we've paid deposit and first months rent for an appartment, it's just up the road from me, I wont have far to move! It was the only one that had gas heating not those sh!tty storage heaters. Looked at a lot of places and there was nearly something wrong with all of them, most of them had piece of crap old cookers, one place all it had was a tiny little microwave/convection oven etc etc. There's always something, then some really lovely places but right on a busy road which is a big no no, anyway this place is grand, location is dead handy, will be moving in at the start of March.
It is almost impossible to find somewhere remotely decent in Dublin.
Especially if your looking for a one bed place.
I despise those cheap hobs.
My friend lived in a place once,The shower was in the kitchen right by the oven....and all it had was curtain for privacy. In a houseshare. :eek:
Glad to hear ye found someplace decent, and near to you too.

I'm sure you did haha!:pac: You can do it though, it'll take a little bit of time!Mon, still have to finish that game, I spoke too soon saying I was nearly finished
but damn, so many exit signs, the last time I had to stop playing it coz all the jumping /falling makes me nauseous
Which Asian supermarket was that, was it in Dublin? Would love to try it.
The jumping/falling is the best bit though, otherwise it's just running lol! Nice one on the apt too, sounds good!
You're moving too? If tetanus shots are needed, you're probably better off in a barn tbh...some places can be so so so bad!What ya gonna do with the Tempeh Guage?
I got some in The Hopsack.....I'm kind of scared of trying it out.
How goes the house hunting Los?
I'm looking too. It is such a headwreck.
Saw a place last week, beautiful new build. Best of everything.
The place was crawling. I should have had a tetanus shot leaving it. I have seen things that can be repeated in polite company.
How is Carlow treating you Mon?
Carlaaaaa is treating me good thanks RAG week atm, so it's basically lectures, sleep, eat, drink, dance, sleep...and repeat for 5 days. Going for a platinum week haha!
How are you, other than being stressed with househunting?0 -

The only thing it doesnt have is electric shower but it is a proper shower and not a shower over a bath so I hope that doesnt get to me too much, I think it'll be all right when I know there's not gona be other people there stealing all the hot water.
Yikes, that sounds awful, can't even imagine, it's bad enough in my house at the moment having to walk through the kitchen constantly to get to the bathroom.Master of Nothing wrote: »I'm sure you did haha!:pac: You can do it though, it'll take a little bit of time!

Ye I just wish I didnt get into too much that it makes me feel like I'm actually falling and jumping, I have to stop playing sometimes or I'd throw up
How you holding up with RAG week MoN, I felt hungover just being in college today without any drinking :P0 -
Vertigo eh? I'd hate to have that. Would ruin so much fun for meYe I just wish I didnt get into too much that it makes me feel like I'm actually falling and jumping, I have to stop playing sometimes or I'd throw up How you holding up with RAG week MoN, I felt hungover just being in college today without any drinking :P
At least you're nearly through it tbh!
Holding up just fine as it happens! Been out drinking for the last 4 nights now (if you include tonight, as I'm heading to a house party once I type this reply), and I feel fine tbh! Lol with college:pac: We had people actually turning up to class drunk today, and yesterday
Fun times or what? What made you feel that way in college anyway? 0 -

Ah I don't think I have vertigo, I'm not scared of heights, I don't have a problem with heights usually, my mother does suffer with vertigo, she couldn't go up the stairs in stephens green shopping centre etc, I'm not like that at all. It just makes me feel like I'm actually falling so I would feel the same as if I'm on a rollercoaster or something, it's not like vertigo where everything is spinning.
ughh dunno how you do that, it's rag week in dcu too, not that I noticed lol.
I dunno it was just that particular class, booooooringgggg :P
wow that's a lot of kittys there ^_^
yay his old avatar is back 0 -
The one on Drury Street. It was in the big fridges on the first aisle, just before the tofu.
Also, Fallon & Byrne had chocolate peanut butter in stock.
Today was a good day for food shopping
There was no tempeh in there today anyway, you definitely mean the one on drury street and not the one on georges st beside laser? And does it say tempeh on it?!
I got chocolate peanut butter in fallon and byrne today
It doesnt taste too chocolately but it gives the peanut butter a milder taste, I likes!0 -

Yep, definitely Drury Street! I'm not sure how often they get it in, I'm usually in every weekend and only found it for the first time last Saturday. It's a white rectangular block with "Tempeh" on the label and the rest of the label is in what looks like Dutch! I can take a pic of the packaging when I get home if you like so you at least know what to keep an eye out for.0 -

yay his old avatar is back It's all to do with how your inner ear works on balance, and percieves the world around you. Sometimes that falling feeling can be fun, but only when on a bus or something...like when it goes down bumpy country lanes for example
I lived anyway, gave up on the last night since my body hated me and wanted sleep.
And now, two weeks later, I'm in the thick of it...exams flying at me left, right and centre!:pac:
How's the aul college going for ya anyway? Must be glad this is the last year!
Aye, old avatar, and it seems he's the only mod in veggie land now too!0 -

Went on a big food shopping spree today. I have always had a vegetarian diet but go through phases of eating really well, and just eating shite. And for the past couple of months it's been the latter!
Anyway everything I got today was vegan...I go through phases of that too
Got some of those Nakd bars for the first time today...they are AMAZING! And got some tofu and some of those Linda Mc Cartney country pies. They are the only meat substitute things I like. Quorn makes me sick. And loads of veg and fruit. And I already have rice and lentlis and couscous etc...
The guy I live with doesn't eat dairy so he let me try some coconut milk...I actually really like it! Would like to try coconut milk ice cream. I love everything coconut
Cooking time!0 -

I love the cocoa orange ones... on the other hand the choco ones that are the only ones in my local tesco are disgusting.0 -

I know what you mean, people assume you're a health freak just coz you're veggie, but I know I've not been eating the best the last while and have been trying to clean up my act recently too.
Helps that I inherited a ton of rice cake products from a competition my mother won, so I've got those rice cake bars with the chocolate in the middle and the chocolate coated mini rice cakes etc for a healthier snack. The rice cake bars are lovely, the chocolate in them kinda reminds me of kinder buenos, I haven't seen them about much though.
and coconut milk is really yummy, it makes lovely porridge if you cook your porridge in it, you'd have no need to sweeten it. Tesco never have it though.0 -

Only the catholic ones :pac:Jesus loves us veggies today
I had a Nakd bar yesterday, the gingerbread one...very tasty! Also piced up some flaxseed capsules, purely to see if they actually help with brain function due to the omega oils they can deliver, or if it'll be like a placebo effect. 0 -

gingerbread typical :pac:
Think the flaxseed ones arent the best, need DHA and EPA pure I'd say, but some study where people took in no omega 3 showed them having high levels of it
I saw today that the number of vegans in the US has doubled in the last 2 years. Big increase in a short time.0 -
Its all about the ginge :cool::)
I seen that study too as it happens, and more than likely the EPA and DHA were being liberated from plant based foods, and stored & used in the body as per normal. I guessed using the flaxseed ones would be better than none, sure it'll take time to notice anything, if at all.
Thats a good thing to hear, and I hope they made the choice without any influence other than their own free thinking, and seeing another path ahead of them. Good luck to them, is all I can say 0 -

:eek: Hi!anothernight wrote: »*reads last page*
The only time I had a Nakd bar was that one time that we had to go pick up my friends in town at 4am, with no money on them and nowhere to go, and we sat in Dec's car for ages trying to come up with what to say to everyone's parents, as we were all lying about where we were. At 5am I got really hungry and found the bar stuffed into the glovebox. Hunger is not the best spice. The Nakd bar was horrible!
Hello people. I just need to say that I miss Tesco's tiger bread, and I thought you'd understand my suffering. And yes, bread reminded me of a thread (ugh I hate that it rhymes...).
Those bars are really nice, maybe you had one that was in the glovebox too long, or had one of the other varieties? Also, I never knew they stopped tiger bread! One of my housemates only got some a few weeks ago, so thought it was still around. Did you all fabricate enough stories for everyone? 0 -

Nah, it was just that he obviously didn't know what flavour I'd like and he picked the worst one. I think it had some fruit that I didn't like and I could taste it, or maybe it was the combination of fruit, idk. It's too long ago for me to remember. And no, we couldn't come up with an excuse for me to get home so late and my friends so much earlier than they should've. It was years ago anyway.
Wait, so they actually did stop selling tiger bread? I thought it was just my local Tesco. 0 -
I think there is one with pecan nuts, and raisins or something. I left that one alone, as it didnt look appealing. Maybe that's the one you had. Ah well you still got home in the end, and are still here to tell the tale, so it didnt end too badly hehe!anothernight wrote: »Nah, it was just that he obviously didn't know what flavour I'd like and he picked the worst one.

I'm not sure about tiger bread in all Tesco stores, but I can check next time I'm in Tesco here and let you know. It would be a shame to see it gone forever:(
Interesting video here I'm watching, when I should be studying:

I'm off watchable things until exams (stupid exams!!) are over, but that looks interesting so I will check it out some time after the 17th of May.

Vegetarian pizza, and green salad are pretty alright. Dessert would be awesome! Did you find anywhere specifically veggie, or is it still pretty hard to find places to eat out, which even have a veggie option with no fish?
I was at Langtons Hotel in Kilkenny on Wednesday for a wedding, I asked them about vegetarian options for the meal, I was given three options! I chose the one which had pasta and vegetables, with garlic bread. It was delicious 0 -

we had the nicest food today in some place that P had a voucher for (someone gave him a voucher for downloading something lol!)
