What are you having?

Happy birthday Murph (at least belatedly). Hope your dad is continuing to improve.

All well here. Having a busy start to the week but I'ld much prefer it that way!

Never thought I would say this but I am glad hubby is gone back to work, I have spent the morning hoovering and washing the floors!! its never the same when they do it is it???

Ah belated birthday wishes Murph. Forgetting everyone's birthday since the demise of IWOL. Delighted to hear your Dad is improving a bit.

Ruthie, that does sound a bit like shingles - which caused by the same virus as chickenpox but the fact that she hasn't had chickenpox doesn't necessarily mean she hasn't got shingles. Poor love, shingles can be very painful - I've had it twice.


Eeyore, would you not buy a few toys or books for the childer?

Dreading to think what this budget holds!

Do you not know I NEVER buy anything for the kids!!!!! or thats what they tell me, their rooms tell a different story!

Ah bless! Mine are equally deprived

And of course they always say it when you are out!! and other people just look!!!!

Today would be my cousins birthday. Its nearly 3 years since she dropped dead of a massive heart attack. Had been doing pretty well but in the last 2 hours its just come on me all of a sudden and keep breaking down crying, my eyes are raw from the crying. Can't believe how much it still hurts 3 years on! can't even imagine what my cousin, aunt and uncle are feeling today.

found ye again - thanks molly!!!

I lost the link as I forgot iwol was going offline!!


Murph even though I'm talking to you on face book happy bday and so glad your dad doing well

I got properly sozzled on saturday night!! Yipee!! And a whole load of langers tried to crack onto me so wasn't doing too bad for a wan with a two month old!! So needed it!

Spanx are evil though to get off when drunk!!

Does the mini pill make you put on weight does anyone know? Cos I started it last week and have put on half a stone!! Yikes... or else the weighing scales is just evil!!

Eeyore while i was writing the post yours came in - so sorry hun

Oh Eeyore pet - I'm so sorry. Sending huge hugs your way.


Ruthie, Murph,
Can any of you remember where in Italy Millie lived? I'm sure it was near Rome - just a bit worried cos of the earthquake. I've sent her a mail asking if she is okay.

bye bye fianna fail..... the dirty robbing bastards Just wait until one of them calls to the door... if they dare show their faces for the local elections that is...

You said it Deer - I think I'll be dropping an e-mail to my local shower tomorrow.

Alice, I don't remember exactly where she lived, just that it was near Rome, wasn't she moving back here though?
Eeyore, big hugs for you hon, anniversaries and birthdays are always so hard to get through.
Deer...spanx...now there's something they never thought of taxing
Y'know, on paper we get a lot in every month, but with mortgage,car loan(nothing fancy just what we need for 7) 5 kids(doctors,dentists,uniforms, schoolbooks and all the incidental things like paying for junior cert etc that are always cropping up), we actually never have any extra for savings, holidays,meals out or any of that stuff. And I look in other peoples shopping trolleys in awe at some of the stuff they can afford.
And now we're going to have way less. Ah well.
Murph, happy belated birthday, we'll have to get the murphus dictionary out one of these nights once you're over the worry about your Dad.

Well fingers crossed this shower of w^nkers will be gone in June.. but think back to the medical card fiasco and afterwards in the polls it was the elderly who had the most support for the government - ironic or wha'?! That's why I wouldn't be putting money on this crowd going - sure a massive % of eligible voters don't bother their backsides to vote anyway, and they still have the nerve to give out about the leadership of the country. I hope there's a really big push to encourage voters to get out and vote.

They'll only be gone in June if there's a general election - the current plan is only for local (council) elections and the European Elections but it will at least afford us all a chance to tell them what we think of them. It is possible the greens could walk if they have a bad local election which would probably cause the government to fall and we could have a general election later in the year, possibly with Lisbon Mark II which I believe is scheduled for September / October somethime - they won't put on with the other stuff in june in case we use it to tell them where to go.

to hell with the recession..to hell with the budgie from hell

my daddy got out of intensive care today and is now well enough to be on a regular ward!! how good is that ......all the money in the world couldnt help him last week....so now i have a new philosophy......as long as we have enough to get by each day....then lifes ok....
money isnt everything..sure it helps..sure it buys us nice things....but feck it , i much prefer to be able to live life, have my dad in full health and we will think about cut backs at another time...

chin up girls...it will all work out!!

and yes ruthie...i think a murphus dictionary is well in order at this stage!!

and to any of ye how smoke..girls try to give them up...they are evil , the amount of suffering it has caused my dad in teh past week is beyond belief....so to any of ye..please do try...its for ur own good....


not sure bout milly alice..i know i had her address...will look for my address book in the morning its in the car!! she is still initaly as far as i know..she had another baby lately didnt she..

safe sex is better than no sex!!

Yayhay...................Im back!!!!!!!

Gawd...that was a long week with no lap top..........

How ye all doing???

Just going to go read back and stuff.....

Back in a bit!!!!!!!!!

Oh that is great Murph about your Dad. Delighted for you pet.

Just got a mail from Milly - she and Fab and babies (2) are all fine. They are no longer living in Italy. Relieved to hear they are ok.

Yes, I do believe we require a Murphus dictionary - and could we possibly get our hands on that book Ruthie was working on - remember, her childcare one?

I prayed for you all at the Mass of the Lords' Supper - I was ministering - and no Murph, I didn't have a crafty swally of the altar wine while the priest wasn't looking!

PML @ yer wan tryin' to get outta the Spanx while a little tipsy!
