More than half of us lie about what we did at the weekend, according to a survey done by Jury’s Inn. In order to make our lives seem more fun, we will go into work this morning and lie our faces off about what an interesting weekend we had. The lies we’re most likely to tell, judging by the listeners of the Early Breakfast, are that we:
- Painted the town red on Saturday night
- Visited friends
- Went to a dinner party
- Went out for a romantic meal
... when actually we just stayed at home in our jammies, watching X Factor, face-down in a bucket of Ben and Jerry’s.
Personally, I had a wild Saturday night. I mean, WILD. Still recovering! (Truth: ate dinner at the in-laws, home by 11, albeit full of delicious lasagna and wine). Here are some of the things you got up to this weekend - some are clearly lies... I think?!
- “Paula I ended up at a Metallica gig, moshed around for 3 hours and haven’t slept ion 2 days. Truth: I minded the kids as mammy was away. All weekend, refereeing fights, cleaning noses and making dinners nobody ate!”
- “Morning Sweet P Wow!!!! What a weekend! Friday I finished work and dashed straight to the airport, into me G5 Private Jet over to New York. Had dinner in Little Italy. Back on the plane to Perpignan in the south of France to the Chateaux. Then I sailed for Elba because I'd a goo on me for some local goats cheese and olives. Got the jet back to Ireland and I'm heading into work now for a rest. NOT! Well you did say I could exaggerate a bit. Truth is I just chilled out and did a whole lot of nothing! Have a great day everyone! Whoop whoop!” - Shay
- “Paula we ended up in Coppers on Friday and Saturday in fact we just stayed there and didn’t go home on Friday, we’re wild (truth: inlaws were visiting and best behaviour was displayed)”
- “Morning Paula at the weekend I handcrafted some wooden furniture in my house from scratch yes Paula I put together some Ikea furniture!”
- “Paula I actually did have a wild weekend – had Saturday night away from the kids and we went to a hotel. We were so excited to have a child free night away that we peaked too early and were in bed by midnight. It’s not fair!” - Sharon
- “Paula I went sky diving, it was mad. (I barely left the couch)”
- “Tell my workmates ANYTHING about my weekend???? It'll be raining upwards before that happens!” - Dave, Clondalkin
- “I tried to walk off some of the 4 lbs that i put on while in London the previous weekend!” - Sarah Wicklow town
- “Hi Paula. I went off to see a glacier and visit a chocolate factory...well... what I actually did was I went off to see a glacier and visit a chocolate factory... I’m listening here in Switzerland!” - Vince
- “Morning Ireland, well our weekend was completely different from the norm. On Thursday morning my daughter and I flew to Antwerp, where on Friday night we saw Metallica ROCK and had to come back down to earth yesterday when we arrived home!”
- “Hi Paula. We were in Barretstown Castle. We had such an amazing time with the most caring people in the world. They could not have done more for us. We'll never forget it. The theme was a Cowboy weekend. Yeeehawww!” - The Byrne Family '
- Hi Paula, Awful Bald here, I went to the FAI cup final, ‘twas Baltic cold and Dundalk lost. However, on a good note, I was wearing my Mac Sweeney beanie, worth its weight in gold! Love the show!”
- “Hi Paula I power washed the yard, there's something very satisfying washing away all the dirt old miss to reveal a lovely clean white foot path!”
- “Hi Paula, I went to Dermot and Dave in Claremorris on Saturday night and thought I'd go into labour with the laughter. Decided after the show to go on maternity leave early so I can listen to them and probably will put me in to labour with our twins!”
