First world problems! They’ll be in season again soon. I ran out a few weeks ago just before my Tesco shop was due. I was passing a lidl and ran in. I bought they’re pink lady organic range. They were cheap and good.

When tiling my house I bought 12 spare for room that was tiled especially for my bathrooms and kitchen. I used the bathrooms ones already. It’s always worth it unless you change your decor every 20 years.

Hi Leo, thanks for your response. We stressed to the EA at the beginning that we could only sell property once we signed a contract for a new home. We asked him verbally and writing could he do this and he agreed. The only thing we should have done was to get our solicitor to browse over the...

We need to contextualise the above. Surely as a society we’ve moved on from the 1600! After all life is about change and growth and improving social conditions is part of that! Surely humanity has moved on since the 1600s and are committed to eradicating poverty? I know that governments and...

Hi Leo, yeah I’m very aware of Tommy’s struggles with the “black dog” as I’ve been to his gigs and watch him when on radio or tv as I like him. I didn’t pick up that vibe though when media discussed his “best years of my life were when I was on the dole” stuff. It seemed to be about him been...

TBS I understand your point but not everyone has the capacity to reflect on anything. I only heard the beginning of a discussion on a radio show about TT stuff on the dole which basically said that TT said “ the best years of my life were when I was on the dole”. That’s his reflection on dark...

Hi E Cork, I read your post and could have penned it myself! I got a letter in the post in March saying that there was going to be a price increase and in the last paragraph it said you can cancel contract if unhappy etc. My bills seemed to be similar to yours in price. I called them to...

Hi Joesod, I can see your point of view, however, in my own personal experience this is not how it’s been portrayed in public media circles. Your ‘probables’ have not been included so what we are left with is how during a very dark time in Tommy’s life when he was on the dole - well that they...

They’re kids in school where the word crush is used in relation to anyone who smiles more than once at anyone else!

Like everything else in life then It depends on your circumstances and what you enjoy/don’t enjoy in life. It depends on what you think and everyone thinks differently let’s face it’s. Here’s my take on it: I use Tesco online and with 3 kids can’t fault it. Time, time time is everything! I’ve...

I heard recently on a few radio shows and read in the newspaper that Tommy Tiernan was having the Craic about his youth and days on social welfare (sw). He referred to them as some of the best days of his life! This midly irritated me at first (as there is absolutely nothing positive about...

Hi, Any advice on how to run as far away as possible from my EA? His contract says I’m stuck with his co for 12 months and cannot get someone else involved. Was thinking of selling myself. Any sensible advice welcome. BB

I think I know what’s coming next on the news.... Yellow mellow Brown flush it down☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

love the song “just another day”

hi, Our EA came back to us with an offer from the council but are very slow to crack a deal as we feel he is working on their behalf. He’s pressuring us into getting out of house as soon as possible. We are querying the sale price offered by the council and the duration of time we have to...

Spot on Leo and I think that the council are in a good position to do so. The house is ring fenced for them (easier sale by all accounts as no other homeowners involved) but give us a chance to close off on something! We put a fresh bid on Thursday and agent was very keen saying that vendor...

We are open and very flexible people DCD which is something you need to be in the current market! We are responding to the messiness on the other side - vendors pulling out and bidding wars to name but a few! We are navigating the current market as best we can!

Yes Leo I agree, we have a list of criteria and when the suitable houses pop up we set them against our list and score each criteria out of 10. Leo I agree with with your perspectives. We are eager to move on ASAP but don’t want to be left high and dry if the vendor pulls out as it’s...

Have you experienced a bidding war and ever been outbid? I’ll give you an example of just one (of many) experiences we’ve had over the past few weeks). We were looking at the property price registered in relation to a particular area. Semi di houses were selling at 265. The last one sold...

Hi Derek, Thanks for your reply. We have left the house 3 times in total. Twice for viewings and another for valuation. Obviously the viewing included the council. To answer your question yes I think that the house would be of huge interest to those trying to get on the ladder as its: 1. In...
