@joanne_godding Amazing!

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@Gwenelope Yep!

@MissJLud Having read the below tweets it seems we might owe her a payrise!

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@MissJLud Not identical but maybe transferrable. My mum pays a family friend £5 to walk the dog for a couple of hours.

No idea if that's the going rate but...

@adhd_ffs @AskADHD "I don't need this so I won't buy it"

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@adhd_ffs "I am on top of everything right now and everything is running on a reasonable timescale"

"No I didn't forget"

"I heard you the first time"

@HecticTeacher @lovepookiecat That's so sad for everyone; for you that your trust was broken and for the students who don't get to benefit from it anymore. No doubt thoughtless behaviour with big consequence that I entirely agree with

@PGreenlees 5 ft 7, I have the opposite problem, especially sleeves

@downtownmauve @AskADHD And give the cloudy bit a rest. If I have to do it now I try to motivate myself with a reward, that and caffeine (if you drink it), caffeine helps my brain focus and push on a bit longer but then I need a few days to recover if I've had to push through 2/2

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@downtownmauve @AskADHD I mostly try to be kind to myself, forcing through it just makes me frustrated and I make more mistakes. If I can I do a different type of task eg. something more focused, something creative etc. to engage a different part of my brain 1/?

@brassoteach Probably my clarinet but whilst I'm at a decent level, I don't think expert level would have come very easily to me. I think I reached my top level for my natural skill and personality

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@HecticTeacher It's definitely not a nice feeling *hugs*

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@HecticTeacher Haha I do as well! I'm known at work as the person with painkillers and it's 99% down to cologne 😂🙈

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@HecticTeacher There was also a good amount of kölsch and food!

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@HecticTeacher Yes that was entertaining! Although probably more for me as you were in pain

[Rachel Bailey @rachabailey]

@HecticTeacher PS. You are awesome and you are one of my teaching role models. Our time in Cologne made a big impact on me and I cherish it as a friendship I really needed after my own bad experience in schools
