Having to apologise to the nurse for having hairy legs because its too short to wax and if I shave it it'll be too short to wax next week in time for holidays so its that awkward moment you're walking around like an unkempt cretin

Why would that bother her, unless she has to machete her way through it??

I am ridiculously anal about body hair. Usually there's not a blade of hair on my body apart from my head and my eyebrows. I have my own wax pot at home so, when I see hair, I wax it off. I wax everywhere, sides of face, lip, chin, arms, if there's any stray ones on my tummy, bikini, legs, toes. Doesn't matter how fluffy/blonde they are they'll be waxed off. Usually it wouldn't bother me waxing now and having short hairs come up cause I could wax them as soon as they were up enough but ill be on my holidays so won't be able to have the wax pot at the ready, and I'll be a giant hairy mess in a dress.

So, when she's there and my legs are on show and you can see the hair from space, obviously I have to apologise and tell her usually they're much smoother I'm just waiting to wax them, she doesn't seem to notice and then I feel like a simpleton worrying about something so ridiculous but bleh.


You'd swear I had nothing else to worry about I spend so much time trying to battle my hirsutism

All in all, way too much info for me.

Rubberlegs

Being a total short arse, so that petite size jeans are still too long . Turning them up would make me look special, I don't wear heels, so just have to try my best not to walk on the ends of them. Which I inevitably do, and end up with raggedy ends

60 euro for hollywoods in salons in this town but one salon runs half price waxing day so it's only 30. Absolutely ridiculous.

Apple are at it again with this Watch bollixology. The whole world has apparently gone bananas for a stupid-looking watch that costs about three hundred quid, is too small to use, too big to be elegant, needs to talk to the telephone in order to make sense of its little world and probably needs charging every five minutes. If anyone can explain to me why I need to replace my fifteen-year-old Citizen, which tells the time perfectly at-a-glance, is a good deal smaller, lighter and more elegant, and runs for about eighteen months on a coin-cell costing about a dollar, then I am a pimple on the arse-cheek of the Marquess of Queensbury's auntie.

Simple answer: Fools & money = easily parted. This is the sort of product that appeals to generation Zero. It's an expensive and fairly useless gadget, but that's exactly why they'll buy it, just so they can say that they have the latest gadget. Things don't get a chance to break anymore, they're replaced with the newest fad gadget.

You forgot to state the thickness of the soup and the "flavour" . Vegetable I bet.

One day recently I had the kids out and about with me and completely forgot that they hadn't eaten until they started getting more moany than usual with me.
To keep them going, I decided to stop in one of the larger Irish coffee shop franchises to get them a snack. They both decided on a juice and a plain crossaint each. Nearly €7.
What was even worse was that we were on our way into Dunnes where I could have gotten the same for about €2.


My mother tends to ring me in work when she herslef is bored in work. She tends to rabble on quite a bit and I go into autopilot of 'yeah's' and 'uh-ums' when she is jabbering away. Just now I have hung up the phone after realising I was uh-umming to nobody. She called, we had our chat, said our goodbyes, and I stayed with the receiver to my ear still on autopilot. I have no idea how long this went on for.

Just sat down for lunch in work and some bollox threw out my fork. Eating ham and turkey with a spoon is zero craic

You think that's bad! Went to make my lunch today and took out my butter. When I used it yesterday it was nearly full as I had only used it once or twice before. Today......it was about 3/4 gone!!!! :eek:

Now there are about 4 or 5 butters in the work fridge, and a few people are out on hols, so there is only a handful of people in the office. It is like someone realised they needed a hunk of butter to cook their dinner and just scooped out mine.

I'm really annoyed. :mad:

KERSPLAT!

That's nearly as bad a the ****s that insist on putting more toast on the butter than butter on the toast. Disgusting.

I'm annoyed and conflicted over breaking a promise. I tore into a girl a close friend of mine was friends with. There was bad blood between me and her for ages but she got full of whiskey on Monday night and started mouthing at me. That was fine, I have an acid tongue and gave just as good as I got. After all was said, they got up to go to the smoking area. They were absolutely ages so i go out, for the craic, and I stand listening. As We're the only people left in the pub, it's not hard to hear what they're saying and they're not holding back either as clearly they think I'm nowhere nearby.

To be fair to my friend, she didn't do much of the mouthing, but she engaged the other girl, she contributed a little but mostly stood there laughing. I walked out of there, said nothing at the time but text her when I got home and told her she was a snake. She was all apologises, saying we've done worse to each other and that she was sorry but that it was better off forgotten about. I told her to gwan with herself I was done with her.

Thing is - she's going to a wedding this weekend and the past two months she's asked me to do her tan/makeup/hair for the wedding. I know she doesn't have a lot of money so going to get it done else where isn't really an option.

I'm conflicted on whether to do it even though she's a snake, because I did promise, or let her go to the wedding looking like crap. I'm annoyed with myself that I'm even entertaining doing it still, but a promise is a promise

Sod her. How would you have felt if it had happened after you'd done the tan/makeup and hair for the wedding for her? A friend is someone who has always got your back, not someone who bitches behind it.

Clumsiness/stupid ideas. I put the hot glass plate from the combi/microwave, into the sink and ran the cold tap, without thinking about it, and of course the fricking thing smashed.

She's a cnut. Forget about her
