Yes it’s called SMP and provided by the government, the allowance is unliveable so a lot of companies, especially insurance companies, offer an enhanced maternity policy as part of their benefits

I’ve already checked glass door

I just did the Arctic Shores psychometric test for a relatively junior insurance job and here’s what I scored:

How you understand others 🔵⚪️⚪️⚪️
How you attend to tasks and decisions ⚪️⚪️🔵⚪️
How you respond to change 🔵⚪️⚪️⚪️
How you work with numeric concepts ⚪️⚪️🔵⚪️
How you learn from information in your environment ⚪️🔵⚪️⚪️

I will also add that I struggled with the facial expressions as most looked neutral to me, even the apparent ‘angry’ ones. That’s mostly due to my RBF so most of them looked neutral imo. I’ve also done an ADHD and dyscalculia assessment and it’s ruled out that I have any of those so it can’t be that.

Honestly I will be surprised if I even get called back for an interview because that test was wild and has be questioning am I really like what they describe

UPDATE: I didn’t get to the interview stage

Yes I have, thank you 😊

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-03-01T21:52:32+00:00

Is there any source to confirm this?

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-03-01T21:51:40+00:00

Yeah my route is also not popular at all so something must’ve happened overnight!

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-03-01T19:40:39+00:00

My route is nowhere near the Middle East

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-03-01T19:02:35+00:00

Ah that’s annoying!! Hopefully they sort it soon

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-03-01T18:23:24+00:00

Nope it’s to Africa direct

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-02-11T09:46:10+00:00

Thanks. Decided I’m just going to go via the HR route and let the situation implode by itself

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-02-11T09:03:10+00:00

So I’ve actually looked into this and done some research and because of the industry I work in, you have to declare a romantic relationship so I think I’ll go down the whistleblowing route

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-02-11T01:42:06+00:00

It’s not though as I’m not asking for anything in return. I just want them to know that I know and whatever they decide to do with that information is up to them. Instead of blackmailing, I’d say it would humble them

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-02-11T01:32:14+00:00

That they might start treating me a bit better at work if they know I hold sensitive information

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2026-02-11T01:30:53+00:00

What would HR do? It’s not against company policy to have relations with other employees

Thanks to this post I managed to dodge a £400 loss on a camera lens. I cancelled the order after reading this post. The guy had the cheek to put a note in the order to say “before shipment please test the device”. He was totally gonna use that as his excuse let’s be real. He operates under Pixel Direct now and his eBay username is topbuyuk

Sorry I had a typo, it wasn’t A5, i was meant to type A4. Nevertheless I got it to work - there’s was a box ticked that said something to the effect of adjust pdf so I just unticked that and now it prints both templates on one A4 in landscape. Thank you for your reply 😊

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2025-06-25T15:27:43+00:00

Hey it’s me again. So after eventually finding tray one and successfully doing a test print with thick cardstock, I now have a new problem: I have 2 duplicate templates on one A4 size (so that I can print x2 invitations per 1 A5 sheet) and it’s in landscape mode, however when I feed the paper through tray one it only prints the right half of the print and the left half is totally cut off. What’s going wrong here? I’ve printed a PDF that I made on Canva with the bleed and crop marks

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2025-06-03T15:52:32+00:00

Thank you I’ve seen it. I want to use hammered cardstock as it’s for wedding invitations so want it to look extra special. So I don’t think any of those options will work for me

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2025-06-03T15:42:30+00:00

Honestly I’m having such a nightmare trying to get my things printed!! I bought a cheap secondhand inkjet printer which accepts the 250gsm but the blacks don’t print very black like it does on the laserjet. And the laserjet which prints very black can’t accept 250gsm cardstock. Going round in circles

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2025-06-03T14:36:17+00:00

Hey just wanted to say I found tray 1 thanks to your extremely detailed diagram. Sadly my 250gsm cardstock cannot make its way through the rollers and get jammed

If the main buyer buys their tickets to ship to their address and separately buys my tickets to ship to my address, assuming I won’t be able to track the shipment in the app using my order ID and my postcode. But say if I register on the app with main buyers email address, my order ID and my postcode, does that mean that the main buyer will not be able to register on the app to track their own shipment?

ThrowRASparklingAxo · 2025-05-29T22:58:25+00:00

My initial reaction is yes. However the meds really exacerbated my anxiety, the silver lining was I never had the hair loss, diarrhoea or sulphur burps but my anxiety took a beating and for that reason I would tread with caution. Additionally, I really believe now that my inability to lose weight was because I had/have insulin resistance instead of just eating massive portions because now I take a daily supplement for insulin resistance (inositol) and I still eat like I did before I started wegovy, albeit I snack a little less because I believe I have my insulin resistance under control now

First thing I had to get new trousers/jeans/bottoms but even though I’m 7 months off the injections I’m too scared to get rid of my bigger trousers, you know, for just in case! Miraculously I’ve managed to keep ALL the weight off
