My skin is so dry it's cracking on my hands and almost bleeding. I hate the feeling of moisturiser on them but I'm forced to today.

TA'd that I can't do the basics to look after myself. Always looking at other girls in envy with perfectly manicured hands while I look like someone diggin the ground with my bare hands most days

The La Roche Posay range is great, and not too pricey. I use the facial moisturiser, before that I looked like I was scrubbed with a brillo pad. I think the hand cream is about 16 euro, but a little goes a long way. Your poor hands in this cold weather, very painful.

How can you know exactly how long bread is going to last you??!

I think I have some Roche Posay for the face which I could use. Using some l'occitane and diprobase tonight. when I venture out again, eventually I think I'll get some hydrocortisone as there are a few bad spots. Total neglect on my part

I mentioned in an earlier post I crashed at 7am straight into a wall about 20 mintues walk from where I live. The insurers asked medid I know who owned the wall as they may pursue costs for any damage done so yesterday I took myself off down there walking in a bilzzard/thunderstorm (eejit) really but wanted to let them know if was someone's home. I haven't lived here long so hadn't a clue and ovbiously was in a bit of shock at the time. Any road it turns out it's the exterior wall of a petrol station which I checked for damage and there's none. TG.

Cheers for the recommedaiton.

On the way home from Dublin this afternoon some moron decided to overtake a line of cars going the other way outside Carrickmacross and nearly forced me off the road.

The N2? If so drivers on that road are my TA.

Woke up hungry even though I literally spent all day yesterday eating. Does looking out the window at the snow and occasionally going to the door to take photos of the snow really burn up that many calories?

Also, can't stop farting. There, I said it. I tried to discreetly open the window but my husband was giving out about letting the cold in. I don't think he realises his other option is to suffocate from the gases.

CrowdedHouse

My bins blew over during the night. The recycling is full (and would normally be collected today). I think I have frostbite from gathering up the bits. Feck this weather!

Along Came Betty Hands that do Wishes is the best hand cream I've ever used. I get cracked and bleeding hands every now and then because I seem to be allergic to an ingredient in certain soaps and it clears it right up. It doesn't have that oily texture a lot of hand creams have and it smells lovely.

TA that I keep having allergic reactions to soaps and certain makeup products but I keep neglecting to go find out what, specifically, I'm allergic to.

TA#1: Told to go home from work yesterday at 1pm and wouldn't be back till Monday. Left work, went home, did what I needed to do, lit the fire, let my wine breathe, just poured my first glass and got a work text to say red warning was lifted, all production resumes at 8am. Well F*** it anyways.

TA#2: Windscreen was filthy driving into work, washers frozen. GAH.

TA#3: I'm the only person in my section of an L shaped office and blocked from the sensor for the lights, so every now and then the fookin light turns off and I have to get up from my desk to get it to turn on again. (may just leave it off next time and have a nap!!)

Oh also TA'd that the boards app isn't working on my phone since yesterday! Deleted it and reinstalled it and it won't load anything not to mind let me log in.

I had planned on finishing off a scarf I had been making during the snow days but I ran out of wool (I thought I had a spare ball but didn't).

I actually have a 'hape' of paperwork that I need to get done and now is he ideal time to get it finished but I have NO interest nor motivation..

My friend is in the queue so I can jump said queue!!
Why?

Why do people think this is OK? When it happens you think, maybe they are shopping together and will go to the till together. Nope. Two separate transactions. You just blatantly skipped the queue!

A neighbour tried to get their car out. They got stuck and it's now blocking 3 other cars from being able to move.
He just walked away from the car after wheel spinning for 20 minutes and has left the car there.

I guess I'll have to go and shovel him out.

I only have eggs left for lunch because I didn’t do a big shop before getting snowed in

Husband thinks son needs to "man up" because he only enjoys being out in snow for a few minutes and then cries to get back into the house....

Son is 2 and a half!!!

I've basically been eating since Wednesday. At this rate, I'll be so fat I won't be able to lift my knees up high enough to walk through the snow!

That's a TA? I love eggs, they're tasty, versatile and oh so easy to prepare

I wish we could get all the healthy stuff eaten so we could concentrate on eating the bad for you stuff at the bottom of the freezer.

Asshole neighbors.
The last two days I cleared the snow and salted the footpath outside my house and their two houses.

Came out this morning to find that they had cleared outside their houses but not an inch past the boundary line.
I'm so glad they've sold up and are moving.

My gang here seem to have lost the use of their legs since it started snowing I'm like a maid delivering food to them when they're in the house and when they come back in after being outside they just drop wet clothes and boots all over the place...I don't remember signing up for these terms and conditions ...I'm officially resigning from this thankless job.😂

Miss Russell

People who always have to outdo everything you say. I work with a guy like this. Lately examples include, "you think this snow is bad, you have obviously never lived in Sweden where we get 1 metre of snow." Or when we had some sun in Ireland last summer, I would say "wow its hot today", his response "you think this is hot, I lived in Dubai where it was 50 celsius in the summers." Grr just f**k off!

The gutter just came crashing down off the front of the house with the weight of the snow and knocked the SKY dish. What am I supposed to do now?????

When a person asks a question on a forum and only gets a few 'use the search function' style replies and no proper answer...

... then a few months/years down the line you're looking for an answer to the same thing yourself and have to wade through dozens of 'use the search function' reply threads before finding anything of use. :mad:

I've had a rental car outside the door since I crashed mine on Wednesday. Only have it for 5 days, doesn't seem likely I'll be driving it anywhere only back to where I got it :pac:

TA Not missing the water till it's gone.

Also:

TA annoying people who use annoying proverbs/memes/etc

People who simply must verbalise everything. It's as if they will explode unless they get words out of their system. It's like some form of self-absorbed cathartic release for them. Every thing does not need a comment. Every thing does not need to be talked through and verbally analysed. You do not need to take a side and polarise feelings even more. You do not need to use dramatic superlatives that result in a resolvable issue turning into a dramatic big problem that gets people worrying or angry.

There are loads of times when saying nothing is best. I wish more people would feel the silences and get a sense of things/rooms/situations rather than having set responses. In many respects these people are like the people in conversations who don't listen to or soak up the information because they are too focused on thinking about their next verbal response to focus on what people are actually saying.

Reading reports of the looting of the Lidl store in Jobstown I saw one media outlet use the phrase, ".......They literally decimated it with a stolen JCB.......". Really, so they destroyed a tenth part of it did they?
Now that's a trivial annoyance.

I've never understood that phrase to mean remove or destroy a tenth of. It makes sense now that I think about it....but to me it always meant destroy altogether.
