    Hello Elly,

    I am so happy that you posted the video of your Mom’s appearance on the TV show.

    She was wonderful ! It is always fun to see someone you actually know appear on Television.

    Thanks for showing us the glamourous side of Grannymar’s life……

    Thanks Elly!

    Will you be in trouble tomorrow? Did your Mum ever use the wooden spoon to chastise you? :-)

    What a delight - love the accent! I’ll have to try the tip with the vinegar on my poor old dry hands.

    Grannymar, does vinegar work on feet, too? Mine sure need something.

    Congrats…congrats Grannymar! I am so happy for you. That’s fantastic. RTE should offer you a cooking/tips show. :)

    My granduncle used to have terrible allergies, but he doesn’t anymore. He takes a concoction of vinegar and honey every morning and is free of it.

    Thanks for hacking it in, Elly. :)

    Thanks Elly! Read about the appearance too late to catch it yesterday.

    WELL DONE GRANNYMAR! You look and sound fabulous! Such great tips!

    Well Done GM, what a pro you were, and I am liking that toothpaste/cd tip! can see that getting used in the studio a bit hehe.

    I tried to tune into this yesterday via the web, but RTE only let web users in Southern Ireland access it. So Thank you very much to Elly for loading this up for the rest of us.

    GM - You’re such a star!
    Very gracious and personable - and you look wonderful. Well done indeed.
    Glad I got to see it.

    And, I have to ask, how was the toyboy talent at the RTE studios?…

    Cheers.

    Thanks for posting this, Elly, Grannymar is a natural! Will we see more videos on the blog in the future? or your own show? I’m off to buy vinegar :)

    Wasn’t she fab?

    And WELL DONE to Elly for getting the recording online.

    Here’s to Grannymar’s next TV appearance!

    Thanks for posting that Elly. Grannymar - you’re a star in the making! Well done on a great appearance.

    Don’t forget us little people when you’ve made your fortune!

    A pure natural in front of the cameras.

    You could see the presenter was totally in awe and hanging on every word.

    Some links from the show’s website:

    Top Tips to make life easier in the home.

    On Today’s Show. They wrote “we have special guest super ‘Grannymar’ in to give us a few household tips and tricks”.

    I like that - Super Grannymar.

    Elly, being naughty as usual with your mammy’s Internet doings? ;)

    Great appearance, GM - made a nice change from the noise of Console Gaming. I just wonder how many people were thinking less of me for watching the Afternoon show right in the middle of the room…

    @everyone - No problem, since I’m in the US at the moment I had no chance of catching the show. The thanks should really go to my husband, George for recording, converting, editing, re-converting and uploading it so that I could get my hands on the file, mine was really the easier job!

    @d@\/e She did indeed use the wooden spoon on me (or at least the threat of it!). I’m hoping she’s not mad, especially since you guys are so happy to see it.

    Brilliant, Grannymar, you looked so calm and relaxed too. Well done. Vinegar and newspaper really is great for cleaning windows - hadn’t heard of most of the others though.

    Nice one Elly. I had to wait to get home to ‘hear’ it as my speakers at work don’t! She’s certainly a cool cucumber!

  23. Grannymar said,

    November 6, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    Thanks Elly for stealing my blog for the day to recall my five minutes of fame!

    For all my friends I have only one question…

    Who was yer wan on the show????

    Thanks for all the kind words. It was fun, alas it is now back to Cinderella chores!

    November 6, 2008 at 8:24 pm

    I’m late again..and I said I was coming straight over GM…

    ‘Twas brilliant! Well done.

    Now about the future…we have just had some trouble with couple of
    foul mouthed comedians on the BBC….and I do know a couple of people up there.

    On a serious note I rat that little clip.

    Well done Elly and Hubby!

    So that’s what the phone call was about.

    Quick question on the table saving measure, do you mean brasso and the like to remove those rings?

    Will

  27. Grannymar said,

    November 7, 2008 at 9:13 am

    Will

    Yes, Brasso was what I had in mind to remove a white ring from a polished table. Since ‘Brasso’ is a trade name I was not sure about the advertising rules on RTE.

    @Paddy - You will have to model those undergarments for us! :roll:

    @Judy - The vinegar should work on your feet as well as hands. It is also good for ‘athlete’s foot’! It will feel like iced water when you put your hands or feet in there!

    Hi Grannymar, well done on TV. It’s funny, I saw the last part of that clip recently on the breakfast re-run and the thought stuck me that the person reminded me of you. It was your voice from your podcasts that reminded me. Glad to have it confirmed it was you. You should have your own TV program.

    @JOD - Hi, how are you? Long time no hear. I miss your photos & blogging!

    Im after getting biro on my white leather handbag. I heard that alcohol is good for ghatting rid, but im afraid I will only make it worse (and it is an expensive one). Any tips for me, I’d really appreciate it.

    sorry my email was down Grannymar, only after getting your message. I missed the show unfortunately. Is there a chance you can email me the tip whenever you get a chance. Thanks again, I love your part in the Afternooon show.

    Sorry Siobhan, the answer is on todays blog post.

    The TV appearance last week was a one off.

    Hi Clare,

    Lovely to have you pop up this end of the world for a visit, even if only virtually. Thanks for the compliment, you have your father’s gift of the gab!

    Great news about the new job, it is one I would really love! Give your old man a big hug from me and keep one for yourself. xoxo

    Wow! You are so poised, Grannymar. I would have been a basket case by the time the camera came on. A Star is born!
