No charity shop seems to accept toys anymore. I thought they just had too many after Christmas but I tried a slew of them over the phone again today and they said on health and safety grounds they no longer accept toys. What a waste to throw them into the bin (they can't go into conventional recycling as they're hard plastic).

Adverts , in the free section ?
I'm sure you wouldn't have them up two minutes and they'd be gone .

Crazy that some charity shops won't take them though . Our local SVDP still accepts toys .

I think the the recycling centres take hard plastics. I hope so, or I've messed up their system at least once..on second thoughts, I'd have checked with them before I dropped things in. So the one in Shannon does.

Until recently (?) plastic toys contained certain chemicals . I've heard they have been banned from a school I used to work for .

Grown adults who play videos out (very) loud in restaurants. And they cackled and gawked non stop.

Someone spat phlegm into my kitchen sink, from the looks of it. Charming . At least they missed the steel scouring thing, just about .

One of those mornings when the Tea Is just Not Right . I've re-made it a few times but it's no use.

My grandmother didn't swear but in her old age she used to 'come out with things' ('cause of alzheimers, I think )like tasting tea someone had made her and declaring it substandard by violently spitting it down the sink and roaring ''Rat's. Piss!''

I think it was really just a small act of defiance and her way of saying ''I hate you , you incompetent, selfish imbeciles'' (they were)

I'm TA because if I say it, nobody will get it. I was happy I remembered it, and now I miss my granny and my former husband who would've got it.

Ew. Last night's sink surprise must've triggered that memory . Weird.

Try a local recycling page if there is one. Or any kind of free page. They get grabbed straightaway on local pages here. Something one kid has grown out of, another might just be starting to play with. It's great.

People who think they're "edgy". No, you're no different than the next person. Maybe just more of a gob****e.

I just got a phone bill for 96 euro. Apparently the peel remote app that came with my phone managed to use 12GB of my data in the last month. It was also draining my battery and causing pop ups so I deleted it recently. Fecksake. Really should have paid more attention when Vodafone told me I was over my data allowance but usually I'm just a couple of Euro over. Grumble.

I wanna get a new stereo for my car so I can use Bluetooth for music. TA’d that I’m sentimental about getting rid of the old one. Ffs it’s just a CD player what is wrong with you? :rolleyes:

My family are going to love you for this as I usually always blame them when my things go missing

In case someone is interested, I've just come across this.

If there's a direct provision centre in your area they'll probably take them.

Not sure whether to complain about a beauty therapist, got an extended bikini wax and she used strips and today I'm left covered in bruises and in such pain TA I can hardly walk because of it and I'm too shy to say anything

I always think “if it’ll fly through, why not put it through yourself?” whenever I see that

Arnica cream from any chemist/health food shop for the bruising.
I've had that experience more than once, in the end I rang them between appointments and asked if they would mind NOT using the strips there as I had an allergenic reaction and to note it on my file.
Worked a treat and no discomfort as I wasn't finger pointing.

TA that its Sunday evening almost and I've not achieved a single thing I set out too.

Electricity company sent a text with a date to install replacement prepay meter because they put the first one pretty much on the ceiling and even the other person here who's over 6ft, can't see the screen and keypad .

But apparently they want to install a 2nd one and leave the 1st one where it is. I've no opinion on this as I'm only staying here short-ish term . It's not a problem for the owner , apparently . It still seems a bit odd. Maybe there's a valid reason , I don't know , or maybe they're stupid .

So the date wasn't suitable as I am never around on that day of the week.

''Ok, the installer will call you to book a different date for the IN-stall''

They didn't . Another text for the same day of the week , this week .

I decided it might be better to rearrange my plans instead of trying to deal with them on the phone again .

When I let an electrician from electric Ireland in, he was a normal person , capable of saying ''installation ''. He appeared to have more than two braincells to rub together and everything worked and was in the right place when he was finished . I don't know where this new company is recruiting from.

I was in blissful ignorance up until 5 minutes ago.

TA for tonight, had a bit if a moment, and it turns out if I cry straight after putting my nighttime moisturiser on it really stings my eyes... at least I'm now over the weepy moment because my eyes are so sore!

It's that time on a Sunday night where I've no idea what to be at. Watch a movie ? start a new series ? read a book ? so many options but will probably do nothing. Weekends are too short.

Glenroes?

What are you doing in here, mother ?

TA I was very very close to requesting an ambulance for someone who was ''having a heart attack ''. As his mouth was open describing his excruciating agony , moaning like he was bringing octuplets into the world, a ferocious burp emanated from him.

''Oh it was wind''.

You pr1ck.

I am glad he's ok, obviously .

This "potato potawto" thing ye see on TV. I have never heard anyone in my life say it the second way.
As for "tomaydo tomato". In Ireland, 90% of Irish people say "tamaha".
