A sign of growing older, according to my mother. A fact I’ve made peace with, although I’m not quiet there yet with the fine lines etching their way across my 20-something face.

Hide AdI usually start sentences when referencing the past by saying “remember a couple of months ago” only to be informed said scenario occurred several years prior.
So when I caught a snippet of The Apprentice last week a memory resurfaced when I heard a Scottish voice amongst the contestants.
Rewinding the telly there stood Laura Hogg. A girl I met while presenting a project called The Hirer with Fake Bake. She was one of seven finalists battling for a management job with the fake tan company.
She was beaten to the role by an amazing gal called Victoria, but was offered a position under her.
I got all excited and turned to the Belfast boy to tell him of my Hogg connection: “Remember when I did that Hirer thing a few months back? Laura was one of the girls.” “Love that was in 2008.”
Dog years, I’m telling you.
