haha that's brilliant. Try chopping wood, that's what I eventually used my sword for heh

The thing is about as strong as a toffee hammer. When I was living at home, I took a chunk out of the living room ceiling and chipped the blade. I tried using it in defence when my mam ran to beat me over the ceiling, but again, it proved to be useless.

A margaritaville-brand maker.

I used to spend 90euro every 8 weeks or so to get my hair trimmed (I mean a cm or two). I know many women that still do this and think that’s acceptable. I now get the exact same haircut (if not better) for 15 Euro from Chinese hairdressers on Capel Street!

Nothing really.

Not that I'm smart with money, I just thought that buying a chocolate colander was a bit thick.

Bless you child, Four hail marys. And remember alls not lost,
Your sauna can double as a drinking den for your hubby, Just put in a PS2, an old fridge and a blow up bed.
And as for the Hot tub just fill that with water, some gravel and some old shopping trolleys and you have a very large Aquarium with the added bonus you can actually get into it. Like Nemo 3D:cool:

we didn't really benefit from the boom years. Didn't have enough money to splash about, lived within our means and made no lavish purchases.

But that doesn't entertain me.
