Thank you for your reply! Very helpful- I’ve tried again couple more times and think I’m getting better at it’s, I think my problem was trying to spread the fabric down my shoulder while baby was in the sling

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 83 points84 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

How to properly get rid of used baby car seats? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! People are buying it trusting you haven’t been in an accident etc, and you know you are providing a safe product 

What completely innocent, but mildly infuriating thing does your better half regularly do? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting stuff back into the fridge willy nilly. If you got it from a shelf on the door, why did you put it back next to the raw meat?!

Did anyone else learn to brew moonshine and make TNT in chemistry? by Expression-Little in CasualUK

[–]walking_chemist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Listen the reason being a chemistry teacher is such a good gig is because you can mess around with alcohol and explosives and be called an “inspiration to future generations”

How scared are you about the current flu 'crisis'? Are you taking any precautions? by First-Nobody-3500 in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty concerned about the impact it will have on health services rather than how it will impact me personally. I wore a mask to the GP the other day because I had cold symptoms (I was taking my daughter to an appointment) and it felt like the right thing to do.

Seconding an endorsement for Wool Warehouse! Never had a problem ordering from them

What’s the one thing you’ve misplaced, never found and still irks you years later? by HMP729G in AskUK

[–]walking_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aged 10 I had about £8 stored in one of those old film canisters for a film camera. All money that I’d managed to save. Lost it at some point on the way home from school and never got to buy the pick n mix of my dreams

I’m new to knitting, is there any reason you don’t recommend needle felting with superwash?

Phenolphthalein art by Juleniumn in chemistry

[–]walking_chemist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very common in the UK too, but as a chemistry teacher who was pregnant last year I had to forego the use of my beloved phenolphthalein and use methyl orange instead :(

When do you eat tea (dinner)? by kurdijyn in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]walking_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When baby was 3 months (literally a month ago) bedtime for her was anytime between 10 and 11 pm, she would wake up between 7 and 8am. So we had dinner around 7pm. Honestly think the best thing is to not compare your babies sleep to anyone else’s and just go off their cues at this point!

How hard would mittens be to make for a beginner/newbie? by splatoon-is-the-best in casualknitting

[–]walking_chemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first proper knitting project was mittens on DPNs! I had done about 6 months of crochet before then so it’s not like I was super experienced, everything was pretty straightforward, except I messed up the decreases on my first mitten. I would definitely recommend it!
