TK Maxx: excellent store where you may come home with a new sports bra, floral lint roller, cheese grater, Elemis eye cream and something by Stella McCartney you only bought because you saw the tag and got excited.
TJ Maxx: someone Vin Diesel has played in a movie

weird thing about journalism is when something big happens you spring into work mode - and that's fine but i woke up this morning thinking about copy filed, stuff to edit and didn't even realise until i was walking the dogs how utterly sad i feel

Inviting smart, original new pitches for the life section of The Irish Independent - if you're pitching for the 1st time do send cuts, and 100% familiarise yourself with the site 1st. I commission life/ents/style/celeb and more - it's broad but brilliant ideas always welcome 👀

I might just be a cranky bitch this morning but PRs asking for PDFs is my absolute bugbear - your company can shell out a quid for the paper or you can subscribe online for LITERALLY pence - if you'd like us to be here in a year/10 years then that would be my advice 😡

if anyone feels like they are under major social obligation rn then be assured you are not alone. Not everyone is booking tables in pubs, staycations or ordering dresses on ASOS or getting manis and that's perfectly fine too!

reminder (mostly to me) that sometimes you can be doing everything 'right' - eating green things, moving your ass, getting 8 hours, not downing pints like water, and STILL feel like absolute shite.

I wake up every night about 3am and i love it (I make tea, watch tele, read, do a bit of life admin or clean up round the house) then go back to bed. Turns out this is what they did in the Middle Ages.
Anyone else do this too?

She asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said a writer. She took one of the postcards, and wrote 'Keep writing Katy, love Angela' on it and I skipped back to my mum very happy with myself that I had met Jessica Fletcher in the flesh.
