Congrats on the interview, hope you get the job.SarahBeep! wrote: »Work wasnt bad today!!
Interview went well yesterday, got through to the 2nd round
Yeah I got it done in Elverys, there's no where else near to me that does it unfortunately. Luckily it was free.Where did you get the analysis done? Elverys? It sounds like you're getting prescription insoles.I pay €400, PER INSOLE for my son. It's insane.
How do you manage to pay €400? and a few times a year? I would cry if mine cost that much.Flat as pancakes. He's double jointed and has hyper-mobility too so he's NEVER going to grow out of it. And he needs new insoles 3 or 4 times a year.
€400 is like five weeks of my social welfare money and that's without buying food, paying bills etc. :eek:0 -

I have hyper mobility in my feet and nowhere else.
The conversation kind of went like this:
Podiatrist: "Your ankles are really flexible."
Me: "Aw cool, I've never been told I'm flexible."
Pod: "Yeah, you don't want your ankles to be that flexible."
Me:
It's also one of the reasons my toe is messed up.0 -

Secret made up in my head recipe.
I marinate the chicken in a olive oil and curry powder paste. Then throw it on the pan to very lightly brown the chicken. Throw some peppers in. Move it all to a saucepan and add in some chicken stock. Thicken with some cornflour and a bit of tomato puree, then I leave it to simmer for however long I want to. The slower the simmer the better it tastes.
Very simple recipe, can take literally 15 minutes to make it if you're in a hurry.
Loads of recipes out there for curry, so many of them are complicated but this tastes perfect. Mum got a similar recipe years ago when she worked in a restaurant was trying to remember what it was so kinda threw this all together to try and emulate it. 0 -
I didn't know what hypermobility was...so I googled it, and it brought up photos of things I can do! I thought everybody could touch their thumb off their wrist, fold fingers over each other, it has been pointed out before that my fingers bend back weirdly far but I thought that was the only weird thing! 0

I'm the same. My fingers bending all directions is my party piece. Had to get lots of physio on my ankles and shoulders for it tho. Having a jelly body isn't much fun.I didn't know what hypermobility was...so I googled it, and it brought up photos of things I can do!

As if €300 wasn't enough.It's €50 for the appointment first. So it cost €350 altogether.
Although these have a lifetime guarantee and it should be years upon years before I have any reason to replace them.

Whenever my bf squeezes my hand is just goes like rubber, whereas if I squeeze his, after a few seconds all I hear is "ow, stop".
I honestly don't know how you manage it, along with bills, rent, car tax/insurance/petrol etc. :eek:I've been working full time since I was 16....not working now cos I'm back in college but I finish on the 22nd and I've work lined up for the following week... And it's €400 per foot;)
I would freak if I had to pay the guts of a grand for my feet. :eek:0 -

And its amazing what you end up considering "not necessary". I do remember a particularly poor point in studenthood where eating anything other than spuds was a luxury. Only for fortnightly feeds at the mothers, I would have got scurvy or something.
I cant understand some who think that stuff like getting highlights or bikini waxes are "necessities"
But they are! What are you talking about crazy lady?? All I have to get me through this life is my smooth bikini line and my perfectly highlighted hair 0 -
My Dad wouldn't, he doesn't do many things in life that aren't of benefit to him and him alone. Luckily my mother is slightly more generous!
:)
Yup yup...My son's ''dad'' hasn't seen him in years, used to drink everything we had, stole money from my son and left me with a HEAP of debt. However, the best thing he ever did for us was walk out:D Life is awesome with no sh1tebags in it:D:D0 -

I deleted that comment just as you quoted it, I had second thoughts on it, he's a very selfish man but at the same time sometimes he'd do anything for me, so my brain is conflicted, in case you're wondering where it's gone My Dad isn't a bad guy, he should just never have married my mom or had kids (and the marriage is her fault because it was her idea, therefore it's her fault they had a kid too, he's lovely but not very clever so she gets the blame!:p) 0 -

The cooking club has some really good looking recipes by curry addict! I#m dying to try them after the examsThe Lovely Muffin wrote: »Any chance of any recipes? I'm mad after a good chicken curry. I've got two recipes so far to try, but wouldn't mind having a few more lol.
I think your son and me might be twins. Except for me being a decade or so older, and not your kid and all :P My insoles cost €800 about 2 years ago and I need another new pair badly, no money for them atm though. Hopefully I might be able to get some during the summer if I get enough hours from work!I pay €400, PER INSOLE for my son. It's insane.

Oh I feel kinda bad now, I don't even know him and I was cross at him on his birthday...I hope your dinner was nice though!
I've been inviting my brother over for dinner once a week or so since just before the exams, it's his first year in college and he's just eating crap while he's studying and doing exams. He came over one week and I apologised that the veg were a bit soggy cos it was a day-old curry. He said that the fact that they were veg was the important bit because he'd been on the verge of scurvy.And its amazing what you end up considering "not necessary".
