I felt I haven't seen you in ages. It is ages. Is it, though? It's only been a week. It's a long while. No, but I feel like we've not been in here. 28. Yeah, Dad's birthday.

What's that? A couple of weeks? That's normal, isn't it? Times flying in here. Yeah, no, it flies by. I said to Natty earlier. Sorry, it's because we've had two holidays, not to rub it in people. But I'll say...

So know what day it is? No, but the kids are like going back soon. I've got to start thinking about school uniform. I've got to do the uniforms. I can't wait. Go back, you kids. What do you mean? Because everywhere I go, he's just full of kids.

And I'm not used to it. It's really nice. I went to M&S on Sunday. Had to panic by some bits. And I was like, what is going on? I can't believe how busy it was. I really know. Because I go in the week.

I'm not used to it. I don't do weekend shopping usually even. It was all full. No, because even. that I would go of an evening. I would absolutely not do that on a Saturday or Sunday. Hidious. I think Sunday's actually worse than a Saturday.

Yeah, I think so. People still work a lot more on a Saturday. Oh, they're busy or they do stuff. Sorry, I don't understand. To any normal Sunday, though, why is it busy? What do you mean? No, no, I agree with you. It's busier.

Well, no, it's sale time. Oh, right. But what I'm saying is I haven't been to M&S on a Sunday. since I can remember, maybe I've nipped in, but I've not done what I did. Yeah, fair. So that was wild. So yeah, you can hurry up and get your kids back to school, please. No, yeah, I just, yeah, and even like, what, it's going to be warm.

So do you send them back in? I looked at photos from last year. Yeah, she went back in her summer uniform. Oh, Alfie was in trousers. No, Ruby was in her pinaful, short sleeve, polo, and socks. No types. Yeah, but we've got a few weeks yet. It could easily cool down by them.

Do you think? I just feel weird about sending her back in the summer outfit. I feel like I will still do the pinnifour just with no tight, it's just socks. Yeah, possibly. Do you know? I don't think it's that deep. You see what it's like on the day and whack it out. Well, no, you've got to have it ready.

What do you mean? Well, okay. Just have the week before. Have the options ready? Yeah. If we tried any school trainers, they don't fit. No, of course not. No, what do you mean?

They're not a year old. I only bought them a few months back because the other ones were destroyed. Yeah, but don't you do? I'm a bad person. But Jony's like, my friend. feet, I'm like, no, no, you're going through to the end. I don't care if they rub. I'm not buying new shoes.

I don't even know if it was a rubbing thing. I think it was just boys, isn't it? Playing football, the souls are fucking hanging off. Yeah. So they're not, yeah, they're not that old. Yeah, but I'm doing it. I'm like buying James and summer bits. He's literally going to wear them for a few weeks.

Oh, no, but they need what they need. It's annoying. I did all of Joni's wardrobe out. You've got to see it. It's bare. It's lovely. I need to do that. It's all bare.

She's got a few school things. She's got her summer bits. And then there's a couple of little bits that she's got for the winter, but nothing autumnal whatsoever. It's even like, because it was shit, wasn't it? The weather was a bit shit towards start of summer. Can't remember. Oh, it wasn't great.

It took a while to get into summer. And when it's come, it's been amazing. But even things I can remember buying new tights for Ruby. And then I thought she hadn't worn them. I'll keep them. They're fitting. They're going. I know.

It's just taught. Yeah. Talking of shoes and clothes and things. I've got a pair of shoes for you. Me? Yeah. I thought you'd like these. They're a little brown.

What do you call these? A little kitten hill. I do like those, do you? And I need yours, please. Your other ones. I need to borrow those for my trick. But these are, I can't wear them, basically. And I can't get my foot in them.

Well, what size are they? They're six, but they just, I can't. But they fit me, but I can't get my wide foot in, as Annalisa would say. I've got wide feet. I haven't. But I thought they might suit you. Oh, really cute. Like them?

But what's mad is if I was buying those? You wouldn't buy six? No. So the reason they've come out is I said I could really do a couple of kitten heels for holiday if you've got some. She whacked out these white pair, H&M, stunning. I was like, they're a six. They're never going to fit me. It's unbelievable.

She's going to stretch them out like that. I haven't got wide feet. You do. You've got a little short white feet. They haven't got wide feet. They are a bit big for me. Are they? At the back,

but I can deal with that. So I need your black and your brown ones, please. Elliot, I have got a life. I might be going out. I'm sure you've got them now. Stunning. Thanks. Have your birthday.

We need to do a lot more of that, really. We need to do a lot more sharing. Sharing is caring. Definitely. Yeah, but if Natalie sorts, if we sort our wardrobes out properly, then we'll be able to see what we've got and then we can share.

Although I bought a lovely dress today, didn't fit. There is nothing in my wardrobe that you'd want to share at the moment. Yeah, but she says that all the time. There isn't. I mean, there isn't anything that I'd want to wear to be. No, it's awful. I reckon for me. Or the little shirt and skirt from Marxist.

I could deal with that. What one? The matching stripe one. Oh, you can have that. I'm not going to wear it again. Oh, I bought a stunning set today. From Foot Asylum. Sorry.

A brand called, what was it called? I don't know. Stunning. Stunning. Foot Asylum No, but when I say Like just a casual short and like Little Top

Yeah Farina Is that what it's called? Don't know babe Farina No What jersey Yeah like casual but just nice to

What the fuck you don't in for asylum I was over at Brookfield I was just looking for bits and bobs And I saw it I thought that's cute I need to see this But what I want to do this year And I know it's really boring

on her thing. What's going on here? Thank you to what was her name? She stole it basically. A lady gave me a box of things and they said I'm having that. I was in Opel and Iris and they had the parcel fanatic. She said, would you take it? I said, yep, as long as I'm going to get something from it.

What parcel? Where's my stuff? What's going on? You were away. It wasn't for me, but James kept saying heart and cloud. Oh, that's cute. It's cute. I'd love you to give her a follow, actually, although it was gifted.

They're really sweet stuff. And also for teens and kids, Ruby and Millie Designs is the Instagram. So a little small business shout out there. I like the name. Can I have one, girls? She does some wonderful little bits and pieces, little bracelets. She's done bag, charms. She did a phone, what do you call that?

Strap. I could do one of those. But it's got Eliza on it because I would have nabbed that as well. And then I said to Eliza, this is for you. She did an Eliza. And then I said, oh, I won't wear that. And even Alex said, that's rude Eliza. That's nice that for a holiday.

Well, it's just handy when you're on the beach as well, if you want your phone. But she did Natalie a beautiful pink and red little crochet bag. Really gorgeous. I really love it. You're taking that on holiday, aren't you? Yeah, I need to find if I've got a little outfit to wear with it. I love to have a look at that. Lovely.

Very nice. That was good. What's been going on? We had another celebration, didn't we, from what? We did. That was really lovely. Fabulous. Thank you, Elia, so much for everything that you did that day.

How awful. She did a whole speech. I did not. That's not true. And didn't mention my name. I didn't say a name. No, I'm not being rude. No, I'm sorry.

I've done a lot. I was a bit drunk. No, but if I was prepared, I would have been rude. She gave a lies of a mention. I know what you mean. Mel, obviously got a mention. Me? Nah.

It's because I was looking at them. Oh, okay. I was literally, and I'm going. mate I did a bubble speech after for you I did sick of it never again no thank you

you wait till you're 50 if mate me and your mum have dissected the day oh have you spoken about it fair enough no it was it was so lovely thank you all thank you for sorting the cake girls I loved it thank you Emma our cake lady

it was beautiful I just saw the whole day were very very special yeah your balloons were lovely really lovely all my favourite women minus a few but yeah

oh I thought you meant a few Few of them weren't your favorite. Miners of you. I've got some favorites that weren't there. But no, it was lovely. Sorry, I'm just trying to find the brand. Oh, for God's sake. So yeah, that and then a holiday.

And then you went away. This is the Antarini. It looks stunning. Honestly, I've never, I've never seen anything that breathtaking in my life. Incredible. It looks like, no, it looked like a painting. It makes me laugh because obviously we still keep getting caught. Ferrena.

I don't know what that is. Just cute, just a cute little set. All right, sweet, well done. Not are you 16? Yeah, maybe. Maybe a little airport outfit. You know, you said about the travelling at that post that went viral. Yes.

Makes me laugh every time. Because every time I'd walk out on the balcony, I'm like, this is amazing. And I'll just think of it in a book. Even the photos don't do it justice. It really was beautiful. to be able to, you know, three and a bit, four hours away. Yeah.

Just the people can't do enough. So lovely and genuine. Even like what I found interest in the tipping out there. Yeah. They hardly put service on anything. Yeah, it's different. Obviously, we were tipping and then they limit the tip to 15%. Yeah, very...

Probably because they know as well. People are just going to do that. Yeah, maybe, I don't know. But yeah, just beautiful. I always find that Greeks, they can't do enough for you. Just there's melon coming out, there's Oozos coming out, there's shots coming in. Not every meal. Can't do enough.

We've fallen over themselves. We had some fantastic meals. We went to one that Stavrosse who works with mum recommended. So, and naively we were like, we don't need to book. We'll just go. Didn't need a book? I mean, how they squeezed us in, bless them because we were like desperate. It was really authentic.

You could tell it was family run. Again, free, they said this drink is we make this, this is on us. Free dessert. And the food was incredible. Yeah, really lovely. I highly recommend it. Brilliant. And I was you were in Italy?

Yeah. My food was just as good, probably maybe a little bit better. No. No, it was beautiful. Really nice week. That was my daughter. She was good. Good.

She was very good. Yeah, we had a really nice week. We went to the beach a couple of times. There's one beach that we always used to go to called Gaida. and Fedorch was adamant to take Eliza there because he was like she can't come to the south of Italy and not see the best beach and then the next day we went to this beach club

which was an hour away as opposed to like an hour and half and Eliza was like oh I love it here and he was like fuck so but you know I said you didn't need to do that but anyway it was lovely we had beautiful fish I mean yeah the food the way they cook there is just yeah it's a joke again because that the produce it's the produce I said to

Lydia for my cousin's wife. I said, can I just do James and potatoes and carrots? Just boiled. Obviously had eaten a lot of pasta. So she just went outside, potato out the ground, carrot out the ground. I was like, oh, okay, just as you do. Just unbelievable. I was like, I really fancy like the green beans with oil and garlic.

Bang, the next day, they're there from the garden in the bowl on the table. And this is it. You're there. You say one thing you fancy. And you're doing it. And that is it. Do you remember when we went and we wanted the, was it the Buffalo Mozzarella?

Oh yeah, but that's every, yeah. I know, but then our deal comes back with like a thing. Well, we were on the way from the airport with Ferreucho, and I said, so when are we getting the Buffalo Mozzolla? He said, it's already at home waiting for you. That was our lunch. Oh, it's just the best. Yeah, so good.

And then I said, oh, and last year when we were here, I saw you had the zucchini flowers. The next day, bang, deep-fried zucchini flowers. Oh, so they had them. They were out of season. That's what we ate. I sent you a picture. Absolutely wonderful.

Not in Greece when we're in Tuskely. Do you remember? What about any airport dramas? Oh my God. Do the prem. Please do the prom. Oh, you're not again. Someone that works for Ryanair or EasyJet,

just help me understand. We get on the plane. Bearing in mind, I'm flying solo with Eliza and James. So yes, Eliza is older. No, but still, she's a child. child. We get on the plane. I said, Eliza, just get the pram.

I said to the woman, I have to tag it, but when you get there, ask them, fine. No one asks, so we get on the plane with the pram that I have bought to fold up to be a cabin bag, yeah? Bearing in mind, I've bought this for that purpose, not just this holiday, but for holidays. We go up, excuse me, sorry, I know you've just carried it all the way up here, but it can't go on. I said, why not? Because we've got 100 plus bags coming on. He didn't say full flight. We've got 100 plus whatever.

I said, okay, I said it's just that I'm flying on my own. And when we get off, I need that pram. I can't carry him. He'll be running off, which he does. It's a lot. You're trying to look after passports, get through security. No, sorry, it needs to come down. I said, right, is there no way we can just wait until everyone's on?

And then if you need to, I understand. No, no, it needs to go off. I said, right. So you're telling me, guaranteed, it will be waiting for me when I land. Yep, it will be there. Planes all closed up. Bang. The whole cabin above my head was completely empty.

Oh, yeah, I'd be feeling. And he saw me, I just looked at it. I looked at Eliza and I said, I am fucking fuming. He came over and he went, I'm really sorry. I said, and so you should be. And then what? When we landed, no pram. So to go through security, trying to come.

carry him bags, backpacks. I was outraged. There was a pran then on the thing. No, no, we weren't even on the belt. It was just dumped in the middle of the airport. When we went to Lanzarotti, I had the double buggy. Couldn't bring it, obviously, you can't. Fucking get to the hotel.

I said to mum, we've forgotten the parking. Yeah, I remember you did that. Because it weren't there when it come off. We've got... But also, it wasn't coming round, it's just dumped. Yeah, and again, we overpacked. And we had hand luggage. The kids bought.

they're really what they call. Which are not an ag. I've got taken out by about 14 of those things. I was fucking about... I can't remember. Never buy my son one of those. They want to be... I've got one.

I just turn me down. They want to be carried. So we've got 100 bags. We've just forgot. I'm, Mom. We've got the airport. They were like, if you don't pick it up in five days, it's gone.

We said, no, we're on holiday for a week. I mean, they did keep it for us, and I think we ended up finding it in Stance did. Wow, thank God though. That is mad. But the point also is this pram was just in the middle of the air. It was just donk. Yeah, that's crazy.

I'm then chasing James. Eliza's trying to look for the cases. And then I looked, I went, there's his pram. It's the weirdest thing. I just think the whole, all of it. But also, can I just add, I have paid for priority for me and Eliza. We are allowed hand luggage each, which we did not have. Yeah.

So all we had, Eliza had a bag and I had a rucksack. That's terrible. So that, I was saying to him, but this is my hand luggage and actually we're allowed one each.

So that one... However, El, on the way home, on the way home, they said that whole thing, the flight's full, do you want to put your hand luggage on the belt? Now, again,

I didn't mind because I had a case. But if you're flying just with hand luggage and then you got away. I don't want to do that. The whole point of me not booking a case is to get off and go. Yeah.

But I flew BA, and what we paid for the flights, I think it's a disgrace. I don't get it. We've got just about got a bottle of water. Really? What do you mean? Just about, what do you mean?

Well, I don't know. Just, not even enough, just nothing. So you didn't, you get a bottle of water and a snack? I know, but... Did you not see the difference is what you're saying? No, fair enough. Yeah, for me, I don't... And no case.

No, but you messed up there. No, the flights were even more extortion at all. No, it isn't. It's not, when you book at the time, you just go for the next, like, economy plus, and it's like an extra 20 quid. It wasn't. Well, you don't know, because you don't know at the time.

No, we do, we do. I can't believe it. Well, and then you've got to get buses to the plane. It's not even connected. It's just, yeah, I was shocked. But what we paid, I said I wouldn't do that again. What, you get off the tunnel? Nope.

No. Fair. No, I get it. I do get it. It's a lot of money. What are you paying? I don't really understand. The chairs are not much comfier

I'm right now. No, there is. They are. They are. There is. When I think about, I sit, I can't wait for James to have his own seat. Me and Eliza,

the rucksack, he's sat on me. I can't bend down to get something. I was, yeah, it's not cute. It's not cute. Roll on him being two to have,

I know that's not ideal because you're paying for it, but at least you've got a bit of space. It's ag. No, no, no, no. It's a lot. Yeah, absolutely.

Somebody please just speak to me about the prime situation. because that really gets my guy. It is weird how they're so adamant about it. And they're not there. And remember when we went to Tuscany, we had this issue. And they did allow it in the end. And Dubai.

Yep. Every time. But you've got to have a fight about it. But also, if I hadn't, if I'd just paid to have a handbag, I kind of, I could kind of get it. Because they weren't expecting it. But that is my cabin case. And I've got two.

I'm allowed two. And I've got none. Yeah. So I've paid for that. But there's everyone coming on. But they're doing free bags and the... Yeah, that's fucking Andrew. There was a bloke.

I said to Eliza, when we got to stand, dude, I said, what is going on? This bloke? He had a massive bag. He had a pillow, like two cushions that he bought, wrapped into it. I don't know how he was carrying it. And all of that has gone on the plane.

No problem. Nah, blows my mind. Anyway, change the subject, so I'm going to fucking lose it. No, all I was going to say is when you've got the little cage thing and they stop people. Well, that happened. They stopped blade, didn't they? Yeah. And you've got the right size thing and you've got to take things

out, but it's the right size. I don't get it. And that thing is definitely smaller than the dimensions they say. I think so. Because they're squeezing it in. But also, again, just to add to that, I said to him, a woman has just put her case up there and it's bigger

than me. She had this case. But I think some people try their luck a bit. Well, yeah. The case was not hand luggage. It was huge. We got charged for heavy lifting, heavy bag on the way out. That is a, that is gutted. I was devastated.

And you get 23 KG with VA. I know. I don't get LVU. I didn't make you that mistake on the way back. But, and again, I, you can remember I was having one when I had got to Heathrow and I'm having one because there's no people. No, I know. You're having to do all this on your own.

Do the bag, check this, that. Because it's automatic, you've just got no one to speak to, you just pay it. You got to do the little trick where you put your foot under it. No, I know, yeah. And then it wasn't working and then, oh, there was a queue and we're waiting for someone. I went to the lady and said, is there anyone there to help you? Well, there's a man walking around. I said, well, there isn't.

Because I can't see it. But they just don't, yeah. It is, I do find that mad. All the jobs, just going and just make a computer, not being funny. I know, but let me tell you, in Naples Airport, they've now got them. Do you remember how? bad Naples airport is. Remember, we needed missed our flight at that time.

They've now got like eight of the ones you do it yourself, thank God. Because when we got there, the few, I said to Eliza, we're going to miss our flight. Really? It was massive. But because they had another eight, they have like two checking deaths, you know, but I do feel some of the elderly people. No, but that's, I think, they still had two people on the thing. And they had like three people wandering help.

They would, I have to say, they were very, very helpful. It's stressful. It's another stress. I agree. That is another stress. So people that are not very tics of me, that is a nightmare. I want to talk to someone. I want someone to do it.

No, no, I'm lying. I'm very, very lazy. I haven't got any time and I want someone to do it for me. Yeah, I get that. But I do get that. But you're also another thing. But also, you're paying 50 quid there and back to put your case on the plane. And someone can't even put it on.

50 pound for one case on Ryanair. 50 pound there, 50 pound back. And someone can't. can't even assist you with whacking a tag on it. Really good. I couldn't believe it when we had to put our own tags on. Do you know another thing I find mad? What?

People that check in at the airport. Well, you can't now with Ryan. Not allowed you get a fine now. That's another pissing. You can't check in at the airport. That's mad, isn't it? Lucky I put that on. Well, no.

No, there was that he'd throw. You had the machines. Again, you can check in there. Which again blows my mind a bit. I'm not why you're not just doing that before. Yeah, but some people don't. Yeah, no, that will, yeah, clearly. Well, me and Eliza got from being dropped off through to having sat down,

not having breakfast, but or walked through 20 minutes, checked in bags, security, bearing in mind they also have to check James's milk and water. Was it busy then? No. Oh, why are you looking at? Oh, sorry, in 20 minutes ago. No, 20 minutes. No, sorry, with 20, in 20 minutes.

Yes, we did have fast. Sorry. Unbelievable. That's why we're talking about things. Oh, I know what you're going to say. When you drop someone off now, because I drop the ass on. Oh, yeah, how much paying the grand? No, no.

It's 10 pounds to drop someone off. Yeah. It's always been that. No, I'm sorry. It was seven. Did you pay it, by the way? And what's good is when you forget to pay it? That's good.

But how much money are they making? It's the pits. And actually, when Jack come to pick us up, he wanted to go in the short stay to park and come and help us because obviously, again, luggage and whatever. He couldn't. It was... Luggage, luggage, lackage, lack.

You could only go to the drop-off. He couldn't go in because it was fully booked. We stayed the night before, didn't we? And those people thought that he had booked parking in the airport. Oh, he'd booked the trip for the hotel. Yeah. Oh, so you had to go on a bus. I might as well have just parked at the hotel and got a cab.

So, yeah, we've had to have to have. to then get park, get a bus to be. Oh, yes. Then get another bus to the, no, I think the gate was there to be fair, but then get a bus to the plane. Nice. We've done that before.

But it's on the way home, you know. And you know, you've got to get on that bus. We had that one. But did you not get on the little heath row, the little, lovely little train thing? It's like a little pod. No, no pods. We got on the pod.

Good for you. I'm on the pod. We're on the pod. Anyway, we're having a right fucking mone. haven't we? Other than that, we love going on holiday. Weepy, can't wait to do it again in 24 hours. No, I can't wait.

It'd be excellent. Nervous, though. Easy Jets. How are they going? Yeah, all the best, what we're saying? Why? I've flown my Visi Jet for a while. They're good, I think.

Yeah. Isn't there, like, loads of stuff happening in Sicily, and loads of flights cancelled or something? Really? What? I know, not fire or something. Fire. Really? What about the new forest?

What's happening? It's been a big fire. No. That's awful. Poor Alice. I think it's... That's funny. Sorting itself out now.

It's kind of funny. Hold on. Flight arrival suspended at Italian airport after Mount Etna eruption. Oh, wow. Edna's doing a thing. My friend's dad's flight got cancelled this morning. Wow. Shrucker.

Well, I hope everyone's okay. Yeah. Anyway, let's move on. What have you been up to Natalie? Not really. I've been jaded Ali cats. Oh, wow. Yeah.

done one, I think. One. Or maybe two. I've been really tired. I've been really short. Yeah. That's what I keep saying now. Who plays...

Who plays the other cat, main one? Again. What? Tony Way. Why did you say... Because when I was watching it, I was like, oh my God. That voice. That voice.

But also, he sounds very much like Ricky Jervais. He's the brother-in-law in afterlife. Yeah. Who he works for? The sloth? No, that's Tom Bessam. Yeah. Who does, here we go.

Yeah, who you talk about? She's talking about the one you. This is blowing my mind. Yeah, this one. Yes. Oh, sorry. And he's playing the other one, Bosh. Yeah, Bosh.

I love him. Bollocks. Get in it. I love him. Sparse you up. Bollocks. Right, sorry, yes. I think Ponce is my favourite.

He's great, Tom Buston. So good. You haven't watched, here we go. No, I need to watch it. It goes, well, it doesn't work like that. Does it? I was watching the office. I'm just going to go home and have some salmon.

Oh, who, is that the... Oh, him. He plays the brother-in-law in afterlife. Yeah, that's him. Oh, yeah. But he has written, here we go. Which is an acclaimed sitcom. What's his name, sorry?

On its fourth series. What's his name? Where does his name? BBC I player. Perfect. Tom Bazden. Start that later. I was actually watching the office.

Tom Bazden. Why would you do that? Oh, he's in the... Why would you do that? I'm really sad today. Oh, I know, sorry. No, but I said that to Natalie earlier. I was watching the office last night.

How weird is that? I'm going to send... I'm sure no one listens, if any of her friends and family do. Just my deepest love. Yeah. Dawn in the office has been, has got breast cancer, which is incurable. And she did a really heartwarming, brave post on Instagram. I've not seen it.

I'll show you later. An amazing and, yeah, just incredible. She said she found a tiny little ball. Didn't think anything of it. Wasn't even going to get it checked. So remember guys. And then she was stage four. Oh, bless her.

And she's amazing. Like last night, I just said she's excellent. And I call Joni Dorney. I know. We said she looked, yeah, Joni looks like her. My Joanie looks like Dornie. 52. Oh, God, that's awful.

Yeah. Sending love with you. Never know what's going to happen. So sad. So sad. There we go. Live every day. Mm-hmm. And guys, I've been following a story on Instagram.

There we go. By a girl called Jodie Riley, Liverpoolian. Yeah. I think she was a bit of an influencer, but I think now she's, got more followers because of this story. Look, I don't know the ins and out, so that you quote me. It's like Katie Price of over again. But her daughter was at nursery.

Right. Her daughter got picked up by a granddad who believed he was picking up his granddaughter, put in the car, bought back several minutes later, realizing that he'd got the wrong child. How does he not know what child he's getting? And she's getting no support. The police don't want to know. The nursery won't let her see the CCTV.

Sorry, hang on. No, nursery have allowed. A man. A stranger. A stranger. Yeah. Straight up a child. And granddad, when she's seen part of a bit of...

How old was the child? Four, three, four. I don't... I mean, Ruby wouldn't even go with that person. No, maybe younger. Maybe two. I don't, I actually don't know. I feel like nursery is quite young, isn't it?

Obviously, before the four. They were saying that she was asleep and he picked her up from the phone. sleeps, I didn't see, but she's seeing the CCTV of just that snippet and the little girl is upset, wanting her comfort, he hands the blanket. So it's, but no one's helping her. She's been on Good Morning Britain. Apparently he was shut down because apparently the nursery have been in touch with Good Morning Britain. Hold on her, how do you have a hand.

This is wild. What's the granddad saying? They won't give any information about who their other family are. And that that family have not reached out to say. Sorry, how does the granddad not know that that? is not the granddaughter. Well, precisely what she's saying. So she said, if they just reached out and said,

he's got Alzheimer's or he's, I don't know, had a really bad infection, she'd say that's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just answers. No, no, no, but it's not about that. The nursery. They've let him in. He got in by someone behind him. And what happened to the grandchild who's meant to pick him?

Well, I think he came back and got her. So he was picking up a child. Well, she doesn't know this. the point. She doesn't know. No one's giving, no one's helping them. I would be going. I would be going. The police basically said like, let's get her on the pod. Yeah, honestly.

She said something, the nurse, the police said something like, well, the child wasn't harmed in his fight. She was like, no, you're not understanding. That could happen again. In a car with some random person. Yeah, no, I would be freaking out. And also, if it was you and let's say, I don't know, you're, or whatever, the granddad genuinely, you would just be going to that woman and saying, I'm, the whole family.

I'm so sorry. This is what's happened. Or if the granddad or the mum, if that was my dad, I'd be going to the parents, I'll be saying, no contact, no communication, no nothing. And also the child, her daughter has only been there for two months, so she doesn't necessarily know loads of people. No, I'd be going.

You'll have to find her for me. We'll get her on. We'll have a chat with her next time. I'll be going on. Because honestly, I'm bad, but I think you need, yeah, follow her. Jodie Riley. It's a Patreon special if ever there was one. Because I just, yeah, and I'm following her,

and I hope she gets the answers that she deserves because... I think as a mother you need the answers as to what happened. And actually, I do think the daughters too, because people, she did like a Q&A last night and people are asking, how is she? And she said, thankfully she's fine because she doesn't understand, but it's, I need to know. And also, she's like, well, what happened in those 10 minutes?

You know, I need to understand. No, no, no, no, no. Do you remember last, up, we were talking about, talking about school reunions. Oh, yes. This is from Debbie. She said, I have helped organise a 30-year primary school reunion last weekend. Wow.

Oh, have you know, I didn't even mention my pilot husband or free houses. Was really odd how a group who haven't seen each other in 30 years can have such a nice time together. Kids too, it was lovely. Weeing in the pool is grim. A seaweed on the other hand. I love it. What's the difference there, Deb? See.

Seahoo. See me. He's sort of like, there's quite a lot of sea And salty Well, there's quite a lot of shit in our sea So we don't need any piss in it as well See, I think I would rather do a primary school reunion Than a secondary school reunion

Agreed Definitely I might organise it You can do it for your 40th year, couldn't you? Because you'll all be 40. Oh yeah! Maybe December, little Christmas No, everyone's turning 41 soon, September

There you go Oh yeah, you're the young one, aren't you? I am. The young one. Lovely Dorney said, what a lovely way to listen to you and the nieces, sitting on my balcony in Portugal, here for 10 nights, and it's absolutely beautiful. So thank you, Dorney, having to listen.

Yeah, we've got a few messages on Nets Nices, and I posted a few away. It's being like, I'm on holiday, I'm on holiday. Who did you see at the airport? Oh, my God. Oh, yes. So I'm walking through the passport control bit now that you've got to do. Now, did that make any sense? This couple sat there

This is in Naples Airport And then James is doing whatever And then this couple's like She turns around She goes, you're not as nieces aren't you And I was like What? This is so random in Naples

And you know Maria knows her friend who works. No, I know her daughter-in-law, her son's girlfriend through work. I might be. I might have her own. I am. But really lovely. And yeah, it was funny. We were having a good chat.

And then I said, well, hopefully you're at the back of the plane. She was like, no, I'm actually two seats behind you. Because Eliza just said, I was a whole for you. And James, they were very good on the plane. But yeah, it was brilliant. I mean, to meet someone like that in Naples, Apple was mad. Very good. Yeah, really nice people.

We had a lovely message here from Michelle, who said, just book the brunch. Can't wait to extend the 40th birthday celebrations. It's gold. Guys, the brunch is selling out quick. I know, and we haven't even posted about it really. Well, it's just because we're so popular. No, but we've got beautiful Patreon followers.

I thought you just go, we got to be popular. Popular. What's that from? Wicked. How is it? She didn't have a clue. No, she went. So, I'm not seeing my kid.

I'm not seeing it. I'm not interested. Oh, fair enough. But everybody says it's really, Glenda, Elthabha. Gleander. That's all she does. I'm like, you haven't even really seen the film. So I don't know.

No, it will be a really nice day. But there isn't, seriously, there are not many tickets left. No. Come down. Come and have a weekend. Enjoy yourself. Yeah, book a night. I don't know if there's any room in the inn.

Hence the name, Hartford House Hotel. But it's a lovely little boost. And also the town's really lovely. You could have a lovely little Sunday lunch and then head home. It is nice. It is nice. Yeah, I can't wait for it. I'm going to have a cracking day.

It's going to be fun. Yeah. And if it goes ill, then there may be more. Hope so. Cracking little afternoon. Fucking was she going to wear. God. What's she going to wear?

Yeah, you. I don't know. I don't know. I said to be. It's being jeans. I obviously dressed her. Jeans. Do you want me to wear?

Jeans. What do you want me to wear? Do you know another non-negotiable? Oh, yeah, we said this. Hummers. Yeah, that's true. But when you're drunk. Hummers.

Your mum posted the picture of me. The bras. With the bra on my eye. Yeah, that was standing. How do you interpret this photo? That's your mum's new thing on Patreon. It's her thing now. How do you interpret this photo?

I looked at the photo. I said, what the fuck is I can't remember a thing. It was like the fly. Also, once we've done the brunch, feedback on night. What sort of vibes people work on? Right, it's in October. I said that a bit closer than time.

Jeez. Listen to the latest Nat's nieces and lolling at the host pipe watering can convoy whilst walking past someone with a trolley full of compost. Six big bags may be. Well, they're using their housepipe, aren't they? My grass is rank.

Wish I'd watered mine. I will be next year because no doubt these idiots in charge will have another ban in place. Tap off when brushing teeth. Tap on when washing up for efficiency. Fab episode. Glad you guys had a great time in Tuscany for Maria's birthday. That's one holiday I'd have given my right arm to be on.

Emma. Talking to the host, my garden's fucked, mate. My grass. Oh, is it fucked? Well, I'm getting it done. Out the front yesterday, I got my mat, my door mat, and I bashed it on the grass because it was a bit dirt. I was cleaning all my front door and that.

I went like that. Solid as a rock. No, solids. All the grass, all the grass on the... On the... I mean, how can you say that? What did you, Sissu or don't? No, what did that me is the sirely?

That's my cuck. That's a really good one. That's our brother, by the way. I'd be on the soon. I bashed my mat onto my front grass and all of the grass jumped up. Yeah, it's all fucked. It's all split apart.

It's gone, finished. I reckon I could just go like that. Yeah, it's just... I've never said. I'm getting mine all dug up and re-sowed. Oh, lovely. Well, I wouldn't do that next day. I didn't know.

I was going to do it a couple of weeks ago. Thank you, I didn't. But I don't even feel like they're going to be able to dig. No. Are they digging up? Well, no, they'll have to water it when you've got some wet. You have to wait to it rains. I would do it in, like, October and get a nice bit of rain on it.

it. Very good. But it's absolutely devastating. To be honest. And then you'll have frost. Which you'll fuck it. It's hard. We had new grass laid. It was perfection. When? In October. Yeah. I was going to do my pots at the weekend. Just to try and make it look a bit.

No. I wouldn't bother. But you can water then? But you can. But there's no point. You won't do it. It's irrelevant. What is happening with the water? Because I'm hearing the little of things about. I think of Rod Stewart was happening with his water.

So Rod seems to be okay. Very green. Oh, Rod down the road. Yeah, but Rod's probably got an underground irrigation system. Correct. I agree. That isn't a wastage of water. Absolutely, I agree.

It's all underneath. So what about things like the roundabouts? Sorry? You go round it and you turn off. One, two, three, four. Fuck, is she on the route? I always think about them. What do you mean?

I always think about them. Fuck a shot about the grass on the roundabout they're all fucked if you look at them now they're all dead so how do they become green again what do you think

the whole world is just can live with straw now we're in a drought right no but I'm saying like ours is never water it if I just leave my garden

your grass was fucked before okay the roundabout might have been fucked but I don't know why you're worried about what about the parks the verges So what happens?

A roundabout is for you. I'm just, I'm confused. Just when I drive, part, like, round them. Yeah. I think no one's going to relay those, are they? I would imagine they do, because you know why? They probably seed it, water it. Oh, they do.

If you look at a roundabout, it's usually sponsored by someone. Oh, okay. You've seen that? Yeah, like, signs. So they'll be going fucking right, matey, down there. Do us some new grass. The roundabouts are fine. Okay, so what about the parks?

Then what happens there? Not a lot. I am sorry to tell you that I'm not cancer I don't know any of this information I'm feeling under pressure but I haven't really got the answers But also can I just say That a lot of these parks

They're just relying on rain So they'll win the rain cut They'll just grow back It will just naturally It will We'll probably have a really really wet winter I would imagine It's now becoming a bit of a concern

The lack of water we've had And the amount of water everyone is getting a bit pissed off because the amount of water that is being wasted on leaks I know, it's true, underground, first water mains that happens, what do you mean? No, but they're saying that they're not keeping on top of it and that's why we are where we're at.

I had that a little few years ago. Did you? Not bad that was. Do you remember? They wanted to dig up my garden. It's like, fuck, they managed to do it. Really? Yeah, because I'm on like a shared thing.

like a load of houses I don't really know what happened but like if the leak is there then they've got to get it out but yeah it's a bit of a shocker really really need to talk about this quickly you sent this this morning yeah where is it

and I really want to talk about it I can't see what is it because I sent it to Mark and said this is where we're at in the world what is it so it's WhatsApp and now creating now you can create a username

and if you message someone that doesn't So if you message me, it's irrelevant because I've got your number. But if you message John. I could be like Mergie underscore Hot Girl. Yeah, you could just have a username. Mergie underscore Hot. She's definitely got that somewhere.

But basically, if somebody, if you're messaging someone random, you don't need to share your number. Oh. Which I think in some cases is quite good. Why? Why? Listen. If you're purchasing some, let's say that you're buying.

some, you, I don't know. Well, wow. No, go on. That's not, what's good about the fact that I... No, I didn't agree with it, actually, so I don't know why I'm saying that, but I thought of something earlier when I thought it could be good. It's just another... It's just another way.

To cheat, to be a pedophile. No, what are you talking about? Yes, it is. Because it is. Hang on, what do you mean? Why is to cheat? Because it's just another way... No, no one's going to see your...

Oh, no, that's not true. What are you talking about? It's got nothing to do with that. What's it to do with them? If I'm WhatsApp in somewhere. Yes. It's just going to have their username. You won't have their number.

You're not going to be... If you need to WhatsApp John down the road about your... He's fixing your car tire. If he needs to fix your car tire and he says, send me a WhatsApp and you think, well, I don't really want... It will just come up with your name. He then doesn't have your number.

No, that doesn't bother. Everyone's got a number. But that is quite good for you famous folk. isn't it? There's certain things but the thing that I don't like I think a lot of bullying could happen and that's where it's an issue

and anything though you could pick your username as anything and start like trying to hot people up that's what I'm saying it's disgusting it's true if you don't have that person's number

you've got to get their number in the first place I know but yeah but soon soon you won't need numbers you'll be able to search usernames and shit like that and just WhatsApp anyway

But the point is I just think hiding behind a username and someone could be messaging me, abusing me, and I don't know who it is. But I know it's someone that I don't have their number, but they could be doing it on someone else. It's fine. I think for teenagers now, it's awful. So what is the purpose of it, sorry.

What does it say on there? Probably, yeah, privacy. Usernames are coming to keep your number private. Reserve your username to connect with new people. So what's that about? people. I think you're going to be able to just search people's user names.

It's fucking madness, the whole thing. Your number will stay hidden from anyone who doesn't have it saved. The point is they're trying to become more. If you're having an affair, you could just put it as like, oh, Katie, or do you put your username as Katie when you're part of the scrolling through your phone and won't even notice? No, because everyone will see that username. That's fine.

But if the wife finds it, there's no number to it. No number to Katie. She can't phone them up. It is. if it doesn't have your number saved. Sorry? Yeah. If you don't have the number saved.

I mean, yeah. Well, I think there's probably have their number saved. No, not necessarily. No, because you'd do this, wouldn't you? Yeah. But the point is if your username is Katie, everyone's going to see you on a username as Katie, and I'd be saying, why is your username Katie?

Does it? We have different phones, Elf. People will set up those of different accounts. Of course they will. But on WhatsApp, you can only have one. You can't have multiple unless you literally get a whole number. a phone and therefore having it

good. People do have a phone yeah but that's a relevant then to have a you just have a phone that you hide

I don't know the purpose of it to it I don't know for me it was more around those teenage it's trying to be

more towards teenagers it's trying to be a little bit Snapchat it's trying to be more social media

and I don't like it no not at all well you can't put stories on there can't you own profile things now

on WhatsApp people change their stuff they do do? Do they do yeah yeah people

do it's crazy world out there I mean one thing On holiday I noticed when it was at Nicky Beach. Don't get me wrong. Stunning.

Stunning women. Yeah. But I just cannot believe the amount of women I saw. Taking pictures. Not even them taking pictures. Posing. Their partners. Yeah.

I saw one guy literally just, she filmed a bottle of champagne being poured for about an hour. Yeah. I've never seen anything like it. Then she stood there and danced and posed. And he just filmed her. So then she can edit all together. I was like, this is madness. And he's doing it.

You're stunning. But yeah. Can you really love yourself? Just enjoy it. But you say love yourself, it might be her job. So she's an influence. So she's then got to edit all that together with music. She needs material.

Even that. Even that. I could never imagine thinking I look that. She's getting paid for it. I know. I was literally out, wow, this is mad. You're not why? You're not actually having a nice thing.

Yeah, but she might have been, yeah, that might be part of why she's there to do that. Yeah, I'm not sure. But there's a lot of people that do, I mean, we can't even have a photo. No. On a night out, let alone doing that. I mean, I took the odd selfie and a nice sunset or whatever, but I just found it, Matt. I just couldn't believe it was just for me. Like, I can't imagine my partner just staying, I'd feel so awkward, them just filming me.

No, I've seen it, and they're like, up, down. Yeah, it's mad. What's going on? Jack would be like, see ya. Funny, funny old world. We live in a funny world. But those sorts of places attract that. Yeah.

That's, you know, they go for that. But we should really do a few more bits and pieces online. We're terrible. What are we going to do? Yeah, but again, and again, I think people really appreciate how we are because we don't do loads and I don't, certainly don't do loads and loads. But at the same time, to make things grow in this industry, you've got to do more. So it's a little bit hard.

We have the day here. We've not posted any of it. No, no, no, it's not. When was that? No, some of it's quite all, again, it's better for the Burr months, a lot of it. I have to be honest, I've had to look through. So, no, we have got some bits and pieces to do. But again, it's not enjoyable, is it?

I don't, I, again, I was thinking about it, and I just, it doesn't come natural to me. I would struggle, I'd find it a chore. I mean, good luck to these people that do it. That's quite, it's hard work. Yeah. But I think, as well, at our age, it's different. If we were younger, we'd probably be more immersed in it. Maybe.

Maybe. Now to go and put yourself into that. That's fucking hard. Even now, I see someone's things on social media, popular people doing stuff. How the fuck can you be bothered? Obviously, they're making a living. No, I saw Olivia Atwood did something today. And it was so, it was quite long, but it was the whole day, what she was doing all day.

Oh my God, you've had to do all that. Yeah, but she's not all day. No, she's got someone doing it. But I'm saying you've got someone with you all the time to do that. Yeah, absolutely. Or I've seen other people, celebrities, and they've got a team with them all the time. But that I get at that I could do. That would be easy.

I don't know if I could do it. I'd rather that and do it myself. Yeah, that's true. We went to my hoopla. I took a load of. I don't mind taking stuff. Not of me 24 or 7. Yeah, but it wasn't all the time.

We did about five videos. No, I know. But then someone clipped it up for us. I'm not sitting there doing all that. I'm so sorry. Come on. I'm so sorry. Mom's using my Amazon.

And I said, she said, have you got a code? I said, yes. But is it you? You know, now you've got to be careful. Oh, yeah. So she said, yes, Al. I said, how do I know? She said, your middle name is Evelyn.

And you have her extensions. And I'm saying it yours tomorrow night. Is that enough? Very good. She is funny. You got to do it. You've got to check these guys. Because people can hack your shit.

Why don't she get her own Amazon? Exactly. You tell me. She uses it more. than me. That's brilliant. I love that. Bless that.

Honestly. I heard that Andy Burnham is doing something about subscriptions. What do you mean? What do you mean? Does that mean? It'd be nice if you, like, cut them all in half because I'd do my absolute beans on subscriptions. What was I on the other day? I'm like an Adidas member.

And I saw I get like perks because I get points. And I'm sure one of them was like a free Spotify for X amount of my... I'm not, I need to look into these probably shows that you can't realize. I think I've got free Spotify through Barclays or MX or something. Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Amex, darling. No, I'm just saying it's $12.99 a month that we don't need to be spending.

Yeah, I know. I used to get it through my phone. E.E don't do it. FASTISD. 140 quid a lot of money. Yeah, that's really annoying. No, I'm good with mine. I know I get something through E and I can't think what it is.

I get loads of start. I've got to do it. It's important. Anyway, on that note. We've not eaten yet, starving I am. What is the time? Nine o'clock, but Jesus. Oh, be Jesus.

I've been listening to Irish traditional music lately, and I really love it in the car. Can I just say something? I wouldn't mind doing that. We've not had one evening here. This stark. I'm here. I'm staying.

No, it's too late. We've been sitting in the garden. It's too late. We've not had a garden. I'm available. Even not the kids. I'm available Saturday next Saturday. She's not here.

Last week of August, we've got to do it. I'm not here. I'm here. All right. You have a nice time. We'll do one. You do one. How are you going to do it?

Tonight. We're not in the garden. I'm with the sunset. Oh, we've been a bit of music on. There's no sun. It's dark. This is what I mean. It's madness.

We haven't sat out there until like 10 or 11 o'clock. No, it's finished. We haven't done a lot of things. We haven't had a day out. We haven't done anything for you. I've been to Tuscany on holiday together. No, no. We and Dom had a lovely day at Harlow Town Park yesterday.

How lovely. You're working. I need to have Amelia over. She's busting him. Dom actually texts me and said, can Amelia stay and I need to do that for her. You should. We're going to do it on Sunday. You said, I can't think that because I can't have Amelia and then I feel bad on a roomie.

I said, just have Amelia and then have Ruby. And then before we know, it'll be winter and then there'll be no fucking Christmas. Chinanigans. Not here. We'll love to do stuff at your house. Awful, awful. awful situation. What's the situation, Spoggy?

Can we do darts this year? Not sure. No, I think we should go. No, we should definitely go. I can't be talking about darts, right? I love you all. 07-8-28-20, 19-19. Love you.

Thank you. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Nice. Right, can we go and have a little drinky and a bit of food? Oh, I've got to go home. Oh, shame on you. And see you when we see you.

Hopefully. See you over the roundabout? I was just going to say that. I'm just going to say it. I can't wait to have a look at the old roundabout. Let us know how the roundabouts are looking near you. And if you're worried about them at all. Take some pictures.

Send them in. Bye-bye.
