    Sometimes i wonder then i stop... pause and die a little inside.

    Playing the sims, 8 hours worth of playing 6 birthdays 40 deaths(of friends) and just had a baby. alls great then i go menu ... freezes and then

    http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/17/34/99/53/sims_311.png

    another 20 seconds and it would have all been saved.

    Now i cannot play this game for a long time...

    You left it go for 8 hours without saving? :confused::confused::confused: Isn't quicksave on F-something? Longest I'll go without saving in games without autosave is a half hour.

    Since we're talking brands, avoid Nivea young like the plague. I used it a couple of time and it made my skin ten times worse. I thought maybe I was allergic to it, but several of my friends have said it made their skin worse as well.

    Brands you say?
    Lil bit off the point but...I can't use Head and Shoulders shampoo, stings my scalp like fcuk. :mad:

    This isn't very off topic but does anyone know any good type of thing for getting rid of spots, I only have 2 or 3 but they're getting annoying. I got Clearasil ages ago and it teared up my face altogether so I guess I must have sensitive skin or something.
    I've you're willing to spend a bit more, the Vichy NormaDerm range is really good as well

    I'm attempting to pack for my holidays. I'm going for two weeks and I so far have 9 dresses, 7 tops, two skirts, and three pairs of shorts. I think I may need to narrow it down a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,535 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    Yep thats the one. I still find it weird that she quit and moved for him.

    Small world!
    Yeah its fairly weird now.

    The one I use is La Roche Posay...similar to Vichy, both are very good but a bit more pricey!

    Interailling? Seriously pack as little as possible into as small a bag as possible, and don't bring a suitcase on wheels! I nearly threw out half my possessions to make it easier to do all the trekking around. Those 7 tops you think you'll definitely wear? You won't :pac: You'll end up despising them for sitting there being all weighty :P

    I have it narrowed down a good bit now, and I'm bringing a rucksack. I'll probably pack and change everything over the next two days though!

    And wipes. Lottts and lottts of wipes.

    I knew I meant to buy something else, I must get some hand sanitizer also! Anything else essential I should bring that you didn't think of?

    I don't think there was anything we were stuck for, and there were always supermarkets if we needed stuff. Adaptors are the only other thing I can think of. I somehow manage to mess up the whole adaptor thing when I'm abroad, or at least I buy the ones advertised as "European adaptors" and then that type is only used in some countries, or in some hostels in a country and not others...I just don't understand it all! :P

    I completely forgot to answer your question about the Bled hostel on the Travel thread! It was this one...it has good reviews but he was an angry man, at least to us!

    Jumping back a few hours, I know, but still:

    The Nivea after-shave balm in the white bottle can be really good for clearing up the face. It did wonders for me when I first started shaving all those years ago. :P

    Im not impressed at all! Especially when they were so late and i didn't get home until nearly half 6 in the morning.


    Out of curiosity, whats going rate for babysitting?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    I feel your pain, my neighbours usually text my dad to ask me to babysit with a maximum of 30 minutes notice, they have never once been back on time (ever, and I mean that) and for ~3 hours I get like 10 euro ._.

    Once my friend's sister was babysitting for this family with 6 children from 7pm to 11pm. At 10pm, she put the kids to sleep and was expecting the parents to be home at 11-12ish. At midnight she got a call telling her that they'd be a few hours late as they had met some old friends. So she sat there in front of the telly for another few hours. at 4am they rang and apologised, saying that they'd be back in the next half hour.
    She was awakened by the sound of one of the kids running downstairs at 8am, no sign of the parents.
    At 10am, they eventually pulled in and gave her €50.
    THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER BABYSIT.

    That's just not on.
    Happened to me before, as a secretary, got paid €25 and I was there for 6 hours. It's hard to argue when you haven't agreed a rate.
    30 euro would be fine for 3-4 hours I think.

    And nine months later they rang her again asking if she'd babysit for 7 kids...

    Thats unfair, thats just not even worth it!

    They didn't even call me to say when they'd be home! I was told half 1 at the very latest, never again!

    I Wouldn't be a fan myself either, but I'm seriously broke and needed the money but i wish i didn't even bother, they totally took me for a fool!

    30 Euro for 4 kids for over 8 hours is so unfair and they're not the easiest to handle either, and they weren't even sorry about it. Jesus i need a proper job soon!

    Haha all this babysitting talk reminds me of something that happened to my friend a few years ago. There was this young couple who were planning to stay out till about four am so they told my friend who was babysitting she could stay the night in the guest bedroom and they drop her home in the morning. That was grand anyway friend went to bed at a reasonable time, then woke up at six am with the guy asleep in the bed next to her. She got straight out and slept on the couch, and then had to explain why she there to the girlfriend in the morning.
    I don't think they ever asked her to babysit again.
