None right now, but I'm hoping to start in the next few months. I reckon I'll offer tin-whistle, flute and piano to grade 5 level and theory to grade 8. I need to iron out a lot of details first before I could plausibly start

Wow. You is talented!
I did 3 years of piano lessons in Waltons from when I was about 22, got to grade 4 and then gave up. It's one of the things I most regret.
When I have my life sorted out, I will go back!

my grandmother is always at me to start teaching music :rolleyes:
zero interest
i play for me

My dad has been on at me for the last 10 years to teach music. Even after I quit piano classes after grade 6 and insisted I had no interest in pursuing it other than a hobby. He still bangs on about 'ah but would you not go back and do your teaching cert?' Eh? No.

Pixie-Fairy would you consider working as an au-pair in Ireland? I was offered a live-out job with one family in a good area in South Dublin a few weeks back for about 700 per month. I couldn't take it because it was too low for me, I have to pay own baby-related expenses etc. and would have the cost of living wlsewhere but it could be ideal for someone without a family. Just as an idea - I was potentially being offered a double room with an en-suite and sky, wi-fi, phone access for free. I would also have had use of a car, meals provided, right next to main bus routes etc. and €700 per month on top of that. The work isn't bad either, about 20hours per week looking after two school age kids, light housework basically just tidying up after them, putting on the odd wash and making their lunches and 1/2 nights babysitting per week, dropping them to summer camps, play dates and the rest. Might be worth looking into

Home from Kildare - no idea where we were in Kildare, only to say North Kildare but to say it seemed like the roads weren't great for ages getting there! Left the house at 8.20am, back 8.30pm - flying to London in the morning, nothing sorted, have to leave here around 6am. Wrecked already, and have to sort my stuff and shower etc. I really just want to go to bed!!!!!!!

Howya Ladies, Haven't posted in the last couple of volumes, lurked on and off but never got round to posting because....I FINALLY GOT A JOB :D. Not just any job, my dream job. I've gotten really involved with now so working all the hours I can, literally working my arse off (I've lost a stone and a half in the last four weeks)

Hope everyone is happy out.

Yeah, I was just playing it there for a little now.

It's absolutely fantastic... while it works. it's crazy that they require an online connection while even playing a single player game, so basically all the servers are insanely busy and mega stupid lag issues abound too. yeah, there's crazy lag in a single player game. :rolleyes:

Almost, it's greenhouse work so it can get very hot. Very physical work so it's like getting paid to work out all day.

Had a few sneaky pints this evening, prob will regret it in the morning but for now I still have the goo on me.

RacoonQueen

Been cooking lasagne since like 3:30. Totally worth the wait.

ugh, thats the problem with gaming these days, too much emphasis on online stuff and its a cost to the single player, same as those stupid EA servers for Battlefield

Haha, it's funny how things work out Half the class dropped out by the time we were half way through the course, think only about 7 people attended all the way through. It wasn't great to be honest, your much better off with work

watching Signs, flawed movie but has some really cool scenes, and the music is phenomenal. the bit with the alien on the roof still creeps me out. "there's a monster outside my window can I have a glass of water?"

On the plus side Father Ted is on.....the racist episode!

Getting on great with my mam the last few months, makes a very nice change from how things used to be. She got me a coke today just because she knew I'd like one and we were talking about Paris earlier and it didn't end up with us screaming at each other (it would have done a few months ago, for sure). Yay for progress

Bedtime now, hope it helps with my headache! 'night everyone

My aunt died today. What an amazing woman. Fought a battle for 43 of her 48 years. She still managed to be the life and soul of the parties we had and she treated almost all of her nieces and nephews like the children she could never have.
Life is unfair.

Tigger99

Im very sorry to hear that Mars Bar. She sounds like she was a wonderful woman.

I feel sick. As in genuinely ill. That doesn't bode well for the last minute cramming.

Shepherds pie came out deadly, needs a few tweaks next time but still so scrummy!

Planning out how next year is going to go, lots of changes going on :D

****, I'm actually broken.

Hope I'll be better in the morning.

Especially my eyes. I currently look like one of those 28 days later "zombies". First person to see me tomorrow will probably bludgeon me to death.

I'm sick and I would have stayed in bed only I have work again today and since it's temporary I'm not really in a position to ring in sick.

I had about 5 minutes sleep last night and I've had a headache all weekend and it's made an appearance already this morning. I've rooted about in my bag but I don't have any panadol. I think it's going to be a long day.

krudler

weekends are so not long enough

IvyTheTerrible

Very sorry to hear that, Mars Bar.

Wrecked tired today, stayed up til midnight (not a good idea when the baby wakes at 4 to feed) cos it was the last day of the french league, Montpellier won, but the match had to be stopped 3 times because stupid asshats from Auxerre were throwing all sorts of things on the pitch (tennis balls, toilet paper, tomatoes, fireworks) and the match got delayed by more than 30 mins cos the riot police had to remove the troublemakers. Still, great win!

Das Kitty

Sorry for your loss Mars Bar. xx


I woke up this morning feeling like I was the worst asshole in history and completely useless. For absolutely no reason. All I can put it down to is a bottle of beer I had last night (I got 5 British beers for a tenner in Tesco) this one was called "The Governer" by Marco Pierre White.

So I'm blaming MPW for my self-loathing.

Why can't it be Sunday for 2 days?
