@HMRCcustomers Hi, I’m currently unable to notify HRMC of name change (marriage) due to needing to confirm my identity through Gateway account. Which I’m unable to do because my previous documents have been invalidated when I got my new passport. Please let me know what I can do.

@codenameashley Same, it’s really sad 😔 I have not so fond memories while living there. Met up with one of my childhood friends again and she said it (the treatment) hasn’t changed much

Grew up in Qatar, it’s all shiny and rich but hides terrible secrets behind closed doors. Sad to see people defending it. If you’re a woman of colour and queer, avoid this place 100%.

@rothecoder Hi, I can totally relate to this 🥲 One thing that helps me is I break it down into small chunks. I start with something I can do quickly while doing Pomodoro. I follow a lot of devs that share their works and that makes me want to code/do mine. You're not alone!

When you’re doing so much you kept forgetting to post your progress 🫠 During the past couple of weeks: ✅ I’ve had an ADHD assessment ✅ Finishing up SASS/SCSS course ✅ Redesigning a business website using Squarespace ✅ Finished my Wordpress portfolio! chrissyelwes.co.uk

@JamieMooreDev @parulsingh1995 Thanks Jamie! Definitely looking forward to that 😄 if you don’t mind me asking, did it also help your focus in terms of coding if ever you did have trouble before your diagnosis?

Finally got the courage to get an ADHD assessment last Oct. Passed the first test (didn’t even need test 2) so off I am to wait for a diagnosis. This might be life changing, we’ll see. Many thanks to @parulsingh1995 without whom I would still be in denial of my symptoms 🫠

Day30/100 #100DaysOfCode @ManchesterCodes discussed about High-level JS: Getters and setters, static methods, scope and closures. I also coded my first virtual pet using #javascript !! 🐶🥳 Refactored my code too. So far so good! #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

@randomrecruiter @DeniTechh Was on the fence specialising on just FE for now in fear of missing out opportunities as a junior. This is a relief to hear.
