It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

Watched Hook at the weekend with the youngest as she is sick, it was more for me than her. We were very outdoorsey kids so our house had very few videos/vhs's but one of them was Hook. Whenever I was sick from school it would be put on.

I have watched it many times and never realized how much Christmas features at the start of it (the elf fell asleep before the end so can't remember if its Christmasy at the end also). I was a lovely bit of the spirit in March.

Our mother's day is this coming weekend. I made the mistake of celebrating it on the Irish date last year and it didnt go down well.

It's crazy to think in 2 weeks we will be in the 30's in the weekly countdown and pretty much in April.

For a year with litle happening it seems to be moving at a fair oul lick, though I suspect thats been down to my workload.

Feels weird for me this morning, the kids are back in school today for the first time since Christmas and the house feels empty & quiet!! Great to see them get back & see their friends though, the structure around being back in school will be a huge help to them also.

And it's another sign of things getting back to normal.... any win is a win, even the smallest of wins

I’ll give you a laugh this sunny morning, I was getting dressed and decided I’d wear the red sweater on my morning walk and didn’t really look at the slogan on the front and it wasn’t till I got home and looked it said Noel ( can’t do the graph over the E ) I was wearing a Christmas sweater and met a few people on our walk and no one mentioned it

Well folks at last I have good news, I GOT A JOB!! It's a maternity cover contract but I'm hoping that Ireland will have opened up by the time the end of the contract nears. Such a relief!!

Thank you all so for your amazing support over the past year. You've no idea how much it lifted my spirits xxx

Your post has really cheered me up because so much doom and gloom with lockdown good to hear positive news.

Haven't posted much here lately as work has been mental.

It's a stunninly beautiful day out there now, birds are singing so I'm going to get out on walk now after work.

Weather looks nice for tomorrow so enjoy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Congratulations Caranica and DenMan! All the best with the new jobs! They say good news comes in threes so I’m hoping to report back later on a euromillions win.

Congrats DenMan, fantastic news

DvB

Best of luck with the new job Denman, hope it goes well.

appledrop

That's great news aswell Denman, good to see people getting new jobs in the current climate.

We all need a bit of positivity and good news.

Hope your all looking forward to St. Patrick's Day tomorrow where according to our government and NPHET its to be spent on your own indoors and make sure you only drink water.

2,500 Garda will make sure we are all being good.

I think they have lost the plot altogether!

I won't be breaking any rules but I will be going for a nice walk with my family in local park and I might have a gin and tonic in evening. I'm mad altogether!

tickingclock

Congrats on the new job. Your right 7 months will change a lot. Enjoy the day off tomorrow

Please don't post in this forum again.

You are clearly a bad influence, and the posters here might end up having a glass of wine, or even a beer, now that they've read about your hijinks.

Don't blame me now Posy if you get caught by the Garda or your neighbours buying a bottle of wine in the off licence. The shame of it all.
