    Moving to the sticks

    That would be nice, but I don't think it is something the County Council will do, rats etc are part of the scenery in the countryside, and they serve a purpose I guess. I'm glad that the council responded to your call, even if it wasn't an effective solution. One of my traps did catch a rat...

    Moving to the sticks

    Thank you all for the advice and helpful comments. There are two cats (belonging to my brother and his wife) and bordre collie (good ratters) outside already, and they come and sniff around up here regularly (outside). I am really uncomfortable with the idea of poison. I called Rentokill...

    Moving to the sticks

    I have contacted Rentokil. Yes, a cat would be good, and my the little girl would love one, but I'm super allergic and not keen on the idea of having to medicate myself in order to live in my home.

    Moving to the sticks

    Gee thanks! At least I'm not afraid of spiders! And my children can safely go outside without me... the fact that all three of us might feel more comfortable sleeping in a tree than in our warm beds tonight is irrelevant. I'm allergic to pet dander but seriously considering the exact type of...

    Moving to the sticks

    The kids and I moved back "home" a few months ago. We're living in the cabin my granny lived in - which hadn't been lived in for 20 years. The freedom for Squigglyboy (11 last week!) and squigglygirl (5) is great, but we also have stress. We've had water coming though ceilings (all sorted...

    Roger Whittaker appreciation thread

    Had a day out by myself for the first time in what feels like eternity today and Roger featured pretty strongly in my playlist. This one gut punched me but sooo good

    Your work situation

    And now I am unemployed... pretty good last day though... they got in cake and cookies and there were a lot of people in to say goodbye. Posh lunch with my team on the company too. Feels weird, but I haven't smiled as much on the bus home since we went back into the office, so good weird. I...

    Your work situation

    Sorry to hear that you got laid off again, but delighted to hear it means you are getting out of a really shitty situation Best of luck with it. If you are carrying out AP work you should be on an acting up allowance (as we call it). It is not reasonable to ask you to take on extra tasks...

    Moving company recommendations

    I'm looking for recommendations for a moving company (will need to have truck or lorry, not just a van) to move us from Dublin down the country next month. I contacted "Two men and a truck Ireland and they haven't gotten back to me. There is a lot to move, table and chairs, two sofas, beds...

    People Who Died

    I was sorry to see this news. I actually met her once, with her husband and a friend of theirs (I think her producer?). I was 16 and working in an architectural salvage yard and they drove up from Cork unannounced to see what we had in the way of granite piers and troughs for her garden...

    Minor complaints thread

    Yeah, something like that at midsummer. If we go the opposite direction and stick at +1 rather than GMT/Zulu time it would still be dark at some time after 9am. Most people I know find it difficult to wake up when it's dark outside, so that would mean lots of still half asleep people trying to...

    Minor complaints thread

    Thank you so much for all the mansplaining dudes. I was responding to a post from a particular poster who said he would be happy to see Daylight Savings time scrapped because it would be interesting to see daybreak at 9:30 or something like that - which isn't how that would work. Not...

    Minor complaints thread

    Daylight savings is the hour forward in March, not the hour back (that's just us returning to normal time). So during the summer it would be bright an hour earlier in the morning and dark an hour earlier in the evening if we scrap Daylight savings. Lots of people think it has something to do...

    Minor complaints thread

    I have to actually go into the office today, for the first time in nearly a month, and I won't have to for another month, and it is going to rain all day. Had to break out my Winter Parka. And to those people who want us to stick at Summer Time if we are no longer changing the clocks... do...
