Oh my god! Help!

I got called yesterday lunch time for an interview this morning.

I own 1 shirt at the moment (others had got old and tatty so chucked them) and had worn it on Tuesday so I chucked it in the wash quickly and hung it out to dry, grabbed it back in at about 530pm.....just gone to iron it this morning and there is bird poop on it!!!

I have a smart red top from Next which looks smart/casual with black trousers, could I get away with it?

    Really depends on the type of interview.

    What is the job role?

    Is there no way it will just sponge off?

    Don't panic! If you prefer to wear the shirt, wash/sponge the area with bird poo on it then iron it dry. Although, Next top sounds fine to me!

    Get yourself off to your local charity shops later, you can often pick up really decent, smart shirts etc for a couple of quid.

    It is an admin role.

    Tried to sponge it off but it has left a big yellow mark in an obvious place I think it was an eagle or something and not sure how I missed it yesterday :eek:

    An admin role won't expect you to be suited and booted so to speak unless it is 20k pay bracket type role.

    Wear the top and don't worry about it as it may stop you coming across as well.

    Best of luck, hope you get it x :)

    OP, you're not online now, so probably on your way to your interview. I know it is too late, but the Next top sounds fine.

    Good luck and let us know how you get on x
  • As long as you look neat and tidy it's all good in my experience.

    Good Luck :D

    Didn't see this till now. You could have just washed it iand if not tumble dryer roll the shirt in a clean towel and stand on it, hang it up in a warm room and when 90% dry you could have ironed it

    What happened? Did you go?
