I feel like we're allowed to have a little Christmas spirit, little drinkerunee. Lovely. Gin in this weather is bizarre. Is it toasty in here? Mark sorted up the heating. I just drove around in my flip-flop. Pajamas and Havanaes Pajamas

Pajamas No coat I've got my slippers on Lovely However I've just realised On the drive here I've got a heated steering wheel

Nice That is so good But it's a shame you've only just realised I can't believe it A whole year I'd love a heated steering wheel I mean that is luxury But I just saw this button

I thought oh what's that Prest it Toasted And I know I always say it, girls, but having that carport, when it's frosty, and when I drive out of here at half-seven and people are scraping their cars, I always think, oh, in the summer I think, oh, and it'll waste the space, you could do this. No, it's good. It's fantastic. Or you could just get an app where you put your phone on to turn your car and defrost your car and warm it up while you're inside the house. Always, always got to top me, it's just saying.

No, a lot of them do that now. I've got that, but I think I have to pay for it now. Yeah, I don't have to take mine. But, yeah, I've just put mine on. And also then when you get in the car, it's lovely and warm. It's nice. Or you could just go out and put it on. Loving this co-ord.

Thanks, it's pyjamas. Yeah, but it looks like a little cord thing. I'm not being well, leave me alone. Oh, yeah. Anyway, I've got a little treat for you. Would you call it a cord? A cord, though. Do you know what?

I bought these in Sainsbury's last Christmas Eve when I was really upset that I had no Christmas pyjamas. and this was the closest thing. They're not very Christmassy, I know, but it may be happy. I like them. I like them a lot. I've got a little gift for you both. Excellent.

This one is for you. Oh, is well cute. Oh, is he swearing at me. Can I keep the gold? Yeah, I would like gold, but that's fine. No, I just thought it would save arguments between you both. Okay, I'm definitely a gold-canny girl. Is he swearing at us?

Yes, so if you look at it, I'm just going to read you this lovely card. Key rings for you, elves and row row. I'm a road rager too and heard you girls on the pod. Yes, let them, but these key rings give the middle finger sign so you can still salute them in your head. Maybe stick your car keys on them. Thank you for everything to echo others you bring sunshine to my world. Piers, if you ever do a pod on empty nesting, I'm in, really struggled with this. Take care, Julie Lee.

Oh, that's so lovely. So thank you so much, Julie. Was that from Sunday? No. Oh. It wasn't this Sunday. There's another one. Oh, sorry.

I have been bombarded with gifts. I know. People are so generous. I even got a gift. But isn't it absolutely fantastic? Yeah, love that. Really, really cute. Love that.

Fuck them. Yeah, not let them. Fuck them. So, yeah, lovely little gift there. I got some Frera Roches, didn't I? You did. Lovely Lucy, said she couldn't have a fellow Frera Roche lover. Have you eaten them all?

No. I've had a couple though and I saw the I was actually meant to post it I saw the Advent Canada in Sainsbury Did you see it? It was on club card 15 quid

Just buy it I was sort of hoping that someone might buy it for me What do you want me to buy it No I'll buy it for you I'm surely Jack's bought it Mm-mm

I mean she's gonna get like a deal I think she'll be okay I'll get you the chalky one No I just want That's all I want For where I wash out By the way What's her for where I wash it

For where I'll wash it? For where I'll wash it? I have been online and I have been looking for a Thomas Advent Yeah you can't get it Non-existent What a terrible shame I bought him the book one Oh I've already said that

Half an hour of my life gone I think I'm going to go I found a Polly Pocket one for Ruby That's a good idea And I think it's on discount at Argos 16 pounds Okay Because there was a Disney one I wanted to get Yeah

From the Disney store 45 pounds Yeah no I'm sorry It's too much And also last year I think I spent that on the Lapland one You've said this Which I was disappointed But I will use it again

And put chocolate coins Yeah absolutely So I think I'm going to do that for Robs And then Alfie I'm still struggling Little Lego one I think Tom's doing the Minecraft Lego Lovely There you go

Which he'll love So I want to get him something A little bit different Very good It's hard isn't it Maybe a little fidget one he'd like I feel like he would like that I know it's a load of shit

I just think don't overthink it Because No, I know, but you know when some of them you look at, like I looked at getting Ruby a squishy one and there's just the same thing but different every day. I mean, after a while, I think there's just a bit like... Life, really.

Life. One big admin calendar. Literally, same shit, different day. You're talking of discounts, we've got a message here from Tracy. She said, I have so much to say on today's pod. I told my friend about that half-priced leg of land. My brother-in-law put it on the family group Anyway, she voiced noted me yesterday

To say she went and brought one And when she got home Realised the security netting is still on it This is why we shouldn't have self-service From tracing Brilliant Netting But hasn't that quite tag on it?

I'm glad you got your lamb though I'm a bit gutted, I didn't get one Hold on, hold on, hold on What's security netting? You have the netting over things Don't you can't cut it? No, you must be able to get it off Funnily enough, I bought some steak yesterday

in Sainsbury's and I walked out and I left it on top because it's got one of those Really jealous of your red wine now by the way With the security tag on it Got home and I've got it out And I was like oh shit The security tag still on it

What does that mean? Well it's meant to set the alarms off And it didn't But you can still open it No of course But that's not the point though is it Why is it on there if you can walk out the shop With it deterrent

It is yeah of course it is What are you going to do Like bolt the steak down In like a metal case I don't think it'll be long Judging by the shoplifting that's going on It probably will be that It's early out of her top

My top A Tisco top Oh the old tent Up the old The steak's going up the old top So I didn't steal that Four ribbyes Bang bang bang bang bang

Bang Potatoes It was good fun Isn't it the live You did very well for your first one She enjoyed it She's got the buzz She's got the buzz

It's good It's good It was the best son I think I thought it was brilliant Really That's because I was there No, I think. No, it was nice to have you together. Really good. The dynamic was lovely. The way we structured it was good, wasn't it?

Very, very good. And I think maybe just because it's the first one we've done, like, matinee. Yes. You know, the others have been after work. It's just a bit nicer, isn't it? Yeah. But it's like anything, isn't it? The more you do it, hopefully the better it you get. No, it was good fun. Very good fun.

I did something yesterday, which I can't talk about. But I am going to tease and say, I think it was a highlight of my career. Wow. So watch this space. Excellent. Do we know when that will be? Probably in the new year, I would imagine. But yeah, just teasing yours.

Shame is not Christmas? Yeah, it is a shame. And no, it's not traitors. No. No. That would be nice, wouldn't it? That would be cracking, yeah. Niles?

Yeah. Interesting. Like them? Yeah. I mean, I've had a month for two weeks, so. Not two weeks No, you haven't Two weeks, guys

Four days Yeah, that's unbelievable Not a chip Why is that, do you think I'm just getting better I'm so white I'm so pasty Well, it's winter now

I know But just a little glow Wouldn't go miss Did you see my door? Really lovely Do you like it? Really nice Cute

Our colours Yeah, very apt Very good We need to get some little pickies Definitely. All done up. They did that today. Yeah, they turned up. It was pouring my rain. I said, Haley, every time you come, it's freezing and raining.

She went, I know, but it is a winter door. I was going to say, it is kind of what she's doing for the next six weeks. And I know it is mid-November. It's fucking cold, in it. Yeah, lovely, though. I'm right up for it. Get the tree up. Oh, it's too cold for me. Oh, no, come on.

It's not that cold. Well, it is when you're walking, oh, spat. It is when you're walking to the station at seven o'clock in the morning. Thank you. Yeah, I'm not. I'm still in bed at that. Exactly. It's whittily cold.

It's awful. Enjoy what it is. It's getting up. Horsful. What is going on? It's getting dressed. I don't want to, I just want to wear a tracks.

I want to wear that. I want to wear a four-weil wash. I want to have for wear my washes. In all winter. With my pyjamas, with my havannas. Because it's awful outside. So you know what I mean.

It makes us delirious. No, I do know. I do know. I mean, I have. Well, we haven't got out tonight because it's cold. I don't go out tonight. Because we haven't got a stitch to wear. That is true.

Because it's blitz. And it's so cold. I meant to be out tomorrow night and I'm not going. Can I also say? Because Elliot or someone might listen to this. I mean, I'm sure he's too busy to. No, we're doing a pod, Elliot. But we are working.

Work. No, we're gutted, but it is freezing. And when I looked out the window, I thought what a result. Imagine that. I know. Invite us again. Invite us again. In the summer.

Yeah. Summer party. But yeah, and tomorrow I was meant to be out and I'm actually not in London now so I'm not going to traips into London of an evening. No. But also it's cold, I know. Just want to hibernate, guys.

Yeah, I love it. It's the darkening. This is why we need the twinkling lights to let the bit of light in. This is why it's not early anymore. You need that. The what? To let the light in.

What twinkling lights? Just fairy lights. Fairy lights and Christmas. That's like, that's because it's dark. Very, very dark. We need to brighten it a little. Well, the where lights are up. Yeah, you said.

Don't do the lanterns. That's a real shame because they were so pretty. Yeah, why is that? Someone did tell me. What was it? Nick's got knicked or something. No. I'm so excited to put my tree up, but all I'm going to have to do is go, James, don't

take, James? Oh, that is it. James? It's the worst. Moving in, moving him, moving him. Smash, crash, bang, smash. Is it? I don't really get what the point is.

You're going to have to decorate it halfway up. Yeah. No, seriously. And then, like, if people come around just... When he's in bed down some bulb was on. I forgot about that. He's going to pull it over. And he's going to be on it.

Oh, yeah. Or I'm going to have to buy like a guard. Because I need one for the fire anyway. Why don't you get him a choo-to train round it? Oh, yeah. It's entice him there. No, because then he'd be more interested in the train. And then it's like, well, come over to the tree.

You need to try not to make it a thing. I'll tell you what he'll do he will stand up and he will try and pull it over so he'll be holding on to it he'll be going ball ball over everything

that's the that's the problem he'll think they're all balls mine a little bit but they didn't really something that bad I don't remember though I turned around earlier

two baking trays banging them together like literally just I think I put the milk in the fridge or something he's got two baking trays and then he's trying to get So luckily they were like metal ones

And he had the ceramic ones I was like, oh You don't got child locks on the doors No, I just tried to avoid it It's weird, isn't it? It's weird, isn't it? Mine just never did Never had to worry I don't know if mine did

I really can't remember in the kitchen Yeah, can't remember Something I never had a stair gate Yeah no that for me is Especially upstairs Downstairs for me I can deal with Because I can shut doors The upstairs, no that used to give me

upstairs I love it now when he woke up from his nap we were up there for like an hour it's different for you yeah no there's no mind literally you're out there I know but you're still safe

you're running the bath you know you're not I just I know it's not a worry I can put washing away and not think oh is he you know yeah that's crazy that you didn't have a stay

yeah it's mad but then I was gonna say I was really bad I did shit myself and I looked and she had landed on her bum I was like, thank God for that.

She was fine. We were packing. I don't know what she did. You're going to get annihilated now. Oh no, sorry, guys. No, but that's not that bad. One out of how many chances. No, I mean, things happen.

My house is small, so it's quite contained. Yeah, the gates would have been, and they were good. I mean, she literally, that was a real fluky thing. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, also, they do just turn over and slide down, didn't they? Yeah, I mean, she did it the other day. I was like, what you doing? They do just get used to it.

She loves it this one. Hi, Annette. Just listening to this week's Nats' nieces, and you're talking about the hallmark Christmas films.

and you need to get on Channel 5 on Saturdays. All day is cheesy hallmark Christmas films. Back to back. They might be on Sundays as well, but they're definitely on Saturdays. Me and my hubby love them. Absolutely loved them. So jealous that he loves them with me.

Yeah, they're on from the first day that they start. Anyway, enjoy. Claire from Brighton Sorry Claire What's, I don't know what that is You don't know what is What's a hallmark? I only know

The Hallmark I've finished No I only know the Hallmark series Which I've mentioned before Because of a friend of mine Called Alfie Who's obsessed with them But they are

Just really, really cheesy Christmas films Never heard of it in my life Never heard of it Never watched, would I have watched one? No I haven't watched one So you're not in your own are gross to me.

Are they on this Saturday? I'm going to go and record them all in a minute. Probably. Yeah, I'm going to go and record them all. It doesn't sound like. Oh no, but they're just like today and it's not a hallmark one but I put the holiday on.

Holiday, not holiday. I think I've seen that. Which is again, it's not hallmark but it's cheese. And I had it on. I was pottering around and I just I was and then I found myself actually sat on the sofa just looking at the telly because I was so engrossed. I love it so much.

I love it so much. I've got time to sit and watch a Christmas. Well, no, I didn't sit. I sort of went to do something and I was sat there for like five minutes. I wasn't well as well. And also, if you have got time to sit there. Yeah, absolutely.

Slept for two and a half hours, thank you. I will sit down. Oh, my gosh. Sorry, she carries on here. Off we go. Also, what we love doing is at the beginning of watching the cheesy hallmark at Christmas films

is figuring out the storyline before it's actually started. That's good. that doesn't like Christmas. Who's the one that's going to turn the one that doesn't like Christmas around? So he or she does like Christmas again. Who's going to bring the spirit of Christmas back to the village? Sounds fantastic.

And then we have a little game as to see, like a bingo card, really. Brilliant. I'll have to watch one. What we get right and what we get wrong. It's quite fun. You should try it. Eliza will love it. Brilliant.

I love it. It's great. And I love that. her husband watches with her. Can you give me like your favourite one? Not Eliza. Sorry. Oh, she's still going. It's like she's on the pod.

I don't mind at all. There's one more actually. She'll listen to this if he, oh my God. Sorry, last one. I'm with you, Nat. Not a Nigella fan at all. In fact, I can't actually stand her. And she looks at the camera in that,

what she thinks is a sexy way. Seduptive. really makes me want to get in my mouth. Yeah, so I don't know if you're that far. No, I'm not. No, I get that. I do not like her. I can't stand her when I used to fancy the pants off of her when he was alive.

Oh, that's why. She's got to it now, I think, because I've come to the end of your pod, so, yeah, I won't message you anymore. See you later, babes. That's brilliant. Very good. Have a good day. Bye. Just in case you didn't catch it on the last, first one,

it's Claire from Brighton. Thank you, Claire. And this is Claire's pod today. Life with Claire. Very good. No, but I have to say, I'm not that bad, but it never got me, Nigella. No, I'm the same.

I would only put it on if it's a Christmas one, but I have no interest in her whatsoever. The only thing that she did. All the mail, a audience. A little, and also I feel the best thing she ever did was say let's pop that in the microwave. Yeah, but that's not real, is it?

I don't know. That's not real. She doesn't mean that. Well, no, but she's doing it to... What? But it was great. Take the pit, like, yeah. Oh, okay.

Yeah, I like that. Microwave. Yeah, I'll pop it in the microwave. But I'm the same, if I think Christmas, I'll go Jamie Oliver. Always. Always. Yeah. Or Delia.

No. Cookbook-wise. Yeah, but I'm talking about if I was watching. I love it each I opened it this year and it's all stuck together where it's been used the pages have been used

which is disgusting Mark Mark But yeah I like it because none of my cookbooks are used But that one each year There's sort of a bit of brandy on it It makes me

I remember that mum and dads They had a big dealier one Always still out If I remember rightly I believe that mum won that on a sports day and that is crazy I don't know why

and it's a black one isn't it and dad still uses it to this day and I don't know I could be wrong she definitely wants yeah I'm gonna ask her text that Dealey's cookbooks I'd say are top tier yeah

and you use them and it doesn't matter how old they are they proper good I need to get so I need to start get on that no you don't I have got some nice one you don't I've got so many Why don't you get in the room and pick ten?

Just take them home. I've got so many, baby. You should just take five. Like a cookbook library, you should take five home, cook from them, bring them back. Yeah. Don't buy them. Do not waste money. That is obscene.

Just boring for us. Have you watched it? Yeah, because it's really boring. Really sorry. I've subscribed to good food. Ah. BBC? I've got all, though, yeah, BBC good food.

Well, there's an app and you get all the premium stuff. So it's a bit like, you know, the recipes you get each week. It'll tell you a weekly plan or... Yeah, someone... Becky showed me something she does. I can't remember what it's called. It's very clever, actually. But it's just the BBC Good Food.

And does it do, like, the recipe and you can add to the shopping list? Yes. Yeah, it's clever. Do you know what is clever? But they're sponsored by Aldi, which is no problem. But I don't really shop there.

You go to get the alternative, can't you? Yeah, absolutely. You can put all your ingredient. Like, if you've got a fridge full of staff and you're not sure what to do... Oh, yeah. You can just, like, go into chat GPT. and you can say I've got peppers, pasta, this, this.

And it will give you some ideas of recipes. And do you know, more so that I've done it for the baby, James, because sometimes you think, I feel like it's had the same thing. So I'll say I've got some mushrooms. That is absolutely, I'm doing it tomorrow. I can go in with the cupboard, use the tins up? Yeah. And it will give you some recipes of what you could do.

This is fantastic. Oh, that's fucking killed a big segment of our pod. She's all the best of everyone. It's me, Maria and Natalie behind the keyboard. We weren't going to baby Durba. Well, that's fucked it. No, but it's not the same. But again, what I'm saying is I think it's...

No, it's not the same. Or sometimes if I want to narrow down and be like, I want to do this, but I just want one portion, it will give you like exact enough. That helps me sometimes, especially when you're cooking two meals a day and, like, for a child, it's a lot. No, I think that's excellent. I tried the Marx's

prawn toast, didn't I? Oh, don't fuck it, I'm fucking puberty And no one's bought them for me, no? Wait, wait a moment You want Ferreira Rochey Advent Don't fucking go out and buy your own stuff I've not been well, I just wanted to be at home She's at home all the time, it's wild

No, I'm going to go tomorrow morning You've got to get them I'm fuming Can I just ask you something about Sunday night actually Because I went into him yesterday And I looked at the section I was going to buy them and I thought I'm up

but I can't I'm going to be 24 stone It's like the cheat It's like the cheap Shame you didn't say You were going to M&S I would come with you But it's not Christmas shit

Hertford Hartford for half an hour And I thought you were ill Jesus Christ I don't Oh my God I can't I don't say that

No you didn't I'm just winding you up For the pod You know Podie bant Pottie bantor Go on bitch And I didn't buy him

If I buy them I'm just gonna put Because it's air fry For seven minutes Airfry It's interesting. It actually says eight minutes. Well, whatever.

Eight minutes. I did it ten. What's relevant? You said that Jack bought a box of Chinese for you on Sunday. Yeah. You're going to be so fuming. Next door to it? Next door to it.

I do wrong with it. No, it's just all the premium collection range of Chinese. Yeah. And I just thought that surprises, man. I think he was with the baby. I think he's just quick. No, he's gone, get the box, I understand, but the new collection of Chinese. And then we've got half a duck still in the fridge because we didn't cook that whole, like, this massive.

Why don't you have it with, um, to get some nice wraps or, you know, spring onions? I'm going to just do it again. We'll have it, we'll be eating it Friday night and I'll go and get the premium stuff and the prawn toast. They've got hoisin sauce ribs, though. It looks, it's insane. Because also, I do think getting a Chinese takeaway can be very risque. And disappointing. And expensive.

And very expensive. And especially when there's two of you and you want, like Jack will want a dish and I'm not that bothered, but then it's a whole big dish. And it gets wasted. Whereas actually getting it from a supermarket, I think, is a really good shout. And I really enjoy doing that. Yeah, but is it the same, the chili be.

It's going to be nicer from when it's shop-bought. It is. To try it. The Indian stuff, I was standing there. I was salivating. They had like a black lentil doll It's all collection It's all midnight blue

It looks like it looks like you And um What fuck off No That's like packaging Ain't it mad What a mad world we live in Why

It's just mad Isn't it? Just great Stop that proper How good can it be Good How does it sit there for all that time Good

No I know Did you eat the pasta I was so angry What pasta? Oh my. It's bad. I've bought four collection pastas.

I've thought about it. It is my fault. That's disgrace to start with, but carry them. But they were different. One was Carbonara. One was a new king prom. I just got,

I get excited. I see things and like a child. It's like a child going to a toy shop. Yeah. But I thought, I'm out Sunday. And then when I've looked at them all, the kids are not going to, eat them anyway. Two of them are spicy

and one of them's got king prawns in it. So one of them was a carbunara and then I thought Elliot might have another one or whatever. Anyway, they've all ended up having a takeaway when I've got home. There are four collection pastas. Right.

650 each, 750 each. Leave it, don't think about it. Monday. Out of day. Two of them were out of date that day. No. I'll just do, yeah, but you could have still eating it. Yeah.

I've been absolutely fine. It's a date. Could you have frozen them? No. No, you should have looked at. You should have eaten them. So what did you do? Mark and Joni had the spicy ones last night.

And Joni apparently did really well. She ate all the pasta but couldn't really handle the n-dujia sauce. And the carbanao was eaten. I don't know when that was eaten, but it was. I think Mark maybe I had it for lunch. or Eliza might have had it and then the king prawn one unfortunately went to waste

which really upset me yeah that is real shame well I can do better than that Jack went on Sunday so he picked up some bits so he picked up some pork chops for the week you love a pork chop you too he loves a pork chop

I love a pork chop it doesn't like me so I went to do it Tuesday last night went out of date on Sunday I did. He bought them on Sunday. That's a disgrace. I was fuming.

Were they, not on, no, no, no, just full price. No, no, no. There was no yellow sticker, nothing. You got marred. That's poor, isn't it? Yeah, terrible. I'll check the day off. Rummished.

Yeah, no, I know I do. But that's really good. That really rolls me up. But again, you could have, when did you find out? Last night. It was now the 18th, and I was the day. When was the day? Two days late.

And Paul caused a bit. Yeah, no. If it was a bit. If it was a little. If it was a bit. If it was a little. If it was chicken or beef, I think I... No, I wouldn't have this.

How much was it? I don't know. I did it today. But pork is more of a reasonable meat. Yeah. I do need to also say to you, Joni, I don't know what's going on. What?

The fussiness. I don't know what's happened. No, no, but I'm being honest. She was so good. It's weird stuff now. Shepherd's Supplies. She said, I don't really... And she's going to Mark, I don't really like...

I said, what are you talk? Two weeks ago, you were scoffering it down your ball. I can't see. It's my worst. Today, I've... I've bought some melon. Open the fridge. I said, because after school I said,

you're eating too much rubbish. I said there was some melon in there, whatever. I don't like melon. When have you not liked melon? This morning I went to... No, just before you start changing the subject, just really quickly, while it's in my head, I was watching something and it really sparked my brain.

And it was to do with mint. meat, and I think we all do it, that we buy 5% mince meat. No, stop. 12. Yeah, you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be, but... They say for like a Bolognaises. Yeah, you want the fat. You need a bit of fat, and I've made a Bolognaise today.

It's unbelievable. What did you buy? 12. Well, I think that's what they do. I've got a large 12% mints for tomorrow's Bolognais. So do you always buy 12? Always. So what is it?

Not 10? No. 12 where I am, but. What 15 then? No good. Oh, I would imagine it's fine. But you shouldn't have a very low... Oh, well, thanks for telling me, guys. I thought we said this before.

No, we haven't. I'll tell you why we have. But has it been on the telly somewhere? Well, someone before he said it. Because I was Tony and me. I can't believe this. It was happened. What was it?

Oh, yes. At least she's watched something. I've done, Maria. I'm going to watch this. Oh, when you, the M&S advert, making the Bolognese. Tony said, it's your, perfect. Thanks, Tone. However, with you, what I would say is when you have used 5% beef, you usually put pork with it.

But I still do. Yeah. Which is why it tastes so good. Yeah. Because that's very fatty. Leave those alone. No, but the pork's 5%. Yeah, but pork's fatty.

Yeah, but still, I think even the beef just tastes nicer. It's a bit more. Yeah, but what's the 5%? Then why have we all been like, oh, we've got to buy that and it's more expensive? Oh, I think we've won't, because of the color, it's calorifically better, isn't it? But I don't, yeah, 12%. Go on, the bakery, come on. I'm so excited to go there.

My new obsession this week is the new micro bakery in Much Haddam. I'm a bit nervous to talk about it. Why? Because it'd get packed out, isn't it? And there was no cue this morning. But I want to give them the business Because I went in there I actually drove there last week

And it was closed And then we found out that it was They did put something up on Instagram Yes Like a temporary closure But it's in the middle of It's in the middle of a country lane There's kind of some units

And I walked in there And it's this tiny little place filled with freshly baked bread Cakes What's the one you like? Pasta... Pardon? Pastel denata?

I think so. Can't wait for those messages. What is it? What's that? The custard tart again. Oh, sorry, he said it the other day. Custodot? Oh, the custard in like the paste sort of tie.

Pastel denata. Yeah. It's like a pastry. Beautiful, that is. There was... She didn't even get me one and drop me one in. There were loaves of bread. I'll explain mine in a minute.

There were loaves of bread that were like chili and chorizo with jamming. No. No, I don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, it's a bit of a shocker. It's really... For the waste and for the banker, get up. Especially when I'm whizzing past every day. Lovely to get a little loaf of bread, though, isn't it?

And the coffee? And then they do coffee beans. I'm going to get some. I'm so excited. I had a chai ginger latte. Of course, you do. And then I'm going to say that the service, two blokes, loving life their music on

how are you yeah just like it made me want to cry oh they must be so happy and enjoying their work loving it loving it and it's only going to get bigger we're going to do stuff how much with the coffee please I can't tell you

oh why because I bought something else I can't tell you I'm yet to tell you about and this is the biggie for me they had a span of coppeter oh Fetter and cheese they have Hi.

I said, why have you got those here? He said, I only bake what I like. I said, this is not okay. I said, I can only get these in Greece and I rarely go. I can't pop there. I bought a lunch slice. How was it? And I have, I thought I'm going to just have a little bit.

And throughout the day, I finished it. But that has been my day. How was it? I've been only dinner because I'm obviously really good. Unbelievable. Was it? Did you heat it up? No.

Cold. I had it like that in Greece. I had it like that in Greece. No. I had it early. Sorry, I'd go and buy it early from the lovely Greek man. I'd walk down to the shop. Greek man?

No way. No, I mean, in Greece. Well, yeah. Fuck it, Mel. Oh. And then I left it. And then I would have it lunchtime or in the evening or whatever. So, okay.

So what did you purchase? I purchased a. a large slice of Spanakopeta. I purchased two large sourdows because I wanted to give one to Haley to take home. That's Hayley? The Door Lady. Oh, lovely.

That's kind. I'm sure she said she bought us one. I had a child. No, yeah, you know what it was? Because you said you were real. I gave it to her. I didn't feel I was seeing you today. Fuck you.

That was mine? Yeah, no, that's that one. I started eating it. I didn't feel I was seeing you today. She went, I thought you a player and love. And you ruined it And now she's like I bought one for Haley

You're such a work It's true I thought that would be lovely Tonight in the pod Produce these big loaves for you It'll be amazing And she's like I'm ill

And I was like Oh well I'll give one to Haley And eat the other So blame your sister for that one Well I don't know What I would have done With that massive loaf of bread

To be honest It just would have been Visually nice But you know I don't have a time With the cake or something Two loaves. With the fucking pastel that one.

Two loaves. Spanacopater. A chai. A chai, I'm actually okay. A chai latte, ginger latte. And then Joni was with me. And I actually made her late for school. Because I was like, I just got to go.

I've never done that, you know, ever. She's like, Mommy, it's 8.35. I said it'll be fine. We got in the shop and she was like, oh, have a button. They'd be like, hi, darling, what would you like? Bacon roll. And the roll was in a warm, brie-horse roll. I can't believe it.

How much is that all? 30 pounds. Coffee, two loaves of bread and a bacon sandwich. And a span of cup of dough. Slice. Yeah, but. I mean, it's a hefty slice. And the bread is large.

No, it is. People do like... I know, but it's all... No, I know. It's this different. Yeah, no, it's amazing. And it's organic. I don't know.

It's organic. Grass fed. Can you buy it? Can you buy a whole... Spanacotta? I'm sure if I asked, we could. And she went... And how long did it?

And what was so lovely is they've got these like, like make your own bread sourdough. Kist. A starter kits. Like, with the staff, with this. Like, all excited. I was like, yeah, I don't know. fuck a bite for, but they're so cute.

So it just looked so nice. She was in. That's a nice gift. But, you know, how lovely. And it had like a starter kit for salad. I just thought it was really nice. Anyway, the story continues. We get into the car talking of Joni's food problems where she's fussed. Oh, she fume about the

brioche. She got in and she went, I could see her in the back. I said, eat it, because we're in school in six minutes. Eat your roll. That's cost me 400 pounds. Eat your roll up. I don't want it now. Did you eat it? No, I didn't want to.

Because I knew I was going to eat a large span of copter for the day. So I got it, put it in the seat, and it was pouring with rain. It was freezing. Then I saw my Derek, the lollipop man. You go it to me? I wound down the window. So everyone's fucking got gifts today. I mean, Joni's fingered this fucking bacon sandwich for 10 minutes.

No, no. And then she's like, here, Derek, have a chew on that. Fucking poor bloke. She's probably like Licked a bit of bacon No, she had And I said to him Look, all she's done is pull that bit off

And then she's moan that she didn't want it What's the bacon? It was freezing, just lovely thick Or just lovely bacon Farm shop bacon A little bit of ketchup A little bit of ketchup And I said Del

And he went oh And it was poor in Moraine He said I'll enjoy that And then when I picked her up tonight He went oh that was really lovely Thank you It got me through the morning If you had given that to me

and there was ketchup in it, I'd have been absolutely heartbroken. Brown sauce for you. No sauce with bacon. Disgusting. I can have mayo. Tomato sauce brown sauce brown sauce for that. I don't ketchup.

No, brown sauce with sausages, nothing with bacon. Don't mind. No, not interesting. I would take nothing with bacon. And brown sauce with bacon is even worse. It makes the bacon taste funny. Anyway. Anyway, Christmas ads went well.

They did, didn't they? No, we've got time. We've got time. Fucking Elf. She is on one. She did just bore us with a fucking bakery story. I had to do it. That sounds good.

Hi, Nat and the rest of you, lovely lot. I just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to King Gary. I'd never heard of it before and it's bloody fab. I've binged all episodes. over the weekend and can't believe they only made two seasons and one Christmas special. Also, I wanted to say I'm going to give the Tension Rod Garland thing ago for the first time this year. I've ordered all my bits from Amazon so I'll send picks when it's arrived and up. Lovely. Please do you do it?

No, I've decided that this year I'm, no, do you know what it is? It's just, I know it sounds stupid, it's time. Like, I want to get, I want to do it properly and we've just had the walls painted. I know that then it's going to mark it, so I'm going to just wait. but please send the pics. I've had a few people send. Well, that was from Kelly in Maidenhead, and she said, thank you for keeping me company on my way to work.

You're welcome. And King Gary, just for, I'm buzzing that you've watched it, because it's so good. You've never seen it, have you? I've seen a couple of episodes, but I've not. You need to. It's really good. You need to invest in it.

Are they not two Christmas specials? I believe so. Kelly, was it Kelly? Kelly, you've got one waiting for you. Because the first one is the lights. Correct. And then the second one is when they drive and it's the house. That one?

I think so. Yeah. Can I watch the Christmas Eps without watching the other. Yes, not really. What about you? Hello. That Motherland the other day. What?

Oh, Christmas. Yeah. What about it? You said you've never seen it, the second one. Never seen the second one. I watched it the other night. It was all buzzing and then I'm like basically crying. I weren't expecting that.

So good, isn't it? So good. And there's going to be in a Mandelaan, Christmas special. Oh, yes. Oh, so excited. That'll help you a headache. Yeah, sorry. Jennifer Saunders is playing the sister. I know. No, it's so good. Did you see my Instagram post today? There's a new drama coming out with Dawn French.

No. And the guy from Friday Night Dinner? No. It's going to be amazing. I can't remember the name because I posted it, but it's going to be brilliant. Sounds amazing. And someone else said, Nikki, how dare you, how very dare you make me binge watch all of Ken Garry. and now it's finished and I am devastated I loved it so much

now into here we go thanks as ever for your podcasts sorry looking at me it went me just looking at it wasn't there is only one we're talking about the same one wow how many is it one series king gerry two two it's so good alright I'll do that I have watched some

it's really it is good she she's just she cracks me out because she wants to be like the mum comes in with her Gucci shit yes I do remember yeah it's great where do I watch this BBC I Perfect, I'll get on that. Get right on it.

Watch the Royal Family last night, didn't I? Did you? Yeah, so good. I love it. Yeah, the Christmas one, yeah, it's good. All of it, just all of it is great. Christmas ads? Shoot.

No, mine's obvious, I feel. Why? Obvious. The one I love. John Lewis? Yeah. I loved it. I've loved every fucking thing about it.

Could you give us, why? I love it because. I'm sure, I mean, not that I've got this yet, but I'm sure anyone with a teenager, son or daughter. Like me? Yeah. You connect, they're connecting through music and you get to that awkward stage where there's not much in common.

Oh, I loved it. I cried, I loved it. But they're not connecting through music that he's bought him the gift of... Yeah, that's the whole moral of the thing, isn't it? It's like... Yeah, it's not very Christmassy for me. Oh, I love it. I loved it. I thought the song was

stunning. Love it. What a banger. I started putting that on every morning it fucking gets you pumping. Remind me? I know it but I could. Dun dun dun dun da dun do. And it is a good song but just feel I don't love it when he's

like in the club and No way because that's like nightly well that's your, it's like 90s No I know but for me I want a Christmas ever It's Christmas. I know but for me I understand the story. I think it's a great advert

But it can get in the bin for me for Christmas Agreed However No, I loved it The partnership Between John Lewis and Waitrose Has worked an absolute treat Because what they've done is

They've gone with that And then for me My favourite advert this year Has to be Apart from Eminus food But that's different Oh it's good though I like the whole

Oh it's great Yeah Driving home For me It reminds me I feel like Dawn French is giving her kind of real Vicar of Dibbley vibes where she's falling over. A little bit Gavin and Stacey that, though, for me.

Well, no, Gavin and Stacey have got it from those things. What the, no, what do you mean? Well, Vickie in the car, being like singing Christmas and then Bibby and go, okay, how the fucking way? Yeah, but I don't, I think they've, I think that's happened many times before or in shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think so.

But in terms of Dawn French and her, just the way she was it reminded me I went back to watching the vicaridible which I loved but apart from that because it's food

the waitrose advert I know that's food as well What the fuck is she talking about It's just a story It's very very long What is it? Oh have you not seen it Remind me

I feel like I have Joe Wilkinson Oh my God How incredible is that I watched it By the end I was heartbroken Is that real?

Or is that AI? It doesn't look like him though, does it? AI? Some two people you'd put together. I wish I could put him on speakerphone now. He looks really different. He looks young. He's young.

No, I know, but he just looks... It was wait-trows. He had to freshen up a little bit. Yeah, I know, yeah, I get it. Thank you and nightly. How brilliant. Oh, and when he brings the pie, and I'm like, oh, my God. We need to speak to him.

I need to speak to him about it all. Yeah. I need to understand it all. Yeah. Also, did they do that pre-traders, or did they do that when they knew he was in the traitors? Wonder why he got the job? He was in Wait a while. Was he?

Yes. Oh, wow. He's done all right, aren't he? Yeah, he's cracking. Well, no. Look at him absolutely rinsed up tonight. No, no. What was last year then?

He was in it. Didn't they do something to do with the line of duty last year? I don't really remember. The two from the line of duty were in it. And then he was in it as a character, uncle, whatever. Absolutely brilliant, really lovely. So it's like the Love Actually thing, isn't it? Well, they thought that.

But he wasn't, he was bringing a pie. He didn't hold the things out again. No, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very, very good. Really, really good. So, yeah, the John Lewis family of fun very well, I think. Are we waiting for Eminus fashion?

Because I haven't seen it yet. I haven't, no, I don't know. They're doing loads of heads at the moment. I can't keep up. Brilliant. I'm not too sure. For me, it's the, it's not really on the telly, though. That's okay.

I've seen this on Instagram, the Wallace and Grommet, Barber. It's absolutely so beautiful. And it's just so clever. And just, what a genius move? Just, they both buy each other, the same scarf. I haven't watched it actually. And then he, so he gives it, he's, he's got, we're going to have to watch it when we finish this. But just to give you a, he's got this new machine that wraps, unwraps and all of this.

So he gives Gromit the present and then he opens it in his scarf. So then Gromit gives Wallace his present and his little gadget will unwrap it for him. And they've got, he's like, oh, we've got the same, puts it on. then he's still on unwrap mode so then he takes off all of Wallace's clothes and then the choir singer's come but then they say something like it's to do with Barbara always like

because it covers all his bits but it's just, oh it's really good fantastic, really clever in it? Really good. I saw another random advert today on Insta. I don't think it's for Christmas but it's Olivia Coleman in a fish and chip shop

and two people walking models in Burberry stuff and she's like, do you want fishing chicks, pickles, eggs? I was like, I'm working out here. I don't know, I haven't seen it, no. No. It's not sure. It's about quintessential British things. No, right.

Burberry. Oh, the only Burberry thing I saw was the Joanna Lumley and the Jennifer Saunders. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. She was amazing, yeah, yeah, again, just genius. Very good. I love it when it's a stroke of genius.

Yeah. Like the Montclair with... Oh, my goodness, with Alperchin. No, and De Niro. Really? Have you not seen it? No, they look. Unreal.

Is that this year? Yeah. Wow. Credible. Like a campaign thing. Oh, gosh. Amazing. Oh, that's good.

That's good. It's nice when it feels authentic and genuine. Yes. Rather than just like. Dumping stuff in print. Yeah. What about Kevin? Oh, that's what I was going to say?

Kevin the carrot. I haven't seen that. You haven't seen Kevin the carrot? It's, um, go on that. You explain. Well, what I really like about. the LD is they have part one, part two,

so it's like a miniature soap opera and you wait for it. So the first bit, what's her name? Katie. It is, Katie the Carrot, because they met and they've had a romance last year or whatever.

And now it's sort of her wedding is coming and she's got a face pack on and the phone rings and he goes away with the lads and they're all out. On their stag. Oh, it's brilliant. But then he gets whisked off to Lapland

And all the boys are like, we've lost Kevin. And she's like, what do you mean we're getting married tomorrow? She's like, we're getting married tomorrow. Yeah, they're all kicking off. And they're there trying to decorate it. And then a massive magic steam engine comes along, big train that he grabs onto. And then they're all going, like, shooting down the thing. And it's like, and then she's at the altar with her dad.

And it's like, we'll Kevin make it in time. Oh, it's great. So we're waiting to see if he makes it. Oh, I need to see that. But what did I love that it was like, he's on his stag and she's on the hen? But what did they do to represent? Did they have like the animals or something? Yeah, because of all the dears.

Oh, yeah, but I thought how clever all the hens. It was really good. Very, very good. Oh, yeah, that was it. And he's on the train and all the carrots are there. And there's obviously like a little pear mate. Oh, yeah. He's like, oh, it's all gone pear shape, mate.

And the bloke's like, all right, calm down. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Really good. Can you imagine that being your job? Oh. What being the carrot or? No. Or the pair.

Creates. But the pressure now, though, because everyone's like, Well, they're not just adverts, they're whole stories. I would be upset you don't like the John Lewis one. I'm not saying I don't like it. I think it's got a beautiful, beautiful meaning behind it. Christmas isn't just about... No, but it is for me.

I don't want to watch an advert and I want Dawn French. I want Dawn French as a fairy. I want all the food. There's got to be important messages. Yeah, but they can still be done. They've done it all other years, but, like, they've done it all other years, but like the old man with the telescope. They've always been quite emotional.

They have always been emotional. But I just wanted more Christmas. I wanted to, didn't. Yeah, but that's, it's not, this is just representing Christmas isn't like all singing or dancing, is it, for everyone? No. No, but I want to see that. Oh, I like to.

Because it isn't, even for, I'm not saying it's not for us. It's the BFG one. I thought that was a bit boring. Oh, I really loved that. Sainsbury. Yeah. Really? Oh, it's cute.

Yeah, I like that. And I like that it's like you've got a Sainsbury's worker, you know. Yes. And then you've got the BFG. I love that. I enjoy it. Really liked it, actually. They're all saving Christmas and they've got the thing out, I haven't known, the big train.

The worst one for me now is the Coca-Cola advert. What's wrong with you? I just find it just boring. Fuck you real. Don't say it. You knew it, though, didn't you? You're going to say. Well, I haven't seen this.

Is it the usual holidays are coming? Yeah, I like it. They stick to, I keep spitting. They stick to their guns. No, I like, don't change what they're about. Love it. And is it holidays are coming? No, I love it.

And I love hearing it. But I get excited to see Sainsbury's Audi, John. I just think, no. Yeah, no, I get what you mean. But I like that they don't try and be something they're not. They are what they are. But no one mentioned it. No, I was going to.

No one mentioned. I was just about to say, has anyone seen the Coca-Cola one? Because for me, it was always X-Factor, first advert, Bosch. Well, when you saw the Coca-Cola one, that's when you knew it was Christmas. I'm going to say one thing

when you're watching the telly. You don't watch adverts. And you're on the... I'm a celebrity final. I actually do sometimes watch adverts. Do you? Yes. But whatever it is,

it's the big sort of night where all the adverts come out, and Sainsbury comes on and this one. I don't have that anymore. And then John Lewis comes on. Yeah. I'd be like, oh, you wouldn't, you'd be like, oh, I'd cry, you'd be like, oh, my, it's so hard-women. You wait, you wait when James is a teenager, I'll watch it back.

No, I get it, I get it. I love it. But we don't have that anymore, do we? Well, you do? No, yeah. We do. Yeah, people don't watch adverts, that's the problem now. But I do, now, this time of year, I like, have I TV on.

It just plays throughout the day, adverts. But, yeah, you just watch everything. But you still have adverts on like ITV player X, where it's called. Yeah, I don't watch anything on ITV. But I'm saying when is that night where all the adverts, do you remember?

We're still on, darling. No, I know. I'm saying, but it'll be... No, but it's still there. People still watch live television. No, let her fucking finish. The night where they show all of the adverts, a program, 2025 ads. So it used to be X Factor.

I keep the spirit of... What are you talking about? Why she keep talking about X Factor for? I know, actually, that was on. Like in the day, or Saturday night, X Factor would be on. Right. That would be the night. Every advert would be a new Christmas advert.

Yeah, that's not the case in all, because they released them on YouTube. I thought you meant about a program. But another good thing that you can do is just go on YouTube, type in 2025 Christmas ad. And then... And then it will throw you back. Oh, that's why I like. And I've done it a few times.

Who told me they did it? Michaela up it. I got in a job. Lewis little loophole there we go but then you can watch do you remember that one that we used to say that dad he looked like the guy oh my gosh what was that was that and it was like it was like a pub in the middle of nowhere and he walked in yeah and he walked in it was all snowy outside and he what was that advert was it say it's free oh it was beautiful yeah but what's your favourite john Lewis one then well for me lily ellen somewhere only we know is my

favourite song. Okay, what's the advert? Yeah, I mean, they always smash the songs, you have to admit. I wonder if... I'd need to look back and I'd need to watch, and I might do that. I'd like to know. I liked the one with the duck, was it? Penguin.

The penguin. Monty. Monsie. Penguin, duck, who gives a fuck? Same shit, different day. Can't fly, can they? Live in the water? I'm going to have my eyes it

I'm going to whip my mouth on Billings don't live in the water Ice What is wrong with you She did a really funny bee She watches David Antbrough Oh my God

Oh God Go back and watch your Christmas ads We'll need to check on that one I think it's Remember the ones with the dog jumping on the truck? I know it's Monty, because I had to go eBay and spend $420. On a penguin. So I know it was that one.

Where's Monty now? Monty's still around. Good. Yes. And Edgar. Edgar, the dragon. Oh, yeah. What was that one?

You were such a dick-in-chid. She's the one on there. Big, think. Oh, my day. For my John Lewis. He's not fat. They don't care. For me, only.

Well, thank God they don't care. She'll be buying them a fucking. record something that'll be it this year just going to do this I'm going to come down the stairs they'll love it you should introduce them to that song what the fuck is this I quite like that though that it's not materialistic

there we go absolutely making it was 425 pounds on the stuff no it wasn't I'm exaggerating for comedic reasons it was 420 pounds What was our favourite? Sweating. What was our favourite? Sainsbury's.

Why am I never involved in this? Because you weren't around. We didn't like you. Lorraine. No, you were busy. Yeah, oh. And we used to drive up to our London shopping day and just blare it. Do you remember that one time?

We both cried. What was the song? It's the James Corden one. It was the San Diego. Brisbane's advert James Corden's song If only there were more than one of me What was it?

You're right It was a clone He had to clone himself Oh it was Oh the guy He wasn't in the advert But it was an animation Wasn't it?
