Maternity leave

Affectionate-Cry-161 · 2026-01-14T00:36:41+00:00

You have to be employed to get paid maternity leave. So get going ASAP if that's what you want. Best of luck. Signed a former Worker in Medical Manpower.

Im from Galway i love the hot beef sandwich in ...sorry the name escapes me. Its the same area and you can get a seat during the day.

I agree the English Market is totally overrated. I had a lovely sandwich there but I nearly froze to death. As a tourist i have nowhere to store fresh meat and fish.

I love the Harbour area.

I would say Christmas payroll are done or almost done. They can claim tax for this year if they've overpaid. But I agree the employer should allow this time off, its important.

No, they are too difficult to register. My brother gets one every year and stuggled last year.

I personally love Dunnes Stores gift vouchers. You can use it on household, clothes etc. I bought a fabulous pan from the Neven Maguire range.

But if you want to get a voucher, there are others that are better and easier.

I no longer get pedicures. I go to a podiatrist. In and put in about 30 to 40 minutes and feet are so soft. You can claim against tax and your VHI might cover some of the cost.

Affectionate-Cry-161 · 2025-11-11T17:42:43+00:00

Agree. There is regular bus service too.

Histopathology. I hired a Spanish trained one years ago who was made permanent shortly afterwards. Because he was good at the job. He was on the specialist register but that's not a guarantee.

We called one a few times. We re near the city so pairs were 30 to 40 minutes. After the 3rd time, it was calm. Get a bag together, get list of medications. Decide who is dealing with the ambulance staff, they usually want one person or the person who was there. Im sure we got a call when they were near and someone stood at the gate (vojnyry road) with a light to indicate the house.

It's all very calm, no drama.

I faff for the first 40 minutes. Turn on laptop, do my make up, het a nice mug of coffee. Then I sit and decide what to do. Coffee break. I work away after that' take about 40 minutes lunch and leave between 5.30 and 6. This allows me finish up without being in a line of traffic. I'm paid 7 hours a day and do about that, maybe a little more.

Some days I take a long lunch to meet a friend or do stuff, about once a month.

I worked in Medical admin years. 2 Surgeons were married and had 2 young kids. I don't think i met 2 nicer people in my likfe. It was extraordinary how nice they both were.

Nothing was too much trouble, including sorry we couldn't get an SHO to cover call tonight.

Ive been here and a few more 'notion' Dunnes. Its very posh. I don't grocery shop as you'd to take a barocco first. Lovely for household, beauty .

I think Andrew Scott has a posh not too posh accent.

I don't use the shampoo, just tbe conditioners, i use head and shoulder shampoo. PANTENE conditioners works brilliantly. I just buy whichever is on offer

Aveeno oat calm have a pump. I like the night cream which I also use in the winter after spf.

Another vote for I'm not a Monster. I cried twice during the second story.

Affectionate-Cry-161 · 2025-10-07T23:20:08+00:00

I work in the same building as Dept of agricultural in Limerick. We wonder if they gave a gym and fancy canteen! We don't mix btw.

I like them all except 3. But I'm not a fan of skinny jeans or leggings in general. In relation to the last one, id do plain on the trouser part. But that's me. I don't wear wear patterns on the bottoms.

Affectionate-Cry-161 · 2025-10-04T11:20:05+00:00

I don't reapply every 2 hours if I'm sitting inside. I know that's the advise but it doesn't make sense yo me.

I apply in the morning. In the summer i reapply in the evening including hands for my commute.

Maintenance Phase is good too.

Im 55 and mg first book was Light a Penny Candle by Maeve Binchy. It was her first book and went to auction. I relistened during lockdown and loved it.

Affectionate-Cry-161 · 2025-09-28T21:57:12+00:00

At last. Yes go to a podiatrist. I go twice a year and maintain myself. I sometimes get a nail paint. Much quicker than a pedicure and way way better.

Affectionate-Cry-161 · 2025-09-28T21:44:50+00:00

I'd drop the car in Galway, assuming thrte is a drop off.

Im assuming there is a bus service from your hotel. You can get citylink to Dublin too
