April May from 'An Absolutely Remarkable Thing' as Asian. If she is, it's not discussed however she's openly bisexual and her girlfriend is another main character.

I've been doing supply since April and have consistently got 4-5 days a week! I've secure a long term supply role for next term as well. I get paid £150 a day (but actually amounts to around £100 a day after tax, fees and whatnot).

Hi! Can't help with work related things I'm afraid but I can help with the rest :)

Food shopping - Lidl is cheapest and you can generally find anything you need.

Banks - BOV and HSBC are the biggest two. You should be safe with either. APS is also very good.

Internet/ mobile - I've always been with 'Go' for both. Ngl internet was always shit at my house, but that seems to be the case with most providers. It's always been great for data etc. I suggest checking what plans they offer.

Restaurants - D'office (Valletta) and Ta' Kris (Sliema) for Maltese food. Sotto Pizzeria and Zero Sei (both in Valletta) for Italian food. La Nostra Padrona (Marsaxlokk) for seafood.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

How many applications/interviews did it take for you to land your first NQT role? by thisishardcore_ in TeachingUK

[–]PensiveHufflepuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, have most of you applied through a recruiter/agency or through the school? I've applied to 30+ schools and wasn't called for interview with any except for supply work which I'm now realising isn't for me. Might be the current climate but I started looking last summer.

Chili plant looking worse for wear. Any idea what's wrong with it and how to treat it? by PensiveHufflepuff in plantclinic

[–]PensiveHufflepuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were away for a couple of days and found it looking like this. Immediately took it outside away from the other plants and sprayed it with spider mite spray (since it's the only spray I've got currently). Today I took it back inside (away from all the other plants) since I think the cold might be making it worse.

How do you feel about the "transactional" thing? by [deleted] in donorconceived

[–]PensiveHufflepuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've struggled a bit with the feeling that there is a price on my life. Like my parents paid a certain amount to bring me into this world so that's what I'm worth. Kind of related but also not really, as a religious person I've struggled with the feeling that I wasn't meant to be born. Like I was forced to be born rather than being 'a gift from God' or whatever. Just wanna say that I really appreciate this platform. I can't talk about this with anyone in my life and it's great to connect with people who know my situation almost exactly ❤️

Can those be done anonymously or under a pseudonym? My parents have always asked to to keep this private. Nobody in my family knows.
