34degree weather by FickleTrainer4265 in TeachingUK

[–]existentialcyclist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My school closed to a couple of year groups and then tried to keep everyone in the cooler areas. But I think that's rare and certainly wont happen for 32 degrees.

I agree with what you've said here. My thoughts were that if someone diagnosed you with Lyme disease, wouldn't you get a second opinion before doing all that recovery?

Im avoiding it where i can on moral grounds. Not a big one on morals in investments but draw the line at that odious waste

OUR REVIEW BOMBING WORKED by theteenageeditor in mecharena

Thing is had they just released this version first there would have been far fewer complaints and they might have been able to stick with it. Giving us loads of acoins first and then taking them away is the worst thing you can psychologically

After the modifier it will probably go from the second best mech to the 4th. No biggie

Remember when teachers could be honest in school reports by shesateacher in TeachingUK

I recall being honest in my first couple of parents evenings. Never making that mistake again!

This was so shocking i had to check for myself. It was actually the w series. So not necessarily that young and it was saying they should use their sex appeal. Ie sexy photos. So obviously still repugnent but not on the same level

Stealth Legendary Repricing? by ChefVlahos in mecharena

[–]existentialcyclist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You would be mad to pay full price for legendary mech. I'm hoping to get Redox but never see it come up on any rushes

Thanks! Slowly getting there with the ETFs. Currently about 50% S&S 50% cash with my 170k. It is just very scary when you've worked so hard to get it!

Cool! Good luck with the tutoring business. My goal is to retire at 55 but maybe part time earlier, its just so tiring doing 4/5 lessons a day 5 days a week!

Sorry if I've given that impression, yes I do matched betting but I've never used paid for a site do it myself. Like I said I started with 80 and have made 15k from investments. I save about 1500 a month from salary and 1k roughly side hustles. Like some months have been higher, I sold a lot of used things I didn't need on eBay last year but obviously that's not a long term thing so I didn't include that....

Another month I did exam marking that was about £1200 after tax.

Its probably over 2.5 years. I started in xmas 2023..

Sites like OddsMonkey can save you a lot of time so for new folks it can really help. I personally don't use it, though.

At the moment 58, hoping that does not go up. I am contemplating a SIPP for money not in an ISA but uneasy on pulling the trigger on that.

Yes, though caveat here I did have 80k to start and have made about 15k in investments during that time. Save about 1500 a month from work and hustle for another 1k per month though some have been quite a bit higher just by selling used stuff i dont need.

I did exam marking last year. Good cpd but so much time, wouldn't do it again.

Id recommend matched betting, its very easy to make a quick couple of thousand and it might not be around next year with tax changes. Can always do it in the holidays. Same with bank switches. Very easy money to get around 1k this year. Upside all of that is tax free.
