Still can't make it out of the estate in the car. Spent all day today out digging out the car, but it ain't going anywhere with snow drifts on the road.
Hopefully once the main roads are done the council can start to clear some of the smaller roads, although looking at Twitter, everyone is in the same boat so we could be here for some time!

At least I got talking to the neighbours today after maybe around 2 years of just nodding and smiling at each other.

You are not... anytime you feel like a chat, send me a pm and I'll talk all night to you.
There's many people in the forums you visit would do the same - I hope you realise that

You are not. When times are bad the real people who want the best for you will surface.

I'm a firm believer in the above - Chin up, can't always be red roses.

After being trapped indoors for days, I decided to venture out for a walk.
But I don't have wellies so I wore my Ugg boots.
Mistake.

Bloody things got SOAKED after ten minutes and it felt like there were puddles inside my boots.
Did I turn back and walk home?
No.

I stupidly decided they were only puddles in my boots and wouldn't kill me and sure wasn't it lovely to be out and about?

But all the paths were COVERED in hard snow, slushy snow, ice, and rivers of water so it was very hard to walk.

The hat I wore to keep me warm was now causing my scalp to sweat profusely, so I took it off. Strands of hair then stuck themselves to my face, making me itchy.

My gloves were sweating my hands so I removed those too.
Then I dropped the gloves in a big icy puddle.
Left the fcukers there.

I was an hour into my "walk" when I decided to nip into Tesco to see if they had any Pringles for tonight.
None.
And no other crisps I like.
Left empty-handed and almost heartbroken as I envisaged the walk home.

Kept looking at cars going past, hoping my other half would have wondered where the hell I was and decided to come rescue me, but it turned out later he'd fallen asleep in front of a good film and hadn't noticed I'd gone.

Got home, feeling like I'd walked from Mayo to Dublin, soaking wet and thoroughly fed up.

I am now wondering if I really have to move off this sofa for the next week.

Trigger Happy

I seem to have a chest cold which has knocked the wind out of my sails.
And supermarkets. Was in a couple today and they are bedlam.

Tuna is the worst food imaginable to have as a back up, I bought a fair few tins on special in dunnes my whole apartment stinks of it. Now I need to get up out of bed to cook some chicken or I'll have to eat more tuna, NO MORE TUNA PLEASE.

Sorry to bogart your epic rant but one of my favourite games to play in weather like this is "Spot the inappropriately dressed person" and Uggs are up there with Converse in my Winter Wall of Shame. A friend of mine did the exact same and had to throw hers out. I was like "What in God's name were you expecting? They're untreated sheepskin!"

Anyway, I hope yours are salvageable and you thaw out soon.

I'm getting electric shocks off everything the last day or two.

Went for a walk today and my TA is inconsiderate idiots. Lots of people have shovelled their driveways (and not test of footpath). Grand I can accept that people don't want to clear a path for people to walk on. What really irked me is when a couple of people left mounds of snow either side of driveway on the footpath so high that it it forces pedestrians to walk on road or climb over the mound. How hard is it to think of others and their safety. Leave a small portion of the footpath free of the mound so people can walk around it.

Same here. Now mine's just a small, built-up pile of snow. Unfortunately, these events are inevitable, but it's understandable why it's a TA.

Deep ridges on my ankles from wearing tight sports socks.
I look fake pregnant.
Running out of bottled water again.
Need to wash but don't want to take clothes off.
Place looks grim now with no pretty snow.
Want to stay up for the Oscars but too tired.

Fast thaw here means that there's no water in a decent chunk of the city because of burst water mains. This is going to be a huge pain in the arse if it isn't fixed quickly.

I couldn't drive my bike to work as the roads are still a bit dodgy so my husband dropped me to work before heading into work himself. Because my husband starts work earlier than me, I knew I'd be in an hour before my actual start time so I said I'd have breakfast in work (I work in a hospital). First I bought my usual coffee in Costa and then I walked over to the little cafe place that serves food.

First TA - I bought 2 rashers and 2 sausages, €4.20.
Second TA - I'm not sure if the rashers were ever hot and they're not a bit crispy, who wants soggy fat on their rashers?? Noone.
Third TA - €4.20 for shite food?!

Felt like a tit getting one for myself. So I passively aggressively packed the dinner I made with all the vegetables I could find cos I know that he hates veg. :cool:

That Bernard fella on 2fm in the mornings. I'm not sure who he is but he seems to think he's a comedian. His whole shtick is purposefully misunderstanding pretty much everything that Gerry Ryan's daughter and the other fella say and making it into a joke.

I recently moved office and the lady I moved in with is a 2fm listener, which is fine, people can like whatever they want, but the quality of the presenters on the station is absolutely diabolical.

I have often been dependent on that cafe for food and it really is ****e!

My local for here Dunnes has instated a "no trollies" at the self-scan rule. Which means that I cant shop there any more. I have shoulder issues and cant carry a basket that has more than a handful of light items in, the belts on the tills are so high for me that its an issue as well. I never had a large trolley of items to scan through, so it's not like I was taking any more time than the new to self-scan types.

Now I have to go across town to Tesco, which is further away and had dodge security in their car park.

My housemate here has discovered local garages sell kerosene to top up heating oil tanks between deliveries. He is now OBSESSED with it, how cost-effective it is, how handy it is to buy and store, where the local outlet are, how hard/easy it is to get the right kind of plastic containers for it. Did I mention that he's OBSESSED?
Also how it took him all night to figure this out, (he is looking for two extra plastic kerosene containers)
23€ if he filled his own container with 20L of the fuel,
27€ to buy the outlets own prefilled 20L container.

Drank rather more than was strictly necessary over the few days being snowbound. My Christ, the DTs I had last night. So not worth it.

Just FYI this can seriously damage your oil tank and as a result your entire heating system. The more you open the lid of the oil tank the more opportunity for dirt, dust and debris to get inside. The build up of this detritus inside the tank can completely destroy an oil system. This is why it's better to get one large delivery of oil to your tank from a company. It means the tank is only opened once every 6 months or so rather than once a week for top ups.

TA: Being dropped with a pile of work at short notice with no idea where to start.

Delirium Tremens i.e the shakes. Christy Moore has a great song about them where he imagines doing things with Alice Glenn (one for the oldies that)

So we will have water restrictions from 7pm to 7am for the next few nights.
Mostly because of leaks (bad infrastructure) and people running taps overnight (dopes).
Big TA.

Down with another cold. Day 5 of it now and it's annoying me. I only had one a few weeks ago. Sitting here in work with no energy and with lemsips coming out of my ears. Worse than a hangover.
