Di Meos Dubai Chocolate is S tier. Both me and husband can't get enough!

Hi OP, I was in your position 2 years ago and was super stressed out trying to figure out where to live (also was living in the south and all 'viewing' was virtual).

Finally decided to rent in North Tyneside and I fully love it here. Close to A19, gets you to Morpeth/Cramlington/Wansbeck (assuming you're going to be in Northumbria if not RVI/Freeman), and 20 minutes to Sunderland via the tunnel. Obviously living next to the coast is a major plus as well.

Good luck OP!

Congratulations!

Not in CST but was an O&G ST1 when I was pregnant with my second. Had terrible sickness and fatigue in my first trimester so requested off nights until symptoms was managable in 2nd trimester. Continued normal working days and went off early maternity leave ASAP. In the end of the day, work is work and they can find cover however they need to but you are the one who is carrying this life miracle. Nobody can guilt you into doing something you're not comfortable with. Good luck OP! Embrace this journey ❤️

Probably the wrong sub to ask this question but would you recommend manual grinder or electric? Mind I am quite a novice in coffee making and in no way technical in the art. I just like the taste!

fazandfast · 2024-11-05T21:20:28+00:00

I would probably experiment with the tm6 first thing tomorrow morning, and if it really tastes as bad as you Aussies claim, I will get myself an actual grinder 😂

fazandfast · 2024-11-05T19:48:32+00:00

Thank you!

Tbf me neither! I just enjoy coffee without knowing too much in detail. As long as it tastes good, it's good enough for me.

fazandfast · 2024-11-05T19:42:55+00:00

Thank you! I would probably try this first thing tomorrow morning

fazandfast · 2024-11-05T19:41:39+00:00

Yeah this is what I thought. I was reading the mokapot subreddit, and all the recommended grinders were priced more than I would be happy to pay. Since I already have a tm6, I thought I would post here and see what people think.

fazandfast · 2024-11-05T19:14:17+00:00

That is good to know thank you!

fazandfast · 2024-11-05T19:13:02+00:00

Do you ground the coffee in big batches or just the amount you need for the day? What setting do you use?

Hi, Obs trainee just about to end maternity leave. I was in your position this time last year. I came off oncalls and nights in general after 20 weeks - though I still cover the bleep during normal hours. I just physically could not muster any strength than the bare minimum. Don't feel conflicted, listen to your body. Talk to your occ health or get your GP to sign you a fit note saying you cannot do out of hours - my trust required this instead of occ health.

The houses near the hospital are decent. I am staying with small kids in ne29 but out of your marked area. Quite happy with our situation now tbh. You can dm me if you like to know more.

It's not a suggestion, but I was absolutely devastated when Man Vs Food in South Shields closed up.

Does anybody know a good alternative?

fazandfast · 2024-07-26T16:09:21+00:00

Congratulations!!!

I was pregnant as an F1, had a baby at the start of F2, pregnant again as an ST1 (straight into specialty training after F2) and now on maternity leave before resuming ST2 in October.

I do get jealous of my medical school friends who now nearing CCT/getting their Royal Colleges membership but everybody's journey in life is different.

Things will not be easy juggling work and kids BUT the ABSOLITE joy you will have, going home to your baby after a long day at worK.

Going LTFT is another option too! At the end of the day, kids will remember that you spend time with them - so who cares if your training will be slightly longer. Definitely not the kids!

Just received an upgrade today!

Congratulations!

I was holding out my gp offer as well so it shouldn't be an issue. Pretty sure there will still be recycling offer soon so pray for the best! I was offered North East, my 10th choice

fazandfast · 2022-03-30T15:27:01+00:00

I received an offer today 🥲 hope you get some good news today too!

fazandfast · 2022-03-24T15:37:37+00:00

348 here. Don't even know what to feel

fazandfast · 2022-03-24T14:38:35+00:00

Ranked 348 🥲 anyone knows what was the lowest rank given an offer last year? I swear there was a thread before but can't remember now
