The beige food has been plated up. I repeat - the beige food has been plated up. Happy New Year! #speirgorm

There is no justification for this. None. If you're condoning this you're a genocidal scumbag.

Having a boiling cup of tea (burnt the mouth off myself) cos I'm bloody freezing. I've been making 'grand stretch' jokes since the 21st but seriously when is the actual grand stretch coming cos I'm at the end of my rope with this dank cold business. Like seriously meteorologists, when is it coming?

I don't struggle with 'what day is it' over Christmas anymore cos my old lady peri menopause heart palpitation pills come in a daily blister pack. So I always know what day it is! #auld

Am about to start peeling the potatoes for tomorrow. We'll have four adults and one almost teen and then need leftovers for Stephen'sez Day. So, roughly 27 potatoes each, would you say?

Toasted cheese sandwich filled with contraband Tayto from the Christmas Cupboard of Deliciousness. If ANY of you rat me out to my family for dipping in to the Christmas bits early I'll ruin you. Right? Shhhhh!

Helped a woman in the shop find a Christmas card for her godson. She said thanks and I tried to say “you’re welcome” and “no problem” at the same time but instead said… You Problem

Just a few more days until the 21st and then this bullshit 'dark at 3pm' nonsense will start to reverse. Honestly I feel like it's midnight, it's not good for the brain for it to be this dark all the time. Spring is coming! Hang in there!

Your annual festive reminder that Saint Nicholas bears an uncanny resemblance to Lieutenant Worf.

Just watched my kid's school carol service that they do in the local church and it was gorgeous. All the kids singing their little hearts out. And as always a feat of engineering to get 500 kids on and off the altar in a timely fashion! It was like a military parade!

The necklace in Love Actually is ugly. I'll die on this hill. Honestly, if my husband gave his mistress that monstrosity I'd feel sorry for her. #speirgorm

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

Please, no advice, it's done now, I'm begging you not to give me suggestions but - I just paid 68 euro to have 12 cupcakes delivered as a Christmas present. Sixty eight euro for 12 cupcakes. The present is WELL deserved and the convenience is helpful to me but prices are just rising DRASTICALLY.

I bought the few bottles of wine and chocolates and biscuits and gift bags a couple of weeks ago feeling all smug about being prepared. Now I have to actually put the poxy yokes into the poxy bags and remember who I poxy bought them for. Today is the day though. TODAY IS THE DAY! *war cry*

Someone in the UK REALLY wants to get hold of me. Calling every 14 seconds. *polishes nails on front of shirt* it's a trial being this popular.

This poor poor family. An appalling attack, I hope whoever did it is caught and jailed for the rest of their miserable lives.

Some fashion house needs to snap Bonnie up! That's a fabulous dress! #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

The entire Liverpool squad needs to leap out of a Christmas tree for Layla. I won't accept anything less. #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

All these talented kids, it's amazing. I'm not jealous or bitter. What are you talking about? Raging? Moi? I know all the words to Gansta's Paradise, I'll have you know. Can these kids do that? I don't think so. I. Don't. Think. So. #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

This month's #WeeDote Award goes to Keelan and Dylan #LateLateToyShow

Ophelia had all the moves here #LateLateToyShow

I firmly believe the #ToyShow is Ireland's first line of defence. Cos like any nefarious entity watching us considering taking us over would surely look at Paddy Kielty dressed as chicken jockey and think ...nah. You're grand. We'll leave you be. #LateLateToyShow

CHICKEN JOCKEY!! #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

Ok that’s it, no sleeping tonight after seeing Paddy in the labubu fursuit. #latelatetoyshow

My husband teacher is twitching in the corner with the whole six seven thing. There's some rocking back and forward going on too. #LateLateToyShow #ToyShow

The sticky sausages are ready. I repeat, the sticky sausages are ready. #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

The little tongues sticking out while they're playing keepy uppy! Aw bless them. #LateLateToyShow #ToyShow

This is ART. Someone give the #LateLateToyShow producers a raise.

Literally everyone watching the #LateLateToyShow right now

I'm declaring war on the Brits over Dylan and Keelan. F*ck it, it's been long enough. This is as good a reason as any! #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

THEY'RE SHARING A TISSUE! I'm not able, stop it! #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

Tilt and Shout absolutely MUST bring out a potato only version now after that! #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

Right. I love Catherine Connolly but she has to resign and let Keelan and Dylan be joint presidents. Little DOTES! #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

So what you do is you beat the shite out of this panda and it awkwardly wobbles over? #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

SPY TOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never wanted anything more in my life than x-ray glasses. Haven't got them yet. Maybe this year, Santy! #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow
