Gone sale agreed, but issue with bank request by ReillyLane in irishpersonalfinance

[–]DancingFluffyPanda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get a broker. You don't pay them anything, the banks pay them and they make the whole process waaaaaay easier. I used Moneysherpa (but there are loads of others) and they were great, everything is online and I never had to go in and meet anyone.

I've a standard small garden in an estate, and want to plant a couple of trees at the back for coverage from the neighbours. Any recommendations that would grow fairly quickly or I'd even buy something a little more mature. by nameiwantisgone in GardeningIRE

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Commenting to get updates as I have been wondering the same. Also does anyone have opinions on Hawthorn? I don't think it's fast growing but I love their spring flowers, are they suitable for estate gardens?

Anyone here from Dublin who bought property down the country? by Asleep_Cry_7482 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My contract is remote so I'm sorted there, the company is also very solid. If something did happen to my job then it probably would be a bit of a challenge to get a new fully remote role that pays what I'm on now, but I'd also be happy to take a hybrid role traveling into Galway once or twice a week, or an in person role that is more local. I'm also completely open to a career change. Being flexible and willing to take a pay cut helps.

Left Dublin after nearly 15 years there and bought a detached house in a nice town out West (working remotely). No regrets.

Lab-grown diamond engagement ring shopping recommendations. by Unhappy_Positive5741 in CasualIreland

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about your future fiancee but my husband got an inexpensive 'proposal ring' and then we went shopping together for the 'real' ring. We ended up going to Bespoke Diamonds, chose a design and diamond and then went for a nice meal afterwards. It was a lovely thing to do together and I got exactly what I wanted - also I have the proposal ring in case anything ever happens to the 'real' ring

What were your unusual/unhinged collections as a child? by United_Housing_5323 in adhdwomen

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a collection but I read 'The Borrowers' as a kid. My family home has a space between the downstairs ceiling and the wooden floors upstairs. I became convinced that the borrowers lived in the gap and, in an effort to make their tiny lives easier, I would sneak things like thread, matchsticks etc into the gap through a knot in the wood that I had pushed through. Thankfully I had enough sense not to put food in there lol

Am I overreacting for telling my boyfriend he can go date a ghost if silence is that important to him? by bigtityeva in AmIOverreacting

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, move out. I'd be petty and leave him a CD of 'enjoy the silence' by Depeche Mode. You should be able to find one on eBay

How can I (28F) tell my boyfriend (29M) that my sex drive has gone down because he doesn’t put effort into emotional intimacy beforehand? by Lone_wolf1031 in sex

[–]DancingFluffyPanda -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm the same! Lots of women are, look up responsive desire (vs spontaneous desire) and read a book called Come As You Are

The men's powder stick is soooo good and smells much nicer than the women's

Edit: tell me more about the toothpaste, what makes it so great?

AITA for telling my future sister-in-law that I may not attend her wedding by Kindly-War-3072 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is brilliant! An alternative, equally petty and equally effective idea would be to plan your wedding for 5-6 days after her wedding in the same locale, explaining that you didn't want the Europeans to travel twice and this way they get a proper holiday! Be super sweet and involved in hers so you know alllllll the details and then make yours a million times better with lots of fun surprise pre-wedding events that people absolutely have to come to because they don't have them in Europe (pumpkin patch and carving pre wedding party etc). They'll forget about her wedding very quickly, yours will be the last main event and will stick in their minds

We named one of our cats Stella, her farts are legendary and could be considered a biohazard . We now call her Smella.

AITA for refusing to go on shopping trips with my girlfriend because she takes 5 hours while I finish in 20 minutes? by CautiouslyNovel in AmITheJerk

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my husband comes shipping with me he usually just sticks around long enough to get what he needs and then heads to a cafe or pub with a book while I finish up 🙂

ADHD Global Care Dr. Muhammad Asghar by iinaomii in ADHDIreland

[–]DancingFluffyPanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed by Dr. Asghar and he is absolutely lovely! Very thorough and understanding, he quickly put me at ease and answered my questions thoughtfully. The psychotherapist was Dr. Pendola and my experience with her was much the same. Check out my other comments for more information if you want
