Pop Tart has just left a message asking if I told Matt how mean the Jessica crowd were in the toilets. The answer, Pop Tart, is no, what would be the point? He would only agree with them and tell me that my image is all wrong and I need to lighten up. I don’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing they were talking about him anyway, even if it was only to say what a saddo hanger-on I am to him.

Who do you think you are?

Tara tossed that glorious hair of hers and flounced out of the kitchen. I merely suggested that she registers for an extras acting agency and she lost it. I had to endure a ten-minute lecture on how I have no clue as to what my daughter is interested in. Then she declares that I deliberately push her into arenas where she is going to fail.

‘Why would you fail?’

‘Because I don’t look like an actress. I am not pretty enough,’ she said.

She truly has no notion at all of how beautiful she is. How is it possible that I have brought her up with no self-worth? It is my biggest failing as a mother to have not instilled in my child that she is the most beautiful girl in the world. I know brains are important, personality matters, and kindness trumps the lot, but everyone knows we just say those things. Tara is one of those special people who have no idea how they impact on the world. It is my responsibility to lay out opportunities in her path. I must speak to Sammy about orchestrating a little perk of the job treat for her. She needs to see what others see when they look at her.

Must make sure I do interesting things with my week. My number of Instagram followers hasn’t risen for a week and I need to find a brand aesthetic that will work for me. Twinkling fairy lights draped over everything is so last season. I need to find some natural foliage. I could arrange lots of branches and maybe I could hang little jam jars with lit candles in them. It would make a pretty back drop for pics of me. Maybe Tara would like a trip to the Botanic Gardens to pilfer some trees?

My week: Work, commute from Belfast, three events to attend in Dublin, a theatre outing, and a Friday night fake away and catch up with Tara. Fake away consisted of rice noodles and stir fry tofu.

Must remember to do that hot yoga class on Sunday morning.
