Dundrum Opens

We were buying... everything – dundrum opens


At last we could do some grown-up shopping with all that credit burning a hole in our tiger pockets. There was Harvey Nichols, House of Fraser and a Sushi bar, for Christ sake! We couldn't thank the Luas enough.


We were wearing… charity wristbands


Perhaps as penance for our tiger spending, we went through a brief altruistic craze of wanting to give something back. We chose to show the world how virtuous we were by wearing a fashionable array of charity wristbands. Hello, Chris Martin.


We were watching… property programmes


We just couldn't get enough of primetime TV shows that involved doing a house up and selling it on, or buying a place in the sun. We all secretly dreamt of making a mint with a shrewd buy-to-let.


We were talking about… celebrity break-ups, hook-ups and crack-ups


Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston break up. Pitt hooks up with Angelina Jolie. Some crazy people declare themselves Team Aniston or Team Jolie. Total loon Tom Cruise jumps on Oprah's couch and tells the world he loves Katie Holmes. Yeah, right.
