I am having a very menopausal day and I am not in the mood ok? I am dropping things, spilling things, I burnt the hand off myself making the dinner, I almost wrecked my new gas hob, I sliced my finger with a knife, the list goes fucking on. So not today ok? Don't try me today. Not. In. The. Mood.

I've tried to live a good life Alan? I'm nice to children and dogs, I recycle, I give to charity ... what more can I do?!

Being 41-Years Old Update: Sat cross-legged on the floor for too long at the weekend while my two year old niece “did my hair” and now one of my knees doesn’t work

Two summers ago I sat down on a picnic bench - just sat down - and borked my knee so much so that I had to wear a brace from the chemist and couldn't walk for three days. Am 47, not long for this world.

You know you had a doozie of a tummy bug when you lose 7lb in 48 hours. That was ... something else! Currently guzzling all the fluids, I have three drinks on the go. Am a husk!

Will be calling tomorrow, but they have this whole fancy portal where I have an account like, they want you to use that. But everything seems booked out. I hate using the phone! But will call tomorrow.

Yeah I'll be calling tomorrow but we're supposed to use this online system, it's a whole portal. So frustrating. Anytime I try everything is just booked.

Like, he's grand and doing well but I do like to check in and get new updated scripts and keep an eye on his growth and just have a listen to the chest every year/18 months or so (since he was a toddler) you know? But every time I try every single slot is gone, months in advance. What to do?

Trying to book a routine annual-ish asthma check up for my young lad in the GP and despite there being like six doctors in the practice, there seems to be no availability for like the next nine weeks? Nothing at all, all slots greyed out and booked up. Nine weeks?!

Do you think - and this is just a suggestion now - that the absolute thundering racist cunts on social media platforms could give it a fucking rest, for one day like? Do you think? That awful bus crash in town and the first comment on nearly every platform is some form of blaming migrants.

Yeah, he absolutely was trying to take away your beloved Take That. BURN HIM!

We got a King sized bed - barely fits in the feckin' room - for exactly this reason and I swear he still turns over on to me. Like, dude, the WHOLE LEFT SIDE OF THE BED IS EMPTY! GO BACK THERE!!!! And then he says 'did you sleep ok?' No, no I didn't - your lower lip rested on my tit all night!!

I would take a picture of, and show you, the size of the mouth ulcer inside my cheek but it'd put you off your dinner for a full calendar month. It's easily half the area of my mouth. It's all glamour over here of a BH Monday, I tell you. Though, I bought a fab yellow jumper today so that's nice.

Shrinking is back!! Yay! It's so good. And I just love Harrison Ford in it.

I used to work in local newspapers and wrote news articles about local Cllrs giving out about scramblers in parks and in estates, warning how dangerous they are. That was 27 years ago. Nothing changes. Enforcement doesn't seem to work. That poor girl and her poor family left behind. #speirgorm

The shite thing about chronic illness is often not the illness itself, it's sometimes the tiredness that comes along with it. I'm so wiped at the minute by 5pm I'm just done, everything goes on the long finger, there's energy for nothing else. The spoons have been used up! #Crohns #spoons

True true. You shouldn't give it all away upfront! Leave a little for the second act!

Surely someone had a sneaky burner. Or even like Brooklyn himself!! He has it surely. I'm DESPERATE to see it!

I saw that last night and actually gasped out loud! Noooo. The feckin' eejit, he's ruined it for us all now. He should be banned from all dating apps and shunned by the women of the ton.

So where are we with the Beckham wedding video? You've had almost 24 hours and I'm getting tired of waiting. Someone has it, it's a matter of public interest at this stage. Make no mistake, I WILL riot if I have to.

I'm at the earth's core of the rabbit hole! It almost feels like the Toy Show or something, all of us together having the craic!

It's all I can think about. I won't rest, not a single wink, til I see it.

I need to see Brooklyn Beckham's wedding video of THAT first dance more than I need my next breath. We put man on the moon, we can unearth this video. #speirgorm

Exactly, I didn't want to be in his face all the time but he had to ask me a few things so I had to be there! And in fairness to him, he ended up doing me another two jobs while he was here so I wanted to be as least trouble as possible! I'm full sure he thought I was a loon!

The absolute mortification and awkwardness of having someone in your house doing a job for you (plumber today). He's entirely normal, I am the basket case nervously hovering in my sitting room. Like a gobshite! I am 47, I can no longer be normal with people. Is it an Irish thing?! #speirgorm

I hope there's some proper outcome here for his Mam. One of the strangest cases I've ever read. I hope there's some justice.

Best of luck!! Hope it goes really well for you.

He's looking forward to it anyway, to seeing what the food is like! I think it'll be a help to families anyway.

You look amazing Tori, and so proud!! Congratulations to you all.

Have stuck a banana and a chocolate coin (still wading through the Christmas chocolate) into the child's bag for school tomorrow as they're starting the free hot lunches in his place this week. It's so odd not to be making sandwiches! We'll see how it goes! #speirgorm
