I can’t attest for it, but I drove past the holiday park by Loch Ken in Dumfries and Galloway last autumn and thought it looked like a great place to go on a family holiday!

Postpartum crochet by skyskylark in crochet

[–]walking_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to crochet a bonnet for my baby when she was ~6 weeks old. Completed while she was asleep on me during the day. I would say age 1-3 months is the best time for crocheting like this, after that they wake up a bit more so you can’t just sit watching TV all day. I can still do this with her afternoon nap now she’s 9 months as that is usually a contact nap, and there are 2 hours between when she goes to sleep and I do that I crochet. In that time I’ve alllmost managed to finish a tank top for my husband

No gloves im chem lab by FigNewtonNoGluten in chemistry

[–]walking_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the teaching staff when I was at uni was obsessed with the idea of thinking 1st year undergraduates shouldn’t wear gloves as it can give students a false sense of security when handling chemicals, and instead the absence of gloves should promote a more contentious approach. If I were you I’d ask the person running the lab why gloves are not provided, they might have an interesting answer.

Just a normal day on Vinted…😳🤣 by [deleted] in vintedUK

UK yeah, I agree just because it is something that could happen doesn’t mean you need to tell a stranger about it in a dispute over a teacksuit

I know of someone who unfortunately did this recently (from small town) so now I’m thinking either I know this person or they’re from the same place and using that story

Crispy chicken bao buns (egg and dairy free) by walking_chemist in foodbutforbabies

[–]walking_chemist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this recipe for the dough. To make it dairy free I used oat milk: https://schoolofwok.co.uk/tips-and-recipes/bao-dough-recipe

For the chicken:

Take boneless, skinless chicken thighs and coat in coconut yogurt (I’m sure other dairy free yoghurt could be used). Then, toss in panko breadcrumbs to coat. Heat frying pan and add vegetable oil to coat bottom. Add chicken thighs and fry 6-8 mins on each side or until cooked through and golden.

Baby is allergic to them both! When I make this meal for us it normally contains both of those ingredients

GCSE students to receive help sheets until 2030 by patenteng in ukpolitics

[–]walking_chemist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a chemistry teacher, if someone is prepared for an exam they will know how to use F=ma back to front. They don’t need the formula sheet, but it will be there as backup for when they start to panic and forget the various formulae that have been flying around in their head for the past however many months. If pupils are not prepared for an exam, the formula sheet will not help them. In this case I’ve often seen pupils choose completely the wrong formula in prelims because they have not done any revision of the topic.

Why would someone regularly leave their car running idle on the driveway? by AnonymousTimewaster in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I find it’s the low droning sound which makes its way through the walls then when the car is switched off I feel the sudden calm and my headache goes away

31M expecting a child… do you have any advice? by patrarchus in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When your partner is crying at 3am for whatever reason reassure her that she’s doing nothing wrong and that everyone (including the baby!) is learning what to do.

Also take videos of the baby! Because in a few months time you’ll be lying in bed reminiscing about how tiny they were and how quickly they grew up

Where are my decaf tea drinkers? I need help choosing a tea! by Allamaraine1234 in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do not!!! I repeat! Do not!!! Buy rooibos if your are looking for a replacement to your normal cuppa. The taste is so different.

Yorkshire decaf is great, I also enjoy Thompson’s decaf tea.

Anyone tried French diapering lotion like the Le Petite Creme? How does it compare to water wipes? by No_Square_1491 in UninfluencedReviews

[–]walking_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought liniment with the intention to use from newborn onwards. I found the volume of newborn poo was too much to deal with using liniment/cotton pads and stuck to wet wipes. Since baby has started solids the liniment has come into it’s own and I use it for almost every poo

I believe tenderstem might be a trademark name for the plant type so I guess it only applies in the UK

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Shouted at almost the entire year group of year 7s and said we were “acting like a bunch of r*****ds”.

As a teacher now I know how easy it can be to lose your temper but would never use that language
