    Full day up and about. Did many of my usual chores and not flagging too much yet. And have been told I can drive again from tomorrow - I had visions of my six week old car sitting immobile in the driveway with cobwebs shrouding it.

    It's a living breathing teddy-cat!!!! :eek:

    I want one :(
    Just back from the second interview for a job. I’m in the last 3. The interview was supposed to be tomorrow but changed to today so hurray for not knowing, I’d have had a restless night thinking about it.

    Best of luck with it Muffin.

    Looks like I'll be getting ebooks to use on my laptop when I start studying Leaving Cert maths, biology and physics ahead in June!

    Ordered a dress online and didn't think it would be here on time. It arrived early and it's a perfect fit!

    Some of my school year's off to a mock interview in Oracle tomorrow.

    I did one on 2nd Feb 2018. Somehow, I wasn't rated on the questions. I was rated 5/5 on all other aspects, except body language, which was rated a 3.

    Happy that I have kind neighbours; called the ferryman to ask if he would kindly cover the back window of the car for me as he is going over today; he was already thinking of that. There is a shower curtain in the car I was using as a rain cape.

    Also he had mentioned a local garage man 'always found one in small rural areas and they are ace. So he will call him for me.

    This is in three parts; once the car is protected, get the part and then get it fitted.

    We were talking about how it happened and I said I have read that even a bird can explode glass like that; some bizarre stories on google. It is a 2000 car so getting old and fragile. I think he, as I, wanted to rule out it having been anyone local as we are a very close small community here and that would upset them

    So there is the acceptable " reason" that he will put round; he sounded upset when I called him.

    Still feeling "poorly" but fire lit and will settle now.

    I was complaining about how dry the skin on my hands is and how rubbish my dry shampoo was the other day. Came in this morning and my work bestie had left a lovely Lancôme hand cream and salon-brand dry shampoo in my desk drawer :)

    I ordered a book for friends of mine that have really looked after me in the last few weeks and shown me that I am deserving of many good things. It came today and I think they'll really like it. Looking forward to giving it to them :)

    Very happy that it's Friday and I am very much looking forward to kicking back and relaxing for the weekend :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    It's the Easter holidays! We had a half day in school too.

    Going to my friends hen tonight which I can't wait for. To top it though, I'm going to collect my best friend from the airport because she's home for it too. Can't wait to see her and spend the weekend with all of my friends!!

    Here is the web page those photos come from

    so yes. That coat was too unusual to be just some genetic flaw. They are much more attractive than the Devon and Cornish Rexes I am used to

    https://www.google.ie/search?q=cornish+rex+cat&rlz=1CAACAJ_enIE693IE693&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjnov-blIPaAhWHKewKHfX0BBUQ_AUICigB&biw=911&bih=436#imgrc=IrDrDg0VRuuDQM:

    and if you want to see some seriously weird cats, google images Cornish Rex,,,

    Just for a few minutes then I could hear the sea! I think it must have been the tide turning.. WOW.. brings tears to my eyes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,920 ✭✭✭TG1


    Was all set to be in a stinker of a humour, as I am wrecked tired and got stuck in work till late.
    Instead I got a takeaway on the way home, got straight into the PJs and the bed, and just downloaded the hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy audiobook read by Stephen fry.
    So I am trivially happy that I don't have to suit anyone else tonight, and can just retreat into my introverts paradise of bed and audio books!

    Tea and toast and an early night. Friday nights rock!

    The few minutes of hope as you scratch a shiny scratchcard and dream about never going to work again. Or even for a week or two.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    The dog is SNORING ! Makes me chuckle every time.. So loud!

    Yes I was pleasantly surprised this week to see mine (fully comp ncb protected) had dropped by €120 because the new car is petrol and 200cc smaller than the last one.
