Her friend Jane went out with a guy named Tim for two weeks. <Not real names> They split up and later Jane found out she was pregnant. Between hoppin and trottin they now have a three year old daughter and they hate each others guts. Last week Tim had the daughter for a day and at some stage she wet herself. Tom bought a 3 pack of underwear in Dunnes for 4euro. When he brought the child home he put the receipt on the table and demanded 2 euro from her for the 2 unused knickers. He thought he was being gracious by paying 2 euro for the one the child was wearing. Here's the good bit. He was stopped by the cops on the way home and the car was lifted for no tax.

In December she went in to an Irish shop, picked their brains and looked at different sizes of something, and then bought online from abroad. The shop abroad sent her the wrong size, and she then tried to change it in the Irish shop. Some cheek.

While it's unfair to waste someone's time and drinking the prosecco etc. is awful scabby, getting a knock off dress can make sense when they looking for 2-3 grand a dress and the only way to know what one is to try them on.....(I bought off a high street shop so I'm scabby in a different way:pac:.) .

Inner city marketing exec who had a different girl in every week despite being fierce ugly and a massive fan of the marching powder. He was insufferable and I used to refer to him as Satan as even to this day, I don't think I've ever met anyone like him. 100% had to be a proper psychopath. Anyway, he had no problem taking things from other people including his friends car, who had to go to work, picked up his keys and walked out cause he wanted to use it. In 40 degree heat, with no air con, took the only big fan in the house into his room bragging that it cost over 200 dollars. Used to take our food, despite leaving notes and asking everyone please do not eat our food. Would walk in and take food, even off our plates. When we got a package from home, ate some of the Irish food (I actually cried) I had enough and I baked muffins one day and filled a couple of them with death sauce(this stuff was lethal) Left them in the kitchen and was sitting playing xbox, he walks in without a word, grabs a muffin and walks out, I watched him go down the corridor, stop dead in his tracks and spit the muffin on the floor and run back to the kitchen to grab milk spewing profanities. Before we left we got our own back a couple of other ways but they can't ever be repeated

Anyway she told me yesterday that the brides future husband had an work accident a while ago and got an INSANE pile of cash. The wedding is taking place in a Hotel not far from the village where she picked the cheapest wedding package (not judging here) and she is being stingy on all corners. She wants the big princess wedding for literally no money. So while their package is cheap she found another way to get the money for the wedding. She has a huge bridal party with 5 bridesmaids and her hen that's in 2 weeks consists of 23 members. My neighbour is in charge of the hangover packs that will set her back a huge load of money. The bride booked make up appointments, tans and everything for them with only paying for the deposit and afterwards rang all bridesmaids with their appointment times and said how much they have to pay for it. When my neighbour confronted her she went on a huge tirade of how she can't spend money on all these things and that it's their job to pay for it. She basically speculates other peoples money, whoever wants a Tshirt for her hen gets one, because it's the girl's that's in charge for the shirts job to pay for it. Along those lines. All in all the wedding will set every bridesmaid back for like 1500 Euro. All bridesmaids together will end up shelling more money out than the wedding itself will cost the bridal couple.
