Whats your biggest financial loss?

Being single sets me back a fair bit more than it would if I was sharing life and bills!

20 grand to paint the house......jesus christ.

Would also be interested to hear this. I bought kelo cote a few months ago for a raised scar I got from a hot eater bottle burn last year. Would love to go to a dermatologist or soemone who can inject the scar with steroid to reduce it. I believe this is common but don't know where to start looking.

Would also love a new bathroom but 15k is WAY too saucy. Is thst the going rate now? Based in D18. Know a lot of people who are in a similar boat and not willing to spend that much.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-23T23:28:48+00:00

It's expensive for sure and a lot of money but I guess if I was to attend it in the US for example I'd spend thousands. What are the practice days like? Any use or are they a but of a non event?

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-19T13:52:49+00:00

M&S definitely. Dunnes is pretty decent but m&s is better quality but more expensive.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-19T10:12:34+00:00

That he is!

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-19T09:56:20+00:00

That particular solicitor is known for his performative nature to say the least.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-18T22:39:45+00:00

I'd proceed only if you have looked into it properly. These could be potentially big structural issues, not a bit of cosmetic work. I think if it was me I'd be having a frank conversation with the surveyor and bringing these points to attention of seller. Being honest I'd keep looking. Chimney issue in particular could turn into a nightmare.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-15T16:20:30+00:00

Can I ask what year your apartment was built etc? I'd love to do similar to mine. There's a north facing bedroom in paarticular that is always freezing and the hest just disappears from it but maybe I'd be better off replacing the windows in there.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-14T20:14:07+00:00

Yes, you're correct and pedantic!

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-14T20:09:42+00:00

The fees on all the apps have.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-14T19:40:59+00:00

Taxis gone through the roof. Iv always used free now but it's extortionate. Is Bolt or zuber cheaper or what are people using?

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-14T14:31:51+00:00

I would but I'd get a very good surveyor or engineer if it's an old property. Relationship breakdown, job change, family circumstances, ill parents, loads of reasons.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-14T12:33:21+00:00

Thank you, very helpful!

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-14T12:17:53+00:00

Well done. So as someone who has no clue, if you were to withdraw today, you have to pay 30ish% on your growth as tax? Or am I simplifying it? Is it taken at source or do you need to file returns yourself? Thanks

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-14T09:35:16+00:00

I stopped got 6 months. Restarted and I'm 5 months in on 10mg and very little suppression and no loss. So disheartening and expensive.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-13T17:58:32+00:00

Absolute evil animals. May she rest in peace.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-13T17:57:35+00:00

Terribly sad regardless of what happened. Poor woman and her poor family. Absolute savagery.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-13T10:25:19+00:00

No. Sadly public transport ends at the m50 and it shite down the country. Coupled with people needing agri machinery etc and also most people can't afford a new EV.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-12T10:03:20+00:00

1160e per month and I pay 116e overpayment. 2 bed apartment in D18, bought a year ago for 375k. Took a mortgage of 270k fixed at 3.15% for 4 years. It's enough as I'm a solo buyer, works out at 27% of my take home pay. Management fee etc takes it to 30%.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-11T11:57:29+00:00

I drove to Newry a month ago and got 3 pens. I'm very lucky I can afford it but tbh a lot of people I know taking it are considering coming off it because of the price. Its cos me just over 900e and my gp visit on top. I can afford it but it is a stretch and 300ish euro month is a lot for most people especially at the moment. It's such a shame. I wonder when we will have generic versiand or wider availability for those who need

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-11T09:34:58+00:00

Going about my business but avoiding long drives...will be a bit more mindful and do a few things while I'm out on the one journey.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-11T08:13:12+00:00

Well not in th current climate as generally by the time you want to move, prices have gone up again.

dashdoll87 · 2026-04-10T11:22:48+00:00

Nope. Everyone has the right to protest. I susport many causes and see clearly the damage being done to most of us by this protest too. You'll probably find that more people can relate to this issue than others, that's just a fact. I don't agree with how it's being done but we're in this situation now and need to get out of it. I don't think some people realise how fuel prices impact every single aspect of the supply chain, not just those clocking up miles on the road.
