Just made some toast.

Last slice of one loaf & one from a new one. They are toasted to different consistencies.

Can't enjoy them.

TA twitch in my right eyelid for a number of days now. Its annoying and it makes me look like a crazy lady. Think I need better sleep.

I got a mini one yesterday in Dunnes with fake snow all over it. It's so pretty. It was only 20 euro. They have really nice fairy lights shaped like little stars. I'd usually wait till early December too but **** it. Mine is more like an ornament than a proper tree but I like it.

TA my really lovely neighbour invited me in for dinner later. He just messaged to say I hope you like goose. I replied mmmm goose my favourite:p and he said oh great, its my first time making it! Noooooo!! Goose? I thought he was joking!! Who in the hell eats goose?!!

It will be an experience anyway! I think it's a nice gamey meat? (I've also never had it lol). Be sure to let us know!

TA I'm five days into my diet and I still haven't lost twenty kilo. What is taking so long...

1) Annoying people uninentionally:

Causing annoyance to person(s) unintentionally and then having to explain it. And feeling like a bit of an eejit for not thinking in first place.

2) Getting used to different technology:

Using a second hand Macbook given to me by the brother. I was a long time windows user. Feel like a right auld fella having to get used to it. Lots of 'feck it's' and 'jayus's'.

Even the previous sentence 'eejit' or 'jayus' was going to be auto corrected into something else. Closing a window and so on still foreign to me. Brain looking for windows start menu. Scrolling is even full of wonderful mysteries, copying links, and learning different shortcuts. Plus all average Mac users must have 20/20 eyesight the text is tiny! Zoom command + a few times needed!
Don't start me on getting used to the right key!

Reading an article online about losing weight and one of the tips is to drink more water (duh) but it actually refers to "getting enough aqua on the reg". FFS.

Why is it anytime I eat pizza the roof of my mouth is in bits afterwards

Was the article written by Kenny Powers?

TA...pretty much everything at the moment, even my own reflection. Every time I pass a mirror I roll my eyes. I'm finding it hard to think of anything that doesn't irritate the hell out of me at the moment. Tried to open a packet of buttons a minute ago and couldn't so ****ed them against the wall and genuinely felt angry at them like they'd personally wronged me. I almost want to stand on a plug just so I can scream at it and feel justified.

Someone in here stood on a plug recently, maybe you can go and scream at his plug? Sorry lol

TA I'm starving but also still fat. I can't reconcile these two positions. I know it took me a long time to get fat, but in my head I've been hungry for five days so I should be thin already...

Jenna James · 21-11-2020 7:54pm

TA that I am very unsure of many of the people in my life's motives.

Reconnected accidentally recently with an old colleague. I presumed incorrectly he was single which I found out when we met up for a short walk. Now he's texting asking to do an outdoor coffee/walk but I think he made it clear he's in an unhappy marriage.

I'm not able to be someone's shoulder right now. Maybe I'm misreading the situation but it's making me uncomfortable.

cj maxx · 21-11-2020 8:01pm

I’ve been Changing alot of passwords lately and I’ve discovered that sites that don’t have a wee eye ( to show the password you’ve typed) is a pain in the ass when doing it all on the phone .
Also that alot doesn’t seem to be a word , it’s a lot .

Ahhh the old unhappy marriage chestnut. Funny how these guys who come out of the woodwork never seem to have happy marriages. If it makes you uncomfortable then keep him at bay for sure.

Ta the expression 'real pain for my sham friends, champagne for my real friends'. Just **** right off ðŸ€¬

One of my favourite glasses broke in the dishwasher. another one came out with a chip on the lip.

I've a dishwasher in my house about 3 years now and I've used it, herself uses it but I prefer to wash dishes in the sink. You also get that nice feeling when you get to use a new sponge

The Crazy Cat Lady · 21-11-2020 10:34pm

I had a stressful day earlier in the week. Bit of a long story but I have osteoporosis, I have to have a blood test every 6 months and an injection a week later. Anyway I had my blood test there a few days ago. I went to the chemist to get my proscription for my injection, being organized and all that, we have to order it ourselves. Anyway I got the injection but when I looked in the bag there was another medication there (folic acid), one that I didn't order

I had 7 phone calls to my mom, my mom had 2 phone calls to the chemist and one phone call to a Doctor, to know why I was being prescribed folic acid. It turns out my bloods came back and my levels of folic acid were low, and the doctor sent a script for folic acid tablets to my chemist. We were told eventually but we could have avoided all the phone calls, me being stressed and having a headache, if the doctor rang me before he sent the script to the chemist. I have great respect for what doctors do but what if it was serious

Sorry for the rant

This has happened to me several times. He's either trying to line you up as a potential love interest or use you to vent at and rinse you for sympathy etc. so annoying when people do that...you feel so used.

I guess it's good I'm recognising it immediately.

Me too, I've had this a couple times the last few months, I think they see me as lonely and vulnerable. I've learned along the way though and I told him I was busy this week and I'd contact him next week but now I don't want to at all. He lives very close by which is irritating.

Did you manage to avoid any 'weird' situations?

Run a mile! A friend's husband tried that old line on me a few years back. A couple of weeks later I saw them out walking, wrapped around each other. He's looking for a bit on the side.

Christ on a bike! That must have been awkward

I have 0 interest in him. It was fine to catch up once but we've nothing in common.

Guess I'll be blocking everything.

Strange notions and work practices have evolved in the house since this lockdown, by far the daftest one from today.
Preheating the deep fat fryer(while sitting listening to a podcast in another room) so it will be warm enough for when it's used an hour later.

blade1 · 22-11-2020 1:46pm

Fella strutting around the supermarket with no mask.
The same fella that was on YouTube challenging a Garda at a check point during first lockdown.
Fair enough if he had good reason but he's the type that likes the smell of his own farts.

The Crazy Cat Lady · 22-11-2020 1:56pm

People talking to you (during a phone call) with the radio on in the background. Argh!

freshpopcorn · 22-11-2020 3:12pm

When somebody death is in the media and the media latches onto the fact they were massively into GAA.
The person in fact played GAA when they were about seven for a year or two and they found it out via the net/newspaper archives.

Or when they rollout the parish priest. Last time they crossed the threshold of a Church was their nephew's confirmation in 1997.

My dinner was horrible and i dint enjoy it. So chinese take away it is then.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 22-11-2020 5:43pm

Cycling down the road and a car decides to suddenly veer out in front of me, no indicators - nothing, I skidded, he skidded to a stop, and then HE had the gall to honk his horn at me and shout abuse. I had my flashing lights on both front and back, I was not invisible.

Pr1ck.

Ya couldn't make it up - check your TV schedules.. :mad:

And people laugh at GOD - used to watch her when she was on YouTube; she called it - Channel4 been a disgrace for years..

Porklife · 22-11-2020 6:20pm

Watching First Dates Abroad and I hate the way Australians called sex a "root". It's horrible and makes it sound like a procedure like a root canal.
A guy just said to his date 'what's the difference between an egg and a beetroot?' she goes tell me and he says 'you can beat an egg but you cant beat a good root'
Her face dropped:)
To be fair it's kinda funny but I don't think he's gonna be getting a root tonight!

People bringing their whole family to Tesco's (yes, Tesco's) - mammy, daddy and three small kids taking up an entire aisle, making social distancing impossible, entirely oblivious to the existence of other people trying to negotiate their way around them. Meanwhile, people queuing outside because the place is full. I wish supermarkets would enforce a 'one person per trolley' rule, along with a total ban on children.

My brother (from Dublin) is married to an Australian. His mother in law is called Ruth.

Because of his accent she insists he calls her mum.

They do have that sign on their tv ads (one person per trolley)

I’m TA’d that the weekend is nearly over
