I bought really lovely bedsheets, brushed cotton ones. Light pink with white polkadots. I love them, they were quite expensive.

Myself and my husband are covered in fluff every morning!! The pillows are so soft that bits come off and get in my hair and his stubble. They're so beautiful though.

The latest craze of having "plumped up lips". Why??!!

A solar eclipse and all I can see is cloud!

Not sure that it is the latest craze, but agreed- the BJ lips thing is not a good look for some people.

Woke up with a crick in my neck, plus I'm going to the hairdressers, so that'll be 2 hours sat in a chair.

Boom_Bap · 20-03-2015 10:30am

Jaysus, just realised how bad that looks now......I was practicing a squat deadlift (think that's what it's called) with a trainer last night.

There is nothing wrong with my other 'squatting' though.

My headphone jack is getting sensitive......going for a run later so I'll be listening to the remix of every song that is playing.

rainbow kirby · 20-03-2015 11:15am

Squats and deadlifts are two different lifts

TA'd at how much of a damp squib the eclipse was here. Went from normal spring grey to looking like it was going to piss rain and back again.

Rosie Rant · 20-03-2015 11:45am

Yeaterday, I was like Julie Andrews - I felt like running for the hills and bursting joyously into song. Today I am back in the land of trivial annoyances. In fact, I'm rightly p*ssed off!!

Yesterday's weather was beautiful, heavenly. There was not a single cloud in the sky. It would have been great weather for eclipse-gazing. Today, the day of the actual eclipse, there was nothing but thick, grey, horrible clouds. I was optimistic, thought I might glimpse it at least for a second, but nope. I was so disappointed.

I'm annoyed with myself for wearing the wrong shoes yesterday, when I knew I would be doing a lot of walking. My feet are full of painful blisters. I'll have to soak them.

On my way back from walking my OH to work, I got stuck behind this prick who had a massive shoulder bag hanging off him. Every time I tried to pass him out he walked to the side to cut me off. I ended up having to go into the cycle lane to get past him. I felt like scowling over my shoulder at him and shouting "I'll f*cking push you next time!!!"

And It started to rain again. Typical f*cking Irish weather. Glorious one minute, horrid the next. I'm now damp and grumpy and footsore. Hopefully I'll feel better after a hot shower, a foot soaking and some more coffee. And at least I can see the eclipse on the news.

Ficheall · 20-03-2015 1:05pm

Postdoc is finished in a couple of weeks, have just received my first rejection of the new slew of job applications.

It's fine though - it's not like I wanted to work in Oxford anyway...

deise08 · 20-03-2015 1:29pm

Pierced ears on young children.
now I'm not meaning that towards a 'particular group' I'm seeing it a lot more now on kids from all walks.

20-03-2015 1:53pm

I just got so very excited when I got a 15% off discount code form adidas because there are training pants I really reeeeaaaaally want.

I went to buy them and copped they're actually reebok

Just buy the things anyway ffs! If you don't you'll just be thinking about them all the time!

Supervalue toastie bags.
Made my lunch earlier, was starving. Popped the ham, cheese and tomato sandwich in to the new Supervalue toastie bags, popped the lot in the toaster.

The bag melts. WTF!
I was so hungry I ate the toastie anyway, but still TA!

rainbow kirby · 20-03-2015 5:28pm

TA'd at 32 year old English graduates who insist on using the worst txtspk known to humanity.

Pumpkinseeds · 20-03-2015 5:43pm

Found a handbag online last night that I really liked and it was half price, today both colours that I liked are gone. That's what I get for not buying it last night. I'm really fussy about handbags so it takes me ages to find one I like.:(

I would bring them back to Supervalu. Those bags are designed to resist heat and the possibility of melting. Would be a good way to vent your trivial annoyance offline. Go into the supermarket, ask for the manager and begin your complaint with "I am trivially annoyed that..."!!

Loving jalapenos, adding them to meals such as fajitas, chilli con carne, tacos etc. But then them being too hot. But me still loving them. But in pain.

It still not being warmer ir warm enough weather wise to start wearer lighter clothes.

TA that I had no change for the Luas. Gave the machine a twenty. It gave me all coins change. I well be rattling round Dublin all night.

KatW4 · 20-03-2015 9:08pm

I'm havinga REALLY bad day today.

Got lost on the way to a school I was working in so arrived in just in time instead of 20 minutes early which I like. Super annoying.

And people who don't listen straight away or properly. Then they ask stupid questions which you've already answered when you were speaking first time around. Just listen for ffs!

Grrrrrrrrrr everything is annoying me today! I need to go to sleep and wake up on a new day.

Rubberlegs · 20-03-2015 9:21pm

It's annoying that I never know where to look at the hairdressers when she is talking to me. Do I turn slightly and look at her, or talk to her reflection in the mirror? I also told her not to worry about pulling the head off me trying to get out knots, as I pull the head off myself everyday. Then had to chew my lip as I realised how it sounded. When leaving I dropped my phone into a clump of hair off the old lady beside me:(.

Laughing away to myself here! That not knowing where to look when the hairdresser is talking is so awkward!

Went to Tesco for milk. Spent 80 Euro & forgot the feckin milk!!

fussyonion · 20-03-2015 11:15pm

Every Friday I buy a share-size bag of crisps to have with my wine that evening.
It's my weekly treat.

Today, while shopping, I grabbed a bag and put it in the trolley. Said to other half: "Are you getting anything for yourself?"
He says: "No, I won't."
Asked him again: "Sure? Tayto or O'Donnells or something?"
Him: "No, I'm grand."

Fast forward to tonight. I take my bag of crisps out of the cupboard and sit down with my wine.
I open bag. Other half's ears prick and in goes his hand, like a digger.
"Ooh," he says. "These are nice."
Most of them are gone now.

I don't like sharing. Not when it's my weekly treat and he didn't buy any for himself!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11484996/Mystery-man-slaps-shoppers-around-head-for-sneezing.html

Actually, on the note of sneezing and coughing, I seriously hate it when people don't cover their mouths when sneezing or coughing. I've felt the spray from sneezes before, which has been quite unpleasant. I've been coughed on as well at times. Also not pleasant!

Zippie84 · 21-03-2015 1:22am

When people make assumptions, I often get really wound up.

Like obviously it's a natural human thing for people to assume something's a certain way. But usually there's way more than just one possibility, but people often fix their mind on this one possibility and can't see beyond that, and assume that to be the case. And I get wound up.

The thing might be the case, might not be, and I feel like screaming 'stop making fecking assumptions'.

Yet I probably do the same without even realising

TA that I ate a snack box on Sat night & I broke my front tooth.

Even more TA that I paid 8.50 for it (its normally 6.50) to get two breast pieces, as I don't like the dark meat, or bones or gristle in the thighs and wings. Yet I STILL broke an effing tooth eating it.

TA I had to wait until today for an appointment at my dentist, as they were closed Mon-Wed.

TA that I had to get an injection right in the front of my upper gum. There is NO WORSE OR MORE PAINFUL a place to get an injection. NONE !!!

TA that I paid 120 for the filling, but there is a part of it still sticking out. I'll need to go back and get it filed down, or more food could catch on it and detach the whole thing. And I'll probably need another injection. In my upper gum. Again.

So between trips to town & the filling, that bloody snack box cost me 142 smackers. I should have just bought a pair of shoes ! :mad:

Robsweezie · 21-03-2015 4:21am

food snobs who, at the sight of you eating or a mere mention of fast food, fall over themselves to tell you how nutritionally deficient it is. yes, its not the best for you, but its down to personal choice and discretion. in other words, back the **** up and mind your own.

anyone who takes it upon themselves to abuse or humiliate someone in a customer service role when they've been nothing but nice. staff i deal with are typically a pleasure, never any problems and when there were mistakes made or delays in service they were quickly acknowledged and apologised for. especially when I see new staff being trained in stores and are clearly flustered trying to find their feet. I would hate to see some asshole come along and make life difficult for them. some chap took a lengthy amount of time preparing a bit of food for me at the deli the other day and was being helped out by his colleague as he went along, he was obviously new and just getting to know the place, took noticeably longer than usual but they were apologetic and it wasn't a burden on me or my time. I just understood and felt compassion for the new guy.

petty people who engage in childish, tit-for-tat one upmanship in order to feel they've 'won' and are 'superior' (inferiority complex)

Its the new trend with stingy farmers who despise having to run a thirsty cruiser so they decide to buy, insure and tax a van as a cheaper option.
