Who is Samantha Brick?

I hate hate HATE Mrs Brown. I don't find that man funny at all.

Anytime I'm in the home house my da puts in on and says 'Come on, you HAVE to find this part funny'. No, just no.

It's OK, no one listens to her. They are so blinded by her stunning looks that they couldn't possibly be expected to listen as well.

hmmm

Argghh booked someone yo do a small job in my house tomorrow. I booked him ages ago as I wanted the job done within a tight time slot (needed it done after twelve and before two). Explained all this when booking and offered to pay extra.

As I said I booked ages ago. He just left a message on my phone saying he will be there before Eleven as he has taken on another job at half 12. :mad:

true, I dislike her because she's so beautiful I feel threatened.

I'm trying one that Acoshla recommended to me.

I don't really like cream cheese frosting and my regular buttercream isn't very spreadable.

I just used normal buttercream for my rainbow cake, firm icing is better for it so you can coat it well to hide the colour, and so it doesn't bulge out of all the layers, the meringue one does.

Stench Blossoms

I'll get practicing on the normal buttercream then instead

I'm not having an argument either to be fair. All I'm saying is that as you know the law profession is not the only one where people work very hard and in most other cases come out with a lot less money.

I attended a tcd law party a few years ago where was shocked by the attitude of SOME of the students. One guy told me what I did was of no real relevance as his was the only field that mattered. His main argument being that he was going to earn a hell of lot more than me.

I was recently told on boards that unless you're getting paid it doesn't count, which really is highly insulting. I work 60+ hours in something that I love for very little money as do a lot of people including the 1000's of volunteers.

I'm not saying you don't have a right to paid well at the top, that's the level it's set at.

Just maybe I'm talking umbrage at the word justify.

I understand that people will and do work harder than me, for less or no money. And fair play to them, if that's their choice. My point is that I want to reach a good level in my chosen career, and it's going to take a damn hard slog to get there, so I want to feel I will deserve whatever salary to which I'll be entitled.
I'm not trying to belittle anyone else's job, ambitions or income. But I want to earn good money from my job, as it will be well-deserved.
Also, don't pay any attention to those TCD students. There are many students (not just TCD) who have those opinions, but I'm not one of them.

In other news, I joined WW today. I'm not a huge fan of the way they do things, but for now I just need to be accountable to something to get me started losing weight. The planning and routine will be good for me too, and hopefully I won't have to rely on WW for too long. They've told me I only need to lose 10lbs but it would be great to get a stone off

Work is driving me insane AGAIN. Can't decide if I should stick it out til the new year, when I'm better qualified for other roles, or just jack it in now and try to find something that doesn't make me want to cry and/or punch people. Grr.

All this cake talk is making me ponder what cake I want for my birthday. It is still a few weeks away, but as we all know - calories do not count on your birthday. This is an important decision

Hmmm... cake...

McChubbin

Hrrrmm. Things I NEED:
Teeth to be professionally cleaned: €75
Hard wearing walking/hiking shoes that don't fall apart after a month : €100 (including delivery from Canada due to large, awkward sizing)
Two teeth extracted: Possibly covered on the medical card.
Further unknown costs for future dental work.

Things that I WANT:
New tattoo: €200
This ring: http://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/star-trek-engagement-ring
A plate of sushi and some sweet potato wedges: €20

I hate being broke. *goes to sell kidneys on eBay*

I read that! Even told boyfriend about it because I thought it was so funny! She HAS to change her dress now lol! In fairness though my boyfriend is being a drama queen over my dress, doesn't want to see or hear anything about it, he knows it's white and if I told him any more than that he'd kill me, boys are weird.

Also, wtf is soft lace??

Dolbert

Lol, no idea! I thought lace was, eh, lace :pac:

Yeah my dress is hanging up in our house, he could look if he was arsed but as far as he's concerned all wedding dresses look the same!

Acoshla

I showed him my shoes and he got all "Lalala I don't wanna know!", don't know what the big deal is with him and this!

The only thing worse than English text speak is French text speak. I cannot understand a word of it.

Looking at a FB page for the soap I watch and I'm just what is this I don't even....

Was reading said thread this morning. Weddings really do knock any sense out of some people. Three days to go, I wonder whether myself and my sanity have parted company by Saturday?
