@WestJetNews @WestJet Decided to drive from YXE to YYC rather than fly just incase that flight was cancelled, meaning I would miss my connection from YYC to LHR. When I phoned WestJet I was forced to cancel the whole flight and repurchase the same flight from YYC to LHR. I paid twice to get home!

@TPScheme This happened to me, I contacted my previous employer and they said due to GDPR they cannot get access to the payroll information because it has been 11 years. Their advice was to call HMRC, who have said they cannot help.

@CStewart_CS Such an honest account. My mum started keeping a journal when she noticed my dad’s memory start to decline over ten years ago. It’s been a very tough journey for my family, in particular my mum. My dad no longer remembers who I am but I take comfort in him knowing who my mum is.

@PaulCline_psy @mikehobbiss I teach Neurotransmitters and Schizophrenia/Depression and even the results from Carlson’s Review (Clinical Psychology) in a very similar way. Game changer in how much more confident students feel in their understanding of the topic.

@CHopeResources @rebeccapsych101 @PaulCline_psy @Mr_LukeHarrison @_whatamymade @abbeykpsych @mikehobbiss @Findlotte It probably depends on the exam board too. I just find with PEEL students just say the obvious for example, therefore it supports the theory rather than explaining how it does.

[Garnette Watts @GarnetteWatts]

@CHopeResources @PaulCline_psy @Mr_LukeHarrison @_whatamymade @rebeccapsych101 @abbeykpsych @mikehobbiss @Findlotte I have moved away from PEEL too, I feel that it’s too reductionist, it does not capture the layers of evaluation required. Instead I use question prompts to break it down to get the studnets to think about how the study supports the A01 and the implication of this.

@AkhtarLisa Not going to lie term time is very busy and at times I do feel mum guilt. I try to keep evenings work free but normally I have some work to do over the weekend. However, I make up for it during the holidays!

@BenyohaiPhysics @betterworldbook @BWBooks Perfect, thank you!

[Garnette Watts @GarnetteWatts]

@Devin_Heroux @Saskatooning I have lived in the UK now for 20 years and I thought last week when it reached -5 was cold.🤣 I am not sure if I could cope with -40 weather again. But it sure looks pretty!
