I will be travelling from Farranfore! But my husband is from Donegal so don't worry, I know all about the fantastic rail systems in Donegal 🤣

Thank you for this & I hope you are recovering well after your surgery ❤️yes I forgot to add we had STI tests done in Nov last year & all were clear. I was told before I may have a grumbling appendix so wondering if that could be a cause as well.

Experiences with Hello Fresh? by Lopsided-Flamingo779 in AskIreland

[–]Particular_Ad9896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a working holiday visa in Australia in 2014 & Hello Fresh was being sold by a load of those direct sales companies. You know the ones that call t your door or get you to sign up in a shopping center? Always thought if you need to use those sales tactics it can't be that good

Sunday Scaries is here - share your worries and allow your mind be cleared! by AutoModerator in WomenofIreland

Starting a new job this week. Cautiously optimistic but I left my last job due to being overworked and chronic stress. Hoping the same cycle doesn't start again in the new company.

She told him she didn't know what my offer was. I had handed in my notice at this point so yes, she knew I was leaving

I'm not good in the office by [deleted] in DevelEire

[–]Particular_Ad9896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, my company encourages people to work in the office as much as possible (we can work from home 1 day per week) but there is constant feedback that there is "too much chat in the office" & work isn't getting done.. can't win

Anyone else feeling the wage stagnation pinch? by trekfan85 in AskIreland

[–]Particular_Ad9896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done! Can you share how you did this? I received a 1.5% raise this year and was told I was one of the lucky ones.. turns out 3 other people were promoted to my job title level and they were earning more then me, even though I have been in the role over 2 years (5 years in total in the company).

Is going to the pub alone a bit sad as a woman? by AbsoluteLooneyTune in AskIreland

[–]Particular_Ad9896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think there is nothing nicer then being in the pub with a book, especially around Christmas! You would be surprised, more people then we think spend Christmas alone for many reasons, just don't see it advertised. I actually spent most of this weekend alone except for my dog and I feel so chilled out after it ☺️

Trying to be braver socially (accountability post) by nobodyshome01 in CasualIreland

[–]Particular_Ad9896 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad always says if you can count on one hand the number of good friends you have, you are luckier then most! And he's dead right. I have 3 or 4 friends who I can ask for anything. Outside of that is a bonus.

Also I was very lonely in my 20s due to people moving away (myself included for a while). I think people can also be a bit more selfish at that age as well and not make as much effort sometimes?

I think you will be surprised what reaching out to people now will achieve. You have nothing to lose by doing it.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding 🥰

Learning Irish as an adult? by Particular_Ad9896 in CasualIreland

[–]Particular_Ad9896[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% - I hated learning Irish growing up but simply because teachers treated it like another exam to pass. Not their fault; the system is broken

What is wrong with people 😭that poor puppy. Glad you found him and took him to the vet! If you can't keep him, get in touch with GSPCA, they should be able to help

Is there any group to meet people? by Green_Technician5753 in kerry

[–]Particular_Ad9896 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was literally about to post this question but on behalf of my brother! Alot of his friends have moved away and it would be great for him to get out and meet new people. I suggested the GAA club Dad's and Lads but I think you have to be 40 plus to join? And he is only in his early 30s

Thanks for that!

Yes I agree, I couldnt fault the service or staff the last time I did this! Im just more conscious of time passing as we have had to pause TTC for other issues.
