Happy Tuesday. How are we? Happy Tuesday. Another week of us in your looks. Summer's here, baby. Have you all bought your Ollie bobs? Holly bobs are hard, by the way, because of this fuel pricing thing. I know, by the way.

Hopefully that goes down soon. Flights are all that expensive way. As you're listening to this, I'm currently on my holidays. You are. You are. Chilling, relaxing. No, I feel like you'll be patting. Isn't this grease?

No. Well, this one. be coming out when I'm in basketball? No, this is. You're right. You're relaxing. I'm going to be relaxing kids with my dad. Yeah. I'm in an all-inclusive hotel in Zachimthos. I can't wait to tell you what my thoughts are on this. I'm excited for your thoughts on an all-inclusive. I'm worried that I won't be able to experience like the full shebang though for only three nights, four days. Hmm. It's quite a short trip for me that. No, I think you'll get the vibes of the all-inclusive in that time. I think you can spot an all-inclusive good or bad from the

minute you walk in. I'm really hoping that my dad will let me leave the hotel and at least go for dinner one night. Do you know what I mean? Like if it's all inclusive, is he thinking, right, we've paid for this, so we're staying in? No, I think you can make those decisions

at this right page. And I want to go on a boat trip. I've heard it's the most beautiful island. So I want to go on some sort of excursion. But you could do that after lunch before dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could still get your meals in at the hotel. Because the hotel's got a water park near it,

sure. So who knows. I'm sure me and my sister will be like, come on, let's go and explore a bit. They are quite good like that. Like my stepmom does not like sitting in the sun. As you said, she doesn't, she doesn't like sunbathing. Right. So. I was listening back to that thinking, you love sunbathing. Yeah. As in me. And I do love it. It's just more like it's quite hard going. Especially if it's really hot. Yeah, like when you get that hot and bothered way and you're like flinging yourself in the pool to cool down and you just have moments. of no one's making you lying 40 degrees heat, like sitting the shade from it. Yeah.

Whereas I'm quite like, I don't need no shade. Whereas I just need to find the balance. I do think though now I'm way more protective of my face though in the sun because of my sun moustache that I get and just all the work I'm doing with Emerit Project Skin. Like I'm not going to reverse all the damage that I'm trying to kill right now. I can't tell you how flabbergasted am in summer lives are facing the sun. It's so bad for you guys. Like I do.

Even your skin though in chest like. No, I know it's not just your face. But I remember, I think it was even Australia and Molly let she lay with her face in the sun for like two minutes and I was like, why have you not get a hat over your face? She was like, I want the sun on my face. I was like, no, you don't. Like if I'm lying, if I'm sitting up the hats on,

if I'm lying flat, the hat is over my face. Like the caps on my face. Interesting. I can't lie in my face the sun at all. It's weird because I do love the feeling of the sun on my face though because you don't get it much. So I'm like, oh my God, instant vitamin D. Yeah.

It's more for me, it's like aging, skin damage, that I'm just trying so hard to just reverse. So anyway, I'm going on like, it's really fucking bad. It's really not. I don't know if I led a handbag for a face, but maybe I will. I was just going to say, I don't think you've got aging and sun damage. I know, but it would at this age now where the college in production is not at its all-time high, sis. I know.

I think it's fine. See if you get a factor 50 on and you're, it's not the height of summer. You can maybe enjoy that for, you know, a wee 10 minutes, then you can get the cap on. Honestly, now though, you know, with Jensen. and now he's up and out and active. The amount I'm going to have to reapply sunscreen. I'm not really had to do that before because he was covered up or he was in the shade on these holidays.

Or on him, I know, by the way. It's like you're in a sunshade, you're under the umbrella. Also, you couldn't really use sunscreen before there were six months. No. But now, what's that going to be like for me? Ah! I'll let you all know. You'll need that full long, long thing on.

Yeah, the long swimsuit with the hat. I've got one of them actually. I've got a couple of them. But somebody wrote in the Patreon chat, to me yesterday, like, I'm going on my first holiday with my baby who's like seven and a half months. I'm overwhelmed what the fuck do I take. Like, guys, I took everything but the kitchen sink on my first holiday. It was ridiculous. I love that sin. Diculous. But genuinely, I think I used every single thing. The one thing I didn't use, which other people did love, was like

those silly little floats with like the shades that the kids lying. He hated that. Yeah. And obviously you blow it up once you get there. But I think this time, He's been on a plane now. Eight times, not eight trips, four trips, but eight. Spoiled little boy. Eight plane journeys he's been on. Eila, London, Greece and Palmer. He's loving it.

He's a traveller. What I'm thinking is now that I'm going to be surely an expert now at this point when I'm going back to Greece, I really hope that I can pack light. Said no one fucking Canada. Good luck with that. I actually said to Jason, I think it was, in Portugal, I said, do you know what it is about me? People want to go on holidays and they're fine to do without for a week.

I don't want to do without. I don't want to do without. I don't want to do without. Every single curling, wand and tongue in my drawer that I probably not use for a year. I need them as options. I want that crimper. That's exactly how I do. That crimper.

Bring the fucking crumper back. I might want that. I might want to do some space bun. is in crimping one night. In I beep it's hilarious the amount of shit you take. It's like, I like beads in that

your face. I just, like it's the full toiletries for me. Yeah. Like I don't want to have to not take my morning and night moisturiser and I don't even use

that many products I feel like. But it's the just in case. But it's the just in case and it's also I don't work hard at my skin care as you said hair care things like that

to not take them. Yeah. For a week. Do you know what really pisses me off though when we go on holiday and one airport has one rule for liquids and then the one away back hasn't quite got up to speed with 2026. That happened to us in Ireland. That happened to us in Ireland. It was like going back to the 50s, right? That wasn't the worst because we didn't have much. We were there for two nights. I know but how is that fair though? What is the point of

having the rule one way and then the way back? Like what a waste of shit? Most of Europe still doesn't have it. Meared ahead of times. What's the point now? I know but the packing thing is difficult. I I really am overweight every single time. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. What I'm going to tell you right now is when we went on that London trip, I chance it every time right. BA, I only really like to fly with like Jet 2

if it's a European trip because they are hands down the best. I'm talking now I've got a baby. I don't give a shit before. And BA on this one because I know I can't pack light and with BA London trip I didn't get a check. I didn't put a hold case in here. And I took my wheelie case. Yeah.

Then I took a holder, but a holder to the size of my wheelie case. Yep. My handbag, Jensen's changing bag. Richard's also got a wheelie case and a box like, did, Anna Pram, didn't flinch. Where was all Jans and stuff? In my case. In the holder, sorry. Right.

Right. So you're telling me that if I went on Ryanair and EasyJet, they would have been like, get it in there. Can you squeeze it in? So I sometimes do think, like paying that little bit extra, it wasn't even that much. I'm talking like 30 quid. Yeah. To go with a,

BA, they don't eat, they're so good with you. They are so more lenient and that sort of shit. Yeah, they are. Ryanair, they charge you if you don't check in online. They make you shove your shit, stressed out you're not in that tiny little thing. It's just like, fuck off. And you have to stare at that awful yellow seat the whole journey. I just got Mary, I'm sorry.

I sent you a picture that when I was on at the way back to Portugal, just to remind you. It's the fair, but. They did, when we were coming back from Portugal, it was Ryanair. So we had like a wheelie case each. And then you obviously have an under the bag. So you paid for the wheelie, you get the under the seat, sorry. And at that point in time, over my wheelie case,

I had like my tote bag, which was for under the seat. But then I had like my wee handbag also hooked over my case. Yeah. And Jason wandered through. No, I also had his Nike bag on my case. We're both sitting on my case because he just had another crossbody. and the guy, he was quite like a flamboyant funny guy and he gave me the eyes

and then he let me through but we didn't have too much I just had to put my handbag in my tote bag which I hadn't done yet so technically I had three bags but actually I could make it too it's like why does it fucking matter why does it fucking matter when you're allowed

to get a shopping bag in the airport yeah but also I can make that two bags I can put my wee bag in my bigger bag and then you don't care why don't matter if it's outside it it's still going under the seat in front and then he ran after me shut up

but I know when he gave me the eyes I said oh that's his yeah like because Jason's wheelie case hasn't stirred out you like sit a bag on you get what I mean by that

like on the top bit so I add it both and I said I told you that's his and he was like no it's because you've got that handbag and I was like yeah but I'm just going to put that in the tote bag and he was like I know that

but my colleague has made me come and check you for it and I was like okay shut this is what I mean I fucking out of the hair on it was a tiny wee like shoulder bag I'm talking. That just needs to go

in the tote bag. Also, Ryanair ain't cheap. I don't care what anyone says. There isn't any cheap airline now. It's 15 pound for a flight to Dublin, right? 80 quids to add you flipping little hold on. Are you joking? I know.

And 15 for a seat. It's a scam. You have to pay for your seat? Yeah, if you want. Pay for like, what is it called? Early checking. It's absolute nonsense. It's redonculus.

It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Anyway, on this week's episode, we're going to talk about crazy exes. Are you a crazy exes? Do you have a crazy ex? I'm excited for this. We also got a swingers related message.

We did. Off the back of last week. So let's start with that. Let's do it. A few years ago, me and my boyfriend were on holiday. We got talking to a couple from Denmark, similar age to us and similar interests. I got a tattoo of a pineapple a few years prior

while on holiday for some random reason. We started to spend time during the day with this couple around the pool, drinking, etc. I noticed he also had a pineapple tattoo and he pointed mine out. I knew that the swinger code was an upside down pineapple as people always commented on my tattoo

but mine is the right way up. Plus I didn't know this at the time otherwise I wouldn't have got it. Anyway, a few days gone and we are still hanging out with this couple. The guy invited us to drinks on their balcony one night but given the pineapple tattoo we politely declined.

Three years on we are still friends with them and they have even travelled to visit us. Last year we went on a road trip round Scotland with them to show off our beautiful country. And one night, we last minute booked a different hotel and we all had to share a room. Shut up. My boyfriend was nervous about this

because we didn't know if they were swingers and obviously we aren't. We had some drinks and got very drunk. I was getting more nervous about going up to the room as the night went on. My boyfriend then took the reins and just outright asked them at the table, are you guys swingers?

The look of horror, on their faces. They burst out laughing and looked at each other, told us no and also said they were worried about it too. Thank fuck but it was funny to see the reaction. We are all still the best of friends and talk most days. They are planning to come to our wedding this year so it's so nice we all kept in touch. That is so funny. I didn't know that about a pineapple. I didn't. I'm glad you told me that though. I knew it about pampas grass. What do you mean? If you had that outside your house. Pampas grass and your windows apparently means that you're a swinger. Really? But I remember something about um...

Because you know how Pampas Gras had a moment recently? Yeah. I say recently, good few years ago. Yeah. Those people were saying that. Never heard the pineapple thing. And that's hilarious you thought it, but also they thought it. Yeah.

And neither of you were. That makes me wonder what other signs there is for things that you don't know about. Do you know what I mean? Like you've got the evil eye on your arm. What if that means something we don't know about? People are looking at you thinking... It's to protect me from negative people.

Negative energy. But maybe people see it as being... A lesbian? They could be right. Maybe. Don't lesbians... Isn't there something... Isn't something with rings on fingers or something?

A ring on a pinky finger? Really? There's something. See, this is what I mean. Or is it a dangly earring? There's not a lot of things like that that I'm aware of and I wonder... What's the thing with the key ring? There's something like a...

A little hook thing. Where did I see that? There is. No, there's a necklace thing. It's like a clasp. Is two wee things on a necklace not mean that you are anxious or something like that? Haven't, isn't there something that if you've tried to take your own life? What?

A necklace signifies that. Oh God, that's sad. I'm sure it's something like that. Someone tell me what I'm talking about because I'm sure there's something like that. Let me just quickly ask chat GBT. Right. So, Gavin you know, it's fair choice. Okay, so we've just asked.

And, I mean, these probably aren't all that true, but it's saying here that swingers, non-monogamy signals, signals, these are much less standardized and are often debated, but a black ring on the right hand sometimes associated with swinging, upside down pineapple, a kind of inside joke symbol in some swinger spaces, and an infinity heart symbol sometimes used in these communities. Yeah. Interesting. And like LGBTQ plus community is more like rainbow flags,

Pride flags, pink triangles, jewelry pins, phone cases that signalise that. There's loads of things, but let us know if there's anything in your sort of community space or whatever. Yeah, that signifies something. Yeah, signifies something special to you or you want to let people know little something, something. Yeah, interesting. Because I want to know.

Upside down Panopal though, I'm glad that I know I've known that now. Because imagine getting close to a drunk couple and you're like, whoa. Like I wouldn't have had a clue. I would have went why is it upside down? Yeah. And I'd be like,

because that's how I'm having you later on, sis. Wow. Wow. Wow. So one of my friends this is like a live event by the way yeah like really this has happened just before we're about to press record

like literally 20 minutes ago is in Madrid at the moment with other friends obviously not as important anyway she said there's a man sat in this barboring and he's walked away to go on to the phone and as he's walking back in

he's slipped this to her friend on the table and it's a little card saying text me if you dare and then the number but it's a very like it's a very perfectly cut out

perfectly cut out card she then said he sat with his wife what a dog then said it gets worse we flipped the card over and the card says on the other side can't take my eyes off you stunning married but always up to have fun

and discretion so at first I'm thinking what a fucking prick and then we've came with the conclusion maybe it's maybe they're swingers or maybe it's a bit of a kink it is a kink

because that's a perfectly cut card for one it's quite nice handwriting for two and it's risky because she's sat right there and you turn around and be like what the fuck because she said that her friend was going to hand it back to the wife on the way out to basically fuck them over when they thought it was just the number

but now I think it must be a thing and they probably got ten of those cards in their pockets yeah totally or it could be some sort of big massive scam or something that they're about to go get robbed or you don't know. True. I think that's a bit scary though. Where are they? Madrid?

Mm-hmm. I'd be careful with that. I mean, it's not a UK number so they're obviously from there or elsewhere. Interesting. Prouling on innocent tourists. Exactly that. Right, so we are going to talk about crazy ex-stories. I'm excited about this.

We have three emails about this and about a million flipping messages on Instagram. Let's go. Let's start with emails. This is a long one, please. Keep me anonymous because I'm embarrassed. So not actually an ex, just a boy I was seeing for too long. After a couple months, I got a bit fed up of no dates and being used, so said I'd had enough, and we were done.

He then flipped completely and wanted to do this, that, a million dates, etc, etc. But by that point, I was well done and just wanted clear, as he really gave me the ick. He then started to bank transfer me pennies with the reference as, unblock me. I didn't obviously. Then I started to get texts from an anonymous texting service asking me to unblock him and all this other crap which I ignored. Then the weirdo got a whole new SIM card to text me from of skimp from paying to use an anonymous tech service. I ignored all of this and then when I was out one night he called me from the new SIM and I answered when I was steaming in a taxi home and it was a total screaming match. He said he was coming to my door. I said I'd call my

dad if he came near my flat, to which he said, your dad is a bold con. I met by the way, but he is... They never met by the way, but he is bold. Sorry, Dad. The tax driver said he'll wait outside until a new job came in to make sure I was all right. That's nice. He never showed up, though, thankfully. Then, the next day after I blocked the news sim number,

he made multiple Twitter accounts to message me from saying he was sorry and he really hoped I could give him a chance to explain himself. He said he'd be at Costa Bishop Briggs next to him. Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Anyway, and that I should stop by. He was from Mary Hill, so unsure why he'd be there, but it was a decent coster, to be fair. I obviously never showed, and I got another message to say, I knew you wouldn't turn up. For my own sanity, I hope he didn't go there, but who knows? Months past, I'm in a new relationship, and I bump into the weirdo while I'm out with my pal. It completely kicks off, and unfortunately for me, my boyfriend is at a rave in Newcastle,

so no help from him. But luckily, a group of boys. I went to school were also out and they had to step in wondering what the fuck was going on, as he was genuinely nuts. This then caused my boyfriend to get involved the next day, and I haven't heard from him since, thankfully. Just said, I've ruined his laser eye surgery, he'd spent ages saving for, because he couldn't stop crying after I ended it, the first son. Oh, then she just sent me loads of screenshots from the messages, but lo, well, weird. No, that is hilarious.

Oh, fuck it out. This one's got a name. Crazy girl in the red Cleo. Hi both. Listening to the pod and Tuesday took me back to time of life when I was crazy as hell, young and in love. I was 17 and was seen a guy five years older than me. The red flags were there from the get-go,

but I was absolutely obsessed. He was unfortunately a serial cheater who was still very much seen his ex and would block my number nights out so I couldn't contact him. He would stay out for days or tell me he would be home and not. turn up. This is where the Red Cleo comes in. Me

and my friends would regularly go out driving in my car to try and find him. It was a running joke. There was a few times where I would actually find him walking about the street or I would drive past the pubs I thought it would be him. I was genuinely unwell looking back now but what a laugh at the time. One time I drove past his house

and his ex his car was outside. So I went and picked up my friends. We hopped in the Red Cleo and they sat in the car waiting for me as I went and tapped on the door. His dad wouldn't let me in. but I wedged my og boot in so you couldn't shut the door in my face. I was that upset my friend had to drive my car and she didn't even have a license.

It got to a point where my mum and dad really, really, really didn't want me seen this guy. So my dad threatened to take my car off me if I didn't stop. The only reason I get caught seeing him was because I got a bus lane fine which was sent to my dad's address and it was my BF driving the car. So my dad was then en route to take the car away

but I'd actually crashed it against some walls the week before and there was big scratches on either side. I was shouting at my mum crying, saying I was worried about him noticing them. So I ran outside and started using red lipstick to cover them up. Safe to say my dad noticed right away. My family still, to this day, remind me of that moment. I eventually got the car back, but long story short,

I continued to go out with this guy for seven years. What? And to know, I wasn't that crazy for the whole seven. Me and my friends look back on those crazy times and laugh her heads off. As much as I was crazy, there was some hilarious memories. I will never forget that car and the support he gave me and my crazy girl, I know. She's attached a picture of the car.

Those Clios. Crazy girl and the red Clio. I love that. Oh, that was my first car as well. Craziest and pettiest thing my ex done was when I dumped him, he gave me a bag of belongings, which I thought fair, most will be mine, entered the bag to find presents that I bought him and cards for occasions. He even gave me back the deepest sympathy card I got him for when his crampers.

I thought he would have put it in the bin. the Dior Sauvage though, fragrance says a lot, which I'm sure my dad would have loved. She means she would have gave it to her dad if she got all his belongings back. Do you know what, though? It is funny when you split up from someone

and you've got those sentimental pieces of things that they've given you. Even things like engagement rings. Like, do you give it back? Or do you sell all the bags and shoes and rings that say they bought you loads of shit? Or, oh no. what do you do with your stuff that you've got with your ex?

Do you not want to keep it? Do you don't want to chuck it? Sorry, if I had a bunch of good bags and shoes and rings and shit, I don't go, fuck if I'm not with you, I'm keeping them. A hundred percent? I'm using them. I don't feel that way, though, about things. Like one of my friends, when her and her boyfriend split up,

like, she would keep literally nothing. But then, do you think there's some exes are that, like, give me that back? And you're like, but you got it me as a gift? It's like, I don't care, I want it back. Probably. Yeah, but they will be. Especially if it's like expensive things.

Say it was like watches or bags or... And also it maybe depends how the relationship ended. Like let's say you cheated on your man or vice versa. And they just recently bought you a big thing. I'd be like, give me that fucking back. No, I know. And it costs you a lot of money and you've just disrespected me. Fuck off.

Or sell it and give me the cash. I think it's definitely circumstantial that one. But I'm not one. for like oh like his mum gave me a dress and guy I'm no wearing that anymore I love this one my ex-boyfriend was a proper

arshel so after we ended I used his email to sign him up for a Rangers Forum he's a Celtic fan posted some controversial comments and he was then inundated with emails of angry replies a small bit of payback but it was worth it that is amazing I feel like for some guys

that's the worst thing he could probably do yeah my ex who changed Heated on me and then dumped me after I took him back. I was young and dumb, ha-ha. Used to hate me hanging about with my best friend. And one night, possibly six months later, we went out for some drinks and for a dance,

and he sat with his latest victim and went and found her jackets and started chucking them on the dance floor and stomping on them. The weirdest guy ever. Weirdest little guy. Can you imagine watching a guy do that? Are you okay? That's fucking weird. a strange little man

right crazy ex story he was mental a total narcissist and super controlling always wanted to know everything about anything didn't like me speaking to anyone

practically used to question if I was really at work or out with another man because my location was showing about 100 yards away from my actual workplace he had two kids that he still spent loads of time with

at their mum's house always told me they were finished years ago turned out they had never actually split up and were very much together. When I found out and confronted him, I had his mother on the phone threatening me and telling me how much he loved me. Of course that ended and I blocked him on everything.

So he would send me bank transfers of pennies to send messages. What the fuck, guys. All this whilst he was still with the mother of his kids. What a fucking loser. What a loser. Also, at least send me a few hundred quid, not pennies, you type, fuck.

I'm worth more than that Work for it bitch Yeah I'm worth more than a penny You bastard Also getting your little mummy to call you up Pathetic That is the absolute worst Pathetic

My crazy ex stalked me after I left him He peered through my friend's window When we were getting ready for a night out Waited until we were upstairs And ran in and stole my phone So he could read through our messages He had asked me for months Would wait outside my work

Drive around the town looking for me if I was in a night out And just generally be everywhere I was He was absolutely crazy This went on until I met my now partner 17 years now And then I never seen or heard from him since He ran into your house To steal your phone, what the fuck?

You look really crazy by the way Crazy ex story However after a truly awful breakup I only saw the relationship for what it was once I was out of it Abusive coercive control wrapped up in them Struggling with Mental Health Quite quite a few of them I don't seem to be the excuse I think

I decided to report my ex to the police Spent almost a year in the criminal justice system Only to stand and watch him get sentenced as a domestic abuser I will never know where I found the strength to go through with this process, but it was worth it, and I'd urge anyone else to do the same. If you haven't heard of Claire's law, please do your research. It might save you. Wow.

Okay. So I had a little look at this because I have heard of Claire's law, but I've never really looked at what it is. So basically, it's a domestic violence disclosure scheme where you have the right to ask and request information from the police about your current partner, if you have suspicions, or about someone else's partner. So let's say I was worried that you were getting abused. could ask. The police will check records and decide if sharing information could help someone

keep them safe. You also have the right to know the police can proactively warn someone if they believe that a person is at risk, even if no request has been made. So the information that could be shared is like past convictions for domestic abuse or violent offences and relative patterns of behaviour that could indicate risk. It's free to use and you can apply online or through your local police force and decisions are made carefully often with safeguarding teams involved And if information is shared, it's confidential and it's meant to protect not to be spread. And it's called Claire's Law because it's named after a lady called Claire Wood, who was murdered in 2009 by a partner with a known history of violence that she didn't know about.

That's terrifying. So that's one for you, girly pops. If you think or know of anyone that you are worried about, that is available to you for free. Definitely because it's one thing, like we can laugh about these stories, they're all more younger. Most of the time, do you know what I mean? But they actually have a big element of seriousness to them. Well, exactly.

And even us being the ones that are in the car, like, that is stalking. Yeah, it's scary. Like, it actually is unacceptable behaviour. Girls, my ex just bought a house in my street. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

That's my worst nightmare, I think. I wonder if they're both with new people. But I want to know if he knew it was. was your street or not. Of course he bloody did. But I don't know where a lot of people live. I only know who the people houses I go to live. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. Well, that's indicating that he does know where she lives though. I'd hate that so much. I'd need to move. Chucked a pint of coke at my ex and a pub. Bastard she saw me and had white on. I love a drinks throw. I know it's so...

I just think it's impactful. It's ruined your night. You're covered and drink. stink, you're wet, you're sticky. Time to go home. Red wine over a nice white outfit. See you later. Right, we've got one here from a message here

about something that we spoke about last week, or the week before. Hi girls, I love the pod. I've got a story quite similar to the girl from this week who walked in on her boyfriend cheating. Going back 15 years now, I had fancied my friend's older brother for years, but he always had a girlfriend.

They did then split up and we were unofficially seeing each other for a while. I couldn't believe my luck until my friend and I went to a party at his flat after a night out in a group. Couldn't find the guy, so went into his room to see he had crashed out, only to find him in bed with my friend. I immediately walked out and hadn't spoken to either of them since. I even moved out of my local area. Then last year, a new girl started at my work. Yep, you guessed it, my friend from 15 years ago. It's very awkward. I've had a... I've... I've... And I have to avoid her in the office.

A couple of people in my team know the history, but everyone else is unaware. She actually had the cheek to tell the company owner that we used to be friends, but I ghosted her for no reason. She's still delusional. What the fuck? Do you know what's so annoying when you just want to move on with shit in your life? And it's just like, why the fuck are you back in my life? Yeah, I know.

Go away. And then you don't want to be the one to have to find a new job and move and everything, because you've came to my work. Yeah. You should need to leave. And you're spreading all your bullshit. Like you don't know why we didn't speak anymore. Weirdo.

Bitch. Bitch. Bitch. Bitch. You bloody bitch. Cheating ex followed me to the country. I live Singapore and applied for a job in my work. See what I mean?

Fuck off. Fuck off. Fuck off. I wonder if anything like that's happened, though, to anyone where an old flame has come back into your life years on. And it's been good And it's been good And you've sort of been like You know what I really like them

Maybe you're completely unaware That it was planned all along But it worked out in their favour Like that was their plan to get you back But he's a cheater So she's thinking No I know but I mean like A crazy X or somebody that you split

I went out with a guy That was nine years older than me And when it ended we still live together And when I was in the shower one time He went into my overnight bag Sniffed my pants then accuse me of having sex with someone else, which I was, but we wear split up.

He said, the best quote of all time. Women are like monkeys, they aren't happy unless they're swinging off another branch. He also bought me a digital camera to try to take him back and sent me a hundred texts in one day. He sniffs our pants. And what, he could smell another man's jets? Exactly that. I think that's unacceptable.

I don't even want to stuff my own pants. That is vile. Like what? Yep, that's it. Get it out! Cheat! I need to know what scent you're looking for there to know. I mean, semen has a smell.

But also, she could have had sex with someone and used a condom. No, I know. They were split up anyway, as the point here. He's just a fucking weirdo. I love how she said, I was. No, I know in fairfax. Got to get it. We're telling people last week to go through people's phones

with the cost suspicions, guys, sniff your girls' pants. Sniffy girls' pants. Sniff the panties. And the boxers, by the way. Yeah. Although... Although... What we're smelling?

No, I'm thinking they would have like... The aftermath, but then that happens to boys anyway, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. So don't snuff the boxers. I couldn't think anything worse. Scroll on Instagram to see my tattoo artist post that my ex got the tattoo that I designed and got before we broke up

tattooed on his neck you still love me you're still completely obsessed with me you're obsessed with me I wonder what that was yeah like is it meaningful or was it just like something you liked that's so strange

fucking weird last cheating X story I'll preface this by saying I'm now in my series and healed law but in my 20s I was with a guy and convinced he was cheating with a girl from his football bus he came home absolutely pissed after a day night of football we had a fight and he passed out

I nicked his phone and took it to work before he woke up the next morning so I could have a right proper nosy and peace my workmates thought I was off my head but I loved the drama I gaslit him into thinking he'd lost his phone and watched in real time as he messaged the girl back and forth via Facebook messenger that he'd logged in through my iPad planning a football trip away together the next week I got home, broke up with him,

planked his passport and watched him pack his bags greeting about how he'd miss his trip away because he couldn't find it I cannot imagine now getting myself into such a tizzy over someone but yeah pretty loony behaviour from me I think that's well-worthy loony behaviour though sis fuck him in his trip what so she stole the passport

so he couldn't go on the trip that was planning with the new lassie good on you if anyone's got any more X stories please tell us I love this shit right she'll end in a wee dilemma let's do it

a wee dilly I need help I have a degree in mismanagement I have worked in insurance for four years it's been fun but I look around office and there is no one I look up to and not an obituate but there is no one whose job I think

well I want to do that I've been looking on indeed but it's such a dead end as most jobs want experience and given the insurance sector is male-dominated that is rough out there. I've done well in my career currently sitting in a head office function

won awards and nominated for awards but it's got to a point there just taking the piss a bit. I asked for a pay review in January and it's still being reviewed. You get my gist. I'm just a corporate girl who's a bit stuck. The corporate world's difficult.

Especially in male-dominated corporate world as well. Yeah and I actually do agree with that. The only thing I would say to that is, and I remember sharing this to someone before, see if you're looking at a job and you think I could do that, but they want more experience than you've got,

still apply. You never know, because... They could interview me and think, you know what, you're going to be more suitable for this role? Or make a role for you. Or they might think you're worth doing a bit of training with. Yeah. Because if it's in your industry, even slightly,

the skills that you've learned in your current role, or even just and maybe like the level of position you're in if you're quite senior or whatever might be enough for you to be able to go in and learn more about that business. You still need to learn about a business regardless of your experience.

So I just feel like you should never let that hold you back because you never know they might just think really liked you. We'll train you up. Here's the job. Because we were talking about this last week moving in the studio actually about like degrees and things. and how have you ever actually been asked to prove what degree you've got?

The answer for me is no. So that could be a lie. It's not. I swear, I promise it's not. But that could be a lie. Yeah. So it goes the same with like experience. You could say you've got more experience than you have

and if you like you enough, they'll take you. But I would definitely go up to your manager and say, I'd push more. I'd push more on the pay rise, yeah. because you might just be stuck in a rut at the minute because you're in limbo with asking and like you say you've got all these awards and you've done really well in the company

yes you don't look up to anybody that doesn't mean that you can't change the way that you can't you would be probably an amazing manager to the people below you you can change things when you get into a higher position just because they are like that doesn't mean you have to be I know and you do hear a lot of people saying like you know I look around the office

and do I want to be any of these people no which I do think is quite telling but as you said, but you would be different in that role. Yeah. So, like, and maybe if you were actually in it, you would enjoy it. Exactly. But. But then sometimes higher roles come with different responsibilities,

longer working hours. Sometimes being promoted isn't always the better option for you. Sometimes you actually don't get paid more, especially if you're on like a commission-based role and you're in like sales and you do really well. And then you get promoted to like a manager. You don't get the commission side of things. That's quite a lot in like car sales and stuff like that as well.

But I would suggest push more on the pay rise. That might make you feel a little bit better and a bit more value within the company. Still keep your eyes and ears open on it. Indeed, I've seen a few people right to us saying that Indeed's really tough at the moment. I wonder if it's even worth if there's anywhere that you would like to work specifically. Yeah. Just try and find someone who works there on LinkedIn or the HR or hiding team, whatever it might be.

And just reach out and send your CV. Yeah. There doesn't need to be a job advertised as such. They might not be looking right now, but... And the grass isn't always greener either. But also... Like, ask yourself, do you actually love... The industry?

The industry that you're in because you're going to move somewhere else. It might just be the exact freaking same. I know. And you've maybe not got the same recognition there. Yeah. But what I think's worth remembering is you're going in every day thinking about that pay-dise conversation, but like they're not.

So maybe it's at the bottom of their list. And it is a difficult conversation to have. Or maybe they forgot about it that you've asked for that, or they've maybe just thought, oh, she's not asked again. Yeah, they will, though. That's what most places are like. Exactly, but you need to keep pushing it. And what I also think is important is it's so valid to say the cost of living is increasing,

like my wage needs to increase. Yeah. I remember asking for my first ever pay rise, and it was like well overdue. I was on fucking buttons, like the minimum you can go into a job. And I remember saying, like, I'm at that stage in my life where I want to start saving to move out my family home and I can't do that right now. Like that's life. That's life you need to navigate and it's okay to say that you need more money. Of course it is and it is a difficult thing to have like we've spoke about it loads before

but I had a really difficult conversation with my boss as well about it. Yeah. A couple times actually. It's also just awkward. Once it's done, it's done like you just need to prove that you're serious. Prove that you're not a walk over and be like I need this to survive. Either that or I go and look elsewhere. I can guarantee you now.

They value you in the company. They're not going to want that to happen. Also, it's cheaper to up your pay-buyer than hire someone new because you've got hiring process that you potentially use an agency for, that you've got fees. They'll probably want more money.

They're going to want more money because they're going to be chancing it. And they're going to need to be trained up in the role that you're really good at. It's not worth it. It's worth paying you more of the value already. Yeah. But also, the be on and end all is

money doesn't always make you happy. So if you're looking around and thinking, even if I got paid flipping 10 grand more in this role, would I really be happy? Am I aspiring to be anyone else in this company. If the answers no, then I would look elsewhere.

Yeah, I agree with that. Well, that says, double or done. Catch us over on Patreon. We've got a very lengthy episode last week. I think it was like 50 minutes that we did. It was. So freaking long. We've been doing so many long episodes.
