Some GPs in less populous areas/outside Dublin seem to have been given supplies that is sufficient for them to offer to younger age groups already.

I think the last time I went to a doctor was a tetnus booster I got after falling out of a tree and doing myself a mischief in 92

Walked into the pharmacy in the hometown and asked for it, they only had two appointments left this week.
I'm due mine anyways as had second dose on 28th May, had been done through GP due to my asthma but a mate went up to check with them later yesterday and they said once he was over the 5 months to just come up and book in so they're doing it for whoever wants it seemingly.
Great to see the uptake flying along around here anyways.

RE: I'm happy because... - Tigger - 05-12-2021
anyone who has had the booster
my covid cert simply lists the date of my second dose and what it was
this suggests they knew we would need boosters and that the date would run out like a drivers lisence
are you able to updte your cert
you probably re able or is it auto re issued?

Currids, yeah that's the one beside SuperValu
RE: I'm happy because... - nothing - 08-12-2021
I'm getting my booster on Tuesday! And my current assignment got a 2 day extension! And it's curry chips at lunch tomorrow!

My bestie 'popped out' a baby boy last night
(their second, number 1 is my godson who will now has to wrap his 2.5 year old mind around how the quiet unobtrusive bump that was understood to be baby, turns into a separate wriggling crying pooping feeding machine he has to share Mommy with...

I'm happy because....
I got the booster vaccine in a pharmacy last Thursday, the same day that some walk-in vaccination centres could not cope when they were opened for the first time to the 50-59 cohort!
RE: I'm happy because... - Necro - 13-12-2021
After 5 sell out shows, 4 standing ovations and a very very long night at the after party, I'm finally back in the realms of reality, or as much as I can be
My bones ache, I've no voice and no idea how I'm going to answer a phone tomorrow but it was all worth it, the response to our show was phenomenal, perhaps because we are the only one in Sligo this year but perhaps people just needed a release, all the feedback I've heard has been positive... Which makes a change as often you hear the more negative comments first these days.
Not sure whether it will come to fruition but there was some mention of perhaps more dates being released in January, possibly in the same location or potentially in Sligo town itself...
Not really thinking about that now but just delighted with the reception and getting it over the line. Suddenly taking Tuesday off seems like it may have been the smart idea

I'm not sure, tbh. Perhaps partly because it was a matinee and there were a lot of kids but the audience just didn't budge when we went out for the bows!
RE: I'm happy because... - cee_jay - 16-12-2021
I got boosted today!
My doctor's surgery sent a link to book an appointment yesterday - all appointments were gone in less than 5 mins. Seems I was very lucky to have my phone in my hand at the time.
I was there anyway this morning for bloods, and they offered the flu vaccine at the same time as the booster too.
RE: I'm happy because... - nothing - 16-12-2021
My new t-shirts arrived this morning and I took the whole day off from college!
RE: I'm happy because... - E.N. - 16-12-2021
I had the afternoon off work today, and I needed it!
My daughter's montessori were singing songs outside the local hse day centre. It was terrible, they're only three after all, but I loved it
Then had a wander down to the site of the new house and they've made a start on the road, feels like they're getting to the last few things, hopefully
Then went for coffee and cake in Maynooth with my wife and the wee man. Looking forward to moving there now, and feeling more optimistic that it'll happen soon-ish
Going to start work again after the Liverpool match though, that'll ruin my good mood
RE: I'm happy because... - nothing - 16-12-2021
Maynooth is a lovely town to live in (as long as you're not next door to students lol}

Not like when I was at uni, 27 blokes in a 17 bedroom house. The rent was £75 a month
(I realise that makes me sound really old, but in fact it was insanely cheap even at the time. They condemned the building soon after though, it was falling apart around us)

I shared in digs, then shared with 6 others in a 3 bed with living room converted to bedroom, then lived in a 5 bed with 5 others with a converted garage. Think the last one was 320 each a month, which was pricey when we moved in to begin with but when I left a few years later was on the cheaper end.

I think it's what they call "character building"
As ridiculous as it sounds, I absolutely loved it. It was my first time away from home, out every night, got on really well with most of the lads I was sharing with, it was great
RE: I'm happy because... - ari101 - 17-12-2021
That's mad
but lads are generally hardier when it comes to lack of decent facilities.

Happy because I finished Santa duties today
I do need to change one thing tomorrow because it's the wrong size, and I've a bit of a busy day ahead, but the main job is done so I can wrap everything probably Monday morning.
Then I can sit back, chill and enjoy that IT'S CHRISTMASSSS
