Last weekend got off to an exciting start for me, given that my boyfriend Ben Foden's team were playing against Munster in the Heineken Cup.
He plays for Northampton and as I'm from Thurles, in the heart of Munster, it always makes for a tricky encounter!
It was quite tough for me seeing them compete against each other and one radio station did call me up and asked if I would go on and talk about it. But I didn't want to upset anyone, so I said no. Of course, I'm 100pc loyal to my province and I'm very proud of where I'm from, but I'm also very in love and of course you want to see your boyfriend do well. I'm happy enough to sit on the fence and cheer on both teams.
They'll be going up against Munster again in April and that will be a very exciting game. They are both very strong sides and Munster have such a massive support network, it always makes for a brilliant atmosphere.
Before I met Ben, I'll happily admit I didn't have a clue about rugby but I'm getting much better now. The only part I don't enjoy is watching the scrums as when he's suddenly brought down you just think, 'I hope they're okay' and you're holding your breath waiting for them to get up again -- it's such a scary feeling. Luckily, the position he plays in means he's not in those dangerous situations too much -- he hasn't got cauliflower ears either, thank God!
I'm really in the nesting stage at the moment, given that we have moved into our new house. The past few days I've been all domestic and doing things around our home. The washing machine broke down so I called up the plumber to ask him to fix it.
But when I told him the brand, which was probably the cheapest one in Argos, he told me it would probably cost more to repair it than buy a new one! So instead, I treated myself to a brand new washer and dryer and solved the whole problem.
