To just in case you lose it No, it's not. Oh, I know. So it just goes. Oh, yes. He's devastating. But I just posted the M&S Bull Bulls. Couldn't believe it.

What? I haven't seen it. I think they may have been listening to the pod. That's wild. It is a vionetta, isn't it? Oh, the vionetta. You ain't got one of you. Little prezie for you both.

That is so weird. How weird is that? I bought the. That is brilliant The minute I saw them But it's not going to go on my tree It doesn't fit in with my colour scheme It's bigger than my tree

It goes with the colour scheme of the house That's perfect Listen if you don't want it I really would like three on my tree So I'm happy to sort of You can give them back to me Yeah I think they've been listening How mad is that

Look at even That's very well done But how mad is that I post we posted it on that's nieces Did they? I did earlier No I did It made me laugh

It made me laugh I thought those about Well they came about a week ago Anything else Anything else? Oh you didn't go in You wasn't in store No

Someone sent me the link to those And I just bought three immediately That is brilliant I'll keep it I would like to use it If I don't You can have it on your tree Why would you not use it?

Because mine's a little tree I've got my own little vibe going on I don't have my big tree at the moment Do I so I've got no room But it's perfect for all my kitsch stuff I'm going to keep it. I really like it, thank you. I'll put mine, like, around the back.

We can't really see it. Like all the other ones, Natalie Weiss me. That's like. Oh, you could just give them back to me if you like. No, but that's really weird. That is proper Unagi. Nagy, that is. Nagy, all naugie.

Very good. But it must, is it me then? It must be my algorithm because all I keep seeing is Christmas stuff. No, no, mine's not that bad. It's just people dancing in penguin outfits. It's a for Liz Navidad. Oh, yeah, I'm not ready, guys. You're not earlier?

Nah. Not yet. Why? I'm still sort of hoping we might get a few warm days. Oh, no. Oh, I'm over it. I'd like a crisp day. Yeah, like the other morning.

It was beautiful. Yeah, I don't need rain. The rain's ag. Crisp mornings, crisp day. Are you all right? Oh, very tired. That's wrong with you two? I don't know.

I'm tired. This room, we need something in the... I was really pumped when I got here. I'm really pumped today. Yeah, but I feel like I've not been in here for aging. It does. I feel like a long time. It's because the last one we did was at your mums.

Oh, yeah. That is why. Too long, really. I was able to be available this evening. You're very welcome, guys. I can't want to get round to a bit more often, to be honest. I know people hate us. Some people, I mean, there's some people that are sending me gift ideas for things.

Who? Our fans, our followers. Oh. I thought you meant like in the family. No. In cheek of you. I'll ruby a few more bits. Oh, my God.

I had a good idea the other day that I was going to ask someone to get me. What was it? You must write down earlier. You've got to write these things down. It was something house related. Oh, that's so annoying. You must write it down.

If you think, write it a note on your phone. It's so important. Well, listen, as we're talking about all this stuff, oh, I think I'm finally caught up on the podcast. I was a bit behind over summer. So kids are back to school. and I think I've finally caught up loving it, loving it as always. I've got an idea, a question for Nat's nieces.

Could we have a, what's it called, like a gift guide buying ideas for Christmas, for all ages, like kids, I know you do like a all by one sort of more expensive thing for people. so ideas like that. Obviously, you get loads online and on Instagram, but they're always, you know, they're always ad or sponsored or whatever. So it would be really nice just to get some ideas, some like little stocking filler ideas for the kids.

Oh, you've come to the wrong place. And I'm not being funny, but like starting now, because I don't, I mean, I imagine you're all similar, but I stock up on bits now because it's too much money otherwise. So just, I think you girls would be absolutely cracking a little gift guide for Christmas. I mean we would be. We are. No, we are.

No, that is such a lovely idea and we should do that. Maybe we'll get looking. Well, as we buy things and stuff, we can let you guys know. No, but we're not going to do that, are we? Because people listen to the pod and we're going to give all of our present ideas away. I'm talking about for the children. Oh, yeah, for the kids. No, our stuff.

I are stockings, but it's not the North Poir. You know what I mean? We are a bit elf-like. But this is the first year that I have started this early. And I find Alfie quite hard, his age. Ruby's easy. She's into anything dull-like, anything little babies, Barbies. But Alfie's at the point now where it's like he's got so much.

They all have so much. But for girls, there's just more variety of something else. I think we should ask, actually. I know that you want our help, but let's ask. We've got six-year-old little boy. He likes his gaming, doesn't he? He likes imaginative play, dinosaurs. I am actually going to get him a wrestling ring.

I like that idea. With the wrestlers. Yeah, really good. Yeah, you like that. And he actually said about it the other day, although he doesn't watch it. But yeah, maybe if everyone were to send some ideas, then we can put and put some stuff on the Instagram. I mean, what would be. The Instagram.

The Instagram. What would be amazing and I don't like to say things that we're not going to do? because we don't do anything. But wouldn't it be lovely if we went out for the day and took some content, got some ideas and then we could share it. I would really love to do that. That could be fun.

I'm free in about mid-November. Well, it's quite late. I know, but I'm free. Yeah, I can be available. I think that would be really lovely. That could be quite fun. But even if we just went somewhere local and just went to a toy shop, you know.

Yeah, exactly. We could have a local one as well, definitely. But I'm like, it's even for me, the Advent calendar. I mean, I was looking for Advent Caliders today. as well. What do you mean looking for? You walk into Tescos and they're there.

Are they there? Oh really? And Marx is? Yeah, but not chocolate one, like toy ones. Oh, yeah. It's a minefield. Just get a toy. Just get them a chocolate.

No, they don't like it, Elia. They like the toys. Wow. You've created it. You've created monsters. We have. No, we do. We all create it.

I wonder what Advent can. I'm going to get this year. I'm going to fuck all again. But we could do a little advent special. We should do an event special. We're going to do it last year. Okay, we must do that. All right, loads of things to do.

There's lots and lots of Christmassy things to do, but first on the list that's Christmasy is, shut down. General sale is tomorrow. Pre-sale is today. So 11 a. 8m. This morning. And how's it gone?

No. We don't know. There's a complicated thing that we do. No, at least Ellie has kept up to date with the timings and, I mean. Well, I don't know what, I'm confused, didn't know what day. it was, I was thinking about the show and Elia's role in the show and Emma just got it to a tea

we were just going through and she went well you could just be like is Elia here or not she don't give her fuck where is she? Does she know what they it is? And then she could be on the stage going I need a drink I'm going and you can just walk off she said like that's her role

I said that is excellent. Sounds good to me and I could maybe just on FaceTime couple on a couple of oh my God I can't speak On a couple of occasions Well at least you've got something What am I going to do?

I won't be wearing a unicorn costume guide, so get that out of your head. And I will still not have a shoe cap lit. No, we've got some very, very good ideas that we are not going to discuss on the pod. It's all going to be a secret. As it should be.

Fantastic. Speaking of unicorns, we had a message from Nicola who said, I've just been to the theatre and couldn't wait to message my mates and tell them about how good it was. I thought they won't believe I've just seen an inflatable unicorn swimming ring on the stage,

not to mention of all the references to the Ultimate Huns, they name dropped Sonia from EastEnders. They're going to love hearing all about this. Then I realised the friends I need to tell are on the pod. I actually wondered if anyone else in the audience felt the same. Are they also podders? Anyway, never underestimate how much you have an impact on the lives of your listeners. And I highly recommend you to all go and watch here and now, the Steps Musical.

Such a feel good night out. Love the pod, Nick from Salford. Oh, lovely. Thank you, Nick. What a nice message. People are stealing things. There are Vienette. A bulb was being made.

There are unicorns on stages. I think we are, we are, secret influences. Talking of theatre shows, sorry, just quickly. Yeah, yeah. I went on Saturday out with my best friends. We haven't been out in ages. We're starting to celebrate the old 40s. Mine's not for a long time, don't worry.

We had touch a good time and we went to go and see Titanic. Right. Oh my goodness. All I've heard is a load of camping. We need to go. Is it good? Elia, you would love it. Natalie, it is hilarious.

Is it? The woman that plays Celine Dion has got all her mannerisms, but it's just all really... So it's that a piss take? It's a piss take. So it's the premise of the film? It's about the film, but it's all very camp, very flamboyant. It's all a bit crude. It's a piss take.

It, like, there was like nods to extenders, so I'm... Like all that. Yeah, yeah. And it was so funny. If anyone's seen it, let me know what you thought of it. And if you haven't, I would highly recommend it. It's just a real. I have to try and do it.

Oh, really good crack. Oh, that's good. We went to see Coldplay, didn't we, darling, last week? We haven't spoken about it. Was it good? Yeah. It was life affirming. It was really breathtakingly incredible.

Really? Yeah. It was breathtaking. Like I actually, a couple of points I weld up. Because you just have to stand there and the way they've put on this show the thought behind the lights because you've all got lights on.

Just the show in general. I know when it got dark, the different decorations they had come down, planets and... And the music is just beautiful. Like, yeah, I mean, we love their music. But also he did a bit where he had like an alien head on. So it's all a little bit weird.

They all come out with these alien heads on. And then he started signing. in the song and it was just so I don't know it just gets you in like a really feel good just amazing just that sort of everybody is there and together and united

and it just felt really good a lot of people asked about your cups what the silver cups sick weren't they yeah what is it all how weird is that because she's gone to me I'd like those in the kitchen I said no you were no I didn't I said

oh I could quite take this home with me you went on that in your new kitchen I said no but even as like a glass of water to take to bed. You're not going to stay cold. You're not going to do that. You're not going to have those at home. But they were, when I say our hands, we were freezing.

So what are they obviously sustainable? Yeah. Yeah, reusable. Brilliant. They were really good. And we had some nice drinks, weren't they? Lovely, those gin and tonics, weren't they? Very large.

Yeah. They were a pint of gin. In fact, we sent a selfie to Tony. And we did. And said, we're just at Coldplay having a Tony size gym. And he was not, I'm having one. too. No, it was good.

It was, yeah, excellent. Great getting up there. Easy, isn't it? Easy. It was really, really good. Yeah, love it. Apart from the umbrella. Oh, weird.

Well, you haven't even re-for, discuss that scenario. So we get out the cab and it's starting to rain. And I did ask Natalie to bring just a small umbrella, but she didn't. Well, she'd bring a golf umbrella. No, it gets better. It gets better. So she's, no, I didn't bring an umbrella. So I'm like, I'm like, I.

Fuck my life. I said, I'm going to run into ASDA and get one. She was like, Timpsons. She kept saying Timpsons. I'm like, because we got dropped at the ASDA. And I'm like, I said, I'm going to, she went, no, we'll get it from Timpsons. I was like, I don't think that they're going to sell umbrellas. And I said, I don't want to go all the way into Azda now.

I mean, he wasn't all the way. We were outside the shop. You know me, impatient. I said, no, look, Timpsons is here. So there's a guy out stood outside Timpsons. And she just like swings the door open. He's like, what are you doing, love? He's six o'clock.

Properly go at me. I said, come on, it's raining, get it's an umbrella, mate. I said, please. And he's like, oh, right, okay. But he was, he was on the phone. He was like, I'm on the phone. And then he had some, like, cakes, like, school cakes. We were like, oh, they look nice.

He's like, yeah, they're for my daughter. All right, but he was having a laugh. So then he only's got these massive umbrellas. But it looked cracking. Then we were fighting over who was going to keep it. So I was like that. What, did they tempt someone? No, I don't know.

It was just a black umbrella. A golf umbrella, nice one. But what, they sell them? Why, yeah, have it? No, no, they do sell them. They sell them. Then there's like three people behind us trying to get in the shop. So I'm like, we've, poor bloke was ready to go home and now he's got a queue.

Anyway, we've got the umbrella. It's 15. For free. 15 quid. Oh, good, not like me. You've got a freebie from the old Timson man. No, I know, the old shoe polish. No, then we go to walk out, didn't he?

Oh, he went mad, didn't he? Oh, my God. He's, after a lecture 10 minutes. He's so yeah. He actually had one. He was such a nice bloke. He was like, Like on the phone, it's like, I've got to go, I've got to go.

I heard something about Timpsom workers. Yeah. Is that correct? Yes, I think, yeah, yeah, it is. I believe so. Mark loves this story, but aren't most Timps and workers, haven't they been to prison? Yes, they are. I believe.

I don't know if that's all of them. I know. Neither do I. I'm really, again. It's just something I've heard. But I do. No, I think they're just inclusive of hiring. Yeah, yeah, like helping people get back on your feet.

Yeah, excellent. Yes, brilliant. Anyway, we got the umbrella, 15 quid, got the umbrella. It was a six-minute walk to the turnstile. And we get into the turnstile and they say, you can't take that in. You're not allowed to hold it. I said, I'm not going to put it up. No, no, because it's metal and it's large.

That has to stay here and be confiscated. No, so you paid 15 pounds for a six-minute walk. I mean, it was pissing down, so it was needed. because this one rocked up like she was walking, going to Sainsbury's. And... Yeah, but that was like Saturday with the girls. I've come out of Oxford Circus. When I say torrential rain, I had an umbrella because I'm sensible, but I thought even...

I don't own an umbrella. That might have been the gift idea. Put it on the list. I asked that last year for you. You said, I ain't a fucking umbrella for a Christmas present. What a load of all shit? I said, how about a nice design umbrella? Oh, that's the best of a disgusting gift.

present i've ever heard an umbrella for christmas was fucking better than when you bought me a shit cutlery set fucking oh cutlery oh lovely you bought me cutlery as well once what is that that year i shit out big time i was fuming this one's like designing these designed lovely perfect oh maria oh let's spoil because maria and i get fucking cutlery and it weren't even two lots of the stuff so i got six or something. Not even 12. So ungrateful. Honestly,

you better up your game this year. You've all got kids now. Your presents are going down. Sorry. Kids have got loads of stuff. I need stuff. So the first year with a kid, but these sort of had it for six years.

Lovely. Fucking sounds about right. Like when everyone goes, oh, should we stop doing presents this year for us and we'll just buy for the kids? Oh, yeah. I've been doing it for you for 10 years. And now you're...

Oh, what are your thoughts on this, people? What are your thoughts on this? No, I've got... I know, but you can't measure in love. No, but you can't do it when I've just had a kid. I'm happy to buy you a present. It's a disgrace is what it is. I still want a present.

Don't bite for him. He's going to get loads. And also, it's too little to understand. Exactly. I'll get you something nice. A very good one that I've heard from a couple of people. Go on. And I like this.

Go on. They have a budget per family. So as a, as in me and Maria would say, right, well, let's say our budget. is £100 pounds. Yeah. You split that between your however many. Three. There's three, one, two, three.

Three of you? Fine, not problems. There's not four, mate. Don't mug me off. Yeah. Okay. Natalie. Although no, you're,

no, that's not. So how's this working? And Lisa and Don, four of them. No, because I'm saying, if you're a family of five. Yeah, £100, £25 a person? No, that's four. It's $20 a person. 20 quid a person.

20 pounds a person if they were five. Oh, Carol Vordeman's on the deck. That is four of them? No. 25 pound? Yes, but you said five. What I'm saying is it goes for accounts. If you're a single person and you're buying for all of your family and then all of them are just buying for you, well, no, it should be the same amount.

Yeah. So then if it's 100, if it's 200 quid on a family of four, then that family of four spend $200 pound on that individual person. But you don't give to a receipt. No, no. I think what you're fine, that 85% of people here would say it's absolutely obscene that you're, even talking about how much money you're spending. No, no, no. I'm not being a gift.

No, but I'm not saying as, oh, it's got to be this much money. But I also, then if you're a person on your own and you're buying for all of those, that's a lot. And then they... But then I guess you just don't spend a lot on each person. I'm talking family. I'm not talking about friends and stuff like that. I just think you've got to give what you can afford.

And it's not about giving to receiving. It's just like it's a nice gift. Some people like to be lavish. Some people like to do more sentimental. I agree. No, I'm just like money in the car. I just thought that was quite a nice idea. You know, like if people were like, oh, I don't know,

and I don't want to overspend on that one and I feel bad, then it's quite a nice way of everyone not feeling that. Sitting the budgets and then stick to it and then everyone feels like they're all on the same. Because there is nothing worse sometimes when you get loads back and you think, oh, fuck my life. Yeah, like last year, I've spent a lot on you. Oh, my God. No, I treated her last year, didn't I?

Would you get me last year? The Louvre candle Yeah I don't think it I saw it And I just had to lie it I haven't lit it though But that's why I'm

When it comes to Christmas shopping I shouldn't really go out Because I see things But also then they're the best gift They're the best gift When you walk round Like gifty gifts That you'll never buy yourself

That's what it should be And I saw it didn't I know I was with you No you found me I was with Jack And I was like I've got to get it But what do you do You just don't light it

It's sad isn't it Yeah That makes me Yeah you got to light it it, what you're doing. Because it's beautiful. But it is the shape you're going to lose it. I know.

Beautiful. It's basically, for listeners, it's a candle that is the shape of a candelabra, like a small candelabra. So it's made of wax, the whole thing. So, yeah. It's a base. Yeah, it's really beautiful. And then they said, and then you can buy the base for, because I was thinking,

oh, what does it sit on? Yeah, I do need a base. Yeah, go and buy yourself one 50 quid for the base. You get me for Christmas. here, and you can now get almost anything you need for your sunny days delivered with Uber eats. What do we mean by almost?

Well, as we're talking about it, someone here, Carly, said,

I love Christmas and mince pies are my fave, but this is crazy. Mint's pies in Sainos, the first week of September. She said they were out. Babe, it's Sainos. Sainos. Sinos. So if you buy them, the islands of Sainos, do you remember? Yes, we do remember.

So do they stay in date? Why are you shouting? I don't know. Fucking L. That loud? I feel very excited. Calm down. Go back to your miserable self.

Calm down, rain. It's all good over here. Just a bit of banter. Rain is going to be free. No, don't turn me down. I can't hear myself now. No, we need you to. No, I can't hear in my earphone.

That's a turn you down a little bit. Sorry, but I can't hear. All right. You moan when I'm Eel, you moan when I'm Tigger. I can't fucking win. I like both. I like your both face. Yeah, do they last?

So if you buy mince pies now, they have a sell-by date. They don't last till Christmas. I think some do, yeah. But again, it's sort of like hot cross bands. If you like to have a hot cross bun once a week, like you would a scone or a crumpy. hit or a pan. I'm not with you. I'm sorry.

I think they should be for times of the year. No, I know. It's too accessible. We can't have that. We should. Who wants some minced pie in July? But then you should be out all the time.

But then you should be eating strawberries now. Till next summer. I can stick that in your pipe and also. It's hard being in the industry. Like now they've got a forecast. Mint's pies from this time of year. It's mad. You're making everyone's jobs a lot harder.

Yeah, I'll find that. Do you know? Four clock. I can't believe they've got a forecast and do their budget. I see, where they phoned me up and like, have you forecasted them in the space? What are you talking about? Someone's fucking been at work today. What are you forecasting?

What have you been doing today? I'd love to know. Like, what have you done today that you can... I've changed four nappies. I've been to soft play. We did some walking and some tummy time. No, we didn't do tummy time. Well, I do.

Is it for spring now? No, I can't, I don't want to talk about it. No, but is it for, no, I'm, I, no, I'm, no, I'm, I'm fully immersed in autumn winter. Oh, you are all, fully immersed in autumn winter. Oh, fair enough. AW, AW, A, W-W-25, A-W-2-5, we've got leathers, we've got cheques, it's very, traitors. It's very, it's very, no, the adverts are out for the, someone, sorry, sorry, just quickly, someone has asked if I can do some styling ticks. Oh, here. She goes, pop her into her 40, put her in the spotlight.

I'd like to see it, please. I mean, I've been asking Maria to style me for the last fucking seven years. I'm still wearing the same sweatshirts and the same leggings with the trainers. Not the same ones, but style. When you go shopping, I'll stall you. Oh, you're wearing that jumper that Natalie bought us both for Christmas, that mine's fucked. Ruined. About a month later, ruined.

What oil? Oil. Someone said, oh, rub some. We've got the wipes. Use the wipes. No, this was in sort of maybe Feb. It was maybe six weeks old. That's a real shame to hear it.

I'm gutted. In fact, I'm annoyed and I'm looking at it. Can I ask you where the jumper is now? Oh, I just rubbed, as I was told, rub the liquid in, rub it all in, then get the vanish granules and rub it in, put it in said washing machine, got it out, and it's just yellow spots. Can I ask you now wear it? Just hanging in my wardrobe.

I will wear that like that. So you, I don't. No, I will. Okay. So buy me a new one? If you're not going to wear it. Yep. I'll have it to her.

Yep. 170 pounds. It's like the pellets on all over it then. Oh, I'm really upset about that. It is a real shame. About what? My jumper. Oh, you're fine.

We'll get you one for Christmas. Sorry, can we just go silent? So, yes, when I have five minutes, I would really love to sit there and I'll put some bits on Instagram about what the big deals are for autumn winter. I would like that. But yeah. Natalie was taking the piss because I was debriefing her downstairs

but it is think very Claudia British quintessential British British? British Empire British Legion Traitors Checks Was that not last year

Boring That was same last year No it wasn't Actually Are you sure Maybe I think it was Because Natalie was trying to be very Claudia last year

Yes I started it albeit I'm watching it like in bed going to sleep so I keep falling asleep and I'm like, is it that good? No, it ain't great but the point is all of these shows everybody's gone

we would like a show like the traitors please you put them all on and it's all just versions of but I'm here for it because I love them trying to be to seat but I always think how would I be if I was in that could I do it? Would I melt?

While we're on telly, one of the best things that I saw last way. Day five of the heartburn. No, it's really right. What accent is that? Day five. Big brother. Day five of the heartburn.

Dear five. Maria is on fire. She goes to the diary. That's better to talk about her heartburn. You sound like Google Box. I'm too. Craig Cash. I was going to say royal families,

that sort of makes sense. I'd say the best thing that I watched last week, aside from Steve McFadden, of course that was wonderful, beautiful, really, really lovely. I posted it all over my Instagram. I'm so proud of him. Have you, did you text him? Yes, I did.

Oh, it was amazing. However, Wallace and Gromit. No, I can't go. I can't get it. I'm, where it is. The best thing. I just the, she doesn't even know what's going on. Yeah, no, I don't.

She's got an award. No, I have the outstanding. Special recognition. Wallace and Gromit. And it's just, it is just so. That's plaster scene. No, but he, Nick Parker has done that, right? he was so young when he started doing that it's amazing but i can't believe how long it's been

around for and for me what i love is that alfi loves it the one that come out the last one i mean that was brilliant 22 million people watched that it's incredible incredible and even like things like alfie will go cheese grommet but if he has cheese he always does it cheese grommet oh that was never liked um wallison grommett who mine my kids joanie me and joni watched it though didn't me the new one bit of it um that i should have done the question one of the only connect was robot dog the awful penguin and it was and you had to link all of them and it was wallace and grommits what's the word enemies yeah villains oh villains so good oh is that what it is oh excellent very very good yeah so what was that

what you were saying what was that the best thing you watch yeah yeah loved it i wanted to tell you about a show that i found and now i can't find it which is a real shame could you know Sorry. Could you help me? Oh, your skin looks great. Really? Yeah. It's because I've done nothing to it, probably.

Don't cleanse it at night. I've just got really lazy. Oh, really? Yeah. Mine's not good. When you say, can I help you in what respect? In what regard? I really want you to watch this program.

Well, we need to know what it is. Because I am not one usually for this sort of thing. Billion. playground Oh, I've What is it? Oh, you've got to watch it I mean, I don't watch

this sort of thing But I was that one night Isn't it about to buy? No, it's Australian Oh I don't know if they could have them all over I don't know if they do them everywhere It's Australian,

you and your mum No, your mum If she doesn't watch this programme What is it? Oh, I think I've got something wrong Billionaires Billionaires Yeah

There's a great, They go to different houses And within the house There is staff So the game is Oh, it's a game No, it's not what I'm thinking. Not really a game.

I haven't watched enough of them, basically. She's watched the first 20 minutes. She's done what it is. No, billionaires come in on helicopters or whatever, and they have to make their weekend the best it can be. And you've got the waiting staff, the one who's organising it, the chefs. Brilliant. And it's about them in a house.

It is. And I bet they're still criticising. They're all criticising everything. And it's like, we've got to get the best things. But it's just obscenely good to watch. Oh, I'd love to do that. How do I watch it? Where do I watch it?

BBC IP. player it's on but it's Australian and then they're all one of them seeing what you know the staff start one of them seeing one of them and then they've got the aunt with each other and then they go back to the

quarters and they're all gossiping and the pressure to try and succeed for the family the billionaires that are there for the weekends oh it's not what I thought it's just a load of trash but brilliant all right love it what made you watch that it was just on

I don't know I finished something it was on I was waiting for Mark to get in one night it was really late and I ended up watching about three of them. Oh, but you haven't watched it since.

I haven't watched it since. And you won't. You won't watch them. Do you don't think? No. I really enjoyed it. You didn't do it

when you was doing a pod about TV, let alone now. Yeah. I just don't really put the telly on. I don't know that now though.

I don't really put the tele on. I don't watch. I'll just put things. I watch more things on my phone, I think. Yeah. If I'm washing up around the kitchen I don't know because it's hard to

When do you watch TV? Unless I'm mining I have to say one thing But in bed I don't do it anymore And I'm not just saying this Because I promise you this is a truth Yes I have done the extra slice show Which is on soon

But I did actually look forward To the bakeoff coming on a Tuesday night And I wanted to watch it I like yeah it's autumnal It begins my autumn I said this before There's certain things that I will make sure I watch Bake-off, I love.

It's hard. If I'm not watching stuff in bed, especially now because of the book club, I'm trying to read the book. Oh, guys, I haven't read the book. Well, of course you haven't read the book, Elliot. I haven't had time. It's all right.

We're going to have to change it, though, from Nat's Niece's book dreams or something. Maz! Maz! I know. Yeah, people are not, people are enjoying it, are they? I've had some positive. Some people are.

Yeah. I'm not into all biographies. Well, I was messaging Neo about this earlier. because she put a post up and a lot of people did say that they can't get into it and there's the thing with autobiographies if you don't...

I don't know, it's interesting I don't know I only know him really from shooting stars I was obsessed with that otherwise I've got no real interest laughing I just think his age

the way he talks about things I just find it quite I don't know the way he won't talk about it too much because we'll talk about it on book club But just the way he writes it, I just feel like I can really live it and he's just his memory.

Like, I don't know, it fascinates me. And one thing I will say, oh no, do you know what? I'm going to say it for the pub. But yeah, anyway. Saving it for the pod. That is dad. Fucking strange, what it is. Do a little video.

Save it. It's like granddad. That is granddad sitting there. Save it. Save it for the book. That is weird. Saving it for the book pod. Jesus.

Let's reiterate, we're doing a live show. We're doing a live show. What if no one buys a ticket? Well, this is what I was going to say. Can you imagine what we're going to do? Because it's a pre-sale today. Do you think someone will call me up? Can I phone the theatre and say, can you have any people?

We've got to find out. Could we phone them up? Because that is going to be embarrassing. Surely there'll be something. I don't think you need to phone them. I think maybe it's just all online. No, I'm not going to. No, of course, but you, whoever's organising it.

Do you think so? Yeah, they'll be able to... But then because I've not done it before, do I sound like a right twirp going... I just wondered how many tickets I've sold today. No, I mean... If you don't sell out on day one, I've all mug you right off.

Yeah, me too. And you've already lost four tickets because we're in the show. So that's... I know five mark. Do you reckon people we know will come? Hopefully not. I really hope not.

I think there'll be a few people. people should support us but also don't feel like you have to I'll send you a little video if I decide to turn up you need to slow down it's just a lot it is a lot but I'm not going to make anybody do

anything they don't want to I don't want to know I'll be all right I'll be nearly little freeze should have dry mouth should be me I'll be me you'll be saving me I had an idea actually

not I'm not going to say to tell you now but remind me tell you um i am yeah it's yeah just be nice be kind but everyone there is going to just want to see us and have fun okay and it's christmas excellent i'm gonna get hammered yeah so yeah absolutely fine someone here said just to say i've come back from the traitor's immersive experience what it's so good at times i was so nervous get the cassidy clan to go you'll love it we should do that why don't we do it for my birthday yeah lovely and i don't mean this in a bad way

but I'm kind of pinning my hopes that I might get to do the real one maybe we could all go on it us three but it could get us on there no because it's a celebrity one my love but maybe you two could do the normal one as sisters you said that the first time it

come out yeah we do you never did no our traitors call us you never went up for it it would have been brilliant I think it would have been and they had them sisters on the last one who lovely ladies but you were useless maybe we could Don't do it, auntie and... Lovely ladies, but you are useless.

They were, they were shit. Bring them up and knock them down. Why don't you come on the normal one with us? I'm happy with that because I'm normal anyway. People might think we've got a game plan. We might go... We'll get her out. Can you imagine these two with me? I'll be out.

You know where you get the train at the beginning? And they're like, you've got to go. I'd be the first one, won't I? I'll step off. I'll do it. She'll go, no, I want you two to have the experience. I'll go, you two do it. It would be like, bye!

See ya! So true. So true. Oh, God. It's funny, right. I've got a message. Hang on. Hang on a minute.

Get yours up ready, because I must mention a couple of things. So, so excited for the live show. I've got a big birthday on the first of December. and my daughter keeps asking me for gift ideas. Well, problem solved. I've sent her the link and the pre-book code. Just keeping my fingers crossed now. Can't wait from Joe.

How lovely, she's asked for it. Hi, Nat. Thank you for organising a live show. I can't wait. I just hope I can get tickets. My husband doesn't know yet, but he's going to come with me. He does sometimes listen with me to you, especially the ones with Mark. Our children are growing up and growing up now, 21, 19 and 17.

So we're able to get out on our own, which is lovely. And what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than coming along to see you from Nicola? That's cute. What time is it? Two. Oh, lovely. And that's cute.

Yeah, you can have like a little date. That little date day. It's great. Yeah, I bet all the men can't wait. Just have a few beers and ride it out. You'd be fine. There's been quite a lot of people, and I will say, they listen and they don't have any friends that listen.

Really? Quite a lot. And they've said they're worried about, coming on their own, don't worry about that. Everyone will be friendly, light-minded, and one of the first things I'll do is, who's on their own tonight, and we've got to look after you on. I think, Naomi, she's going to group some people up. Yeah, she's going to be fine.

It will be absolutely fine. You'll be a good chance to get out and meet some new friends. And Andrea made me feel really good about it, and she said, so excited about the live show, I know you are really nervous, but honestly, you will be in a room with 700 friends who are there as part of a community to support you. doesn't have to be perfect just do what you do on the pod I bet it sells out on the pre-sale too

from Andrea I mean it is true can't sell out on the pre-sale can it? I don't know how it works no no no you got to give everyone a chance yeah how do you get onto the pre-sale

the link's in my bio but on this episode you'll pop up the What do you mean what makes you eligible for the pre-sale if you listen to this and I am putting it up on Insta and stuff.

Oh, fine. But the code, the LWN-25, is really strictly for the listeners of the pod. Well, I think the only people come in will be hopefully just listeners. You say that, you might get a few. Where's your twin pet? That'll be us. It's Philly. That'll be us.

It's Philly. We're going to handle you. Where's well on? You ain't my mother. So I reckon we could have a few Easties fans We'll be lucky if we get the people That listen to the pod to come

Let alone anyone else Oh don't What are we going to do? Is there a good bar? In the venue? Yeah And I'm doing a little personal meet and greet as well For a few lucky ones

Are you? Yeah How do you determine that? Over to everybody else But there's a little personal meet and greet Only for a very small number of people Lovely So, yeah, where they get to meet us.

Lucky them. Can I just say that Nio, Bex, like loads of listeners are coming to my book launch as well soon. Then where? Where? Where? Where is the new venue? Where is it?

I don't know. She doesn't know. It's painful. So sorry, just to firm up, was it meant to be in the book no. No, it was never going to write. That's what I was confused. So where was it? it wasn't ever meant to be in the booknip

I think there might have been a little garden or something I'm not sure because I was like it's going to be about five people in here right at the booknook garden right so it was tiny yeah they've moved it now

fine so the priory how many peeps I don't know can I let that hey what's the date 9th of October 9th of October

9th of October but I think what day is that Thursday the third day um okay yeah Excellent.

You're all going to be there and we're going to have a great time. What do you need me to sign babes? Um, my asshole. I mean, what on earth are we talking about here?

I was just having a joke. People go, if people are fans of the pod are at the book launch, they might want to sign the book. We've had some messages, don't worry. Everyone wants to meet us.

We're going to mug you right off. No, but can I say that you should actually save yourselves a little bit for the live shows, I would. Just say, save ourselves, there's something to save. Save our, what do you mean? Just nice, isn't it? No. I'm not going to be there. You keep saying this, stop it.

To be fair, we probably won't be at the book thing anyway. Oh, no, I'm joking. That's nice and local and easy. No, we can't wait. It's going to be fun. We can't wait to meet you all. Speaking of where, I had another little encounter with a man in a van. the other day.

Oh, lovely. I don't understand why people don't understand sort of driving etiquettes and, you know, just driving. Came out of Tesco's to turn right. There's cars all parked. Yeah. On the other side of the road. Always.

It's the standard. Yeah. I wait. A car comes. The cars that are currently waiting on the other side of the road are just coming, coming, coming, coming. So I thought, well, if I just still sit in

So I thought, no. So I've gone forward, forward, forward till this man in the van has, I've sort of, you know, I'm being a dick now but you can see that I'm there. You can't just keep coming, fucking wait.

So he's, he's gone through and he's gone, all right, love, it's only a van. I went, yeah, and a fucking prick driving one. I was so raging. And then he's having to go out of me that I'm in the wrong.

Hang on, were there cars on your side of the wrong? You can't get out, you can't see. No, no, I got out, I was out, but I couldn't drive because on the left-hand side of the road, there's cars, yeah. There's no cars parked. On the right-hand side, there's cars parked, but all them cars are just coming through. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. He was so rude, and then he's having to go at me, going, don't you know how to drive? I was already going. I said, no, you weren't going. And he weren't letting off. And I thought, right, if you want to get out, we can have a word.

But else, I need to teach you about my new obsession. What is it? Is it so anything that deal with these absolute dicks? Yes, because it just happened to me as I was driving to Natalie's tonight. Oh, you've gone, the corner, there's a corner, and I'm driving, and the delivery, I don't know what it was. Is in the middle of the road? No, it's just pulled up on the corner. You can't do that on a corner.

I see what you're so dangerous. Yes. And then I've got to try and get around you, but it's a corner. So I'm teaching you. I'm obsessed. with Mel Robbins, let them theory. Just let them. It's so true.

Just let them. Just don't even lose an ounce of stress. If they want to do that, just let them. That's what I do now. With him today, I could have bibbed. I'll just let him. Yeah, but that's why. It does make you feel better.

It's so much better. But that's why I like with the other, the previous, what's the word, victim? I'm what I'm going to call them now. I just said, are you okay? Is everything all right? Yeah, exactly. Just let them. Exactly.

Don't call me. But it does piss me. No, but I say, thank you. It just annoys me. I know, but we have to, honestly, you've got to adopt that theory. Is that just in the car or is that in life? No, in life. In life.

If someone wants to do something, just let them. Keep listening. I am. Keep listening. I am. I need to. It's good for you. It's good for me.

Yeah. I'm just, if that's, I would say that I would say that I'm, I would say sort of 95% of me is just let them. But the car feels me with rage. No, I know. But then next time, just go, just let them. Okay, I'll give it a go. Probably tomorrow.

I even give them a little wave and a smile. Yeah, I can do that. Wanted to just say happy birthday to Matt Payner, who is 50 tomorrow. Listener of the pod, friend of Marks. A very happy birthday to you, Matt. Happy birthday. How can I just say that I saw a little video and Matt works at the racing, horse races.

Yeah. And the commentator went and we're just going to come around here and it's Matt's birthday. He's celebrating his 50th. And then someone goes, oh, he looks like he's eating a jockey. And I was like, that is so rude. What does that mean? That he's eating a jockey.

They're saying he's a little bit rotund. I thought I can't believe that. No, they didn't. They did. What? But why? Yes. Like, happy birthday, Matt. Oh, yeah, we are filming jockeys. He looks like he's eaten one. Anyway. It's not even funny. I don't know. That's crazy. But happy eating a horse would have been funnier. Possibly. Yeah. Because you say I'm going to have been a horse. Yeah. Scabby horse.

But still, just don't comment. It's quite rude. Anyway. Happy 50th. Have a nice, lovely, lovely dinner. And enjoy it, mate. We will see you soon. We will see you very, very soon. All the best. I feel like we've just spent a lot of energy sweating I am It is warm in here actually I was really cold at the moment

Have you done it I haven't I nearly put the heating on this morning It's the morning Just for half hour Just to take the edge off Just to take the edge off I was sat in the kitchen all day working

That's why I was freezing No I get it And for me it was the other morning The kids woke up And Alfie said I'm cold And I thought I don't want you to feel that I don't like you Oh no, but it's very, very early, isn't it?

It is very early, but it's horrible when they say that. Maybe it's because you've not done, you've done on what you're doing layer-wise. He probably could have had another layer, can you? Yeah, I didn't have a vest on in bed, yeah, that's what I was thinking. I put their first vest on to school. Yeah, I haven't put a vest on James tonight. But I've started, he's in a sleeping bag now. They are great guys.

If you are... You're getting on with it? The best thing. I think I used that. The best thing, if you have a little one, get them in a sleeping bag for the winter yeah

when they're kicking covers off but also I think even just once they start moving once they start rolling and they're basically when they're in their cot even if it's hot you still have a little

something over you don't know they do the different to as well don't they and they could be in a romp obviously when we've had like really hot nights where I was like don't put in anything

but they're the best things because now they are moving like you say he's moving around now in the cot And now, especially now, like his legs, it could be cold. Oh, yeah. You cannot have a blanket on him. No, we'll just be off immediately.

So, yeah, they are the best things and I highly recommend, don't know why it took me so long, although we have just got into the cold months. No, you've got into the bones. Yeah, and Alisa's using one now. Yeah, they're brilliant. Yeah, I definitely did with Alphi. I can't remember for Roobes. I don't remember you ever put in the minute.

Yeah, Alfier did. Yeah. Talking of like, well, not how, or sort of happening. I, oh, I love a hack. Some of them are such bullshit, but I love them. Well, I don't know this is a hack, but it's so good. Dawn. As you know, I like cleaning out clothes, and I've got bundles of them.

Cleaning out your closet. Cleaning out my closet. I actually did it. I did my wheel droves the other day. I know. I came and saw it. It was chaos. Fucking honest.

Was it? Yeah. Just a lot of stuff. It just overwhelmed me. I couldn't wait to leave. Where did you put it all? Well, this is what I'm doing. Well, I should be, I know I should be putting it on vinted, but it's hard.

I haven't got time. No, I know. Anyway, H&M, I've just found out. I'm guessing it is only H&M clothes, although they don't check, which is interesting. But I took in six, five, six bags of H&M clothes. Yes. And I've got five pound a bag. Oh, that's good.

That's really good. So I've got 30 pounds. worth of vouchers. What do they do? Maybe they recycle them. That's really good. I did think it was, I only did H&M clothes.

I'm guessing it is only H&M clothes, but like I said, what do you think they take anything? Well, like you said, they're not checking the bags. That's what I was a bit confused about. And also I used not like bag for lives.

Don't use them, they're too big. What's that? Just bag for life. They use a bag for life. Yeah, bag for lives. Yeah. I used,

My green bin bags. Okay. The compost, what are they? It wasn't a compost bag. It was. Is there as big as your head? No. The ones that I put in the little green bin.

Your food bin. Food bin. That bag. You put those. What are that big? Yeah. What do? You got a fibre for that?

Yeah. So are you saying that you gave it on purpose? Yeah. So the smaller the bag. Yeah. Absolutely. So if you would have gone in there with a black bin bag, you would have got a five out.

Exactly. No way. Oh, shut up. I kid you not. There will be people up and down the country. But guys, please don't ruin it for me. We don't want to get caught out. So each bag had like one T-shirt in.

No, no, no. I managed to fit four or five items in each bag. I thought you were going to say like a black bin bag. Absolutely not. No, I was thinking just a Sainos bag. No, because I saw someone come in with one of those. Saynos. Sorry.

No, I saw someone come in with a bag for life. There's probably 10 items in there. She could have got 10 pound, not five pounds. You've got to be smart. Also, this day of age, and they're not. No, what bag do they want us to use earlier? I don't want to use my bag for life. That's my bag for life for shopping.

The only other bags I have access to are the little green bin bags. I have to say, the way you presented that argument, I would say absolutely I agree. Thank you. It was good. Thank you. I feel like you've set up. But that is crazy. Because like you said, three of yours could have gone in one.

Yeah, like one I had like a jacket and a couple of others. bits. Not fair. With the thin little t-shirts, I whack a few more in. As long as I could do the bag up. But also, if they don't check it, then it must be any clothes. I don't know. I'm going to, if anyone knows, let me know.

Does anyone else do that? Has anyone else done that? But yeah, I think you can only have eight vouchers on your app at a time. Right. And then you can only use. You're spending the money in there. You can only use one per shop in store or you can use two online. But for me, I buy all the kids.

I mean, I was gutty because I just had done an H&M order and spend. I don't know. Your kids always look beautiful. Thanks. And if I go on H&M, I don't see one thing. No, she does it all online. Online, only. But I don't get it.

Her and Annalisa just, yeah, do it online. If I can't buy it, there and then, like, and Lisa, the other day, she will just order it. I'm never going to order it. No. Not going to do it. No, no. And the worst thing for me was getting my own Amazon Prime.

Oh, it's fucking brilliant for me. About time, and it? Everyone uses yours, didn't they? Honestly. Not anymore. this crazy. I'm addicted. Yeah, it's good. It is good. It is good.

Can I just read this message out from Gita? I do like to try and get round to some of them because we do get all these messages and then no one hears them back. But Gita says, Must say you were fabulous on this morning, you're a proper natural. It was a weird feeling. Let me explain because I've listened to every one of your podcast from day one. I feel like you're my friend.

So I found myself yelling at my hubby and daughters. Look, look, my gnats on the telly. All three of them looked at me. me with that pity sorry look on their faces but i don't care you mark liny and especially your nieces get me through the hardest of night shifts thank you to all of you i honestly think you have helped my mental health i'm a menopausal mum of two girls both at uni so the worry never ends i'm a wife a cook a cleaner a gardener i work full-time night shifts and my boss is an absolute fucking bell-end i usually are love the only thing that has saved me from lashing out is the

pure happiness I feel after listening to you all. I don't have many friends, but I do consider you and your nieces as my wish list friends. So please don't ever stop. Love to you all, Ging. Oh, that's lovely. That's lovely. Isn't that lovely? Thank you so much.

And you sound like, superwoman. Brilliant. But yeah, thank you. That's super kind. Lovely, isn't it? Yeah, love that. And that's funny, actually, because I was thinking about earlier. Oh, that was it.

I was in the lift at work, and I heard some people talking about, she'd been to an event, And seeing someone, I couldn't quite get the gist of it. It sounded like chefs, but I couldn't quite work it out. Last night event. Yeah, what was it? Who's cooking dinner? Oh, and the guys were buzzing. They're like, oh, my gosh, it's amazing.

Did you talk, done, da, da. And then it got me thinking, like, how can people be so obsessed with, like, wanting to meet people that they don't know or it's fascinating, isn't it? Because they follow them now, and it's not just television. You're kind of following people sort of on a daily basis, and it's a personal choice to who you follow. It's a very personal thing, isn't it? Be it a podcast, a radio station.

Your time is very precious. So who you choose to look at is actually quite a personal thing. It just got me thinking, like, is there anyone that I would really love to meet and talk to? I'd like to meet Chris and Jojo. I would like to have the dinner. I'm pretty confident that will happen one day. Your dreams will come true. I would like to have them here, chat to them, cook for them.

I'd like them here for a night board game. That's what I would like. Fantastic. And I'm sure they'll entertain Joanie as well. Can't you sort that out, you too? Do you somehow? Yeah, all right. That could be our Christmas present, sort it out.

Yeah. What about you, Els? Is there anyone that you would like to? Yeah, but I'm just trying to think now right off the top of my head. Someone that I'd love to meet. Yeah. Well, the first person that's coming to my mind right now, and it's a bit, it's relevant to why. But I just think he's incredible, Stephen Graham.

Oh, yeah. I would love to, again, I feel like I could like just give him a cuddle like he was my dad and have a glass and red wine with him. He's growing a scrabble. Yeah, I really like him and I think he's sensational. Yeah, he's sensational. He's sensational. And just because, yeah, he's just, when you said that, he was the first person.

Interesting. You okay? Does that, don't he a lot? I thought you had a cold. He's sick, though, weren't he? He's just incredible. It's fantastic. Yeah.

Just amazing. Yeah. Isn't it amazing? And what's happened with that program? Yeah, that kid, incredible. What about you? She's dead, I'm afraid. Yeah, no, you can't say that.

That was Amy Wynnehouse, by the way. Now, there's no one you'd like to just... David Attenborough. Yeah. Like to have a nice little chat with him. Yeah, see, I'm not bothered. Really? No, that's a good one.

Yeah, but I don't know. I'm trying to think people are more on my level. Oh, you're doing really prolific now. I just went for people, but I'm obsessed with it. No, it's important. though I'm not really obsessively

no but your Chris and Jojo wouldn't be lucky for everything but just right now you're saying what's really annoying it's Mark knows Chris really well

didn't he does the party racing and what's the issue what's going on yeah but Mark won't do that really

but then I think I might have to go to the racing one Saturday oh what a shame yeah but you won't meet Jojo but I can get in there

get the number get it sort of get close to you know you're just sending him a message on Instagram hey

send him a message She has. Shopping like Ricky, eh? And then on a serious note, had a major mishap. Oh my God. It's an hour and one minute, so hurry up. Oh, really?

It's quite long, but I think it's important for everyone to know. I've got to go home. I don't know if I'm just really stupid. Just speed it up a bit. I nearly got scammed, or I did get scammed. Okay, well, that's happened before, so go. I know.

What is wrong with me? What was the scale? Stop ordering it online. No, no, no. So, guys, listen, and honestly, beware if this has happened to you or it could happen. They got me at a very, again, a time that I was very flustered, wasn't really concentrating. I was at home getting ready for work, had a message come through about someone trying to use my credit card. I replied to Barclays saying N or why.

I can't remember whatever the answer was, yeah? Then I'm going to work. Keep getting phone calls. But obviously, I'm on the tube, it's cutting out, whatever. I was going to Manchester as well. get off the two phone rings i answer it didn't really think anything of it guy on the phone saying all this stuff said my address i was like yep and then he said right i'm sending you a code you need to give me the code so he sent me the code i'm giving him the code but you've done that

exact thing before with the bank no not that but this is big house no the other one was different i gave him my details which was all types of strange this time i didn't give any details but i did confirmed my address which freaked me out and then giving him the code given him the code then I said how do I know you're not a scammer and I could just tell something in his voice it wasn't sitting well with me but I was just

I wasn't really concentrating and then I don't know what happened and in the end then he went yeah I am a scammer and I've just taken all your money oh my goodness that's awful I was fucking fuming right and what happened

Well, why do you say that? That's really horny. What? He actually said that. He actually said that. He said, yeah, I am a scammer and I've just taken all your money. And what, put the phone down? Put the phone down.

Well, I'll put the phone down. I've got the ump and I was shitting myself. So what happened? And then I called the fraud department and they said they had already blocked my card, thankfully. Oh, wow. But he tried to do, like, so many transactions. And then he's the guy sort of told me off. But you said, read your messages.

and I read the messages, I was like, what an idiot. And I said, what threw me? I said, when the messages were coming through, they were coming through from Barclays. Oh, were they? Yes. If you click on it. No, it's from Barclays, because what they've done is the authentication. They say, you can go, they've got my number.

So they send the code to my number. And I'm then giving him the code. But he was telling me the code was to stop the transaction. But if I had read the message, it was to approve the transaction. But I wasn't really reading it. So guys, please watch out for that Because that is wild When you are in a rush

And you're not really thinking It's really easy to do Just know what I had I had an inkling And if you've got an inkling Just put the phone down Don't do anything Go to your app

And call them Through your app Immediately Immediately And so just hang on I need to authenticate this And they'll just put the phone down Authenticate

It was only It was only because One or the other It was only because I got the message in the morning So I knew something was happening and Barclays were in contact. Oh, so it was Barclays trying to actually stop it?

No. In the morning they said, it was a 0.01 payment. Is this you? And I put no, that was it. Oh, so that was legit. Yeah, that was legit, yeah. And then later on, he's called and I've answered,

and I'm thinking it is Barclays, but I knew Dick Down and went back to his, and I was just being really stupid. Like, I got away Scott 3, but yeah, guys, please just be so careful. Yeah, everyone needs to be vigilant. Especially coming up to... Coming up, yeah, don't give it any.

We're rushing, we're going to get emails, we're going to have delivery details. I had a call today. Just a number. I went to hello and she was like, hi, I'm calling from Indeed, can I have your number? But it was all weird. I could tell it wasn't real. There's so many things. And that's, yeah, that's it.

I just, I was really upset and I said to the fraud guy, I said, I'm so embarrassed. I'm so frustrated. He was like, look, they are so clever. Yeah. They get, you know, they can do it. They know exactly what they're doing. So many. There are people acting and texting their mum saying I need money.

Oh, there's an advert for that, isn't there? There's a thing today, which is something about, I saw it online today. Mum, this is my new number. Yeah. You know, ping me over. I've lost my phone. I've got a new number or whatever. Yeah, it's crazy.

Ridiculous. Be vigilant. Be vigilant. But well, Maria. Please that you've not. What an idiot. Second time. I've learnt my lesson now, though.
