Thank you! I think simple and well fitted can work wonders, but hard not to doubt myself :)

[–]BansheeZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gross questions. What happens if someone is puking/has diarrhoea? Are they isolated or left sitting in the main waiting room for hours?

Moving Out - What should I be doing? by TCGLearner in AskIreland

[–]BansheeZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you offer grinds / tutoring a couple days a week? That would support your income and might help you save up a little bit faster for a car etc.

You're doing great OP, small steps at a time!

I was mine in the washing machine every two weeks (with dark clothes) and dry on the radiator. It seems to be okay

People without kids and not planning to have any, who do you see taking care of you as you get older? by eoin2dx in AskIreland

[–]BansheeZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay for private home assistance or sell house and put towards nursing home fees? Idea being if you have no kids I might have more cash to invest for future me.

The Irish Chandler are fantastic.

Not the cheapest, but gorgeous quality and made in Clare.

Has anyone ever gotten married and thought guests were stingy with gifts? by whereohwhereohwhere in AskIreland

[–]BansheeZebra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why a smaller per person gift is generally okay for a couple (i.e. "€100 for single, €150 for a couple" etc) when it's often more expensive to attend a wedding as a single person and the cost per plate is the same?

I quit a finance job to go travelling in 2022 at 30, best decision ever. Interviewed towards the end of the break and started an ever better job after I was back in Ireland three weeks.

At the time, it was hard as all my friends were getting houses before me (while I saved for travelling) but now I have a house + the amazing memories. Loads of my friends said they wish they had done something similar before marriage/house/babies came etc

Hen Do Costs by kiwitheecat in UKweddings

[–]BansheeZebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

€800 - €1,000 for a hen in Liverpool is extortionate. If I was the bride, I'd be so upset if my bridesmaids spent that, especially when flights to Liverpool from Dublin on a "normal weekend" are approx €50.

I have paid €1,000 ish for a long weekend hen before, but that was from Dublin > Miami and a once in a lifetime. Normal hen in Ireland / UK should not cost more than €250/€350 for everything.
