Happy Tuesday, welcome back to a lot on your plate podcast.
Welcome back, bitches.
I hope you enjoyed last week's episode.
You all seem to love the filth and the juice.
Excuse the pun.
Who is loving the Scottish sunshine?
27 degrees today and we're stuck in this bloody studio.
We've got aircon, nice and cool.
Yeah, the guys up next have introduced some aircon, so that's gorgeous.
They said to use for two weeks of the year, which is Fairfox.
it's nice and cool
we actually said it's a little bit too nippy
it's stuck in around the sun though is it not
I hope so
because I was in Norfolk two weeks ago
and I was fuming
I wasn't fuming with the sun
the sun was 30 degrees every single day
maybe a little bit too hot
yeah when you're not lying by a pool
but it was consistently
27 to 30 degrees every day
for like eight days straight
where I was in Norfolk and Leicester
but back here it was raining the whole time
and I thought
I hate that for Scotland
I know.
It's such a shame.
We're not that far away.
I know it's bizarre.
But it's just taking a few days to work its way, up the UK.
Up to the goods part.
Exactly.
And it still is the good part.
I'm not changing my mind on that.
Although for a second I was like, oh, it would be nice.
Just live in this all the time.
I think I forget being in Leicester, it was always gorgeous every summer.
Is it really?
Yeah.
You get a good summer there
Yeah, I'd say so, yeah
It's quite close to London really, isn't it?
Yeah
It's not guaranteed
It's the midlands, but it's an hour train,
55 minute train
Yeah
Interesting, right, what's on today's episode
On today's episode
We're going to have one big fat catch up
Love it
Like what we've been up to
And we're going to talk through some of our
Listeners DiLembers
We've had a few nice emails
I'm ready
And before we move on to the app
We hope you all enjoyed
our YouTube special last Friday with Lorna McNey.
Lovely fun.
Something about deaf, eh?
Yes. So it is a YouTube exclusive.
It is a side dish, but we've made it available for everybody to watch.
So you can watch it over on Patreon or you can watch it on YouTube.
Gorgeous.
So please check that out.
Give us some feedback.
So somebody wrote to us and I believe it was on Patreon and it was off the back of you talking about Grace Beverly.
saying that she got all of her friends over on a Monday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she said that their group chat, life gets so busy.
Some of them have got kids.
Some of them have just moved away.
And she felt like the group chat was just dwindling.
They were losing contact with one another.
It didn't have the spark anymore.
So they all mutually agreed to give the group chat a little bit of a boost.
That every single Monday, they would all voice note about their weekends.
and life updates, goss, talk about something that's going on,
a little bit like a little mini podcast from every single person in the chat.
It didn't put pressure on any of them having to contact or reply back straight away
and it was just every single week.
Obviously they'd still speak in between,
but every single week without fail you had to do something called motivational Mondays
and they would all send a motivational, uplifting, updating voice note to each other.
That's cute, I like that.
I thought that was so sweet.
That is nice.
You know, it's no pressure on everyone replying instantly.
But it's like, right, everyone, give us an update.
What you went up to?
Yeah, and there's not necessarily replies required all the time.
No.
Unless you want to ask someone about something,
but it's just kind of doesn't need you be a conversation.
Here's what I was up to tell me about you, and that's it.
Yeah.
Pretty like that.
So, I thought it was really cute, to be honest.
Yeah, love that.
Anyway, off you go.
I've got quite a lot to tell you today.
Can't wait.
Number one being I ticked off another.
30 before 30 I visited Ireland for the first time.
Woohoo!
I forgot about that. That feels like a lifetime ago.
I was in Dublin.
Thoughts?
Have we not? I've spoken since then or not?
No?
Definitely not.
Definitely not.
I went to Dublin.
I loved it.
Yeah?
I think I went kind of expecting to not love it
because I know quite a few of
you included or pals prefer Belfast.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean I don't like Dublin.
No, I know, but that's kind of...
what I then realised at my head.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you know what I mean?
Yeah.
So loved Dublin, me and my mum went to see, take that.
Mm-hmm.
We only booked it the week before.
It was gorgeous weather.
We stayed in the Chancery Hotel, which was really nice.
Just five-minute walk from, like, the Temple Bar.
So kind of...
Great location.
The busy bit.
And the bit that everything really is, I guess.
Yeah.
Which was a lovely hotel.
We got a wee upgrade, actually.
But I've never said we've upgraded you.
Wow.
be deluxe room.
Is that because your mom puts something in the notes?
My mom put stuff in the notes about like it's always first time visiting Dublin,
Sir 30, blah, blah, blah.
Free breakfast.
That's so good.
It was lovely.
And actually what we didn't realize was there was a spa.
Right.
At the bottom of the hotel was like a week in a hot tub, chakusie, saw in a steam room.
Are you going to tell me that they were doing works on it and you couldn't go?
No, we actually could go.
I went.
Oh my God.
I went in there and I enjoyed it.
Did you have a kossie with you?
Had a cosy, yeah.
Perfect.
Because it was a sweet at the top of the hotel
and my mom was like to eat your kossi just in case we upgraded it to us so we did.
And thank God we did because it was a spa.
So that was a lovely experience.
We'd recommend great location, really gorgeous hotel, like nice breakfast,
a nice restaurant and bar that you could go to like before or after you've been out.
We went after to take that.
So the first day we went down to the Temple Bar area.
We went in an Irish pub just next to it.
that the singer and stuff on
we also went into the photo booth
that's right next to the temple bar
very cute
it's like in a vintage shop
oh yeah
really cute vibes
went in there a wee pick
we listened to a guy
singing had some nachos
and then we went a wee wander
and then we went to a place
called Sophie's for dinner
the rooftop bar
before take that
and that was Gorge
yeah
take that would be there
amazing
so good
take that put on such a good show
like I don't listen
during the week
to take that
They put on such a good show.
And it was quite funny because they do their old songs, obviously,
and they still do the dance.
Yeah.
But a few of people replied to my close friends being like,
what the fuck is that?
And I was like, they know that they look ridiculous.
They know that they're taking the piss of it.
Like, that.
Like that.
Yeah.
But it was so good.
What a show.
Big Elephant.
Because it's a circus show, isn't it?
It was a circus tour again.
Yeah.
Which I hadn't seen before.
Me, my mom, when we've seen them once before, it wasn't the circus.
So that's kind of why we wanted to go.
And honestly, you didn't know where to look.
So something going on.
There was like trapeze.
There was people jumping off of like a, what do you call that?
Like a big bouncy ball?
Trampoline.
Eyo.
Cesaw.
E saw.
Eio.
Eio.
Like going off of that, doing flips, everything.
There was people on tricycles.
No.
Unicycles.
Yeah.
What the fuck do you call these things?
I don't know.
Someone went from one side.
the stadium to another on a tight rope.
It was honestly really good.
And then the big elephant
that people have seen all over TikTok,
there's someone lying upside down
being the elephant's tail. Have you seen that?
No.
So a girl's feet are on top of the elephant.
She lies upside down, down like the back,
basically over the bum of the elephant.
And on her head she has the tail.
Right.
So she's upside down doing like sit-ups
and swinging to be the tail.
Like you could have just stuck the tail on.
I just don't know if the girl's required.
What, did Lulu come out?
No.
She came out when I saw them in ours.
Another woman came out who was really good.
But anyway, we had a bloody great time.
And we also passed a wee market walking on the first day,
which I forget what it was called.
But I had a vintage shop in it, like reselling designer.
Nice.
And I got the perfect pair of shoes you've ever seen in your life.
What are they?
They're Louis Vuitton,
slip-on heeled mules.
Perfect.
It was like Cinderella's slipper.
I don't have nice feet, as everyone knows.
And we saw them and we went in for a look anyway.
They'd like loads of Macs.
Like it was really, really cool shop.
It's called Loo's Loft, if anyone's going.
And in the window, my mum pointed out
was a wee black pair of just slip on mules.
Like one wee strap across the front, really simple.
She was like, they're so nice.
And I thought, they're my size.
I can tell by looking at them.
and we wandered around
and eventually I asked to try them on
and honestly I put my feet in
it was like Cinderella glass shoe
my feet looked gorgeous in them
and that's never happened
in my whole entire life
so you had to have them
so I bought them
good for you hen
they're gorgeous
and I actually
so I actually changed something on my list
because I had buy
meaningful piece of jewelry on it right
so you put buy something vintage
I put on it by
buy something special
or something like that because I know this is so deep
but it was a nice wee special moment
Yeah
Because I was with my mom and she was like
You should try them
And neither of us are massive spenders
Like I do like good things
But I'm not in the position that we're going
And doing it all the time
Do you know what I mean?
My mom would never
So it was a wee like
Oh my God I love them
And I was like I love them too
And then the girl who served
Was an Irish girl
And she was like I didn't want to be salesy
But they looked fucking perfect in your feet
But she didn't say that until I was
Bying them
Because she didn't want to push me
Yeah
And I was like no I agree
so I'll be wearing them on my 30th birthday I think
Are they black?
They're black
So it was quite nice
So yeah I tick that off because I changed some
Kind of cheating but kind of not
I've decided I don't want to buy a watch
Yeah
I like this watch enough
I don't want to buy a really expensive watch
So I wouldn't want to tick that off
You know what I mean
Anyway did that that that was gorgeous
And then the next day I really wanted to go to jail
Yep
But tip for everyone that's going to Dublin
In their life or the near future
you have to book that months in advance.
Oh.
Yeah.
It's booked out for the next two months.
Right.
So I couldn't go.
It's gutted.
I set my alarm for nine though because they put any cancellations up in the morning between 9 and 9.15.
But there was nothing.
Apparently it's really good.
So I will go back for that.
We flew as well, by the way.
I don't know.
You can get the ferry, can you?
To Belfast.
Can't get it to Dublin?
Not that I know of now.
Well, anyway, so we flew because that's only way you can get there.
But maybe you can.
I've just, I don't know.
I just assumed you can, but maybe you can't.
Maybe.
I just know our people going to Belfast in Fair.
Maybe it is just Belfast.
Get anything Guinness?
Did you have a Guinness at any point?
Soie.
Yeah, we didn't do anything.
We didn't do the Guinness tour and I didn't have a Guinness either.
Sacrilege.
I shouldn't have I'm bothered about that.
Not bothered with the Guinness to do.
Have you ever tried Guinness?
I think I've definitely had a sip
not that long ago
because I said
I don't know if I've ever tried the Guinness
but I think that was on a night out
so could I tell you what it was like
no I couldn't
I really enjoy Guinness
especially a Guinness and Black
or half a Guinness
so it's not it's not thick
the top bit's quite foamy
but the rest of it
especially if we get an ice cold
crisp one which you would do
probably in Dublin
which would be extortionate
as well because
Temple Bar is about 13
fucking Euro's pint.
That's crazy. I didn't actually go into it.
We just looked at it from the outside.
Oh, right.
Because it was mobbed the whole time.
And actually we were going to go out after take that
and go to like a few of the pubs.
So cut up the nightlife.
You know, mom's like party animal.
But it honestly took us,
we waited for 45 minutes outside the stadium for a taxi.
Couldn't get one.
And they walked to where we were staying for 45 minutes.
But by this point we'd walked all day.
We'd been up early.
We were at the concert.
our legs in back were fucking aching.
We're like, we're not walking.
And eventually we did walk
because we could not get a taxi.
So we should have just walked in the first place
and we would have still wanted to go out
but at that point it was midnight.
Yeah.
And my mum was like, let's just go to a pub
and I thought, no.
Like we've not drank the whole concert.
I'm not like in the mood
and I wanted to push myself
but I just couldn't have it in me.
I was in a bad mood.
Yeah.
What's you doing you're doing, aren't you?
I was annoyed.
Yeah.
Because we got out at the stadium so quickly
and then we just had to wait for ages
and it just pissed me off.
off and I was like we should have just walked from the fucking
get-go, we'd have been there, we'd have been in a pub.
And I also just thought, I'm not going into these
Irish pubs that are like full of people.
It's been really hot. They're all going to be pushed
and we are sober, our legs and feet are agony.
Like, I just, you won't get me in a good mood
in that environment, you know what I mean?
Yeah, totally.
They're all bashing off, he's steaming and all that.
So that was kind of like my Dublin experience.
The next day we just wandered around the shops area.
It went into a really nice wee place called Bailey's.
We sat outside April Caesar salad chips.
Perfect girl dinner.
And then we walked up to that cafe in sign.
Which we were going to ever drinking but we thought,
you know what,
we'll actually come back to Dublin one time and do that for lunch in the terrace because that's love.
But that area is really nice.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Is it Dawson Street or something like that?
Yeah, it's something like that.
Dublin as a whole was a lot nicer.
Than what you thought?
Than I thought it would be.
Really?
Dublin's like.
like the main, it's the capital.
So it's going to be like a mini little city.
But I just, I think I just was expecting like rowdy Irish pub.
You get that in Belfast.
Right, okay, right.
Listen, somebody messaged me saying like, what did they say?
Something like, if you didn't like, the thing they wrote it on our YouTube or something,
if you didn't like Dublin, you didn't go to the right pubs.
And it's like, I know I never said I didn't like it.
I didn't expect to, I think I expected to find more small.
Maybe pubs like that was in Donnie Goal.
like more authentic Irish small pubs where everyone's playing good instruments.
It's not really like that, but there is some really nice ones.
I think there's one called Darkie Kellys that I went to, which was really good.
And they're a little bit further out.
Yeah.
Some of them are in the city centre, but the ones that are, a bit like Glasgow.
You'd go to the West End, South Side, like you just probably need to know where you go.
But then there's a city centre where like Dawson Street, whatever it's called is,
that's a little bit more upmarket.
Yeah, I just think I expected
No-up market
Right, okay
But that's me just going completely uneducated
There's no reason for me to think that
Apart if I just was expecting pure
Irish vibes
But I guess it's not really in Dublin
Because it's more the city centre
Yeah, exactly
So I actually really liked it
I would go back
Not a problem, I'll be there
But I would like to go to Belfast as well
Especially with Belfast
It's the ease of the flight
It's 25 minutes up and down
And you could go the day
Two minutes.
Yeah.
Yeah, pretty easy.
I'm loving all these short flights.
And it's not, and Belfast isn't the Euro rose.
So it's cheaper.
Yeah, that's right.
A lot cheaper.
I went back for making a finish and touch.
She's on my teeth.
Oh yeah?
So I'm going to tell you exactly what I got done.
Okay.
Does you get an extra one?
No, I ended up not getting an extra one.
Not needed.
Okay.
Not required.
The mouth is full.
Do it?
So what have you had done?
So over the course of my tooth journey,
teeth journey,
I had emphyxilline.
I'll tell you why,
to widen my smile and connect my bite.
Okay, so there you go, everyone.
And then I had whitening.
God help everyone that has to do that moving forward.
And then I had composite finures on my top eight teeth.
Wow.
So that's what I've had.
I'll give you a smile.
to ching
Enter the sparkling sound
So that's what I've had
The perfect
I actually went to my dentures yesterday
Who knows Andrew well
And he said that's probably the best case
Of teeth he's ever seen
What mine specifically?
Yep
What the hell, really?
Not like of Andrew's work
Interesting
No, they look great
I agree with that
The before and after is really good
I'll share it on screen
but I just think they look really natural style
and now that I'm used to them
I talk normally which is a bonus
Yeah because we were concerned for a minute
anymore but that's because they were so sensitive
Yeah
And you do need to get used to your bike
Because basically you absolutely do
You've got a whole different teeth in your mouth
I know but they're not massively different in size as such
No they're not
But my
I've got the first what would you say molars at each side
Done which means
underneath them
there's more in there's more in there for my bottom teeth to hit off of yeah what i mean yeah like
the gap's not as much of a gap for the bottom teeth to like slot into now because my teeth go right
over my bottom teeth like that's just way my bite is so now that i'm used to it i can speak normally
and they look great i would recommend 10 out 10 experience you just walk around everyone now like that
no one can't ever call you a crabby cunt now well there you go there's benefits to these things
would recommend Andrew. I think he is one of the best in Glasgow.
Oh, without a doubt. Well, I think he's the best because I chose to go to him,
but I've not obviously been anywhere else, but I would recommend him.
As a cosmetic dentist, for 100%.
He's in Philip Friel and Highland.
Actually, where we're going after here? We're going to the Clarence.
So he's breaking hair Clarence virginity.
I know I've not been there. So, anyway, that's my teeth.
I also went to the Barbie exhibition.
Saw that on your story?
Exhibition.
That's a hard word.
Was it nice?
It was quite nice.
You didn't need to go to Kelvin Grove the first time because you went again.
But it's only on the bottom floor.
Yeah, it's underneath it.
So what I didn't realize is I thought they took over so all that stuff would go,
which is smart because you'd want to keep that open, obviously.
And it was nice, it was nostalgic.
I bet.
Was there any, what are they called?
Cindy.
Is it Cindy?
What's the other doll that was like the rival of Barbie?
No nothing about her in there
because it's Barbie only but Cindy rings a bell.
Now who is it that everyone used to talk about
and it was like you either had that or the other one?
Sunday does ring a bell.
Yeah.
I don't know though.
You're not thinking of Brats are you because that was after Barbies?
Yeah, Brats is too...
You weren't involved for me.
No.
I can't go to the table.
The end of it.
But it was, it was enjoyable.
It was a nice wee Sunday activity
because me and my friends,
Lindsay Louise, went to Kelvin Grove Cafe.
for brunch. Thoughts?
Yeah it was nice. I actually got a breakfast.
Like a full Scottish?
Yeah which I never do but...
They do it well don't they?
Yeah but I've spoke about this. I'm really bad with eggs at the moment, I'm really bad
with avocados at the moment I can't get back on it.
No I'm not, I've not. So everything else on the menu I was like...
Right, got it.
Think of it putting that down my throat. So I just got the breakfast, I get the mushrooms off,
I get the tap tomatoes off and I get something else off and I just get something else off and I just
an extra sausage and an extra tight scorn.
Sounds perfect to be fair.
With beans.
I had a fried egg.
I don't know that touched it actually in reflection.
But it was really enjoyable.
Sounds it.
No, I will go back.
Do you know, I don't know if I've said this before in the podcast,
but I was talking about it to the girls.
Was breakfast, brunch as a meal, least favourite.
Right.
But brunch as an activity.
Love it.
So it's quite difficult.
Like I want to go there on just for all harsh browns.
Yes.
Do you know what?
I kind of agree with you in that sense where, you know, if I'm going for brunch,
there's a lot of things on the menu there that I would like to try.
So, of course, I would love the full Scottish.
I'd also love the Asi-Bowl.
I want the granola bowl.
I'd like the smashed avocado with the feta.
Yeah.
But you always end up choosing something that you probably is a bit mid.
It's like, I could make this at home.
I know.
And for me,
I love an as eyeball
as well
but once I'm done
with the toppings
I'm bored
so I'm not leaving
brunch full
I've not eaten enough
for breakfast
and lunch combined
and then if I had
pancakes or something
I only really want a wee bit of that
yeah because I want
sweet and savoury
I know
and then
do I really want
eggs Benny
no I don't
no
so it's my least favourite that
there's a menu
full of things
but is there something
that I'm desperate
for on here
not really
do you know what I mean
by that
kudos does that
really well
kudos
Well, I would have a bowl of hash browns for there
because of the rest of Glasgow in my opinion.
They do that whole brunch menu very well.
They do.
I think it's just when you go sort of late morning
you've not had anything.
You're a bit icky in the morning anyway.
But now that you've not had breakfast,
you're extra icky because you're starving.
Yeah.
So there's a weird internal feeling
and all you actually should do
is just get a bowl of pasta.
Were you bricky?
No, it were brunch.
It's 11, 12pm.
I'd fucking do that every day.
I would.
So yeah, brunch is an activity I love as the food options I don't love.
And a pastry, it's not enough.
Agree.
A pastry is like a coffee accessory.
Agree.
Pasture's an accessory, yeah, looks cool, it's good for a pick.
An old story.
But we did that, went to the Barbary Exhibition, and then we sat in just one of the pubs.
The one we passed the other day and we said that looked good.
It's not the Clarence, but it's something like that.
It begins by a sea in Finiston across the road.
Oh, the Crescent.
The crescent.
We sat outside there because it was sunny.
Yeah, lovely.
Anyway, the table's turned.
We get back.
We get the dogs looked after.
We'd drop the cars and ended up my angels for a drink.
Just one?
No, not one.
About four appurals.
Collectively as a three, all were going down south for work the next day,
not one of us had packed.
Love it.
She really in her party girl era.
No, I am.
I actually am a party girl, either.
I'm also in my life is fun.
Have fucking fun.
You can pack in the morning.
I feel like this is becoming a thing.
Like, I've not just seen us talking about it.
I think we started a few weeks going to podcast.
Because we start, we start a few or we trends.
We do.
Everybody's having spray tans now as well.
They are.
We started that again.
I'm going to say it.
We reminded people that life is for living and it's fun to actually have fun.
100%.
And you know what?
Because we've had this discussion and obviously Bartholona did get me on my
with this but I was sitting in angels
I wasn't fucking bothered it I still hadn't
to pack I was like I'll either do it push when I
get home but you'll do it you always do
well you have to yeah there's no choice no matter
or I'll do it I'll get up an hour early I would rather
have fun my friends right now when the sun's out and got up at seven
instead of eight and pack my case couldn't agree
more are we and everyone should adopt it I don't think
I'll ever come out of this I fucking hope not because you were
boring for a bit I feel like I've never
I've never actually forgotten what fun
is but we're saying in the group chat today
I've just been a prisoner of fun for a while.
I did actually.
But when I'm out.
But when I'm out.
But when I'm out.
I didn't not hear that is what I'm going to tell you.
You were a bit.
Like you would always just no, no, no.
I think that dog made you boring.
No, the dog made me have to be at home.
See, even on that day,
see if my mum wasn't available to look after cookie
because Jason was out at that comedy gig
and he was also out drinking.
I couldn't have, I could have taken cookie,
but it's not enjoyable.
So you do need to go home for the dog.
I mean, I know.
just life, isn't it? But also the period of time
that I had the dog was also, you and jelly were new
mumms. Yeah. So my friends were boring as well,
not out of choice. Correct.
Not boring, unavailable for a
sash. We did all the thing, we still did breakfast.
We actually went, um, we went to,
for a meeting, an excited meeter actually
just, I was thinking, I had a session
another day, it was our, it was our sish.
Yeah, yeah. We went to, um, we had a meeting with Spotify, actually,
and it was in, we went to the West End and we went to
Lovely.
1841.
Coffee slash bar by the way.
So cool.
It's probably giving the similar vibes to probably what naked suit would offer.
You know what it's like you can go for coffee in the day or food and then you would have...
Before you know what you're drinking apple.
But you guys, a lot of you would have saw our story, you have like a bowl of crisps.
It was very Mediterranean vibes.
The perfect olives.
You can have gilder.
That's the perfect olive I've ever had, I think.
They were so gorgeous.
They were amazing.
Bread.
I had a Hugo Spritz.
You had an apparel spritz.
It was truly stunning.
We both caught the sun massively.
Do you know what I would say that reminds me of
when the sun's out, obviously not when it's not.
It's like sitting on a corner street and like Lisbon.
Correct. Big bifold doors opening, really cool people inside it.
You've got the lovely flats around in you.
Yeah, it was so cool.
Next to the Clarence where we're going tonight.
Next to the Clarence is 2 1841s or maybe three actually,
but it's the one in Highlands that we're talking about.
It was so nice.
Please don't make it absolutely rammed,
but you probably will now.
We've said it.
Another thing I need to shout out.
and I know we've said it loads
but CC Rooftop
I haven't stopped thinking about their palomas
and I've genuinely don't think I've ever will
It's so good
In fact I've been here since I was there
No
For the second time
No
Because the first time I went with the interior designers
And you went with those pre
awards
Yes so I spoke about both of them
I've never been out of Cece since
You're going for your 30th birthday
I'm going to my 30 birthday
and having a third birthday there.
And also I was there a couple weeks ago for their summer party.
So you were with your mom?
With my friend, Rosie, whose hend who was Bartholona.
Came and met me with her fiancé, because they were picking up their...
You said, with her.
Bartholona.
He said with, but like with an extra lisp.
I went to Bartholona with Rosie, with her.
I just love it, Bartholona.
Her and her fiancée came and met us because they were picking up their weddings.
Cute activity.
In Glasgow.
And I said...
activity if you're getting married
or you could just do it if you're not, fuck it.
And we had far too many
spicy margaritas.
Oh my God, well I know this story yeah
because you've told me but what the hell?
And I got the train home and I was sick down myself on the train.
Guys, like she was actually, she actually spewed down herself.
I spewed down the side of myself.
On ScotRail.
On ScotRail.
And I got off three stops early
and Jason had to come pick me up.
And what I'm going to tell you right now.
In fact, do you know what?
I'm actually doing myself dirty here.
I'm going to say I had four or five drinks max.
Right.
I don't think that's that many.
From like half five till half ten at night.
That's not that many drinks.
But we didn't really get a lot of food.
Yeah.
It was hot.
And they're strong there, you know.
I know.
I just, I don't know what was going on.
So it was sick down myself and Jason picked me up
and cookie was in the front
so he made,
he brought me my dressing gown
to put over my sick clothes
and made me sit in the back.
And do you know what?
I'm actually not blaming him for that.
But I'm going to tell you some.
He said,
one, why did you not just run to a toilet on the train?
Two, why did you not just stay on?
You were two stops away from being at home
and I live right next to the station.
So it's not a journey.
And what I will tell you right now is
not one of those thoughts was in my brain.
You're just like, I need to get off.
I just was like, I feel a bit sick.
I'll make myself sick when I got home
so that it's tactical, I sleep well
and before I knew I was being sick
that there was just no time for thoughts
had none.
Not a brain cell was active.
Wow.
So anyway, if you want a good time,
get yourself to see these.
So good there.
Anyway, we walked along on our session with Hannah
to the caravan shop
where they did an excellent
spicy margarita.
It was so sweet and beautiful.
With gorgeous drinks that day, we did.
We also had that shakotery board, didn't we?
That was really nice.
Three different types of cheeses we chose them off the list.
Well, I did, obviously.
You did, Dad. You were saying words I've never heard.
I was just reading off a menu, to be fair.
I was just sitting my drink like I'm in a fucking great thing.
That was nice.
That was a nice night.
How did they go after that?
And we didn't did, we stayed there.
We stayed there?
No, we walked into kitties.
But it was dead.
It was dead.
But it was a nice night.
fair enough because you're not going in there until later on probably.
Yeah.
But I have been out.
God.
Go on, girl.
I'm fine.
I'm continuing to go out.
You should.
You're 29 years of age, for fuck's sake.
It's the big year.
I'm making up for it because I probably went about six months without being drunk once.
Yeah.
I mean it doesn't necessarily mean you need to be drunk.
You just need to say yes to more things.
No, but I want to be.
I want to be tipsy.
We go into South of France for your birthday soon.
It's like eight weeks away.
I just want to feel loose.
Do you know what I mean?
A bit airy.
A bit like fluid.
Is it them new teeth?
It's a new teeth.
I'm smiling more I'm happy.
What have you been up to tell me?
I'll try and keep this brief then.
I've been to Norfolk.
I went down south.
Well, I went down to Leicester for eight days
whilst my kitchen started.
Coincided this with my best mate Holly
coming back from Australia so we got to see her.
Nice.
Gorgeous experience.
Um, we, all my friends got together.
We went down to Norfolk from Leicester.
We stayed in this amazing little Airbnb.
It's actually a girl that I knows Airbnb, but she rents it out.
So good.
It looks really nice.
Really kitted out for families as well.
It was perfect.
That was in a place called, hmm, was it docking or something like that?
Uh, probably like 10 minutes from the beach.
Not too far from Huntsd's dancing.
We didn't really go around there that much.
We haven't for fish and chips there one day because that's a little bit like
Black Bull.
But then there's just so many gorgeous pubs in Norfolk.
I don't know if you've ever been.
Never, but my mum's got a house.
Oh, so she has.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's so nice.
Yours moms is near Great Yarmouth, I'm sure.
I couldn't tell you.
Which is a little bit further down the coast.
Jensen was, basically my dad had Jensen for a night.
But three days, I was staying at my dad's,
but I was off going, seeing some friends and stuff and doing my own thing.
But then they took Jensen to Norfolk on the Saturday.
stayed there that night and then I went out for my holly's like reunion dinner and then we all went
we all then drove to norfolk i picked up jensen halfway near peterborough took him back to norfolk with
us and then we had two days then it was just lovely the weather was gorgeous it looked perfect um so that was
nice and then came back for a bit saw my family just enjoyed the sunshine to be honest
came back to or to chaos at the house as you can imagine guys someone told me that moving house is
most stressful thing, but they never warned me about renovations with a fucking toddler.
Yeah, difficult.
It's hard, but it's not terrible.
I guess because we do have the space, we've got the dining room that we can put in, like,
the microwave or we've got a downstairs toilet, which the builders can use, and I can, it's hilarious,
that little tiny sink on washing pots in there.
But, listen, worse things can happen.
It's fine.
You're washing pots and the sink in that toilet?
Yes.
Right, okay.
There's no water in the kitchen at all.
so the dishwasher can't be on.
Right.
And it's going to be like this until next Thursday.
So another week until I can get water coming through.
My tap's being fitted today but it won't be plugged in.
Right. It's not all going to be linked up.
Not yet.
Not yet. The work tops come in about, I would say, another week.
And then all the decorative stuff starts.
So upholstery, painting, panelling,
building the banquet, corner seating area.
then you've got to get all the little,
there's so many little things you've got to think about
because I am doing this with a kitchen company.
It's called Stuart Design and Build, by the way, if you're wondering.
It's quite a bespoke one, but it's great.
They work really closely with DeCrestone,
so it's been seamless, to be honest with you,
and their guys are brilliant.
And it's actually been done quicker than I thought.
This was probably one of the reasons why I did want to go with them
because it is so fast.
It seems as if it just popped up.
Yeah, it's brilliant.
I've got bespoke doors being made in Italy,
which because my ceiling height is so low
at one end of the kitchen,
annoyingly,
a standard door from like Howden's rent
or whatever wouldn't fit it
so any company would have had to have made them bespoke
that's taken a long time
and they said to me
that this is the first time I was done in a kitchen
that's not cream, grey or beige
so they're really looking forward to having a kitchen of colour.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was showing them all pictures
because I was doing lots on like chat GPT
and I was like this is how I wanted to look
this is my vision
and they were all like, wow, yeah, that's nice, that's different.
Because they're probably so used to having like real modernised kitchens,
which is nothing wrong with that.
It's just not my taste at all.
So I'm actually looking for kitchen handles that are like antique,
like antique brass, swan neck swing handles.
Like that's what I want.
I don't want the, they got, show me this brand.
Some of you guys that are into interiors will probably know.
It's called hendel and hendel.
And it's like an amazing brand of kitchen handles.
Great name.
But it's all really solid, real brass, thick.
like handles.
Poling.
Which are gorgeous.
Yeah.
It's just not what I'm after.
So I think I'm prolonging it as well because I'm like, no, I'll get this separately to this or this.
And they all love my vision, but I just, you know what I'm like?
I'm so indecisive.
But when I have my, when I have my sights on something, I have to have it that way.
There's no other way around it until I'll find a way to get that thing.
Yeah.
And I went into a salvage yard yesterday.
It's called Glasgow.
to go salvage to try and find myself tiles.
I tried to find handles, all sorts of things that I could maybe look to get.
They had everything but what I wanted.
Like they had all these things, but they weren't what I wanted.
So these most incredible, you're not going to fucking believe it.
And the guys there were great, by the way, near Paisley.
Okay?
So great.
And they had these tiles that were out beautiful.
They've been ripped out from 200 years ago.
They were ripped out recently, but from a 200-year-old Edinburgh townhouse.
And I was like, oh my fucking God, they're beautiful.
There was a lot that were smashed up, but there was a significant amount that were full.
And he was like, you're not going to believe this.
He's like, but we've had them sat here pre-COVID.
Six, seven years we've had them sat here.
And a guy is coming to collect them all this morning.
I was like, you're joking.
And this was like afternoon.
And he says, I said, well, the morning's past.
Can't you just tell him?
He's like, no, because he's already got.
half of the batch and you need 16 more.
And when we take these 16
away, you're left with the dregs.
You're going to have to start doing something creative
and puzzle piece these shit together.
And I only want them at the back of the auger,
so there was enough, but there just wasn't enough
to make it work.
They had every colour in this tile
that I want in my kitchen.
It was perfect.
So I'm fuming, but he took my details.
So he said, just in case he never turns up,
I'll let you know.
But yeah, there's just
so many things that I want that I can't have
and then I just prolong it and then before you know it
I'm having to be fucking am all
then I'm like right when can I next look and really
look and dive into finding exactly
what I want I've no get the patience for that shit
I know Zoe I know
but I love it though I do think this sort of stuff
just sets my soul on fire it does
it's strange
why would that be strange
no because it's just like no matter what the
no matter what the project is
yeah
like it's not you're not just like this with
interiors.
No.
Just anything
creative.
Or just anything
that's like
needed to be done.
Yeah.
That's like
I don't know
I can't explain.
Explain.
Just when you
they've got a project
you need to do
you can get so into
it.
Yeah.
Whereas I just
can't be harsh when
like that.
Like you can spend
like looking for hotels
you will spend hours.
Yeah correct.
I spend one hour
and I'm drawing for a week.
If I'm doing an idea
It has to be exactly what I want.
But I'm not a perfectionist though.
I am in some ways of my life, absolutely.
But I'm not a perfectionist.
Like I will 100% enjoy to go with the flow if I'm away.
Or I'm maybe quite impulsive is what I'm trying to say.
Like I'm impulsive in some ways of my life, which isn't perfectionism.
That's somebody saying yes to something.
Yeah.
But then I am when I want something that's going to be mine or I've made it a project or interiors, holidays, whatever it is.
Let's say it's a treatment for myself,
like whether that's a beauty treatment,
aesthetic treatment,
I will make sure I go to the best person,
my hair done, the best person,
teeth, the best,
I will travel the end of the earth
to go to the best,
or the best.
I will have you if someone tells me to.
And I think that's probably why people
enjoy my recommendations
because I put my fucking heart and soul into it.
I can't be arsh looking,
but I would like you to tell me.
Yeah, exactly.
Product recommendations.
Go to the best, use the best, buy the best.
So you need to just ask.
the best.
Yes.
And I'm not, I'm not doing it myself.
But what I will say is I am my own
worst enemy when it comes and stuff like that
though because it becomes my personality
and it wrecks my head.
And then it's almost like I'm just not making
a decision. So they're chasing me nonstop.
Like have you pick your handles yet? I'm like, I haven't
picked my handles yet because you're rushing.
They're not rushing me but I'm feeling rushed.
I'm feeling the pressure.
And I haven't picked the one
I'm exactly one.
Do they exist?
Fuck no, Zoe.
Yeah, they do.
Do you know another thing that's pissing me off?
And anyone that, like I say, is into interiors will appreciate this.
Antique brass is different antique brass to whatever you're looking at.
So I've got an antique brass tap and you've got an antique brass pulley handles, right?
Or anything, like any sort of feature things in your kitchen, every single company's version of an antique brass thing or plug sockets are completely different.
The shade of gold is so different
And that just that really fucks me off
I can't go in and have all different shades of gold
It can't happen
But the company don't do
The three different products for each thing
You go to a socket company
Go to a tap company
And you go to a kitchen handle company
So
That's where you lose me
Because I've tried to do that
And then I'm lost because I'm like
I'm fed up
Whereas you'll make it work
Oh I have to make it work
Because I'm being forced to
And they said to me
They're like you need to do
You need to go.
You have to go and get yourself some sockets.
And I'm like, oh my God.
So I've gone to Screw Fix and they've obviously got two options.
One's like polished gold and one's antique brass.
I'm like, but what happens if that doesn't match my tap?
Then my head's wrecked.
No.
Anyway, kind of boring chat, but I fucking love it.
So that's my personality this week.
The Catching.
Correct.
You are the catching.
I went to Hamilton races.
That was really nice.
Went to the family day.
Lovely.
Great.
Got invited in, we went and sat in the box,
and we had a lovely three-course dinner,
which was a view of the actual race course.
We only had time to watch one race,
so because it was bedtime.
Perfect if your kids are a little bit older.
But what I really loved about the Hamilton Family Day
was that every single activity was free.
So they had loads of stuff on for kids.
So you buy your jacket and everything else comes free?
Every single activity, ride, bouncy castle, face painting,
you name it, was all included.
Obviously there was food trucks and stuff
You would buy additional stuff
You'd get his face painted
No
Would you do that?
Yeah
Some parents are funny with that
Are they?
Well because their kids' skin might be sensitive though
Yeah
I think it's or in case that happens
Yeah
That's true imagine
Oh my God
Had my Botox done with Fiona
Incredible
We've got a little bit lighter this time
Just around the tops of my forehead
What I used to have
When I used to go to Zara
And what Fiona said I originally had
I don't love it
I have it in the middle of my forehead. I feel like it's quite heavy on me and it makes me feel
a little bit tense. But when I went for my massage at Glen Eagles and I told you I had all that
fucking gwasher, she said that my massata muscles, and I've always known this as I can tell
because I've got severe cuteness aggression are huge, right? She was like, you really should
gwash her that muscle that's really grisily. So anyway, I repeated that information to Fiona.
She wouldn't let me have a feel. I kid you not. She almost bounced away from the chair and was
like, yes, what the hell, especially this side.
Right.
I was like, honestly, Fiona, I reckon, I know I ground my teeth.
I go, I mean, so bad.
But she said, you know, since I've had Jensen and I've got the bloody cats, the cuteness
aggression for me is so bad that I feel myself gritting down every time I look at him.
When I look at Jensen, I want to rip him apart because he's that cute.
Do you know what I mean?
And I get it so bad that all day I think my jaw is just tense.
Yeah.
along with life stresses as well and then teeth grinding.
So she did suggest that I could look into massacobotox,
which would help relieve that.
You know that I've always had tension down to my neck and my shoulder,
which definitely will lead to that.
But there's just a few things that you have to consider.
And some people on TikTok have like wonky smiles and that
because it's quite close to this area.
Right, okay.
She said my muscles far back and it should be fine,
but I just personally don't want to risk that.
I trust going to Fiona however
I was thinking of getting that done
really I've not thought about any of those things you just said
but a lot of people see this is why you need me in your life
soie a lot of people have said that
they do it for aesthetic purposes as well to slim the face
I don't need that I could honestly
claw your eyes out with my chin and pointy face
I don't know that I've got a slim face but I've got a really
you've got a proper like jaw so what would that do
it would define you
You'd be more long.
Maybe I need that actually quite square.
Yeah, but that's your jaw definition though. That's nice.
Do you know what's funny? I've never thought about the fact that maybe that,
because I get that pull up my neck all the time.
Could be?
Maybe it's related to the jaw.
Could be.
The clenching because I noticed myself just literally sitting
just typing or watching TV or something.
I was grinding my teeth that whole time.
Yeah.
Or not grinding, but.
clenching them together.
I notice it all the time.
Have you ever seen that thing
when you're scrolling on your phone
it's just someone saying
relax your jaw?
Because you're honestly like that
or put your tongue
off the roof of your mouth
and just relax your jaw.
I've been noticing it a lot recently
because it feels different obviously
like I was saying because of the teeth.
Because of the teeth.
So I'm really noticing
I'm like I've just sat
and been pushing them together
which is so bad because it's going to ruin them.
Maybe you should go to speak to Fiona then
and have a look at that.
It's good.
if you've got a retainer to wait at night, but you're in a date.
That's fuck all you can do about it.
A lot of people have that traptocks as well, where they have it in the traps.
I would honestly love that.
I am extremely, I'm a prawn.
I'd love to be able to relax my shoulders.
However, I have heard that it's not good for people that lift weights.
Oh, yeah, okay.
So I don't want to, again, I don't want to risk that.
Yeah, overhead stuff.
I can't do that.
to lose that sensation.
Yeah, same.
I don't like that.
I don't like losing sensations.
But I will look into that.
So anyone listening
that hasn't had Massa to Botox
for those purposes.
I'm not talking about aesthetics reasons
but fair fucks if you absolutely do.
Let me know if it's change your life
and tell me how it feels.
Because you know what people say
if you have lip flip,
you can't suck a willy or suck a straw?
Yeah, I know.
That's weird, isn't it?
I'd like a lip-lipped.
Would you?
Yeah.
Because from the side I have no lips from the front I do.
I think that would help that.
We'll never do it.
A lip flip basically is Botox that goes up here that stops the...
You know when you smile, it stops the lip curling under.
Yeah.
I have a gummy smile but I do think I like it
because I think it makes me look younger than what I am.
Yeah, it probably does.
Gummy smiles do make you look young.
I just think I'm too scared to get into my lips.
I've spoke about it my whole life.
Yeah.
I've been an adult.
I'm going to get letfiller.
Never done it.
Yeah.
You don't need lip filler.
No one needs lip filler, but...
A wee boost is always nice, I think.
When I was with Johnny,
my dentist yesterday,
basically I stupidly bit down
on a glass straw
and slightly tip my two.
So I went for that
and also to ask him
what I can do about my
never-ending
invisible line journey.
I was like,
I just either want these off or can I just get a new retainer.
Can't go through it again.
I just, I know.
Yeah, I've always had these on.
I think I forget they have there.
You don't see them.
Do you not?
But I said obviously like this fang does bother me and I paid all that money like I would
like to get it sorted.
He was like, look, you've already used up your two extra trays with Envisaline.
So we can't do that.
However, we can look at another option, a different company called Shaw Smile.
So it's a bit like you go into fucking, you say and you have shellac.
but you've got gel bottle and you've got
whatever, yeah?
But everyone just knows it as Invisal.
It's the actual brand.
Yep.
It's apparently a lot cheaper
and the catch with this is,
well not the catch,
but the difference is you can pay per aliner
with Invisaline,
it's like a minimum 750 quid or thousand pound or something
for X amount of retainers.
With, you know then you have to have more and more.
Right, okay.
But with Shaw Smile,
you can just pay per retainer.
Right.
Right?
So it's a lot, a lot, lot.
cheaper. So it will potentially cost me because I only need six. It's only going to cost me a
couple of hundred quid to get them done and it's the exact same thing. So that's a good option for you to
look at is go to someone that is that would do Shaw Smile because not all dentists do it. And they still do
that through him though? Yes, it's through Johnny. Isn't sure smile the one that's on the adverts
and that? I have no idea. He can send pitch your teeth on. He said he prefers using that now. He said he
actually thinks that get better results from it. There you go. So Johnny is a private.
He's a private dentist, but he is with the NHS, but he is based at Udington Dentists and another place somewhere in the West End, I think.
So have a look at him online.
That's a nice tip for you if anyone thinking about it, that, because it's so expensive and so many people would love braces.
I said to him, can I have a train track?
Please just give me a train track.
Obviously, I don't want that, but I would prefer to just finish it.
I'm just not an invisible girl.
It's not, I'm not that type of personality.
Are you just going to try to be definite with your smile?
He just said
the cost of you getting a train track
because I want to have to send you to someone else
then it's going to cost you the same amount of money
so just go with this
and stick on it
because you're paying twice essentially
just fucking stick at it Jess
day one of this podcast ever started
I'd started that journey
I'm going to be on at you for that
and it honestly
is that as soon as that dog mangled up that brace
he went downhill for me
the dog ate my homework
honestly it did
that's it
nobody did
right
Let's do a couple emails.
World Cup is the World Cup
doing anyone else he's heading.
I was all for supporting Scotland.
I loved the buzz around the place,
but they're out now and my husband is still obsessed.
Scotland played their middle of the night games.
I told them to go to stay at his mum's
as we have a four-year-old who will wake up at 6.30,
regardless of what time to go to bed.
So I thought I was being a nice wife.
Fast forward to last night,
he stayed up until 2 a.m. watching the Argentina game.
It might be the last time I ever seen Messy play, is what he said.
And has had to be parent today
and has been really crabbit as I would be
if I stayed up until them.
He's now informed me there's a game next Saturday
that won't finish until 4 a.m.
And it might just stay his mum's,
and it's really starting to piss me off.
Okay, then, you go stay up all night, your mum's.
Meanwhile, I'll get up at 6th, 30 and entertain our whirlwind
until you wake up and make it home.
He keeps saying the World Cup is only on every four years,
which yes, I get, but my argument is if I go on night out with the girls,
I either organise childcare or just get up in the morning,
you're on with things,
or not, just needed that.
Maybe I'm overreacting, but somehow the bad guy
in this situation for mourning about it,
that would piss me off.
Yeah, I definitely understand.
I think it's a fucking football game.
I know. I do understand both sides, though, because,
listen, in his defence,
it's not his fault that the time difference
it's in America, and
if that's your big passion
and you really love football, of course
you're going to want to watch the World Cup.
Like, it's huge.
I'm getting an impression that's not.
He's big passion, though, or else you probably would
understand you know what I mean I think he's like got into the buzz of it yeah but that's fair
and they've never had to experience it because they didn't have a kid to the last time but in her
defence like as women as a default parent you do just get up and crack on with it yeah you just need to
go on with you don't ever automatically think that everything's going to be okay like I feel like
with majority of guys they almost just willy-neely go off and do whatever they want and they
think that they can't handle being a parent over the next day so you're
need you look after.
But we just get on with it.
Exactly.
So I think you're very, very valid to have a bit of a rant.
Yeah, I think your rant is absolutely acceptable.
But listen, it's going to be over in a few days.
I reckon you could try and wangle it and be like, right, one nil to you.
What can I have?
Yeah.
You've had your endless midnight games.
I'm out going to my party girl era with the girlies.
and I'm fucking staying at my mum's
do it. Yeah, I think
so. I think
you let them because you only do
the thing that you enjoy. Yeah, sure.
But it's definitely about
maybe you just need to realise that
he can watch the game absolutely
but it doesn't mean he can then state his mum's until
like 1pm and have a long lie
because he still got a kid at home.
Also, why don't you just...
I know people are going to be like, no.
But why don't you just not have to watch it live
and just don't look at your phone and then watch it the next
morning. I just don't think as a guy
it's not the same buzz. But I'm sorry you've got
responsibilities. No I know. I think that's
why she's got frustrations because it's like
tough tits essentially.
Do you know what I mean?
Like we will watch Love Island
on repeat.
If we can't watch it the night before.
Love Love Island.
Are you loving it?
It's nearly done surely.
I might like me doing another one.
I need that guy though to stop wearing them glasses.
The one that everyone loves. They look
terrible on in them.
It looked like he's a bit of a joke.
I fucking love him and I have no words said about him.
I love the look of him but then glasses do not suit him at all.
No.
They're big glasses.
Yeah, they're not a bit of him then.
He needs to go and get some like gold rim dark things to suit him better.
They're too like girly.
I think they're quite sexy.
Do you?
I just think he's sexy.
He can do no wrong.
I don't watch it so I genuinely
don't see the attraction
but I think you have to get to know somebody's personality
to understand his sexiness
because he's so fucking unbothered
Is he? Is he got a girlfriend?
Like is he actually found love on Love Island?
Yeah but he's in there for a good thing
Is he? Yeah and everyone loves him for it
Do they? Yeah
If I was in there I would be obsessed with him
I can't believe more of them
But there's no one else not obsessed with him
The one he's with yeah but not even really
She's Polish and pure nonchalant as well
They're a great match though
Do they like each other?
Yeah, I think so, but who knows.
He doesn't need to like anyone, he can win it himself.
If he could, he would.
Need to make that happen.
So with a Scottish girl, but she's fucked it,
and I have a feeling she's walking out tonight.
She's gorgeous.
Scottish girl?
Yes.
Ely.
Her lips are beautiful.
Her lips?
Yes.
She's got the most beautiful lips ever.
She's got a nice smile.
I mean, I'm only watching clips, but she's a sling.
I love the rant that she had when
I don't know who she's with.
Family don't like him.
We don't like Finn, do we not?
Okay.
Whoever she was going up to the girl's room
and she was ranting and screaming about him.
She does that a lot.
And it was just so Scottish.
Yeah, she does that.
Every other word was fucking this and fucking that.
Everyone loves her.
Everyone loves her for it.
My mom keeps saying it's like the Truman show.
Why?
And she's Truman.
Because everyone's just rooting for her.
Everyone wants her to do well.
Not just Scottish people.
Everyone just loves Ellie.
She was a favorite girl in that.
Why don't she get with Lorenzo?
No, they're just pals.
Oh, that's a shame.
Yeah, I know it is, because Finn's fucked it.
Right, the subject, I hate when my mother-in-law helps clean.
We were talking about that.
I need to comment on this in-law cleaning topic.
Background is, my partner has pretty much had everything done for them their whole life,
and I'm polar opposite, bringing myself up from a teenager sort of vibe.
We've recently bought a house together, and when my mother-in-law comes over and tries to clean,
it dries me up the wall.
My partner would sit back and let her do everything
But I can't take it
Get out of my own sweet please
That's her private bathroom
And if I want to leave my toothbrush out
Then I absolutely will
My final straw was when I came home from work
And she was in and cleaned the main bathroom
And then told me don't use that bathroom
I just cleaned it
And my own house
I just about fell down the stairs
Since then I've made it bloody clear
She's not to clean when she comes over
And she can just chill
I know she just wants to help
But I'm eyeing the wrong for having that boundary
Don't clean. I've just, no, don't use that bathroom. I've just cleaned it.
I would be this girl. I just don't want someone cleaning my house. I just don't.
Yeah. I'm fine if you want to, like, say I was in the situation of having a young, a baby or newborn, young kid or whatever. Yeah, and you wanted to say, I'll do some washing.
Don't stop doing that iron. You go get a shower, whatever, I'll do it. I'm okay with that, but I don't want you cleaning my bathroom.
Yeah.
or like an onsuit or something
where
all your stuff is
I don't imagine I would leave any mess behind
in terms of like in the toilet or anything
but what if you just
were in a rush and you ran out
and yeah your toothbrush is lying out
or you forgot to flush
I just don't want you in there
and also just passing comments
and judgment as well on how you live
and also in your bathroom or maybe
your bedside or on your bedside
what have you been frisky the night before
and you've got a wee something lying there
or you maybe forgot that you flung your pants off
Like just stuff like that
I find that so uncomfortable
I also find it a little bit
uncomfortable knowing that
if somebody does you wash it for you
like if my
yeah
hate it
and I'm like you actually have to sift through my dirty pants
and put them
in the wash
no I wouldn't allow that
that wouldn't happen to me
what was if you leave the house
and they've done the washing for you
that's just not happening
I would be saying
don't touch any washing
I just wouldn't
yeah it's just a conversation
that I think would be had if I felt that was going to happen
because sometimes we'll take our wet washing
up to Jason's mum's to hang out the back if it's sunny
to get it done quicker
and if we do that and it's me that's doing it
I take my pants out.
Yeah and just put that on your radiator or something.
Yeah, or I don't put them in the wash
I'll put them in when I'm doing the next wash.
And I think it happened one time before I think
I don't even know if it was when we'd moved out
I think Jason took some washing up
because he'd been away and he'll take it up
and use her washing machine
so that we can get it done if we're on holiday
whatever it might be
and I remember I'd came on my period
and he'd just flung it all in
and I was mortified
and obviously Lorraine was like
I've got a daughter
I don't get the fuck like do not worry about it
yeah we're all women here
they don't care but I care
it's not about them caring it's me caring
yeah of course and I get that
it just feels so too close to home
Yeah, I get that.
I wouldn't even want my own mum doing it, by the way.
Same.
All of this, I don't want my mum or my mother.
Just anyone.
Yeah.
I don't want you to think I'm dirty.
You wouldn't know.
Or do you think my house is dirty?
I just see, like, my mum and parents and all that as guests in my house.
But in a nice way.
Yeah.
I don't want you doing things.
Yeah.
But it does depend how you've been brought up, though.
Of course.
No, I don't like that.
I don't like it.
