Ok, words can't quite convey how pissed off I am with Office, I ordered these Converse trainers at the beginning of May for a trip I'm taking in June, last week I still hadn't heard or received anything so I emailed them last Thursday as I'm at work and can't phone them. Finally got a reply today saying that due to a "system error" my order had been cancelled and was told I could reorder them. However, they have now sold out in my size and I don't live near an Office store!!!!

So I am feeling a little desperate as I really want some shoes like the converse ones for my trip, do you where I could find something similar to these online? 

Hi :)

I have put on so much weight over this last year due to being crazy stressed with college and I'm really struggling to loose it at the moment.

I was wondering if you could suggest the best exercises or youtube video workouts etc that are perfect for all over body weight loss?

Thank you so much.

i have been poking around on etsy for a while trying to find nice business cards, made with recycled materials but everything is too whimsical for my taste (no birdcages or oldy timey phone illustrations for me plz). i'm about to give up and buy moo cards instead. but before i do could anyone suggest some etsy sellers? also - i don't want to pay $40 for 50 business cards. more like half that.

thank you!

ps. i am based in ireland so european/uk sellers would be even better!

it looks like a plain skater dress but with a full skirt and thick material?
any ideas?
TIA!

Can anyone id this dress please??

I'm going to be spending 3 days in Paris, two days at Disneyland and one day in the city, but I've never been away before, let alone been to Paris! So I'm just after some advice and tips when it comes to packing the essentials?

What would you recommend taking? And what would you take clothing-wise? I don't what to expect in terms of weather for Paris in early June. Is it similar to the UK?

I've just been prescribed with prozac but I'm in two minds as to whether to take it or not. My boyfriend is adamantly against me going on anti-depressants as he feels it will make me worse. I've been researching on the net and I'm more confused than ever. I'm worried about the side-effects, about becoming hooked, about it turning me into a zombie. I just wanted to know if anyone has taken it and what their experience of it is?

My next problem is telling uni about my depression. I'm in my first year of university, I've been struggling throughout the year to hand in coursework on time and my attendance has been less than steller but I always thought I would pull it together in time for exams, ace them and all would be well. Obviously that hasn't been the case. Trying to motivate myself to revise has been a huge challenge. I had my first exam on Monday and completely messed it up. It's like my brain just stopped functioning. I couldn't express myself at all and it was just a big disaster.

I had an exam this morning but I just couldn't do it so instead of going I finally decided to go and see a doctor which is when I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed prozac. My doctor is going to write a letter to back up an extenuating circumstances claim for me but how do I explain to my university why I didn't seek help before? I don't even know why myself. It seems pretty convenient being diagnosed with depression on the day of an exam doesn't it? My only answer to that question is that I just always thought I would snap out of it. Even after going to the doctor I'm still not fully convinced I need medication cos I always assumed that with depression you feel miserable all the time and I don't. I've booked an appointment to see a counsellor on friday so I can start sorting through my issues but I just don't know how to go about telling my tutor about my problems. I'm worried they'll just think it's an excuse and kick me out.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the market for a good waterproof mascara. I'm off on holiday on Saturday and the last thing I want to happen (well not completely the last) is to come out of the pool/sea looking like a panda. Also one that won't be such a pain when I actually want to take it off to.

What do you recommend?

Thank youu :)

Anyone know where I can get jeans like either of these that don't break the bank? Like def less than £50. Thank you!

  

We are getting a cat for the first time, anyone have any idea which company or who to go to for good pet insurance, not too expensive?

Is there anyone who can send me a pinterest invite please? :)

hair extension help needed!

i've always had straight human hair clip ins, but i curl them 99% of the time, which never really bothered me because i only wore them at weekends. but i'm spending the summer abroad this year working in a bar and the thought of curling them every night isn't a good one.

so i'm thinking of investing in some curly ones so i can wear it either way instead of having to wash/straighten/curl all the time. can anyone recommend anywhere/brands of curly hair to buy? i don't mind the cost, you get what you pay for and i'm normally a headkandy girl, but they don't seem to sell curly extensions.

are they worth having or do they just look crappy/fake?  i hope i'm not going to have to curl them every night but i really hate that shiny synthetic curl look that some of the extensions have :(

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I couldn't think of anywhere else! I'm graduating this summer and have just made it onto a reserve pool for a job in Bristol, with the prospect of them probably offering me a job within the next few weeks. I have only been to Bristol once - for the interview. I only know one person there and he's a student so I'm a bit out of my depth with the potential move. I'd love any advice/stories about living in/moving to Bristol. I will need to look for a flatshare or somewhere looking for a lodger. The job is out in Filton though and I can't drive, although I've been told the transport links are good to that area from the city centre if needs be. Thing is, I don't know if that's the best way to do it or anything at all really! All help more than welcome!

Thanks!

I have an interview for PGDE Secondary English at Strathclyde Uni in two weeks and was wondering if anyone has any tips or general advice about what will be asked in the interview and, particularly, what kind of things people do their presentations on?

Thanks! :)
