My heads done in with my friend. I do semi permanent eyelashes, takes me two hours to do a set because you have to attach one lash to one natural lash. There's about 150/200 lashes on each eye. It's tedious and its 60 euro for a set.

My best friends mom asked me if Id do hers for her this evening, no problem. She lives quite far away but it's fine, she's paying me. My friend is awful for making any sort of an effort. If I don't go see her, we don't see each other. She only does what she wants to do and if she doesn't want to do something she uses the child as an excuse.

So last night she text and is all like "I was thinking you could do mine after my Ma". No I'm sorry I can't because your child will be with you and you have to keep your eyes closed for two hours. "Ok grand" she goes, pure annoyed. Then followed it up with "guess that means I won't be getting them done". I didn't reply, no point talking to her when she's like that. A while later she replied, "my Ma will watch her so you can do me after her". I'm sorry, that doesn't suit me. I'm not spending 4 hours crouched over separating each and every eyelash. One set is enough in one day. Obviously that annoyed her too, so she said about Sunday morning, to be in her moms for 10 that her mom will babysit.

UGH 10 am on a Sunday doesn't suit me. It's my only lie in the while week. I work full time. I commute 3 1/2 hours a day. I need to sleep and relax. 10 am doesn't suit me. Id have to be up at 8. Now she's in a snot with me saying that if I didn't want to do them, just say it. It's not that I don't want to do it, I just don't want to sacrifice my only time with lmii. I work tues-sat, he works mon-fri. Sunday's our only day together. We don't get to see each other that much.

Oh but she has a child, and she wouldn't expect me to understand how hard it is for her to get any time to herself and she needs to work around when suits her mother. ****ing tired of her, it, everybody.

Ugggghhhhh , so fed up with never having a full nights sleep. Am going to collect my mother soon to bring her out here for a few hours. It's only about a 45 min round trip but I'm so tired I'll have to drive with the window down a bit. It's really sunny too, so I'll be blinded. My mother will probably yammer non stop, then apologise for yammering at me while I'm driving, then continue on anyway. If I'm coming up to a roundabout , and obviously keeping an eye on the road , and I don't reply to something she has said , she'll be all wounded and overly apologetic. I'd kill to lie on the sofa

Being talked out of things I really want to do. I haven't bought any shoes this month, found a pair on the way back to work. On sale and everything. I got back to work. The Russian had put me on a shopping ban since the week I blew all my wages on shoes and a candle. I'm banned from grafton street, but not from St stephens green. Got these shoes anyway.
"They're stripper shoes. Bring them back. You don't need them. They're nasty. If I were your louboutins, I would be really offended you would chose them".

What to do she's right. But I like them. I bought jeggings to wear after work with them. Just call me tila tequila

Co-workers who can't keep their mouths shut about your personal life when speaking to the boss. If I wanted my boss to know these things about me I would tell her myself. They then wonder why I'm so private.
Co-workers who think it's okay to show your facebook page to other co-workers (who you are not friends with on facebook) and the boss (who you are obviously not friends with on facebook or in real life).

This. I don't know why other people are able to tell me about my annual leave requests, whether or not I am on flexi etc -

Fired up the car this morning, heating up on full blast and then scrapped the layer of ice of the windows.
Drove to shop.
Came out of shop and turned over the ignition, noticed the car was very silent. Gave it a rev, engine is working. The missing noise was the heater not working.
Windows were fogging up again so gave them a wipe.
Drove a bit, f*cking freezing in the car and the windows started to fog again.
Dropped it off to the garage to get sorted.

Started to walk to the bus stop to take an alternative source of transport to work. A blizzard kicked off. I was wearing a very light jacket and other clothes not appropriate for the weather.

Car fooked, me soaked and freezing. I've come back home and am trying to warm myself up. Oxtaill cup-a-soups galore for me today

Fighting with that f.ucking clutch all weekend too. Why is it so hard? There is a tiny margin between release of clutch and pushing accelerator that is so damned hard to get right. Added to that, I decided it would be a good idea to find a quiet carpark to do a few practice starts. So, off I went with Dad to learn shít I should have learned when I was 17 and what did I find there? Only loads of teenagers getting driving lessons from Daddy, there were about five cars all going around in small circles. Ah bless. It was the driving equivalent of a creche. Some of the more daring ones would give a little celebratory toot when a fellow learner would complete a lap at 1km per hour. And me there...f.ucking 31 and my aul fell too old for the adrenalin and probably thinking he should have brought a nappy....

In time, you'll be able to feel the biting-point - where the drive is just starting to engage. Don't be afraid to make liberal use of the handbrake when taking off as well, at least until you get the hang of it.

Dad said I either get excited when the car starts to move and floor it, or I panic and take my foot off everything. The cheek, I've "driven" an automatic for three years. I'm beyond getting excited or panicked when the f.ucking thing moves.

It's all about feel and timing, practise makes perfect. If it makes you feel any better I passed the car test in 2004 at the ripe old age of 32, after many years not bothering my hole because that time no-one cared if you had a provisional. :pac:

It's not a Mercedes is it, with that bollicky foot-operated "hand" brake? I hate those things, forcing me to do the Templemore Two-Step (a.k.a. the Hendon Shuffle) in a bloody car! :pac:

Haha no. I learned in a mercedes though so now every car feels like a midget car. I forgot about the handbrake. Stiff as a poker. Need some serious hand work to get that thing down. Er..... yes.

I keep getting that song "A thousand years" by Christina Perri advertised on my youtube account and I have ignored it for weeks now thinking, what a shít song. And I have just realised I was confusing it the whole time with "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton....which is a shít song. God have I been missing out.

If you pull it too hard it'll be stiff. Fnargh, etc.

Indeed. But if it stays too stiff for too long, regular fluid-draining and refilling is the way to go.

A tragic story reported on Sky news about a toddler who wandered outside during the night and died. What's annoying is that his family have launched an online campaign to raise 50k by Friday for his funeral Why would you need 50k for a funeral? It sounds cynical but I honestly find it hard to believe that this tragedy is not being cashed in on... :mad:

I'm not annoyed about anything!! In fact, I can't remember the last time I felt this happy. Way before my dad got sick, that's for sure. Two years and I feel almost like my old self!

Amazon's censorship of customer reviews. The drawer for the fridge door arrived with only a strip of cardboard sellotaped around the middle, leaving the ends exposed so that the drawer could be slided out from either end. Given that it's so delicate it should have been packaged properly, not so according to Amazon.

Even more annoying was the snotty email I got in response to the complaint I made to the seller about the packaging. They emailed me suggesting I be more polite and they would help me Guess what fcukers, I won't be buying anything from you again.:mad:
