What's the dress like?!
It's the multiway dress
I wore it the last way! I'll throw up a pic in KYL later
Had an unreal night and a friend of mine got a lifetime achievement award. So proud of him.0 -

I don't believe it is selfish or stupid for you to be upset about it to be honest.I have a question that I feel a bit weird asking but I'm gonna go for it my anyways..
It was me & my bfs 2 year anniversary on Wednesday, and I spent 120euro on a present he wanted, then as a little extra surprise I got him an after shave set for 50euro. So all together I spent 170euro on him.
He said he would buy my present when he got paid, which is today, but he's now saying he can't afford to and will get it some other time.
He works a full time job and gets paid more than me, we live together so we share bills so it's not that he can't afford it.
Anyway, I suppose the question I'm asking is I feel a little hurt after going to such lengths to get him a pressie and he didn't even get me a card.. But is it really selfish and stupid to be upset over such a thing??
You say he can afford it and he says he can't afford it, has he any other outgoings? Loans to be paid back, car tax/insurance, house insurance, medical bills, etc?
If he doesn't have any other outgoings and he can afford it, but just didn't bother his backside, then tbh you need to speak to him.
Even if he didn't have then money to buy you an expensive gift, he could have done something small for you, making you lunch/dinner/breakfast in bed. Ordered a take away, got a DVD and some drinks etc.0 -

A card would have even been nice
Nope, nothing like that to be paid, ust the every day bills like esb, which I pay half of, and he only puts like a tenner towards that every week...
I really do feel stupid and petty but I went out of my way to get him something he really wanted and liked and I don't even get a card 0 -
UPDATE :
Even though he says he can't afford to get me anything, I said "So if you can't afford anything, I guess we're not doing anything for paddys weekend?"
His reply was "No, we're going out and getting drunk!!"
Which I don't see how he can afford, if he's as bad off as he's claiming to be
Just say it to him out straight, then.0 -

Wait...have I got this right, he pays €10 euros per week towards the utility bills and you pay the rest?A card would have even been nice Nope, nothing like that to be paid, ust the every day bills like esb, which I pay half of, and he only puts like a tenner towards that every week...

Or do you split the bills/rent 50/50 and he pays €10 towards his share?
If my bf did this to me, we'd be having a serious chat.UPDATE :

I agree with this.Just say it to him out straight, then.
Is it only recently he's gotten like this Sar_Bear? Has any of his behaviour towards you/your relationship changed recently?0 -

I had two friends who were always confused when I said I'd stall down (meaning come down for a visit) and my bf hates when I say I'll dag in somewhere (meaning run in very quickly). :pac:
I've never heard either of those! Depends on the region I suppose, I got the original sound out meaning straight away. It's mad though, the accent difference between Cork and Dublin even is so much bigger than Paris - south of France, and it's a tiny fraction of the distance apart!Some absolute scumbags broke into my friends car last night and burnt it out :mad: Thankfully she is safe but the car is burnt to a shell along with a lot of her belongings, college books and I think laptop in it too :mad:
That's awful I never understand what enjoyment people like that get out of destroying other people's things.The Lovely Muffin wrote: »No fruit, or fancy equipment. I had a quick look at some of the ingredients on Tesco.ie and they are coming up at €9.80, excluding the cookie cutter, so I might be able to make them, just need to see if I can find a cheap 9cm cookie cutter, if I can't find one, I'll probably just do fresh fruit and vanilla ice cream. Easy to do and no cooking involved.
Odd question - I've got two pairs of shoes which I got in Dunnes about three weeks ago, but can't find the receipt, have looked absolutely everywhere, there are no other clothes/shoes/bags etc in there that I was, so could I exchange the shoes for phone credit or food or something? It's ridiculously odd/strange I know, but I need to change them this week otherwise Dunnes won't change them (afaik) after the 28th day unless they are faulty, which they aren't.
I paid by debit card, if that makes a difference? Although I purchased other items (food) that day as well, so I wouldn't have an itemized bill, just a bank statement showing the total I paid.
Do you really need the cookie cutter or could you just use a big glass or mug? Or failing that, do rectangular ones and cut them with a knife?
I think Dunnes might maybe do an exchange, but probably be worth ringing to check before going in if it's a bit of a trek away.0 -

I hadn't even thought of that, looks like I'll be making the dessert nowconfusticated wrote: »Do you really need the cookie cutter or could you just use a big glass or mug? Or failing that, do rectangular ones and cut them with a knife?
Thank you
Thank you, I'll be in there this evening anyway, so will check for sure.confusticated wrote: »I think Dunnes might maybe do an exchange, but probably be worth ringing to check before going in if it's a bit of a trek away.
I can only imagine the looks I'll get from the manager/sales assistant.
