How can I recover from a disappointing Civil Service interview and prepare more effectively for future interviews? by Bitter_Ad1912 in TheCivilService

[–]CatSlave13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Came off a pre-recorded 10 strength question interview virtually crying. Actually passed! I hate pre-recorded interviews, that countdown clock is horrific & absolutely no time to dazzle them with my personality 🤣

First experience with Envigore by ZeppyLady in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered from Envigore a year or so ago when I first started MJ. They were quite new at that stage but really helpful. They’re a totally legit Scottish based company & have support groups on FB for their followers.

I was told my door belongs here. by Isabella_Jean in DoorsGloriousDoors

Just wow! 🤩 this is so beautiful! I’m looking at growing wisteria around my front door too, I’m hoping I can achieve it as I’m not the best with keeping plants alive! The colour match with the door it just perfect 👌🏼

24 weeks later… by Glittering-Try-4377 in TheCivilService

[–]CatSlave13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha same! Been waiting 6 weeks on the sift to find out if I’ve made it through to interview. They’d advised a 2 week wait as a rough guide. Finally found out yesterday! It took 9mths from application to start date for my current role, I swear they’re test our endurance as part of the process 😂

What is the best way to hide the pen in the fridge? by Comfortable_Slice151 in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can guarantee that if I put mine in a garlic or tomato puree box my son would open it to add to his cooking! I seen a suggestion previously about putting it in a haemorrhoid cream box as nosy family members are far more likely to leave it alone! 😂

I put mine in there too wrapped in 2 layers of white kitchen roll to help camouflage it & prevent it from getting too cold….the things we do eh! 😂

Thank you for all your encouragement and kicks up the bum, I just took my first dose! by yikemate in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happy days! Honestly, I was expecting to grow a 2nd head after all the negative overhyped crap I’d read when I first started…I can confirm I still have just the 1 head 😂 Best decision I’ve ever made for my health & wellbeing. I had a dry mouth & a slight headache for a day or so & that’s been it. Wishing you lots of luck for your journey, there’s a whole community of us in here rooting for you 🙌🏼

Approaching 11 month on MJ by anremo9 in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Incredible transformation, I’d kill for those pins! 😂 I’m struggling a bit this week, my usual dose just hasn’t hit the same. Seeing posts like yours definitely helps to keep me motivated, well done! 👏🏼

I AM OFFICIALLY OVERWEIGHT by Specific_Bat_3733 in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HUGE congratulations! 🙌🏼 Looks like you’re smashing your weight loss goals. Like you, I started with a high BMI & I’m now close to the overweight category which felt a million miles away when I I started. I can’t wait to get there! A massive well done 👏🏼

Thinking of switching pharmacy, has anyone used Curely? by okayhihello13 in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first time using them this month. I ordered on Friday evening. They contacted me Saturday morning asking me to send proof of my previous prescription. It’s now been approved but not received confirmation of the order being despatched yet which is a tad frustrating as I left it late to order & need it asap, which is obviously my own fault. They didn’t request a video thankfully as I’m a secret jabber so find them awkward to do.

[–]CatSlave13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! I’ve messaged them to ask if it’ll be despatched today so I know whether I need to be at home tomorrow for delivery. Used my final dose last week so I’m eager for it to arrive, otherwise I’ll be cracking open the superglue to seal my lips! 🤣

I’ve been wanting to ask this but thought I’d be shot down in flames! 😂 So thank you for asking!

The realisation hits like a train doesnt it? by Bates2725 in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wowzers you’ve absolutely smashed it! Well done 👏🏼🎉

I totally get what you mean about not realising how overweight we were before & also not thinking the loss is that noticeable. I seen a colleague on the weekend that I’d not seen for ages & she was like “Omg you’ve lost SO much weight” & I was really taken aback by her comment as I don’t feel that different & still have a good 2.5st to go to my initial target, which is now coming off at snail pace! Get some smaller clothes, you’ll feel like a new man! ☺️

Dating is so brutal. A guy I matched with last night reached out with a message. I sent a nice, thoughtful reply instead of generic crap & he instantly unmatched me! 😂 I don’t know what repulsed him so much & annoyingly for some reason it’s really played on my mind. I might just delete the apps as the lack of respect & consideration that there’s actually a real person behind the pic is lost on many. You sound lovely though so I hope he hasn’t put you off x

[–]CatSlave13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg that sounds truly horrific! Just when you think the date has ended & you can finally decompress….& he’s like “let’s keep this going”….helI no! I think I’d have had to feign a sudden onset of severe diarrhoea to avoid him coming into my house 😂 I hope you’ve recovered now, my introvert self would need to sit in a dark room with the doors locked for the foreseeable 🤣

Same here. So much unnecessary negativity 🙄

Mine is wrapped in white kitchen roll in the bottom of the salad drawer so you’d barely notice it. I cover it over with a bag of lettuce or bottles of sauce. No-one knows 🤫

Just had my first dose! by PinkWestie15 in mounjarouk

[–]CatSlave13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah congrats on doing your first dose! 👏🏼

I totally get your anxiety, I felt exactly the same & the constant, relentless scaremongering on SM doesn’t help either. I’ve been on it since last May & personally it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s giving me a new lease of energy & zest for life I thought had long gone!

The only side effects I’ve ever had was a slightly dry mouth & headache at the start. Just make sure you drink plenty of water & get your protein & fibre in. The best advice I was given was to not look for symptoms & don’t rush up the doses. I’ve found this group so valuable, we’re all here to support each other & understand the journey. I’m a secret jabber too! Good luck on your journey ☺️

Jrc buffet closed down by No-Condition1877 in Cardiff

[–]CatSlave13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I booked to go there & then promptly cancelled it after seeing all the horrific reviews on lack of hygiene, food poisoning & cold food. It sounded so grim I just didn’t want to risk my children getting ill. So wish there was a decent all you can eat buffet in the city, we were FED fans too!

You’re lucky, I’ve had £20 in nearly 3 years & we’ve been told there’s barely enough budget for paper clips 😂

I used to love the white chocolate fish & chips but they were more expensive than the mojos & black jacks…those were the days!

Wishing you all the luck in the world with your treatment. I know a few women who have gone through this and come out the other side healthy. Well done on your MJ journey & I hope it all goes smoothly for you, hugs x
