    Had to sort through lots of old stuff today in an attempt to de-clutter. Found a love poem from an ex-boyfriend I'd completely forgotten about! Ah, bittersweet nostalgia.

    Made a lemon meringue pie for dessert. First time I've ever even made pastry, scary! :eek:
    Nearly a disaster but a success in the end, phew! :D

    Not only is it Mothers' Day next Sunday, it's both my parents' birthdays on Monday...and I'm broke.

    I type with 2 or 3 fingers- my speed is usually 50-60 WPM, but now I am doing a course that includes learning to type properly and my speed is between 15-20 WPM when I do it 'right.' Aaargh.
    I really should practice the piano now for a while but I'd really just prefer a nap. :o

    Hee hee. I like funny reviews- reminds me of the 'three wolf' tee-shirt reviews on amazon which are brilliant. :D

    Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Novella.
    Emily, my mother's birthday falls around mother's day every year- I find getting the presents out of the way pretty handy to be honest! (I'm broke too so I got my mam's birthday present inn the January sales!) :o

    Jesus H Christ I had so much fun last night. It was actually UNREAL.

    John and I karaoked so much and everyone loved our renditions of Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend", "Moves Like Jagger" and "Don't Stop Believin'" especially. And a lot of people commented that they think it's great I can relax and have so much fun when I'm not drinking, some didn't even believe me when I said I wasn't drinking though, which was weird!

    So glad I went. :D He seemed pretty happy to see me there and that made me very happy too. Need to spend about 20 hours tomorrow working now to keep my head above water next week, but ah sure. :)

    I bought about 5 random gift sets in the Boots 75% off sale earlier in the year, did the same last year and they came in sooo handy!

    Just did a day-long yoga workshop with the bf, we both really enjoyed it! I was surprised about how challenging I found some of the poses, would be great to increase that strength and flexibility. Shattered now though :eek:

    Me too! Boots had some amazing bargains this year. :D
    Plus, I got a few body shop body butters that were reduced from €20 to €10 to keep as gifts for people too. (I'd never pay twenty quuid for a body butter anyway- I don't care how mango-ey it smells!)
    I got my mother a 'sanctuary' set with a few things in it in January and got 6 more products over the last couple of weeks to add to it (bless you, 3 for 2!), so it's a lovely present now, full of her favourite things- she loves Sanctuary stuff! :)

    Worked all day, went straight from that to an exhibition launch, home now and have to make a cheesecake, last thing I want to do. Boyfriend is 5 hours late coming back from a trip he had to make today! Think he's just not coming back at this stage.

    The eternal debate of pub or bed is going on in my head, make cheesecake, put on pj's and snuggle up, or make cheesecake and go to pub for a few, via a party where I can piss someone off, hmmm.

    *rant ahead*

    anyone have those friends that seriously annoy you?

    it leaves me wondering why the hell I bother making the effort to talk to some people. I get on really well with this one girl, but she loves being this casual, detached *I don't care about anything* type of person. She oscillates between *everything is pointless - we all end up dead* attitude to *I should make an effort* (dramatic or what). Also ,stop playing the damn victim and grow up! You're not the only human on the planet and your views are not divinely inspired. Everyone knows what you know. Most people choose to get on with life.

    The worst bit is I bother responding. *rant over* I know I've explained that scenario terribly....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,413 ✭✭✭TeletextPear


    Dropped my bf down to his mates, driving back was the first time id driven by myself on the road, was scared sh!tless! Got some lovely ginger beer in the fridge but have to wait to see if he needs me to pick him up before I can crack into them. At least the roads will be quieter in a few hours!

    Know exactly where you are coming from. You explained it very well. But you say you get on really well with her? Is she only annoying some of the time?

    Don't believe it, f*cked up the cheesecake at the very last step, a difference of about 10 seconds ballsed it up. Don't have the ingredients or inclination to do it again, so mad.

    We have a similar sense of humour and she's really intelligent. But a lot of the time, annoying doesn't half describe it. Everything is too much *effort* for her. She's usually in that type of form and seems like she'd rather I wasn't there. Like I'm an inconvenience? The worst bit is that people avoid her because of it and a number of other things.

    However, she was bullied pretty badly when she was younger. So I know this rude/dismissive attitude is like a defence mechanism. At the same time, I was also bullied, yet I get on well with people. I know how to act around others, and she doesn't....I've tried to explain it to her but she clearly doesn't listen.

    It's so frustrating!....I could go on :o....

    It's for boyfriend's family tomorrow, leaving here at 11am, not going to go buy stuff for it now and the morning will be too late, it'll have to do, or else I just won't bring it. The other cake I made for them came out pretty wrong too, this is why I don't bake when it's late and I'm tired! :(

    In other news, my dress is just after leaving Frankfurt, so by Monday I'll know if I need to start saving for a "proper" one or not.

    Even if the cake doesn't turn out completely perfect it's the thought that counts? They might not even notice? :)

    or if worst comes to worst you could always buy them cake? I know your own cake would be far superior, but as a back-up plan?

    Yeah my boyfriend agrees with you, it's the thought that counts, I'm just overthinking it all a bit as it's a family occasion and I've been asked to help out for it in lots of little ways, first time I've been included so much so I want to make a good impression! There's nowhere to buy a nice cake here on a Sunday morning so it's this or nothing which is a bit high pressured! I do have 3 cakes for them, so hopefully at least one will be ok :o

    its 22 degrees here at the mo with a mild breeze, pleasant enough. when I'm rich I', spending a fortune on my shower, one of those big walk in ones with multiple jets in it, I was in a hotel in Cork once that had one like that, it even had a little bench to sit on, was...handy :cool:

    My parents got married 34 years ago today. So weird to think about! Mam was only nineteen, the age I am now. I still can't get my head around it, imagining being married terrifies me!

    I'm very overwhelmed by college work at the moment too, ugh. Silly mooting. I hate working in a team when I end up being saddled with all the work, it's totally unfair. My partner doesn't seem to care if we fail it because all she's looking for is to pass the year overall so if I want to do well I'll really have to nail this. We're just not on the same wavelength at all and it's frustrating. Funny in a sense too because if I learned one thing this year it's that I can actually work really well in a group when my partner isn't so lazy!

    At my age now, my mam was a single mother with a three year old, a full time job and used to walk over an hour each day just to get to work.
    I have no sense of responsibility and can barely look after a house-plant. :o
