The ultimate incentive proposed! Buying a house, a wedding, and staying debt free.

Oh don't play the Irish card!

And I'm sorry but I think buying someone an X-Box when they don't have a TV is actually considered mean Poolie!

Poolie

It certainly would be Dinah!

Ooh, well hopefully this means she's taking you seriously at least! Good luck with the aunts, and anglophile one will certainly be an ally!

It begins in B, ends in r and has an ugg in the middle. And is to my mind in no way offensive

Morning all. As another Irish person have to agree and say that that word isn't seen a curse in Ireland. It's not a word I use though so I haven't gotten into trouble.

One saying I really struggled with when I first moved over was 'I was really thick with him/her', No-one knew it meant angry and everyone thought I was calling the other person stupid.

A suggestion re: your Mum Nim. It might be a nice idea to ring her tonight and say that you just want her to make an effort with Dinah. At leas you you will have tried before you go over there for the weekend.

I love that phrase, but its one I stopped using. Must give it a revival.

She thinks she has already is the problem. Hence the issue.

Last time was her being nice, anyone as scared as me about what would happen if she turned the nice off?!

The B word isn't a swear is it?! I use it all the time, I thought it was a word you used instead of a swear ... Ooo, maybe this means I'm part Irish?! I am ginger after all .. and I can to the accent. Comes out abit Scottish at times but that's by the by.

Gosh, sounds like you're in for a fun weekend with your Ma NIM! I'll just keep with hoping she's accepted it now for yours and Dinahs sanity.

Ooo, enjoy your Spa day tomorrow Dinah! If I were you I'd start taking what Nims Mum says as a joke, like if she comments on what you're wearing just agree. Completely throws people like that!
