    Sorry to hear about your dog Knex. One of the guys in work had to get his dog put down last Sunday. It's really getting to him and upsetting him, you can see it. :(

    Ah, I missed the "dairy" part in the list of stuff you've stopped having? Does that mean no butter? Cause then you can't even have toast.

    Wait, I have it, cereal bars! :pac:
    Trying to avoid sugar too :p

    Dinner and lunch are generally okay (although most sambos tend to be leaden with cheese) but breakfast... kin hell. This morning I had a banana, some nuts (eugh), an innocent smoothie (rip off) and some rice cakes (might as well eat cardboard). I'm never going to last. I don't know how some people do it.

    I buy a tonne of fruit every week and have fruit salad every day so you could try that. I also drown it in yogurt which you would have to leave out along with my cereal and toast which you also can't have :D

    You could try almond milk?

    Boards needs a vomit smiley :p

    I guess once I do some shopping it'll be better. I just haven't been able/arsed to go to Tesco due to weather/travel/boozing.

    My mam drinks that, I've tried it a few times in desperation but wasn't swayed. It has a horrible looking texture in coffee :/

    Sounds like me every month..

    Got rid of all my credit cards, no over draft, one small loan left and its funny how much cash I have every month now..

    Granted I live a life of poverty and solitude now but as least I don't own any banks anything (apart from the small loan) :p:D

    I don't spend anymore on the credit card than I would have done if I was using cash. The main issue is my wages :D

    Get used to that as it will always be the case.. :P

    Never had a credit card and don't think I will either - Visa Debit ftw - if I don't have the funds I don't get it, just always been the way I've gotten things, save up for them.

    That said I do have to pay my car tax this month, have an overdraft but rarely go into it

    Also - BBQ Hula Hoops are the business!

    I could almost accept the chocolate digestives, but ... Jaffa Cakes? No. I'm afraid not.

    No idea. I'll be working as a dispatcher at the airport, i.e. making sure planes are properly loaded with everything and sent out on time. I've never done anything like it, but it seems interesting, and I can be a bit of a perfectionist so it could be a good fit.

    Gods for you man, it's a great feeling.

    When do you start?

    Training starts on the 7th of April, so one more week to get all the lazy out of my system. :pac:



    That biscuits thing...I just...no. :(

    We all know that feeling, right guys?

    :P

    I loved my college balls, one of the best nights of the year. Enjoy!

    As for the biscuit thing... I refuse to believe that I ever read that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,271 ✭✭✭Barna77


    Well done Kev.

    Re Biscuits. They may say what they want, I'll break their rules.

    College balls can be great with the right crowd and band playing :D

    Something doesn't sit right with me about that film. I have an awfully strong feeling that Michael Bay will ruin it more than he ruined Transformers (parts 2&3 as the main exhibits) :(

    Oh **** it. Alright. You geta tipsy selfie of me, Jez and a microwave til whenever I wake up and delete this...
    Sound, cheers for that. It's a nice selfie too! Looks like LOADS of hair, fluffy hair...Jez I'd reckon is pretty sound also. Hope you had a good night.

    Good thing I'm up early enough to see it, heh.

    I'm absolutely going to watch TMNT but Micheal Bay....Megan Fox....I won't be expecting much, except explosions, it's a Micheal Bay movie so as per usual 78% of the budget will go towards explosions
