Hello loungers, how are we all??
On my way home from Portlaoise. Did food shopping with my Mam. I was in the pet shop, there's a cute white kitten in there that they're trying to get a home for I think.
Going to have a hot bath when I get home. My back is sore so it might help. I'll try to finish the scarf for my bf's friend then.
Would love to be able to afford a present for my bf for Valentine's Day. Might just get him something small for him. Even though he'll kill me.
Hope all you lovely people are having a good day. 0 -

Rant alert...I hate having flatmates. I live with 2 girls in college, and it's wrecking my head.
One of them, I just don't get on with. Not in a nasty way, but we have literally nothing in common. The other girl is a bit nicer. But they both constantly (everyday without fail) have a gang of people here in the kitchen, which is the only common area in the flat. The first girl's friends more or less ignore me, the second one's friends don't speak English when they're together.
It's frustrating as I feel I can't hang out in my own flat anymore. I haven't eaten my meals in the kitchen in weeks, and I don't feel comfortable in my own place, that I pay to live in.
Also, I've a suspicion that the first girl's friends have gotten their own keys cut for the flat, while the other leaves the door off the latch for her friends sometimes. Once it was left off the latch over night. In Dublin
I cleaned the kitchen floors this morning and asked people not to go in until the floors were dry. The kitchen is now full of people and the floor is filthy again. And if we had a maintenance audit now, I'd probably be fined for their mess.
This arrangement is only until June but it's so damn frustrating that my parents and I can just about pay to keep me here, and people that are here for free are more comfortable than I am in my own home.

Awwh lovely names! My friend had a baby 2 days ago and named her Lola!
I told my nan that my friend had a baby and she was like "I assume she's married"... :rolleyes:
Lola is a cute name !0 -

How is she 25?
hard to believe that it was only a few years ago she looked like this:
she was great in Mean Girls, could have had a great career ahead of her, and now shes basically a walking "drugs are bad,m'kay?" advert. she actually looks like someone in their late 40's or early 50's now, completely unrecognisable, the perils of having fame at an early age and two scumbag parents, and friends like Paris Hilton.0 -

Today I find their kid sitting on top of my jeep and one of them sitting on my window sil looking in through the window into my bedroom!!
God I hate living here, need to win lotto soon
It is one thing I want to do in life is to live in a detached house in the country where the neighbor is down the road and not right beside me.
I am worried sick about something that is happening with a family member today, it has been a long time coming and I don't expect good news. My stomach has been in my mouth all day, I hate that feeling.0 -

Having neighbours down the road is ahmaziiing!
Emily -- I completely understand where you are coming from with the selfish housemates, however you need to stand up for yourself.
You're not on friendly terms with the first one so you have nothing to lose. Tell her you do not want her friends there every single evening, that you're paying 1/3 rent and 1/3 bills and that you don't feel comfortable in your own home. If someone left the door on the latch in a house I lived in I'd be FREAKIN the bin omg I'd actually kill someone.
Seriously Emily - stand up for yourself. You don't need to be nasty about it but trust me, you need to be able to stand up for yourself when you're sharing with other people. There's a reason it's always your house they're in -- most likely the only housemate that isn't kicking up.
My hair looks so strange/ridiculous just flat and tied up. I had the weirdest dream last night, that my hair had turned into Afro.
Woke the boy up last night when I got out of the bath, with a big chocolate muffin and hot chocolate. Because I needed a cuddle and he wouldn't be angry if I woke him up with food
I love him so much

You poor thing, I've never had a dry socket, but can imagine the pain.There are actually tears coming out of my eyes now the pain is so bad Took 2 nurofen plus half an hour ago...no difference. I don't know why the dentist didn't prescribe me anything. I think she thought the packing would make the pain go right away. And it did for about 6 hours! But it's even worse than it was at the start now
If you can - get yourself some Solpadeine - they come in three type - capsule, powder capsule (same as the plasticy looking capsules) and soluble.
They are the only painkillers that work for me, they are around €6 or €7 for a box of 24. They work quickly, usually in around 20mins for me.
There's also Solpadol, similar to Solpadeine, but much stronger.
I took the solpadol at night though because they make you very drowsy (though if you have to be up early etc, I wouldn't take them). Soldpadol is only available on prescription because they are quite strong.
I remember after having my teeth done, the surgeon had Morphine and DF118 on the list of medicines I may have need, thankfully didn't need anything. The poor woman next to me need morphine for her pain.
I would speak to your flatmates about this to be honest and if they don't list/do anything, I would then speak to your landlord.Rant alert...I hate having flatmates. I live with 2 girls in college, and it's wrecking my head.

Leaving a door unsecured (at any time, let alone night) is irresponsible and dangerous.
As for their friends having keys, I would nearly bet on it that, that is breaking the lease - unless your friends have medical issues and their friends need to have keys in an emergency etc. I doubt this is the case though. Again I'd speak to your landlord and tell him/her your concerns.
I'm sorry to hear this Ophiopogon, best of luck to you and your family, I hope it's not as you expect.Ophiopogon wrote: »It is one thing I want to do in life is to live in a detached house in the country where the neighbor is down the road and not right beside me.

I have family arriving tomorrow, three kids and two adults. The eldest of the kids is very bold and a little wild, they are meant to be staying with us, I feel stressed at the thoughts of it.
As much as I love them I know what they are like for taking over and having the kids run wild.
The two younger kids are grand though, tell them to stop and they will stop
Making cupcakes tonight for definite. Whoop
Would vanilla and cinnamon be horrible together? I was thinking of making plain vanilla, plain chocolate and vanilla and cinnamon.
Lunch now - spicy wedges, fried egg, smokey rashers, yum
Also got rid of a load of junk - the mammy brought it to the charity shop this morning, delighted to be rid of it. 0 -
Yeah, I agree with all of the above. It's ridiculous behaviour, Emily. You shouldn't have to put up with this sort of crap under your own roof. :mad:The Lovely Muffin wrote: »I would speak to your flatmates about this to be honest and if they don't list/do anything, I would then speak to your landlord.

I don't smoke and always wear factor 50 on my face when I'm abroad, but not in Ireland. I must rectify this. And start moisturising more. And using that anti-wrinkle eye cream that I bought but hardly ever use.Make up artist told me a few days ago that I have great skin, thank you Factor 50 and no smoking!

How come he wasn't in a good way? Hope he's feeling better now.
I'm off to see if a hot bath will do my back any good. Going to try Veet as well. Made a playlist so I won't be bored. Also bought some Lynx For Her today and I really really like it. Got some lovely purple nail polish that I'm going to put on when I get dressed. I'm all happy now.
If only I could knit in the bath.. :rolleyes:0 -
The best anti wrinkle treatment is SPF. True story. If you're starting with your eye cream don't use any more than the size of a grain of rice, use for 7 nights and break for 7 nights and don't drag the skin around the eyes when you're applying it. Work from outer corner of eye to inner corner of eye.Yeah, I agree with all of the above. It's ridiculous behaviour, Emily. You shouldn't have to put up with this sort of crap under your own roof. :mad:

That grain of rice is enough to come down to the cheek bone (so you're doing the entire eye scket) and never bring regular moisturiser over your cheekbone, around your eyes.
You need to take the 7 day break too so as not to overload products on the area0 -

Storm, Lovely Muffin and Posy, thanks for your responses, at least I know it's not a case of me fussing over nothing.
We live on campus so the college is essentially our landlord. I couldn't really complain to the residences people unless it got worse, so I'll have to have a word with them myself. The only problem is that if I ever want my bf to stay the night, I'd need the girls' written permission as we live in a single-sex apartment. Retarded, I know. But that's why I'm wary of rocking the boat.
You're right though, something has to be said. In fairness, the college is huge, there are other places they can hang out.
Thanks again girls This is why I love this thread! 0
