They also often put, "Eating", and "My family"Oh, great hobby! Shall I put that in?
Another one is "Reading". When you ask what was the last book they read, they go blank.

For the first time in ages Lola haas eaten all his food - all by himself !!!!
2 bags of store salad mixes and a large helping of ribbon plantains - I'm amazed and I have run out of food for him too.
I stopped buying so much in, because he wasn't eating it and I was throwing a lot away but he has caught me out today.
I am going to have to pop to the shops and make a detour to get some more plantains.
Will try him on some vine leaves he hasn't liked them much before but he may take them now.

I think Lola has finally realised that the CDR's Dark Lord has caught up with him now! There is no escape Lola! We all know you are being troublesome now!Lola has for the first time in ages eaten all his food - all by himself !!!!

1. Do NOT repeat information that is already on your CV unless you really have to do so .
2. Your opening / topic paragraph must have a hook to ensure your whole letter is read. Praising their company to the skies and suggesting that you could be enormously beneficial to them should both be included in this.
3 Remember to always emphasize what you can do for them, not what they can do for you!
4. Then, in paragraph two, say in more detail why they can't manage without you. (don't actually say that)
5. Now, in the third paragraph you can point out what you think you can get out of this, how they'll be so great for you, you'll never want to leave.
6. Summarize the above in a closing paragraph.
7. It is now the done thing to add a P.S. focussing on your strongest asset regarding this position, which will get you an interview.
8. Remember, a Covering letter is not written to get you a job. It's purpose is to get you an interview. Getting an interview is a result here.
I can give more detail on exactly what should be included in the header if you'd like.
DO NOT !
1. Write "Dear Sir/ Madam" You must make the effort to include the actual name of the person who will be reading the letter. if you can't find this, then write only the name of the department. If possible use only the first name, eg, "Dear, Norman," if it's a smaller company, but the title and surname for a big corporation.
2. Use an e-mail address that contains anything other than your name.
3. Feel you have to use, "Yours sincerely", it's still fine but many other options are acceptable too.
4. Don't try to be funny, clever or tell jokes.
5. Don't include a photo unless it's requested. (and it mostly shouldn't be)
6 Do not include e-mails, phone numbers, etc, etc at the bottom of the page. These should all be in the header.
I've cut him some clover from his outdoor patch, some vine leaves and found a few dandies lurking in a corner.
He made a beeline for that but isn't too keen on the pieces of vine leaves.
I have grapes growing on my vine this year
- only 8 so not enough for a decent bottle of wine yet, but I was pleased to them.
Hmmmm.
Maybe I could dress as a policewoman and go and sort them out?
Or Linda, she's closer!
My neighbours are much closer than LInda but you don't need to sort her out anyway.
We get on well and she hasn't touched my shrubs

So your kids are basically running around with no pants 'cos the ferrets are in them?
No.. my son refuses to wear pants at home so the ferrets get to play in them
GET IT RIGHT
Well then, it's no wonder she didn't come and introduce herself!
She went off to go and change her uniform.
Good job there wasn't Domestos in the water,
she could have arrested me for bleach of the police!
Nowhere's perfect, sadly.
There's good and bad things in Morocco, same as everywhere else.
Even plastics on the Galapagos beaches nowNowhere's perfect, sadly.

I'm a naturalist. So's David Attenborough, Mikaela Strachan and Bill Oddie.You could become naturists - they don't have to worry about all that!
Although I don't think the wrinkle free bit would last forever!!
But we don't run around naked, it's just an urban myth.
I expect.
I've heard of Venice Beach, of course, isn't it supposed to be home to The Body Beautiful, whatever that might be?
I didn't know it was dirty, though.
And though I enjoy people watching it looks a bit too busy for me.
Looks like you had a good time, though.
Splendid!
Way to crowded for me but I did it for my son. He actually asked a year ago!
Yes, they have Muscle Beach. I didn’t get a great pic of the guys working out.

No, it's the same as black pudding, only without the blood and some oatmeal added.What is white pudding ? Brain or testicles ? Or both together ?????
Yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will disagree with this slightly. Don't use an email address that is jokey or a nickname; your actual name is better. If you have a name that is easily mispelled then do find and alternative that the HR departments are less likely to mess up.
Our surname has a more common spelling ending ETT where ours ends ATT and we have all experienced personal emails that never arrive and suspect they have been sent to the person with the ETT surname.
At work, I got round this problem by setting up an alias with the incorrect spelling (because as Network Manager I was in charge of email addresses and could do this
). JoesDad has got to know a colleague in Australia well as they forward each other emails and daughter is still tearing her hair out as her forname has at least 3 other possible spellings and her company uses forename.surname.Daughter now has a personal mail account of her full initials followed by the dialling code for our town (eg ABC01432@) which she uses successfully for all official communication after struggling with incompetent people in HR once too often!
Yup.
Sell your house.
Move to Morocco.
Never have to work again as you can live on the money from your house for the rest of your life.
