What do people buy their kids teachers at the end of term? I’m stuck for ideas and don’t want to buy tat that isn’t wanted!
I bought Costa vouchers last year which were very well received (this was the only year they didn't have a zillion T.A's though so made it affordable!). This year I'm thinking nice notebook + hand gel maybe, something like that.

Travel mugs! Could see through the window to the staff room, and I was always pleased to see them on the draining board actually being used!
 
Ridiculous but are all the school

we do a whip round - do you have a WhatsApp group with the other parents? Best way to avoid them getting a hundred mugs!

For the past 2/3 weeks, I have been experiencing daily nausea. From the moment I wake up, until bed time. I vomited an entire day two weeks ago and thought it was good poisining but I don’t think this is the case given how long it’s lasted. I thought it was PMS related but I had my period last week, it’s now ruled out.

I can barely eat because of how nauseous I’ve been. My appetite has severely decreased as well but I’m putting this down on the nausea.

The doctor gave me a prescription to use 5 days, it helped a bit but the moment the prescription ended, the nausea came back instantly.

I have blood tests to do, but I’m honestly exhausted. I was at work today and had to rush to the bathroom multiple times because I felt so unwell.

Has anyone ever experienced this?

I had food poisoning once (shop bought chicken sandwich), and was miserable for weeks afterwards - horrid nausea and unable to keep food down. In the end I went to see my GP, and once I'd had a course of antibiotics I soon recovered. Turned me into a vegetarian a bit quick.

Oh boy. Chicken is hard to deal with.

I’m a vegetarian too and don’t consume any dairy either. I’d probably have to go back to the doctor because whatever medicine I got which was prescription only clearly didn’t work.

This might sound stupid but why not try over the counter tablet for travel sickness? It might help until you get a diagnosis

I felt weak for 2-3 weeks after food poisoning, it was both ends for 2 days then nausea and unable to eat, feeling faint.

Is there any way you could be pregnant though and the period was implantation? Have you changed anything in your diet/supplements/toothpaste etc that you could be intolerant to?

Oh wow. Yeah, I always thought food poisoning would go away after a week or so.

No, there’s 100% no chance I could be pregnant. My diet & toothpaste have remained pretty much the same. I really can’t think of anything that I’ve changed in the last few weeks.

I’ll give it a try. Maybe it will work better than the prescription tablets.

I have experienced phases of inexplicable nausea in my life and the thing that worked for me was motilium, for pregnancy sickness; keeping my blood sugar stable with lots of protein (eggs for me) and taking b vitamins helped. I know that nausea in pregnancy has been shown to worsen with anxiety and stress, so it’s possible your stress from this could prolong the problem as rubbish as that is. I do sympathise. I’m waking nauseous at the moment through stress and gagging cleaning my teeth… the same way I did when I had to quit uni but I’m also having it in the evening with sneezing and running nose so god knows what this is.

Could be an ear infection or vertigo...both can cause nausea
blood tests will show if it's an infection ( raised white cell count or inflammatory markers )

HR has been included in a probation review meeting - which is also several months late but I think that’s more down to the company being disorganised

Slightly concerned, should I be? Apparently it’s not usual

There has been some small tensions between me and the team but they have been mostly sorted and I even got promoted during the time period so I’m a bit confused

Might be nothing but always take a representative into a meeting with you, never go them alone, if your with a union you can ask your union about it, if not then you should be able to find one in your company that can be there, all company's should be offering a non bias representative for meetings

I’m literally livid right now.

I had previously posted about my fear of getting my tooth roots removed after two teeth had fallen out and abscesses grew. This fear due to previously incompetent orthodontists/dentists I had work done with before.

So, despite my fears, I went to get the procedure done by this dentist who supposedly is highly skilled and has 20+ years experience. At the end of the procedure, he tells me there’s a tiny part of the root he was not able to remove on one side because the root is too anchored in the bone and it would be risky to remove it.

Given I had to proceed with implants, I asked if this could lead to possible infections if the implant is put in with the remaining root. His answer was: ‘I obviously would have preferred to remove the entire root. I would have to drill the implant out instead of in’.

I mean this is a non-answer to me. It also raises the question as to whether he didn’t perform the procedure correctly. I know the root issue could be due to the fact the tooth feel out almost ten years ago. He told me that the roots were really badly decaying in my mouth.

I’m honestly very concerned now. I can’t see how we can go through with an implant if there’s 5% of the root left in there.

What a mess. I thought I’d fix one issue and ended with another one.

I think you should have the whole thing removed before getting an implant, at least my dentist told me that. I had a root canal years ago which wasn't done completely because the root bends slightly so extremely hard to fill it fully. I now have an infection starting in there so will have to get the whole tooth removed. It sounds weird getting an expensive implant when you might need to get rid of it if infection happens

Thanks.

A root canal is slightly different, but I get your point. I don’t want to put an implant and wind up having to remove it because of this.

That’s my thought as well but he said that removing the residual root could affect the bone structure. He removed 95% but couldn’t get to the remaining part. I will need to go to another dentist and get another opinion. I don’t agree with putting in an implant when a tiny portion of the root is still there.

If it is somewhere not obvious if you don't have a tooth, then I would leave well enough alone and not bother getting the implant. Get a second opinion if you'd like but he's probably telling you the truth about your bone structure. And what would happen if some dentist goes "yeah, I can take it out" And then you start having issues with your jaw because the bone has been compromised.

Yeah, you’re right. I think he’s telling the truth. I’ve had braces before and have a slight overbite, so bone structure and strength is always a concern. I’m in two minds because on one hand I appreciate he’s not taking any risks and is being careful / transparent, one the other hand, I’m concerned about what’s going to happen with this fragment. He seems to be very skilled / knowledgeable to be fair. He explained everything in detail.

Maybe if I hadn’t left it years after the tooth fell out, the roots would have been in a better position to be removed.

It’s unfortunately in a visible area (first molar after the canine), so I need to find a solution. I have an appointment with him in the next few weeks, so I will discuss this in more details.
