Only certain types of pigs can swim. Pigs that we know can't cos their trotters slit their throats when they try

Yay new thread \o/

I had finally decided I need to start studying properly for college rather than spending unnecessary amounts of time making sure the few assignments I do have are perfect. So on that note I shall be doing around 7 hours today \o/

I also had pizza and junk food for the first time in ages this weekend (having stopped eating bread and other gluten containing foods) and I was completely lethargic and didn't feel great. So I've decided that I need to find better places to order food from when I do have friends over.

Happy Sunday people

You might find Thai food good to order when you are having a girls night in so? A lot of dishes are made with rice noodles, and there can be quite a lot of veg in it too depending on what you're ordering.

My diet out the window past few days. Feel manky with my cold / infections so eating whatever my stomach can handle.

This morning I had a magnum because it was cold and soothing on my throat.

No exercise either which is surprisingly driving me crazy mentally. I normally hate exercise but I was on a streak! But just don't have the energy.

Yeah exactly! Usually for those occasional dinners in college there's a wagamamas around (they have a pretty good menu I find) just need to find somewhere closer to home.

That or I suppose it'll be a few sides of chicken wings XD

When I was getting my car my uncle way trying to get me the older micra coz they are solid and reliable cars but he said they were like gold dust. He couldn't find one that was up to his standard. Then I started spotting micra's every where!
Now, this is one of those phrases that go, "I'm not racist but…" and proceed to be racist anyway but every second micra I saw had an Indian woman driving it.

I would drive absolutely anything if someone would buy it for me. Learning how to drive is a little difficult when my mum has her car (which I'm insured on) at work for 12 hours a day

That's why I gave up taking lessons. I found there was little point in forking out for lessons when I couldn't afford my own car to practice in or drive if I actually passed the test. That and the qualified driver rule which wrecked my head!

Paypal switched my primary card from mine to my dads.

I currently owe him a little over 200 quid.

Oh god it's a nightmare like. After I crashed Mum's old car (not my fault but still), they're terrified of letting me drive without a qualified driver. I have the ten lessons done but I'm nowhere near ready for a test.

I learned that from a Dick King Smith book when I was 10. I told my cousin who lives on a pig farm and he nearly broke himself laughing. It's a myth apparently and the little dudes love a swim on a hot day.

I have three Indian friends with Micras.

Can confirm that they have noticed similar, but have no idea why. (They may have also offered me honorary Indian status because of my wheels...)

Glad it isn't just me to have noticed!

Had a blast at Law Ball on Friday night but I'm still recovering now! I really wish I had a bit more confidence though; a lovely guy tried to kiss me and I didn't let him because I was feeling weird and thought it was a joke or something. Regret it now though, can't help but think that I was a bit mean to him and that kissing someone probably would've been the best thing for me, especially someone so nice!

I've cooked all morning and have dinners sorted and in the freezer for the rest of the week, so time to reward myself with some of the half price Ben and Jerry's I got earlier and watch netflix in bed

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! Congrats on the car, PP

Betsy (the car) has arrived at her new home!

Have to post this somewhere because it gave me a giggle. Was in Pennies today, doing a little bit of shopping for the essentials. At the bottom story of the store, there's ladies clothes and shoes, and the top story has underwear and clothes for men and children. Anyway, given that Valentine's is coming up, this store had corsets and sexy underwear at the top and bottom of the escalator. So I was on my way up to look around the underwear section when I noticed the man in front of me had turned entirely around on the escalator to stare at the corsets below (his wife/OH seemingly oblivious to this). When he reached the top, upon noticing more at the top, he proceeded to walk straight into a basket of clothes, evoking a giggle from me and a sigh from his OH. I spent around 10 minutes browsing upstairs and within that 10 mins, no fewer than 5 men walked into the basket! :pac: By the time I was leaving, I and several other female shoppers were in stitches laughing
In related news, I now have underwear for VDay that has the seal of approval for several bruised kneed men... here's to hoping my own OH likes them too

Watched some Gordon Ramsey at home, then went to see Dallas Buyers Cub which was awesome. Am now sitting in front of the really watching the first ever episode of E.R.!! So very retro! And I have a huge stack of books in front of me I have to mark

I have owned three Micras at this stage. I love them! First I had Wall-E, then Eva, and now I have Riley.

The older models really are fab, but my current one is my grandad's 08 that he left me. I love it too!

iwantmydinner

I drive a car that would probably fit a Micra or two into the boot

But my first car was a Feshty. Small cars are the business when you're getting started.

Had a brilliant weekend! Yay happy fun times

Anyone here going to Dublin Comic Con this year?
I'm currently sourcing accessories to my Vault Dweller costume on Amazon. They have inflatable machine guns!
I wish August would hurry the feck up and get here so I have something to keep me spirits up.

Jaysus, you're organised! What's a Vault Dweller look like?

I have to get my dress on myself for the law ball and it's a bit awkward to get on over my head (halterneck). I'm planning to get my hair and make up done in Benefit. Should I get dressed and then go to get it done or chance going home and putting the dress on over my hair?

I would say get dressed afterwards. I know if it were me wearing the dress all afternoon something would definitely end up down the front of it!

Just home from my little brothers birthday dinner. Such yummy food, and 3 separate members of the waiting staff came up to me to say how impressed they were with the little lady's behaviour. *chuffed mama*

Ilyana 2.0

Put the dress on after, god knows what might get on it, especially if the weather's bad. You can always fix the hair after

I spent two hours taking up the hem of my ball dress. I *think* it's okay, but Christ on a bike, it was tough going.

Just watched the movie "the book thief"
Such a beautiful movie but Jesus I'm all emotional now!

I decided to start skyrim again as a sneaky archer

Started playing Skyrim on mat leave as a distraction whilst waiting for bubs to make an appearance. I kept wandering off getting lost Must try and get back to it.

Sunshine, its probably a bit late to tell you now *looks at clock* but the next time you are going to the ball, wear something button-down to the hairdressers so you are not pulling the top over your newly styled hair, and then drape a silky square headscarf over your head before putting on the dress - the neckline of the dress will glide over the silky fabric without messing a hair on your head.

My mammy has a micra that I'm insured on, its such a nippy little yoke. Can I get a sari? I've always wanted one. They are so pretty!

How so Joe

Wha? How'd you manage that? It's not out til the 26th!??

It's my sister's favourite book, she's quite excited about it coming out.

IvyTheTerrible

I'm so efficient today, kitchen is cleaned, I have queen cakes made for liam's snacks, now I'm getting some work done, so Liam is watching Winter Olympics on telly while making duplo towers. He is mesmerised by the ice skating!

iwantmydinner

Got into the office SUPER early today as I am off to do ALL the driving for work for the rest of the day. Hope the roads in the Wesht are kind to me!

Lyaiera

I hope I'm not getting sick. My flat mate spent the past two days and all last night coughing and with a sore throat and chest. I just had a shower and nearly fainted in there. I had to get out and sit on the floor for a bit to get my head together. I hope it was just a mixture of being tired, raising my arms for prolonged periods and the heat but it's possible I'm getting whatever sickness he has.


(I've never been sick away from my family. I'm imagining it'll be awful.)

Little bro's GF had her big scan today, found out that she's having a little girl

Time to start buying some immensely cute stuff to send over to them

33 hours to this ball and my skin has erupted. Typical :rolleyes:

*High Pitch Scream* Oh my God do I love that book!!!! So excited for the film!!!

I splashed out and bought new hair ties the other day. I'm going to open them today. It's completely ridiculous how much this simple pleasure has cheered me up.

I was wondering why people were asking about smears in here til I realised wrong thread
on way home, I think half the office left at 4

Hahaha! Thanks! I want to get everything early so I can relax in the run up to August and not act like a headless chicken. I still have my old Space Gun from my first Vault Dweller costume from 2009 but I threw away the boiler suit during a clearout. Regretting it a little bit but what can you do? :pac:
Anyways, my costume will consist of this tracksuit:

I'm going for the Armored Vaultsuit look from Fallout 3 so I'm adding leg holsters, a utility belt, a shoulder pad, a kneepad and leather fingerless gloves. I'm getting each piece bit by bit but it's going to be a bit costly when it all adds up. Good thing they have second hand army surplus on Amazon!

Daphne from Scooby Doo caused me as much stress last Halloween :rolleyes:

I am freaking out right now, Daughtry just announced they're playing in The Academy in March!!!

God I love my brother! Was getting all stressed about my FYP for college, I had some idea the direction I wanted to go but I was a little bit confused and was switching from one topic to another.


Sent him a text as he did his last year, he rang me back, talked out my ideas, give me some suggestions to add to it, people to go to and completely calmed me down about it. He's just really good to talk to but then we've always been close enough. Just grateful I have someone like that to talk to! Feel like he's always gotten and understood me!

Always trying to cheer me up or make me laugh or stop me freaking out about something when he knows without asking, that something is bugging me! Love him so much, I'd be lost without him.

I don't mean to exclude my other brother, love him too, but I suppose he's seven years older than me so I'm naturally much closer to my other brother. I suppose we've just been through a fair bit together.

sullivlo

I've been called back for a chat after one of my interviews last week. I'm hoping this is a good thing.

On the downside, still half dead with this dose. Walked to chemist to get supplies earlier and needed a rest half way home

Brother annoying me. He borrowed 2080 euro before Christmas , he has given a good bit back, but he went to england to work for ten days on the grounds to pay me back in full. He also took my charger for my tablet that I got for Christmas and I can't even use it.
