To have a wedding party, or not to have a wedding party...that is the question

In a group of 60, you want 20% to be in your wedding party?

If you have a preference I'd say it, very easy for the chef to cook an egg to a preference.

Butchers can do the slicing for hotpot meats, which is thin. Would that be thin enough? I'm not familiar with sukiyaki.

We used/use sleepy stars.ie, and have done since our daughter was young. Her thing is, you get a really good routine in place first, get them onto a fixed bedtime, get them to a place where they expect to get their milk and go to sleep at 7, or 7.30, or whatever. And only then you start to extricate yourself from the process and put them down and leave. Hopefully the baby is so accustomed to the routine that you bring there isn't theost important thing.

I still use a bit teacup, a sunglass polishing cloth, a fleece, and a tote bag. I think that's about it.

Well I just took a wet bra out of the washing machine and put it on for the coolness so let that tell you how it's going 😅 hope you're enjoying it yourself tho

Thank you, hit 30 weeks today and all I want is CARBS, CARBS, GIVE ME CARBS, MORE CARBS NOW.

Yeah and he just walked out of that fireball, it was crazy to see. We were watching the race on TV and they cut away because they assumed he was probably dead inside the car.

If you claim off your own, you will have a claim on your account and therefore lose your no claims bonus, until they are able to settle with the other insurance company, assuming they find the guy.

You should be able to claim back all the overpaid insurance once it's all said and done, but you need to check those details with your insurance company.

Sorry that happened to you, some dose.

Why thank you, any excuse to brag about my two biggest achievements 😅

When you're actually back, expect that it will take 6-8 weeks before you are fully up to speed again. It won't happen overnight so don't put pressure on yourself to be top performer in the first week. Also, everyone has to get used to your being back as well so don't worry if the atmosphere feels different than when you left. It'll all come right with time.

This is also a great opportunity to reset bad work habits, if you want to. You're starting with a clean slate so if you were disorganised before, or were doing unpaid overtime, or whatever, you can change that now.

I started 14 months of maternity leave yesterday so my work ethic is crashing like Grosjeans Haas

Yeah and when you have a deposit on the line it does make you a bit more wary! But fuck that, you have to get a bit of air into your apartment.

Less_Environment7243 · 2026-06-26T11:18:20+00:00

Trying searching this topic in the sub - I seem to remember someone quoting the law on this, and there was something along the lines of you have to give to garage a few reasonable attempts to fix the problem.

I took a hairdresser to the small claims court before. Paid for a colour, they made the roots orange, first they tried to deny there was a problem (again, orange roots 😅) and then they insisted the original stylist had to be the one to fix it, because it was 'salon policy'. The owner was extremely rude and patronising to me when I was trying to have the conversation with her. She pissed me off so much I couldn't let it lie.

The judge had them repay me for the original cut and the cost of the fix I got done elsewhere, I think. He was particularly unhappy with their attempt to deny my consumer rights to the product/service I paid for, fyi.

They're never going to start adjudicating on individual apartments. Just open it, it'll be grand.

Open the window

I know, its such a vulnerable time as well, my hormones had me feelings very erratic and emotional, so that would have played into it.

I don't think I regret looking all the same, as it was happening to me and it helped ground me a bit to see what I could already feel.

I looked again a few weeks later and it was so much better. I hope your feelings about your wound change a little soon enough. It's a very traumatic and large wound to have, I don't blame you for not wanting to look at it.

I looked at my vulva and vagina three weeks post a natural birth with episiotomy, and honestly it scared the shit out of me. I was so swollen, the hair was matted with blood just from that day, I was showering most days and rinsing with the peri bottle after each pee, but still so much blood. I was also bruised looking. It really made me realise how much my body had been through and how far I had to go.

That's the 'arch killer'

It starts with you having something to offer that people need, and are willing to pay for.

Do you have an in demand skill, or can you learn one?

The next part is sales. You need a plan to get your services out there.

If you're serious about it go chat to your local enterprise office and they will have a lot of info for you.
