So I know there are loads of lovely Dublin loungers but seriously, we are coming for ye in the football final. Like, for real. Kerry4Sam2015.

Also, if there are any Mayo loungers, have a word with the lads. I mean really.

I'm from the kingdom how hard do you reckon it'll be to get tickets?

My book comes off free promo tomorrow. And then I see what the effects of my marketing push will be. I've had over 1,000 people download it while it's free. It's turning up on the "People who looked at this item also looked at this," lists. And It's ranked in the top fifty, and sometimes top 10 for free books in its category.

Hopefully this will slide me into profit, after all the expenses I've put into it for covers and promotion costs.

I started reading it using the "look inside" button. Twenty minutes later I made myself put my phone down cause I was going to be late! I like the premise and writing style. Will be downloading it!

Though maybe not until after my exams...

Best of luck with your exams. I crazily singed up for a year long course, that actually has exams and assignments in it. It's a photography course, so hopefully it's different enough to my uni days that I don't wind up with flashbacks to assignment deadlines, and instead can pleasantly assess the impact of photography as a medium.

Once your exams are over Waterstone's have a drinking game you might be interested in. I've yet to play it but it looks like it'd be good fun.



A comfy couch with optional blankets and cushions is probably the only other requirement.

So I took up art today. I am not talented. :pac:

^ I don't have a creative bone in my body. Unless it comes to decorating my house. That, I love

Been in work for an hour, already had 3 people moan at me about things. I don't care. I really don't. Tell it to someone else.

I'm in a sling

I hurted my shoulder last year and it's still giving me awful trouble. Saw consultant 2 weeks ago and he injected it and it made it worse! Saw GP yesterday and she gave me meds and told me to keep it up.

Can't cycle or swim

SillyBeans

Oh no!! Hope you feel better sullivlo. At least a sling means you should get some sympathy from people for a while. Use it as an excuse to be lazy

Oh, I meant to tell you lasses, I found a tiny one-eyed kitten by work today. He was tame enough, but nervous. He stayed about a metre away and meowed at me for a while. One of the secretaries and I brought him over some milk, but we couldn't find him. He still wasn't around at lunch and the milk went untouched.

He was a little tabby, and it looked like he lost the eye to another animal, but the wound was healed well. He definitely wasn't looked after at the minute - sort of charmingly mangy. Poor baby.

iwantmydinner

Boo sullivlo, hope you start to heal up soon. Things that linger like that are such a drain.

Yay Ilyana! Delighted for you. Well done! Although being a grown-up is WAY overrated.

Oh give me three months and I'll be lamenting the fact that I'm not in college anymore. In the meantime, yay for weekends off!

I want to be back in college. Or a millionaire with no need for a job....or exams...

^ Ditto!

Thread.

Why you so quiet?

Lyaiera

I'm all antsy for Monday now. My full time photography course starts then, with two days of classes about photos then a day off to take pictures and then two days in the studio or darkroom. Dedicating my time to all photos sounds great fun. It'll stop me worrying about my nothing graph of book sales at least.

I think kittens are supposed to be lactose intolerant
Hope he's ok and shows up again!

I kind of thought so too.

But the other lady has five kittehs and she poured the milk so I assumed it was ok.

Maybe his gut is mature from a difficult start in life???

How's your poor shoulder doing?

It's okay. Still quite painful - I've tendinitis in my rotator cuff and a tear in my labrum. I could do with an anti-inflammatory med, but I've got really bad reflux. I'm due for a scope next week so am on reduced PPIs this week, so even an auld neurofen rips through my tummy.

Shoulder aches though. Every movement hurts. Will ring back the consultant next week and see what he says.

It's a really crappy day for a wedding. It makes everything so much harder than it needs to be.

Agreed. When it's raining, it makes going or doing anything like a bit more effort and you wonder should you really bother doing something cos it's raining. I'm doing a 10K tomorrow and not looking forward to being wet and miserable. Also need to get a little run or even just stretch the legs this evening but I don't want to if it's raining. Also the Cannonball Run is starting today and I took a mad notion that I should bring the car-mad son straight after school to Carrick on Shannon (about 45/50 mins away) to see them. But it would be a pain in the ass if it's raining.
GO AWAY RAIN!!

I've got tickets for the Arsenal game tomorrow, normally we're high up behind the goal so the weather doesn't matter. Tomorrow is the one day we are in row 6 on the halfway line... :eek:

sullivlo

Have booked to go to London for the RWC. It's only for France Romania but it's another game. Yeah! Cardiff next weekend. Trying to sneak another game in too if the funds allow.

Headed to Brighton after the game too to see family and stuff. They got a new puppy! Yeah!!

Never been so happy for it to be a Friday! The sleeping tonight with be mighty Downside is there's a massive spider in my sitting room, saw him last night and screamed and ran upstairs. He scuttled away under the couch. I've a horrible feeling he's gonna be hiding out in my pillow tonight waiting to eat me I get a bit irrational when it comes to spiders!

So rather than my usual trousers/suit outfit I decided to wear a dress giving my presentation today.

I had on a new slip that I'd not work, and hold ups

The slip bunched up around my waist and kept annoying me, but even worse, halfway through the presentation one of the feckin holdups fell down all way to my knee

I spent the rest of the presentation looking like a constipated pig, as I was pressing my knees together to stop it falling down further :eek:

When we were done and I was leaving the chap who I was liaising with asked if I needed to use the loo:eek:

But also sending on sympathy. And tea.

I wore holdups to work once and one fell down too - never again! Can't think of a worse time to happen than during a presentation though!

Once you feel one start to slip down, there's not much you can do to keep it up.

Indeed . I forgot to mention that as I walked out of the building it slithered down my leg I had to scuttle behind a wall and fix it

I'm not a fan of tights but they really are the only reliable thing. I don't think I'd leave the house in hold ups.

My feet are soaked after the briefest of trips from car to destination >_<

There was a doggy at work today!

And I downloaded lots of good music yesterday.

Can anyone recommend something that's easy to watch and very good and funny? We just finished It's Always Sunny in Philly.
