Dealing with the after effects of a funeral and preparing for an interview

 Hi everyone, its been a while since I last posted, 


I thought I would come on and discuss about the after affects of going to a funeral as im going through that at the current time. So I attended a funeral the 8th February for a lady who went to my church, she was a lovely friend of mine and well loved throughout. 

From my personal experience, I came out the funeral and I found myself getting a little bit emotional and it was a feeling I've never felt before, grieving the loss of a close friend. 

It was hard coming out of a lovely service and It was a little bit overwhelming, it was lovely making conversation with the family of the person who had passed. I appreciate that it can be hard for people to make conversation straight after a funeral service, especially at a crematorium.  

I think for me, the part that hits me the most is when the funeral director put the flowers down outside after the service had finished 

But now the after effects come... 

As I headed home on the bus, I started feeling fairly sad, I didn't want to do a great deal as I was going home but thanks to my support group better together who are a mental health (18+) support group and Greavsey's Tuck shop, the safe space I have some amazing techniques to help me control how I feel. 

When you're grieving the loss of a loved one, i would suggest that you have someone who you can open up to. It's okay to not be okay, its okay to let out how you feel, and even i'm struggling with that, even I admit that. and i'm asking for help and support from the 2 groups that im part of and I really recommend that if you're struggling, please do reach out for support as there is lots of support out there for you 


Now for the exciting section!!!!

Preparing for a job interview

Well hellooo there!!! you've got through to interview stage!!!! congratulations!!!

Time to prepare for going to a interview!! so what does that mean and what does that involve??

You are taking your next step towards your future career! so it involves a lot of preparation 

What to wear: normally smart depending on what company you're going for 

what to take: right to work documents, water, pen, any notes you've made for the interviews. cv if you feel like you need to take it with you

Where to go: location of interview

What time is your interview: make sure you're not late! 

Have you got any right to work documents (passport home office letter etc) 

So how do we go about preparing for our interview? 

We need paperwork, and everything above ready for the day, but most important EAT AND DRINK    This is just so you don't pass out on the day or feel unwell during your interview!

I would advise researching the company just so you have background knowledge.                              Please make sure you get plenty of rest before hand to make sure you are fully ready!

If you are travelling by car or public transport, please make sure you leave plenty of time to travel and get to your interview location 

Stay focused, Stay alert, and go and smash it!

Social media jobs and living with trolls

Hi everyone,  As a lot of you might know from my socials, a while back, I was promoted to Patron of Greavsey's Tuck Shop run by a lovely couple.  Being a patron is very high demanding as it involves being very hands on with every customer and spreading as much positivity as possible and interacting with everyone on the lives, making sure that the chat on the lives is super positive energy and filled with happiness and answering customer enquiries so that we deliver a 5 star service to everyone  Now whilst this is all good for our sweet shop lives, there is a darker side to it.  A lot of you who have been on the lives will know, there have been a huge amount of trolls and hate comments that have been posted about the managers which I'm not happy with and I know that the managers aren't.  As the Patron, I would like to address the situation.  If you are on social media and you are under 18 and commenting nasty things just so you feel better because you enjoy ...
