8pm - 9pm - Molly McGuinness

Riddled with guilt in a rise and grind society, self confessed slob-life advocate Molly was beginning to question her choices. Should she have savings? Is it weird to eat your mattress? And is there more to life than a pub with karaoke and a buffet? But when she’s suddenly laid out by a rare life-threatening illness, Molly is forced to slob out whether she likes it or not…
