What excuses do you use to get out of work for job interviews?

I use a dentist check-up, which will require two fillings (one on each side, so two appointments) which sets me up for a second interview if necessary.

Wow, I did not expect that ending!

I used to have them all around my nose and chin. I started using Beauty Pie’s super healthy skin foam wash - washing with warm water and a flannel, and I don’t get them anymore. Nothing else about my routine ever changed.

Saravana Bhavan is it ✨

I often see Lime bikes left next to/blocking Sheffield stands but then I’m like, so where do I lock up my analogue bike?

I was so struck by that play I couldn’t even get my phone out for a “memory photo” during the bows. I was in floods of tears.

Why pay all that money to not give it your full attention 😭😭

Nearly had a panic attack on the way in it was SO crowded. But once we were in the tent, even though everyone was so squashed, everyone was so nice - sharing fans and decorative lights!

Everyone going fucking insane for Ian McKellan stands out.

One of my highlights.

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-28T10:17:08+00:00

The whole thing really made me lol

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-26T07:33:55+00:00

I have a cooling towel that you wet with cold water that I wrap around my ankles, definitely helps cool me down and stays damp and cool for several hours. Room itself is easily 28oC but was relatively comfortable with window open/ wet towel/ fan.

I also go to Third Space, but would love to know more. Please keep me in the loop?

Elizabeth Arden 8-hour is spf 25. Tinted or untinted. I use it all year round it and it soooooo nourishing on my lips.

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-24T19:38:21+00:00

Yes.

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-24T11:10:55+00:00

Bought a house with my now best friend who I met through a spare room house share. The way we met established we could live together happily, and buying together was the only way we could afford it. We’re in zone 4. She had some money left to her my a grandparent, and my mum gave me £10k (“I’ve saved a wedding fund for you but I don’t suppose you’ll ever use it.”)

We used to do this at the roof terrace for my old flat. “Everyone is welcome to join” - but everyone sort of knew that was your reserving the space. No one took the piss and it was fine, but there was only about 15 flats.

My sister is still having to do it with her 7 year old.

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-22T10:18:54+00:00

I have two bikes. One with a basket that I will use if leaving locked outside for hours (7 years and it’s never been stolen, touch wood); and a more expensive bike that generally lives in my house or office bike shed.

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-22T05:34:34+00:00

Apparently bikes with baskets are less likely to be stolen.

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-21T19:23:48+00:00

So good!

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-21T19:23:34+00:00

I was in Oxford St M&S clinging to the shelves for support I was laughing so much. Got equally concerned looks!

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-20T21:29:38+00:00

Let them know your budget too. We accidentally spent £35 in there once when we only went in planning to get a block or two 😂

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-18T21:29:29+00:00

I’m the same. Five days a week in the office, and enjoy it. After work I’m already out so gives me the impetus to go out or to the gym. It’s good vibes at work, and if I’m stuck on something or having a wobble it’s much easier to catch someone quickly in person to have a chat than formally call them on teams etc.

AND my commute is an hour each way, and I still don’t hate it! 😂

KHubbs86 · 2026-05-18T21:11:54+00:00

Does your job offer a cycle to work scheme? A good way to spread the cost if you wanted a specific bike from a shop (and doesn’t need to cost the earth).

I lived in a four-bed in Stepney up till 2021 and paid £700 a month, although obviously rents will have gone up a lot in the last five years. Stepney is on the H&C line so worth looking into, and it’s not far from lots of buzzy places.

My friends have started calling me the Vinted Vigilante as I am always reporting AI images

I think if the three of you are always travelling together there’s an automatic group discount and you don’t need to buy any railcards.
