Limerick. No other words needed – Aoife

I am happy that there’s a hideous cacophony coming from my sitting room, where the neighbourhood kids and my two are murdering every musical instrument in sight – Ita @itaryan

Ecstatic for my girl: 532 points on Wednesday. Got offered my dream job on Friday. My daughter turned 18 yesterday and today accepted a place in Theoretical Physics at Trinity College. Joy! – Fiona @fionadoris

In two weeks’ time a big truck will arrive at my house in Sydney to pack it up and deliver its contents back to Dublin. I am GIDDY with excitement. A small thing but after 7 years I can’t wait to have the IT print edition in my hands every day – Ali @alilevins1
