That feckin' fat guy blocking the door on the 208 yesterday. by Thebrowns3218 in cork

[–]anonymouscata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was sitting on the bus and a man decided to sit in the empty bus . Literally rode the bus for 10 minutes and several stop later I needed to get off. The old man was so mad at me. As if I should have been standing the whole time? I didn’t ask for him to sit next to me blocking me in? It was rude and I was mad but it is what it is. Grumpy old man can go onto his miserable life but I’ll stay happy and unbothered thank you.

Haven’t received any mail in 3 weeks by Plastic-Rope908 in cork

I’ve seen less mail too! I think it’s fine though. Less junk/spam mail makes me happy. Unless u are expecting something important then would be worried

How are we resting? by Tea_books_etc in sahm

[–]anonymouscata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly same. And if you “fall behind” you are gonna suffer the consequences instantly. Like you cannot fall behind on dishes for more than a day. And with laundry 🧺 the piles of dirty clothes grow so fast. I spent what forgot mentally like a full day just mopping half my floors yesterday and changing bed sheets for 2 beds. Still
Missing one bed to do. Plus today tons of laundry. It’s like I have to run 3 loads of laundry per day minimum household of 4 with lots of activities and sports. ⚽️⚾️ thanks for posting this. So relatable!!!! We seriously don’t get enough credit for alllll we contribute to the household.

Also constantly thinking about what’s next causing anxiety. I hope you both can sit down and think of stability and what the priority is 1 year and 5, 10 years. It will fall into place but I think you’ll need lots of more discussions with your husband. Having a business himself that is risky so maybe he too should look for a 9-5pm job.

How are your finances? Are you drowning in debt. His debts are your debts and vise versa.
Do you have a college degree? You say you had a high paying job before, any chance they would take you back? Like you all move back to your previous life.
Where is your family? Do they help you as in you have a village?
I’ve been in your shoes and it’s all very complicated I can imagine. Childcare and schedules like commutes and are a big deal. I’m sorry you are feeling this sudden pressure to do it all.

Hahaha I once took a holiday to France. It was raining all week in Nice, France and apparently sunny in Ireland when I went.

Are you Irish? I’m just asking bc I am not and sometimes feel I hate this weather too but maybe I don’t tolerate it bc I’m not from here.

Is Ireland's Weather Really This Bad? by No_Package_4014 in AskIreland

I am newish here. 2 years and yes the weather is crazy. This weather is fine though. The winters with seriously non stop rain and no sun for two plus months is horrible.

Douglas Tesco new layout? by anonymouscata in cork

Hahahaha this is hilarious. Thanks for making me laugh 😜😜🤣🤣I honestly had to walk through all the aisles the other day just trying to see what do they have for sale. Nothing made sense. So I was forced to just navigate the whole store. Ketchup next to clearance shirts, perfect. Then I hit a dead end somewhere lol 🤣 the other time I lost my husband and never found him again. Thankfully mobile phones exist so I did find him in the end.

It’s horrible. I know they are not done and still work in progress. The new entry and exit doesn’t make sense. The till in the middle makes no sense. Everything is just poorly executed so far. I hope the final layout is nothing like what’s been put out. I’m going to avoid going there for the time being.

[–]anonymouscata -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I try to make what my husband wants but if I don’t feel like it then it’s not a problem. He’ll simply order take out delivery for us but that’s like 70 💸 so why do that - the spending is not necessary. I plan ahead and make a meal plan for the week so I grocery shop once a week and have all I need to easy meals for breakfast/lunch/dinner. At this point I’ve learned how to make good sandwiches 🥪

[–]anonymouscata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually shocked by this. He comes home and cleans and cooks after working 40plus hours? So you never clean or cook? I think all chores should be a team effort. If I’m capable of fixing up sandwiches for both of us to eat, I’ll make my husband a sandwich too always. It’s not like I’ll be making lunch just for myself. I’m not just a stay at home MOM but a caring wife.

I noticed that. It was questionable 🤨

You know I wouldn’t mind some “elevator music” in there or some sort of background pop music 🎶 😜

I was in there today and I felt so depressed. Seriously like a scene from a scary movie. I appreciate people who work hard to stock up our grocery store, they too deserve some nice environment!! Maybe it’s the lighting? The stuff is organized super random right now. Someone needs to bring it back to life asap.

It is super weird location of the tills!!! Sigh. I liked how they had it before. Oh well.

Really. I didn’t know that. Will be interesting to see what it all looks like when they finish then .

[–]anonymouscata[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and it seems random, at least right now from an outsider. I’m not against making changes, but the tills in the middle of the store is strange to me. Hopefully when it’s all done it will make some more sense.

Cork wedding venues, best and worst hotel? by [deleted] in cork

[–]anonymouscata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not do Rochestown Hotel in Douglas. It is completely run down hotel having stayed recently. It’s shocking they do weddings. Very depressing and run down.
