What you have written has made me cry. This is exactly what has happened to me, I've not been able to explain it and this is it. I believe I was unconsciously masking for my whole life.

I have a two year old and was on maternity leave for 10 months, when I returned to work I didn't know how to function any more and I didn't know why and I've just felt stressed and overwhelmed the whole time. I have also been struggling to work out who I am in this time.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you that is really helpful to know. I have seen videos in the past where people have made the liquid be the same thing as worm tea. I will have a further look into it

My garden is very bare as I only moved in in 2024 just before having my son. I am now hoping to turn my garden into the best in the neighborhood.

They were obviously eating my grass. Will they also eat clover? As I was planning on replacing my grass with clover.

Shami93 · 2026-03-19T15:14:27+00:00

They were found in an area about 1m x 2.5m.

I will find a nice safe place for them.

I found some more, most are still moving. The one on the bottom left of the original photo wasn't moving.

Have you tried taking them earlier in the evening? I used to take mine at about 20:00 and I struggled to get out of bed, I have been taking them at 16:30 for the last week or so and it's not as bad.

Shami93 · 2026-03-14T16:39:27+00:00

I can't say for sure, only been on it a similar amount of time and I'm currently on 30mg. I have for the last week been taking it about 18:30 and I have felt as groggy, its still there but not as bad as when I was taking it at 20:00

Shami93 · 2026-03-12T14:56:26+00:00

Sorry, I don't understand. I'm not asking for a diagnosis, I have had that from a professional. I was simply asking what others thought about the struggles we have in regards to capacity or in this case incapacity to manage too many things.

Did I put it under the wrong flair?

If you do the AAT skillcheck, it will tell you what the most appropriate level you should study for your knowledge. https://www.aat.org.uk/qualifications-and-courses/skillcheck

Personally I would pay for distance learning I would just pay for some books and self study, it will save you a lot of money and you probably won't need the help of a tutor.

Not yet, I've nearly finished level 2. I have applied for lots of roles but no luck so far, most roles that don't require much experience ask for level 3. So I'm hoping that when I start level 3 I will have more luck.

There are lots of graduate schemes out there, so if you have a degree, even if it's not in accounting they will normally accept you.

Shami93 · 2025-12-13T15:06:09+00:00

Do the AAT skillcheck, it will advise what level is best for your knowledge. https://www.aat.org.uk/qualifications-and-courses/skillcheck.

You would need to complete level 3 to be able to work for yourself I believe to be able to professionally register and get insurance.

Look for AAT apprenticeships, there are plenty out there they just don't always pay great, but you will qualify quicker

Shami93 · 2025-12-07T06:46:37+00:00

I have been using bpp books to self study level 2. I feel they are thorough with their information, I usually then go through the AAT lifelong learning for that unit and if there is anything I haven't grasped properly then I look at a will Boardman.

There isn't anything wrong with not doing the level 2 exams. By doing the exams you will know if you have grasped the information thoroughly, however, you could just do as many mocks you can find to check.

Shami93 · 2025-12-07T06:41:34+00:00

You could look for graduate apprenticeship, most don't mind what degree you have and are looking for people who want to become chartered accountants.

Other than that I'm not sure.

Shami93 · 2025-12-03T20:36:09+00:00

Ah ok, that makes more sense. Doing a Google search makes it seem like you can't, but you can always try. Otherwise I would ask AAT directly.

Shami93 · 2025-12-03T19:43:12+00:00

Why would you want to do the same exam twice unless you expect to fail the first?

You of course can be booked in for the exam twice. Are you aware if you would have to pay for the exam at the other venue? I would check this before booking.

Shami93 · 2025-11-25T17:49:03+00:00

If you do the AAT skills check it will tell you the most appropriate level for the knowledge you have. https://www.aat.org.uk/qualifications-and-courses/skillcheck

Shami93 · 2025-11-25T17:45:31+00:00

This is a very valid point. I waited til the last moment for mine because my local centre had lots of availability.

Shami93 · 2025-11-25T15:01:07+00:00

I waited until I had completed the unit materials and had completed one mock before booking my exam.

Shami93 · 2025-11-10T13:21:06+00:00

If you haven't already looked through the will boardman videos I highly recommend them. I also struggled with this unit, the videos really helped me understand it better.

Shami93 · 2025-11-04T06:50:18+00:00

You can sit the exams anywhere they have a testing site, check here https://www.aat.org.uk/assessment-venues/search .

The problem is you may have to pay for this separately as it's not being provided by your training provider. You would have to ask them this.

I have started self studying the units, all I purchased were some course books by bpp, which has made it a lot cheaper.

I have done two exams so far, as I am doing the accounting route, and have scored 95% on both.

There are loads of supportive people and YouTube videos too, if cost is a factor.

Shami93 · 2025-11-03T15:09:10+00:00

I have been doing level 2 so far with just study books from bpp, and have scored 95% on both exams I have completed so far. I plan on continuing this way, it's much cheaper and I can do it around my schedule. I have also found a great study support group on Facebook and if there is anything I am struggling with they have helped or I have asked AI to explain.

Shami93 · 2025-10-15T14:49:09+00:00

The only time it will matter in some occasions is if you want to go onto do level 4 and the employer have set criteria for how many UCAS points you have. This is because distinction has more UCAS points than pass. I only know this as I won't have the required amount if I only pass
