    saw the story online last night, annoying, completely blandsville, no imagination afforded to the design, inside or out, like it was inspired by one of those Dublin suburban red brick apartment blocks from about 1998, another design previously denied permission was aesthetically nicer…the fûck !?💀

    TA : I’m in lie-on city, comfy, 11.05 am, doorbell ! a member of a certain indigenous nomadic persons, asking if I’d like to avail of cleaning services they provide. I refused, as I’m doing so they are not holding eye contact, but glancing away behind me into the hall, 👿 get away to fûck ! getting me out of my bed firstly and that behaviour.

    When you are getting loads done ... and then you stop and you can't get going again.

    Well, it could be worse, they might not have washed their hands at all.

    This is the reason why I never, ever eat the complimentary peanuts, snacks etc left on tables.

    that it’s 3.00am, Sunday morning and I’m looking for my missing grey sock. 🤡 I arrived home this evening, with both on my feet, took off my shoes and socks, since….one of my socks….has disappeared…

    Not in the wash basket, not in my bed, not under my bed, in the bathroom or anywhere it could reasonably be expected to be. Newish comfy good pair I got in a nice gift set… of course I couldn’t have lost of the cheapy standard Primark ones I have about two dozen pairs of….

    I only buy black socks, (but not the priest black socks!).

    That way, I don't realise when I mismatch them.

    My trivial annoyance for today is that I cut my hair…without looking at it. I still haven't looked at it but it feels good (bristly), but different.

    Came in this morning to hear a crackling sound from the bathroom. When I looked the shower door panel had smashed and glass everywhere. **** that for a Sunday morning.

    The Channel 4 series Virgin Island is not in fact about the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.

    It is a reality dating show.

    And it is not even filmed on one of the Virgin Islands!

    A neighbour has been power-washing his garden for hours, i mean since before 1pm. STOP!!

    He's usually okay, but 4 hours? And why is it always Dubs who come out with the power-washer?

    I'm sitting on my garden bench, about to go inside, when I think "Will I drop onto the grass and roll to a standing position, holding my finger-gun at any dodgy characters?"

    No, chances are I'll be a big lump stuck on my lawn, struggling to get off my back. 😄

    My watch tells me how many times I stood up today, how many steps, ...

    but doesn't tell me how many biscuits I ate.

    Housemates that always have their partners over whether it's for the night or just the evening, it's bloody annoying, it's like they're getting two people for the price of one. If you want to be with your partner then go find your own place, the rest of us don't want this interloper around!!!

    Out for my walk, lovey sill evening, warm..streets deserted. halfway through I stick on the headphones, but find I’ve no phone…I’m wondering if I dropped it taking off my fleece so I return retracing my steps hurriedly watching the path…nope, don’t see it…Get home, not in the kitchen, not in the bathroom, but into my bedroom it’s on my bed next to where I’d been crashing and reading…

    Walk spoiled was a total TA but not having to pay to replace a newish and decent phone is a real overriding TH.

    Expecting a delivery of garden furniture today, logistics company tracker says expected between midday and 4pm. Great! Will be waiting for the delivery guys and have them bring the box around the side, an extra 4 metres out of the way as there will be 2 of them. Go out to bring out the bin and see they have left a 38kg box leaning against the front of the house beside the hall door, didn’t even ring the bell! Still getting texts saying it’s due for delivery later. Will have to open it on the doorstep now and bring it in piece by piece.

    Still fuming over this. I got a quote of €630 which seems very dear. This includes replacing the shattered shower door and mounting it and remounting another shower door coming off it's tracks and labour. They are charging €440 for a new shower door.

    Depends on the shape and size, but it does seem as though it could be about right.

    I was in a kind of house share where this happned, my ta about them was they assumed that any visible food was communial(tho not the way the house was run) and the amount of times my mum's beloved fruit cake was devoured before I even got to taste it……………………….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why oh why has this site starting triggering something on my work's firewall? Only sometimes - not always. So it didn't work all last week but it's opened fine this morning. It's a potshot each day to see if it'll open or not. I assume it's a security issue or something. It's very TA!

    Was in the kitchen making a coffee and my mam was watching the british morning show that's on tv3 and they announced some celebrity couple are coming on it on Friday for a gender reveal of their baby, I rolled my eyes to heaven, Jesus wept 🙄 gender reveals are a ta in themselves but why the need to come on tv and announce it to the public 🙄.

    Ordered some bottles of absinthe on Thursday morning from a Dublin company and it still hasn't arrived Monday now, how can it take so long to come from another city to Galway in the same country.
