    Yeah that doesn't sound great then, I carry nearly all my excess weight on my tummy/hip area. If I could remove my tummy I'd look fine lol. :o
    Same as me so.

    Is there a Jean Junction near you Jane? If so, I'd recommend popping in and having a look.

    The one near me has a few nice bits in, not overly dressy mind.

    Would you chance buying from eBay Jane? I've bought some gorgeous bits and pieces there, for little or nothing. Tbh, most of my wardrobe contents have come from eBay.

    If you're unsure about store sizing, you can ask here and someone will be able to help.

    A lot of items on eBay will only post to the U.K, but if you message the seller they are normally happy to post to R.O.I, you just need to specify whether is Northern or Southern Ireland you want them to post to, because in my experience, U.K postage prices apply to Northern Ireland as well as mainland U.K (London, Manchester, etc).

    Never actually heard of Jean Junction but I'll Google and see what I come up with. I don't really want anything overly dressy so that would be great. eBay would be good either. I'll have a look there too. A size 18 from Penneys is usually fine for me. I seem to be different sizes in different shops. I'm a 16 in Dunnes jeans. :rolleyes:

    Thanks so much for your replies ladies. :)

    I have never bought clothes online. The amount of things I've seen in shops, thought were lovely and tried them only only to find out they're awful has put me off. I must try (on) before I buy!

    Ebay is great for getting clothes, especially vintage stuff. Do pay close attention to the description though. If they don't have specific measurements, just shoot them off a message and they should be happy to measure for you.

    Spider babies didn't resurrect overnight so I have my bathroom back. Huzzah! Off to the seaside tonight for the long Easter weekend. It's hitting 41 degrees and climbing so lots of shade and swimming pool for me. Have 3 books packed for 4 days and wondering if it's enough.

    Last year the weather hit 52 degrees in May... am dreading next month. Have red hair and super pale skin so I'm not built for this heat at all.

    (Pretty good excuse for an ice cold beer though :))

    I must of missed it before but where do you live? i want some of that 41 degrees, its freezing here;)

    my friend lives in Canada and is off to Cuba for 2 weeks - lucky devil....

    Out of curiosity what are the books your taking along, i have a holiday in Italy coming up soon and i need a few books to bring with me....

    I live in India, hence the crazy weather. I'm reading a book called "Family Matters" by Rohinton Mistry at the moment - he's an Indian author who writes amazingly evocative novels about Indian life, families, caste etc. The kind of novels you find it difficult to put down. I often find myself thinking of his characters in the middle of the day, wondering what they're doing or how they are... then I have to remind myself they're not real!

    I have another of his books with me along with "The Glass Palace" by Amitav Gosht.

    If you're looking for a non-Indian book recommendation try something by Brady Udall. I've read both "The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint" and "The Lonely Polygamist" and both were truly excellent.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,642 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    I love novels that are hard to put down. I'll have to check out this Mistry, I haven't read much by Indian writers, must expand my reading list..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭Susie_Q


    Great to hear it! I had never read anything by an Indian author until I moved here, I just started picking up random novels in bookshops until I hit on a few writers I liked.

    Excellent book on life in Calcutta (a novel) called City of Joy by Dominique La Pierre. It's about an American doctor who finds himself working in the city slums. If it doesn't make you wretchedly heartbroken then you have a heart of stone! It's beautifully written and I have to say I enjoy my sporadic trips to Calcutta the more for reading it.

    Anyone ever by from boohoo.com? The prices are very reasonable, just wondering what are the sizes like..

    Boohoo is generally cheap for a reason, very hit and miss, some of the fabric is appalling quality.

    ooh great recommendations, they are going onto my (huge) "to be read" list!

    Have you read A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth? It's lonnnnng but I loved it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭Susie_Q


    Just googled it - soft cover version has 1,488 pages! Apparently it's one of the longest novels ever published. Thanks for the recommendation, I just found it on Book Depository (free shipping!) for about a tenner.

    There's a sequel due for publication next year by the way, aptly titled "A Suitable Girl".

    PS I love watching people shopping for books on the BD website - I get to indulge my nosiness without bothering anyone :)http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/live

    +10000000 for that, hope you're okay love x




    I am so sick of crap doctors, you go to them for help and they make things worse! When I went to a doctor about my depression he straight out asked me "well are you planning killing yourself?" I said no (a lie) and he told me that I was fine and he didn't intend to be handing out drugs for nothing (I didn't even want to go on medication, I just needed help).

    Hope you're okay Sar_bear, no one deserves a brush off like that from a doctor x *hugs*

    They seem to be proliferating alright. Like my mum, who has been sick since last July/August. She was told it was "psychosomatic" (lovely). So psychosomatic, in fact, that she has since been diagnosed with a very serious heart condition, and had to spend a month in a private clinic under 24 hour monitoring, is not allowed go back to work for at least a year and can hardly make it up the stairs.

    Sar_bear, I would go to see another doctor. You know your body and you know something is not right. Insist upon it. Best of luck. Hugs.

    Ah the usual waffle about how trans people are just doing it to be different and are liars and blah blah, it was mostly about being able to change your birth cert to your new sex instead of your birth one, there was a couple of trans people on it, should be on the website if you want to listen back

    Its very slow in here today, everyone calming down for the long weekend.

    I was reading the after hours thread about signs of getting old, if you over 30 dont read it....

    The only thing going for me is that i enjoy modern music... Other than that im old n past it...
    Oh and then I was on the eye cream thread :( i hate fine lines...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭Susie_Q


    I was just reading the thread about the guy who would demand a paternity test from any woman claiming to be carrying his child - even if it was his wife or long-term girlfriend! What on earth is that about? I think it's quite sad actually, I'm glad I have more trust in people than that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,555 ✭✭✭Sar_Bear


    Morning everyone :)

    Thanks so much for all yer replies about the crappy A&E doctor.. Made me feel so much better & I think I'm definitely gonna go see someone else.

    Still pretty down in the dumps over it today, just taking lots of pain killers & lying in bed, kinda have that "what's the point in getting up?" feeling as I know I'll be in too much pain to do anything at all.

    That's awful! I really hate doctors. It's funny thinking that 3 girls I went to school with all went on to study medicine and none of them were people I'd trust with a house plant, let alone my life. All brains, no sense or people skills.

    Edit: I just did spell check on this and it suggested I change "IvyTheTerrible" to "Unutterable" hehe

    Really sorry to hear about the bad experiences in A and E/with doctors...really makes you wonder!

    I had college notes from the last few weeks to print off. I've spent €400+ euro on cartridges (they were the big ones, that get like 5000 pages each and each one ran out one after the other), €20+ euro on paper and then last night after like 30 pages, it tells me the photoconductor needs to be replaced. I googled it and it apparently costs like €280-€300!! :eek:

    Need the printer but can't pay that. So I went online and found that you can overide the chip thingy in the photoconductor by relplacing it?...(I don't understand it that well but I've watched the tutorials on youtube) That costs €20 to order from the UK so I got that and I'll try sort this out. *unleashes inner techie*

    for 280 I could by a new printer....(maybe not a good one but still :p)

    So I was in the supermarket and this ole b!tch rammed her trolley into the back of me trying to get passed. All she had to do was say excuse me. I said 'ouch' and not as much as a 'sorry' from her.

    So when I was walking out the door I gave her little granny trolley a good kick. She turned around to look and I just kept walking.

    I'm starting to get very curious about railway systems in Ireland. To be honest, I kinda assumed it was just something we didn't have, so I'm a bit astonished to find that Ireland used to be fairly well connected by rail: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/Map_Rail_Ireland_Viceregal_Commission_1906.jpg

    Feeling a bit down atm, I'll be OK though. I feel stupid for feeling upset and down over what it is that's getting me down and upset. It shouldn't get to me so much, wish I could just get over it tbh. It's ridiculously petty. At 20yo, you'd think I know better.

    Lunch now, pasta in a Smokey Bacon sauce, yum.

    Hoping the boyfriend will come to see the Titanic with me next week when it is released, fingers crossed :)

    the new cinema here isnt showing it for some reason so will have to go see it in one of the other ones, I wouldnt mind seeing it again its definitely a big screen movie, havent watched it in a few years either. some dodgy scriptwriting aside its still a spectacle of a film.

    It's crazy isn't it? I study a bit of that in college, and it's so sad to think it was just abandoned for cars...also it's made a lot of roads very easy to construct here, because the railways already existed, so they could just lay the roads over them and not have to buy lots of private land or knock houses.

    Lola - thanks! I'd like to say I'm very lucky to be in my job, though I have to say it's the result of 6 years of hard work to get to where I am now. Have 4 days off now for Easter so have just checked into a nice hotel (with a pool!) in a nearby beach town. My plan is to read, swim, relax and eat my bodyweight in fresh seafood until I go back to the office.

    Does anyone know where I can stream Titanic online? Shock horror, I've actually never seen it. PM me if you have a link please! :)
