It's my life: Tric Kearney

In an attempt to cheer my hair up over the past few weeks, I’ve used half the household budget

I HAVE a problem and , even before I share it, I know that it will not ring alarm bells for anyone. Most people may even think I’m being ridiculous, but a problem is a problem. So, regardless of your lack of empathy for my situation, I’ll just say it out loud: my hair gel is no longer on sale in Ireland.

There, I knew it, no one cares. But if you were to walk by me and catch sight of my forlorn hair sitting atop my head with no life in it whatsoever, I have little doubt but that you would comment, ‘Oh dear, would you look at the state of her.’
