On this morning's show, we received an excellent message from a lady by the name of Roisín Masterson from Lifford, Co.Donegal, who wanted to share a lovely family moment with us.
Roisín's sister Louise has wanted to go on the Today Fm Ski Trip for years now, in fact it has been a big dream of hers, but life seems to always get in the way. We've all had that, right? Well with the help of an ingenious concept from their mum, and a little bit (well a lot) of deciphering, Louise got her wish and will be hitting the piste with us next January.
So how did they do it? Well with Louise turning the big 3-0 today, the ladies brought her out for a very "fancy shmancy" (their words) meal in Harvey's Point over the weekend. As they sat for the meal, they gave her a bag with some individual letters in it (scrabble style), and the deal was that she couldn't eat until she knew what they spelled out.
Now Louise wouldn't be of Countdown standards, so it took quite a while to realise what it said (as they were all mixed up - not in order like below), but she got there in the end...
The others had already finished their starters and were tucking into their mains by the time she solved the riddle, so to say she was famished is an understatement.
We gave the two sisters a buzz to hear all about Louise's meal to remember, "for a big birthday it was a class present", and Roisín took the chance to shame her beloved sister live on air. Sure isn't that what sisters are for?.
