feeling really sick since yesterday, and had an anxiety attack to boot. so feeling like absolute ****

I hate anxiety attacks!

At the start of this year i used to suffer really badly from them!
My housemate had to calm me down but i had some tea and took a long shower!
Other times all i wanted was a cuddle!

Sorry to hear about your dad, same thing happened my mum, 30 years with one company and she got rightly screwed over, has found it impossible to find a permanent job in the 2.5 years since. There's just nothing you can say to someone after something like that, no "Well on the positive side" etc. Hope he finds something else soon x

Thank you. Well we sort of do have a positive side, in that he is quite well-respected in both a professional and a social capacity - we really hope he can find a new job soon. It will probably mean having to start moving around again though. And I need to find a new job...stay with them? Will I feck :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear that your mam couldn't find anything permanent. I think you mentioned your mam was in the same industry as my dad (don't want to say it publicly), it's a crap one to be in right now.

Decided to delete my previous post, just in case. Ireland is a smaaaall place!

Minding my delicious baby niece. Her new favourite thing to do is to put on scarlet red lipstick and plant kisses all over my face.

I look like I've a bad dose of the pox.

Honestly, she is just the most delicious fragrant bundle of happiness. She makes my heart sing.

Sorry to hear about your dad EmilyO. My bf was one of the Waterford Crystal redundancies that got royally screwed and unfortunately he has been unemployed, in college, self-employed and unemployed, soon to be in college again, since then. I really think Waterford Crystal screwed up this end of the country in a massive way.

Hopefully your dad will find something else soon

Happy Friday the 13th Y'all!!
I am still here..
But...

Things are getting more and more disgusting so I am taking this as a good sign!!

Good luck Javagal! I hope it all goes well for you

Links I'm sorry you're not feeling the best, that anxiety attack really must have taken it out of you, hugs x

In other news I just ate an easter egg. Okay, it was a small one but still! My Mam brought them home from work during the week, 50c each I'm getting up early to go to the NEXT sale at 5am. Am I crazy? quite possibly. If I don't report back by 9am please, somebody, call an ambulance, I may possibly have been trampled on by some yummy mummies in search of bargains!

Is there ever anything good in the Next sale? I see it advertised at crazy times and I think it must be amazing but whenever I've gone to the Christmas one I always come out empty handed. I don't really shop in Next normally though.

Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend, it must be really hard to have to go through so much uncertainty. I seriously hope that things in this country pick up someday. Until I can leave, it's getting hard to keep putting up with so much disappointment.

Ah sure look, he's had more luck than most, at least he was able to go back to college, unfortunately that's not an option for a lot of people, especially older people that have worked in a particular field their whole lives, some of them just wouldn't be able for going back to college to study.

Fortunately I've a fairly rock solid job so we'll be grand.

I don't actually want to know really but I thought it only got "disgusting" at the final bit?

Anyone with dogs...is it ok to feed them mostly cooked slightly out of date sausages? Please say yes.

He was bad today unfortunately He was hallucinating and lost the strength in his hands. He looked terrible, not like himself at all. But he's getting his meds changed and a blood transfusion tonight so hopefully that'll fix him up. It was just a bit of a shock today- keep having to reminding myself that all this crap will be worth it when he's up and walking again

I haz an iceburger. Iceburger cures all upsets.

Really sorry to hear that, I hope things start to improve and get easier for him sooner rather than later. PM is always open if you need a chat, it's not the same thing but around this time last year my dad had a couple of heart attacks and it was a really terrifying time, even when he was out of the woods and we knew he was going to be getting better. So do feel free to vent if you need to, it really can be cathartic *hugs*

How far out of date are they? And if they are already mostly cooked I would just cook them through.

It is great for kids stuff. Their clothes are really good quality and hard wearing which you really need for toddlers! I wouldn't regularly shop there as it is quite expensive for kids day to day wear, but there are great deals in the sales.

Out of date yesterday but have been opened since the weekend, they smelt fine that's kinda why I was giving them to the dogs. They were mostly cooked I think,not browned yet but the bloody dog got them before I could put them back in. The owners are back tomorrow and I'm just desperate to hand all the animals back alive at this point :eek:

Ah that's grand, they'll be fine!

This is my first time working the sales but i have heard the queues are mental! I'd say 4.30 is grand! Some of the girls i work with were telling me that some people start queuing for our one at around 12am!! :eek:
But i cant say it might be different for your one though!

Don't forget to remind yourself, and cherish every single good moment you have with him

I'm embarking on a project to fix up the house I own with my ex that he lives in, so I can either sell it in a year or two (it's worth more than the mortgage) or move into it myself.

It's fun! I've done all the financials, worked it into my monthly budget, and am looking forward to little progress.

And I'd good news about my stupid injury that fecks me up all the time.

And I talked to the OH about something he does that gets on my wick and we sorted it out

Then today I had to work from home as I was too crippled to get on the bus, my boss was great about it, and I got tea in bed

This has been a lovely week Just a really settled happy week

Roll on next week and all of your ****e.

Tomorrow my OH and I are off out to price exactly how much doing up my house will cost, tiles and floors sellers, here we come, be prepared to haggle!
