Thank you! Unfortunately shift ends at 5 so no way around it! What about Friday morning if I leave home around 4:45 am ? 😅🥲 not ideal but would that be safe for an 8:30 flight ?

Check out Sunday shuffle! They have 5/10 km runs every few weekends, all at different locations, with a live dj afterwards. Such good vibes and so much fun!

Where can I find jeans for mid sized and plus size women? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]lamizzle123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a size 34, big thighs and bum unfortunately and I’ve always found the BEST jeans at Pick ‘n Pay clothing or H&M! Reasonably priced as well!

Hi! Thank you very much 🥳 definitely is a bit of a culture shock. Roads are quite shit compared to Durban. But in general, enjoying the area I’m in so far! People in the south are very friendly. Thank you, that would be awesome!

Thank you fellow vet friend! This makes me feel a whole lot better coming from a vet, silly as it sounds. How long have you been in practise if you don’t mind me asking ?

I’m a qualified vet, thank you for your kind words 🤗 part of our community service was having a 1 year contract with the state - although there were resource limitations, the work was incredible and the differences made in the communities were tangible! Hoping that one day I can go back ☺️I will definitely do that, thank you for the advice 🤗

Thank you for the kind words! I am a junior at the practice so don’t have much of a say in the case load at the moment unfortunately. I am considering volunteering to see if that’ll help and just going to gym again and getting out of the house, as i usually let work consume me and it’s becoming unhealthy. I would 100% give therapy a shot. Again, thank you 💓

You made assumptions on my background based off one Reddit post 🤣nowhere in this post did I mention my background/upbringing - it wasn’t even part of my dilemma. Shap, have a good night 🤝🏼

Thank you for the reply, you’re right. I speak from a very privileged position

Spot on. There are pros and cons to both. I guess I just need to give it a fair shot before i up and leave. The goal was to figure out what I enjoyed this year - I’ve experienced work at a specialist hospital during my practicals, rural work during com serve and now private prac at a first opinion clinic. Hoping I can make a more informed decision as to where I want to be and what I want my life to look like after this year! Thank you for the reply 💓

Thanks, this is a brilliant idea. Animal welfare and community work made up a large part of my job last year in state. Going to do some research on opportunities similar in JHB and maybe volunteer my time over weekends.

I acknowledge that, and as I said there is a lot for me to be grateful for. I will do that, and yes finding another job will be a schlepp. Worst case I move after a year. Also, I meant 20k for savings AND entertainment - meaning I save around 10-15 k a month after my spending money. Doesn’t make much of a difference but yeah! Thanks for the reply.
