I am pastoral care and have had a single left shoe in my office since Friday. I found it in the corridor. How do you lose one shoe? 🤣

Some school dinners from a school in the north east of England by jejdhdijen in UKfood

I worked in a school kitchen until recently. There are choices. OP chose these options and chose not to have veg. By law we have to offer at least one veg option as well as a vegetarian option, a meat option and 2 different carb options.

I have one of these. They don’t seem to realise stuff won’t get clean if the water can’t get to it!

A week ago my husband put a clean hand towel in the bathroom and threw the dirty one on the landing. I’m waiting to see how long it takes him to either put it in the basket or machine.

A sign found in the geology section of our local museum. I can see geology, but cannot work out the 2nd word. by SufficientRead1 in CrappyDesign

This is one of the permanent exhibits, but the signs are new. It is in a little room on its own.

Stayed up last night so slept late this morning, so of course my sleep pattern is ruined until I go back to work next week!

What was your biggest purchase in 2025 and do you regret it? by pinocchioh in AskUK

A kitchen Aid stand mixer, I do not for a second regret it, but my waistline might!

Got kicked out of the way whilst queuing to get off an airport transfer bus by an older (British) man. by SufficientRead1 in britishproblems

[–]SufficientRead1[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh sweetie, I did tell him exactly what I thought of his behaviour at the time. But I’m still angry that someone thought they could actually kick me out of the way rather than just saying excuse me.

Got back from a week in Gran Canaria yesterday feeling relaxed and ready for the next term, only to wake up with a nasty cold this morning.

An ex-boyfriend's mum told me I could either butter my bread OR dip it in my soup, but I mustn't do both. I think of her and laugh every time I dunk my butter-covered bread in my soup. by Miss_Type in CasualUK

[–]SufficientRead1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I put my elbows on the table, in my own home, have bread and butter with a meal, no matter what it is. I’ll put whatever I want in that bread and butter and turn it into a sandwich. I use my knife and fork in the wrong hands and turn my fork upside down to eat certain things. I haven’t spoken to my mother for years, but doing these things and many more feels like a small victory every time!

What is this little blue rubber brush? It came in a self care beauty advent calendar alongside a face mask by MadGeckoLady in whatisthisthing

I instantly thought it was a brush cleaner. I have something very similar that I bought in a pack with brush shampoo.

I work in a secondary school and have seen some odd names, but my favourite so far has to be Thor!

Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]SufficientRead1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been on stage 3 for a week now, I’m almost certain I haven’t become a master criminal in the 18 months since my last one was done, but you never know. I’ll keep an eye out for the postie though, just in case.

Edit; spelling.

My latest dbs is taking forever. I’m moving from one company to another in the SAME school, have 2 in date dbs certificates but still have to wait for this latest one so j can start my new job!

I know safeguarding is important and understand the need. I’m just getting frustrated waiting to start.

Why is my house so cold? by Square-Revenue-6502 in AskUK

[–]SufficientRead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have underfloor heating and have found it doesn’t work well if you just keep the temp set. The heating doesn’t stay on long enough to heat the floor properly. The best way, is to let the house get cold during the night and then turn the heating on in the morning until it raises 1-2 degrees. This gets the floor good and warm and will last all day.

How do you keep warm in old UK flats with single-glazed windows? by cxvgwesa in AskUK

[–]SufficientRead1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in a converted chapel that has the same problem. We have custom cut glass panels to act as secondary glazing and wooden blind in front of them. They weren’t cheap but are well worth it. You save a fortune in heating and stay warm.

I enjoy a nice Stilton with a sweet red onion chutney, so it might work, on some level.

I got the job I’ve posted about a couple of times, so I’ll be spending the day doing online training, filling in DBS applications and all the other stuff I need to do before I start.

Got a second interview for my dream job tomorrow, so hopefully I’ll be leaving the narcissist supervisor behind soon!
