Editor, reporter, broadcaster, educator and proud mum! 🥰 tweets are my own thoughts, not my employers. if you don’t agree that’s cool- just don’t expect a row!
When you’re a goalkeeper... and an only child... in self isolation... and trying to keep up with your training... 😂😂came up with this himself! I’m so impressed.

That was a day to remember!!!!😳😂
No joke; Nate has a rake of interviews tomorrow. He’s buzzing, this has been the most wonderful distraction from a thing that was worrying him- so, thanks Twitter!
Delighted you all enjoyed the video!
Well, I’ve just come home from I think the worst date. I think he’d agree to be fair; not a great show at all.
Insulting my home, my job and challenging me to ignore a text from my son- 4 toilet breaks and a smoke break. All within the hour.
Don’t even care if he reads this.🙈

Just did my tan. Walked into the sitting room. The child who has had no voice for 4 days now mustered up the strength to whisper:
“Alright Donald Trump.”
I swear to God.

... so what did you do during lockdown??? My brother-in-law transformed his business to keep going thru

. He built this from scratch- it’s a movement pod or home office. Check out or DM me if you wanna know more. 👍🏻

In March, my bro-in-law’s company hit a major snag. They built all the exhibits we took for granted eg: ploughing championships. Shut up shop overnight😔but an AMAZING team reimagined themselves. Lots of people contacted me about this, just FYI they caught up on the waiting list!
Just as well I’m off today. 😂😂😂that was something else!! Alway proud of nathan but he’s playing a real blinder today; no bother dealing with the press inquiries. 😂😂😂
Me... thinking about all my great plans that I was so looking forward to in 2019- and the realisation I now how to start doing the work rather than just talking about it...
So today I found out my son has made it into a Sky Sports promo now! 😂 that little clip genuinely keeps on surprising me!! May get to experience all the amazing opportunities that were put on hold yet!

... for those who don’t follow me on Instagram- his bedroom is permanently upside down; he never knows where his school bag is- but this was by the front door for the last few days waiting for tonight. 😂🥰

Give me strength.
My teenage son just RANG ME FROM UPSTAIRS (we live in a 3 bed semi in D24) asking me to come up to give him a hug because he’s too tired to move.
I can’t even….
Big day in the Tobin household.
My Dad, aged 75, graduated with flying colours from a year long, full-time diploma at

Listen to his fans down the back!😂😂
We’re all very very proud🙌🏼

Nobody’s perfect but we must be doing something right… my ex and I had a fab meal this evening to celebrate our son’s 14th birthday- his idea.
It was so nice, I’m very proud of all of us but particularly the main man. He gets what’s important. ❤️
To end this mental year, as I sit and chill after a very busy day, I spot my child on ‘Callan kicks of the year’ rallying a ball off the back fence again!
A lot has happened since that hysteria. 😂you’d easily forget the good times, but that made me smile. ❤️

... I can put this here because my son isn’t on Twitter. But when he gets home from his dad’s tomorrow, he’s gonna get a surprise!
Welcome Bonnie 😻 (currently playing sketch under the shelves... little dote)
Things have *started* to calm down... 😜blown away by the genuinely gorgeous messages of solidarity and hilarity.
Delighted that Nathan made so many smile-he makes me smile all the frickin time.❤️❤️

Two weeks into my new job- which I ❤️.
Two weeks since my son started secondary and one week since his dad emigrated.
This month was always gonna be a rollercoaster- I’m so proud of him, but I’m claiming it as a win for me too!

We went for ‘a walk’ this evening. As we got home and I realised I dropped 20 quid-I can’t afford to throw away money.🙈
So Jenn insisted we walk til we find it- and sure enough- she found it!almost back at her house for a second time!
Everyone needs a pal like

It was a biggie for me today-40. Starting LOTS of new adventures, and steering the ship on my own.
I had the best birthday; I’m so lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful people-even though we can’t be together, they all made sure I felt their love today. So thanks guys ❤️
Had a moment today- can’t really go into detail yet but; you know when everything is just trudging along and you’re trying your best but it’s like pushing a boulder up a hill and you’re yearning for something good…
Well that good thing happened today.🤩
My son just RANG ME from upstairs to say goodnight because he’s ‘too wrecked’ after Tribe tonight.
We live in a semi-d in Dublin. Precious is not the word. 🙈
Still, he cared to say goodnight- hopefully that means no hussy has stolen his heart yet- phew. 🤣
It’s two years since I was found unresponsive and going blue on the kitchen floor… absolutely terrifying time but very lucky to once again have my sis to help pick up the pieces. ❤️
Thankfully got a clean bill of health but still- strange what stress can do!
A couple of weeks ago,I asked for positivity for our friend who had a brain haemorrhage.Sorry to say he lost his fight last night.Leaves a devastated wife,4 fab kids and a wonderful family and friends who are all reeling.Please keep them in your thoughts.Just, the worst. 😔
Dinner date… couldn’t face cooking. Mental day. Needless to say someone is delighted with the decision! 💜 any excuse to wear the ‘good’ third strip.
@lufc
🤣
I just want to acknowledge the
@HSELive
team at Citywest today.
We queued 2 hours but it’s fine; we are delighted.
Every team member was pleasant & helpful-big shout out to Joan who did Nate’s vax. She addressed him, talked to him; he was delighted.
A great experience🙌🏼
So I’m spontaneously going away away for a few days. Was decided at 10 this morning. The excitement- it’s like the weeks of build up for a normal holiday squeezed into a few hours. I highly recommend surprise trips!
Every day since I started my ‘new job’ back in January, I’ve asked myself why the hell didn’t I do this 10 years ago.
Food for thought for anyone out there who is going through the motions ‘cause it’s easier’- shake it up; get that fire in your belly again.
It’s a year to the day that my son found me unresponsive and blue on the kitchen floor. 😳
Hospitalised for almost a week, off the road for ages til they ruled out epilepsy and still no idea what happened. 🤷🏼♀️
Just had a pinch me day today. What a year.
#lucky
Had probably one of the worst weeks that anyone can have this last week. My bro in law rang earlier and invited me over for dinner- he was cooking.
A steak sandwich and random chats with him and my sis and all was well again. Thank God for family.
#blessed
My son has agreed to watch whatever movie I want tonight because I organised for him to go down to Wexford next week and he’s delighted…
Just about to put on Dirty Dancing.
I’ll let you know how it goes… 😂
I’m back to work tomorrow- no worries about that because I love my job- but today I’m in the garden re-reading one of the best books I’ve ever read.
My friends made me buy it on a night out last month, this is my second read.
@GlennonDoyle
thank you. 🥰
Gas. Went into work earlier and met a new colleague who asked me how he knew me-did he see me on tv before??
I started to explain my job and what I do but before I could finish he stopped me and said ‘Is your kid the Leeds goalie?’
Back to Earth with a wallop 😂😂😂Gas...
@Jer0meAtH0me
Oh we met online, had been texting for the last two weeks so felt I had a suss of him.
Just goes to show texting gives a false sense of security!
It’s been a while but I feel like I’ve been laughing with Twitter pals all day so didn’t want to do an Irish goodbye-
Thanks for the first date laughs you mad eggs
Twitter still has its uses but today was so much fun x
I'm honestly in disbelief at some of the tone deaf tweets on my timeline today. We all have a right to be furious about what happened to

Anyone who is taking offence or making this a man-v-woman conversation need to take long hard look at themselves.🤬🤬
I crawled the length of the M50 at rush hour to get to my NCT- 15mins late and stupidly went to the WRONG centre.
Once they saw my booking the very sound staff took my car in anyway, and she passed!🙌🏼🎉 I was so close to turning around in the traffic too.
It’s the little wins!
For the first time since March 2020, this is where I spent my Friday. It was magic- all the better that
@ShamrockRovers
won 2-0 (should have been more!) Happy days. ☘️⚽️🙌🏼
It’s a sad state of affairs that I’m home alone watching

Really feeling it today. 🙄

I wake up tomorrow to a new reality. I’ll be the mother of a teenager. 🤯
Nathan is 13.
Lockdown was tough anyway but he has blown me away with his maturity, calmness and practicality.(how?!) Without a doubt-my proudest achievement.
He’d kill me if he was on Twitter 🤣❤️
The first day nerves have kicked it!! Tomorrow I start my brand new job as account manager with Harris PR.
I’ll be hitting the ground sprinting as there is a busy Sept ahead- I’m so excited to meet the super talented team and get stuck in.

When he wakes up tomorrow, this awesome human will be 12 years old. I can’t quite believe it...
I’m so lucky to be his Mum.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
@nathanfanagan
, I love you so much buddy. 🎉🎂🎁🎊xxx
He headed off to visit his dad for a week this morning. I was thinking it’d be a nice breaks but I feel like my arm has been lobbed off.
Only 6 days to go.
Mum and dad are having a super bank holiday anyway; not missing us one bit!! Their super talented neighbour Sean Boland doing his bit to raise the spirits... brilliant 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Today I watched on as a beautiful, loved lady was laid to rest after a brave 18 month battle with cancer. She wasn’t yet 50.
All of her 6 adored kids, husband, brother, dad & friends spoke and there was no hiding their utter devastation.
Thinking of them all tonight. RIP Adine x
There must be something in the water.. IT’S ALL CHANGE!
After 2 years, I’m buzzing to say I’m heading back to the world of journalism.
I had the best time with the amazing team
@Harris_PR
and all their fab clients but this Monday I start as content editor with
@dmgmedia_Irl
!🎉🍾
Today I found out that there is a gang of people I barely know talking about me as though they do, and saying some pretty awful things.
2 years ago it would have broken my heart, and I would have tried to correct the record.
But today… 🤣 IMAGINE BEING THAT SAD.
GOOD NEWS STORY OF THE DAY:

Mum had to have an operation today. She’ll be in hospital for a week or so and we can’t visit😢however, she called from ICU tonight with the help of a lovely nurse and I know now she’s in good hands... thank God for them!
Went to super valu to buy some wine. At the till, the young fella says ‘have you got some ID?’
I laughed, said ‘you serious?!’
He said ‘No.’
Little sh1t.🙈🤣🤣🤣
So today I was in studio for the first time since my BBL treatment with Dr Dallas… there is no filter on this!! Studio light ok, but I can’t stop looking at myself 😂😂😂❤️
His first match back between the posts- went in for a brave tackle and chipped his collarbone and damaged ligaments. Made the save though! ⚽️⚽️
