Teacher appreciation.

This is my first teachers appreciation week.

My daughter goes part time so I brought something on the days she went.

Monday — homemade cookies
Wednesday — mini sodas
Friday — something thoughtful (had my daughter draw something and I put a drink, snack my daughter picked and a tea candle.

I see a lot of fancy things online but I’m sitting here like gosh this was a lot and also gosh this wasn’t good enough.

I don’t think we do that here in the UK but that seems like more than enough to me especially if it’s a whole week and they have 10s of students! Each teacher must be absolutely overwhelmed with items so I feel like consumables are great

I was a preschool teacher and anything we get is great! It can be really overwhelming sometimes and knowing the parents took time out of their day to think about us at all is enough!

That’s so sweet! Even little things make their day. One of my favourites was when one of our little girls brought us a bunch of sunflowers she had picked from her grandma’s garden. I’m super allergic but it still made me so happy every times is saw them even though my watery eyes 😂

Former daycare here! Consumables and a meaningful card were always my favorite. I still have many of the thank you notes and cards even now ❤️

Maternity pay

I work for the civil service so will be getting 6 months full pay, then 3 months Stat pay which then drops to unpaid. Can you claim stat pay/maternity allowance when it goes to unpaid or are you not entitled to anything?
Thank you

Looking for a bestie!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a best friend, long distance or not, just someone to text and call and have a bond with! It's so hard making friends with a strong connection nowadays. I'm 21 and my son is 2!! I'm about to marry my best friend who is in the military. I like reading, binging TV shows, baking, embroidery, sims 4 and thrifting! Feel free to msg me!

Girls be honest

Is it normal to find other individuals attractive when in a long term relationship? Do you consider this as a betrayal? Please comment.

Idea

I would love A pen pal that maybe we could swap info and send each other a package of goodies

Thoughts?

Sent a message to my work lunch buddy who’s now left the company for another job and her response was, “Sorry, who’s this?”

PS: We’ve always messaged each other on our phones.

Statutory Maternity Pay

Just wanting some advice. I’m looking at my maternity pay from work… and I will only get SMP. I started here on 1 December, my probation is 1 June and I’ll be making my employer aware of my pregnancy after my probation as I’m not due till December.

I’m just wondering has anyone received SMP and how have things been? I’m stressing about it, but I am extremely lucky as my partner does earn more and his income can cover our bills.

I’m also probably going to be looking at changing jobs, because I’ll be honest… the company doesnt really care about the employees. Can I do this whilst on Maternity Leave?

Apologies for the long post, but I’m stressing and spiralling a little
