Do mean girls ever go away? Or do they just follow you through all walks of life? And if you are unfortunate enough to have them as housemates, what's the best way to deal with them? Ants in the bed? Clingfilm on the toilet bowl? Charleen and Ellie discuss in Rant of The Week.

There's also a dilemma from a listener who moved all the way to Australia for her boyfriend but feels like since she got there he's treating her more like a housewife rather than giving her the princess treatment she used to get from him.

Tickets for the Hold My Drink live shows on Nov 5th & 6th in Vicar Street and Nov 23rd in UCH, Limerick are available now on Ticketmaster and the UCH box office.

Is being stingy worth breaking up over? That's the dilemma the girls have to deal with this week after one listener got in touch wondering if she was wrong to expect her partner, who earns a lot more than her, to pay a bit more for their holiday together.

Ellie turns to the internet for flirting tips and Charleen explains the Crumbl Cookie controversy.

They also help one listener who is struggling with a Halloween costume that's just too revealing for her as well as one who is being forced to decide between her toxic family and her 21st birthday.

And the big announcement! Hold My Drink will return to the stage LIVE in Vicar Street on the 5th and 6th of November and UCH, Limerick on the 23rd of November. Tickets will be available from Thursday at 10am on Ticketmaster and the UCH box office.

In this week's dilemma, Charleen and Ellie hear from one listener whose boyfriend has taken to looking up her sister and local girls on social media after she confronted him about his OnlyFans usage!

The girls were joined by the amazing Seanagh Rice from Dancity Ireland this week. She told her story of being diagnosed with breast cancer while 26 weeks pregnant. The girls heard how she coped with the diagnosis and how the pregnancy impacted her treatment, including by reducing her options for pain relief after surgery to simply paracetamol.

Seanagh underwent a mastectomy, c-section and chemotherapy all within a few weeks of each other - A huge toll for anyone. She opened up about how the experience affected her both physically and mentally.

Seanagh's cancer was thankfully caught while still manageable and demonstrates the importance of breast checks and regular screenings. For information about breast cancer and self checks, please visit www.breastcancerireland.com
