Was babysitting earlier, went grand. 2, 3 and 5 year old. Trying to keep them entertained is the thing. Watching RTE junior, Sean the Sheep. Why the hell after a few episodes is there ads for 10 minutes? Ads for hair dye, home insurance and mobile phones? Kids went apesh1t. Lost the remote for the telly.
Why are these ads on this station?

I'm dreading wrapping the presents. I'm so bad at it that it basically ends up as mostly sellotape with little gaps reavealing the present. My sister in law always has all the presents wrapped to perfection with little bows and ribbons attached.

Fcuking superglue . I bought some because I'd a couple of Christmas decorations that needed fixing. Firstly I thought I had the lid off, and squeezed it, but it all oozed out down the sides of the tube and over my fingers. Then I managed to glue Santa to the top of the table, and when I went to pull him off again I broke him in half. Everywhere I laid the tube down has left a patch of glue, and my fingers look like I've some peeling skin condition.

Ah here. You corrupted Santa!

Ordered something from Amazon and it was dispatched on the 28th of November from China.

It still hasn't arrived yet.

Checking the tracker I was provided has told me that it has reached the country of destination two days ago, but the courier service I'm using hasn't seen any package for me at all.

I have no idea where it might be and I was really hoping it'd be a nice little Christmas present to myself, but it's starting to seem like it won't come until after.

Humph.

China...it's in Portlaoise or Athlone with customs men arguing about how much they're going to ass-rape you for...

Merry Christmas

Hopefully not. They've used a service where it gets rerouted through Holland, so it's essentially being shipped from the Netherlands to Northern Ireland.

So.. no, as you so colourfully put it, "ass-raping" for me.

I'm the same. My sister suggested that she would wrap her own present because I would make such a mess! :O

BoneyArseBogman, I had a similar TA yesterday.
Ordered a much wanted book off Amazon and realised too late that I forgot to include my Parcel Motel ID code on my UK delivery address. (It goes to the Antrim depot and they sort it for me.)
"No biggy, " I thought "I'll use the Contact Seller option and explain the situation."
Sent the seller a quick message politely asking them to include the code on the address but whilst I got a confirmation email from Amazon that the message was received, I've heard nothing from the actual seller.
Also TA'd that it took me this long to realise that the reason my goods ordered throughout the year have taken so long is because I forgot to put my damn ID code next to my name on the address. *facepalm*
Sorted it now, though, so hopefully I won't have to keep pestering the lovely people at Parcel Motel's customer care desk everytime I order something online. :rolleyes:

I don't care if it's being delivered on the back of Tibetan monks. I just want to know that it's actually somewhere.

Do you have a tracking number at all, begins with R and ends with CN?

All of the nursing staff and doctors were lovely, my only TAs were that I was last on the surgery list so I had to hang around all day and there was no atm in the hospital so my OH had to go into town to take money out to pay for the parking. You have no idea how long it took me to type this post; there were typos everywhere, damn thosd lovely painkillers

I also have a sudden loving feeling for everyone on boards, definitely time to go to bed!

That might also remove the varnish from the table top, though, and I seem to remember acetone is not formica-friendly either... There's a superglue remover which you should be able to find easily enough, it's sold in little tubes. I'm not sure what the active ingredients are, though, but I don't think it contains acetone, the one I had it didn't smell like it.

Mmm. Cyanoacrylate's Nemeses are few. Some say WD-40, petroleum jelly and certain margarines can soften it a bit as well.

I went to see star wars this afternoon thinking the sooner I do it the less likely I am to see spoilers. Thanks to people on facebook purposely spreading spoilers I managed to find one.

On Reddit, the mods of /r/4chan were adding spoilers for Star Wars to the tags/flairs of every post there, so that if any are upvoted enough, they'll appear on the main section.

Such insufferable arseholes.

Anyone who posts/shares pictures on facebook that have some sort of celebrity allegedly quoting some bull**** while looking philosophically into the distance, its normally something like "loyalty is everything" or "you dont know me or why i am the way i am or what my struggles are" or some other type of cringe worthy nonsense.

Canis Lupus

People who use the phrase 'Wake Up!' on social media etc.

As a general rule of thumb if a post starts with 'Wake Up!' what will follow will be racist, bigoted or conspiracy drivel.

The baby has been awake on and off since the early hours. I would see to him, by popping his soother in and then get back to sleep.
Eventually he has woken me up enough times so that i am now completely awake.. and he has gone back to sleep

Gift bags are the solution to this! Put it all in the bag, bit of tissue paper on top, sorted!

My TA this morning is that annoying whistley ringtone that some people still have as their sms ringtone. You don't hear it that often anymore thankfully, but it still annoys me every time I hear it. I heard it like 10 times on the luas this morning in a 15 minute journey!

Also, people who keep sniffling and sniffling and won't blow their nose, eurgh!
