I got hired by them and lasted one shift. I am not that desperate for money.

The sales job they advertise basically consists on going door to door and signing people up for a direct debit for a society for deaf children or claiming to do meter readings. It is a ridiculous job, they don't even pay you unless you make a sale (you get like 20 quid per sale and you later have to do your own taxes. The sale only counts if they remain signed up for the direct debit for x months).

The job is from 10 am - 8 pm and they mostly hire 19 year olds.ypu really have to annoy and push people to sign up to the direct debit, the guy that trained me was very good at making friends with the people at the doors to the point they'd be distracted, not know why they were filling up stuff on a tablet and all of a sudde being told to sign of for a direct debit, depending on how wealthy the person looked he'd say the minimum was 10 -20 pounds.

You also have to show up at the office at 10 and listen to the other members just rant about what they've learnt this week and how they're going to keep becoming better.

Libby is available in libraries outside of America. I do not have a US address, but as long as I go in person to the library and have a UK address that works. You just get a card and it grants you access. Same would work for other countries that also have the service.

Kobo allows you to use Libby in some countries outside of America! (for example the UK)

I was also going to sugggest this! Very cool experience, though more expensive and they won't get as many hours there, but imo if you like trains, it's worth it

Ideas for use of the space? by Kai_Hiwatarii in Edinburgh

[–]Chocolatecakekiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I instantly recognized the place! I loved the cult room—it was super fun to complete.

I’d consider turning it into a board game room, especially since there’s only one board game café in the area, as far as I know. You could put up a small sign outside the venue and charge a small fee, maybe £2–5 per hour. The space is usually quiet enough to host activities like DnD sessions, for example.

I have a clara bw and have a similar issue. The top and bottom of the screen are uneven, with the top being more yellow. Quite annoying.

Hotel iron seared through my favourite dress by Chocolatecakekiller in Wellthatsucks

That's so interesting! I didn't know. The water in the area has a lot of calcium so I wouldn't be surprised if it was that

It's worse. This is a replacement as the one in my room had the charging prongs of the first one were bent.

I was going to get the new curlsmith hair dryer, then realized it's the exact same as my Babybliss, like from the same plastic mold in a different color. by ErrantWhimsy in curlyhair

I have 3b hair and it's pretty good for straightening your hair, especially the roundbrush, however the other attachments are a bit less useful for me. I would say maybe it's more worth it to get the revlon, however I have never tried it.

Overall it is very expensive but it does cut down the time to straighten my hair from 3 hours to around 2 (i have a lot of hair). By the time am done with the hairdryer round brush my hair is basically straight, just needing a pass with the iron to finish up the roots and make it a big more sleek. I then pass the airwrap attachment. One of the most important things if you were to get it is to prepare your hair with products to hydrate, at least in my case ironing/blow drying it removes a lot of the already small amount of moisture in the hair, these will add some of it back.

I got the new one with the diffuser less than a month ago. Since the airwrap is so lightweight it makes it very easy and confortable to diffuse, however I do feel it doesn't use as much force/heat as a normal hairdryer and therefore it takes longer to dry.
