Mmm...duck and pancake... I mean, congrats Ivy!
Congrats to you too, RK! I like egg. Or unicorn. I feel like a Rainbow Kirby would have a baby unicorn!

I don't get how insurance works. In my 2014 policy I had a small accident that wasn't actually my fault but ended up going on my insurance so as I had open claim at end of policy I had to stay with the same insurance company. Claim came in about a month later for a little over €200. Didn't have €200 to spare at the time to pay if off...so just paid it off there at the end of 2015 policy to give me back a 2 year no claims and reduce my policy renewal costs.
So I paid like €2xx last week...and today I got a cheque for nearly €700 from the insurance company of a refund for what I paid on last years policy.
WTF?? why didn't they just take it from that rather than me paying up last week? Anyway...I've a cheque to lodge that I wasn't expecting and that I really needed right now 0 -

You never know whether you should fight back or not!
Ah I'm fine now tbh, it was more the shock, and waiting to see if she'd reappear before the bus arrived.
I'd not fight back much tbh, if she'd been more aggressive she would have had the phone, she was spaced out though0 -

Asked to work on the transport team for the remaining Twickenham matches, just need to confirm everything, so I'll be working post match for the QF's, SF's and final!! Excited isn't the word - means I have a legit excuse to be and around Twickenham early on those days and soak up the atmosphere as I don't have to check in until HT in each game.
Had a lesson observation last Friday, after only four hours sleep and having worked a double day (7.30 to 1.10 at school, then 3.30 until 10.30 in RWC media centre) - that day ended up being the day from hell. Met HoD for breakfast at 6.30, into work for 7.15 preparing the observation, taught first two lessons, lesson 1 being the observation, break duty, two lessons followed by a quick trip to the shop to get food while on my phone organising something, came back about to sit and enjoy 15 minutes of silence and relaxation while eating to be told I was supposed to be in a meeting, followed by last lesson, then an extension class until 4. So no break from 7.15 until 4.
Did the England v Australia game on Saturday working after match transport - was great fun. Even got my own light sabre and team radio - did at one stage get lifted off the wall I was standing on. Number of people who said thank you was amazing though - you don't do it for that, but it was really nice. 1000% sure you wouldn't get it doing a football game!
Anyway, got the feedback from my lesson observation and she said if I had to give it a grade, it would probably be outstanding Going through a funny time atm, where I'm kinda putting myself down as the marking that we have to do I simply cannot get my head around, and I cannot seem to get myself organised. I think this weekend will be clear out sh*te from my bedroom as that could be having a negative effect - its fairly messy!! 0 -

Good for you
The job I work part time in we get assessed yearly, and my last assessment, my asseessor told me it was not designed for people like me as we don't need it.
Then told me he fails 25% of people he assesses
I was very flattered.0 -
Stheno that's horrible, glad you're ok
It worries me sometimes, how vulnerable we really are and how easily someone could harm us. Heard a story at the weekend that really shook me actually. This girl was telling me (in the middle of waxing my legs and lady bits haha) that last year she opened her door to let her dog out before bed and noticed the gate was open. Her boyfriend went to close it, thinking he forgot earlier. Suddenly he was screaming at her to run. Two men in balaclavas with axes had broken into the garden and were waiting for them to go to bed but her boyfriend had disturbed them. One of them smacked her dog over the head with the axe and then chased them out of their home and stood at their front door while they ran down the street screaming for help. She hasn't been back since and they had to move in with his parents for a while until they got a new house sorted as she can't go back to it. Only upside is that her doggy was ok in the end!0 -

I fought back once. I was 15 and mugged at the bus stop on my way home from school. It was in the middle of o'Connell street and not a single person came to help, even though there were 6 of them! Ended up grabbing one of their tops and wouldn't let go until they gave me back my phone and bag. The guy ended up biting me so I ended up in a&e getting hepatitis tests and had to have follow up blood screening done a few months later for HIV. Also ended up having torn a muscle in my neck.
No phone is worth that! Fight or flight though, and I fought.
I wouldn't fight again though. That's for sure.
Hope you're okay Stheno. And congrats to Ivy and RK. And belated birthday wishes!0 -

Do you know what, it's hitting me more now.
I tend to just womble along and do my best to avoid people and getting in the way, so when it happened, I just reacted.
Then after it happened, I was afraid.
Now a few hours later, somewhere (i.e. that bus stop) is somewhere that I now feel is dangerous, so I'll plan in future to get there just in time.
I just don't want that sort of confrontation again, it was really horrid.
I don't often work in the city centre but when I do I use that bus all the time, and never had problems before, but today really made me feel horribly vulnerable0 -

As my mother would say, a nice shot of brandy for the nerves will sort you right out
I've never had a physical altercation with anyone luckily, it must be a horrible experience. Treat yourself to something nice, it'll distract you a bit too. It'll all feel better after a good nights sleep (I really am turning into my mother!)0 -
Ivy and RK congrats on the baby news!!
S&S Happy Birthday
I really hope you are ok! I also get my bus from there
Similar thing happened when I was heading back up to Dublin from home. They didn't get anything and I came back with a fcuked up shoulder.0 -
