  1. After reaching April 22nd with only 5 books read this month, I went into a reading frenzy and am up to 9 books read 6 days later. Aiming to finish another 3 in the next 4 days. If only I was this motivated in my professional life! :D

      It would have been, if it had happened :P

  2. My God I actually just purchased a Kindle book which tells me the correct number of total pages, as well as the page I'm on, instead of just my 'location'. Splendid!

  3. sitting with a nice smelling cooling mud pac on your face is one of the best ways to pamper yourself! ^_^

      Lol! I just wouldn't answer it! :P

  4. My Goodreads perpetually tells me I am one book ahead of schedule, no matter how fast I read. It's not very motivating.

      I'd prefer that to my 'you are currently 5 books behind schedule' :D

      I should have put twelve, but I was too gullible.

      LOL @ Hayley, that's a fair point! I'm three books ahead now, so happy with that and gonna take on a longer book I think :)

  5. Notice you haven't been around the forum for a few weeks so just popping in to say howdy and hope all is good with you. Happy new year :D

  6. I just realised it's now over a year since I came back to the forum posting full-time as opposed to popping in once every six months - and 9 months since I got re-modded. Still here! :) So glad I got out of my rut, I'd missed this place.

  7. Had the absolute worst night's sleep last night. Kept waking up and coughing. Gonna be a zombie at work.

      Athena

      Awww :( I hope you feel a bit better by now.

  8. Work up courage to ask guy out for Friday night. Wake up Friday morning with raging cold.

  9. Just found out I'm getting paid for five weeks this month wooo extra €300!

      5 week months are great

       

  10. I'm a bit behind on replying in people's threads and updating my own - I'll catch up this weekend!

      Know the feeling! I'm behind on everything!!

      We shall expect something fantastic because of the wait! haha just kidding

      *faints from the pressure*

  11. Qwertee has two Lion King shirts which will go off sale just hours before I get paid. Sickening! XD

  12. First day working from home was not the least productive day's work I've ever done, so I'm counting it as a success :P

      It's certainly different! I'm finding it difficult to switch off in the evenings!

      You do have to train yourself to seperate the work from everything else.

    4. Nollaig

      Nollaig

      I'm thinking of maybe taking a walk around the block in the evening when I'm done, make myself think I've just come home! :P

  13. I'm sad that I only started Wayward Pines like an hour ago, because if I had started on Friday I could have binged all weekend on the books and then the show. Oh well.

      LOL That's ok. It'll still be there.....

      Hehe I know, I just have a stressful week this week and I get wound up mentally by knowing I have to get through stressful things before I can do the things I want. I know it sounds silly but I'm wired silly :P

    3. woolf woolf

      woolf woolf

      It doesn't sound silly.

  14. I don't plan on ever getting married but if I somehow wind up doing it I'm gonna sing Thinking Out Loud so Ed Sheeran turns up (as he does) and sings it for me. Yep.

    1. bobblybear

      bobblybear

      Love that song!

    2. Janet

      Janet

      Love that Ed Sheeran! :D

    3. Nollaig

      Nollaig

      I'd probably marry Ed Sheeran. He's the sweetest guy on the planet.

  15. Can't sleep. Work is gonna be fun on virtually no sleep.

    1. Athena

      Athena

      Awww, I hope it won't be too bad :(.

  16. Discovered last night that cheap flights (50-80 euro) from Dublin to Oslo in Norway are surprisingly common all year round. Hmmmmmmmmm.

      Just so long as you know.. we weren't aware until we booked. :(

    3. woolf woolf

      woolf woolf

      You won't have to pay only the travel, and it seems Norway is very expensive.

    4. Nollaig

      Nollaig

      Ah, yeah. I'm very careful to check all the fine print of every stage, I'm quite obsessive compulsive like that, and cheap airlines like Ryanair are designed to capitalize on anyone who isn't OCD about it.

       

      Sousa - I know, but if I was only going for two nights and stayed in a hostel, it would be pretty cheap.

       

      As it is, I've booked a 4-night trip to Iceland instead through Groupon, hopefully it'll be okay!

  17. Oy, weird day and a headache.

      I have a headache too. Hope yours goes soon xxx

    3. Athena

      I hope you feel better soon :(. I've been having a headache since Wednesday, but gladly it's not too bad today (it's still there but I can do things at least).

    4. Nollaig

      These comments need a 'like' button, Diane that made me smile! :) Sorry that you all also apparently have headaches, that's horrible. Must be the weather I think.

  18. Today I ate a significant portion of a fresh cream cake. The precise portion size was 1. 1 cake. It was not among my better life choices. :D

      at least you stopped at one!

    3. Nollaig

      The main thing is, it got the craving for cake out of my system :D

      Ditto, Nolaig - mine was a black forest gateau, and I loved every sweet calorie of it!

  19. I have to get up in 5.5 hours to go to London. I'm not even remotely tired. Hm.

    1. Brian.

      Brian.

      That always happens to me when I have to go anywhere different, especially on holiday.

    2. vodkafan

      vodkafan

      Happens to me too before a big day. Don't worry you will be exhausted by mid afternoon lol

  20. In happier news... I officially bought my ticket to see Andrew McMahon in London! ...Now just to sort accomm and flights >_>

      Have a great time x

       

  21. Just lost four hours of art work to file corruption. My weekend is juuuuuust swell.

  22. Hey you! Just wanted to say sorry I didn't end up taking part in your reading circle - I did start reading the book but it's quite prose-heavy, pretty writing that requires full attention, whereas I'm really in skim-mode at the moment and only reading light stuff.

  23. Ben, I've moved your thread to the What's Up thread. I know it's probably a personal post for you, but for the sake of equality among members we don't allow people to start new threads for individual events. If you have a Member's thread you'd prefer me to move it to rather than it being in What's Up, that's no problem, just let me know. Thanks :)

    1. Ben

      Ben

      Ah okay that's fair enough, um.. might as well just leave it where it is. :) Thanks! x

  24. I actually have THE dumbest hamster on the face of this earth. Seriously.

    1. Hayley

      Hayley

      dumb but cute? :)

    2. Nollaig

      Nollaig

      She's frustrating! I spent ages rearranging her cage to fit her ball in her because her wheel was too small. And I swear to god, she spent all afternoon climbing under the ball, around it, on top of it and sliding off, along the cage around the top of it, but not actually going INSIDE it.

    3. Hayley

      Hayley

      aww! have you already tried putting food in it?
