Lovely warm drink on a warm day. Yeah, that is the pit. The fridge is broke. Right. You've got another fridge. No, there's no room. I've had to put all the stuff in the freezer in Grandad's freezer. There is no room for ice.

Don't you have a freezer in the garage? Yeah, I do. I didn't think of that. Oh, my goodness. And I know I had all my ice in the thing and I just put it down the sink. You dope. I started. Yeah, I didn't think.

But then you need a vessel to put it in, a container of some kind. I'm sure. Just a lot of bag. Yeah. Or a red Tupperware. Exactly. I think you'd be all right. Yeah.

It was just a lot. Or just, or the tray from said. No, I know. freezer. Mark's got the part. He's taken the fridge, the back bit off of the fridge. He's looked. He thinks it's a fan.

But it was still cold. Got no fans. Got no fans. But it's still. But it's still. No. It's over five years old. Oh, how bad is that, though?

What do you do you do? It's just a nightmare. I mean, what would I have done? And do you know what's really funny? What's that? For the last three months, I've been very unorganized with dinners, getting things every day, not knowing what to cook. Did you stock up?

And blames me. Oh, I listen to you. I've done a shop. Yeah. Because it's disgusting. You don't have things in. So I took it on. It is, though, every day I've got to go.

I'm like, just do an order or go to the shop and get four dinner. At least you. Yeah, I don't do that. So anyway, Sunday. No, I know. But you're a bit different. Here, there and everywhere, you're working from home, you can nip out. Not when you're working, you're in London all day,

and then you're coming back and you've got to feed for people. You have got to be a little... I'm not great at it, but I can pop to the shop, but I still try and have a couple of days under my belt. So I took Joni and Flossie to David Lloyd on Sunday. That's so weird. Why? Because I was driving here, and I thought, no one goes...

I don't know what maybe he did. think of it. I was thinking of me and Eliza going. I thought, I missed that. Do you go? Yeah, I'm starting to, I mean, no. Not as much as I should, but yes, I'm hoping to make most of it. However, so went, and whilst they were swimming, I sat and did chat GPT. She's obsessed with it. It's great, though. I did a meal plan. I said, this is what my children like. This is what we like. I'd like to eat healthy. I'd like a vegetarian meal, but we like meat. This one doesn't like mozzarella. Did a five-day Killing our cookbook.

No, no, it's not because cookbooks are, you know they're my favourite thing in the world, but just whilst I was sat there. Even if it's just sort of giving you, yeah, right. A bit of inspo. A bit of inspiration plus planning it out a little bit. So that's what I did, since Sunday. Got all things for four days and the fridge broke. Packed.

Packed to the rafters. Don't know how I've packed it into the fridge in Grandad. Thank goodness you got spare because I'd be. I mean, you'd have to buy one. Or you'd have to cook it off that night. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But in the fucking freezer.

Don't work. One in the garage, I forgot about. But no, yeah, what would you do? You'd have to buy a little one just to put in the shed or just something. I've got one in the shed, actually. Oh, good. It's small, though. Have you got my chair still?

You have. That was a conversation had the other day. And I said, I know Maria still got it, because Mark was like, you've lost a chair. What have I got it? You had it once. I brought it round, for the garden. I'm going to do for a chair. No, you're not, because I have two, and they're actually handy.

I've had it for years. If we go to the farmers. No, I know, but it's come up. You didn't like? Like a sunbed. Oh, the foldable sunlangers. Chunks they were. Do I have it?

I hope so. You definitely had it in your shed. Oh, wow. Probably chucked it away. No, I think I have. Oh, I don't know. That's right. I think I have.

I have a little butchers for me. She's saying. that just so she can keep it. No, you can't have me back. I'm joking. That's right. Just good for the beach in that, aren't they? Beach. The beach I go to all the time.

No, you want to have two of them. Well, no, it's yours. But it's very good for the, it's good for the railway. If you go there, if it's sunny, to sit out rather than a bench. Anyway, that's fine. Enjoy yourself. You've been all right? Yes.

All good. All good. I missed you. You've been away? I know. It was lovely. Did you have a nice time? It was really lovely.

It was nice because of it was. we didn't over plan. Although one day we was like, oh shit, maybe we should have booked a beach club because everything was obviously busy, couldn't get in anywhere. Did you not try the one I told you to go to? Everywhere busy. But it was fine. We went to the beach, went for a lovely luck.

No, it was just really nice, really chilled. We didn't have put pressure on going out every night. I had an early night one night, so I woke up feeling brand new. Oh, that's good. Yeah, went to my favourite place, sneaky beach. Yeah, love it. really easy, just easy crowd and, yeah, go with the flow. And I realise I'm allergic to this country, which is a shame.

No, you're fine when you're in any other country. I'm telling you now, I was coughing before I went. I didn't cough. I've stepped off that plane. My eyes went like that. Maybe it's just all in the mind. It's holiday. Last night, I was coughing.

Oh, that's hay fever. This country's fucked. Well, it's not just the hay fever. reason we're fucked, but yeah, amongst a lot of other things. But I did really miss the kids. Of course you did. They have grown up so much in how many days? Four days?

It's weird. Really? Yeah. They changed so much for not seeing them for that amount of time. It's horrible. I don't like it. But I've even noticed with James over the last couple of weeks, I feel like we had a little spell of just not angry, like frustrated,

Tantrami and yeah, definitely a gross foot and now he's calmer he's listening more but we were here today we popped in so I walked to get Joni and he was just you know that steps into the lounge

he was just bouncing off him and I was like what normally he would stop hand but he's just that's learned to be able to just go up and down and he's just much more walking around and even that I think maybe that was a bit of independence to do things before I went away

They didn't sleep. I had about three hours sleep every night. I don't know what happened. Well, maybe that was a bit of a great spot. It was mental. So I was kind of like, I'm exhausted. That's why that early night really helped me out. But even like I picked them up from school yesterday

and loads of conversation. Alfie just looked grown up and it's just so beautiful sometimes that kid. And then Ruth... Sometimes. Sometimes. No, but it is, but they have their moments. Even Ruby just, she just comes out with stuff and I'm like, oh my goodness.

I think it's the development. It's developmental. Thank you. I can't talk today, which is not great for what we're doing. That happens often. Yeah, I mean, I feel like you say that every time. I wonder if it's just the way she comes out with stuff. Yeah.

It's copying what I say, just the way she phrases things or can't. What's that? I'm just so sorry. Can't think of it now, but just like, she'll be like, that's really I thought it's just so sort of it's James everything Wow

Wow we pulled up here Mark's got his trailer He's seen it Wow Everything we walk around the shops You can see a leaf Wow Oh he's so curious

Definitely my son They're all so lovely aren't they Well yeah they can be They yeah Not all the time But no they've been They've been lovely

And Alfie's learning guitar Your dream I can't believe it. You should learn with him. I know, but I don't think I can, can I? But I think if he starts practicing at home, I can, I'm going to get my dad to get my guitar out the loft, and I might try and do it with him.

Just a lot. I tell you, I feel very overwhelmed. I've not stopped working, but in between, quiet times, or like, not that I have a lunch break, it's quiet times. I've been trying to sort out their birthdays because I just feel like everything, I'm so busy. Yeah, but it's good. Sometimes when it's all in your head, it's like when you wake up

and you think, I've got this to do, that to do actually once you crack on with it, it's, you think, oh, it's not that bad. Oh, no, it is. No, it is. It is a lot. Yeah, but as long as you deal with it. Yeah. So I've sort of booked their parties and stuff.

Excellent. I thought that the other day. I thought that's James' first proper party. Oh, yeah, it is. Not that he's going to know what's going on, but even just the music and all the people's going to love it. It's going to be crazy. Yeah, he'll probably be like, get me out of here.

Yeah, even that, I've got a cake, but I'm not. I'm not going to overthink it. I'm just going to do it. what I'm doing and they'll have a nice time. They'll be bubbles and all that. I mean, I love that. Don't need to go mad. Speaking, you mentioned Dad,

we went to the garden centre yesterday, did all my pots for me, which was really cute. And as we walked outside, I thought... Really cute that. Really cute. Why? Why is that? Why are you saying that?

Our gardens fuck, my. Okay. Well, I'm on it and I picked him up. We had a nice little afternoon. That's all mum kept saying, you need to go and sort the others out as well now. I'm like, oh, Jesus. So we walked it.

As we walked outside, I saw this rose, and it was beautiful. You know, I love that amnesia rose. It was a bit like that, but it wasn't one of those, but it was a bit lilacy. And I've gone out, and Dad was like, yeah, it's lovely. I said, oh, I'd love that in a pot. And then as I picked it out, I said, my lovely Dad. So it was a My Lovely Dad road. And I was like, that's really cute, but is it weird?

Now I feel like I've got this weird thing around me. Oh, perfect. It's horrible. Oh, no, it's nice. And then I said, no, do you know what? I didn't have any roses about my dad though until he was dead. No, I... Yeah, that's what we're saying.

That's what I'm saying. All the best. I feel like I'm buying it. Premonition. No, I don't mean that. That's awful. But then I thought, no, you've planted it. And you've had a...

It's a memory. Yeah, but I just thought it's weird. We'll just say it's for Jack, Father's Day. I've got to take these socks off. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. I took my socks off just out.

So what. No, I did not think of that Father's Day. There you go. Oh, I'm going to hide it. Buy a little plaque. Yeah. And do that. Slick a little bow on it.

Could be thrilled. Who wears socks at home? Me. All the time. You don't go barefoot at home? Yeah, no. Snippers. Snippers.

So you're never barefoot at home? No, hate it. I don't like it. I used to always be barefoot. But I really struggle with the hard floor on my feet. It hurts. I think because I've got such hard skin. Probably because I'm barefoot all the time.

Yeah. Maybe I've... But no, if I sit on the sofa, I'm slippers on. I can't. I like my feet out. Like now, I've got, I took my socks off. It was so funny actually because when Tony comes over, I noticed the socks come off.

He takes his socks off as well. Is it? But he has slippers, but if he sat on the sofa, he'll take the socks off. Yeah, I like, I'm funny, isn't it? Yeah, but you wear socks to bed, you fucking weirdo. Sometimes, no, no, not all the time. Yeah, that's weird. For the person that don't wear socks all day.

I can wear socks in bed. Joni loves a sock in bed. Yeah, it can be 100 degrees and she's got fluffy winter, Big Sox Sox. In bed is a no, no, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not. There we go. Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm good, yeah. I feel like me and Marie being like, No, no, I'm very good. I did Chris and Rosie Ramsey's pod today. Lovely. Shagged, married and annoyed. They're a lovely couple. But I did sewing be with her anyway,

but we're very similar way with chat, but we're just staying in and good wine. And no, it was a good old natter. So everyone will be able to listen to that soon. There's lots going on with a pod. which is very, very exciting. Oh, and we need to talk about the World Cup because it starts when this comes out.

What's the theme tune? I was going to do... You want me to write the theme to? Sing the theme tune. Now that's match of the day. I don't know. I know it's Champions League. Can I just say that it could be a new one?

Because it's four years. I think they actually do new ones, don't they? Do they? Have a little look. But... Audio always, who we are now with as a company. Thanks. They've only done, no, well, telling everyone, so they know it is.

Across the network, we've been randomly assigned a team. Oh. Oh, be a good thing. Come on, be a good thing. I've got Germany. What do you mean you've got? I've got Germany. Right.

I've been given three teams because there's a lot of us on his cards. She's mugged us off with someone. No, but I've got to stick with what it is. All, fine. I have Germany. The girls. Oh, as in me, Maria and Mum? Correct.

Oh, yeah, Mom loves the World Cup. Japan. Oh. You've got on Japan? Perfect. Well, the boys have got Haiti. So all the best. Haiti?

Haiti. Oh, is it? Haiti. I don't travel. No, but Dom was saying Japan, it could go some, like a team that you would never think. Really? And it could, yeah. Well, I'm up for that.

That's fine. Jack and Ashpot. Jack's got England. Wow. I am so jealous. Why? They're not going to win anyway. Yeah, but it's nice, isn't it?

No. No, I like that there's another team. Why are they not going to win? Just think they just fuck it up all the time. Oh, faith. No, I like to have someone else because then you've got... Well, it's a bit of interest, isn't it? Yeah.

Drunk Women's Solving Crime, a pod I did before. Lovely people, Hannah and Taylor. They've got Ecuador and Croatia. which is excellent. And then... Why is that excellent? I wanted to have a little look here. Jordan, North's got Portugal.

Nice. That's a good one. We've got Jordan, I've got the amp, mate. I tell you what. Get Ronaldo writing there. Remember I beat you at the old food board and now you're going to beat me at a football. Williams got Austria.

What do we win? Money? Does not say. Hopefully a number one spot in the old podcast chart. When's Japan's first game? I'll find out. The song is the shirk? The song is the shirk.

Kira. Afro Beaks on with Burner Boy. Yes, it is. Excellent. It's right up my Straza. It's excellent. Really good. Yeah, so it's a nice little bit of interest.

Brilliant. When does it start? Thursday, today. Today. Excellent. What time? Not sure. 9 o'clock, I think, might be the first game.

There we go. I'll have a little look. What time are the games on? Because you're good at all this. No, they're like 2 o'clock in the morning, something stupid. I think, look, South Korea and check. 3am. There's a couple, like five o'clock, but then there's, yeah, midnight, 3 a.m.

England's first game is Wednesday the 17th, is that right? Wednesday the 17th at 9 o'clock, Croatia. Oh, that's not too bad. I heard, I don't know how true it is, that they're going to let the pub stay open later. Well, I would imagine so. Yeah, that's what I heard too. But even if you don't want to go to the pub at 3 o'clock in the morning, who's doing that? That's true.

No, it's ridiculous. Who's going to stay up to watch? Well, people will, won't they? Of course. But it is a very, very inconvenient time. It's not a little bit late, is it? It's a real shame. Why is it in the USFA?

No idea. Don't know. I don't know how it works. They don't play football. They played soccer. Sucker. I don't get it. Right, we've got loads of correspondence to get through,

so I'm going to start because they're all very good. In fact, we just had one Justin, which I'm going to... Who's Justin? Simbleak. I can't think of a song quick enough I'm devastated Or another name Just couldn't do it

I was going to do Justin's house It's the way you're all to play it Wow Julie is just in whilst you were on your way Julie Hi Nat just finished listening to Ep 230

That's nieces Helping or offending Some years ago on the train home From work I offered another lady my seat As I thought she was pregnant Her response I'm not pregnant

I'm just fat. Oh no. I was mortified. I will only now offer my seat to someone wearing a badge. Yeah. Oh, that is risky. That's happened to someone I know. Really?

Really. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, that is, that's hardcore. Yeah, I think unless there. But really, there were no badges in my day. Was it? No.

You fucking didn't get the train, what you mean? What I did at times, I think, I'm just saying. The Beverly Badges. Really? Yeah. I'm not sure. A lovely two young girls were in the shop the other day. Yeah.

And I was in there with James, just grabbing some bits. And thankfully it was the morning. And they were sort of interacting with James a bit. And then after swung around, like, come around, she went, I'm really sorry, I've just got to tell you you've got your label. Because I went, oh, no, what? She went, you've got your label hanging out of your T-shirt. She went, I'm sorry.

I said, no, I'm fully appreciative. appreciate that. Thank you so much. How weird. And she pulled it out for me. I know. Thank God because I was going to like a toddler group. Oh God, God forbid. It was out the toddler group.

No, I know. But you're fucking MacDala, is it? No, I know. But you just know that people are dickheads and they wouldn't have said anything. Yeah, no, I hear you. And I'd have been fuming. That is brilliant.

Yeah, no, it's, yeah, I think, yeah, just the badge. Got to wear a badge. You'd be wearing a badge. Unless it's very obvious. I think there's a lot. If you've got a whole belly, seven months... However, what's mad... A whole belly.

A whole belly. However, what's mad is, I remember... Because you hide it, don't you? You don't tell people for some reason. I don't actually know why. Oh, it's to go up to the three months for when it's safer. No, I know. No, I know that, but also...

What? I know, but in my head I was like, why? Because if something does happen, I'm still going to tell people. people. No, I understand what you're saying. But not everyone. No, no, no, I get it. No, I get it.

But what I'm, what I was getting to is the first three months, is it three months? That's the worst bit. That's the worst bit. I remember standing on the train and at one point I thought, oh, well, I'm going to faint. I was all, you know, you just go, all sweating. No one off of me a seat. They didn't know. No.

Really, I should say, excuse me, can I sit down? But that is actually the most, for me, when I'm heavily pregnant, I could have stood. It was fine. Yeah, that is funny. I always say that. That first three months is the hardest. Mate, I always say that. I mean, it depends.

Everyone's different, but I found that hard. I mean, I didn't know for eight weeks, so. Lucky you. But I did. Now it makes sense why I'd walk into work and feel like. And I'd sit down and say to some, in my team, I need something to eat. Has anyone got like a cereal bar? Because I'd been up since seven, but I never really had breakfast.

Obviously, now I realize why. Morning. After listening to your pod last week, when you were talking about whether or not you would tell people if they have something in their tea or a label hanging out, it reminded me of my friend's experience. She was at a black tie ball at the National History Museum a few years ago, big posh do, poker tables, champagne, etc. Fancy.

So she was looking after one of the clients. She saw an eyelash on his cheek and said to them, let me get that for you. And it didn't move. So she got the hair between her nails and she pulled it and it was attached to a little muller on his cheek. Oh, no. I mean, that's bold. Let me get that for you.

Well, no, but she thought it was an eyelash. But I wouldn't get that out. The mould? Because you not see the mould? I wouldn't get that up close and personal. Let me get that. I do it to you. I think you got an eyelage there.

Well, like to a client, especially, you know. That's a lot. It's bold. Bold move, honey. Bold move. Did she pluck it out? Or did it not come out? Well, no, she hasn't said.

I've got a story and I weren't going to share it. Do it. I think we're all right. I do it. I bumped into someone. one the other day. We're all friends here. Oh, this is a cracker.

I told Maria and mum and that earlier. I said, I bumped into someone the other day and it only just dawned on me this morning. So I'm chatting away. I've not seen this person for a long time. I know who they are,

but it's a sort of a distant friend. Desperate to know her. And I don't think you'd know who it is. And I said, you know, hello, da-da-da-chatting away. And I said, oh, I see all your bits on Facebook. This person is on a weight loss journey. And I said, oh, you do it.

really well. It's not her. It's a different person. And then I was told that this person doesn't have Facebook, so she must have thought, what the fuck is she talking about? And she went, oh, do you? No, she didn't.

Oh. Have you looked to see if she is on Facebook? No, I don't want to know anything more, and I don't ever want to see her again. And I knew who she was, but I got her confused with another person. Fair, and it happens. but also I'm just lying to you.

But I do, it's just a different person that I see. You wasn't lying. You got it confused. She was lying to you by going, yeah, yeah, really good. I would have said, what are you talking about? Oh, thank God she fucking didn't. I'd have said, oh, I think James's done a poo, got to go. Oh, I love stuff like that.

Would you have stood there and gone, yeah, yeah. I genuinely would go. Yeah, no, I would. Would you? Depends who it was, but I would. I don't care who that was. I would have said, sorry, I'm not on Facebook. What are you talking about?

Not in a rude way. I would have said, no, I'm not on it. Because that's such a thing to differentiate you. If you're not on something, I'd be like, sorry, that's not me. I don't know if this is the same thing, but it's just reminded me. Last night, I took a snippet of EastEnders and sent it to Kitty. Oh, yeah. And just put the dead face with loads of laughing emojis.

They're talking about the storyline is that Ian's run over the little boy by accident. What's her face? Jordan. No, what's her name? Chelsea's little boy. Yeah. Anyway, they're all like, Kathy's in the street. You know, what's they're having to go?

Kitty's having a penny, whatever her name is in it. Then Max is saying like, you know, you could end up with like a wheelchair. He got run over like you did to Kitty. No. Obviously, it's... No, yeah. And in it, she just like rolls her eyes and I'll message her. I said, that is the funniest line.

Like obviously assuming, because she's in a wheelchair, she got run over. And that was the line in the show. No, but didn't she? Oh, did she? Oh, did she? Oh, I don't know. I don't know. But I know what you mean.

Yeah, but that is... But that is... Again, it's a very Ian Beal thing to say. That's what it was right here. Oh, well, even better. He's an arsoe anyway. Max is an arseller. Oh, I know.

They were just so funny about her reaction to it. As if so, he was just assuming I've been run over. I see. Well, that's how I took it. I didn't know if she got one over or not. But I just thought that is hilarious. She's not on Facebook. I just checked.

Fabulous. Fabulous, fabulous. Oh, sickening. Moving on. That's bad, isn't it? Moving on. How have I done that? Because you are.

Yeah, just shut up. Just shut up. Say hello. This is my son. Nice to see you. Bye-bye. Hi, Nats, nieces. Just listening to the pod on telling people

when they have something on them. Once my cousin was eating a sausage roll, And then later was told, oh, you have some pastry left around your mouth. She said, oh no, that's just my dry flaky lips. The old flaky lips. Another one, she's got another one. She's cracking old Emma in Cornwall. I would have died with embarrassment.

Another one. I was at Friends having dinner, and she made me a lasagna. Later in the evening, we were dancing around and one of the girls went to try and flick some mincemeat off another girl's back and it was a mole. I mean, smit. What's me? What's going on?

They're having a boogie around the kitchen, aren't they? Oh, I love it. Oh, dear. I love shit like this. Thank you for bringing us all the joy in the world. Never missed an episode from Emma in Cornwall. Thanks, Emma. I've got many.

We need more. stories. I've got some and I just can't think of him. I just can't share them. Oh really? Yeah, I can't. I've got many. Maybe one day. Save it for Patreon. Not long now, guys. Not long now. I feel like there's some that I've done

before or wish I know. You know, last time we were in here it was about 38 degrees outside and you said how to cleaners click. We were talking about cleats. We had a lot of messages saying thank you for the recognition in this weather. We do. Quite a few. We recognise. We sympathise. Yeah.

We sympathised. but you carry on. You're doing a great job. Tara from Farmbra said, Morning, Natalie. I was just listening to your latest pub with the nieces, and you were talking about working in last week's heat wave. I am myself a domestic house cleaner,

and you were saying it must be extremely hard to work in this heat cleaning someone's house. Let me tell you it was absolutely horrendous. I didn't want to let my ladies down. I pulled my big girl's pants up, and I got on and cleaned all my client's houses. I have absolutely lovely ladies that I clean for. Can I stop here?

Why is it lovely ladies? Why do all of the cleaning community? All right. Might not be all of you. But our cleaner will say, oh, ladies, is it because we organise it all? Yes, of course. Do you know what I'm saying? But she's saying lady.

I mean, it's a whole house full of people, isn't it? Yeah. It's a funny one. Anyway, she had to take two pairs of rubber gloves because she sweated so much inside the gloves were soaking so she had to keep changing them and that's how hot it was.

So well done, Tara. Yeah, well done, girl. Well done. And it's coming back next week, the old heat wave. Well, I think we've got some nice weather coming up, 24, 27. That's a hot heat wave, is it?

24. I cannot believe it. Boy, can we get a box for a ring of ding and dings in here? Fiver, every time a noise goes off. It's a fibre. I'll be loaded. Bring it on.

I'm working. Oh, I think it's next door with the old swaps. The old swaps is for the stickers. Yeah, I forgot to. That's another thing. While we were talking about the World Cup, I'm doing my beans on these stickers. Have you got any spares for our feet?

I don't buying any more than them. Taking the piss. They are, I am doing my absolute... 10 pound for five packs, four packs. No, it's more than that. It's 1 pound 25 a pack. How much? £1.25.

That's not that bad. There's a lot of stickers in those books. I've been buying them for weeks. And do you know what's annoying? My Marks and Spencer's book is nearly filled up. Joni's got done ages ago. Why is that annoying? Well, because now I feel bereft,

so I've bought another sticker book to do. Yeah, no. Any Fultunes? Any dubelvese this way? Yeah, all right. I'll just give you a load of the ones I haven't done yet for Alfie tonight. I've got a stack. Not the Marx is.

No, the other one. I don't, thank you. I love some, and all. Bitch. Yeah, heat wave. Well, we've got nice weather. Okay, not a heat wave. I didn't mean to say that.

Just a nice weather. That's all we want out of life. Like today, what has been, I'm sweating, I'm cold. Freezing. I wore that lovely blazer that you got me, the brown one. Yes. But it's short sleeves with a vest. I was absolutely blitters on the train. Freight.

And this morning when I left, beautiful it was, I came out of the club. Densual. Out of the club. The club. I got absolutely. soaked. When I say, like, my hair was all done nice, sudden, through, and leggings, you know, and all that your leg into wet. No, I had shorts on, was freezing, put sweatshirt on and joggers, and then I've changed back.

Yeah, and I'm sweating now. What are you doing? But yeah, I've got some, yeah, looking forward to having some stuff. Lovely for the garden, though. That's what I'm going to say. Yes. Yeah, it's a little bit of rain. I mean, my grass is still fucked. I'm going to go out to be sure. I'm sick of it. Are you? I have to. Do you remember the last time I was about grass, paddling poles, and you were

talking about the lead? Listen to this bird Not bird Sorry I'm going to have it again Please leave me No I can't Why No no it's the derogatory

No why Why am you decide You decide Why is bird derogatory though Bird Can't say bird But what does it mean Flappy little

Flipp Chirping away Don't think it's very nice No that's like rabbit Flappy little I mean What is going on? Is it because we lay eggs?

No, we don't lay eggs. Emma. Rerre revelation. Number four. Stick that in your file. Do you mean to come out? Informal colloquial slang for a woman or girlfriend. Why?

The term likely traces back to the middle English word bird, which was used to refer to a noble woman or young maiden. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? What? Bird, bird. Bird is the word. Don't you know about the bird? I was thinking,

my king bird, yeah. Don't know what that is. No. No. My king bird don't ever. Anyway, so it doesn't really tell us. It's now considered objectifying or patronising. There you are.

But hopefully, your mate, what's her name? Don't know her name yet, but listen to this. It's all about. lead on the paddling pool pump. Maybe she can let us know what she thinks of being called bird. Yes. At least it's not a big bird. True.

You've been called that a couple times. I know. I'm just listening to the Nat's Nass Nica's episode, talking about the short lead electronic blow-up things. I don't know what you call them. My brain's frazzled today. But it reminded me of a memory that I must have locked away. I went camping one year and I was staying in my van.

And I wanted to blow up my mattress. And I only had an electric pump I had to plug in. And I really didn't have it in me to manually blow it up with my manual one. So I went into a pub and asked if I could blow it up in there. And again, because the lead was so short, the only bit I could do it was right in front of the TV where they were playing the well-cut. I was blowing the mattress up. and it got bigger and bigger and bigger and it just covered the entire TV

because it was quite an old pub, quite low ceilings or whatever and I'm just there like oh my god I wanted the ground to swallow me up and then I'm trying to battle this mattress outside of this little worldly pub in Wales and yeah mortified but you know I laugh about it now well I laughed about it then I just found the whole thing hilarious I didn't really do anything else but laugh, to be honest. I bet the people watching the fucking World Cup weren't laughing. But I love that she's still just carried on.

Yes, and me. Not like, oh, I'll take it out now. But if that had been back in the day, there would have been a little cigarette hole stoned right into that. I mean, when she's there, I bet they were cursing. I wonder how long it took. Hopefully it was a quick one. That is brilliant.

Talking of Leeds, I'm saying about organising the kids party. for Alfie I'm thinking of like this is really bad I hate myself but they'll love it it's only an hour a gaming bus that comes outside your house and they've said to me we've got 100 metre foot long

100 metre foot long leg meters and feet are different term of pressure a very long lead they've got and they need to plug it in my house well yeah well I was I going to plug it in that's weird though isn't it what you want them to do but it generate a long as well

Agamia, Janarina. Well, yeah, where do you want them to fucking stick it? No, I know. But, yeah, it's a piss tank because you're paying for that. Then you're paying for the electricity. Tell them to just come in and all. They'll probably want a cup of tea as well. I thought...

She loves doing a cup of tea for everyone. And you'll need to get a permit. Yes, I will. Not just one permit for that. Can you imagine? Yeah, but for you do that. No, I'm not. I'm doing one, then go fuck themselves.

And then I thought, could I not just set up a few TVs in my house and do it for free? On with the PlayStation. No, you're not doing that at home. Also, talking of just permits and councils, someone has stolen my food bin. What do you expect?

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Does it not have your number on it? No. You haven't got a number on it? No. I've got no. Absolutely. How'd you put a number on it?

I've got no. I've stopped thinking. I don't know what I'm saying. I've got no. Sympathy. Sympathy. I've got no sympathy for you at all. That's not nice.

And also... But I didn't stick the number on it. My number was on my big bin. I think probably Jack's done it for you. No. We've never bought number stickers. I've got no numbers. No, you've got to put numbers on that.

It's outside my house, Natalie. Who is taking my bin? Do you know what? It happened a little while ago. And I went round the street. I found the spare bin and I took it. Wow. So you're stealing the bin.

No, because someone took mine. So I saw one left out. was there for a few days. I thought, I'll maybe... Stop there a minute. Just stay there, keep that in full. Stealing. That's the name of the time.

Stealing bins. So a few weeks ago, I went out, or a month or so. My bin wasn't there. Weird. A little brown one. Yeah, I know. Don't use it. Next day, little moot around.

There's a little bin all in its own. So I thought I'll take it. I knew it weren't my bins. It was scratched up. My bin didn't look like that. but I thought beggars can't be choosers. Now my bin is gone. Or maybe.

That person... The person has realised. So where's my bin? That's not the... Someone else. That's not their problem. Two wrongs don't make a right. So I email the council.

Yep. She says, I've ordered you a new bin. It's going to take three weeks. Three weeks. I said, so what am I doing with said food bags? She said, I'll just put it in another bin. No, she didn't. Could you not just leave the food bags out?

Oh yeah, the foxes will lap that up. No, I can't do that. Someone thinking what I'll do is I'll put them in a plastic bag. Yeah. Inside one of my other bins. Yeah. Then use my little green bin that I have inside and put that out. Yeah, you could do that.

Isn't that? Yeah, great. A lot of work. So actually I might just put them in the old fucking bin. How about that one? Yeah, just put, she's told you to do it. She said put it in the... Purple bin.

Yeah. which says no food on the sticker. Well, that just shows us all a load of bullocks. But that's bad, isn't it? Who's taking bins? So annoying. People that have been stolen. People like you.

People like you. You're not a bin influencer. You're a bin robber. Oh, shit. No, I'm just saying, oh, it's not meant to be funny. It's just what it is. You rob the bins. You're not influencing anyone.

You're just someone, and you're now in a cycle. And now the whole of where I just stealing bins I understand But you're missing the point Someone took my bin in the first instance It's weird You know where you put your bin

You know where my bin is Why are you taking my bin? Could it have been a windy day Because we do get strong winds around here I don't You do I don't Well we do

Don't we Yeah Fucking bins all over the gaff Honestly Bin juice everywhere Oh Bin juice And I clean them

And I clean mine So someone's got my nice clean unscratched bin fucking well you've got a nice brand new one coming you have to pay for it no I have not oh fair play pretty good I said they've run out to pay for them these days

did you have to give evidence what that your bins gone I'm not lying I've got six bins I've quite fancy another one what a picture of the floor in my head I'm thinking can I get another

I love a couple he's gonna know can I pretend but why do you want more bins you can't put more Very small, aren't they? Yeah, but you can't put more than one out. How are they going to fucking know?

There's eight down the end of the road. Could be Tom, Dick, Harry, Jill, whoever's. That's cracking. Oh, my email. I can know now. What about on your ring doorbell? Oh, do you know what? I can't because I've only just subscribed.

Oh, she's a dick. So, because you couldn't look back. I couldn't look back. Gutted. You might have seen a little. I bet you're on someone else's as well. You've not thought about that. She'll be unspotted soon.

I had a little girl, bless her, knock on my door the other day. Why is she knocking on my door? She was like, excuse me, is that your car, your boots open. Oh, bless her heart. So cute. Her dad was waiting. Bless her, she obviously said, oh, I'll go and do it, Daddy. Oh, cute.

Irresponsible. Maybe your bins in there. Maybe, yeah, your bins in the boot. Going back to summer, you've put something on here. Tracy Bright has sent you a picture. And she said, send help. This needs Nat's nieces on the case. WTF, I cannot cope with this.

And from what I can see, it says there is a new summer wean range that has arrived at ASDA. Is it real? Yeah, I saw a girl put it up saying, need all of this. And then there is a new summer wean collection

in Primark. How I can explain it to you listeners is Halloween but in pastel colours boo, pastel pumpkins for summer. I don't get it. What's going on?

I replied saying running to Asda. No, no. Come on. I mean that I hope nobody buys surely nobody's buying any of that.

What for? They've made it up. They've made it up. Summer wean. It's inventive. It doesn't even make sense. It doesn't sound good. Because Halloween isn't about the time of year.

No, it's Hallow's Eve. It all comes from witching and all that. No, yeah. It's actually shit. It's not autumn wean. I get sucked into things, but that's a no from me. Like, why do you want a ghost in summer? I mean, why do you want a ghost any time?

But... I'm sorry, I just can't. It's wild. Madness time. Yeah, I cannot. Is anyone, is anyone... Hold on, says the girl that fucking has a door decorated. Won't you get a Summerween door?

Yeah. Is anyone buying Summerween things, please? 077-828-20, 1919. Have you bought something for Summerween? Send me a photo. I'm going to say the only time that I think this could be acceptable, let's say your daughter is 7, 8, 9, 10 and is obsessed with you.

with Halloween. So, Ariana. It's also her birthday. Oh, it's her birthday. Oh, it's her birthday. Oh, it's her birthday. So it's her birthday on June the 20th, and she is, like, Halloween mad.

Loves it. A little party or a little few presents. Maybe you would do that for your children. Ariana is obsessed. That's her favorite thing, Halloween. Well, you better go to Asda and get her some bits. No, but I wonder if, it would be interesting to see if they do it. She could just wait for Halloween.

She probably will. But I'm saying if it was the birthday and they're having a little bit of, little tea party and they think I will do it a summer wean vite. Still a bit of a disgrace in my opinion. Yes. But you'd do anything for your kids. But that, there's a lot of steps to get to go and to buy that. But I agree with you.

Also, though, as a business, who's laying down money for that? This is mad. I was sat in a room going, I've got a great idea. Well, no, I've got to people. But I'm saying they've got to purchase that. We could do Christmas in summer, then is what we're saying. We could have Santa Claus laying on a bed.

with a mankini on. Bring it on. I'm ready for it. Summer clause. Summer clause. It's about 198. Father summer. It's only a hundred and ninety eight days of something to Christmas.

Oh, how did you know that, Natalia? Because you sent me one cent to a hundred days, two days ago. She went, what did she, her reply was not. It's stressing me out. How am I going to do all this? And she said, oh, I just said back of violin. No, it is a disgrace, though. It's going to be a really bad time.

Not for her, not for us. No, we could be cracking. It'll be alright. Well, no little drink nights, nothing, though. No little nights. Nothing. Boring. What's going to be funny is when we are recording Christmas podcasts next week.

Funny for who? No, tomorrow I might do one. What do you mean? I might sit on my own and do one about Christmas. Don't ruin it for the listeners because I would not listen because it's bullshit. So don't worry, guys. No, is it? Yeah, true.

Fair enough. Well, no, it depends on your... No, because I will be saying it. I'll be saying it's June, and I'm going to be busy, so I'm going to crack on something about. All right, and what are you going to talk about? Oh, this Christmas, I'm really enjoying it. It's really cold. No, but Christmas is a theme.

You can talk about things. Ooh, oh, freezing. Oh, those Christmas crackers that I bought me. I made my min. She might be making anything. Nothing, nothing, dead. Nothing. Merry Christmas.

No, it'll be good. Let Maria know Milton tablets are good for paddling pools. Joanne from Chelmsford, what a cracker. Oh, okay. Well, I didn't ever think of that. That's a great idea. Really? Just probably losing.

What, and look at the kids playing it. I think one for a large paddling pool is probably all right. I mean, we might have to look it up, Joanne. But it sounds like a good idea to me. Well, no, because when you sterilise the bottles and stuff in Milton, you don't rinse them after. No. That's the idea.

So then you're pouring the milk into a Milton infested bottle. I love that smell. And then I love the formula going into the Milton bottle, that whole combination. Lovely. Jack hated the Milton. Really? I really enjoy it. I still, I've got Milton tablets downstairs.

I still use the milk and spray, but it's a bit minty. No, I don't like the spray, yeah. But it does what it needs to do. Does what it says on the tin. Cleans the side, don't it? No, just jakes it tight. I've got big news for you earlier because I know you love her, just so you know, Joe Frost, super nanny. Yeah.

Messaged her about being on the pod. Can I be on here? She's messaged me straight back. Yeah, of course. And she messaged me straight back and said, hi Nat, I'm away at the moment, we'll get back to you. Oh, I love Joe Frost. I do too. I know she's a very divided person, but I like her views.

Me too. Excellent. Super nanny. You've said four times, probably over the last month. on different messaging services that we're all a part of, people staring you up and down, no shit's given, please tell me what it's about.

Because you keep repeating the same sentence. Because I cannot believe, I can't get over it. What? The way that people look me up and down. Maybe they think you look like a bag of shit. Okay, that's fair, but could you not do it? Why do it so obvious? I was at Liverpool Street Station,

this woman literally walked towards me and just looked at it and down. Yeah, it is not. No, it does happen. I'm fucking, I'll turn around, I thought, hey? But like, not. You should say that you're okay? But it's so obvious.

But I do get it a lot. I get it all the time. I could just be walking down the street and I can just see people's eyes. Are you wearing your fishnet ankle tights? No, actually, I haven't won them in a while. Fair do so. Because that, we've like shorts and then them funny shoes. They're not funny.

They're not funny. The old gany ones. No, but do you not? Yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm very aware of it. I don't know what it is. No, I feel like I've noticed that a couple of times, actually in the old little toddler groups as well.

It's just the eyes. I'm sure we all do it, but be a bit more discreet. No, I get it when I drop Eliza to school. People in their cars are so rude. I can't get over it. What do you mean? It's just rude. No one says goodbye.

No one says, goodbye, my lover. No one says, thank you. What's that? It's not the same. That's just pure rude. No, just rude. But today, when I got on the train this morning, that it was a very busy train,

and you know you have your seats of three and three. There was a woman by the window, a lovely elderly man on the Emery and his Kindle, and there was a space in the middle with her bag on. You got in the middle? Absolutely. I wasn't standing up. No, it's fine.

But I've got... What was it busy? Was we busy, yeah. No, I just decided to sit in the middle of sandwich myself between two strangers because I like doing that. I don't mean I'd bring myself to do that. Oh, I don't care. So anyway, I've got it.

I said, excuse me. The woman? Get the arm. Oh. Moved her bag. It's not an office, love. I just looked and I was like, that's what I just said, we're not in your office now.

However, I will say, sometimes if I'm on the train and I've got my bag next to me and there's loads of seats and then some fucker wants to come and sit next to me and ask me to move my bag. Why come to sit next to me? Because they want to sit on that seat. Your seat is not for a bag. Okay, I appreciate that, but there's loads of other seats. Why are you coming in my grill?

Maybe they like you. Maybe they want to be close to you. Yeah, no, that would. But yeah, I just found that. What are you huffing for? Bizarz. It was really busy. It's selfish to put your bag on a seat.

You see it all the time. Yeah, but you should move. I would, if people are getting on, you move it. So that you're sort of opening up. Don't worry. And also, people need to medicate for their hay fever. I'm sorry.

Right, my hay fever's bad. We've spoken about it enough. It's boring. But I keep myself topped up. You've been all right this year? I've been... This is fucking joking. It's true.

Your face is all right? No, I'm... She's been awful. This week's been excellent. I don't know. Yeah. Touchwood. It's been good.

Come on neck again. That's not. fever. Yeah, it is. It's all allergies. But you get that in the winter. No, I don't. Yes, you have.

You have had it in colder months. Is she for real? It's all allergy. It's all allergy based. We know this now. However, I keep up with my flexophedinid in the eye drops. You do know there's quite some sort of virus, cold and flu. Maybe a strain of COVID going around and people are wiped.

Really? Yes. What are they doing? Because maybe you think it's happening. Ah. Ah! Ah! I thought I had to fucking kill someone else.

No one's got a tissue either. No one's got a tissue. Just not the back of their hand. No, well then that's not hay fever. You should have said, you're a bit bunged up. I've got a trick. Do you want to help you out? The human.

Oh, stop. That's awful. But no, in all seriousness, listen, I sound like a pug all year round. I'm not saying that. But the constant sniffing is, sneezing. Yeah, or move away a little bit. Oh, it's disgusting.

What time was you? What was? I got the 907. And it was that busy? Yeah, it was busy. Yep. I was listening to a radio show today. Yep.

They were talking about sort of harassment and stuff, and this woman called in, and she said, I was on a train once, and I could see, sorry, I'm lowering the tone a bit, but I thought it was a nice little piece of advice. She saw a bit of an altercation with a man and a woman. The woman was clearly a bit uncomfortable. This guy was,

You know, and instead of just jumping in and sort of saying, oh, hey, mate, she went up to the woman and said, I love your bag. Oh, did she? And she started having a conversation. That's really good. And I really liked that. That's what you should do.

I'll be like, oh, hi, it's your page. Yeah. And pretend that you know, and that's what I thought she was going to say. Yeah. But that's a good one to be like, oh, my God, I've not seen you for so long, to sort of break it up without pointing at the person. I did it. I did it.

I did it. A girl was really drunk and she was sitting there, like, born asleep. these guys were looking at her, so I went and sat down next one, I said, oh, you're all right, and I just sat with her until she, they got off, I think then she got, I don't know, yeah, awful. But yeah, I just thought that was a really good way to intervene, to be, you know, you know, sort of, like you said, and also, great for her to put herself in that situation.

I know, but I think that's the thing of, you don't want to do it, but you do it in that way, you're not confronting, yeah, you're not confronting that person or trying to cause a problem, you're going in with a different, you know, what can that person say? If you're saying, oh, how are you? I've not seen you for ages. And apparently when she said about the bag,

straight away the woman knew what she was doing. That's very, very good. And I do believe now in PHSC and lessons, all of this sort of stuff is being taught, which is fabulous. Yeah, no, I really like that. You know, there's a lot more safety for women and stuff being taught in school, which is very, very good. Talking of schools and stuff like that and policies,

oh, aren't we, high brow, fuck me. Move over, the rest is fucking, what's it called? The rest is news. I can't remember. The rest is history. No. Move over. The rest is politics.

Kirstama. Kirstama this week. He said he's going to do the social media ban for under 16s. When? About time. Well, he said imminently. Imminently, he's going to... Yeah, I've read it.

But he's given the tech companies the opportunity to sort their shit out. Yeah, today that has been said. So I don't really, so is that different? I've read a lot of comments. There's stuff about the tech companies, I believe, for the three-month things, about nudity online and sharing new images. But obviously Australia have done it. And all the comments were like, and 70% of people still...

I think it's 60, I listened to LBC yesterday and I believe, I think it's 40% of people aren't using. But the point is... There's still 40% of people being more protected. But the point is, that's ridiculous. That's like saying... people take drugs, but let's make them all legal. No, you have to put something in place.

If people can find a way around that, unfortunately that's... How are they? Why are they? Well, it's just life, isn't it? That's like anything that we do. VPN. People are still going to break the law or do things they shouldn't. But, you know, you can, A, it gives parents a strong case to say, absolutely not.

You're not. But it does. It packs them. It's that. I wish I'd have had that. That is what you need. say that, but there'll still be X amount of percent of kids that will have it and then they'll gang up and then they'll be... No, but there will be, because it's illegal right? It's different.

The parents, because parents will say it's illegal. But a lot of parents won't. No, but a lot of parents will. No, I know, and then a lot of kids will still, like kids start underage drinking. We all did it, but that's the point. And a lot of parents let their children do it at house parties, is that?

No, of course, but you're still... No, I'm all for it. I'm just saying... But just because... Because that's not why you don't do it. You don't then say, oh, actually, if we make it illegal, people are going to fall through the next, so we won't do it. No, let's do it. And if people fall, if people's parents... But they need to make it so it needs to be harder that people can't...

And also, people will always find a way around stuff. But they are going to look into it. Apparently, I think today something's happened. I can't tell you the figures, but they're investing, I think it's 400 million pounds into AI to sort of... They're doing... They need to start somewhere and then they can hopefully tighten it. It's really hard. He has been failing since he became Prime Minister.

And because of all this stuff with Andy Burnham and the Makerfield, all of what's going on, he seems to have had a rocket shoved up his ass off. So suddenly there's just a few things that he's doing, which is good. Yeah, but they all do things to get people on their side anyway. Well, quite. Yeah, he needs to do something.

Then I did read some comments earlier of people saying like, oh, because of my sexuality, if I didn't have social media, I would have felt so alone, do-da-da. So it's a real, your wicket's heart is a weird one, isn't it? I do. I understand. I don't, yeah, I'm under a certain age. For me, I'm talking about, but for me, I'm talking about 11-year-old children, 10-year-old children

that have TikTok and Instagram accounts, which isn't even all right now. It should be 13-plus. What, 13-plus? So Instagram and TikTok are 13-plus. We still have children now that are 10 and 9. There we go. Well, there we go. Well, there we go.

would just bring in a conversation and make people feel a little bit more comfortable in saying no. And that's all you can do. Yeah, absolutely. I hope so, but I don't know, I think it's a bit too little too late. It will because it's not going to be easy to get around it. Why is it not? I think they're looking at different things to do. I'm not sure how they're going to do it.

I'm assuming you have to upload ID. I mean, there's huge. So you're saying you're going to go and buy a fake ID within, I'm sorry. No, but there's kids that have fake IDs anyway to get alcohol or do this or do that. Yeah, but they're 14, 15. I'm not talking about 13-year-olds. 13-year-olds are not getting a fake ID. Is Eliza got a fake ID?

No. But Liza don't go clubbing. We were going out at that age. No, Marie, times have changed. It is changed. They sit on their phones. Yeah. It's very different.

So what are they going to do then? What are they going to do now? Maybe have a conversation? All the best. Play a game like we used to do. Yeah, but so you're telling me all these 13, 12-year-olds that have got it now, their parents are just going to take it away from them. It's going to be huge for them

because they're severely addicted to it. That's mad. So it's going to be hard. I'm sort of lucky. Yeah. You haven't got to deal with it. I'm lucky for Eliza because unfortunately she's had it and I wish she hadn't. But that's the era she was in.

They're the years we've gone through, which is a shame because she's been unlucky. But she will be 16 in September by the time it will. But she might have a time without it. She won't. No. I don't think she will. It's true. Well, even if it was August.

I mean, I don't, if it's something that you have to get or you have to go through hoops with, I wouldn't do it, I'd say we have to wait a month. Yeah, I wouldn't be, I'd just say you have to bloody wait. And Joan is small. I still think it's too young. 16. Well, listen.

Do you think he's too young, 16? Yeah, I don't know. You can vote though at 16, you can have sex at 16. You're considered. You can't drink. You can't drive. No, but you're considered. I mean, you're considered.

to vote for the political state of the country at 16 and to have sex. Really, I need someone to vote. And to get married. You can get married. It's quite a... Yeah, you should be out to have social media. Yeah, no.

I just think for your brain mentally, I still don't think your brain is... It's not fully developed. And you're not, you know, on how to take in some of the things you're looking. Your brain isn't fully developed. I should know that. That was an exam question. It's really late.

Late. It's 20s. It's late. Yeah, well, I'm not. Yeah, because your care documentary was mentioned in that, wasn't it? I finished it, by the way. Oh, you did. I've got the last step today.

Oh, bless you. The last two or three were probably my faves. Yeah, and mine. And mine. Really nice. The couple got me. Oh, yeah, they were. Gary.

And that's actually the thing, I say that. You watch each one, there's bits of it that you're like, oh, no, I did love that. And just in the old, in the old, the dimension. Alan. Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful. And Monaco.

He was so cheek, Alan. Yeah, I love it. Really cheeky. Yeah. And to be fair, when you went to, when you played basketball, the Galanus House. Oh, no, not Galanus.

With the... Battleback, yeah. Battleback. That was really nice. Yeah. Lovely golden. Yeah, it's really lovely. Yeah, no.

The whole thing was brilliant. Well done. Thank you. No, no. So did a great, as I said to you. Yeah, people are still messaging. I know. I surprised me on the old loose women, didn't they?

Oh, I didn't believe it. I haven't seen that. Well, I was confused. I said, but you've got a merit. So I got a merit from my exam. But then... And then all in with the assignment. Oh, my distinction.

Well done. Thank you. Yeah, so good. But yeah, I don't know. Yeah, funny our world. But hopefully when our kids of that age, it's more instilled and... Although, you won't be having all this. It'll be great.

We say that, though. No, I think it will be good. I think there'll be block phones. It'll be different. I mean, even block phones now. There'll be other things that we'll be worrying about, I'm sure. Of course. But even block phones now are coming in. Even Gen Z's.

now using block phones and stuff that it's getting more and more common, common and fashionable. It's just a shame though, isn't it? Because it's more just about the content and these fucking morons that are putting the content on there. Because there's no need, isn't there? No, and the tech companies that are allowing it to be on there. That's the bit I can't get my head round. Well, look at the skincare stuff. I mean, that's a whole other story.

But again, it's not rocket science, is it? All these kids have got terrible skin. I know, but they all allow their children to do it. It's mad. It's mad. I know I don't have a daughter of that age, but I am pretty certain. Especially because you've gone through a bit of... Be allowing my 10-year-old daughter to be having cleansers, toners, serums at 10 years.

Absolutely no way. I used to use baby wipes. Johnson's baby wipes. Then I might have moved to like simple cleansing wipes for years. And ever since I stopped using them and started actually using cleansers and stuff at probably 18, 19 was when my skin went terrible. Well, look at a lot. I think, for me...

I'm not saying that's the best thing I used. But I feel like Eliza, again, it's your first one. You don't really know. I think she started using lotions and potions at about 12. That's mad.

And, you know, her skin hasn't been brilliant. And now, I won't, a lot, Joni will not have a thing. And Joni has friends now at 9

who do a whole skin care routine. Mad. Like eight steps. And also, they're not even wearing a makeup. Where are you getting that? Who's buying it for you? But also,

Also, you're not wearing makeup, like your skin's pure. No, but they're watching these kids on the thing and they want to be like them. They're watching TikTok. Yeah, I can't. It's mad. It's crazy stuff. Cleansers, toners, this, that.

Masks. They're putting all the masks on. I mean, I've just brought myself some masks for the first time in my life. I'm 43. Yes. But that is something. You're not really, you weren't even really doing it. And Eliza is.

It's mad. Yeah, and that's through. Yeah, no, it's way too young. Part too. All these kids, they're still. skin are just going to be. I'm not joking. I'm talking they're 8 and 9.

I think anything, but I don't. Yeah, but they're 8 and 9, 11 and 12. No. But I'm saying they're at primary school. Yeah. It's crazy. Just for me, I'm like, that is another thing to worry. Cut a Ruby.

Can you imagine her? With her exfoliation, cucumbers. No, she won't be. I'll tell you what. She's a girly girl. No, she won't be. She won't. Well, no, you can have natural.

Get some of Veno. Let her think she's, but no, she got, she got, She won't be. No. Also, they shouldn't even be worrying about that. Why are you worrying about that? Wash your face? I know there's little things as a girl.

Like, she'll watch me doing makeup and she'll get the brush and be like, Yes. Do I look beautiful, ma'am? Like, yes. But again, you're talking skincare. This stuff is packed with, you're putting into this beautiful, young skin. Disgusting. You don't need it.

No. And then you're hearing, oh, what, it's all right, I'll just have laser. Yes, wild. You're 13, you're 14. No, no. You're already saying, oh, sorry, I'll just have it lasered. No, who's paying for that? So they're saying cosmeticorexia, how girls are falling down a skincare rabbit hole.

I'm quite glad it's become a thing because I feel like I've been saying it for ages. Yeah, it's a big thing. It's an obsession with achieving flawless skin from a very, very young age. But instead, they're just making it work. Yeah, and also what they're not realising is like they're looking. And actually, what, even I do it sometimes because I'm so paranoid about my under eyes. Oh, God. I see these girls on TikTok and stuff, and I'm like, how have they, they've just,

got nothing there. Because it's filters. Yeah. I know. I know. I know. That's what I'm saying. 1,500, 9 to 12 year old

suggests that nearly half are using multiple skincare products weekly. Yeah, it's nice. And like you say, how are they getting it? That's the... Oh, and then it's a bit... They're falling into a trap of

buying all this expensive skincare, but it's just a straw. And maybe these parents think they're doing the right thing and they're not. I think it's terrible. A lot of it is trends.

A lot of it is not being left out. What your friends are getting, what your groups are doing. It's peer pressure all the time. Most of these things are. I mean, and this is at their age. I was getting bought toys and stuff. I know, but we're not in the 1990s, babe. I know, but...

No, I'm just saying that this is what world we're living in. It's very difficult for youngsters now. I know, but the parents, you've got control at that age. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. It's peer pressure, and they come home and they're crying, and they want it and they left out and they go in the playground and they don't know what they're talking about so they think well I better get it for them because otherwise they left out

it's mad. It's mad. Madness. Yeah, it's mad. Anyway, we're over an hour. Excellent. We're super duper. O'D778-1919. Let us know your thoughts on the Epp.

Lovely to see you both. And you do. I have a lovely evening. You too. I've got a little Bolognaise at home that I made today, ready and waiting. Fantastic. I have done a little lamb shoulder in kind of a tomato and stock and I'm adding butter beans and black beans to it.

Lovely. A little bit of rice. Thank you, chatbot. Chatbot. Chatbot. The rice thing is we. I said it was saute potatoes. Yeah.

Or, yeah, I'm not sure it's one for a rice. Well, it says cuscus, but I'm doing Joni's cus with hers now because she's starving. Do you know what I like, which is really underrated? Oh, she's going to say mash with it. No, that would be good. Boga wheat. I love vulgar wheat. So good, isn't it?

Really nice. Yeah, forget about that. What are you having for dinner? I don't know. Oh, really? I'm not sure. Oh, fair enough. MASH.

I think of MASH. Some sort of steak you think with mash. Oh, no. Tuesday? Steak Tuesdays. Anyway, so we go. Peace out. Love you and leave us.

See you when we see you. Love you and leave you. Love you. Bye. Bye. Bye.
