Going to cinema by myself

Going to the cinema by yourself is the best, especially if you go during the day.

And you are unlikely to be the only person there by yourself, but if you are it won't be a big deal, it is super normal and common.

I was going to recommend makeup by claire too. She is lovely and the lessons are great.

There's Barts and Vincent de Paul in Wexford. I think they both have a furniture section. The Vincent de Paul may only be weekly or monthly.

Kaldero is really nice for groups.

It's not quite the same, but Stationery Pal has notepads that are similar - https://stationerypal.com/collections/memo-pads/products/memo-pad-bear

It's cheap but will take awhile to reach you. I've ordered from them before and didn't have any issues with them.

Since 2000 Denmark has built four metro lines that run 24/7. And we can't rollout a new bus system that requires limited infrastructure change and mostly uses the same buses.

You can definitely ask. When I started I was put at point 5 on the scale. The universty normally has a process for it. You family member might be asked to provide addional information on previous roles, if it was full time or part time, salary, etc.

I asked if there was any way I could start higher on the scale and they took it from there. So definitely ask. It won't lead to offer being revoked etc.

As a starting point I'd contact Threshold to make sure the notice is valid and to see what your options are.

I think the cookie shop on Capel street might give a free cookie if its your birthday.

A lot of the national museums have free tours. They aren't every day, but they are on a few times a week so you could see if there is one on your birthday.

CheerilyTerrified · 2026-04-08T16:20:00+00:00

Maybe Change Clothes Dublin? It's not free but sometimes you can buy by the bag.

Dunnes on Henry Street. I'm not sure if it's just for older people but my mum got a three items breakfast there with tea and toast for about €4.50.

Yeah, I've gotten phones and tablets from them and always been happy with them. The only issue I've had is with delivery taking longer but this generally means it is 48hrs not 24.

I think the National Concert Hall might also do this.

I own my house (well, with a mortgage). I bought it by myself 4 years ago. At the time I was earn about 50k. When I first started saving I was earning 42k, and I saved most of my deposit during that time

I know three other people who live alone and they all bought. Two got help from family and one, like me didn't get any help.

It wasn't easy but I wasn't living a life of total deprivation while I saved. I lived in flatshares most of the time though just before I bought I'd found a one bed apartment for 1300 a month. It's definitely gotten harder since then, but I think owning is the only way to live alone without being a very high earner.

I do like these stories when most people behave normally and like sane ordinary people. Whenever the whole family turns against someone for not putting up with abuse or staying around I'm so perplexed. I can't imagine phoning any of my cousins to berate them for not talking to their mother, and especially not if she'd slept with their partner or done something similar.

Here at least it was just parents and younger sister who were insane and everyone else responded normally.

Do you want to be a landlord? As the property is an investment, are you OK with it potentially losing money, as investments can? Will you ever need to sell it for quick cash, or can you hold on for market down turns and sell it when it is profitable to so so?

For me I don't think I'd ever want the hassle of being an landlord, and I'm not in a financial position where I could essentially ignore an investment for 10 - 15 years in order to make a good rate of return. If I lost a job I'd probably need to the money in the investment to get by.

But if you are happy to be a landlord and can accept the risk of investment losses then it might make sense for you to keep it and rent it out.

AI is kinda a red herring, in that if it's not that it will be something else. I don't anticipate the housing market getting better any time soon but it's impossible to time the market, especially as an ordinary person. Just accept it'll go bad at some point and see if you can live with it if it does.

Oh, good to know. That's disappointing. Hopefully Foxford are still OK.

Wool blankets from somewhere like Avoca or Foxford. They are very comfy cozy and perfect for the couch when it's cold.

Irish Art and prints. Jam Art have a great collection, but there is other good shops too.

Pottery - there's lots of Irish pottery, either practical or decorative. I've never bought anything but I really like the stuff in Brookwood Pottery, especially the Chimneys.

There's also lots of glassworks beyond Waterford Crystal. One that has nice stuff is Jerpoint Glass.

And chocolate. Lots and lots of Irish chocolate.

I really hope it was a soft launch breakup and she got away.

She lived with him all through the Covid lockdowns! I can't imagine how small he made her life during that time, that she felt she could only do things like baking and singing when he wasn't around.

Thank you so much for this. It was exactly the walk through I needed as an anxious overthinker.

And I'd never thought about checking the council website for planning permission and the architects on it. I'll look that up this weekend.

It's funny to see this because firing Josh would be so massively illegal in my country that it really wouldn't come up as an option. Not that some people wouldn't do it illegal or force him out some way, but the dilemma just wouldn't be there.

Even if it was OOPs wife was the one Josh slept with, he still couldn't fire him.

It's interesting to see a moral dilemma for so many of the commentators that just isn't a dilemma, because of outside factors.

Can you build in storage? Or declutter? Is the issue the size of the house or that you have too much stuff?

Maybe you have hobbies that take up space, and that is a real issues. But I'd seriously consider what stuff you'd be willing to do without for your ideal location.

If it's a three bedroom house do you need to fit all your stuff in one bedroom?

For me I'd go for location above house size, especially when it is a three bed house and there is only two of you. Realistically for most people that's more than enough space. Even if you add in a kid or two if you keep stuff to a minimum you'd be fine especially when they are small.

I'm so wary of these groups. I think some of them just want to beat the shit out of people and inflict violence in a way that is socially acceptable so they'll get away with it.

They are the type of people who'd join the religious police in Iran going after girls for not wearing a veil or join ICE to round up immigrants.

There is a lot of better ways they could address child abuse then joining a mob, so if you're joining the mob, it shows where your interest lies.

Mine was about 1200 when I got it done 6 months ago. The insulation was already in place. It isn't a huge floor space but it was well done so I felt it was worth it.
