What's the healthcare like out there Daisies for things like that?

I may be over reacting a tad, it's probably just a bug, I'm sure I'm just run down from lack of sleep and a lot of running around sorting out the graduation.

On the plus side, someone commented on my blog saying my description of the graduation brought tears to their eyes

KamiKazeKitten

Ahh Daisies you poor thing! Hope you feel better soon


Why does it have to rain when I'm going out? :mad:

Morning all. Wrecked, I'm planning on 12 hours sleep on Saturday and I swear if the security guards outside my house start shouting to each other at 6am, I will not be held responsible for my actions!

So, I found out 2 weeks ago after I got home from holidays that my mum and dad are splitting up after 24 years of marriage.

I've spent since then trying to get my head around it and I think I've finally got there (with the help of some friends ).

Mum and sisters are away to Spain, they booked a last minute holiday to get away for a while. Haven't spoken to my da in a week (although this is pretty normal).

Would have been 25 years married in October (on my birthday, I was their first anniversary present!). Bit surreal like.

Sorry to hear that man, hope you're alright and that its sunk in somewhat.

Ah jeez sorry to hear man. Hugs x x

Sauve

Ah awec I'm sorry to hear that. Like you said, it is surreal and it'll take some getting used to, but if both your parents end up happier as a result then that can only be a good thing.

ToxicPaddy

Sorry to hear that mate. Must be a tough thing to be going through something like that but some good mates always help in situations like that, just someone to talk to really helps.

Morning all!

@Awec: I'm really sorry to hear about that mate! Hope you are managing (as well as you can be) - and I'd be pretty sure I speak for everyone in here (the regular posters at least) that there are alot of people here for ya!

KamiKazeKitten

Awec, sorry to hear that! Hope you're ok dude

Thanks folks. I feel better now than I did last week.

That could also be down to you sobering up after the holiday Awec :pac:

I jest obviously - glad to hear you're feeling better!

HAHAHAHAHA, that's so so so true :P

Kev.OC

Sorry to hear that Awec. Like Suave said though if both your parents end up happier at the end of the day then maybe the split is for the best. It's a tough situation to be in, but separated and happy is better than together and unhappy.

Hope you're coping alright.

Hyperbullet

Sorry to hear Awec, all you can do is be there for both of them and remember to talk to people about your own thoughts as well.

Panthro

I'll take a more unique approach to your current situation awec, you missed out on a few pros and cons.
(warning, light hearted views on growing up with separated parents since back in the 90's below!)

Pro- Double the presents on birthdays/Christmas:D
Con- Sometimes you end up having to eat two dinners at Christmas, and that's a lot of turkey and stuffing, take it from me, pace yourself.:(
Pro- If they live in separate houses, there's a good chance at some stage one of them will be away for the weekend, in which case you tell the other parent your "staying at dad's house"..go to his while he's away and have a social gathering:pac:
Con- Get the other siblings in on the plan, if they rat you out, you don't have "good cop, bad cop" you have "bad cop, bad cop" and that's a lot of cop.:eek:

Hermione*

I lol'd, Panthro :pac:

So sorry to hear that, awec Shock can be a terrible bugger to deal with. Hope you're ok, or getting there

It is true, I know the different between slurry smells and silage I have also commented on how "good that soil" is!

P.S. I like how both of you typod culchie. Or is cluchie the culchie way of spelling it? :P

I am just wrecked and can't spell, it's clearly culchie

CastorTroy

Sorry to hear the news awec.

And nothing wrong with being a culchie. I've gotten called that by Dubs before. Guessing just jealousy of us knowing of places that exist outside the pale.

Came home this evening from work to find a bird(sadly of the feathered variety) in my kitchen. Don't know how it got in. Need to get back to those Sherlock Holmes books to give me ideas of how to solve this locked house mystery.

Have you a fireplace CT?!

Hope you originally finshed with "But that's not important right now"

I'm assuming the dvds are of the JFK assassin and details of the "moon landing"

Liam McPoyle

2 horror movies.

This is the link to the last one I saw sold - Linky

The one I have is even rarer because it is signed by the director/writer.

Fecker!!

That's mad Necco. Must start looking into horror films so! :pac:

Liam McPoyle

Its unusual for a single dvd to go for that much but if I can get even €200 for it I will be happy out cos I only paid about €14 for it!

Pembily

Morning all!!

Thank feck it's Thursday

How's the bidding going Nec?

xDramaxQueenx

Can't sleep and am so tired!

Hyperbullet

Morning Pemb! How are ya?

In a mixed mood today. Had two lovely croissants for brekkie along with a strong cup of Lyons tea (got hooked up with a box of it) and I'm feeling good. Have to head into town shortly to get my residents card which is great too. Normally I'd cycle into the town centre, however my bike got nicked the other night, which is pissing me off dammit!

Seems it's normal behaviour to steal bikes over here. Bunch of waffle loving-lovely beer having-bike stealing f*ckers.
