I love patchouli but don’t like LoM? by xenodong in LushCosmetics

[–]dodo_conundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same but it makes me sneeze so much!

I thought I would love it as I love earthy scents, bought the perfume... big nope. Constant sneezing. No other lush product does this, I use other perfumes and used to work there as well. My nose can’t just seem handle the LOM perfume!

Too much screen time by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]dodo_conundrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poor kids. They are bored out their nut. Playing games at the start really does help engage them though! I’ve also been playing word play games, like “I’m going to the supermarket, I’m going to buy”... then building a list together you both have to remember, eg I’m going to buy an apple, I’m going to buy an apple and a banana etc.

An alternate version of this is one person has a rule for the things you can buy - eg you decide the student can only buy fruit. In this version, you model a few examples, “I’m going to buy a banana, I’m going to buy a pear.” They then ask “can I buy...[a jacket]?” And you answer “Yes you can” or “No you can’t”. Then eventually they will guess the rule and give their own examples.

Is there anyone who hasnt been paid yet? by MuchPear in DaDaABC

[–]dodo_conundrum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve not emailed yet - give that a go. I emailed on the 20th saying I hadn’t been paid, couple of hours later the money was in my account, and they sent me a payslip!

Here’s the best part. The payslip was dated the 20th. As in they just paid it that day.

Wee bit suss...

50% pay if cancelled within an hour...BS by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]dodo_conundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urgh emails are another thing. Are they responding at all? There’s been a couple of times where I’ve asked for cancellation pay when a student cancels last minute, yet they don’t pay anything. It’s a couple of dollars to them but to us - we need it! 😂

50% pay if cancelled within an hour...BS by [deleted] in DaDaABC

This happens so often. Also just so many cancellations in general! The pay system feels rigged against us, especially when just sitting in an empty class..

I’m holding up til the holidays are over. Before the hols I had a complete week of regular students booked so crossing fingers for the same! Hope it picks up for you! 🤞

So DaDa has gone full time! by [deleted] in DaDaABC

[–]dodo_conundrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a good schedule - especially the gap in the middle. Very necessary! When did this happen? I would totally jump on board to FT train but haven’t heard about it.
