    I did a huge sneeze that went up my skull somehow and nearly blew the top of my head off. Two broken bones, one recent enough and one from years ago are giving me owies again for some reason.

    Went to Lidl last week with a load of ReTurn cans and forgot to actually use the shaggin vouchers. So went back to that same Lidl today, with more cans, queued for a fookin age for the machine, and forgot to use BOTH sets of vouchers this time. Realised as I was loading the bags in the car. Like a demon since.

    Father’s Day, minutes before a feast is plated up… phone rings, he answers, it’s the needy sister of his, he’s off upstairs, rummaging in cupboards whilst still on the phone to her and sounding stressed….40-50 minutes later he reappears , the rest of us have finished, and looking annoyed no doubt but nothing was said…just “ so Auntie K was it ? “ … “ well yes, bad timing I suppose, but sure, mines in the oven ? “….

    I was always a bit ambivalent to her eccentricities but fûck that, how many fathers days might be left at my Dads age and this carry on out of her…….couldn’t have waited till tomorrow or at least tonight to contact him looking for whatever, always looking for something off him, but today ?!..…people 😒😏

    That term 'melt' (to describe someone) is trivially annoying to me. I'll accept that some English people say it, but utterly despise when Irish people use it.

    Also annoying is when I do my shopping but get distracted when I arrive home, and don't put the frozen things in the freezer. Stuff sometimes melts…

    Use them to bake banana bread or muffins.

    Got a 10% Ebay discount code earlier.

    Unexpectedly won an auction a few minutes ago. Paid for the item but forgot to use the code.

    Judy Dench is my TA, an Oscar winner, respected, quality, busy and successful actress over decades… whose net worth is estimated to be over £30 million… yet these days is to be seen on daytime and late night TV doing cringey hammy adds for money supermarket…..what next Helen Mirren appearing in adds for funeral plans ?

    Probably an easy two days work for a six figure paycheck but she can’t exactly be in need of it.

    My MIL calls people "his/her nibs". I'd never heard it before I moved up north. But our cat is 'his nibs', her BIL is 'his nibs', her friend is 'her nibs'. It's just ever so slightly annoying me.

    Also since her husband passed away she's been starting to suggest that she downsize. But wants a very specific type of apartment on a particular street. And of course all the legwork is left to her son and I to do. It can be very difficult being an only child.

    It's very much a British expression. You don't hear it often used in Ireland. I worked in the UK for a number of years and heard it used quite a bit

    When I moved here I had all my household stuff, including a very expensive Hoover. After a while, I asked my sib if he wanted to use it in the house as I wasn't using it. He tried it and said no as he didn't like the suction.

    I put it back in the wardrobe and it had been there almost a decade, now I'm letting go of stuff and this was taking up space, I gave away its bags and put the Hoover in the pile for a trip to the recycling centre. He hooved the whole house with it and is in the horrors with me for 1. Not giving to him sooner 2. Giving the bags away as they are so hard to find now.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    After cooking myself a special lunch and almost finishing it, I was asked three times(in the amount of time it takes to eat a chicken sausage off a fork) what time the ex-neighbour's funeral was the next day and today. As this one doesn't hear NO in any version I had to look it up to get enough peace to finish the soon of food left.

    And ppl wonder why I have disordered eathing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've heard the expression but I don't know if it was just from English television or also in Ireland when I was a child. Probably more the first one.

    You should ask your mother-in-law if she buys anything from this website. 😀

    It wouldn't be from niblings. The etymology is uncertain but it might be an irreverent/playful version of 'nobs' meaning a superior or someone (seemingly) posh. I'd say Hyacinth Bucket would be called 'her nibs'.

    She appears to use it indiscriminately so its definitely not related to niblings or posh people. Almost like saying 'yer wan'.

    New TA is a colleague who is acting like a child when it comes to team meetings. Being deliberately obstructive and disruptive. Won't give straight answers, won't turn on his camera when asked, answers queries like a sullen teenager. It's torture.
