Happy Thursday all. smashed that i remember you and maria knowing that yeah and writing it out on paper and just learning it i really wanted to be involved i was so jealous really and i had it all written out on a bit of paper and yeah learned and yeah learned it can anyone send any more in yeah give us a new one five flies flew around the farmyard frightening the farmer's friends never heard that that's one for you peter piper picked a pickle pepper that one seashells she's I'm thinking of maybe some more amusing ones

I see if you can get only amusing ones but Laura had a go at ours have a listen My mommy makes me mash my many amine's on a Monday morning I thought she did very well How many practices that here Who was it that sent the video in? That was funny We should pop that on Insta for sure

Is that okay? Yeah she won't mind Here we go Mom mommy makes me bash my minute my mum makes me bash my mini and emms on a Monday morning my mum makes me ash my mini and M&Ms on a Monday morning This is brilliant because it's the large tooth thing I love that that's one that's one that GK Barry uses all the time I love it it's the best filter ever

It's good Yeah it's not her voice just to clarify Just to clarify how are you both Yeah this is a bit weird Uncomfortable can you come over a bit We've come to Auntie Linney's tonight. Sorry. Very confusing really because Auntie Linney isn't in.

But, yeah, I couldn't get out and I'm staying here. Yeah. So I had to bring the girls to me. What is the saying? If Mohammed can't go to the mountain, then the mountain goes to Mohammed. Yeah. Is that what it is? I've got absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

It's definitely a saying. Hang on a moment. Oh, ha. The most popular name. Boy's name in the UK. Oh yeah, it is. Two years running. Yeah, two years.

If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain. It means that if you cannot get what you want or if things do not go your way, you must adjust your plans and take action to achieve your goals. And that is what we've done tonight. Just finally out there.

Yeah, the mountain can't go to Mohammed because the mountain doesn't move, so Mohammed is going to have to go to the mountain. Yeah, but it's a proverb. Yeah, I think it should be the other way around. If Mohammed can't get to the mountain The mountain will come to him But it's not going to, is it

No, you just said that No, I know But there's more chance Yeah, no, I don't get it I don't get it So anyway, we're here Sat in Auntie Linney's beautiful cream lounge I mean, I've all got a lovely glass of red

Lovely Lovely, I've kept my shoes on Yeah, just to know The lounge is the posh lounge That we don't go in So we're treating ourselves Yeah, nice bottle of red on the side I'm just balancing my red on the sofa.

Yeah, because you'd be careful of that, because that is ridiculous. Mine that arm. Only joking, sis. Only joking, sis. Happy anniversary, by the way. Yeah, Ruby. Ruby, 40 years. You get more for murder.

No, sorry, you get less for murder. Congratulations, mother. Yeah, it's amazing. Well done, well done. We, in fact, I went into mum last night and said good night. Like, I'm 12 again. Bits, no, no, don't start. Hold bet.

I'm going to have to just let her out. Oh, it's all right. Betsy's not been on the pod and your mum talks about all the time, so that's nice. And I said to mum, so this time 40 years ago, what were you doing? It was really cute. Yeah, she was doing nothing. She said she was at home. Olga stayed round in a single bed.

cute in it sounds like the pit and then what I didn't realize is dad stayed at home in Islington and then drove down in the morning like you just I feel like now you'd be like oh what if there's traffic

I know probably it weren't as bad then that's annoying isn't it yeah and they didn't know obviously I didn't live together no it was a bit more cash there now we make these huge things massive plans we overthink everything I went to a wedding the other day, a friend of mine, and it was London-based, and it was just super chilled,

and it was beautiful. Yeah. How nice just to, it's another day. It was, yeah, obviously a super special day, but there was just no, like, stress or pressure, or even though it is a really, you know, momentous day. Yeah, but I think that's, again, weddings have become such a thing, whereas actually you find the weddings that you love,

are those ones that are not saying there's no pressure but they are a bit more understated but just beautiful with the people you love not spending millions of pounds do you don't you don't you don't need to if you got the right people around you that's all it's about isn't it's true i could get married in here if i'm honestly be quite happy you've had a good night's here aren't we yeah so mum said that dad came down from isinton then they got married in winchmore hill brilliant went to the church here and then went up so he'd done quite a lot of miles that day. Where did they stay that night?

Go to a hotel. I want to say they stayed in... What's that place? In the infield, are you like, or am I making that up? Four. Maybe more let on. She's living on their pod can...

I could be... I probably made that all up. But anyway, I are brilliant. 40 years. And she said she hated her hair on the wedding day. Oh, really? Yeah. Speaking of hair.

Yes. My lovely dear friend Kat has sent me She was extremely excited for Tony's Instagram to start She sent me a little message saying day made She is obsessed And yeah she finally got to meet him at Dad's birthday So she was delighted This is basically AI showing us what we look like in the 80s

So this is my sort of What would you say that is? Not rock You look like you're going to be on Save by the Bell Yes Or like Bonnie Tyler Yeah, big hair, lots of A lot of clothes shirt

But you don't look different It's just the hair and the mate I love it That hair is excellent We will share these all So you can see It's fantastic actually That is me looking more

Why? That's another one of you. Oh. A little newsreader. Maria. That's me. Sorry, Kate's just sending them through. We will share them guys, but these are brilliant.

I think Katz said you can do it on Gemini. Is that the app that comes on the iPhone? No idea. But it is so, they're brilliant. They are what, yeah, they are absolutely fantastic. It is just stuff like that. It's just fun. Yeah, but it's dangerous.

Why is that dangerous? Well, that's not, but it's all the other stuff you can do. Are you surprised me? You better get that dog in. So yeah, thanks, Kat, for doing that for us because we've really enjoyed looking at those. I just think it's nice to have a little play around with the pictures. I find it amazing.

Amazing, actually. Just what you can do, you can go back to any century. It's just nice to have a look at what you'd look like in that era. Yeah. It's just fun, isn't it? No, yeah, it is fun. It's like all the filters and like we're saying about the one with the big teeth and all. It's just funny.

But they've things that have been around for ages, filters and all that. Same thing. It's slightly different, just adapted. Absolutely. It's exactly like putting a photo on Instagram filtered. People have been doing that for years. No, I know, but these are like, it's not just a filter, these are proper. Could you put your phone on silent, please?

I just have. She's got a sheet. I beg your, I beg your pardon. Emma had a go at us all for having our phones on vibrate or beeping, and I forgot to turn mine onto silence, so sorry Emma. Out of order. What you've been doing today? I am exhausted. I'm absolutely.

I've not stopped. I've not stopped. Loads of washing, done all. of Joni's new polos and shirts for school so I hate them out the packet you got a wash yeah oh do you wash them yeah they stink oh I don't oh really oh you got a washing no fuck that no that really surprises me of mrs ironing board no I iron them yeah I ain't fucking washing them fair enough I used to when they're younger now they're fine they're wearing once it began in the wash I'm not washing them true no well I had alfi and ruby this morning I had them all weekend not

Not solo. No. Let me tell you, you parents of three, I fucking salute you. Because that is not cute. And they were all fairly well behaved. They just don't listen, do they? No. They just don't listen.

No. There's no listening. And I was thinking, and I bumped into a couple of people at the park that I knew, so I was asking them, some friends we've grown up with who also were very close with their families. Yeah. And I was like, is it because, because as an auntie, you sort of expect that they would be better behaved and they would listen. I'm not saying they were not naughty.

They're just high, you know, they're just being kids. Yeah. So you'd think that because you're an auntie, but I think because we're so close. Don't give a shit. And I've treated them like my own from day one.

They don't give a shit. Ruby told me that she don't really particularly like me on Sunday. She didn't like my hair. Excellent. Oh yeah. She told Dad she didn't like Dad straight away as well. Don't like, don't like you. Oh, fair enough

So it's not just you She's only like mommy Mommy only But Eliza's friend Platted her hair So I took it out the next day It was all crimped And Natalie had done the same

And Natalie was like Look we've got the same hair She's like don't like your hair It's like She's a nutchy Yeah girls are But no they were fine It was more for me

We went for a walk I thought let me get out We went to the park Do you think you could do that So you've got James James then is Alfie's age Alfie's age

and then you have two more It's crazy And we did arts and crafts I just spent my time with them And played Yeah we did some crafts We played some games I did them panc

They wanted pancakes So I was making pancakes At 9 o'clock this morning I don't know It wasn't awful But every day Every day It's a lot

It's a lot But I was It was more we were walking To the park And so I said Just please listen Like I need to just run through the rules

before we leave this house and they're just like not listening so I'm like so then I said right if you don't listen carry on being naughty I'm going to get Nanny to pick you up and then Alfrey just started being really naughty

I said what you do you mean yes Nanny's coming I said oh literally I can't win no it didn't work so and I said right well you can stay with me all day now oh yeah

I see you're like what do I use because then and then so then I'm just saying just watch the road we stop because you know when you're pushing the pram as well you're not mine. Did you get them to

hold on to each side? Yeah, they were holding on but I don't like one being next to the road but so then they're like walking in front of each other and then they're tripping up so I'm like Alfred get on this side and then I took them into Sainsbury's I said it's 11 o'clock get a little snack because by the time we get to the park you might be hungry and Alfred I don't want anything

the first time I've taken them kids into a shop and they don't want anything Ruby got a pack of monster munch and then Alfie didn't want anything so yeah well fair enough That was that. Went to the park, beautiful, literally stepped foot in the door, and it absolutely hammered down. It's been crazy today.

We had the hedges being cut today, and they were all out there, poor Ricky and Co. And the heavens opened. I saw the most beautiful rainbow. Where? She goes on about this rainbow again. Because I've never, ever seen a rainbow like it. I'll post this as well, guys. I'm sure you all saw it.

Was there a pot of gold at the end of it? Well, I've tried to find it, but look at that. I was going to say Let me see I've seen better I've seen better Yeah it's a bright one Oh I've never seen it like

It's beautiful That is beautiful That is beautiful That is nice Rangbows are pretty incredible Aren't they when you think about them Well it's just light But yeah

It's stunning Stunning No I was going to ask everyone Do you all find with your children That they're just You can't get them all good At the same time If it's not one, it's the other.

That blows my brains. I said it to you yesterday. If Joni's being awful and then I have an argument with her, Eliza's really sweet and vice versa. Crazy. Always. So I think they get scared because they see you getting annoyed with the other one and think, oh, I'll be nice because I don't want that.

Well, funny you say that, that's exactly what had to happen today when I was having a little word with Alfie. Ruby was like, Auntie Birdie, can I? Like being all. sweet and like really trying to butter me up but she didn't need to i was like are you listening he was just sticking his tongue out of me i was like but no they were good they were lovely nice to have a no for that lovely to have a bit of time with him really not and james had his naps it was perfect i had a lovely lovely couple of hours with him yeah it's lovely and they're good

with the baby like they're so good with him yeah oh no it weren't at his thought he was in his walk and he's obsessed with all the kitchen cupboards yeah and the thing is They want to move him if they're, and I say just leave him because you're going to make it worse. Either you're going to get hurt or he's going to get hurt, so just let me do it. So then Alfie's up really close behind him and then he's open the door on the kitchen unit, bang, right on Alfie's head. Oh, I know. I reckon that is the same spot. Every time something happens that kid is on.

I think it, do you think it's possible that something has happened to his head? What do you mean? Like it's always got a lump there. Well, I can tell you where that's from When he fell down my stairs And smashed his head on the windowsill Oh, that's four times then I forgot about that

Don't you remember that? Yeah, I do And it was the same spot Yeah And then he did it a couple of days Maybe it's just a bit like weaker I don't know if that's a thing I feel like that side of his skull

Is a little bit lumping What happens to me? What happened to me? Where have I fallen? It's all like one lump I had One lumped too Oh, all fun.

All good and fun. You know we were talking about shopping last week and looking into baskets. I did a bit of that, did a bit of basket looking at the weekend. Yeah. Anything good? No. But I like it. I've decided it's my new hobby.

I like it. Maybe we could do that and see what the weirdest thing. I think we should. keep a look out of the shopping baskets and trolleys could be a little section couldn't it? Yeah.

Weirdest, weirdest item of the week. But not even like who has got it. Who it goes with like one that would be weird for me would be seeing like an 80 year old man we've... Buying tampons.

It's a great one. Yes. But I was fantastic. I was going to go more, something more not even as... Yeah, yeah. It's good. Hannah said

Do you look at other people's baskets Well we're going to now Hannah I don't tend to look at others to be fair But always And I mean always get comments on mine I tend to go to Aldi to buy a lot of wine Especially wine of the week I might buy like 12 bottles

So the usual comment is Are you having a party To which I usually say no that's just for tonight I do it seriously too And watch their faces Brilliant Always that is me every time With a Vino

All the time Because I'll just stock up If it's like six and you get 25% off I'll just chuck them in because I like to have them in the fridge Or whatever I'm being judged Oh couldn't give a fuck No I do feel like if you have a lot of alcohol in your basket

It's always what's the occasion Yeah well it's like I can't remember if it was for nans or non-nors And I went to Sainsbury's with someone And got a load of drink Would have been nannies Yeah it must have been nannies And they were like

You're having a party No funeral Oh, the poor woman Oh, you just wouldn't say it Just say, yeah Yeah, no Oh, I bet she was devastated Because you can't see you

Like when I met my mate Ron was his name Ron The Sainsbury's with my Prosecco Yeah The old boy, do you remember Yeah You do

When I was pregnant For the baby show I was getting And he helped me He said Oh you're having a party And he said You're not going to drink all that

That one That one of the labour's heart But yeah No I went into Sainsbury's a while ago now It was just had to pick It was really early. I was going somewhere and I was picking up, I think, some food for the baby or something

or milk and I saw that the mirror of our lovely rosé that I love was on offer and it was by six and get 25% off. So I'd just like chucking them in the bottom of the pram. It was like quarter to night. But I couldn't. Especially when I don't go in there all the time now. I'm taking that opportunity. It's so hard shopping with a pram as well, isn't it?

Oh, that is not spoken about enough. Yeah, it's terrible. It's so awkward when you've got a newborn baby. And also I saw someone the other day, and I never did this because I'm stupid, they put the car seat in the trolley. I never did it. Never did that. I think I might have done it once, but also when the car seats in the trolley, you're not getting much in there.

No, and that's what was weird. So, she was with her partner, and the trolley was empty with just the thing in it. Well, there was two adult bags. Well, maybe they forgot the base of the pram. Yeah. So they've had to, yeah. Do you know what I mean? So they couldn't just carry the car seat round.

But then would you not take two trolleys, so you've got a bit more room? Or maybe they didn't really need a trolley. I thought now, like now it's nice because James can sit in the pram. Yeah, in the thing. Yeah. But yeah, you can't, I've lived on just going for one bag. Yeah, but some trolleys do the car seat-esque seat. Yeah, not really any.

And also when they're baby, baby. I won't want him in that. No. Is that bad? No. I just don't feel like they're very safe. Yeah, quite hard, aren't they? It's interesting.

You've come on to trolleys and, oh, sorry. But me and mum had a little shopping day on Sunday, and I used my trolley token for the first tails. Fantastic. Saturday I went to the Tesco's Brookfield and was like, I'm going to use a trolley. What are they to? You don't need to. No, but some places are.

Did you get a little picky? Well, no, because we didn't need a trolley. Then I had to go back out and get the trolley. Then I needed to go to the car, but I'd left the phone inside. Did it work? Okay. It worked lovely. I was just about to say it.

No. And do you know what's hilarious is I was about to upload this photo. And then the trolley says, please don't use tokens. These may jam. Oh. But it works. And it didn't jam. The best spells, have you?

Yes, you have to take it off the thing. Oh, for fuck sake. What do you mean? You have to take it. it off the key ring. You just clip it off. It's got a little clip. It's very easy.

So it's a key ring and then it's attached to a little clip. So you unclip it. Oh, okay. Lovely. So that was pleasurable. Then we went to IKEA, the new one. How is that? Shit.

I don't. Not great. Oh, that's a shame. It's fine, but it's not, if you're used to going to the big one. Fine. It's not great. Well, I'm not really used to go into the big one. I've never been to an IKEA.

Oh, you'd love it. I'd never been. obsessed with it. Oh my God, you'd buy everything. Just, it's so good. But yeah, the bit, I feel like you've got to just, it's great for what I just wanted to pick up a few storage things for the kitchen

and, do I mean, just, but the one, where is it? Hollow. Tottenham, no, where's the big one? It's gone. Oh, for fuck sake. Oh, leg side, if they got a big one, possibly. Yeah, anyway. Just the larger stores.

We go in, I say to mum, don't worry, put the baby in the trolley. Don't need the pram. He's quite heavy. we're walking can't see any trolleys excuse me with the trolleys they're just at the back of the store

I'm thinking right but first of all with IKEA you want to walk through the whole thing yeah so that they've put them at the back and the reason they've done that is because the first half so obviously IKEA's like

an Australian you have to walk through it got you yeah yeah so the first half of it is all your big things is like your furniture so you don't need a trolley because there's no little bits When you get to the glasses, the mugs, the chopping boards, the Tupperware, that's where the trolleys are.

I see. But if you're carrying a child round... What if you wanted to put a piece of flat pack furniture in your trolley? No, because I think you get all the flat pack at the end. Ah, okay. But no, I've got a baby. I can't walk around with him. You could be there for an hour looking at stuff.

Oh, fair enough. No, it's stupid is what it is. Stupid. And I'm shocked because I thought they would be on that. well i'm pleased earlier like the new ikea that's opened that was a bundle of fun yeah and you bought something didn't you when i buy something very premature oh i have to be and ms cute though isn't it it was a b and ms bnm thing was it bnm okay sorry i don't as there's tescos oh i don't really go to b and ms scos it's tesco it's tesco i'll say

i say marx's yeah that's yeah that's different oh oh isn't it It was lovely. Is it a chopping board of some kind? No, it's just like a serving. And it just says Merry Christmas or just Mary? Just Mary. What? Just says Merry. That's sort of the reason I wasn't going to buy it.

I quite like it. I didn't even notice that. Let me say. Just Mary. Mary what? Mary. No, just Mary. Just Mary.

Just be merry. But be merry. No, it's not you. But I thought, do you know what, on my new, in my new kitchen, yeah, on the thing. Maybe with like a candle on it You could use it for anything Is that what you're doing? It's a round bamboo serving board

You could put some mince pies on it Yeah Or you could have it out Some cheese on it Cheese and grapes on there Or you could sort of use it as a display Yeah you could have sort of pine cones on there And some bits and pieces

Exactly a nice candle A few little lights But for four quid I couldn't not pick it out guys I'm not going to lie Although Jane on our Instagram post said Stop with the Christmas You are wishing your lives away

and I do get that but also I'm not using it I'm not thinking about it I just bought it I have to be honest we're talking about it very early maybe oh well I'm sorry

it's not going to stop it's my highlight of my year and if I enjoy it and I look forward to it I'm not wishing it away I'm excited by it and I bought my first I was in Marxist on Sunday morning

Saturday morning No, Saturday morning And I saw a good food Christmas magazine And I couldn't help myself And I bought it How much is that?

I don't know, fibre Oh wow But last night I got into bed And I read it And I was salivating You're very quiet You're all out of whispering Am I?

Yeah, she was soft Last night I got into bed And I read the whole thing And my mouth Was watering rosemary and cheese, shortbreads. Oh, I'm buzzing.

Guys, we haven't even said. Yeah, happy burr. We're in the Burm months. Oh, of course. Yay. I'm excited for it. This evening. Oh, I love it.

It is cute. Dark, bit rainy. The bake-off's on now. And for me, that's the beginning of the season. Is it? Yeah. And you watch the beginning. I don't watch it.

No, well, I love it. I love it. bait. I used to love it. It's the beginning of September again. Beginning of the autumn and try and get into it. Yeah, I love it. And then windows strictly start. It'll be soon, I would imagine. That for me is like... Big brother?

No. Yeah. I don't watch it. That's to me not a seasonal thing. Well, it is babes. Because it ain't on in the fucking summer. No, mine is strictly. Was it? That's his one. I don't know. And Jojo. And Chris. That wasn't summer. That was spring.

Well, it wasn't the buck in winter, was it? Could be right. 12 year age gap. Jojo and Chris? Fantastic. Love them to pieces. Do you see them on holiday at their cruise, talking to everybody in videos of kids and that?

No. They'll have a baby soon, weren't they? Fantastic. Oh, how does she tell it so much? I love, I follow them. I don't follow anyone. I don't follow any celebrity couples. Never in my life have I been bothered.

Jojo or Chris, if you are listening, reach out, and you will make her day. Honestly, I love them. I've messaged Chris Hughes. Oh. I said I think you're absolutely fantastic. What did he say? No, he didn't get back.

Yeah, he's got quite a lot of followers. And Ricky? Does he say thanks for his book yet? No, he's been on tour and he's very busy. It's flying around the world, and then. Are we going to go see him? Hopefully, yeah. I need to have a little look at the dates because I've got my book tour and stuff, so

I need to make sure it all fits him. But anyway, yeah, so the buzz, the buzz. The buzz, and I'm going to say it because you haven't yet. I'm in the final of cooking with a stone I actually watched one last last night's one did you? Yeah good I haven't seen Maria or dad in that

this week final oh fuck I forgot about that yeah yeah yeah um no amazing you're doing really well although the pancakes what the fuck what was that about why was it so lumpy I mean you should have seen my pancakes this more

I wish I'd have done a picture of that it was the pressure Well, I did know. Was it a stack? Did you do a proper stack? No, I don't do a stack. You made them for a four-year-old, six-year-old. I'm just saying it was meant to be a stack, 15 pancakes, no time.

The cutting of the plums, honestly, the peeling and chopping of the plums took about 20 minutes. How long did you get? 40. I'm going to do it. I can't wait. We should do it. Why don't you both have a go? But you've got to do exactly the same ingredients.

They're vegan on all that. They're vegan. Coconut. I'm saying. The coconut milk was very hard The cream I let you off there What was the coconut for

The coconut cream Oh that was a cream That was a cream thing But when I'd put it in the fridge Sean's melted to pieces Because he left it But when I got mine out It was all lumpy

I had no time I had no time I had to get them stacked up How many did you make Like six or eight I think Seven or eight I'm not doing this competition Because Elya is the pancake queen

And I am shit You know you should do it Don't you Her mark Her mark yeah I would You should have a pancake off Yeah

Because my pancakes are excellent We do need to do a little Same recipe, different interpretations Definitely I just might need a minute And then I'm all yours I don't know what you said I'm coming around yours to do it

Yeah I was gonna say We're around yours doing it honey We could do a little night We should do a little cook night maybe That would be really lovely What are you excited Oh yeah so The last pod we did

Do you remember it was Stop banging your hand on that table Can you hear it Yes Rain will be on me for being rude to you. Everyone's officially unfollowed us. Has she?

She did message us, guys. She messaged me the same message. No, you haven't told us? She messaged me the same one and I did get back to her actually. Oh, and I was going to say, Rainy. Don't take it so personal. But just so we know, just so you all know, she did listen to the pod. Of course.

Because she then messaged us. It's just a bit of banter. Did she message both? What one, the first long one? No, this was, it's a great shame a member of the public can't express an opinion unless it's the same as your opinion. However, I have taken your bullying advice and fucked off, unfollowed and deleted the pod, rain.

And I said, oh, you listened again. From your message above, I thought you had gone. It wasn't a very kind message, I'm afraid. My community is kind and they get the fun and banter. Well done. It's like, no, it's like Ricky Chavez. She only goes, I should have left it, but I didn't. I wanted to leave it, but I couldn't.

Yeah. Oh, that's brilliant. But I wasn't rude. I was just said, it wasn't very kind your message. And I think that's the irony of it. She's calling us for leaves, but she was quite rude. She could have just said, girls, don't really appreciate that. Well, also she didn't say my name right, because my name's not Ella.

Well, I had a really lovely message with an opinion on Lorraine. lovely lady here we go just wanted to say what a beautiful message for the lady that our AED or your old mother had found a pod and it was really helping her because she'd been feeling low what a beautiful story and it just resonates I think by a lot of your listeners because everybody feels so

you know like as if they're talking at talking but listen to friends and that's how just relaxed and at ease you make people feel and I'm the same, like, I wake up my Monday and it's like, oh, it's Monday, oh, but I've got to listen to my pod while I'm getting ready, and that is my thing. But a Monday and a Thursday morning, when I'm busy and about getting ready to go to work,

I'm listening to the pod and really engaging in something that's usually positive or funny rather than listening to the grimness of the news or dreading your day at work. It really is a positive effect on people's lives. And, I mean, it's just general chat, chat, but there are a lot of people that, don't have that, like the lady's mum, you know, maybe loneliness and things, that can really, really help. So getting the word out there and spreading the word about your pod, I think, is important. And can I just say about the lady that come in with a bullying accusation on that's nieces. Oh my God, get a life. You can obviously see the rapport and the camaraderie

between you and your nieces and them as sisters. I mean, if somebody can't see that, then that's just I don't know. Is it jealousy? Is it a relationship? I don't know. But obviously, you're just having fun and nobody's getting hurt. You just do that with each other

and that just shows, you know, how at ease and what a good relationship you've got because you obviously back each other up and cheer each other on just as much as teed each other apart for a good bit of banter. So don't like that bother you, but not that I think that he will.

So keep up with good work, girls. And I must admit, It is part of my weekly routine now and I would really be disappointed if I come on here on a Monday or Thursday morning and there's nothing there to listen to it. That would round my morning. So Leslie Ann, from here right in Scotland,

I would listener. Oh, that's lovely. Thanks, Lizley, Anne. Thank you, Leslie. We love you. And what an accent. It's great. Oh, that was beautiful. What a lovely voice.

I mean, I've got to say, I struggled a bit. It's strong. Once you get into the rhythm of it. Oh, it's beautiful. You could, yeah, very. me a bedtime story beautiful but to be honest we've been doing this well over a year now yes we have been the only neggy comments and we'll take that yeah and people have their own opinions and that's fine too it's not a problem i'm here for it you can come in so absolutely

brilliant oh i've got something i was right again oh yeah she was and that's elia not me right again hello nat i've had to stop mid-nats sneezes just to clarify something the town is beckonsfield it's spelt like beacon but everyone says beckonsfield and you're absolutely right the model village is beck and scott spelt differently b e k o m beken scott model village and i agree everyone would love it anyway i'm going to go back to your episode now um loving it thank you very much bye Thank you, thank you That's very confusing

But also what I will say I googled it Yeah And it said people from Beaconsfield Call it Beaconsfield People that are not from there Often mistake it and call it Beaconsfield Is that you're mistaken

I don't know if it said mistaken I just threw that in But people do call it Beaconsfield Also it is a seagull Not a pigeon I said Seagull No I know Thank you

So I was right Natalie said it was a pigeon Correct Possibly all What's it doing at Trafalgar Square? I don't fucking know. What's the seagull? There was one over here earlier.

What's it doing in? There's loads of seagulls knocking about at the moment. Oh, bring Declan. Declan, mate. Why is there a seagull in Trafalgar Square? Maria would like to know. So he would probably know because he was outstanding, the intelligent. I'm with Dickling.

Speaking of intelligence. Yeah. Me and Dad have been playing Scrabble. I'm so jealous of that. I love it so much. We played three. Mum joined in in one. And he would.

No. joined in on one and then we had to finish it early. Sorry, Mum. Because Dad was tired but I think he was upset that he was losing again. I've beat him twice. We played again last night. It's going to be like Granddad, he used to get such an amp on me. So last night I said, I'll play, but I am not.

If you start getting the amp and sulky and I'm not having it. And so he was well behaved. Did you win? Yeah. And he actually said, you're very intelligent. he's very impressed how good I am well done

that's very good that come from what do you mean I'm always I've always been very good at Scrabble very very good at words good with my words I am

interesting so yeah smashed it and I smashed Natalie at table tennis the other night did you yeah she did I mean not very good

I tell you my seven letter word I had in my first guy yes fanfare oh fantastic what a great word and somewhere to put it perfect. Did you get both Fs on a triple?

No. No. I thought maybe like a cheeky triple word but then you get it on a triple letter as well and it's just unbelievable. And Dad couldn't go and I was going oh it's just so unfair. So he didn't go?

No, I was going, so unfair. It's all the fun of the fair and he had no idea and I bang went down with fun fair. It was excellent. Really good. Best game in the world. Scrabble is fantastic.

Well, we need a night. A little cozy night. It's coming, guys. Red wine. It's on its way. The other thing, talking about things coming, I have seen two squirrels this week. Right.

Disgusting, you're disgusting. You can't say. I tell you another thing that's coming. I. I wonder where you're coming. I'm coming in a way. Lowering the tone. Go on.

Squirrels, yep. They're back. Have I been? I haven't seen one all summer. Have you seen one in the summer? A few little knocking about. Is that true, have you? What, do they not come out in the summer?

I'd like you to tell me someone, do squirrels. They're not hibernating, they do it in the winter. I think they get very warm and I think they remain sort of in the bushes and stuff. But I've seen them wandering across the road. Boulder's brass. It's got caller for them. And I was like, here we go. We're in the burn months.

Squirrels are back. What? Yeah, no, you'll have to let, I think. Oh, you don't know. No, I'm not going to. I can't Google it all the time. No, let us know, guys. O'Du-7-8-19-19.

I have spotted a couple of squirrels in the last couple of days. Where do they go when it's baking hot? Because I don't see them. Let me know. In the tree? That's what I mean. What do you mean in the tree? In the trunk.

Do they? For fuck sake. What do you mean, in the trunk? How do they get in there? No, no. I don't know if that's true. Yeah, of course. I know you want it to be like Beatrix Potter

I used to lick wallpaper. Oh, that is brilliant. I said, no, I get it. I always wanted to do that, too. That is so good. Although, this is not a joke.

Mom and Dad used to have wallpaper. The smell. Yeah, and she had a fruit boulder. Yeah. And it smelled fruit. No, it didn't. It did? No, you're fucking off your end.

I'm telling you. There is that stuff where you can scratch it and it smells. Yeah, like we used to get a perfume on a magazine. Yeah. No way. I don't believe it. I'm sure it did. No, I think you're imagining that.

It's in my memory somewhere. Oh, I don't know. Why don't you talk about the water side in? In where? Where? Where? Where? Oh.

Fuck me. That makes a change. I know. Nicety. I did a really good deed And I'm so sorry I haven't posted it But when this comes out

I would have posted it Go on You know I did my little backdrop thing For Alfie's birthday The Lilo and Stitch Yeah I got lots of lovely comments

I did really well And I was talking to a few people They don't hear in the background To a little Oh I did a like that one I didn't blow up the balloons Myself That's why

So yeah I was just saying to people You know you can do it Without having to spend loads of money I did stupidly By double the balloons Because I thought one set weren't going to turn up anyway so i had some bits left over some tablecloths i didn't

use all in the stitch theme some napkins some cake toppers so i put on instagram i'm hoping to post to someone if they would like them i didn't see that i took it down so the response so i thought i'll take it down because i kept getting people messaging i hate letting people down for someone was super quick and i sent it to her well i will be sending it to her with all the decoration stuff that is so Kind. No, I don't, no, I'll check. I don't be it's imminently, but yeah. Oh, that's really lovely thing to do, isn't it?

Oh, that's really nice. It's really nice. Because I thought otherwise I'll save it all in case. What for? But what for? I'm not going to use it again. I have got a little nicer tea. Oh, gone.

I'd never go back on my word. So quite a lot of stain wipes in M&S and bought us all two packets each. Only two, though. Yeah, mum was fuming. She was wondering where, how's where? Oh, come. No, but I'm here, I know. I've got loads over there.

I can't be doing me nuts How much are they? They're not expensive, I heard They are if you buy an eight packets How much are they? How much are they? I'm sure someone said one pound sixty I'm not sure because I got it with a big shop

Got it with a big shop One pound 60 someone Where have I had that? I don't know I think someone did say one pound sixty If that is the case then that is bloody reasonable My obsession will remain as them wipes

Because this week they have I've used them probably every day Have you? believe on me again not anyone else me well someone actually sent us a voice note saying they went tic-tok viral at the beginning of the year so we're quite late to the party oh apparently apparently it was mad it all went wild i don't really go on tic-tok so i'm not a ticot-tok so i bet there's a tongue twister about tiki-tocky oh what my obsession someone sent us like a to be fair we've had a few messages of other things on amazon or i think or you know other

places that like pens that you can take out with you to stay and remove out or little mini packs and white so I need to get onto that but someone did writing say they do dry out is it?

Yeah that's annoying yeah especially because I've got so many packs I'll bet it's not like no but she said if you take them no she said if you take one out or dry you can't use it twice okay fair enough

fair dues yeah no my obsessions I'm saying I'm trying to think Just shit TV, really Someone asked me what my shit TV was I shared that Love is Blind

Which is now finished Which we spoke a little bit Slebs go dating Never watched it No Oh I love it I'm so good Don't know what's that other one

Maths is in No I'm married at first sight I haven't watched that I had to watch that when I did the TV review podcast And they're about an hour and a half long each I've never known a program That's so long with so many of them as well.

There's thousands of them. Yeah, there is loads. Love is blind. They've done them in the US, Australia. This is the second series. Emma Willis presents it. I mean, it's poor, Maria. That's poor that you're watching.

It's brilliant. And I've done the reunion a year later. One couple was still married. Oh, really? Oh, that's lovely. Yeah. Interesting. But yeah, that's my shite.

That's what I'm obsessive. But we'll be obsessed for strictly soon. Shall we just update the listeners because it's getting boring now. The merchandise. should have really been on pre-sale now but I'm going to let you into a secret guys I've got quite a big cold sore I know it doesn't matter

but if not two yeah I know maybe three I took my I've got tablets for it the aclovor I took seven tablets where it was so tingly and this is what happened

so without the tablets I don't know what would have happened to me tablets why are you sounding like that tablets tablets she always does tablets tablets Tablets. Hey?

Well, it's not tablets. Tablets. That's mad. Tablets. Tablets. Oh, sorry, that sounds weird now. You know when you say something 100 times? Tablets.

Blount that right. What is it? Tardlets. What's that from? Friends. Tardlets. Anyway, she hasn't taken photographs because she's got cold so. No, because I want to wear the merch for you and put it on.

Maria's idea. We need to do it for the website. And do it for the website. So it's like, I'm wearing this in a media. So you can see what it looks like, whatever, and I'll put my cap on, I'll do whatever. But I don't want, I'm not a vain person, as you know, but I don't want to be covered in colds on the website all year round. No, but we need to sort it out.

So once the photos are done, fingers crossed these will go in the next four or five days. I will get the photos done. And then the shop will be built and then we can do the pre-cell. We just need to get the ball rolling because once we do and we see the demand and the uptake, we've got so many ideas and so many exciting things. And you can tell us if you, you know, Well, we can see what goes down well, but you might say,

oh, I really love that hoodie, but I wish it was in this colour, and you can give us all your feedback. Yeah. And it'd be really good, really good. But we're really, I've got all of the samples now. We're moments away. My fault were the herpes.

Apologous. All the best. What did you say? Oh, a bit boring, but I'm obsessed with drinking water. I love water. It's lovely. It's the best.

No, you don't drink a lot of water. She's, does she? stupid. No, but I don't feel like you drink as much. She drinks pints of water. Do you? When she works from mine, it's always another pint, another pint. Yeah, I just think it's so good for you.

It's interesting. It makes you feel lovely. It's, you know, I love that one. I thought you were going to buy me one. I need one. Do you take care of your picture? Because look at the colours I have chosen. But can I ask something?

Is that ill? Do you, would you prefer the straw? No. No, so I thought. But for the house, fine. for going out this because it shuts etc

we're talking about Stanley Cups guys I've got to be honest I was that person that said they're disgusting would never get one they're brilliant but they are

they do help you drink because it's staying nice and cold but I've about three of these a day that's really really good but can I ask do they get like that funny smell inside you just have to wash them out

it's the same with any water that is sat Too long. Moldy. Yeah. So my ice maker does that. All right. I've got a bit of gubbins there.

Oh, wow. Yeah, do you smell it? It doesn't smell. No, but even I've got a Prada one. And that's a far. I thought you that. Yeah. Smells a bit.

It's tiny though. But yeah. You used to put the baby's milk in it or something, didn't it? Probably why. No, hot water. No, we were saying actually, talking of water,

we are lucky with the kids I went so lucky I had a party for Alfie on Saturday morning Friday morning Saturday morning Friday morning that was his party

he then had another party sorry like a jumping trampolining thing and they were sweating as you can imagine we want a drink so one of the mum said

don't worry I'll go down and sort them out anyway she's come up she was like Alfie wanted water they only had squash I was like I love

love him for that. I was like, you're awkward little shit, but I also love him for that. Because he didn't just think, oh, they don't drink squash. No. My kids have never drunk squash. They like a little lemonade as a treat. Yeah. Yeah. Or in afternoon, maybe. Same as mine. Yeah, they're not having squash. At home, it's water. Or like the, um, they do the waters that have like a flavor. You don't mind like a, right. I know what you meant. It's like a hint to black current or something. They've still got a lot of sugar in them though. Yeah, but again, there's a treat. Yeah, of course. But some, some people, but. But. But then, who were we having this conversation with?

Was it yours? Jackie. Yeah. You, you used to have ribina. Oh, ribena, yeah, in a bottle. That was it all. Yeah, sort of talking about. But then some people will say they cannot get water down their children so they had a bit of flavor to it, which again I understand.

If you've got a child that won't drink it. Oh, of course. You need them to have their liquid. So I got it. It's great. And then they drink water. We're just lucky. And then you've got Ruby walking around Legoland with my Coke Zero.

Yeah, trying to drink. Like, nicked it off in Rio. She loves it. I was going to say all of our kids drink water, but none of them listen, so weigh it up, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh, lovely. How long have we been doing this? Too long?

Well, the thing is, I haven't got my timer. I feel very discombobulated. Well, it's 8 o'clock? I reckon we've... No, about 40 minutes. I'm happy. Do you miss the pod room? I do miss the pod room when I'm not there.

I do. She's not in my back. Ah, that's all right. Yeah, well, right for you. I've been holding the mic the whole time. No, I've held it. Jeez, I can't speak. I feel like

I really enjoy I'd love to hear people's thoughts on does it sound that much different when we're not in the pod room and do we change because I feel we become much more relaxes if we're just all sitting together

I know we're relaxing in the pod room but it's kind of work it's like when we did it at earlier that time but I do miss having the headphones I like you know in that I do it gets you a bit more into in the zone

yeah well anyway this was our zone tonight wasn't it you got um on so obviously we've got the final on sunday final on sunday yeah watch it skivar or oh that would be really nice if you were around do we know what the right here is oh are you darling i'm here but i probably won't be around no that's fair enough maybe no it's late isn't it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but yeah maybe we'll see we'll see you've got a fun thing on sunday haven't you it's an orban's pub in the park. It sounds so good, it'll. Been invited.

St. Auburn's Music. Well, they do Friday night. So it's like Friday it starts at Five-Bish. Then Saturday they do the day and then they do an evening one. Friday they've got like Disney Rascal. Really? Saturday. They've got Daniel Bedinfield.

Sold out Oh right Oh, like, I'm sold out. Oh, what a shame. But I said to Maria, next year, it's really lovely, and it's up the road, and we could have a lovely day out. Really nice. I suppose a little bit like, what's the one that finish that you've been doing on?

Obviously, you haven't got that anymore. So they've got that anymore. Yeah, but it's all like food festivals as well, so there's loads of... It's all food. It's all, yeah, pub in the park. It'll be interesting. I said, see how it is, and that's one to remember for next year. Absolutely.

So you can get us a little stage or something, do a little pod. You're cracking, wouldn't it, to do a little pod. You say that. Those of people do the live pods. I mean, let's see how this year goes. Let's see how the other pods go first, eh? News in coming about that soon as well. I say it every week, but it's all getting there.

Things are hot enough. I feel like everything's just going to happen at once, isn't it? Yeah, it is. It's all going to happen. Nice, though. It's exciting. Absolutely. About time.

Lovely. Natalie's going to look after the baby when I get my nails done, aren't you? I am, done. Tomorrow. or Wednesday. Wednesday morning I think it's going to be best. That's all right. I've got to be owned by one,

aren't I? Yeah, it's all right. I've only got to get my hands down. I mean, what is happening there? Don't. What is going on? I've got mine done tonight. Lovely.

I was meant to have mine done. Look at those. Yeah, it's not bad though. They've done well. They're better than mine. Yours are appalling. What is going on, I snap that in the, you know, when you're doing the buckle of the baby's thing,

I put my finger in and went and it just the whole thing came off. Oh dear. Do you know what? My antibiotics. Oh yeah. How are they going? Not great They don't make me feel very well

I get home I have quite heavy nostrils Couldn't say it to a worse a person. I have my lasers. You have them lasers? Yeah. But then if you don't have nostrils, isn't that bad? I mean, nostril hairs.

Well, I guess it's probably there to protect. I think all hair is there for a reason. That's what I mean. I have to remember sometimes. Don't know, because we're animals, aren't we? We're mammals, so over the years, the hair's got less. But I think it is there for a reason. Up your nose, maybe like to protect death.

down there, particles, stuff like that. Yeah, get rid of it. Gotted. Brilliant. Well, we have to now organise what we're doing over the next couple of days, thank you so much for listening. I hope you have a fantastic weekend. And love you, girls.
