    I was told my wardrobes are kinda OCD like. I dont think so at all. Everything has a place and i put my stuff in their place. I cant sleep in a messy room so would rather get out of a warm bed and put things away than try sleep with stuff lying around.

    You can pay me in a big steaming mug of B :)

    I LOVE YOU.

    Ill make you dinner and bovril and collect you and bring you home and everything.

    In other news, the plastic panel that surrounds the window on my car door flew off in the wind today. Anyone know of a decent scrap yard I can pick replacements up from?

    He says not to worry about anything below 40% really. But when it's reviewed they'll be looking for originality in the paragraphs etc. Making sure they're not copied word for word from another source.

    Cool, I'm on 20%, due to it being all about standards, and the only source to define the standards and list the principles and back them up is from the web :D, so I'm using the strict definitions to back up my arguments :)

    Someone I know is on 44%

    Stheno, those websites will pick up quotes that you used that other students used, as well as things like the assignment title. As was said, once it's below 40% you don't need to worry.

    I got a 5% plagiarism count in an assignment last year. Either the thing was on the blink, or I wrote a weird-ass essay :pac:

    Actually both answers are correct for the different groups.

    Patients are asked not to wear it as it interferes with the pulse oximeter.

    HCWs are asked not to for infection control.

    Thats the thingy like a grey clothes peg they stick on your index finger is it? Why did they want to take my toenail polish off before the C-section then- was it for infection control? Thats what I thought initially until I was told about the oxygen thing.

    I was so proud of myself to be able to paint my toenails all by myself at 39 weeks pregnant. They were glittery mauve and very pretty. :D I didnt do them for the birth or anything, it was for a prior occasion.

    Had an absolute sh*te day, nearly felt like walking out there and then.

    Have an inspection tomorrow, but I can hardly stay awake. For all of this week, I keep ending up falling asleep around 8/9pm - I'm shattered. Its so frustrating that I can't stay awake for a while after having some food, if it was a big meal it would be something, but its not. It means that I can't plan my lessons properly and I go into work feeling like sh*te, then delivering poor teaching. The faster the weekend comes the better - I'm sick of not being able to function properly

    Have you had a chance to get to the doc?

    Best of luck for tomorrow, I really hope you feel better soon.

    I'm gonna have to stop reading tLL at work. The duff bug must be leaking out. There are three new pregnancies among colleagues in the last week! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    It's too late and eating this late really didn't help weight loss last time.

    Nope, tried ringing a few times to sort an appointment, but I'm finding it near impossible to sort one. Just stopped ringing now because I'm sick of it - going to call up to them tomorrow I reckon.

    Trying to do my lesson plan for tomorrow, tis like grinding teeth :(

    I'm really sick of this funk I'm in. I'll just have to throw myself into college work and stuff as much as !I can and hopefully that'll draw me out of it a bit. It's just so frustrating; I don't have the motivation to do anything, even getting up seems so difficult and pointless.

    Tomorrow is going to be a hellish day, too. At least I'm meeting up with my bestie to have lunch, I hardly ever see her these days because of conflicting schedules :(

    Defo think its the time of year and the greyness of the weather!! Do another workout with your friend. :)

    You're ok Larianne, i'm in cork! It must have been almost on top of where I am when it started, the flash and the rumble seemed to be at the same time. There's car alarms going off and dogs going nuts, it's like the apocalypse in my estate tonight!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,020 ✭✭✭Ah_Yeah


    bluey, the queen of going for massages, where can I go to sort me back out? Well, shoulders really. I don't think I even need a full body, though it might be relaxing.

    Also, I'm poor this month so maybe if you come across a bargain, PM me :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    There's a massive hole in the crotch of my favorite pyjama pants. Balls. They're too comfortable to throw out. :(
    By the way, does anyone know where I can get a pair of those gloves they had in Penneys before Christmas? They were fingerless but had an attached mitten top so you could easily go from fingerless to mittens. They were all over the shop in December, now I can't find a pair to save my life. Really need them because my hands are absolutely freezing but wearing full gloves is a no-no for me. I'm not used to the sensation and I find fingerless easier to deal with.

    EDIT: Found a picture of what I mean:

    phew!!!

    Must mean there's some hot air around? Maybe it's getting milder?
    Spring is on it's way. YAY! :)

    My sister does holistic massage, but she's in Portlaoise, she's very reasonable, OH goes down and loves it, she fixed his back and he was delighted.

    Aside from that I'll keep an eye out on deals for ya.

    I've decided I'm confused.

    I've two things wrong with my knee. Last week the surgeon said thing 1 was getting better and thing 2 was the problem.
    Two weeks before that he said I was fine to drive if I could control the clutch.

    Yesterday physio told me thing one was the issue and didn't mention thing 2.
    Then he told me in his opinion I'm unsafe to drive.

    There's no consistency between them which is starting to piss me off, as they work in the same organisation, share the same patient file etc. And neither of them has found a way of dealing with the fairly horrific pain I'm in every day.

    I'm thinking I might talk it out with my physio next week when I see him again, and if I'm not happy go see the surgeon again ?

    I would maybe consider a second opinion. Ultimately though, if you are confused, be safe rather than sorry - don't drive.

    Hmm, seems like miscommunication going on there. Defo say it to the physio and see what he says. And if you;re not happy with that, then back to the doctor.
