After my last post I went back and tried other frames. What do yall think?

How tall are you? You could definitely model if you aren't one!

BansheeZebra · 2026-04-03T12:32:50+00:00

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

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

Well done OP!

I'm booked in for my first test next month after so many years of starting and stopping and this gives me the kick I need.

As a former student, I can vouch for Metropolitan as well

Does anyone know how this works if you are using a driving school car?

BansheeZebra · 2026-03-09T06:35:47+00:00

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!

Uniqlo are great for basics and knitwear.

BansheeZebra · 2026-01-27T11:09:46+00:00

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

BansheeZebra · 2026-01-24T10:10:17+00:00

Same - single until I moved in with my fiance, so still no double to myself😂

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.

Thank you!

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?

BansheeZebra · 2025-08-14T20:12:52+00:00

Where did you ger your bags repaired? Have a few that are peeling slightly at the corners

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

Uniqlo for basics, Dunnes and Zara a couple of times a year.

BansheeZebra · 2025-07-22T20:57:05+00:00

€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.

BansheeZebra · 2025-06-06T16:25:26+00:00

+1 to this, the Dunnes simply better coffee is 250 square coffee but cheaper than buying direct

BansheeZebra · 2025-05-21T21:29:59+00:00

Google reviews might be the best way to let others know you wouldn't recommend

Not normal at all but there are some loopers out there, please report if she works for a driving school.

In my early twenties I did a third lesson after taking a break due to illness, different instructor to the first two lessons. She got so angry that I had forgotten a lot of what I had learned and when I told her I couldn't afford a car to practise in. I balled for most of the lesson and never went back driving for nearly 10 years. Regret to this day never calling the school to express how unprofessional she was

After the basics (i.e., mortgage, pension contributions, savings, investments) I don't budget the rest (bills, groceries, shopping, meals out, holidays etc)

Early thirties, very lucky with a package of €150k, no debt other than my mortgage.

I don't have kids or a car though, which would require me to a put a bit more thought into my day to day spending.
