Hello everybody and welcome to Life with Nat. I'm with my beautiful nieces. We've got quite a lot to catch up on girls. Not looking so beautiful. No. Well, you two do. I'm not sure. Lovely.

I don't know why you say that. You're very fresh. Nice. Really? I've not brushed my hair today, genuinely. Mm-hmm. Have I done, I've got it. You haven't brushed it.

I bet you have. No, I may be quickly in the end. Look at the state of it. Nothing. Just took it out of a ban. It's all right for some. I've brushed it. You're a poet.

And you know it. How have you got tonsillitis? Yeah, that's a bit eggy. Oh, I nearly went polka dot. On my nails. Oh, everyone's Olivia Deaning, aren't they? I think it's just a thing. You were, weren't you?

Yeah. You know, Poked up. I saw this thing on TikTok with these people doing... Pockado! Pocaut up, yeah. I was hoping to be on there. Not seeing myself yet. Yeah, there were so many people with polka dots.

It was so good. Still on trend. It was fantastic. Why, though, sorry, I don't get it. I think, like you say, it's on trend. No, but what's it got to do with Olivia Dean? That was just a theme. Yeah, I think she just, same as everyone fucking dressing up as a cowboy to go see Beyonce.

No, but that's because it's... No, I know. I think she's just worn a lot of... Oh, she's worn potterty. Yeah. Fine, all right, fair. It was cute. Everyone was like, oh, you've got your poker dots on, or people had a little hairband on.

It's good. Loseers. I don't know. I'm really gutted about it. And I knew. I knew straight away. Well, yeah, I think you would know. Yeah, but how does it just come on, bam, out and I've been fine all day.

And I literally went, oh, my throat's gone. Felt a bit clammy. Yeah, that is good. Yeah, look to be like that. Full clagged up. Anyway, yeah, luckily I went to the pharmacy, got antibiotics. Well, you're a trooper. An absolute trooper.

I thought I'd start with this else just for you. Hi guys, that was me and my husband Mick that came to Brighton. He's the Chelsea fan that Misty's batch to come with me. And we've really enjoyed it and had a few drinks too. Congratulations on two years of the podcast and hope you have many more. Love Tracy and Mick. Oh, yes, Tracy and Mick now.

I love that. There you go. There you go. So, so sweet. We've had so much correspondence about. I just feel like we've been talking a lot about a lot of subjects, so we need to get through some of it. But before we do, any new stories, anything we want to talk about?

I just saw on my way here a sign for fireworks night. You didn't. It must be old. Shut up. Well, I've not seen it before. So it's new to me. From yours to mine? Correct.

A blue sign for fireworks night. In fact, I will try it tomorrow. You look for it. Saying what? I just saw, I didn't see it. It was too small, but I saw fireworks night. Maybe it's a night rather than it being the 5th November. I did think.

I did think. And we're very, in the village, we're very, what's the word? We like to let people know because of animals and stuff. What are they doing then? I don't know. I'll have to go for a walk and find out. There was fireworks the other night near me actually, you mentioned it. Why? Why? Who's doing that? Oh, it depends. People like a celebration.

Might have been a wedding. Baby shower. No. Gender reveal. Who knows? Could be a baby shower. What about the one you sent me? No. A listener sent me that. That is wild. So how can we explain it to the listener? So it was a couple having their gender reveal and they were facing the scene and the setting.

And on the screen was the start. art of Lion King. That's correct. Am I na-da. Rafiki gets Simba. And then when they do that, and then the, all the colours and the fireworks.

Oh my God. I mean, a lot I'd gone into that. I thought fair play. I mean, people must have been thousands as well. But the screen, the projector screen. No, I've got no time for it. It's incredible. Absolutely incredible.

What else? This weekend was the old bank holes. Yes, it was, yeah. Do you know what? I was thinking, what does this go out? It's my brain, it's always working. It's tough, isn't it? Yeah, I don't know.

You were away. You were quiet one for you, wasn't it? Yeah, I had a nice quiet one. We went out Friday, didn't we? We did. That was nice. Where did you go Friday? Over the road.

Oh, did you? Yeah, a few drinks, a bit of live music. I had live music. Oh, really? Yeah, how cute. It was cute. Then we came back here and decided to put on Oliver. because Ruby's been learning about it or doing the songs in drama,

food, glorious food. And she loves it when I go, more? Yeah, it's funny because I've been calling James Oliver because his favourite word at the moment is more, so I just get calling it one of that. But we put it on, and they were really enjoying it, and then I don't know if it got late and we went. But I did think maybe it was good that we stopped it then

because it does get a bit dark. It does get very, very dark. They're a bit young, I think, for that, right? Dickens' stories are extremely dark, But yeah, we watched it up, you know, we watched all the good bits. And then I thought, well, you can't be getting to the bit where he kills Nancy. Yeah, it's a bit much. Spoiler a lot.

If you haven't watched Oliver, go or read it. Yeah. Oh, dear. Don't. Talking of reading, can I just say for everybody, the Kathy Burke autobiography review, we're going to save for a little while. There's a lot that we want to say. Rowe has listened to it.

No. I'm nearly there. I can't listen to it all and I'm fuming. I think I've got 13 days left and then I can re-listen to it. And what's that? You've run out of listening hours. Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing. Did you have to buy it?

No. Oh, so it's free on Spotify. And it was funny because I put up a post to say I'm absolutely fuming. I've got like 20 minutes left. And then Claire message saying, oh, do you know what? The last 20 minutes were the besters. I thought you was going to say, Schumann said, Don't worry. It was a load of shit anyway.

But yeah, we're pausing. We haven't forgotten about Book Club, but I'm just going to pause it for a little while. Don't panic. We're going to do a review. There's a lot going on. There's a lot of exciting changes to the pod. And I just want to crack on with the episodes for now. But Book Club will be coming to you shortly.

Yeah, good. Because I actually listen to it. Well, I'm not going to talk about it now, but... No. I've got a stack of books at home that I've not even turned a page. What, from Book Club? Yeah, no, I know. I've got...

That's what happens when you have... a toddler. It's just a lot going on. There's a lot. There's a lot. No, do you know what it is? I'll tell you what it is. Guess what it is.

The game. The fucking game. Yeah, of course it is. I mean, the game. But also it's just, it does take time. I'm not really out on a back, like you've listened to it on the train or I don't, I can't do that. Even in the car, I can't concentrate enough. But you do.

Or I use that time to ring someone. I know, but all the spare time you have, you're sat playing a game on your phone. Not all. No. Well, watching some things. Yeah. And the thing is you can watch and play the game. Yeah.

Can't read and play the game? Can I ask what the game is? What is the game? Because I sat with on the train yesterday with Joni. And I asked her to explain what game she was playing. And I sat with it. I actually was looking and I thought, I could play this. And it was a house and buying the furniture.

Oh, yeah, that sounds good. And it was a town and different things. And then she was in a spa. And there was all massage things. and she got in the mud bath. I was like, this is unbelievable. It sounds excellent. It was so good.

I don't know. I could do with another one. Just when the energy runs out. It's called like Merge Home Mansion or something. It blows my mind. I got earlier into it and I don't even know how I stumbled across it. And now I'm ahead of my real. I just finds it mad.

I'm going to pop up that video. Oh, yeah. I shall pop it up for this episode because it really blows my mind. It's when you're going, have you got the sushi? I'm thinking, what are they talking about? No, because I can't believe it. How did you get the sushi? Oh, I've got the garden.

But Joe what kills there? He's like, how will it end? Yeah, no, it will never end. It would just like Candy Crush or what the other one, garden scapes. It just keeps going and going and going. Gardenscapes, is that sort of planting things? No. Oh, not at all.

Okay. You can do that farmville. No, but I'd like one where it's a greenhouse and you pot all the plants out. I'm sure there is. I'm sure there will be a game. Is it? Grow your crops and that. You won't do it.

No. I haven't got the time. Ah. No, because I'd rather read. No, yeah. I would suggest that's the better option. I read a lot of books throughout the day. Graffalo, Room on the Broom, Tiddler.

I did some reading earlier. He did. I nip around to see James for a half an hour. We did Gruffalo and. Room on the Broome and some new ones. The new ones from our lovely mindful bee people. Oh yes, lovely. Thank you for those.

I actually went into school on Friday before pick up and I went into Alfie's class and I was a mystery reader. So you have to give them free clues and they all try and guess who it is. So my clues were I drive a black car. I like playing Mario Party on the Switch and I make the best spaghetti and meatballs and all his friends got it then when I heard that. And I've read them a little. toy story four book because the film's coming out.

It was really cute. Yeah, it's nice to do that. Then I had a little chat with him after and was trying to talk to him about Lily Pad, the iPad, said you've got to play with your toys. He was going to say Lily Allen. I had a chat about Lily. We're going to my hoop class. I spoke about what I was doing with my week weekends coming up.

Oh, cute. Yeah, so it was cute, really cute. It's lovely going into school. I used to read. But do you know, like I was sitting there and I thought, do I have, I feel like I'm acting like a teacher. Yeah. It's a bit nervous.

Yes. What if they all just rinse me up and they don't listen? Yeah, that would be excellent. Alfie got a bit embarrassed, I think, at the start. Oh, bless you. So when you say the mystery bit, sorry, they tell them before. Did Alfie get it? Yeah, so.

Waiting behind the door. Fuck me, it's like what I like to you. It's like a game show. What's going on with these schools? That is excellent. I love it. They're like, who do we think the mystery eater is? Oh, so Alfie didn't know you were going in.

No, I didn't tell him. But he'd ask me before. He was like, Mommy, can you be a mystery read? I said, I haven't got time for that. No, that's cute. That's really sweet. Really love me, yeah. I feel like you'll be writing with the school.

Yeah, I love that. I feel like you'll be writing, you'll be doing the WhatsApp, you'll be get Qui. No, I don't think I've got time for these WhatsApp. No, I thought that would be me and I'm not. But it's funny because when the school mum's like, she does everything. Yeah. I love her, but she's right in there. She went, I haven't even done that yet.

I didn't know about that. I was like, oh, I didn't you reading. We were saying the other day, though, about the school. Gates, I have to say, after many years at the school, I don't know anyone. I know the people that I know, and people go, you know so-and-so, did I do with that mum? And I go, no. And my friends are like, what are you talking about? How do you not know who that is?

Some and so's mum, and I'm like, who's that? Yeah, because you're not there enough. As in you go there, you pick them up, you don't hang around. And also, like, for me, the girls, I know a few of them, but Alfie doesn't play with the girls, so I only know. Yes, of course. The boys. I know the boys more so, do you what I mean? Yeah. And also...

And they get older and they have bigger parties and they want to invite the whole class and things like that. The parties get smaller. Yeah. But it's more like Alfie's my first at the school, whereas some of the mums have already got kids in the old ones. So there's siblings. Exactly. You know, yeah. But, yeah, it's funny old.

It's a funny old thing. And you sent that fantastic thing about the school mums at the gate. Who was it? It was on TikTok. And it was the gym mum. The guys were talking, yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that from? I can't remember.

It was a pod, wasn't it? The guys that, he was in Harlow. Oh, Josh James? Yeah. Who, me and Jack went to say. He loves his standards. And they were creased, yeah, they were saying, you know, yeah, you got the gym. The adenoma, yeah, exactly.

Yeah, it was very good. You got the mum who has just not even brushed her hair. Then you got the mum that looks like she's, you know, just come out of like CEO. Yeah, very good. Very good. So true. I know you're saying there aren't any stereotypes, but they're definitely are. Yeah, definitely.

We had this message from lovely Dagmar and she said, oh, what a joyous et this morning. You've made my heart so happy on my work commute and whilst on my breaks, loved every second and laughed out loud throughout. Thank you, girls, lots of love from Dagmar. That lovely, that was from our last episode. That was very nice.

Thank you. We had a recommendation for a restaurant, which you sent on from Miss Linz-Pee. Hi girls, thanks so much for recommending Titanic, the best show ever. Next time you're in London, I highly recommend for you Pickey Bit Queens to go to champagne and Fromage restaurant in Covent Garden. Oh, I remember, yes. Picky bits galore and raclette melted cheese potatoes with cured meats.

Sounds banging. Sign me up. Sounds good, didn't it? So try and remember that, because we should do that. Save it, put it in the group. I will do. I went to a little place like that. It wasn't that, but it was like, I don't know if it was in Soho way,

but it looked like a little French in the Alps, like, yeah, in the mountains, like a little shit. You won't believe what I thought. I thought. She was meant to say in the alcoves. I thought she just said a fucking Alps. And you go in, oh no, Swiss. Yes, the Alps.

Yeah. Oh, was that in Switzerland? Yes. Oh, perfect. Or France. I'm going to get annihilated for that, but I'm sure they're all mounted. But the Alps is Swiss, isn't it? The Swiss Alps.

I look at a try and look quickly. I don't know. Anyway, yeah, you do all the melted cheese. Wooden, cozy. It's really cute. Ski chalet vibes. Yeah, I'm glad. Maybe it was that, and we don't know.

No, that sounds, what was it, sham? Champagne fromage fray. Yeah. Champagne fromage fray. No, it isn't that. She's agreeing with me. It is. Not a fromage fray.

No, champagne and fromage. Yeah. Champagne and cheese. Champas and cheese, though, really. Yeah. Who aren't champagne and cheese? You got to have a vino, red wine. Anything's fine.

Nah. What do you mean? It's just a name. It's not, you haven't got to have champagne and cheese. No, I know, but I'm just. saying it's not. Like, it's like having lasagna with mayo. Oh.

That. What lasagna? Do you know about this? No, I don't. When was this? Just now. When I turned up, she said, let me just eat a bit of dinner. I like mayonnaise on my lasagna.

What are you going to do about it? Oh, that is disgusting. This fucks up. I hope Ferdotra's not listening to this. I don't get it. I don't know why it happened. Where was said lasagna from? Did you make it?

I made it. I thank God for that. I said, did you put Benjamin? and he? Yes. You're using that instead? I always have man with a lasagna. Noick.

What, just like on the side and you dip it in? That's not good. That is mad. Yep. And pizza. Yeah, I can get on board with the pizza. I don't know why. I don't know what happened with a lasagna.

But I don't like a lasagna hot. I like it quite not cold, but just warm. With the mayonnaise. Lovely. I have a friend that can only eat spaghetti bolognese, like in bread. Like as a sample Like she has to get a slice of bread Put it in and eat it

Not the spaghetti Just the bon of it Yeah all of it Who's that? No I won't name and shame What are you talking about So she couldn't have a bowl of spaghetti No she'll have like three slices of bread

And she'll fill it And but she'll have it as a bowl But she'll fill it But she has had it Without it before Because I've been a witness I think maybe Because I said she was a disgrace

I mean you can't beat Bolognese on a bit of bread with butter No you can't stunning I might do that later I've got I mean I'm sorry I've got Bolognaise We're sorry we just used to get not even the Bolognaise just a red sauce Yeah We would choose to do that in between some bread

That is lovely That is unbelievable Or when the sauce is cooking and you dip it Yeah But you get really hot and melting And sweating But it's so good It's just like soggy bread

With nice bit of butter on it though So the batter will melt I'm starving Can I just say that I have to say that we've had two messages from Steph and they're all about food. Oh, well, do it while we're perishing because we're so hungry. Listen to this. Hey, Nat. Hey Nat's fan.

I just wanted to send you a short message to, yeah, express my gratitude for the amount of conversations that you lot seem to have about food, particularly Nat's nieces. You know, I'm just on the same wavelength. I'm bloody love food. on one of these people that wakes up in the morning and the first thing I do is think about what I'm going to eat and then when I'm eating whatever I'm eating, first thing I'm thinking about dinner, not just for that day but for the next day.

I just love food. I love shopping for it, washing it, preparing it, cooking it, serving it, cleaning up after it. I love the whole process, socialising, entertaining around food. It's brilliant. And just food obsessed. So, you know, keep talking about food.

I mean, the fact that you guys can have nearly a full podcast conversation related to beans on toast is just phenomenal. I just love it. Let's do more food chats. Let's talk about food a bit more. I think this country is obsessed. I don't think it's just me. I think we all love, you know, cooking from home, takeaway, baking, experimenting, following the fads and trends. Just, you know, yeah, in love with food.

I think you get the message. Anyway, it's Stephanie here from the Mindful Bee Books. And you talked about them on your Natch chats recently. And I have to say, this is how far your pod stretches because I'm having a virtual coffee with Lucy, who you had on the pod a while back, who's a therapist. So thanks for that, because without referencing our work, I wouldn't have met Lucy.

I really appreciate. the space that you've created and the opportunities that come from it it's just brilliant. All right, keep doing what you're doing. Lots of love you, you lot. Lovely step. What a great voice, no.

Yeah, really good. I love that. Talk about food, baby. Joe, I did love the other day. We went out for lunch and Ruby's like, I'll have beans on toast. I thought this is beautiful. Easy, not expensive, and she ate it all.

Fantastic. That's all I asked for. Absolutely, brilliant. You said the other day, I really want to cook something nice tonight. What did you make? When was that? It was a Saturday, maybe last Saturday.

Can't remember. I think it ended up being Eliza was out. I forgot that Mark was going away. I don't know what happened. No, no, no. Last Saturday. Oh, I can't remember that far back. I can't remember what I had this morning.

On Sunday, I thought I'd be really organised. So I was going to do seafood linguine. Yes, you were. I made the sauce with the white wine. But I'll do that just so that's, done because if I have a couple of drinks and I can just throw the fish in, it'll be easy. Throw the wine in. They're on my throat.

And I sat down, I put on some music, like live music, and it was all like black artists throughout the decades. It was incredible. Watch that, and then I put on some Gastonbury. I got absolutely hammered and then forgot to cook. Oh, good. So did you not eat? No.

Was you a solo? Maybe. Not. Thank God for that. No, I just got a bit carried away. Yeah, but I like those evenings. I've got some tinned cocktails. Literally just sitting there, but I just, yeah, and before I know it, I was like,

I was a little bit drunk, yeah. And you're watching and you're enjoying it. It's lovely. So, yeah, I'm going to eat that tonight. Oh, are you? What have you done with the, you've saved the sauce? Yeah. Okay.

There's no fish in it. No. Nice. Oh, and it's nice and quick. Exactly. Crack him. I like a prawn linguini. Yeah, me too.

I'm not bothered about muscles and stuff. I'm eating more prawns lately. Oh, well done. They seem to be, no, they seem to be agreeing with me okay. As long as there's not a shell there, I'm okay. Oh, really? Yeah. No fainting or anything.

No. Perfect. Good stuff. I don't feel like I can go for crab yet. But I'm trying to build up my immunity to it, you know, the allergy. People will be screaming. Shut up, get alive. If I want to have diarrhoea, I will.

Good morning, Nat. Just on the morning dog walk and remembered that I was supposed to message to say I really loved Monday's Epp. Thank you and Maria and Elia for making me laugh whilst I was on the evening dog walk. Once again, you've had a chat about something I was going on and on about on Saturday. Walker's Crisps. I bought two 12 multipacks from Liddles. I was most excited as they had the meaty pack as well as the normal one. Oh.

The what? The meaty pack. Chicken, bacon, beef. Which they don't really do anymore. Not really. Chicken bacon. But I had to say to Martin, the husband, that he would also need to pick up some more

when he went to Tesco on Monday because James, son, 21, eats three packets at a time now. To which he replied well, there's hardly any in the packet, so he has to have three, and that's why I buy the bigger bags. Of course, I can't get away with buying own brand multi-packs, but they will eat the posh own brand big bags.

craziness. Hope you have a great Wednesday. Love Sean. So I was right. You can't just have one. You can't just have one packet. I mean, I remember when we used to come home from school. Yeah.

And my friends used to crease up because I was like this scrawny little rake and I would sit and have about seven packets of crisps, I think. Our jaw was permanently stocked up. Can you get the black packet? Were they barbecue? Yes. Grace. We're banging.

Can you get them anyway? I'm not sure. Guys, let me know. I bet they're somewhere. No, I bet they're like... They were always the ones left. I know, but have you had the Marmite ones? I'm not sure.

Oh my God. Yeah, I'm not sure, but my... James is obsessed with them due to his grandparents. What, Marmite ones? Yeah, he loves them. They're so good. Not that he has a pack.

Does he have a little bit of marmite on toast? Sometimes, Bovrole. We're a Bovrole family. Oh, yeah, aren't you? That is mad as well, isn't it? Weird. I have got my... My might, but Jack likes bovrole and I don't have it. Like, he'll have bovrole on, if he has eggs on toast, he'll have bovro on the toast.

But I'm quite happy with it. I like bovrole. Sorry, just whine back a bit. He'll have toast spread it with bovril or an egg on it. Correct. Fair deuce. Yeah. It's just a bit more beefy.

Yeah. Is it like a stock? Yeah, I add it into, if I do a shepherd's pie, I'll add a little spoon full in. People have it like in water or a drink. In water? Just called a drink. No, in hot water. Yeah, in hot water they make a little drink, don't they?

They used to have it at the football. They had it when we went to up to Scotland. They had, people were drinking it. And iron brew, they were drinking, weren't they? Yeah, love a bit of iron brew. It cracks me up. It's good that. But if we, like, if you gave your child an iron brew, like, Alfa, you would.

No, you wouldn't, would you? No, you wouldn't, would you? Everyone's drinking it. Everyone's going mad for it. Really? It's funny, isn't it? I know, we used to have, I remember from the ice cream man

and the little shop used to get the WAM bars. Oh, my God. The Iron Brew Bars. Fantastic. But the WAM ones had like, but they had like little bits in little fuzzy bits in it.

Yes. Really good. But the iron brew bars when the ice cream man used to come, me and Dom used to get like five each because they were like 10 P. So good. I wonder how much they are now,

like five each. I don't even think they exist. Where'd you get them from? Yeah. Costco, I reckon. Have a look. Outrageous. I went for a walk on Sunday.

Yes. And this is going to sound really stupid. No, go for it. Nothing can be stupid here. I just can't believe how many people were out walking dogs. Right? I just, it's really... Sorry.

But that's generally the most people... No, I know. It's just mad how many people that have dogs. Yeah. People do walk. without a person. So many dogs. And it's lovely until it does a shit.

And I'm like, I can't, I can't do that. I saw this girl. Someone at the school. How do people do it? Because I don't know any of the mum's names, but someone at the school's got cockapoo puppies coming. Cockapoo puppies. If they didn't poo, I'd have one.

I can't do with that in the street picking up the dog shit. Yeah, it wouldn't bother me. In fact, our old nanny, I used to take Lily for a wall, no problem. It doesn't bother me the poo. No, it's not that deep. It doesn't bother me at all. No, really, I can't.

I can't do it. It freaks me out. No, for me it's a time. It is a, yes. And they're getting up. They're getting up early. Letting them out for a wee. Yeah, no.

But they're beautiful. But yeah, generally, I think if you're walking on a nice day, you'll probably see quite a lot of dogs. Yeah, no, it's just mad. A lot of dogs about. Everyone's got dogs. No, it's crazy, isn't it? I'll tell you something.

You know what this pod does? It is groundbreaking stuff. Honestly. If you want to learn something new, you need to get on here because it is amazing. Well, it's better than the other thing I was going to say. No, for fuck sake. Go on.

No, I just thinking the other day. We've got to make this some sort of, you know, like a do-do-do-do. We need a theme trick. This needs to be a moment. No, but isn't it weird, right? This is what I thought. I know it's stupid. but when you're at home, barefoot, lovely.

When you're out at work, when I'm at work, I'm in shoes all day long. What's bad though? What's going on? She is turning into carpilocks, no, but that can't be good for you. No, I agree with you. Do you mean? It's not like you're sitting at your desk at work and you feel I should take my shoes off for a bit. I used to be barefoot at work.

Yeah, see, you'd wear slippers. Filthy dirty floors as well. Some people have to wear certain, like if you're wearing... What shit? What she's trying to justify it. Yeah, don't justify it. No, I'm not just saying you wear like a heel. You just make me want to take my socks off actually.

It's so hot in it. Yeah, like if you're in heels all day, that's a lot, isn't it? Why are you wearing heels to work? Some people do. Some people do and some people it's kind of the dress thing. Yeah. It's different now. Fuck that. No.

If I was in the city high flying, bang, bang, bang. I'd be smashing up my train. And all the blocs would be like, wear your heels. And I'd go, bang. No, but sometimes you can't. Bang, that's my heels. No, but some people, obviously, you wear your trainers on the commute, don't you? There are a lot of smart shoes now.

I think times are probably different. Yeah, you can wear your ballet pumps. But there are, yeah, you've got your nice loafers. Yeah. It's different. But still. But it's mad, isn't it? All day.

Do you mean just like trainers as well? Well, obviously, because she was talking about herself. She doesn't wear a kitten house. It's just fascinating, isn't it? It's not fascinating at all. It's just a bit. bizarre. But you wouldn't wear shoes indoors all day, would you?

No, but you're in your own home. I know. Some people do. Some people do. Yeah, that blows mine. And I tell you what, when I used to be at work, and I used to say, where are my slippers? And they'd be like, oh no, no, no.

I said, no, no, Sonia's at home. I want her to be in a slippers or have nothing on. So I'd just take my shoes off and put them by the telephone to the table and have socks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you watch EastEnd, there's a lot of people are in shoes at home. Yeah, it's true. No one takes their shoes off. It's weird.

You go in and people used to be like, oh gosh, bang on the back the shoes again. No, but it is true. But I'd say no, I'm at home. Or when people come around, why when people come into people's houses, don't they say take your shoes off? Yeah, it's very true. People just go, all right, Max comes in. He's like, and he just walks in. It's like, well, you're fucking joking, Max.

Take your shoes off. Just trolling dog shit, mate. Yeah, no, I love taking my shoes off. Some people don't. Ray wears barefoot when I watched Ray at Strictly Come Dancing. Yeah, at a concert, she was barefoot. She's barefoot all the time. Bowling through the studio, barefoot.

No, it's not. She wants to be comfortable. I like that. Yeah, if I'm wearing a nice dress, so I'd like a little shoe on. But, yeah, no. I'd like to be like Ray and just be barefoot all the time. I mean, you read your feet out. I saw on the Marxist thing.

She's got a feet out in it. Is that necessary? People love my feet. Who? Who's people? Who knows? She's building up a phone club. I was going to say you've got something to tell her.

I thought I can't believe what I'm watching here. It was only a quick flicker. Do I look at the barnet or the feet? I don't know what to look at. I haven't seen it. I don't know what you're talking about. That's worse. I haven't been on social media.

This weekend. Talking of social media. Talking of one thing I was going to mention. Yes, I beg you pardon. What about this morning? This morning? What's the plan tonight? Good morning.

Fuck it. She's a bitch. Not said a lot It's 7.32. It's true. Not morning everyone. Morning girls. Morning guys.

Morning. Morning. What's the plan tonight? What's the plan tonight? I just don't need all that at the time. Weird. So rude. I did.

I thought, oh, she's moody today. That wasn't moody. No, she was good as gold after. It's where she's got stuff to do. She's busy, isn't she? I know. Just say morning.

I'll say morning. Next time I'll say happy Tuesday. No, but you wouldn't walk into work. and go, have you got that thing? You'd say morning, Sarah. Have you, did you get that email? So why does Sarah get a morning and we don't, we don't get one? Because she likes Sarah more than us.

Yeah, bitch. Hate Sarah. Who the fuck Sarah? I hope you haven't got her someone. My director, Sarah. Oh, sorry. Oh, really? Oh, wow, sorry, we did just make that up, I promise.

Talking of social media and things and funny things, one of my favourite things that I've seen this week, and I know it's really, really old. I know I'm old. The algorithm comes to me five years late. But you know the one about, oh, I can't believe Jenny. She goes, why haven't all girls got acrylic nails? And then there's, have you seen it?

Why don't everybody get their nails done? And then it's like a picture of a surgeon. It's like because I'm a surgeon, Jenny, and I save lives. Oh, I have seen it. It's like because I'm a gardener, Jenny. Or I'm a builder. Or I go to space, Jenny. And it's like always.

I have seen it. Very good. It's really good. I don't get it. She's quite empowering. She's saying, oh, why are you not getting your nails done? And they're saying, well, because I can't have my nails done because I'm a surgeon or I'm this or that.

Can you not get your nails done if you're going to space? Well, I'm not sure, but you know what I mean? That's sort of. Anyway, talking of that, sorry, I've got to say this. So talking about social media and all of that, someone sent us this and it made me lull. Because we did it. Hi Natalie, it's Kate from Glasgow here.

I think this is one for you and the nieces. It's a total ick and it's a new ick. Something I didn't know existed until Coachella. So obviously Justin Bieber was a huge success at Coachella, fantastic, good for him. But that song he's got, everything, Hallelujah. Agree. So now people are on Instagram. Everything is hashtag Sunshine Hallelujah.

hashtag dinner hallelujah hashtag all this fucking hallelujah it's driving me nuts I think it's a new 6-7 anyway hope you're good it's nearly the weekend

hallelujah cheers bye but when I heard it I thought oh no the video I did for the two year anniversary I put hallelujah over it mugged it No, I don't mind it.

It depends on the content. Yes. What people are saying. Yeah, no, I don't mind it. No, I like that. That's funny, very good. I saw one and I thought this is excellent. And it was, I don't know her name.

She's an influencer going into Zara and just going, what the fuck is this shit? If you want to wear a nappy? Big Bird, I was cracking up. Was it good? Because it's so true. Everyone goes, oh, come shopping shopping. to Zara with me

and everything's amazing and you look at it and you think oh that is nice but actually it's not and she's just cursing everything and I thought it's excellent very yeah nice to see try and send it to me I do like the videos

and I do like the memes I know I've said it before but I do think Instagram can be a fun place it does make me laugh yeah it's great makes me laugh no yeah definitely and cry

all good We've had so many messages about that, but yeah, lots of opinions on the... Oh, what about we had Supernanny, comment on our post? Lovely Joe. Yeah, there's a very, very divided person, but always like Joe, myself. I like her parenting style. I like what she says to people. No, I thought, yeah, I just, yeah, he used to love what you.

Yeah, thanks, Joe, I hope you listen. Maybe you just saw the old post, but I hope you listen because I think you'll agree with some of our stuff. Right, sorry. Let's come up again. What? People are obsessed. Naked attraction. Oh.

We've got a couple of messages. I need to watch. You've ever watched it though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need to watch. Is there new ones out? I'm sure. I'm sure.

Or is that they're still producing? Yeah. Have a listen to these. Oh, no. I am listening to the pod. Oh, it's an old one now. I'm way behind because life's been life in with you and your niece is talking about naked attraction. Now, I have watched Naked Attraction here there.

I don't set record, but I do watch it. My bloody surprise when a holiday rep from a hotel in Grand Canaria, so he stands and he does like the aqua size and, you know, he does the evening entertainment, he's in his 60s and he's naked. Brilliant. He's fucking naked. So, yeah. Yep, you do see people in strange jobs that you may know.

Yeah, if you need any more information, I am happy to divulge. See, we might have to watch it just to see if we can see someone we know. Oh, wouldn't it be hilarious? So funny. And here's the other one. Listen to this. Hi, Nat, and that's nieces. It's Vicki here from Langdon Hills, Basilden, Essex.

Just catching up on the pod. Goes without saying it's brilliant. Love you all. It's an amazing podcast. I'm just catching up on the 9th of April episode with Nat's nieces and you're talking about naked attraction again and I actually was asked to go on it. Previous to that I was on a show too ugly for love,

won't go into the details, but too ugly for love on TLC and they actually, after that, they said, oh, we need another person to go on naked attraction. I said, weirdly, I said, do you get, does your face get exposed? And I don't know why it made a difference that my face got exposed, but I was like absolutely not. So I guess from that I was thinking maybe I would go on it if I knew my face wasn't exposed. Clearly, I'm quite comfortable with the rest of my body being exposed, but not my face. Anyway, yeah, and also I do know a couple actually that went on there.

They were looking for a third person in their marriage. So yeah, I know someone and they're definitely real. Brilliant. Love you guys. Take care. Too ugly for love. I was just about to say I'm really sorry. No.

I'd like to dip into that a little bit more if you do want to send me a message 0778-8-1919. There's a program called Too Ugly for love. Hopefully that was a long time ago because that's obscene. That's like the one.

What was the one? What was it called? And he used to be like, You gotta go. You gotta go. You gotta go. You gotta go. You got to push him.

Oh no. That's man, no. Channel 4. Yeah, but even the other one, Remembering Paddy, no like it. No lighty, no like it. Yeah, they're programme. When you think about it, it's wild.

It's just what they're doing, like performing, like doing stuff to try and get a date. Like a plumber who's like, I'll fix your pipe. If someone's coming on. Right. So he's doing the present of Jack. Jack, yeah. If someone's coming on, getting in a leotard and then starting to like juggle, who's keeping their light on for that?

That's the fucking it, mate. No, but come on, no lighting, not like it. What do you mean? What was that? It was a heart. Yeah, and I can't remember the name. You got a good. Someone, someone please, tell us,

07-8, 2019-19. How do I remember that? I was probably like six or something. It's like Joan, though, isn't it, watching last one laughing and stuff? I haven't finished that. They would rinse you up on it. They'd rinse you up and be like, oh, your hair cut,

oh, you've got this, and you're just spotted. Really bad. Really bad. It's terrible. Absolutely awful, to be honest. Bring it back, I'll say. I can do everyone in. Joking.

Blind date. Oh, dear. Blind date. That was good. There were some... Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Absolute crackers, weren't they? There were some fantastic stuff on.

There really, really was. Oh, one from a lady called Kate. that I think you will both appreciate. She's at it again. It was bean, bean, half a bean, half a bean, bean, bean, that's what my dad awarded. But there you go. Okay, Dave will not be happy.

What is it? Bean, Bean, Bean, half a bean, half a bean, bean, bean. Sorry, I've got to stay loyal to my dad. Sounds better as well. I'm not going to know. We've had a new listener, which I just, it blows my mind. I know that, please God, we get lots of new listeners, but they're starting from the beginning and they are catching up.

I mean, that is dedication. That is like 220 plus episodes here. They're probably skipping a few. Possibly, but let's have a listen to this. Hi, Na, Amy here. I am catching up on all your podcasts because I only just recently discovered it. So I've been spending the last few weeks catching up. I'm nearly up to date.

I am currently at January, 2006. And you and the nieces are talking about things that you say within your family or home that other people might not understand. One of the ones that Elliot gave as an example was playing Trouble Pursuit. And every time you get a cheese, you say, smell my cheese. One that is in our family, anytime garlic bread. is mentioned, we say garlic, bread. Gallic and bread. And another one that is said between me and one of my best friends is from Gavin and Stacey. And it's any time we ever eat bream, as in the fish, we say breams can come true,

which Pam sings to Smithy whilst covering one of her eyes imitating big singer Gabrielle so I just thought I would let you know loving the podcast so far can't wait to actually be up to date but yeah Amy from the Isle of Wight

but I actually live in the south of France there you go thanks Amy but I just think how brilliant she's catching up I love that so so good So, so good. And this is my favourite message of the week before we move on to new Mooney Things. Favorite message.

It reminds me of you. El's Bells. These are all the times I say sorry. Mostly when I'm out and about, mostly when I'm being sarcastic, when people won't move out of my way in the supermarket aisles. So I'd be like, sorry, can I just get around, sorry? I do that a lot.

If I'm annoyed at someone Or like you know when you hear like a bit of gossip Or like you hear something that's really like shocked you I'll be like sorry Sorry I do that Or if I'm just being really polite And I'm just genuinely sorry

I'll be like oh sorry Yeah if I'm angry I'll be like Sorry Are you joking So yeah I do say sorry A lot Does anyone else

I love that is on point. Mum does that a lot, I think. Sorry? Yeah, she says sorry quite a lot. But I definitely do the first one. If someone's moody. You know, now Marxists have got the doors.

There's doors now. Glass doors at Brookfield. Through the glass doors. Sorry, just doors to the store. Sorry, doors to the store. I know how I was like, well, sorry. On the food, in the food aisles, it used to be minus 12.

The fridge. I understand. Now there are fridges everywhere and there are doors. No, I'm with it now. They widen the aisles, it's cracking. A bit annoying, but if someone is there, no problem. They're sort of standing next to me, but I'm scanning my shelf.

Maybe I'm looking. What, you've got the door open? No, trying to get said door, but the... No, no, I've got door open. Oh. But I'm going, just for... Usually I know what I want. Yeah, it sort of puts you under pressure.

Yeah, it does. You're under pressure. You're under pressure. So I'm there and I'm going, do I want the pulled pork or the beef brisket? You know, I'm not sure what slow-cooked meat to have for my bowel buns, but I'm just having a look. And you get, and I'm like, sorry, so sorry. Sorry, guard. I'm sorry, won't be a minute. Won't be a second.

Because people are in such a rush all of the time. I had it at the airport last night, yesterday afternoon. And we were queuing up to get a sandwich. I was just trying to get a sandwich for James for the plane and this woman was so close to me and like her tray she can't go anywhere so I turned around and I went oh sorry

she was like I said you're okay fucking get off my what are you doing literally get off my back oh it winds me up yeah but yeah the sorry is a very good one so many ways of saying it in the car sorry sorry I love it very good very good when you walk across the zebra crossing Do you say thank you?

Always. But you mind the thank you. No, I know. It's just the fact that people don't. Oh, but there's loads of people that just, they walk along there, they don't glance around. I feel right on you're over for a minute. It is technically there right of way.

I know, but I think it's nice to just do a, and I've always said to the kids say thank you. And I wouldn't just cross. I would wait to see if they stop. Oh, else. And say thank you. Oh, my God, we've done it. It happened again.

What? But the opposite. What? Well, do you remember Majestic? What? Do you remember Majestic? Do you remember Majestic? What do you do I remember it?

When we walked across the road. And the woman annihilated us for walking too slow or whatever we were doing. Sounds like it's a you problem then. We went to Eminest the other day. Right. We're in the car. I am driving through the car park, parent and child,

always take it very easy. Because I'm very conscious of that. I would anyway. I'm in a car. up. Yeah. And this woman has just walked in the road as if I'm not there. And then, and then she's gone, faced like a slept ass.

And she's walked past. She's gone past. And she went, why don't you drive a bit faster? And I went, sorry? Like that. And then she said, I said, I said, no, you just walked in the road. But the, and it, Bloom, I would have let her go. But there were no, she just walked.

It was like she was just, it. In the field. Yeah, people have got... It was the... But then she had a go at us. Yes, and I were driving too fast. But you're in a car park. But she wasn't in the road.

She was walking from a bay. She was still in the bay as I was approaching. So she should have stopped. Yeah, she was in said bay. It was really... In fact, she was kind of... She jumped out behind a car. Yeah, it was very bizarre.

And then had a go at me. So even today, I was driving through the high street and people were just walking in the road. and I thought if I would love to just run you over. Sometimes you have got to just... Sometimes you would. Sometimes you have got to just go for it. You just got to do it.

Yeah, I'll speed up. You sped it up? Sped it up. No, but it's because if you are getting hit, that's going to be on me and that's not fair. You can't just walk in the road. It's, um... I do that, though.

Yeah, it's a whole thing. I do walk in the road sometimes. There are some mad things that go on in the roads. It's fascinating though, isn't it? Girls, this one's for you. Joe Hello gorgeous girls Hope you're both good

I know you've both mentioned on the pod about tinting your own brows And I want to give it a go Don't ask me I've used that stuff that you put on And peel off But it doesn't last very long How hard can it be to do it properly

What do you use I'm not sure what to buy I've seen a couple of kits But I'd like your opinion first Thank you And that's from lovely Joe Yeah I think that stuff's all a bit of a con To be honest

Just buy the tint Just go to the wholesalers. Can you just go to the wholesaler? No, but you must have a friend or someone that's a beautician or hairdresser or your hairdresser. And just buy... It's a kit, the actual little kit. Yeah, but I didn't even do the kit. I just got the tint, the peroxide, little brush done.

Where did you get all that from? The wholesalers. Yeah. Mine came in a box, a kit. Yeah, you got a kit. I didn't. I just got them singularly. Did you want a little box?

Can't you just get it off Amazon, maybe? Probably. But why are you not, why you said don't ask me? Because you don't do it. Because you weren't here, you don't listen to the pod. I did it. Yeah. And I just wiped it off with no water.

And throughout the day, my eyebrows will getting darker and darker and darker. You don't ever take them off with water. How do you take it off? Just with a cotton pad. You never use water. Nor does any... Oh my God, this is mind blowing. Because I was saying...

Mine would develop. It was developing, developing, developing. Well, you do. You sort of want to leave a bit on. it on for 15 minutes and then you wipe it all off. Yeah. And then that's it. No, mine was still developing as the day went on.

I looked like the guy from American Pie, the dad. Okay, well. So now I use my cellar water. Well, yeah, you can do. Because everyone was saying if you have dye in your hair, you don't just rub it in. Maybe you had too much or not enough of something. A bit too much die maybe. Much.

Yeah, maybe too much. Yeah, maybe too much die. But no, just buy the tattie lash, not tattie lash. What's it called? Tattie lash. That's what you're talking about. But yeah, I will message you, Joe. Right.

Let you know. I wanted to buy the lip stain one. Talk to me about that, guys. What is it? It's like a lip thing. You put on and then you peel it off and it stains your lip, so it's done. Oh, I can have kind of a, like a rosy color if I want to. So if you're going to.

I'm terrible. I always do my lips before I go out. And don't top up. I would say I maybe do it on the odd occasion, but once I'm out, I'm done. So to have that would be really quite pleasant. Try it, babes. Yeah.

Maybe just any recommendations, let me know. Fabulous. So I found some numbers, didn't I, for us? They were good, by the way. Any particular numbers? Number. The number of our birthdays. Oh, okay.

And it popped up, didn't it? And I sent them on. You did. I've not looked at them. They are mind-blowing. So I'm going to do mine and then you two need to do yours. Where do I find this? What do I do?

On our Nats-Nese's chat, I've put three said photos in our group because I'm Uber-organised. Uber rates. Go on in. Go for it, girl. So, if you are born on the fourth, 13th, 22nd or 31st, now listen, I know this isn't the gospel, but this is incredible. Your colour, black. I love black.

Do you? I love wearing black. I was told I wasn't allowed to wear it, but I love it. Control, structure, the colour of someone who holds everything together alone. Your energy. You're the one people call when life falls apart. You fix things. You carry things.

You don't complain. You just handle it because no one else will. Your wound. Nobody checks on you because you make it look like you don't need it you're exhausted I've never known anyone who sleeps as much as her you can't be exhausted

I'm permanently tired not the kind sleep fixes the kind that comes from years of being strong with no one to lean on no no but I'm a strong person your medicine someone who shows up without being asked someone who carries something for once

so you can put it down I read that and I was like wow because I do. What do you do? I just crack on with stuff. I just get on with things. It's true. It's very true.

Well done. Now, when I read yours, it blew my mind. Mine? Shoot. Your colour, light blue, calm, depth. The colour of someone who feels everything but shows nothing. Your energy. Your energy, you're the steady one.

You listen more than you talk. People trust you with things they've never said out loud You make others feel safe without trying Your wound You swallow your feelings to keep the peace You put everyone first and then wonder why you feel invisible You're drowning and still asking if everyone else is okay Your medicine

Someone who notices when you're quiet Someone who chooses you the way you choose everyone else Because it's good, don't it? Not bad, it is And your Zelles bells Your colour, purple, free-ed Mystery, the colour of someone who refuses to be boxed in. Your energy, you need change or you die slowly.

Well, routine kills you. You crave new experiences, new places, new versions of yourself. You're hard to pin down and you like it that way. Yeah, that's true. True, isn't it? Your wound. You run before people leave. You disappear before things get hard.

You call it independence, but it's just fear dressed up in. cool clothes, you keep moving so nothing catches up. Don't really miss? Nah, I don't think that's true. This is going well. No, I don't really understand it, but yeah, go play. Your medicine. Someone who feels like freedom, not a cage, a reason to stay that doesn't feel like a trap.

So there we go. Some deep stuff. Deep stuff, man. And that's the 23rd, by the way. Yes, that's the 23rd. So that was the 5th, the 14th and the 23rd. Oh, I didn't do my. Sorry.

Mine was... That was Jack as well. The 11th, the 20th and the 29th. Very good. So, talking of the moon, I do have to bring this up because it did blow my mind. And I know we sort of touch on it and we're not massively moony people. But it was a few Fridays ago. I had this Friday and I promise you, I wish it was on my chat, Cheap T, or the history.

I got an email that was waiting for. Then someone phoned me. And then I did an amazing meeting and I made a choice. And then I went out and then I met someone from ages ago that linked up with something else. And then I got another email and that was amazing. And I got in the car and I thought, today it has to be a full moon. Something's going on. And I looked and it was Taurus's luckiest full moon of the year.

Wow. Wow. Honestly, I couldn't believe it. And the whole day just aligned everything. Bang. And I thought, no, it's got to be written in the year. the stars and it was. It is.

I find it fascinating. Yeah, it is fascinating. And when we do Hartford, I really do want to touch on manifestation. I really do. Just about wanting things and changing things and just having that input and having that impetus to go, right, I'm looking forward. Do you know what I mean? And going, this is what I would like, saying it, putting it out there.

I do. There is definitely something in that, isn't there? There is. Yeah. It is a beautiful thing. It's very, very powerful, very clever. It's good. Yeah, no, I've got a lot of time for it.

I wish I knew a bit more. Wish I could read a book on it. Yeah, I ain't got a time. Yeah, I'd like a game on it. I would like a proper moonology book. There you go. Birthday present idea. Put that down.

But a proper one. Not like, not a little tiny, oh, moon pocket diary or something. Proper book. About the moon. We've got to buy a presents. When's your birthday? We could buy a, you could get a bit of the moon, buy it for her. Next Wednesday.

Is it? Yeah. Shocker. Next Wednesday? Yeah. Oh no. You're doing a little birthday app? Oh, Tuesday and then Thursday.

But yeah, hopefully Thursday you'll be with me and we could maybe do a little something. Thursday? No, maybe Tuesday if we were called one. No. Also, quickly. Go on. I went to see the Michael Field. Oh, was it good?

Oh, my God, it was amazing. Really? Amazing. See mixed reviews. Some people love it. Some people say it's awful. Oh, my gosh. Why awful?

I don't know. Just on it. I've just seen bits. Amazing. Really? It's his nephew as well. Yeah, it's incredible. Amazing.

Obviously, looks like him, sounds like him. The dancing, the singing, the little, oh, it's beautiful. And I think they're going to make a part too. Oh, interesting. Oh, yeah. I would like to see that. Yeah, I'll wait. I'll wait and I'll see it.

I like watching those. the tell I love a biopic. What do you mean on the telly? I just won't go to cinema. I'll wait till it's on the telly and I'll watch it. I love Elton's one. I never got into that one.

Did you watch Freddie Mercury as well? Yeah, I love that one. It's the people that did bow rap. Oh, really. It's the same, yeah. Bo rap. Like, she's in with them. Po rap?

You don't like Bo rap? You don't like the monster. What is it, trucks? What's it called? Monster beasts. Hype beasts? Hot beasts. Monster trucks.

You know, yeah, it's the same people that did You know Beowrap? Because I really like Beowrat. I was part of producing Bowrap. Yeah, Fred Mark. Fred M. Bo rap. Fucking Bo Peep.

Bo rap. She always calls it Bo rap. Yeah, I watch like Bo Rap like ten times. So this is a thing. I've got a problem. Well, we know that. Which one are we starting with? I can't wait.

I really am. Can we try and just clip up the facts from the facts from this. this episode. Just Maria's facts. Bang, bang, bang, bang. I can't help but shorten things. I've realised that today. Abbreviations.

Yes, I had a new girl start today. Yeah. I've met her once. What you call her? Her name's Millie. Mills. Yeah, that's rude. Is that rude?

Yeah. That is very personal. That's me. Yeah, no, you can't do that. I am, that's who I am. You can't change me. I like doing that. I do it to everyone.

But she might hate that. She might like it. It's lovely. It's in. But what do people think about that? I do it all the time. I think it's really poor. I think especially at work in the workplace etiquette,

you talk to somebody. And you ask them. After a week or two weeks, you then go, would you mind me calling you? Well, no, but even on the first day, your name is, you know. There was another girl who was new, and I asked her, what do you like to be called? She said, George, George.

And I said, that's great. I said, I'll probably will call you G in the end. Is that a problem? She said, no, it's fine. So you're shortening her shortening? And that's what I mean And the team were laughing And then the meals just come out

I have to be honest I think that's nice Not naming any names But when I was at work People call me Nat Cass Yeah But if someone new comes in And calls me that

That's not okay No but that's a bit more But I'm not calling you naturally Your Nat I know exactly who she's talking about as well I don't know if you do But you don't come in and say, yes, Nat Cass. Sorry, I beg your pardon?

Who are you talking to? No, but that's a bit different. No, it isn't. It is. It's not. It's personable. It's my personal space. And it's a relationship you've built up.

It names is very... That is just me. I think you should feel that's nice if I do that. I like you. Not on day one. Well, you don't fucking know her yet. She's just slipped out. But you don't like her yet.

Yeah, I do. She's lovely. No, I know, but you've not met her yet. You're meeting. her and you've called her. I'm a good judge of character. I use it exactly the same as my best friend, Victoria. She is not a Vicky. No, she's a fucking Sue. Well, she's a Sue to us. But what I'm saying is she's at home, she's a Tory or she's a Vic. But people at work would be like, oh, I've got a meeting with

Vicky. But that's a bit different because you're sort of changing her name. And that is not her name. Yeah, but that's, yeah, that's. No, but I'm not changing her name. You just, I just, I just, I should. I'm sure to do it. Mom used to do it. I'd call her Vic.

Vic. Yeah, Vic's fine, but she is not a Vicky. No, but that is different because that is like a name. I know what you mean. I do, I do, I do. Yes, yeah. I can't help it. It's, they, they, they, there's a, sorry guys at work, I'm calling your names out.

No. But there's a Debra. Everyone calls her Debra. What do I call her? Debs. Of course I do. Or Dee? Big D.

No, Debs. Big D. Yeah. And then after, I'm sorry, I'll call you Debs. Is that all right? She's absolutely fine. Yeah. And there are some people pointing it out, which is nice.

You're saying, oh, sorry. We had a Gemma that hated Gem, hated it. And I did used to go, and I'd be like, sorry, Gemma. She hated it, yeah. So, yeah, unless someone says, I don't like that or no, I go, but I think you should just say, oh, do you mind me saying G or T? I mean, yeah, all my friends, I've shot everything. Yeah, I've shot on everything.

But then they are friends. They're not. I'm just trying to think, yeah. I could shorten the shortest of names. And how about if you're talking about someone? Because if I'm talking to someone regarding you to, for instance, I would say Maria or Elia. Does that make sense?

I would use your full name when talking about you if you're not there. It depends who you're talking to. But I wouldn't say elves to. I just wouldn't. You would if you were talking to Sophie or... Yes, if they know you. I'm saying if it's someone I'm talking to who haven't met you, I would use your full name.

Yeah. Would you do that? Yes. Absolutely It's a good discussion 0778 201919 1 hour 7 we've smashed it this evening I need to go bed
