TG1

Went home to the parents house to just relax after a tough week. I'm sitting in the garden reading a book and it's fabulous. But my dad fixed the water feature and is so proud that he has it on all day... I don't have the heart to tell him having to listen to it should be classed as a form of torture....

Tks guys, had a lie-in today then went for a walk to the shops. The "great"b thing when I'm down is I find I spend less money - not going out- so if I look at the money already spent on going when I didnt as a sunk cost, I'm better off by not having to spend more money. (that makes sense in my head!)

Just saw a pic of myself taken at Parkrun this morning. Dear god I need to lose some fùcking weight. TA'd at my lack of self control with food :mad:

TA I've a bad knee as a pay off for a great day of gardening yesterday. It would be great to do more taxing things like that with no consequence other than tiredness.

An email from a client mother, demanding to know why I ignored her child's questions on the journey back to the drop off point.

Ta'ed I cant email back "has it slipped your notice that your child is obsessed by the referendum posters and I cant talk about such things without your permission?". "The permission you have not given me even though I asked for it when it became obvious your child was drawn to them"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!:(:(:(:(:(

Don’t be too hard on yourself, we all have a tendency to pick out things we don’t like when we see photos of ourselves. FairPlay to you for doing the parkrun I run one in Galway too and it’s a great friendly running environment

Flux sake it's raining outside.
19oC earlier and now flogging down.

That's strange that it's an issue you can't talk about, I wouldn't mind if someone said to me that as per prior agreement, they avoided talk about certain subjects ? Why can't that be discussed in the open? Sorry maybe it's obvious, I know nothing about your work

Hung out washing yesterday thinking it would get a lovely drying this morning in the morning sun. Nope! It's fucking raining since 4am so the clothes are soaked and need to be rewashed. I can't even go out and take the clothes off the line because my shoulder is still fucking killing me so I have to wait for my husband to get up and do it for me.

Additionally, nearly every Sunday morning of mine is ruined by idiots hunting without permission on our land and their fucking dogs barking so loudly. The noise goes through me.

TA'd that I keep hearing about Big Tom. I know it's sad that he died and that we was a legend in country and Irish music, but it's been all I've heard about lately. I don't even like country and Irish

In essence its part of child protection, its standard for us to ask permission from parent/guardian if its ok to explain certain topics if they evolve naturally in communication with the child. In this case "why is that baby on the pole" and "what does that word mean"?x100000, mum has not indicated how she wants the subject handled, so I erred on the side of caution.

The ta here is then she gave out to me for this caution, even tho it's her decision to make and inform me of.

Trigger Happy

I got the inevitable questions from my 7 year old about the referendum today. I reckon I handled it ok without scaring the wee fella.

But a bigger TA is an article in the Independent during the week on how to answer awkward referendum questions from your kids. Sounds like a good read I thought. But no - it was written by someone who had explained the birds and the bees to their kids when they were 4 and their advice was starting from that basis.

Feckin modern day hippies!

justfillmein

^^ boils my blood that. I'm part of a few groups on fb that have a lot of 'open parents'.
I thought I was one too, until a particular birds and bee's convo came up.
someone was asking what age is it appropriate to have that talk.

all going well, until the parents who think it's ok to go full info with four year old's, because "if they ask the question, they are ready for the answer" type sh!te.


TA also that there are parents who explain the actual mechanic of sex with four year olds!

no four year old needs to know that a penis goes into a vagina.
it's called age appropriate. you can talk to them about adult relationships, without feeling the need to tell a near baby, every single detail.

If you look at countries which teach sex Ed from early on, they have much lower instances of teen pregnancies and stds than countries that teach it later. They tend to have much healthier attitudes to sex in general. Seeing it as just a bodily function. Should be done age appropriately of course!
They also tend to have more body confidence and more confidence to consent or not as teenagers. Because they see nothing embarrassing about discussing it.
Also research suggests that kids who know the correct names for their body parts are less likely to be sexually abused.

TA'd that I'm "that person" in a lighthearted thread, but it's an important subject I think.

Just met up with the In-laws in a garden center/cafe, had a walk, all nice and when we got into the car, it wouldn't start. The fkn battery has gone just right now and my car is now parked 20km away and I have to sort the repair out tomorrow somehow. Also of course just before the renewal of the insurance is due. I'm fuming.

Your insurance probably covers a call out to charge it.

Nope, my insurance is just a third party (car is old) and I had a matter before where they would have charged me a ridiculous amount to get that matter resolved because it wasn't covered.
I'm having an AA membership though, but that's not as good as the neighbour who's going down with you in the morning with a cable for a jump start and a tow

I feel your pain. I took Mr Crumble's car out today and got a bloody puncture. had to ring him to come and change it. I know how to do it in theory, but trying to do it in practice is another story.

I'm the same, if my car gets a puncture, yes I know how to change it, but there's absolutely no way I'd be strong enough to do it myself

My toaster drives me mad, it's one of the super cheap white Argos ones, it either only slightly toasts or incinerates the bread. I'm eyeing with a DeLonghi but I can't spend 60 quid on a toaster at the moment! :mad:

What is the deal with toasters being so small? They only fit that crappy square bread. If you use normal bread, you end up with the top not toasted :mad:

It's nice that the weather is finally heating up but now I'm waking up in the morning with hives on my legs Both my legs are destroyed with the scratchy fcukers and the only thing that's changed is it's warmer now, so I'm blaming that.

There is a barbers in local shopping centre and they have ropes at front of store to designate where to queue. Basically you should queue along the wall and out of peoples way. My TA is the stupid or perhaps selfish people who decide to ignore aforementioned ropes and queue in such a way they are now blocking the corridor . I just don't understand people.

The inability of Irish people to simply say goodbye once at the end of a phone call and then hang up.

"Bye, buh-bye, bye, bye, bye". This irks me beyond all reason.

I was literally just asking my partner the same thing, what's wrong with you saying it more than once?
But what's even worse is Eoghan McDermott's "Love you BYYEEEEEE" to every caller he has on the chow, I cringe every time.

Liars! "No I'm not drinking" then why have you a hidden bottle of coke with vodka in it and also why is your speech slurred? and why are stumbling when you walk.

The amount of "poor me" posts after The London Marathon this year. All by casual runners "I finished in a time of 5:21, not happy, feel like I let everyone down".

Fella, you were running for charity, the charity gets your cash that's the most important thing. None of us could care if you broke the 2 hr mark or the 12hr mark.
Some lad died after collapsing at mile 2.5, the fact you missed your "goal" mile of 6 mins is inconsequential.

In the queue in the shop this morning and there was a toddler behind me in a buggy. Said toddler kept kicking the back of my legs for the duration of the queue while his mummy giggled at how hilarious her precious was.
"He's such a rascal, sorry!", she said...I can think of a better word than rascal.

Also what's up with communion girls looking like mini brides these days?
Was in town yesterday and saw a little girl wearing a strapless mermaid dress with a boned bodice covered in sparkles and ruffles.
It looked so so inappropriate. Such a pretty child but she looked dreadful.
She wasn't from a certain demographic of society either, which you'd usually associate with such wear.

You're not missing anything there, let's just put it like that, people spend ridiculous money on them to wear it for a few hours.

When you come back to your car in a car park and your mirror is pushed in..I'm home now and can't even check to see if it's marked because my blood pressure is sky high from just seeing it.

My toddler has picked up some sort of open vowel accent recently. Crèche has become crash, daddy is now daday, can I is now cawn ah. He knows it's annoying me and is doing it more and I'm ready to bang my head off a wall rather than listen to it further.

TAd at my lack of patience today, at my lack of sleep last night and at my toddler for speaking like a southern belle.

Trying to build up the courage to check my online banking after the weekend,it gives me anxiety and takes a few attempts..today there's 380e between my balance and my available funds..just take the money ffs and stop reminding of all the ridiculous unnecessary spending I did over the weekend.
