Wherever I work I have a professional and possibly uptight persona, I’m quieter than others. Outside of work with my family and friends I’m much louder and can be myself.

I can’t shake this persona I have for work and colleagues like to pick things up about me in front of the wider team, could be my clothing, footwear, politeness (all real examples) and I can’t help but low key feel slightly bullied when these scenarios arise.

I try and laugh is off but in reality it gets to me. Any tips to fight back or how to not care?

For clarity I don’t wear wild and wacky clothes, I’m probably pretty boring with my dress sense

Hi all
My husband and I have reserved a new home under their part exchange scheme. Our broker initially inputted our details and said there were many offers out there for a new mortgage. Now the times come to apply and nationwide would lend us all but 6k! We’ve kindly been gifted the 6k by family but had a call with the broker yesterday and he’s now saying nationwide are the only ones who will offer us a mortgage. He’s submitted the application but says he’s not hopeful we’ll get it. Is it true banks don’t like the part exchange scheme?
