    Ifyou are a first time buyer, there is a guy on Instagram, crazyhouseprices that people seem to swear by for giving tips and guidance on his page through the house buying process. He has a few things in his highlights that might be worth reading anyway - he also has a book out. Just thought I'd mention it :)

    Had my first lie on in a few weeks, have just polished off a couple of sausage and rasher toastie sandwiches, second cup of tea about to be made. Don't have to be anywhere in a rush.

    Have a voucher for a local tool shop so will go down there and pick up a few bits that aren't going to cost me anything, have to get away from going into work on Saturdays and enjoying mornings like this.

    It really is the little things.

    Our match was cancelled this morning as pitches were deemed unplayable. Was never so happy to have a game called off. Can get the grocery shop done at a leisurely pace for a change.

    Yes I got to enjoy the rugby. Bittersweet feeling after the World Cup.

    Jobs going great just trying to be a sponge and absorb as much information as possible. It is the same area as before so a lot of crossover thankfully!

    VERY bittersweet after the world cup, but good to shake those world cup blues/cobwebs quickly and move on.

    Great to hear the new job is going well!

    Got my official offer of a place on my masters course for September this morning. Had a strong feeling I'd get it but there's a lot of competition for place so it's a relief to have it.

    Takeaway and bubbles tonight😁

    Would have been wt the match only we had a night away booked. Instead had to find a pub that would show it (man utd match on at the same time). But then we stayed for the next match to see who we'd be playing in the semis 😄

    Booked a few days away in Spain today, going in just two weeks. With Mam dying two weeks ago I just said to the wife - life is for living. Cousin has a place over there, getting it for free, cheap flights because we could be flexible with days and times.

    Just going to go over there and chill out for 5 days.

    I'm still bitter over the 4 game saga in the early 90s... 😉

    All kidding aside the GAA need to do something, croker was about a quarter full today, 10 years ago that would have had 60k at least at it.

    Championship starts too early imo.

    Yeah enjoy the break, getting away from the day to day will do you good given everything you've been through. And you're spot on, life is for living, think we all allow ourselves to forget that far too much.

    I was at the 3 draws, was working for the fourth and was gutted when we blew it at the death.

    Great drama though, made the championship, especially with no back door in those days.

    Down beat us in the final, they got off to a good lead and we hadn't the energy to catch them.

    Just checked and Meath played 10 games that year and it took us 8 just to win Leinster!
