Metformin and hair growth

I’ve started to have reactions to my metformin, so I’ve had to take a break from it. I’ve noticed a lot of hair growth the last few weeks. Is there a link, or am I losing my mind? I’ve done loads of laser hair removal the last few years, and took a break the last two years, and haven’t seen growth like this.

Lads am I doing something wrong in interviews?

I’m coming up on two months unemployed, which doesn’t seem long in comparison to some people.
Thing is, I’ve done loads of interviews, they go really well, we get to the second round, I still feel confident, then don’t get the job.
I never stumble on questions, always get a good laugh out of the interviewers, and they seem genuinely impressed when I talk about my experience.
Am I just unlucky, or is there something specific in the second round they look out for? Lots of people told me that I’m probably too bubbly and chatty, instead of being serious at that point. I’m honestly just naturally not a serious person! Even when I was signing the deeds for my house I had the solicitor in stitches!
Does it just come across as unprofessional to have a laugh, or am I not striking the balance?

Steak stealer!!

The snout of the boldest boy ever, who ate two entire sirloin steaks when we weren’t looking. No idea how he reached them OR ate them so quickly, but he refuses to look me in the eye now. You could cut the tension with a steak knife

F27 I just bought a house and moved in the same week I was made redundant. Have been here 4 weeks and I love the place and have some leads on jobs, but my stimming the last week has been out of control. I can’t sleep and I keep on getting the impulse to do things that will hurt me (like biting my cuticles down to nothing or rubbing a cut on my finger).
I’m on 100mg of Zoloft for anxiety etc but is it time to go to the doctor? I also have ocd so the stimming and compulsive tendencies overlap a lot

We adopted Bainne almost two years ago (he’s 3~ yo) and we recently bought a home. We is myself and my partner, and Bainne only lived with me as my bf was house sharing.

Since we’ve moved about three weeks ago, I was so understanding that he would have regular accidents with the change of routine (having to ask to go outside instead of having free rein in the garden).

He had two or so accidents the first two weeks, which is great! But the last week there’s been more, and the last three days he’s having constant accidents.

I think the last owners had a dog so I know he wanted to mark his territory a bit, but it’s just been non stop recently. He’s also just not himself. He won’t play, he’s pulling on the lead as if something is up, and just can’t seem to relax. He was making progress!

Is it the new routine? Getting used to my partner? The smell of another dog? Did we spook him?

UPDATE: today, no indoor poops (which is great because yesterday the robot hoover dragged it ALL OVER THE HOUSE), but three pees. Two of those were in our carpeted bedroom, which I think he can still smell the previous dog in (despite me professionally cleaning it).

Any advice on helping him not have to mark his territory?
