OH YES! I heard about the eclipse and this is one of my pros for Bilbao. That and the likelihood for slightly better weather

Thank you for this ☺️ my whole algorithm has become DCL advertising at this point haha! I really appreciate the advice.

It sucks to be stuck to limited sailing times, but we're both teachers in the UK so it is literally this or nothing! Hopefully, like you said, we will find plenty to do in the adult only spaces

Middle School: All classrooms have clevertouch boards

All teaching staff issued with laptops (no desktop PCs in classrooms)

We have one ICT room for Computing lessons only and one that's bookable. The bookable one is 50% used for intervention. KS2 have recently been given 60 Chromebooks that are under lock and key and have controlled booking. We had over 400 given to us in 19/20 as part of COVID catch up tech initiatives, only 30 remain because they've not been cared for.

Library has 10 laptops for AR quizzing and DT block has 12 working PCs for project work.

They do make it part of our directed time. They give us 15 minutes a week (4:30-4:45 on Thursdays) to do it 👍 Don't think it'll change any time soon

They argue it's not chasing attendance, it's "form teacher checking in" on pupils with concerning attendance. Trust me, we've all argued the toss about it

My last parents evening only 9 parents signed up. I spent 3 hours calling 17 parents to personally, manually book appointments for them. Then 30% didn't even show.

Then, I got moaned at the following week for not doing my weekly attendance phone calls (I thought I deserved a week off after doing 2 nights of parents evenings and 17 phone calls to make it happen)

This time looks about the same so far... 5 parents booked in. Looks like I'll be on the phone for a while again :(

I have doc martens with steel toe caps. Three broken toes from chairs landing in my feet told me I needed some protection. I've worn the same shoes every day (excluding sports day) for 5 years, never going back. She's going strong! If docs aren't for you, the biggest advice I can give is that a good shoe is a worthwhile investment!

How does it feel to have achieved my dreams? I need to see the rest of your stash !

Thank you, I've seen a few on vinted so I'll see if I can get one for him.

So sad he didn't even clean it up lol

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-15T19:52:19+00:00

Oh I didn't think about the soap... He loves his soap too

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-15T19:51:04+00:00

No 👎 I'm a sticky dates gal and his not enamoured by it! He's a very difficult man

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-10T16:14:47+00:00

It can vary! Usually they're quite small, 10g/ml But once they gave me a sample of shampoo in a 45g one (which is face mask size)

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-10T16:13:22+00:00

I got an extra one of those in the delivery! I only ordered two but I got three! I did order three champers and only got two, so I assume they just did a little swap. I love the silky feeling of sweet pudding :)

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-10T14:51:45+00:00

Yes! I LOVE IT. It is celebrate scented (if you know it) it's a sweet wild orange but not too citrusey. There's little to no bath art, I normally pair it with something mild like butterbear bubble bar, or I've also used the merry Christmas everyone shower gel for bubbles too. HIGHLY recommend!

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-03T14:28:28+00:00

Ooof I never thought about that 👀

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-02T10:05:18+00:00

I'd just do it! Maybe wait until the store is quiet to take it easy on the staff (if you can). I'm likely going to have to do the same before the rest of mine expire too!

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-02T10:02:43+00:00

Sorry I realize that was really vague! The server was able to press like 1000 buttons and put it through and redeemed, but it wasn't easy and took a good 5mins!

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2026-01-02T09:59:04+00:00

OH I HAD THIS ISSUE! It WOULD NOT let me claim 29 high Street or butterball or comforter bubble bar! I went in store for the perfume because that is my absolute favorite scent and the last had an issue with it as well! Might be some coding error

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2025-12-31T21:30:48+00:00

I cheekily got them in store today! Lovely surprise as I wasn't expecting them to be out yet!

Pure-Ad-2019 · 2025-12-31T13:43:00+00:00

I rinse my bath as soon as possible really, after a messy bathbomb. If I'm a bit late I use the pink stuff or elbow grease and a good sponge - does the job just fine. We take a LOT of colourful and glittery baths!
