@amyvincenteduk I did the same and at first it felt like I'd done it for survival and by some people I was made to feel like I'd 'failed'.
But self care is exactly what it is and I am so pleased for you! Hope you enjoy falling back in love with the job as much as I did
And this is if you are a well known Paralympian travelling to the Paralympics through our capital city.
Imagine if you were just trying to get between two northern cities!
As an able bodied person we can't even imagine how this must feel...
At 22.17 (train got in at 22.02) I decided to crawl off. Had to move all my stuff onto the platform. Member of cleaning staff offered to help. They’re not insured.
@missrogers1793 I feel exactly the same. The last 9 weeks have been the hardest of my life for varying reasons. Work is going to be a welcomed break and I always miss the routine and structure of being at work.
We are very proud the Deputy Prime Minster @AngelaRayner has been an advocate of British Sign Language (BSL) having learnt BSL. Now it’s time to ensure BSL is placed in every deaf child’s hands because the system doesn’t offer free BSL to parents of deaf children #BSLinOurHands
Hard to explain the relief to have a video of one of the most senior politicians in the country marching previously in pride in front of all the LGBT+ flags. I hope fervently it means better times for my trans family members and trans friends.
Check on your senior leaders: they're half in next year half in this.
Check on your middle leaders: who've just finished an exam series and turn to the outcomes of the next cohort.
Check on your teachers: who keep the whirlwind going day in day out.
4 weeks until summer.
@matildewarden @UoN_ITE@simmo1363 So pleased to hear you're taking some time for you! However, it does mean there are a whole group of beginning teachers who will not get the same privilege we did of being guided by one of the kindest, genuine and knowledgeable people I've met. Thank you for everything @simmo1363
@HoDandHeart @mlothianmclean @novaramedia I second this as someone who is also from this constituency! I'm so sorry this was your experience and feel ashamed that this is how you were spoken to. We are not all of this opinion, be reassured x
This week I've struggled and I cannot thank everyone enough who has picked me up and carried me through the week.
To anyone struggling, saying it out loud is often the first step to healing.
