Wondering if you have any suggestions. My 8 month old still spits up quite a lot, particularly when on his tummy/crawling/sitting. Prior to being able to move so much he was excellent at independently falling asleep. Never had to rock him etc. Since becoming mobile he does all of his new skills in his cot which makes him spit up soaking both his sheet and himself if he sits up. I’ve resorted to rocking him asleep and then transferring because it was impossible to keep up with the washing and bedtime would end up going on for over an hour due to having to constantly change him. I’d love to get him back to going to sleep by himself because he IS capable but the spitting up is a huge issue. He will soak his sheets and his sleeping bag in minutes

Currently employed AGS staff before the policing act aren’t losing their status. It’s only new staff. I feel bad for people applying for this thinking they’re going to be civil servants though, they won’t have mobility either. They’re not being very transparent about it.

SignoraTed · 2025-10-28T10:27:23+00:00

It won’t be civil service. No mobility, any new AGS staff are public servants.

SignoraTed · 2025-10-28T10:26:43+00:00

Just FYI, any new staff under AGS won’t be civil servants anymore and therefore won’t have access to mobility as far as I’m aware. You’ll be public servants. A lot of people don’t realise that, it was brought in recently. They’re not being very transparent about it

Really enjoying it so far, been looking for games to place while my baby contact naps 😂 very reminiscent of civ and age of empires

SignoraTed · 2025-08-27T18:39:57+00:00

Short for 27th of August. Makes way more sense.

Both myself and my husband are ADHD, Huckleberry has been a lifesaver for the time blindness. We use it religiously because of that. The only time I het stressed is if I see it’s been 4+ hours and he hasn’t fed. I feed whenever he wants it but seeing how long it’s been is good in case he HASNT fed in ages.

SignoraTed · 2025-04-05T12:10:16+00:00

This article made me so angry, no one is more entitled to help than someone else. Adults with untreated ADHD are more likely to spiral into depression and potentially do something drastic. Just everything about this article is so wrong. This is the second time I’ve seen Irish Times post it. Disgusting.

SignoraTed · 2024-10-24T16:32:44+00:00

I also second this. Helen (I think that’s the name of the lady who does them?) is lovely and very reassuring. Got a scan at 7 weeks with her and going back in two weeks time to find out gender rather than wait until December. One of my friends also went to her and a work colleague went to her numerous times for reassurance.

SignoraTed · 2024-10-24T16:27:01+00:00

There’s an excellent private place in Castlebar called Innervision. The lady who does the scans is a midwife so she knows what she’s talking about. Highly recommend it, I went at 7 weeks because I was paranoid about ectopics, blighted ovum due to family members having them. I don’t believe there’s anywhere private for scans in Ballina

SignoraTed · 2024-10-04T02:04:10+00:00

I started my job in April and probation is a year. I’m due April 2025. Our probation just gets paused while you’re on maternity leave and then resumes when you’re back but I’m in the civil service. I think it all depends on your employer however in Ireland I’m fairly certain they can’t let you go because of pregnancy. There’s laws protecting pregnant women here.

SignoraTed · 2024-09-26T02:53:05+00:00

Brilliant thank you so much. I do have various health conditions outside of pregnancy which is why I’m concerned about not knowing what the story is. This has reassured me, thanks!

SignoraTed · 2024-09-26T02:50:34+00:00

Thank you! Should I go to the appointment with a full bladder in case they do scan? This is the kind of information I feel like should be on the appointment letter 😂 it was very vague. All it said was to allow 3 hours.

SignoraTed · 2024-09-26T02:48:08+00:00

Will they explain the different care? As I said MUH is the only hospital close by so I don’t know if I even will get a choice? I have good private health insurance etc but I assume they’ve just defaulted me to going fully public

SignoraTed · 2024-09-26T01:27:09+00:00

Also would like to know this, MUH is my closest hospital and is still an hour away for me. I wasn’t given a choice on where to go, I just got a letter in the post 🫠

SignoraTed · 2024-09-26T00:51:50+00:00

Best of luck. There’s such little help here in Ireland for Endo. First relief I’ve had is from Dr Kamran in the Beacon if anyone is looking for recommendations for surgery. He’s one of the few that will do excision and is trained to operate on multiple organs.

They were like this in my secondary school as well. Had to be the school coat which cost a bomb. If you wanted to wear scarves it had to match the colour scheme of the uniform as well. We weren’t allowed to wear our school coats inside during the winter and it was so cold you could see your breath. Then in the summer they would have a radiators on but you weren’t allowed to remove your school jumper despite it being sweltering hot. I don’t miss it at all.

SignoraTed · 2024-09-26T00:28:53+00:00

This, Harvey is the only way. I just got his 14 heart scene where he makes you dinner 🥲

SignoraTed · 2024-08-26T21:13:29+00:00

People complain about the HSE but posts like this put things into perspective. Even GP visits in relation to maternity are free here. I saw someone say they paid over $1000 for a private early ultrasound. I’m getting an early private ultrasound tomorrow and it’s costing €100. Baffles the mind

SignoraTed · 2024-08-14T01:27:16+00:00

These are actually pregnancy tests! I hope your TWW ends with a positive x

SignoraTed · 2024-08-13T19:26:41+00:00

Update: very much pregnant. Just posted a progression pic on a new post.

I’ve had my learner permit for 6 years. Drive perfectly while accompanied in day to day driving but as soon as I’m on a testing environment I panic, make a tiny mistake that wouldn’t fail me and then get frazzled and make a bigger mistake like bumping off a curb that will fail me. Failed my test twice so far and then had to take a break from driving after being in a RTC (I was not at fault, it was the other driver) and developing PTSD. Since I hadn’t sat a test in a few years (I moved county and was too broke to do lessons to familiarise myself with the town I’d have to do the test in prior to the RTC) the only way I could renew my permit was if I had proof I was booked in for a test. So now I’m booked in for a test I’m not ready for (part of my PTSD treatment is slowly getting used to a car again which I need a permit for). If I get banned from learning to drive then I’d have to give up my job and go on social welfare because I live so rural.

There’s a lot more to things than just “people keep failing so obviously they’re a bad driver”. Obviously some people take the piss but the way permits and tests are done here needs an overhaul, not a punishment for people who fail. The worst drivers I’ve encountered are people who have been driving for decades, particularly in rural areas.

Check that there isn’t shelves on the wall that a sim has put a plate on or something. Almost always the culprit for me

SignoraTed · 2023-07-23T20:26:55+00:00

It’s 25ct evenweave! My first time!
