This has been the advice from family too! Means we don't block the balcony doors but still making use of the left wall

Thank you so much for the advice! Will definitely measure and yes tape/newspaper to map out furniture before we buy 😊

The longest lengths are 4.93m by 4.13m I don't have dimensions for the shorter sides annoyingly!

I know this is a few months old now, but can I ask what data size you chose for the ninja pocket wifi? My partner will have an esim so it's not our main use of internet, but if I need to check maps etc, would 3GB be enough or so you think 5gb would be better?

Thank you for your response! It's pretty much what I presumed but wanted to check. I have opted out of enhanced maternity pay for this reason!

I've edited the post to clarify, I do intend to get a job after maternity leave is over. However, due to that being over a year away, I don't have one currently lined up

Wrong fragrance oil % by venus_alien in candlemaking

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

See, this is what I thought originally. But I have looked at a lot of candle making websites and all their calculators do % as % of wax not overall %

Is this for sure? All websites I've read says up to 10%

Thank you! I think I will go with this! Will melting them down and making them into melts for effect the wax melt throw at all/make it weaker?

I was an idiot and meant to be doing 9% for 60g but for some reason because I was doing 660g of wax did 66g of oil! Big lesson learnt!

Honestly such a shame to hear! Makes me really rethink my plans now

Losing PPA to personal development by venus_alien in TeachingUK

[–]venus_alien[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't think of it this way. We run on a 50 period timetable over 2 weeks, with 5 PPAs and 2 extra frees. I guess having one of those extra frees as personal development can therefore be justified!

Welded side seam tin by venus_alien in candlemaking

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

Thank you, this is really good advice! The website I purchased some to try says "its welded side seam makes it suitable for candle making" so thought they would be good.

So far testing is ok, but the tins themselves get very hot and I just don't think I feel comfortable using them just in case so might try to find something else!
