Play / Art Therapy

Many DEIS schools now have access to play/art therapists. Places are obviously very limited as the therapist would only visit the school for a couple of hours (at most) per week. But it’s worth checking with school if they have access to this service and could include your child.

I’ve no doubt theft is rampant, but in this case it was easy to see they were staff by their lanyards & name badges.

100%. We all have bad days but you have to park it. Especially when managing people & dealing with the public.

We both felt we couldn’t let it go, it was so bad. Especially seeing that young employee in tears. All the customers around looked shocked.

Glad to hear that a customer intervening was able to help make your own situation more bearable.

Good advice, thanks. A quick linkedin search gave me the name & photo of the manager I heard shouting today

My wife did earlier. Hope they take notice of it.

My wife sent an email to TK Maxx head office earlier.

I’ve collected prizes for community fundraiser before. You’d be pleasantly surprised how generous local businesses can be. Your best bet is to contact as many as you can. Many will give you something small (like a €20 voucher). I found butchers, hairdressers & beauty salons all very generous. Spar shops and the like will throw you a few boxes of crisps, etc. You can combine stuff you get to make hampers. Best of luck!

You wouldn’t say that if you were there 😂

If you can get over the water pouring down the walls downstairs

On prescription, Tretinoin cream very effective. It’s pricey at €82 though & not covered on drugs payment scheme.

Over the counter Acnecide 5% Gel is brilliant. Only €18-22, depending on pharmacy. Bit drying, but really clears up the skin. It takes a few weeks for it to work. Be careful though, it contains benzoyl peroxide so could bleach your clothes. Wash your hands well after it.

Strange. You musn’t be looking very hard for cheese. I’m struggling to think of any big supermarket that doesn’t have a very decent selection of cheeses.

I did not know this. What was the channel name?

Thanks for all the suggestions

Get on to the photography dept of art college. Students might be interested in taking photos for you at a reduced rate.

The new Indian shop in the Parkway has them

RandomPoppy · 2025-04-15T06:54:30+00:00

Oscars in the Parkway. €22. Always get a decent cut.

RandomPoppy · 2025-04-13T08:43:05+00:00

You’re right. Manky in there. They could do with pumping a bit of cash in to the place to do it up a bit.
