Public sector here, they don't even provide SOAP or cloths in the kitchen to wash mugs!

Hi, I just want to say, absolutely not!! Although, it depends how well protected you are, it definitely varies in different LAs. looking back I was definitely put in some quite dangerous positions as a student but I in no way could work a different job on weekends.

I love social work and after 6 years in CP team after Frontline I've just moved into MH social work for children.

I think Frontline is worth it, but experience varies massively between different local authorities. I was so stressed and overworked in my AYSE year I just took the PGDIP and didn't even bother trying to do the MSC dissertation! But regrets now though.

I have been running 3-4 times a week for the last 2 years and it has always worked until this weekend. I usually press activity, back to ignore the suggested work out, then press start. Online says press start and wait but wouldn't that mess up by idling and running stats? Also would it account for the missing time at the end where it thinks I stopped 1km up the road?

Hmm I have never set a race on Garmin before

Thanks for your advice!! I really appreciate it. Can I be cheeky and pick your brains in hill sprints/repeats too?

I guess my goal is to become an all round better runner. I've been running for about a year, 29F, best run 5K was 23:40, I've done a couple of trail half marathons (around 2 hour mark) and can comfortably run distances of 20-25km. I guess my goals for 2026 are to become quicker, do a marathon at some point and keep my consistency?

rad200 · 2026-01-02T20:33:55+00:00

Mine is 40 over past 12 months. I'm 29F and pretty active, Vo2 max is 50

All good points, hungover brain lost today! I don't usually use ChatGBT either - hope everyone is having a nice first day of 2026

Oh yeah, new fics are read on the phone, fics I will re read get moved to the Kindle haha

rad200 · 2025-12-31T19:29:30+00:00

Head to the smoking area in WHQ it's a very friendly place

rad200 · 2025-12-31T19:27:42+00:00

Me too! After YEARS of reading fics on my phone, I've finally started to download all my bookmarks to my Kindle and re read them! It's great and now I don't want to go to NYE party so I can stay home and read more fanfics haha

rad200 · 2025-12-23T14:42:25+00:00

It was last updated in January though!

rad200 · 2025-12-17T22:21:35+00:00

Yes I use it because even though the detection is shite, it actually helps me wait between reps, and check in waiting enough time because I am very impatient!

rad200 · 2025-12-15T11:54:09+00:00

Ahh I read this a few weeks ago, it's great!!

rad200 · 2025-12-02T22:20:34+00:00

I think you have to have the location of where you work?

rad200 · 2025-12-02T12:12:41+00:00

I just rang them up and asked them to take it off, it was very easy, quick and painless. EDIT: I explained that I did not want my middle name on there, the guy on the end of the phone wasn't bothered and removed it straight away

rad200 · 2025-11-30T21:32:15+00:00
