SarahBeep, I would not be putting up with that! My bf's ex tried it one night just after we got together, but she's made her bed :rolleyes:

Like Das says, you don't have to 'have it out' with her, just tell her that you have noticed, it's inappropriate and it makes you uncomfortable. He's with you, not her.

SarahBeep!

If she's not the centre of attention it's the end of the world like :rolleyes: and sure he's friendly to everyone and actualy has no clue what she's doing.

What to do, what to do?

So, I went on a date on Friday. We got on great, he had me HOWLING laughing all night. Had a smooch at the end of the night and he asked me did I want to do something on Saturday. We ended up driving to Laragh (in his Porsche, natch), had a fab lunch, drove all over Wicklow on the way back, didn't get home til after midnight. Had another smooch in the car when he dropped me home

Anyway, here's the kicker - I'm just not entirely sure how much I fancy him. I think he could be a grower, but I really don't want to lead him on either. He's asked me out again on Thursday night and I've said yes, but I'm really afraid I'm setting up an expectation in his head for something that might never happen.

Aggghhhhh, I so thought I was past all this!

If you dont feel anything by the third date then maybe he's not the one for you? (I just realised I havn't gotten to wear my 3rd date dress in months :P)

I got stuck there as well, you have to pick up a shopping list on the ground at Diagon Alley, then go to Gringots Bank to get money, then go to all the shops and buy the stuff on the list. Then it'll let you into the Hogwarts bit and you get sorted into a house there.

Just go with it and meet him again and see how it goes, if there's no spark then least you know, do people here actually do the American "third date=sex" thing? Its good he can make you laugh though, making a girl laugh is really underrated when it comes to upping your fanciable level, works for me anyway.

That wasn't even on my radar!!! I just meant an expectation of an on-going thing, ha ha!

Jesus, Krudler, I'm panicking even more now...!

oh haha I thought thats what you meant, just tell him if you don't see it going further, personally I'd rather be told than have that thing where the other person just stops texting or ignores you, thats just headwrecking. I much prefer when people are honest

Looks like all first years starting this year in my daughters secondary school will need ipads, got the letter today. Have to attend the meeting next week.

Its doesnt say who has to pay for ipads or the books.

If we the parents have to pay for ebooks as well as ipads your talking of like over 1000 euros.....

Hope they are offering some sort of incentive...
will find out next tuesday..

You are frickin' joking!
That would be a ridiculous requirement on the school's part.

Why kiss someone twice if you dont fancy him? That's not really fair on him, Honey.

When you're at the meeting you should ask them if they've checked out all the pros & cons. The school that my nephew is starting in September were planning on rolling out ipads as well, but they decided not to because after talking to a few schools who've tried it, the cons outweighed the pros. Apparently lots of screens were broken (ipod/iphone screens break easily from my own experience) and not all the books they would have been using are available on ipad.

Dolbert

Also, why do they have to be iPads? There are plenty of decent tablets out there without the Apple price tag. It's a bit much insisting on them if they won't help you to pay for them :eek:

Cause I don't actually *know* whether I fancy him or not! I'm still trying to figure that out. I'm not a bad person, I swear!

Your not a bad person. Sometimes there is no attraction straight away. Go on the second date but if you're still questing yourself after then you'll know the answer already, you can't force it.

A girl I know who's doing Music in TCD had to buy a brand new Macbook to be able to do her course, something to do with the programmes they needed working better on them. Cost her one thousand euro :eek:

There's a school here that are currently rolling out ipods, free to all 1st and 2nd year students. It's a deis school so it gets a good bit of funding...

That's crazy! The course I'm thinking of doing in september costs over 3 grand... if they added in a requirement like a macbook/ipad, I simply wouldn't have the money. :eek:

I wonder if they will suggest renting? Secondary school books cost a fortune...it'll be interesting to see if books v ipad would end up being a similar price. My son does the majority of his work on the computer/laptop as he's not good at writing things down. He still has 3 years of primary school so I'm presuming by the time he moves on, ipads will be the norm.

To think that we used to practice our letters on little blackboards:pac:

krudler

I hope ipads and tablets do become the norm in school, the amount of weight we had to carry to school was crazy at times, thats how you know youre old "back in my day in school.."

My bag was so heavy that I had to be driven to school, a 30 second drive, 7 minute walk, because to do the walk twice in one day was torture.

My mouth hurts, haven't eaten yet today because of the few bland soft foods I have nothing appeals

Posy

I would worry that spelling and handwriting would suffer if the majority of work is done on a computer/tablet.

Lighter schoolbags would be great though. In my day.... ah, crap, I'm old!!

Out Of The Night

Lovely man texting me in the morning when I wake up makes me smile

tomissex

I used to take down homework questions in my copy so I'd have a book or two less in my bag. Still, the smell of new books is like the best thing about starting school!

Novella

I am about to do my last assignment of this year. SO EXCITED! (Not about doing it, about it being finished!). I never thought I'd make it through a whole year of college after all my dropping out and stuff so I'm really, really happy.

Just got called to work at 4 in Limerick and I should be rushing around like a mad woman getting ready & going to the bus... But I'm on Boards.. I have a problem.

ah it was ridiculous, i used to go to my grandmothers after school as my parents didnt finish work til after 6pm and I finished at 3 or whenever, and it was a 10-15 minute walk, grand normally, not so much with piles of big ass text books in your bag because our stupid school had no lockers.

We had lockers but with 7-9 subjects a day and at least one book and copy for each my back was in bits! Had to lean forward just to keep my balance. Taking it off my back was SUCH a relief every afternoon, practically euphoric!

Can anyone tell me why my laptop has a fit every few days and does what it's doing now, my typing is going much faster than the writing coming up on the screen, I have to type at half speed to keep in time with it...so frustrating.

We had a 30 min walk. Plus on a Wednesday we had music, and the mother insisted that I learn the accordian, so had to carry that there and back once a week. Total waste, I was and continue to be musically challenged

Tablets in school would be brilliant.

Acoshla

Yeah I had a 35 minute walk home until 5th year, we moved to a new school in 6th year that was closer, but our bags were heavier, unlucky!

Just looking at your ticker. Are you finished work yet?

Jesus, as if you don't have enough too be carting around!
I came out of primary school once when I was about 9-10, with a really really heavy schoolbag.The weight of it actually tipped me over and I fell onto the path and bashed my head open. The bag was just so heavy I couldn't stay upright!
I think tablets could be good, so long as there's still a good bit of focus on handwriting and spelling and the school's appreciate that not everyone is made of money!

Tablets could just be used as text books though. Even a kindle type thing and use copybooks as well.

Plus a table type thing would probably be cheaper than years of booklists?

I suppose anything to stop children looking like bent over question marks with heavy school-bags full of huge books would be a good thing!

Christ I used to hate my cycle home from school, so hard to balance with all those books and trucks barrelling along beside me, so many near death experiences!
Went to my first spin class last night, it was brilliant. They have uv lighting and stuff so halfway through the class they turn off the lights and turn on the light effects and it's like being in a nightclub! Great laugh, really takes your mind off the horrendous discomfort of the saddle.

That's odd, mine doesn't do that...maybe go to their help page and see if anything there can help you? Also, can nobody get into the second book yet?
