Awww! back in my lovely warm bed.. I have to confess that the kitchen was desperately mucky , meaning the floor, as I have M.E and big work like that gets neglected, so now I am really getting it sorted.. There is no porch so in this weather mud gets in ..I cant have Santa crawling down the winding range chimney to a mucky floor! So "just" the floor to wash and am hoping to have the energy later ,,...if he decides to use the other chimney! That room still needs sorting! I am not trading at market the next three months so will do all the big house jobs and any painting that needs doing and maybe the garden...LOVE these domestic days.

I have a challenge for you so

Years ago my dr said TCP was the thing! For me it numbed the throat so stopped the coughing. How can anything be a waste of TIME? Of money I can understand..

Well, it's a figure of speech. Having said that, if you spend time doing something and it doesn't work, it was a waste of time.

Knocking the cats water bowl over was definitely TA but then having to do the kitchen floor was fine.. TA that I had not realised the squeegee needed a new head, but grand that a cloth worked grand. Life is a dolly mix of experiences!

Ah, we all have our own pet remedies and ways and if they work for us, grand.. Thankfully I have not had a bad throat for years, but TCP is on my shopping list as I used the last in a small burn last week. Each to their own. NB that bottle has lasted since I came to Ireland and that is nearly 2 decades...I am happy with TCP you are happy with salt water!

Got an unexpected refund of €105 from AXA yesterday. A lovely bonus in Christmas week I thought. However to fix the broken boiler today cost me €95. I might spend the other €10 on a bottle of wine for tonight.

Im so tired at the moment I can barely function.I had to be almost physically dragged from the bed this morn,slept through alarms and just in a coma. Started on the chocs as soon as I hit work and couldnt stop all day so now I feel even more comatose.
Every minute is like an hour in work this week and then I got training on new stuff today that wont be needed until next month.WTF. I can barely remember my name at the moment not to mind anything else.What a waste of time,I was actually struggling to stay awake during it.:(

And despite all my moaning I know I will stay up late again tonight and I will have a glass or two so I will just copy and paste this tomorrow..Self inflicted TAs today.:pac:

I get this too. I feel comatose until late afternoon and swear I will have an early night but then at around 8pm it's like I just come to life and can sing/dance/drink til the wee hours. Fall into bed at 2am and then start the whole cycle again the next day. Maddening

Come on Colser, woman up! Its the festive season. Be festive and worry about tiredness and hangovers in January.

That said, my TA today is that since finishing work at lunch time I have been stuck to the couch drifting in and out of sleep. This after only 5 drinks last night. :mad:

I want to feel Christmassy but I cant! My OH hates me, her best friend hates me. My parents are only talking to me because I'm their child and they have to. Working on Christmas eve, still not finished shopping. Couldn't be ársed finishing shopping. Exams in 3 months. I have spent the last week panicking about my lack of Christmas cheer and now I have resigned myself to the fact that it just ain't gonna happen for me this year

Do you not qualify for a medical card? I think you said you are on illness benefit? Maybe phone Citizens Info and see what you are entitled to that you are not getting?

Thanks for this. I applied online and it seems I'm eligible, just need to get my GP to sign the form and should have the card in 15 days.

He did suggest to me the last day I was there that I should apply, but I guess I've been putting it off because I just want to get back to work. That's not going to happen in the next couple of months though, and I'll definitely have a lot more GP visits before then.

Turns out it covers prescription medication too, which is great!

Really sad to see doctors gouging repeat patients. I'm lucky in that my doctor is fairly sound and wouldn't dream of charging a second time of his first diagnosis/treatment didn't take.

In fairness I've been seeing him at least twice a month since August, but he was aware I had VHI and could claim back €40 each time, so it was only costing me €15. No VHI anymore though, and actually he did only charge €35 last time, I guess he feels sorry for me being broke. Also he's not charged me at all a couple of times in the past. In fairness I guess I'm his best customer, LOL! And he is very good. Oh and he'd never not see me if I didn't have money, a few times I've had to pay him at the next visit for the previous one, so that's sound of him.

Here's a more than trivial annoyance though - he's dying of cancer. Lovely man with a young family, it's very sad.

The amount of people who nearly crashed into us today because they weren't looking ahead but looking for a parking space, was crazy. We actually needed the two of us to look out for the selfish gits. Just because it's Christmas doesn't mean you should lose your mind!!!

I was using one of those thingys that you push through an apple and it cores and slices it. I sliced through that fleshy part below the base of my thumb, and broke the damn thing too. It's so sore:(.
As the kids and OH got their holidays today I keep thinking it's Friday. I chilled a bottle of wine and all , and am now guiltily having some. Well, maybe not too guiltily .

They are €1.50 in Tesco's. Was just down there & got 2.

But my God the place is like a zombie apocalypse. People pushing trollies & not looking where they are going. One person pushed his trolley around a bend on two wheels, only marginly got out the the way in time.

People stop dead in the middle of aisles totally oblivious to the holdup they are causing.


I really pity people who work in retail

Sitting watching my little sister cry because she was dumped by her bf of 6 years by text message and he's moved onto the next girl already. I'm not trivially annoyed, I'm fit to murder him.

Finally started my Christmas shopping today. It was actually ok, I barely had to queue at all. But why oh why did every single shop have to have their heating up so bloody high. I was absolutely parched when I got home. It wasn't eben that cold outside today!
