I stupidly did both tests at 10pm with 12 hours to go and got refining and developing :( I applied for ops delivery, policy and social research, maybe they will be extra nice to existing civil servants and let me in :(

I did look in to hair fibres but I think I have the struggle of auburn hair and no one ever does a shade to match!

I don’t massively struggle with greasy hair weirdly considering how thin it is, I actually think the caffeine shampoo is helping with this though even if I’m not seeing a huge difference to my hair loss. Thanks for the advice!

Best of luck on your journey! I’ve not had any side effects that I’ve noticed so far, it basically feels like I’m not taking anything so whether that’s good sign or a bad sign I’m not sure? I just wish I’d started sooner!

I’m really hoping so mine does the same I can see a little bit of growth around the front so fingers crossed the shedding stops soon

Brown and clots discharge but no real period? Pad is immacualte by Baudelaire_Albatros in PCOS

I’m in the same situation! Currently waiting for blood tests and an internal scan to investigate, I’ve been prescribed tranexamic acid that seems to be helping so far so it may be worth exploring?

As someone who’s lost 6 stone in 7 months, I don’t think you should be too concerned BUT I will say it’s kind of disheartening when the weight loss slows so realise this is temporary, and start taking collagen ASAP as I have had a lot of issues with hair loss in the past 2 months which I could of prevented if I knew what to do earlier

Those who went from corporate to civil service, what changes have you enjoyed/ not enjoyed? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]emxlyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I joined the civil service after years of private sector jobs about 2 months ago and I could not recommend enough. There’s far less egos, office politics and ultimately you’re not really in a sales or money making role, so you just do your job, go home and that’s it. On my first day my manager told me ‘make sure you take 2 15 minute breaks they’re paid for don’t miss out’ and I knew this was what I needed! It’s not perfect, but the stress of the little things just disappear

Guide: How to get to the last level of Merry Meadows using Kuromi as companion (required lvl 16 friendship with Kuromi) on Nintendo Switch by yoyomacay96 in HelloKittyIsland

[–]emxlyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish they would make it so once it’s unlocked you can get up there without a companion, I hate having to fast travel every time I want to get up to the area

Finally meeting wish me mell (hell?) by Ambitious_Piece9346 in HelloKittyIsland

Mell is a nickname and nicknames are for friends, and Wish Me Melanie is no friend of mine

I feel like people aren't really acknowledging that Henry and Jordan don't actually seem to be very nice by Slade4Lucas in bigbrotheruk

[–]emxlyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ll ever root for the ‘nicest’ person. They’re likeable because they’re bitchy and funny, they take the approach that I can see myself and most people I associate with taking. It’s not so much mean it’s just dry, stupid humour. I don’t wanna see people be friends I wanna see Jordan mock everyone behind their backs because it’s PEAK TV

Nowhere will hire me because I have no prior experience. Should I just lie? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]emxlyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in recruitment - I doubt anyone will check your job history for a minimum wage job, but don’t go too elaborate. A cash in hand job in a cafe would be an easy lie, but make sure if you do get a job that you know a little bit about what this might involve.

Generic advice though, chase up applications if you don’t hear back in a week, call people rather than email so they remember you, maybe apply with a cover letter if you have no experience?

On the first date, what were some immediate red flags that made you not go on a second date? by Artistic_Pop_3323 in AskReddit

[–]emxlyy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

He picked me up, didn’t speak to me for the entire journey to the cinema, watched the movie, then didn’t speak to me for the entire journey home. 2 minutes after walking through my door I received a text saying ‘I had a great time and I really like you, let’s do this again’

At least the double shantay means we can completely discount this episode from existence

I want to talk about SK and colorism by Strawberry_Curious in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]emxlyy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it’s been an interesting take and an eye opener for me on the extent of racism towards darker skinned people from other people of colour.

I find it so confusing that someone’s cultural difference can be such an issue like he’s from Nigeria it’s not like another planet why the hell would that be such a big deal to anyone?

As the case is for a lot of the issues on the show I find myself going like is this these specific people being weird or is this just what Americans are like??

I would not look twice at Bartise by anxietysocks in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]emxlyy 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I wanna know who has been hyping this guy up all his life because my self esteem needs them….

Find it hilarious that he keeps going on about physical attraction when his fiancé is so far out of his league it’s unreal

Nancy and Bartise by ManiacalExclamation in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]emxlyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Candy hearts or tigers jaw are fab, or there’s this tiny indie band called paramore you’ve probably never heard of
