Glad it was manageable. Food intolerances can be really painful and unpleasant.

Oh dear, poor you. I hope you feel better soon.

And what about the kids with long covid? What does the HSE recommend for them? They don't have jobs, true, but what recommendations are there to make education accessible to them?

Take care. Hope you feel better soon.

Oh wow, those are fabulous!

I agree with you on this.

Definitions of 'enough' might vary widely though.

I'm not sure of the difference between the two to be honest. However, politicians set the minimum wage, so if that's good enough for the rest of us, it should be good enough for them too.

Or linking it to the minimum wage?

That would be a really interesting study to do.

Money talks.

And children can't vote.

We have always treated children badly in this country. Shamefully, we still do.

Our post man definitely does a delivery every day.

What I can't understand is why it takes so much longer for post to be processed if there are way fewer letters.

To get a card from Dun Laoghaire to Clonskeagh can take well over a week!

Good luck. I hope you get some help.

Hmm, they are different to the ones we get here. I still think it's a Tesco issue if their machine is acknowledging an activation failure. That's so frustrating. I'm guessing you've already looked up the steam website and got nowhere...

We have bought Steam cards from Tesco. As far as I know we never had to activate it at the cash register. We just had to scan the barcode to pay for it. However, if someone had scratched and redeemed the code without paying for the card first, that would surely be an issue for Tesco as it's theft?

That's great. What a relief for you both.

Happy Christmas to you and your family. I hope you are all having a lovely day.

Absolutely! So stressful!!

I hope you didn't have to wait too long. Making sure we have all necessary prescriptions to see us over Christmas is a pre-christmas tradition at this stage!!

Oh no, poor you! I hope your symptoms will settle down soon.

PS Congratulations to your saw!

I can't say I blame her. It does look delicious. Chocolate and raspberries are a great combination!

Will non-academics (like me) be able to read your paper about Georgette Heyer? It sounds really interesting.

Good luck with your book proposals.
