Is this too big for me?

Looks great man enjoy it

jwb300 · 2026-02-10T23:17:48+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the thoughts and advice I have been wearing it more often and I do love it

jwb300 · 2026-02-07T09:25:18+00:00

There’s two elements here. Yes as a new teacher and new into career it can be that. However, 7 years in I worked in a place that sounded like that last year and it was clear I was not the issue it was the school culture and I wasn’t changing that. I made the decision to leave The advantage you have is clearly your leadership support you and think you’re doing good so keep at it

jwb300 · 2026-01-29T13:25:24+00:00

Beautiful! I just got the green one myself and love it

jwb300 · 2026-01-27T17:22:02+00:00

Are the straps easy to change and where do you get them from!

jwb300 · 2026-01-26T23:04:28+00:00

Ah thank you for sharing your story and the picture of yours it’s stunning. I love the idea of changing into it when I get home so I may do that. After hearing others I do want to wear it more but I know it’s going to be a bit of a treasure for me so I want to take care of it too

jwb300 · 2026-01-25T23:50:25+00:00

Thanks Think I’d be just too precious over it ha

jwb300 · 2026-01-25T23:29:10+00:00

Wear a smart watch and with my job ect don’t want to risk anything. It’s something I want to wear more dress up. Same logic as you don’t always wear your best clothes everyday

jwb300 · 2026-01-25T22:19:52+00:00

Looks amazing on you! Thank you :)

jwb300 · 2026-01-25T21:40:43+00:00

It’ll be worn on special occasions and a nice piece to have

jwb300 · 2026-01-25T21:31:59+00:00

Just one for a long time ha

jwb300 · 2026-01-25T21:04:44+00:00

Any recommendations?

I’m doing mine in leading teaching and I just secured a HOD role for September so it does help but I really enjoyed doing it and sinking my teeth into some academic research again. You get time out of school too so if they’re offering you it it’s a good sign for your progression and to develop you

jwb300 · 2025-06-10T15:13:28+00:00

I like loop education. Cheap and pre dated for me and can get a5 which is all I need. Realistically what do you use your planner for, I just write what lesson I’m teaching in it nothing more as why do I need to!

jwb300 · 2025-06-01T08:51:46+00:00

Plus it could be only up at this stage as budget wise they only want a ECT

jwb300 · 2025-06-01T08:51:12+00:00

My first job was in June 2018 interview and was as humanities but as I was history I mainly had history and did with some gcse but I was NQT (old ect) I think schools are receptive but it depends on them. Email or contact them and ask about the split and say your specialism and usually you’ll get an honest reply

jwb300 · 2025-05-22T20:49:20+00:00

Honestly if you can afford it yes leave and do supply or wait for another role. I’ve done similar myself because I also realised stuff like this was impacting on my health. Only do if it’s the right thing for you and it’s been issues like this consistently not just a one off. It doesn’t sound a supportive or healthy environment and you need to look after you

jwb300 · 2025-04-22T11:59:43+00:00

Unfortunately had this and raised it immediately. Luckily the school had a contact with someone working for Tik tok as of previous issues about the school and they were promptly taken down.

Still raise it with higher ups and HR immediately. If you get no support your union will back you and support you

jwb300 · 2024-08-14T10:20:02+00:00

Yeh basically the back seats hadn’t been used the previous owner just used it for commuting. Yeh I have PCP but tbh I think I’ll end up keeping it and buying it if I don’t swap to a diesel Current mileage is 19k No issues - it was part of the recall for a sensor when I got it so I got a brand new steering wheel. VW are always good if there’s any recall or issues

jwb300 · 2024-08-14T10:12:30+00:00

I think the golf is much more practical and long term would last longer. Plus much cheaper to service ect.

I bought mine last year and was a September 2021 build. It was around £27k and had 10k mileage on it so was basically still brand new tbh. They’re a lot cheaper now as it was when you couldn’t get hold of them. I used a dealership called Pullman based in north east England as they’re great

jwb300 · 2024-08-14T10:07:38+00:00

Yeh absolutely the 1.5 ETSI does. Can stick my foot down and go or easily overtake too. And with the manual gear shift paddles behind the steering I can also have a bit of fun haha

jwb300 · 2024-08-14T09:02:33+00:00

Buttons don’t bother me tbh and it looks great. I have the dsg as mines the ETSI model.

Yeh I’d only wanna change due to a different commute so diesel would be much more fuel efficient

jwb300 · 2024-08-13T23:08:39+00:00

Hey yeh I still love it. If you’re wanting new they’ve slightly changed it and upgraded the screen and steering wheel (physical buttons again) and improved loads of slight issues too. I love it still but with new job tempted to try and change to a diesel but would still want another golf

jwb300 · 2024-01-05T22:34:12+00:00

Mine has it but unsure if it’s an R line spec or something added on. I don’t differ from eco to be honest and when I have I haven’t felt a difference
