This week’s guest is the brilliant Fiona Frawley comedian, broadcaster, and one half of Spin 103.8’s Breakfast team, helping Dublin wake up laughing every morning. Off‑air, Fiona shares her home with her husband Duane Doogan and their dog Danish and as she tells Brendan, actually buying that home back in 2022 was anything but straightforward. From unexpected roadblocks to moments that felt more farce than fairytale, Fiona opens up about a house‑hunting journey that seriously tested her patience (and her sense of humor). It’s a light‑hearted, honest chat about comedy, radio, relationships and discovering that getting the keys to your dream home can sometimes come with a few plot twists along the way. There are plenty of practical tips along the way - so have your pen and paper ready - as well as moments of humour, heart and reassurance. If you’ve ever wondered if home ownership is possible, Fionas story proves that with the right support, it absolutely is.   For more information and to speak with a mortgage advisor, checkout aib.ie [https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faib.ie%2Four-products%2Fmortgages%2Ffirst-time-buyers%3Futm_source%3DMyfirsthome%26utm_medium%3Dpodcast%26utm_campaign%3DMy_first_home.&data=05%7C02%7CBarry.Finnegan%40dmgmedia.ie%7C393f3cd428c04b734d4808de8fee6701%7C0f3a4c644dc54a768d4152d85ca158a5%7C0%7C0%7C639106451250971296%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WSFGjomQL%2FPl8BTi16pTjnWX0haDIa2nwofZUf0x76w%3D&reserved=0]. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
