That's not my name!

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 16 Dec 17

I have had a variety of jobs over the years and while my jobs and job titles may have changed, one thing has remained constant – my name. That sounds as though it should be obvious but I have been called so many names over the...

Some Facebook stupidity

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 16 Dec 17

Some people's stupidity on Facebook amuses me. I am a member of a Facebook group called Northern Ireland Area Travel watch and some of the posts have me laughing out loud. One post that sticks out in my mind was the person who...

All set for Christmas

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 16 Dec 17

I have only two more days of work this year so the year is almost at the end, and it's just over a week to Christmas itself as well. As the type of person who likes to be organised for Christmas, I have everything sorted, just...

Least favourite food?

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 3 Dec 16

I am by my own admissions, a very fussy eater and onions seems to be one of those things that really seems to divide people. Personally, I hate the taste of onions and try to avoid them where possible. They just taste too strong...

Facebook competitions - do people not read?

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 3 Dec 16

I have a few people who I am friends with on Facebook and I am convinced that they can't read when it comes to Facebook competitions. They get so excited at the idea of liking and sharing something that they don't seem to think...

Been a while!

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 27 Nov 16

I haven't been on this site in quite a while and I'm not entirely sure why real life just took over and I kind of forgot about MyLot. Hopefully with the Christmas holidays coming up and my extended leave from work over this time,...

FitBits

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 9 May 16

I have decided that I needed to get fitter and while do go to the gym occasionally, I could do more. I decided to buy a FitBit to see if that would help motivate me but while it's helpful to see how many steps I'm walking, it...

EliteWriters

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 23 Apr 16

While Bubblews was still going, I heard about the site Elie Writers and dipped my toes into this site but never found it that good. Then I heard the stories of how someone ran off with all the cash and no one would be getting...

Some good news for a change!

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 17 Apr 16

I hadn't realised it was a week since I was last on MyLot and I have a lot to catch up on. This was partly due to real life taking over as it's been a busy week for me. I had an interview for a permanent job where I work as I am...

Unusual weather

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 10 Apr 16

Where I live (aproximately 40 miles from Belfast), yesterday was a cold but bright and sunny day. While it wasn't warm enough to be out and about sunbathing, it was a nice day and was nice to get a change from the normal...

Using work internet for personal use

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 27 Mar 16

I was reading something earlier that reminded me of something that I saw online a few years ago. While most people are aware that internet usage at work should be limited, there was one person who was so addicted to the forum...

Easter Breakfast

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 27 Mar 16

Easter is one of those days when you can get away with an alternative breakfast and of course chocolate is the obvious choice. This wee bunny was my breakfast choice - he was quite tasty although I did share him with my dad. I...

Easter

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 26 Mar 16

I haven't been on here much recently - a lot has went on in life and stuff I don't really want to go into. I decided to try to get back into MyLot this morning though and maybe I'll stay around longer this time! It's Easter and...

Goals/Resolutions

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 31 Jan 16

I used to do a 'goals' post on Bubblews where I listed my goals for that month and then at the end of the month, how well (or sometimes not) that I had managed. I didn't really make any New Year's resolutions but I did want to...

Dangerous 'advice'

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 27 Dec 15

Following on from a thread about medical advice, I was wondering if anyone has any examples of dangerous advice offered by others online? One example that I have is when a 'friend' was trying to sell Herbalife to me. She had an...

January Sales

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 26 Dec 15

It is that time of year again where people go mad for cheap, last season goods. Photos of people fighting over cheap bags will have surfaced again and I'm sitting at home thinking about why do people bother? I will be going...

Does Christmas mean less if you don't have children?

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 25 Dec 15

I have seen a few posts on Facebook today that seem to be implying that those of us who have children don't seem to find this time of year as wonderful as those that do have children. While I can understand that a lot of the joy...

Looking forward to Christmas this year

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 3 Dec 15

Anyone who may have known me on other sites will know the story. Lats year, I was in the job from hell and trying desperately do to the sort of work that I couldn't cope with (and not sure anyone could). I knew I probably would...

Back to MyLot

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 30 Nov 15

I had a weekend away in Dublin and just back late last night, and before that, I wasn't online much as I'm catching up. I was quite happy to see that my bank continues to grow while I was away though and that people are still...

Do you like peanut butter?

Jacqui @euphie (573) • Ballymena, Northern Ireland 21 Nov 15

I like peanut butter flavoured things but when it comes to actual peanut butter, I don't like it. I don't like the texture or the flavour of peanut butter, although Reece's candies are a favourite of mine, particularly Reece's...
