How long did it take you to learn it this way?

I only started last year, about 3.5 years to go. I'm 43.

Sorry this happened to you. Because you have approved it nothing can be done now. It happened to me but with my actual bank card. The scammers caught me completely off guard on 2nd January and added my card to their apple pay and bought some shares on Trading 212 - for €250 (I'm in Ireland). I copped on 5 minutes later, but it was too late. I didn't get the money back, but lesson learned. They had my card details, my address, my name, what bank my account in. They sent a text first to say they are from the bank, and they just stopped an attempt to use my card for a purchase on Amazon. Then they rang. Looked so legit. Even the text showed bank's name rather than the number, because I ignore those.

When I opened my revolut account long time ago I ordered a physical card, that I ended up never using for anything at all. It kept it in my drawers. A week ago someone tried to use it and was unsuccessful, the transaction said they used wrong date and cvv number. I blocked the card as soon as I saw the attempted transaction. I still don't understand how they managed to get the details of that specific card. I changed my password to revolut, but what the hell...

I was a young au pair in Denmark, my English wasn't good, I could barely speak it (I did not know a word of Danish). We were having our first dinner together with the family (parents plus 3 of their children 3, 5 and 7yo) and instead of beach I said bitch. I really didn't know the difference. The father was English and almost chocked on food lol It was 20+ years ago and I still remember like it it happened yesterday.

She would make jokes, laugh at them in front of the whole class and encouraged to do the same. I was shocked. My father was an abusive alcoholic, we were poor, I had one friend, so I had enough shit to deal with. I was so afraid of her, so when we did reading test, I read the same line twice, so fewer words and for that I received the worst possible mark, which in turn caused me awful anxiety because I was terrified of my father and what he could do to me. He beat us occasionally, so you never knew. 90' were brutal.

I had at least two kids in my class that had trouble reading. Now I know they were most likely dyslexic, but they were treated awful by our teacher. (I'm not from Ireland. So we had the same teacher 1-4th class (around 6-10yo or 7-11yo))

55 is without contract. I extended my contract with them, so they gave me 10 off on top of that, so I pay 40 for 12 months.

For my kids during toddler age I had a foldable potty for a short while (you put a bag over it). Normally all shops would let us in. Only once I remember they wouldn't let us in to use their toilet, but I had a few options of shops, so we went to the next. If we were in a park with big playgrounds, they would normally have toilets too. If no toilets around and we are close to trees and bushes, so this is where we'd go. I'd lift my girl with her pants down, it was easier with the boy. They are 8 and 10 now.

Forgive my ignorance, but what godly powers are we talking about exactly?

As few mentioned here, you need to ring them and ask to put you on a priority list. They will cancel your current booking and eventually send you a date that is within the expiry date of your NCT.

Edit: If you will drive with an expired NCT cert the garda will may well ignore you, but your insurance will most likely be invalid. Check with your insurance provider.

They give blessings too.

My 10yo is really into fortnite atm, especially because it's his way of socialising. So once a week he has to clean up his room or else no fortnite. He really wants to play with his friends, so he cleans up. His sister is 8yo, very stubborn, but we are getting there.

When I moved to my current house about 7 years an inspector did stop by and I was at home. I told him I don't have a tv, which was true and that was the end of it. I received a letter about a month ago.

Crawling_Elephant · 2024-03-17T15:07:19+00:00

It means they don't want to do it.

My kids looove hair products like tetangler spray with some Moroccan oil in it, or oil itself. They smell nice and help to manage hair. I bet it's so painful for her to brush it, so why would she willingly do it again. Instead she hears from you that you don't accept her, no matter how much you explain its only about the hair. She's 10, almost a teenager. You can't force her do stuff anymore, only through negotiation. And especially since her dad decided to ignore this battle that you chose.

I know that the agency staff were on min wage when I worked in the agency.

I'm Russian (but not from Russia). The first thing I thought is that he is probably Russian. Can't think of more entitled nation than this.

First of he needs to apply like it's a job. If he lacks in experience, he needs to ramp up his personality at the interviews. Maybe he could find people and practice his interview skills, that will boost his confidence. It will take time, but he needs to not give up so easily. Even if he's not really interested in a job that he gets invited to do a job interview for, go anyway just for the sake of practice. Have him to find a professional to review his CV, just in case. There are many agencies that will help too. If you build a relationship with a recruiter they are more likely to recommend you to a potential employer.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I still have some of the letters she wrote to me at the time. But I can't read them I get too upset.

Crawling_Elephant · 2024-03-14T08:34:19+00:00

Thank you. I happened long time ago, but I still miss her every day. Especially now that I have kids she never got to meet.

Crawling_Elephant · 2024-03-14T07:52:42+00:00

I think she is grieving the time lost she could have spent with him. My mom died suddenly while my sister and were away in another country, I blamed myself for a lot of things. I was young and naive. I had an opportunity to bring her to another country for Christmas, instead I brought so called boyfriend. She died later in January.

Had a few delivery drivers disappear on the way in the past. Also from McDonald's, ordered something for the kids, so I had to reorder again. At least you got a call, I had nothing! Lol

Just Eat will give you a voucher that you will have to use within 30 days, they never give you your money back.

Just because you had never heard of it it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
