    Jimmy Carr gives me a pain in my hoop.

    But what brought me in here was TK Maxx price tags. We're in a new house and had to buy some new pans, plates & dishes for Christmas. Had pans already but new house has induction hob. I spent about two hours trying to get the price tags off. Broke a nail on one plate and then had to resort to scrubbing them in the sink with hot water and a brush and they still had to go in the dishwasher after. Did I mention this was Christmas Eve in the middle of the food prep? Never again.

    I have agoraphobia and anxiety so I paid extra to have a priority boarding and a pre-booked seat, so I could get on the plane before most other people so I wouldn't have to ask anyone to get up to get to my seat and so I could settle my bag/coat without bothering or holding anyone up.

    So there I am sitting down minding my own business when I'm asked to get up and move to the exit aisle and the stewardess grabs my coat as she tells me not to forget my phone as I'm trying to grab my bag. She puts my bag up above me still open and I don't have my book now as everything is in my handbag. I also like to use my coat as a blanket/comfort and that's up above now too. I know this sounds mental but it's the only way I can cope with flying on my own. So glad I took two valium before I got on the plane.

    I was out for a walk in my town this evening and had to pass by a man who was walking casually in the middle of the path.

    Just as I passed by, he hawked a spit, missing me by mere cms I'd say.
    Now he was mortified and full of apologies, but WTF?
    Keep your shpit to yourself!
    Yuk.

    Everyone is gone out for the night, said I'd have a lovely quite night in by the fire watching tv, but the remote is not a single place to be found

    AA Roadwatch reports that tell me this road is busy or that road is blocked.

    Roads get slow with traffic, it happens. And reading out the same roads in the same cities is going to help how exactly?

    When someone uses the microwave to heat fish before you need to use it

    It's horrible ! Put a small bowl of warm water with a squeeze of lemon on for 2 minutes . Leave the microwave smelling fab

    "Acclaimed" Netflix shows like "You" which contain zero believable/likeable/tolerable characters. The main female character is so self obsessed that I don't think anyone could realistically fall in love with her

    Watching Magic Mike cos there's a chance that we might get a lingering shot of La McConaughey au naturel - but 25 minutes in and it's so mindnumbingly dull, I'm not sure I care any more!!!!

    Described by a friend of mine as "Fifty Shades with an ugly male lead and an ever more punchable female star".

    Why does #luther keep coming up on twitter? I gather it's some sort of detective series that has passed me by.

    Back to work in a few days,after a wonderful Christmas, and I know minutes after I sit down my boss will pick on me. She's made it obvious she doesn't like me and constantly finds fault with everything I do. I would hold my hands up if I was bad at my job, but I know I'm not, but that doesn't matter to her. If she was zapped up to outer space, this would be my dream job, but she's turning it into a nightmare and I don't know if I can stick it much longer.

    Will boards allow me to say she's a complete b**ch?



    Happy New Year everyone ('cept her :D)

  • Feck off, Dunnes Stores. Today, 2nd January, both the Dunnes shops in the Ilac Centre had all the Paddy's Day stuff up. They couldn't even wait until Nollaig na mBan.

    When someone constantly makes everything about themselves. My sister is in hospital with something that was thankfully caught but could have potentially been life threatening. My mother said she doesn't know how she is going in there, is very nervous about it. So I said don't worry she is fine, I saw her last night. Oh, but it was me that was in there last time, I hate going in to that place she says. So I told her if you would rather not go in, don't. Oh but I want to see her. Well I will collect you then. In the next breath she asks would it look strange if she didn't visit. I reiterated not to worry, stay at home. Oh, but I want to go in.
    Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh!
    Sorry for the rant but I despair at times and it's fcukin exhausting:(

    I know exactly what you mean on that one. I truly believe there is one in every family.
    My BIL's partner can't go to any function without trying to drag the attention on to her. One even gave her the benefit of the doubt, but that was quickly revoked when at a child's birthday party, said child was excited for her first Christmas play and put on a performance for us only to have Humpty Dumpty there, with her back turned to the child with the biggest sourest puss that would make milk curdle.

    Walking to the printer to collect your document only to realise that the reason it's not there is that after selecting your desired printer preferences, you forgot to actually click on the bloody "print" button...
