By the way, I mentioned the other day that I got an extremely unique pair of boots while away. Well, take a look at these:

The fat dog lost 300g in 2 weeks. I'm being very strict with her food intake, she probably needs to lost at least another 2kg

I know I'm beyond help re this exam tomorrow - but I'd feel worse if I didn't try cram a little...

I've taken 2 caffine pills and am trying to build up the motivation to at least read through notes so I can maybe attempt something.

It's going to be a long night.

This local writer friended me on facebook after I did the book launch thing and it's only been a few days but there is just a barrage of updates from him promoting his book. Which is fair enough, but it's literally him sharing the same photo about 20 times a day.

Just as my finger was hovering over the "hide" button, I noticed someone had commented on the latest one. I clicked on it and it was someone giving out to him for spamming everyone's feeds!

Sh1t just got real, yo!

*gets popcorn*

God, when writers fight it's the best thing ever.

I love The Big Bang Theory.

Odd question for anyone in the know really. Have to tan my legs for the wedding. Should I shave and then tan or tan and then shave?

RacoonQueen

Shave then tan. I think you're meant to exfoliate in there somewhere too but thats too girly for me.

I was thinking that. I think I'll shave now and tan in the morning. I don't think I'll be exfoliating though.

whens the wedding jane, if your going to need to shave your legs again before then your better off living the tan till the last minute otherwise shaving again could make it go all streaky

Shave, Exfoliate, Moisturise, Tan! It'll be blotchy otherwise.

And today has gotten worse,

For those that might be eating or something

toilet water (from a few days ago!) seems to be coming up into my bath when the toilet is flushed, which means there's a blockage somewhere in the pipes that will have to be searched for and I've no idea how they could fix it, hopefully it would be on a bit that easy to get to, it's also causing a god awful smell and I'm kinda afraid to go in case it gets worse

I'm off to bed hopefully nothing else bad will happen between now and when I go to sleep.

It's on Saturday. Not sure if I will need to shave again before then. I have one leg done though...

**** no, I hate ironing. I can set you up with my mam tho. She'd iron me if I stood still long enough.

Fooking hate ironing. I have ironed nothing since Christmas except baby clothes, because they are cute and tiny. After 5 babygros I got bored... The mother loves ironing though. I think I was switched at birth.

EmilyO's post reminded me of something.....did Neyite have her baby yet??

Nope. Junior is still incarcarated.:D Is eligible for parole after Saturday, if good behaviour applies. I have a family wedding and child is not allowed out until after that. The thought of having a days-old baby with loads of clucky relations around giving me unwanted advise would give me the horrors!

My "tan" for the wedding is gonna be out of a packet from the hoisery dept in mothercare. I had aspirations of painting toenails for the wedding but since I've not been able to reach my knees since March, I guess thats out!

Mammy Bluewolf will be happy to hear that the exam was easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Loads of people left early because of it even though they read over their answers numerous times.

Didn’t get to give blood. So disappointed about it because I had psyched myself up for it and I was waiting for ages for the nurse to call me (because they saw regular donors before first timers) but they said my veins were too narrow so they sent me home. Bit annoyed they didn’t really try though. I’ve no problem with needles and I wouldn’t have minded getting bruised. I just wanted to get the first time over with. Guess I’ll just have to drink even more before I try next time.

Had stuff to do in town today, things for me and things I said I would do for other people. I was rushing all around the town trying to get it all done before I went to the clinic so I wouldn’t have the pressure of doing it all afterwards in case I felt weak. Ended up getting drenched in showers because of it and it was all for nothing since I didn’t get to donate. Of course I managed to sort everything I said I’d do for other people but when it came to doing the things for myself fate conspired against me. Bit pissed off because of it.

Even though it’s great that I’m finished my exams it also means my course is finished and chances are I won’t see a lot of the people from my course ever again. I’m going to miss them all so much. I hate it when things end.

Oh well, onwards and upwards!

I'm really jonsing for a chicken Ceaser salad right now. Got my first consultation with Motivation Weight Loss Clinic in Swords on THursday and I'm feeling kinda nervous about it.
Anyone got any helpful ideas of what it's like?

Plunger.

Get a decent pneumatic one (they're about a tenner in the hardware shops - mine's an abflusreinger -- sorry I just like the name).

Attack the toilet and the bath plug hole with it.

And wear goggles.

And have something to scrub yourself with in the shower after.

I haven't been there but I think it's a consultation with someone who will go through your diet, give you an eating plan and an exercise plan and most of all be very, very nice to you. They won't be d1cks or judgemental about your weight if that helps calm the nerves

If I remember your posts correctly I was kinda in the same position as you weightwise when I first went to Weightwatchers and I was absolutely bricking it going to the first meeting, dunno what I thought would happen, people seeing me walking in & scoffing at me or the leader lady making trumpeting elephant noises when I got on the scales but it all worked out so well in the end

I'm feeling a little weird today. Really happy because I lost 7lbs this week, kinda confused because I text my OH to tell him and I didn't get a reply at all and when I spoke to him a few minutes ago he didn't even mention it! Annoyed with myself because I have assignments to finish and study to do but I just can't seem to stick at it. Oh well...

I don't know if anyone remembers a while ago I was saying that a friend on my boyfriend's was over and was going on about transgender people and how much he didn't like them, I can't even remember now what he was saying just that it made me argue with him

Anyways, he was over again yesterday, and we were talking about a mutual friend's new baby. My boyfriend made some flippant comment that the mum is breastfeeding, and the friend said "UGH, like, in front of ye? Ah jaysus, right there on the couch? I mean it's natural and all but like take it into another room love". Cue a 5 minute talk from myself and boyfriend about how a new mother can do WHATEVER the hell she likes on her own couch in her own home, and - gasp, horror - how dare she feed her child there! Your man was looking at my boyfriend for some sort of backup from the crazy lady in the corner (me ) but boyfriend just said "If people have a problem with it it's their problem not hers, if you're uncomfortable with her feeding her own baby in her own home don't visit". Very proud of him, he's such a modern man!

Very stressful day ahead- I have a presentation to do for my evening class that I STILL cannot get right, it insists on taking me over the time limit even after I've cut out all my favourite pieces and thus entirely lost interest in it and then immediately afterwards I'm meeting a guy from the internet for a first date!

On the plus side, the presentation stress is taking my mind off the date stress, but it's also cutting into my preparations for that, so I'm going to turn up frazzled and scruffy.

Cooked chicken curry on Monday and the leftovers are still in the fridge. Will it be ok today or should I chuck it out? Don't want to waste it, plan was to have it for lunch yesterday.

Well done Lola!

Don't worry about your other half. The amount of things I've been excited about that my fella has no reaction about is staggering.

Another restless night in our household. James was full-on bawling for Daddy 3 times during the night, I have no idea what set him off. I asked him this morning why he was making so much noise and he told me that he wanted to get into Daddy's bed.

Hopefully it's his final two molars. Please let it be that!

I do have the constitution of an ox though, I spent years reheating takeaway rice to tepid and eating it before finding out that you're totally not supposed to do that, I was always fine! :pac:

My wedding shoesies arrived just now, yay! I would prance around in them but I'm wearing hiking socks, laced up fitflop runners and a batman hoody (with jeans too obviously!) so not sure I'd get the full effect

Hi everyone. Just woke up. Didn't sleep very well at all. Just couldn't get warm. Finally drifted off at around 4.30am (but woke up 3 or 4 times after that) after reading for a while. (Catching Fire is great btw.. Really only started yesterday.)

Have to get up now and clean out my goldfish bowl and then walk to the chemist. Also have to put on tan at some stage today.

Hope everyone is okay today.

It'd probably be fine if you absolutely nuke it in the microwave, I usually make two batches of tikka or bolognese in one go, works out cheaper and easier. Only ever felt dodgy after it once, I don't think I cooked the mince enough in the first place.

So sick of sitting at a desk for hours on end, I want a holiday! Or even TV. TV would be nice.

i cooked monday evening and had the leftovers yesterday i would say you are fine


goldfish need reaaaaaaally big tanks or they get depressed


i think i'll go to M&S tonight and get something tasty
i never have before but it could be nice

How much mischief can one dog get up to? Over the past three hours he has managed to:
1. Sneak a teatowel off the counter and rip it to shreds.
2. Launch himself at the budgie cage, missing said budgies but knocking their water and food things all over the floor.
3. Eat half the budgie seed before I managed to stop him.
4. Fart in my face.
5. Get some plastic stuck between his teeth and scrape my thumb while I tried to get it out.
6. Worst one-has found a weak link in the fence somewhere and got into my neighbours garden. I can't find where it is so no unsupervised garden play for him today. Have a hair appointment later so am torn between shutting him on the shed, which he hates, in the kitchen, which will result in untold destruction, or just cancelling it.

watch him from the kitchen or an upstairs window to see where he's digging through, he'll do it once he thinks he's on his own again

we had to do that with ours before we could find the weak spots

You could also add that she is ALSO entitled to breastfeed in public ( :eek: ) and if someone tries to stop her, they can be done under the discrimination laws. That'd soften his cough.

I don't know tbh. I want to have time to let it develop just in case I need more/have to attempt to scrub it off because I've never actually used the particular one I got before.. What do people think? Is tanning today too early?

Depends on what type of tan it is, but if it's one that needs too develop won't you need a shower again on Friday or Saturday before the wedding and wash it off a bit? I haven't used developing tan in years but used to put it on the night before things, if you were doing a run through today I'd be scrubbing it off again Friday and redoing it.

x Purple Pawprints x

That's what I was thinking. I need help to do my back so I have to wait until Mam comes back. Might go to the chemist and do my legs when I get back. Thanks bluewolf.

Just made an appointment to get my hair cut Friday morning, hopefully it'll last the weekend for me.

Thanks Das, I think I'm just a bit stressed and hormonal and over thinking things. Hopefully it will be his teeth and over and done with soon. Ella has been a demon for the last week and I just copped it last night she is probably teething because her cheeks were so red I thought they were going to start glowing!

It's actually tanning wipes that I got and I used a different type before and it took ages for it to fade.

Then I would wait til Friday to do the real thing but a trial run would be no harm today if you want to do one. I would have some exfoliator on hand in case you have trouble getting itoff before doing it for the wedding.

Should have got 2 packs.. I'll see what happens today. If it turns out ok I'll leave it and see if it fades and get another pack when I'm in Portlaoise on Friday.

I'd say it'll definitely fade some bit between showering, sleeping, etc, the last thing you want is a blotchy patchy tan by Saturday! This is why I just use some sun shimmer, I'm the world's worst for fake tan, it always makes my legs blotchy and I stain every surface with it and inevitably have brown palms :pac:
