People who spend the whole day talking about weight loss and diets.

Speaking of Weight. I printed off our wedding photos, there lovely photos but all I can see is that I look huge. Annoyed at myself for feeling this way
Everyone else is telling how well I look but I can't see it

It's an example of what can happen if you force the power of speech back when it's not ready and you lose your inner monologue.

I gained 2 stone from the time we got engaged to when we got married. It was 4 months

The way I look at it is, I felt great on the day, everyone told me I looked nice and seemed to mean it, I had a great day and I don't care if I look a bit porky in the photos!

Both colleagues and housemates are notorious for this. And in both work and home, the bin is about 2 feet from the sink. It's not even a chore!

See what you started:D

Buying something and then someone saying to you after "oh did you use that 20% voucher?"

Um...no because you are only telling me about it now!

* TA: the knowing look the cashier gives you when you return said item so that you can re-buy it using the voucher

*TA: not wanting to go to such efforts on a rainy Friday but feeling guilty about sniffing over a ten euro saving

It's dangerous (and usually fatal) when I try to fill awkward silences Babble babble (insert inappropriate comment) babble babble. Still, least I don't talk about the f.ucking weather. Or f.ucking weekend plans.

I hate office small talk. I sit near a window at work, and today is especially bad for gimps standing up and looking out at the "good old Oirish rain". Fcuk off back to your own desks you twats!

When you put a reminder into your phone about something, usually just one or two words such as 'pay bill' or 'go to toilet':D and then when the alarm sounds and you look at your phone you haven't a notion what the one word hint relates to. Just got a reminder that just says 'alarm' and I have NO clue what its about or no recollection of putting in into my phone

Dear Power of Speech

There is a mega HOT dad whose son is in my son's class and the kids are friendly with each other. I lose all ability to conduct myself as a regular human being around him when I bump into him at the school. It's either struggling to get any words out at all or waffling like a lunatic on day release from the asylum. I pushed the buggy with my youngest in it into an electricity pole when I chatting with him once I was that flustered!

Turns out that was actually just the alarm ringing on my phone

Pennies have lovely kitten heels for ten euro (they're about 1.5/2inches). They come in black, colbat, beige and red. They're so comfy, and really easy to walk in. I am not home right now but when I get home later I'll take a pic and show you, they might suit?

What are kitten heels please?

Satan's shoes. You know the actual heel tip you'd get replaced on proper high heels when they start to wear down a bit? Imagine someone stuck them onto a pair of ballerina flats and you have kitten heels.

I got married in August of last year and I was nearly 3 stone heavier than I am now.
Every couple look stunning on their wedding day, everyone is different and we all look different but on your wedding day I don't think anyone can look bad. It's all the glow and the happiness and the smiling.

People who leave their dishes and cutlery in the sink expecting someone else to wash up.

Pity you can't just put her dirty dishes on her desk

"Flatform" shoes.... *shudder*

I just want to shake any one wearing them and tell them they look like the token nerdy school child in a 90s kids cartoon

I've never heard of these. Are they like what someone with a "club foot" would wear?

The kind of shoes I can't stand are Crocs. They are bloody hideous. They are supposed to be really comfortable and practical (you can wear them into the shower if you are staying in hostels etc.) but I still won't go there, even though comfort and practicality are my prerequisites for footwear.

Been a very long time since I wore anything but flat heels.. in fact as it is so wet and muddy where I live I wear rubber clogs now... got fed up of ruining shoes.. I always wear long clothes so it matters not.. seen the term kitten heels a few times

Had a pair of the fuller ones for winter someone bought me and they were bliss....Lost one when I moved and was so upset..

When one of my longhaired cats come in wet and rubs my bare legs repeatedly as I am trying to get his food ready.. amazing how much water a long haired cat can carry in his fur...;)

Hearing grown ups talking to each other like children. Crossing the road at lunch time a man in his 50s or 60s turned to a lady about the same age and told her to be careful. What!
