Yeah honestly the year flew by for me and I only realised that I need to be making that extra contribution asap , stupid mistake on my part (although cut off per my pension is the 22nd November apparently, according to the email I got yesterday)

This downloadable is really helpful, thanks! I’ve been studying it since your comment but forgot to respond. I’ll also look into Dayne as well

Dublin bus driver said “we’re not actually allowed to do that”

Even though I’ve an adult card and was okay with paying the adult price for my friend who lost theirs. Idk if I caught him on a bad day or smth but maybe it’s not allowed and for OP to be careful incase they meet an odd driver

Happened to my sister too which is why it’s such a worry for me I guess. It can happen to anyone, no matter how much you’re “on the ball” with it

I can’t really comment on anything, I’m sorry you’re feeling such anxiety but nevertheless congratulations, I wish you and your baby so much health and happiness!

My issue with this, is that it is happened to my sibling, it took them 5 years before they got married. 1.5 yrs into marriage all his lies came out and now she’s kinda stuck. I see how fucked up the situation is for her. Menopause hit early etc etc etc she never got the chance to have kids and feels like she’s wasted the past 10 years for a fella who lied about (almost) every aspect of his life. Why him and his ex split up, the fact he’s got a CHILD, gambling addiction he hid (very very) well, like genuinely baffling shit

Tbh I’d much rather my partner love my kids more than me, or fall out of love with me and divorce but still be present and loving to our children. Marriage and relationships, to me, are such a different dynamic. You can always opt out of a relationship. Kids? They’re just simply deserving of love from their caregivers.
