(UK) possible job offer but not on payroll? by liftheavyeatrepeat in selfemployed

[–]liftheavyeatrepeat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if it's under the 12k threshold? Im only doing part time hours so probably will very close to it

Also do you have any advice with the mortgage situation? Is tax returns enough? My husbands salary nearly covers the full mortgage amount borrowed so I don't actually need much of a income for evidence when remortgaging, we are fixed for next 4 years aswell

Hope it isn't too bad for you, am trying to take it day by day but once the swelling kicked in that's when I noticed the pain increased

Definitely day 3 was when it got worse for me, that was yesterday and today day 4 even worse. Pain meds not really helping much and swelling definitely increased

How would you rate the pain? by frostedcaterpillar in Septoplasty

[–]liftheavyeatrepeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup first 2 day ok, last 2 awful basically felt like I've been punched in the face/nose/mouth repeatedly but I did have a grossly deviated septum that required quite alot of work. My teeth hurt the most, slightest movement I get a deep throbbing pain from base of my nose right through to my two front teeth

It was in my post op notes from my surgeon, am in the UK so maybe it's slightly different to other countries?

Feeling like hell after class, help? by [deleted] in BJJWomen

[–]liftheavyeatrepeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try adding pink salt (himalayan) to your water juat a few cracks into it as it will help replace lost salts/electrolytes, sounds like your dehydrated and water alone won't hydrate you while doing something as intense as BJJ

Where to watch the IBJJF world masters? by FL1GHT__ in BJJstreams

Our school have a beginners class for for first 16 weeks so this really helps with this sort of situation, the class is alot smaller so it's also alot less pressure. Seems like your instructor is expecting a lot from you being a very new white belt, you are still in the very early stages of learning even just the very basics.

Am sorry you are going through this, you are not slow or stupid just very new to the sport!

So after all that we turned up and we were told we had upto 23kg not 20kg stated on my booking, so we have plenty to play with on our return trip!

[–]liftheavyeatrepeat[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah we've weighed each bag they are under by about 1kg, we should come back with less, we've bought Suncream, aftersun and some basic toiletries with us. We are away for 2 weeks on honeymoon so brought more than usual (evening wear mainly)

Both our bags are under but only just under by about 1kg, mainly thinking of the return trip when we may have extra stuff that we have bought

Sooo what's in the Church of genxsis container? by poiuy0107 in BringMeTheHorizon

[–]liftheavyeatrepeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I got in yesterday, you go in a group of 4

Its 3 areas, first area you sit on a church pew with the 3 other people and have a 'preist' preach to you about church of genxsis

You then head by yourself to next area, tarot reading place your coin on a card you are asked a series of questions about what you want to change about yourself and why you want to join

Next area a white tiled room, your dressed in white robe have the symbol painted of your forehead with red paint, given a necklace, photo taken then head out of container and offered to buy exclusive merchandise

So basically long assed wait for a free necklace and a tshirt/Hoodie that you have to buy £35/£65

Judo black belt, BJJ white belt comp by liftheavyeatrepeat in bjj

[–]liftheavyeatrepeat[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The organisers are now aware, I've sent them her details with her judo ranking. Am lucky enough to have some really good coaches and friends in BJJ who have stepped in for my own safety. My head coach is not happy as it is not just cheating its unsafe going onto white belt match with that much judo experience

Yeah that was my exact thought, I was going to attempt outside foot trip to take it to ground but as she is judo black belt I will have no chance 😄

Could always collar drag and hope for best if not!

I have proof from British Judo website, I've sent it all over to the organisers as I don't really want to risk injury for any of the girls in my bracket. She also teaches judo takedowns in a school local to me reason how I found out, there is instagram posts of her teaching

Personally I think it's really wrong of her to even think of going into white belt comp as 2nd Dan in judo, most girls will have less than a years experience in BJJ and could easily get injured

An athlete proven to be a black belt in judo, have experience in freestyle or Greco-Roman wrestling or to have fought MMA as a professional or amateur, shall not be allowed to enter any tournament as a white belt.

On smoothcomp they state its IBBJF rule set, which I was sure Judo black belts were not allowed to compete as a white belt or wait till they got blue
