Hello,

On all the many interview panels I have been on, weight has never ever been mentioned. And has never been seen as an issue. Although people have been rejected for not wearing ties, or for wearing stupid high heels. So avoid those pitfalls and you will be fine. Very good luck to you.

Thank you ALL.

Ed what an epic post.

Squirrel I am SO glad to see you.

Friday.

Good day. Viewed a house from the outside and ruled it out and we have a viewing on Weds.

Too buzzed to sleep!

Anyone have any house staging/selling tips that have worked for them?

All I can think of is remove kids and pets

There should be a holding pen we can send themto for six months...other than boarding school.

Very proud of DD2. She got a merit in her primary ballet exam.

Well done dd2. Always wanted to be a ballerina. No sense of rhythm and not the right build though!

Ballet is great for kids! I went to ballet lessons till after my A levels, at one stage I was going three times a week, for 2 - 5 hours each time. Even if you're never going to be a professional, its invaluable - every time you dip in to a new sport - roller skating, disco dancing, whatever - you can pick up the basics incredibly quickly, because of the poise and strength ballet gives. It takes you just as long to get to a high proficiency as everyone else, but there's nothing like it for giving a beginner at anything a push. And plenty of adults go back to ballet, as well

I did ballet in my 20s, having given up at six.

You are definitely right about the poise.

When selling I filled my car to the brim with kid stuff - nappies toys etc and hid it at a neighbours. I took the kids out. I was also watering a neighbours plants when they arrived and said how we all helped each other. Just coincidental maybe?

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!
