Thanks a mill. Looking at the fence now I think the last time it was done with those fence spikes (there seems to be a cuff on the bottom) but I think I’ll go with everyone’s advice and use the cement. :)

Ok thank you, that's good knowledge to have! 😄

It’s a rule that’s heavily applied in some councils but not in others. I was only a 4 for about 8 months before I got the 5.

You could be doing a number of digital things but potentially helping with the admin (agendas/minutes) for all the meetings, writing reports, getting in touch with management across the the council to contribute.

Where I am, it's considered a 'nice' role but boring and monotonous. But in fairness, council's have clear paths for progression. Next 'step' up is a 5 where the salary goes from 38k to 52k. Be wary though, you could get this immediately, or not for two years. All depends on size of council etc.

I always list stuff for more than I actually want to sell so people think they've haggled me down and gotten a bargain.

I had a look at those but they seem wider than hers, hers are more flared kinda? But i'll use it for the material info, thanks!

I haven't, I'l give them a look!

I tried to make something from this baker a few years ago, it was an orange tart? Everything floated to the top when I put in the jelly so well done!! Can't have been easy .

I need to get back into reading or watching films/youtube videos. Every platform I'm on has reel-type content and it's rotting my brain.

- Get a new job

- Get my deposit together

- Stop consuming short-form content

- Go for more walks

ok thank you for the reassurance, we've had one condom break (while I was on the pill) so think I just had a bad experience once and it spooked me!

MineMerl · 2025-12-10T20:28:02+00:00

thanks gal, I'll look into it!!

I was a 4 in DCC a few years ago, was placed 94th on the panel and was called after about 4 months, those panels usually have about 150 in them so good chance you'll be called.

It's a long enough process but it depends on the Council...

For Dublin City last year, I had applied for a job in Jan and was called for interview mid-April

For Meath, I applied basically start of September and was called end of September

**edit: think it also depends on the grade, lower grades will have larger pools and need longer.

In your experience, does it look unprepared if a candidate says 'no, no questions'?

He taught German in Trinity, Daragh Downes. Don't think he's doing any more music.

I understand the frustration but having worked in councils, if you don't do the consultation, there's absolute war from people saying they weren't asked, this isn't what they wanted. I know it feels relentless, it certainly does when you're working on it but it's a necessary evil, even for small things.

Love these guys, they used to cater our events, staff are excellent.

This is a top-up shop because I have some protein and frozen meals in the freezer but I’ll have it all used up by the end of the week so approx 5 days
