    Right, I have had a look in my wardrobe and the only thing I can find remotely suitable for an interview is some plain black dress trousers and a nice blouse (I havent got a decent suit) I dont have a nice dress jacket either.

    I suppose if you hate going shopping for clothes it catches you out one day when you need something nice. Usually wear trousers and jumper/blouse for work but everything looks a bit old. I need about £1000 to spend on clothes to get me sorted :rotfl:

    Only thing with nice blouse is it shows off a bit of clevage, now then the interview panel is 1 woman and 2 men, do I go for the wonderbra or not?:D

    GOD I HAVE NO CLOTHES!!!! Or shall I say to hell with it and get the credit card out?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Is is just me though or are charity shops getting a bit on the expensive side? I noticed recently the prices are creeping up in some of them. I saw a ladies pair of jeans for £6.50, now I am all for charaties but for a second hand pair of jeans I thought that was a bit steep. They werent designer ones or anything, I think they were BHS.

    OK maybe £500 on clothes then:D , only thing is it would take me a year to spend even that as I hate clothes shopping. If something doesnt fit me or look right I get a stress on in the changing rooms and end up buying nothing because I cant be bothered finding anything else on the rails.

    Is there something wrong with me:rotfl: Now HMV, I could spend a fortnight in there.:rolleyes:
