    Get her the fluffy slippers and the vibrator.

    If she doesn't like the slippers she can go **** herself.

    Right a vibrator of some kind seems to be number one, followed by slippers!!! I'm sure I can include the lube with the vibrator!

    You could invite her to Boards and most especially introduce her to the Education forum( which I personally think is best on Boards)...there are lots of opportunities for people who have lost their jobs to go for further education and it is not too late for her to apply.

    For a lot of people who think Ireland is shyte ...my reply to them would be they are absolutely mistaken...this is has to be one of the few countries in the world where you loose your job and you are given the opportunity to go to school for free ...and guess what!!? they pay you for doing it.Not even Obama could come up with something that sagacious...kudos!!
