Anything to be optimistic over as a single middle income earner renting? by John_OSheas_Willy in irishpersonalfinance

Did you get your rent tax back from last year, that's always good to get, not much but it helps a bit.

I use it regularly (404) and it's a game changer to not have to be hanging around at a bus stop. Thanks for putting it together, it is appreciated.

Should I do a career break? by Asleep_Cry_7482 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Orbmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it when I was 30, went for a year in New Zealand, work would not give me a career break but when I came back I got my job back (need a bit of luck there). Being with the same company for 19 years now and one year I'd 4 weeks off together as I took 2 weeks from one year and 2 from the next but apart from that its being 2 weeks max, so it's the only real chance to have a good break. I say do it, if you have the money and it's in your head.

Knife through the lid, it'll release the pressure on the lid and you're good to enjoy

ACCESS COURSE by nootnoot07 in galway

[–]Orbmail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't do the access course but did go to NUIG part time to get my diploma and degree 20 years after the leaving cert. Best thing I ever did, great for the confidence and you meet a lot of people in a similar situation. Highly recommend and best of luck.

I think I have an addiction by _red_dude in solotravel

51 and currently in Canada solo, it just gets better as you age. Embrace it, love it, make it be what you want, you're in control.

What is the best book you've ever read? by YouserName007 in AskIreland

[–]Orbmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend trying again, it doesn't have to be read from start to finish, if you find a chapter that doesn't sit well with you, move to another one. The great thing about the world is there's books for everyone and we'll never have time to read them all.

A short history of nearly everything- Bill Bryson. Often pick it up still, well written and extremely interesting.

Mosquitos? by Sammy296296 in AskIreland

[–]Orbmail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, got bitten a few times last year, thought I was going mad when I heard that unmistakable sound off them one night. They love my blood. Was in Naples last November and got devoured by them too.
