Ooh lovely, where in Kerry is it?

We'll be staying near Rossbeigh, so excited. Can't wait for the long walks on the beach with the dog in the Kerry air

His family all live nearby in Killorglin so we'll probably visit there too. Happy days, just waiting for confirmation on the dates now. I love free holidays

I made a yummy cake this evening. Homemade cake tastes so much better than shop-bought

MissElle · 17-04-2012 11:32pm

Went for my first walk/run this evening

Ive wanted to start for ages but just haven't been bothered. I feel like I'm dying now though after only 45 minutes!! I'm so unfit

Went to Titanic.

Going to Titanic premenstrual is a bad idea....I cried all of the tears! :rolleyes:

Don't fcuking treat me like dirt and then expect my help.

The worst about that is that they insult your intelligence by thinking you've forgotten/not noticed that they were a **** to you...hate that.

ugh, Irish mammy syndrome. I'm so glad my mam taught me how to iron, cook some stuff and work a washing machine when I was younger. If I ever have kids they're learning that stuff as early as possible

My mam was in hospital for a month there recently, my sister had to come home every weekend to make sure his clothes were washed and ironed, and that he had food prepared for the week...Luckily the result of that was that he got a bit of a shock ("What happens if something happens to MammyIvy?") so he learned how to do the washing, and since mam is back from hospital, he cooks the dinner (under instruction, but still).

I think it's very important to be able to look after yourself, whether you're a guy or a girl, which is why I learned basic stuff like turning off electricity/gas/water at the mains etc etc recently, I normally would have left that to the men around the place...

Shoulders hurt.

Have so much study/work to do. I'm such an idiot, going to fall way behind and I'm only 6 weeks in if I don't get my act together.

Never been good at studying, at school all I had to do was turn up and I'd be able to produce and A or B in exams so I've never been much good at studying because I never had to do it. From 6th year onwards to most courses I've done I've been fooked 'cos I just can't study.

lilmissprincess · 18-04-2012 8:50am

Teething should end when you're a toddler. I don't want wisdom teeth. My wisdom level is high enough and they huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurt *whinge*

At least its sunny for the walk to work...

My friend's dad was left home alone for the first time in about 40 years, he called her asking are beans cooked and you just need to put the tin in a saucepan and heat it or do you have to cook them from scratch, she had to go heat the beans for him :rolleyes: Madness.

Last week my boy was almost sick for one day, red nose, looked woozy, he was really warm, then he slept for 12 hours, then he was dizzy and roasting the next day, then it just went away, seems to be something minor going around, hopefully you're done with it now.

Have a short week this week, finished tomorrow evening, huzzah!! Then have a nice fun few days planned with my mommy, can't wait.

Lola92 · 18-04-2012 10:14am

I woke up this morning to find out my first class is cancelled. Not in college till one!

Honey-ec · 18-04-2012 10:19am

So, heading to Bordeaux next week for the Heineken cup semi final. Trip (not even an overnight) was costing €375, match ticket to go on top of that. Really hadn't got the money, but no way was I missing it. Sis rings me this morning to say the travel agent gave her a "small" discount. How much, sez I. Whole trip is now costing €262, including my match ticket - huzzah!

Everyone, regardless of gender, should be able to do the following:

Cook at least three different meals
Change a flat tyre
Top up fluids in the car
Wire a plug
Change a fuse

STBEH used to have to go around to his sister every time the oil needed topping up in her car. I mean FFS!

I can cook more than 3 meals & I can top up the water in my windscreen wipers. That's about it. I'm pretty sure I could change a fuse in a plug if I had to, but I definitely wouldn't trust myself to wire a plug. I know how to change a flat tyre, and if push came to shove and I had to do it, I probably would manage, but I don't think that I'm physically strong enough to succeed.

RacoonQueen · 18-04-2012 11:08am

Someone come and talk all the internet that I don't need for study away from me.

Cherry Blossom Girl · 18-04-2012 11:10am

I know how to change a tyre in theory but the one time it happened to me when I was alone I had to call my daddy for help 'cause I wasn't strong enough to get the flat tyre off - it was really stuck on, he even had to use a blunt hammmer to loosen it! I'm not really sure what else can be done in situations like that, I'm never gonna have Popeye type strength :P

If the last place you had tyres done used an air gun to tighten the nuts, you haven't a hope in hell of getting them off yourself, but at least you knew how to do it and were prepared to give it a go. The amount of women who wouldn't know where to start and have no interest in learning is unreal - "Ah, sure why bother, a man will always come along and offer to help..."

I know a girl who wrecked her car cos she drove around for ages with no oil in it. She never even knew it was supposed to be replaced every so often, let alone how to do it.

Very true! It's mental though, that someone would cost themselves thousands over something so simple. Boggles the mind.

God, I'm so frustrated.
I am trying and trying to get back to work after being off sick for a year and a half. I have had a few interviews, and gotten my hopes up but no luck

I am getting so disheartened, and am trying my best to apply for the jobs that I am qualified for but there aren't that many advertised.
I'm so sad. I don't have any money, haven't had a holiday in years and cannot tell you the last time I bought clothes. I am bored of being bored!

kate.m · 18-04-2012 11:37am

study just not happening these last few days. Yesterday - despite how long I was in there - was a total waste. It's not clicking, I still don't understand what the hell I'm doing for this one module. Usually I get up at 7:30 ish and try start for 8:30 - but today I've had enough.

I'm going for a cycle, will buy some stationary and dark chocolate and try again after lunch.

...this is the first ime I've been out of my pjs since last thursday :O

Ilyana · 18-04-2012 11:38am

In theory I could probably change a tyre, as I've seen it done, but like that I wouldn't be strong enough to do it. I don't own a car right now anyway, nor will i own one for quite some time. As for wiring/changing the fuse on a plug, I was talking that day in science class

I can cook though, and not too badly at that :cool:

When I had my mock LC French oral, the teacher asked me if I was going to Oxegen that summer. I said that I was, and the woman asked me how I'd pitch a tent...in French! I said I'd get a man to do it, only because I couldn't explain the mechanics of tent-pitching in English, never mind French

And when you say no to helping them and they ask why and you remind them of how horrible and nasty they were to you, they then try and turn the blame on you for making them be horrible to you.

All of yesterday evening the said person was trying their best to cause an argument all evening, doing childish things, throwing dirty looks, deliberately having the T.V volume sky-high. Doing their livid best to cause trouble, thankfully they didn't succeed.

Today is another day, and no doubt they'll try again.

working in customer care i see this all the time, people would rather ring a company to solve something simple instead of even attempting to do it themselves. here's a phone tip, 90% of the calls we deal with can be solved by just turning the phone off and on again. text didnt send? off and on, screen froze? off and on. People forget a phone is an electronic device, you wouldnt leave your tv turned on 24/7 365 and not expect it to have the odd hiccup would you? people think I'm joking but it happens ALL the time.

I had a woman threatening to sue us for "loss of service" because she came home from holidays and her phone had zero coverage for days, the problem? she didnt turn the phone off getting on the plane and it just needed to reset itself to pick up the Irish coverage. and she waited days to call in about this instead of just resetting the phone. "how do I turn it off?" is another one, I get asked that a few times a week....ehh, its the button with the universal symbol for power, the same button you used to turn it ON when you first bought it?!

Susie_Q · 18-04-2012 12:30pm

Great day at work, got loads done as well as positive feedback on work completed (always appreciated) so think I might treat myself to a nice meal out after work. BUT am super sticky from the humidity and want a shower at home just as much as I want a fancy dinner out. Bah - such choices! No option of doing both as I'm so tired, if I go home then I won't go out again.

Might have to choose the dinner option and cool down with a very very cold beer

I can do all except change a tyre- thank god for the AA. I don't even know how to get the tyre off the back of the jeep

I can jump start a car though if that counts...

I been designing the OH's band a website all morning. They've had the domain for 2 years with just a blank page. Now it's all pretty and bubblefettised. Granted I haven't actually put up any actual info onto it yet, but it is pretty looking

cynder · 18-04-2012 1:40pm

Changed my first tyre at age 11...

Only topped up the car with water not with oil, get the car serviced once a year. first wired a plug at around age 10, changed a fuse too many times already, can cook for i hate as well as food i like.

Feeling a bit rotten today, might be coming down with a cold and less than 3 weeks to italy

LenaClaire · 18-04-2012 1:51pm

My dad made me change a tyre, and fill all the fluids in the car before he would take me out for lessons when I was learning how to drive.

Are your muscles alright when your not moving them?
It's most likely doms, giving your muscles some rest would do you good, go for a gentle walk (moving them helps them get better quicker) or you could do some yoga?

I'm so mad at the min, I was in work yesterday and was pretty sick with flu, I woke up this morming and was much worse so I rang in to tell my boss I would be out sick- she said back to me "oh so you are out sick again, some suprise, grand see you whenever so" and hung up.

My last sick day was last may when fair enough I was out for four weeks but that was after a work related back injury, I feel like she thinks I am faking even though she saw me yesterday and I was obviously sick then too

Baa stoopid boss!

tatabubbly · 18-04-2012 2:47pm

Having a bit of a good day alright, got my aunties flight fixed on ryanair, got the doggie out a while and my rent paid. didn't get to the bank but that can wait till tomorrow!

all in all, can't wait to finish work so i can go home to mu doggie, i want to see how she got on with her new toy!!

Susie_Q · 18-04-2012 3:07pm

Went for the delicious-dinner-and-cold-beer option, then had amazing shower when I got home to de-stickify from humidity.

Opened up my email to find an invitation to interview for an amazing job back in Dublin that I only applied for on Monday - didn't think they'd even interview me as I'm not available until end of August. Very excited! Going to spend the whole weekend studying and cramming in case they throw a load of difficult questions at me. Such a good bloody day!
