I didn't, the rspca did, apparently it's some form of anti-flea spray? It was only on their backs and it sort of made their fur crispy. All cleaned up now though. 

 

Oh, right.

 

We put something on our cat for the same purpose and she hates it. We have to put it between her shoulder blades to prevent her from cleaning it off again but I didn't know you could get a spray - I'll have to look into it.

Found out I've secured an interview for a job I really, really want ? Unfortunately I'm really terrible at selling myself, and completely hopeless at interviews ?

Has anyone dropped any prostitution jokes yet? I hope not.

 

In all seriousness the best advice I would give is that if you have an interview your skill set will match the role so make them like you. Talk about family, interests/hobbies etc and I’d go as far as creating a bit of a sales pitch about yourself from a personal and career point f view. What is it doing?

Haha I even thought of you when I wrote 'selling myself' ☺️ I just didn't know how else to put it. It's going back to what I'm best at, planning a team of people's work, but the best thing for me is that it's home based, just with the occasional meeting and overnight stay. I would basically be managing the manager's workload. I did very similar for years within the same company, but for a different team.

Take a look at the position description and requirements if it’s online and try and match up your experience and skills with that. Always works for me.

There you go then Deb, you do know how to sell yourself

I just need some of your confidence ?

Confidence isn't something we 'have' it's something we 'do'. I bet there's many, many times where you've been confident at work so just remember how it felt, what you were doing, saying and feeling and then do that at the interview. 

 

And if that don't work, just fake it til you make it'

I have considered a boob job, but I don't think I've got time so I've decided I'll just enhance the ones I've got on the day ?

Sure.

 

I always give Costock credit - there's nobody drags a thread to the gutter quite like he does (@Strokes: "Somebody hold my beer...")

Have posted this in the City v Chelsea thread also but please can anyone and everyone pass on if possible (thanks)

 

It’s a bit late for me to be posting this but just a thought about possibly having a minutes applause for a big City fan, my mate Simon who died at 48 years old at his home last night.

he used to go with me in the 80s and 90s to City games home and away as much as we could back then. Glamorous away trips to Port Vale away and Hull City away (Boothferry park) stand out as the grit and grime of following an awful City back then took a grip. 

 

Anyeay if if this can be passed on in anyway I would be grateful. Perhaps a minutes applause in the 48th minute? Just a thought as I know it is difficult but his family are devastated and something like that might just give them a moments cheer in a fashion

 

Up the City

 

genuinely gutted, will miss you Si

RIP buddy.
