Jo Failed Her Driving Test In 7 Minutes…
•
This week on Happily Murrayed, Jo tells the story of failing her driving test in just seven minutes… and why Conor had to come rescue her after crashing the car (again).
We also celebrate our third wedding anniversary, talk house updates, interior design decisions, and why Conor still isn’t over losing carpet in the bedroom.
In this week’s Murray Mailbag, we get into Leaving Certs, GCSEs, A-Levels, long-distance relationships, summer romances, how many kids we’d like, parenting differences, and what our death row meals would be.
Plus: Derry food chat, fighting in relationships, and Jo’s dream job if she wasn’t doing this.
