Note to parents: if you buy a small electrical item like a tablet from Power City and get it delivered, they deliver it just in its own box, no packaging so you can see straight away what it is. It is the big present for our lad this year who is home sick from school who almost saw it. So beware!

Discussion in FB group I'm in now (prompted by me) about botox/filler. A good lot of people on them. How about you? Feeling extremely haggard as I barrel towards 47 and thinking a sliver of botox wouldn't be the worst thing? I don't want to look 20, wouldn't mind looking 40!

One thing about me is I WILL spend ages watching vids of Nigella and Jamie and Delia and Gordon cooking cranberry sauce and stuffing and maple glazed parsnips from scratch for the Christmas dinner and then I WILL go to Tesco and just buy it all ready made. *turns slowly to camera* Fuck them chefs.

Flu season is well underway. Let’s agree that sick children should not be sent to school to spread it in the classroom
Flu is spreading earlier than last year, with children heavily impacted.
We call on the Minister for Education and the HSE to update public health advice to schools to account for airborne transmission of flu.
Press release is available here: www.cleanairadvocacyireland.org/clean-air-bl...

C'mere to me. Are we getting double child benefit this month (December)? Just the monthly child benefit we all get, is that double this month? Or was that not in the Budget this year. I can't remember, I know we got it last year or the year before?

Every word of this. I fill a trolley for the VdeP every Christmas and I include my son in the process and I am KILLED every year impressing upon him that we shouldn't have to do this, that most ppl who use that service work hard, but wages are low and rent is high and the State should do more.
🧵 As we look towards the #LateLateToyShow next week, it's time to remember that everyone - including the State - will expect us all to donate generously to the very worthy causes supported financially by the Toy Show Appeal. Let's think about this.

Middle aged friends, what are you buying your husbands/partners for Christmas? If you are a middle aged man, please tell me what you would like if you were to receive a present from your equally middle aged wife. Thank you! (No alcohol or coffee based presents, neither are drunk here!)

Chronic illness means I'm often cold especially my hands and feet and I've decided now I cannot do the winter this year. I just can't do it. I don't need blazing sunshine but I need a nice steady 16-20 degrees. This cold, wet, winter stuff is nonsense and I just cannot do it anymore. NONSENSE!

I haven't been in Arnotts in years, but has anyone checked how many giant wooden nutcrackers there are outside the FAO Schwarz department and if any of them are wearing glasses?
Gardaí have been unable to locate Enoch Burke after twice calling to his house yesterday to imprison him for contempt of court.
A High Court judge ordered the former teacher's return to prison on Tuesday.

That's a cold one now. Am huddled by the radiator eating a pot noidle, much as I envision Enoch is, in some basement somewhere. #speirgorm

Using bits out of the freezer and fridge for dinner. Frozen chicken breast, roasted veg and a slightly wilted rocket salad with balsamic vinegar dressing. A dollop of cranberry sauce from the bottom of a jar too. It'll be on all the Michelin restaurant menus next week!

Got my flu jab yesterday and my son got it earlier in the week. Both were free - the kiddy one is a nasal spray and free for all kids 2-17 - and I qualified for a free adult one due to chronic illness. A quick and easy way to protect yourself and others. Please consider getting it, if you can.

This is genuinely me on the phone to utility companies. M for motherfucker. M. For. Motherfucker. God love them, they deserve triple pay for putting up with that.
Yesterday a man was spelling something using phonetic alphabet over the phone to me. He started to struggle at D:
”eh…Dick”
and when he came to a B
“[long silence]…I can only think of Balls because I said Dick”

So who's at this shindig at Dublin Castle tonight then? Anyone really famous like? Would they invite celebrities to that or just politicians? Miggeldy's one was so long ago I've forgotten. Surely we can rustle up a few A listers? #aras25 #speirgorm

That Army No 1 Band put the heart crossways in me when President Connolly was being signed in, I'll tell you that for nothing! Was an almighty trumpet out of the blue really necessary? #speirgorm

Lads I can't watch the coverage of Michael D leaving, I just can't! I've half seen snippets on social media of him and his dogs and his last speech etc and I just turn it off, I can't, my heart is broken!! I just love him so much #speirgorm

I washed and blow dried my hair today, shaved my legs, put make up on, a proper face of it, dug out my colourdey tights and cute denim dress, just on a whim just knocking about my house. And lads I'm wrecked! It took HOURS! THEN I put on Selling Sunset and they are like models, HOW do they do it?!

If you're a campaigning organisation, you'd be lucky to have Linda on board with you. Cliche, but truly she's a powerhouse. If you've a job going, give her a shout. (Dreadful news that SWAI has to close due to lack of funding, it's such a vital resource.)
Heartbroken to share this news but, due to lack of funding, my position in SWAI has finished.
I'm absolutely slaying in this hilarious collage I made though.

Wait wait wait!! I just heard it pronounced 'An-tee-fah' to rhyme with Queen Latifah, instead of Anti-fa to rhyme with, well, anti fascist? Oh the elders in ANTIFA who definitely exist as an organised hierarchical group will have to put out a memo from their HQ that is definitely a real building.

Just did this survey it took ten seconds and is really important for fairness and inclusivity in schools. Our school is amazing, I do not want to send him elsewhere but I WOULD prefer if it was not Catholic. I don't want to change the school itself, just take religion out and leave it to parents.
The survey is open, #speirgorm do your thing! More than 83% of primary schools are of Catholic patronage, which is definitely not the case for the Ireland of today www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

You've watched All's Fair, Kim K's new legal 'drama' featuring inexplicably Glenn Close? Oh lads. It's so bad. And I love a cheesy glitzy courtroom Selling Sunset type procedural. But this. I cannot. I just ... no. It's bad and absolutely not 'so bad it's good'. Just plain bad.
