My fellas doing bloody long hours 3 evenings a week in Dunnes up to 1.30 in the morning
Seems to be ok so far(1st year student)
Needs the bobs but do you think I should try and limit that for next year?
According to him heās managing both but I dunno tbh
Ask him what years go towards his degree. First year Iād imagine all you need to do his pass as it wonāt go towards his overall award, so as long as heās passing everything, I wouldnāt be overly stressed. I would think in his final year - if at all possible - get him to try and pull back on his working hours a bit. Maybe put a few quid aside for then to give him a dig out. Young lads love making their own money, and being independent.

I was repacking stuff in a warehouse Iād rented space in one Saturday afternoon and had the 6 year old young fella with me at the time. No one there so was grand to let him bomb about.
He disappeared out back for a while and I let him off. Finished up what I needed to and came out to find him with a can of spray paint heād found. Sheepish looking, found heād sprayed āboobsā into the footpath!!!

Brought the young lad out to pitch & putt yesterday. Two of us on the 1st green and heard āforeā. Ball dropped just past the young lad. Looked to see who had hit it. Cunt on the first tee shouted down āah sorry, thought ye were goneā. I stood there with my hands out like Bruno Fernandez looking for a free. I gave the stupid cunt the benefit of the doubt. He fucked off to another side of the course after
When we were on the 12th or 13th he cut ahead of us on another hole. He landed it on the green. āThatās the lad that nearly hit me says Rascalā so I upped the pace to the tee box. He picked it up off the green and ran. He was safe enough where he was.

Whatās the going rate for a childminder? Is it per hour per child? The kids will be minded in the childminders house, no pickups or dropoffs required.
Yeah usually per hour per child. Iād say in and around ā¬50 per hour per child. Thatās what I pay for my 3 anyway.

Thatās great value in fairness. Iād imagine an oul sandwich or mug of soup would be extra.

Donāt forget our auld pal VAT
Handy lads with VAT numbers are frequently a blessing in itself.
The little lady is on repeat here in the back of the car parroting me - Come on fucking (Mrs Brady)

The father is 70 next week. What do
I get him? Heās at every game under the sun. Hates travel but likes the few UK pints.
I find boxes of steak/beef the go to item for the parents these days. Always well received

Heās very much a steak well done man. But Iāll give it a look. Iāve a few commonwealth tickets held back if he wants it but doubt he wants to watch hockey
My ould lad was 70 there a few weeks back. I bought him a pair of Eccos 
he was delighted. The last pair of good shoes brought him from 60 to 70 so heās hoping these will serve him as well

Stuey doesnt give up his drinking money for no man or child.
Hereās a few pointers not to bother with:
Expensive overcoats. I have rakes of decent coats for assorted events (canvassing, funerals, matches)
Inordinately expensive whiskey. A ā¬60 Redbreast is however welcome.
Holidays to far flung places. May only apply to me.
Possibilities:
A new set of tyres for the motor.
Lawnmower (dependent on grass content)
Golf clubs (again dependant).
