Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?

It's terrible. Well, you say that. We've done one on our own. We've done a couple, so. But people love them. They're like old Nats nieces. Well, it's not a lot. How long have you been going?

A few months. Three months? Yeah, it's all right. End of April? May, June, July. Yeah. One a month. Yeah.

Shocker. We've still got loads of time. We've got loads of time. We've got all of our lives if it continues to be as successful as it is. It's all good, isn't it? Absolutely. How are you feeling? I'm all right.

Yeah, we're good. Had a little appointment at the hospital yesterday. Did it all go well? Yeah, all good. Little growth scan. Yeah. How's the Hersey going? £4.10, they said, which I thought was quite big.

I think that's big. They weren't concerned. What's interesting is when they do the percentiles, they do the femur, the stomach and the head, and it's sort of like a chart. His head is on the further end of the chart. Right. So he's got a large head.

I don't remember paying attention to any of this stuff. I find it really, I love it. You love it, you're large head i don't remember like paying attention to any of this stuff i literally find it really i love it you're well into it i find it really interesting even yeah my some friends have said the same they're like i don't but i love looking at it i find it really interesting no i think so um percentile wise though let's have it your head's not overly big it's got a big head though isn't he he? He's got quite a meat head Anyway, good luck, ATV But yeah, no, all good, thank you Everything's good Oh, that's good, that's good

Was the parking alright? Because that hospital can be a nightmare It was awful I drove around like four times There was a bit of a parking situation Where a woman had parked in a space she shouldn't have And she was like, oh, can you get through? How I got through I will never well it used to stress me out i mean i used to go in with probably

i don't know how i didn't have high blood pressure because the stress levels of parking well so this happens i've had tickets why haven't they done a multi-story there do you think but this they have just put this massive car park in right but like But like you said, it was visiting hours. It was just coming up to two o'clock. And then you realise when you go in, you see all the people coming in. I'm seeing this one. But this woman had parked in a space that wasn't hers. And then I gave up in the end.

So I waited at the front and a woman walked and I said, where are you leaving? And I followed her. She was then parked in front of the woman that wasn't in a space, which obviously, so she wasn't, it wasn't a space, but she was just trying to get her car there, but it was making it too tight for everyone else. So I'd followed her there, waited.

She's then zoomed into the space. I said, no, no, no. I was on the phone to you. I said, look, I'm not being rude, but I've just followed this woman. She was like, no. And then realised she'd already spoken to me before. And said I'm parking here. So I was like, you're just trying your luck

because you've been in the space for 10 minutes that you shouldn't have been in. And then I felt bad on her because she probably had an appointment as well. But I was like, no, I can't. I've got an appointment. You can't do that. That reminds me of when we went to the seaside.

Again, there was two little car parks. Oh, it's a nightmare. Nightmare. Yeah. Yeah. So on like the hottest day of the year. So me and mum were driving around and I'm starting to get stressed, aren't I? Oh, yeah.

I learned that from mum, didn't I? Yeah. So I've never ever thought to do this before. What? Are you joking? What? What I did. What do you mean?

No, go on. So mum said, I'm going to get out and as people are walking down the stairs into the car park, I'm going to ask them. No, she asked them, are you leaving? Yes. And then followed them to the car. Yeah. And that's what we did.

What? You've never thought to do that? No, I've never done that. Well, I did it. It was just in my car. Oh, I know. Yeah, but I've done it loads. Are you leaving?

No, I know, but that's when they're at the car. No, I followed this woman. No, I mean, just if they're randomly walking, I'm like, are you leaving? Because the fact is, I'm going round, but every time I'm going round, I'm coming out.

You're missing, yeah. And other people are coming in. That's right. And there isn't much, you can't really stop. So I did get quite lucky on my next, my third or fourth coming in

because I was asking loads of people, no, we're just loading up the car. No, I've got hours yet. They were just coming back. So this woman, thankfully, was leaving and I managed to follow her. I miss the days where you used to, someone used to go, yeah, you could have my spot

and you could have my ticket too. Yeah, yeah. You can't do that anymore. Absolutely fabulous. But you can't anymore, can you? You have to put your reg in. I used to love giving them away. That made me feel so so even if it was like

40 minutes really interestingly I went to London the other day and I got a travel card and I always try and find someone to give my travel card to

when I come through I'm like do you need a card well I'd never get a travel card but some of the stations around here why do you get a travel card you have to

from our closest one oh because you can't there's no tap no but you can get one which I've found out you can get from here to Tottenham Howe

or wherever and then you tap which is much cheaper I didn't know that I nearly fell over by the way I can't believe how much

a travel card it's nearly 40 quid no it's not it's about 37 pounds wow I remember I think the last time i got one it was probably like 26 yeah god i can't remember the last maybe i'm wrong i might have to

check that i think no that sounds a lot no so if you if you went with the girls you're doing like 120 quid on travel cards no no no they'll be cheap jones two quid for travel I think Eliza's yeah mine's like 20 but Eliza you should get one of those under 20 don't know how old you've got to be

when you get a discount one I don't know but if you're travelling to London a lot you should really look at how to do it the cheapest way

but because I'm lazy and I don't want to stand at that thing when they're trying to work stuff out yeah you just want a ticket I just want a I don't want to stand at that thing when they're trying to work stuff out yeah you just want a ticket I just want a ticket and I want to go what all zones the travel card

yeah just a travel card for the day why is it not straightforward but yeah I always give my I always try and find someone else you know if I'm coming off the train at four someone might be travelling all night I never thought of that that's good no you're talking absolute shit if I'm coming off the train at four, someone might be travelling all night. Yeah, no, I never thought of that.

That's good. So I do that. No, you're talking absolute shit. Oh, am I? Yeah. Shock. Adult off-peak daily travel card, £15.20, zones one to six. Oh, no, no.

Okay, but what do you mean off-peak? Valid from 9.30. No, that's an off-peak one. Who's talking off-peak? Yeah, adult peak day travel card, £21.50. Yeah, but I've definitely, definitely... That don't make sense then. So it's cheaper for me to get a travel card rather than tap in. Is it?

£21.50. Yeah, I've never paid... Oh, no. What? I've never paid that. That is cheap. No, I don't think that's... When we went once, I remember it being £26, £27 remember it being 26 27 24 50 or 26 but i'm sure

the other day it was in its 30s honestly i'm not making that up i don't know why and i was on my own anyway by the by i think we've hit the nail on the head with possibly the two worst places to park and that is a hospital and a seaside town If anyone's got any ideas and can let me know another place which is worse to park than a hospital or a seaside resort, please let me know on 07788 20 1919. Because I think we've hit the nail on the head. Anywhere in London? No, you can park in London.

I drive into Marylebone and I can park easy peasy. What do you mean? How much does that cost you? I couldn't tell you. No, I think not from a cost perspective. It's the physical. Because even the hospital, I was there for three hours yesterday, £2.90. It's gone down.

And it was all right once you got in there and that, yeah? Yeah. There's just a lot of strange people, isn't there? Including you. Including me. No, but there is. Do you know what i i was saying to my friend today they hospitals are a very weird place absolutely i i can't help but walk

into one and look at people and think why are you here i saw a family all sobbing i know i think they'd lost a dad i saw a couple coming out of the maternity unit. It's just weird. And then you're seeing people walk out with their scan photo and they're just overjoyed. It's weird. And then, I don't know. Well, it is. It's like the start of life and the end of life.

Or you go to the coffee shop and you see people and they've got maybe oxygen. You think, what are you doing? I know, but also can I just say that you are like a detective in every area of life? Yeah, no, I do. I've never known anyone so nosy about anything. But there was a couple.

I was very confused. They had matching... So they looked the same. And they had matching T-shirts on hubby and wifey. What, in the hospital? In the hospital. She had a bride white bag, so I don't know if they'd maybe just stepped off the plane

from their honeymoon, but weird attire to maybe be wearing to the hospital. But aside from all that... What were they doing? I think it was their first scan, their 12-week scan. Surprised they didn't have mummy and Daddy on their T-shirt. It was really weird. It was very odd.

Have they stepped off their honeymoon? Hubby and Wifey. Come back from their wedding. Yeah, did they get married? And they've just, I don't know. Found out that they were, would they have a scan? Oh, no. I don't know.

It's very strange. But why are you wearing that to a hospital that sort of attire well no do you know the world we live in why are you wearing that anyway

at any time what do you mean my hubby and wifey t-shirt no if it's the morning of your wedding if you've just got married and you've woken up and you're having breakfast

with your family no no thank you no thank you no I'm not saying I I'm just saying it's not for me that's an appropriate place to be wearing it correct if you are on route home from your abroad wedding i wouldn't be i'd like if you was at an airport you're like fair play yeah at a hospital weird it makes no sense aside from of that, just needed the world to know everything about them.

Well, you must have loved it. Well, no, I didn't find out. I was hoping they might start talking about a wedding. You know, I could get a bit of understanding on the T-shirt. But they just spoke so loudly. And then, you know, like when they're speaking loudly, but they also look up to see if people are looking. Oh, stop it.

No, no. speaking loudly but they also look up to see if people are looking stop no no it's i have to butt in here because i promise you we went to london as you know um last week and one of my pet peeves genuinely there was a guy on the train with his son and me and mark got on with joni and he was so annoying, this guy. Yeah, I just. That I can't quite explain what I mean, and I know this sounds so horrible, but he was very bright,

and he was going, would you like to sit on that chair? Would you like to sit there? But then looking up, looking around, and I thought, why are you shouting that? Just talk to your son.

Do you want to sit on there or what have you? And then he was saying, well, you could sit on top of the suitcase, but the chair will be safer, and then looking around the carriage. And I thought it was really, really annoying for a good 40 minutes. There's a lot of people that. But why is that? Do you think they're a bit lonely and they were hoping someone talks to them?

Maybe trying to start a conversation. Or just look up and say, you're all right. Yeah. I think it's like an attention because she was like, it was all weird. He went and got some water and she was like, I'm not going to drink all of this. I know they want me...

Clearly she needed a bit more of a full bladder to do the scan. Right, okay. But the sort of like announcing, it's like we're all in the same place. We've all probably been there, done it. It was just weird. She was like, I think you're a twit. And then like looking around and I was like, no, I'm so confused. I know, but it's also like a certain type of person

that does that sort of thing. I know I'm stereotyping a little bit but i always feel it's kind of someone who could have been a children's tv presenter but hasn't quite made it yeah but this was well no i wouldn't classify this person as as that right but i do think just want just a bit attention seeking yeah people just like the fuss and maybe for someone to go oh my god have you just got married maybe that's what they wanted yeah very but the the for me that whole that talking and then looking up and seeing who is looking that is really strange to me i'm trying to i feel like i've experienced that before but I can't put my finger on where. You would have. You would have in life.

I know many people that are like that. Do you? A couple. Do I know them? No. No, just I've been in that situation a few times. It's weird. It is weird.

Maria, I've got a message for you, sweetheart. Excellent. Danielle has messaged to say, Hi Nat, I lost my podcast virginity with Life With Nat and I've remained faithful ever since. I listen to you every morning whilst getting ready for work and love the dynamic with the guests you have on, which brings me to my request,

tenuously linked to fashion faux pas, some might say. Can you ask your niece to have a word in the ear of the stockist's ASOS to bring back the Western Chester boots, wide fit in both black and gold? Oh, she don't want much. Honestly, these are the best boots I've ever had. And in a moment of madness and needing a little cash, I sold them on Vinted. I've regretted it ever since

as finding a wide fit for a size eight foot is like panning for gold in the medway what clothing items from the past do you still wish you had anyway keep doing what you're doing i look forward to every new rep recommend you to everyone i speak to love having you accompany me as i prepare for work each day as your pods immediately put me in a good mood danielle danielle i'll have a word do you know what boot she's talking about oh yeah i know the millions of products um no but what i will say is that trend is very much here so i'm sure there will be versions coming out this autumn winter keep your eyes peeled girl oh lovely if i see anything i'll let you know. Oh, excellent.

There's loads of stuff that I wish I didn't get rid of, especially designer stuff. Yeah. But what did Danielle say? Like, what was one thing you missed from, you wish you never got rid of? That's a really good question. I had a cute little Burberry bag.

I sold that. Oh, cheers. Where? At the car booth? you... I sold that. Oh, cheers. Where? At the car boot? I think I sold it on eBay. Wow. A little sort of like back... Yes.

Yeah. But I think that was in my days where I sold things and I was terrible at sending them. No, it was mine. Yeah, I know. I don't know. Oh, my God. That's very... You've really handled that well, I thought, Maria.

Oh, am I? I mean, you would not have that well, I thought, Maria. Oh, have I? I mean, you would not have used it. I would have, I reckon I would have. And I had a little Prada. What about the Prada one? Did you sell that as well? No. But the Prada, yes, that one, that's mad that you got rid of that.

Well, I can tell you now the stuff that I have got rid of. My biggest regret were all my Gucci loafers. Yeah, I mean, yeah. And what did you do with them? Yeah, that is weird. That charity shop threw them. Yeah, charity shop. Charity shop.

And they were beautiful, all creased and old. Like, they would be classic now. Real shame. Yeah, that is a real shame. Yeah. But there's loads of things, isn't there? Things come and go. I just, yeah, I just think designer stuff,

especially back in the day, things obviously come back around. But again, it always happens. I just think you should try and hold on to it if you can because they will come back around. She always keeps all her bags, everything. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, look after them

and then get them back out. Like she's got like an old school, like Fendi one or something like that. It's so, they're excellent yeah there's definitely some bits that are classic that you should just try and keep hold of but in saying that all the juicy tracksuits we had i mean i would never wear them but i mean now eliza tells me she don't even wear them anymore so it's money well spent but do you mean they did you didn't spend it hun it was me it was you it's on vinted by the the way. Wow. Is it really? Eliza?

Eliza? No, leave her, leave her, leave her. Don't. She won't tell me anything. Leave her. No, why are you letting her put it on? She only got it for her for Christmas. I've never seen her wear it.

I've got 50 quid she's put it on for, if you don't mind. I mean, fair play. This is unbelievable. But anyway, yeah, even stuff like that, it's come back round. Yeah. We had loads of them. Uggs we used to wear. Oh, absolutely.

What about when Dad sold my pink Timberlands at the car boot for about two pounds? I mean, why have you got pink Timberlands? I know, but still, back in the day, like, again, someone would wear them now. They were sick. And also, Timberlands are very in fashion, aren't they? They're coming back. But yeah, Dad sold them at the car boot for car booth. What about my pointy heeled ones? Oh, my God. Do you remember them?

I do remember them with the rubber heel. Yeah, but they were heel. Proper stiletto Timberland pointy boot with the lace up with the hooks. Yeah, J-Lo. It was like J-Lo. J-Lo. J-Lo. J-Lo. Swing low. J-Lo. J-Lo.

Swing low. Sweet chariots. Hideous. Anyway, move on. Moving on swiftly. Just listened to Nat's niece's episode whilst driving home. Just been for my pre-holiday pedicure, and I was driving home in my flip-flops when you spoke about it being illegal.

I can't say it'll stop me as I don't want smudged toes. Oh. What do you mean? Don't you get gels? Oh, Stace, there you go. Not everyone gets gels on their feet. It's more money, isn't it? I actually, I need to remove the gels, I think.

Why's that? Because my nails are like paper. Oh, yeah, they fling them. Mine just break. Mine are destroyed, ruined. Look at that big toe, half of it just hanging off casually. So I think I need to just get it all removed. Yeah.

Have a nice pedicure and then just put some nice strengthener on my toenails. Yeah, and just do a bit of nail varnish for a while. Well, through the winter. Just don't worry about it. I've never had that, though. No, gel's meant to thin, aren't they? They are. They break, like, through the middle.

The middle. Bloody hell. No, that's exactly what mine's done. It's split down the middle. Yeah, split.. Bloody hell. No, that's exactly what mine's done. It's split down the middle. Yeah, split. That's it. Oh, that's not good. Let's have a listen to this.

Oh, my God. Your Nat's niece's latest episode is the funniest thing I've ever heard. I wish you could just put them on YouTube so we could just watch you all because it is just hilarious. Not looking like this, hun. What do you think about doing one of these live soon? We'll do it one evening. what do you think about um doing one of these live soon we'll do it one evening what do you think yeah we're live and then everyone can see us and we can see what people say and i think it'll be a really good idea i don't know that makes me feel

very nervous nervous nervous why at least you'll be sober you'll have to be in on i don't know live that's a lot of pressure. Darling, every time we've recorded, you don't say anything bad. So I don't really mean. What do you mean? Well, I'm saying you're worried about what? Just live, innit? Oh, sorry. Live, innit?

Live. Live and direct. That's a lot. That's a lot of pressure. I just don't think it makes a difference. We can put the little camera on, sit together. You don't like live stuff, though. I'm happy to chat like we're chatting now.

Yeah. It's very, very different being myself. Very happy to go on Loose Women Live. Will it be interactive? No. Well, it will because their messages come up on a live Insta, so we can talk to people. Right.

They'll have questions for us. I think people might like that. Could you let me know? Yeah. 0778 20 1919. If you think that'd be a nice idea. It'd be funny when everyone says no. I know, they're like, no, Frank's not interested.

Oh, yeah, but we don't want them to want someone else. They don't want that. That's all right. At least I know. Yeah. Was that it? That was all. wasn't that lovely okay lovely yeah thanks babe love that who's this hi now i thought i'd do a separate one just saying about the shaving um and the waxing i had some years ago um a wax on me private bits and there were some

hairs left at the side shall we say and the girl decided that because the wax hadn't got them she would get the tweezers out and pluck them. Oh my god. What? It was so painful and I was too young and too stupid to say F off that really hurts. Oh no. Yeah, it wasn't the best experience of my life and I'm not quite sure how she got away with that really

or if you're even meant to do that. What do you think? Have you ever? Yeah, of course. Oh, you have? Yeah. What? What, pluck your hairs?

There's a few little left hairs knocking about. A few little? Yeah. Oh, right. Well, you've never plucked a hair from your vag? Maybe one. But she's saying that maybe there was quite a lot of plucking happening. Well, I suppose if it hasn't come off,

you don't want to make it more sore, I suppose, with an extra wax strip. Is that a thing? Because it's sensitive skin? But you've got hot wax now, so we're all good, aren't we? There you go. Times have changed. I don't know what that means.

You don't wax. You're weird. Neither do I. No, I have a laser. You're weird as well. Which I can't have, so. If you haven't had laser. I know.

I've got no hair. What do you mean? No. I've waxed so much. No, well, leave it. Start shaving for a little bit. No. Trust me when I tell you laser has changed my life. Then I've waxed so much. No, well, leave it. Start shaving for a little bit. No.

Trust me when I tell you, laser has changed my life. Then I've fallen pregnant, I've had to stop, and it's all ruined. What do you mean? Why is it ruined? Because obviously I hadn't finished my treatment,

so it's not like it used to be. It's very fine. Right. And once I go back, she might say, oh, you only need a couple or a few Is it good On my legs I can do it

It's It's changed my life Okay I need that then please Well I've told you Why are you asking her As if she's got a laser machine Or something No

She doesn't tell me I don't know Who is this person She's excellent She actually won a Won an award How much I'd have to come back to you but i will

give her a little shout out because honestly all right shout out and then i'll get discount and then i'll book happy day i can't actually remember hang on i think no but i'm quite interested as well to be honest we could all go yeah let's do it um we could pod on it she's called the cherry wood clinic okay and she's based in hartford and in amersham oh okay so honestly and she's just won an award for the i think it was like the the laser specialist of the laser removal laser technician of the year absolutely fantastic she is okay tattoo removal or just hair removal not sure i mean I mean, I guess the laser does. She always covers up my tattoo to make sure when she does my foot.

The laser removal kills on your tattoo. This is the other thing. It doesn't. Oh, fire alarm. Fire alarm. That's okay. Are we all good? Yeah, we're all good.

Everyone's downstairs. I'm sure they can deal with it. Everyone. They're just kids. No, I've left all the kids downstairs. Laura's down there. She's like a big kid. Everyone's downstairs I'm sure they can deal with it Everyone They're just kids No I've left all the kids Downstairs Laura's down there

She's like a big kid Well done Laura No But honestly It doesn't even hurt So her machine That gets squirts Out like a tiny bit

Of freezing cold water It's amazing Honestly And you know I'm not very good with pain Is it expensive? It's not I think

For three areas, £2.90 a session. Maybe you need like six to eight sessions. Oh, wow. So you're having the session every three months. Yeah, but that's like Botox. But after you've done that six sessions, you don't see her again.

It's a lot though, isn't it? No, it absolutely is. But I think in the grand scheme, if it's something. No, and then you're done. You've never got to buy a razor again. Correct. You've never got to buy a shaving foam again. You're not waxing.

If you think, if you go for a wax and spend possibly 60, 70 quid every four weeks, I don't know. Yeah, I bet in the long run. But then after you've done that treatment, I know people that don't go back. They go back for maybe one little top-up every two years. Okay. Or you just pluck a few out. All right. We'll have a look at it.

Yeah, sorry. Pluck it. Let's do it. Pluck it. Any good? Yeah, I got it. It gives a pluck. Hi, Nat.

It's Jodie from Middlesbrough here. I heard on the podcast that you want into hear stories of beauty disasters i stopped going to a beauticians because they used to be always overbooked i'm a redhead i have to get my eyebrows tinted regularly and i went in once and they sat me in the entrance i didn't go in a therapeutic treatment room or anything. They put the tint on my eyebrows and I said, look, it takes really quickly. You need to take it off.

She didn't listen. When she came back and took it off, she looked petrified. She had to tint them with a bit of grey after because they went far too dark. I was mortified. I never went back there. Love the podcast. Keep it up. Thanks.

The thing is, when you go into these beauticians, you kind of put in so much trust in people, sometimes for the first time and you've never met them. And you're putting the trust into someone to change your face. Does that not worry you?

No, but that's why they have to do, what do you call it? Skin test. Yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, consultations. Because I yeah all that stuff yeah consultations because I hate all that shit I haven't got time for it and I would just go straight in

oh what the consultation yeah it can't be our I've always got time to do all that I know but as a beautician but I was thinking on the beautician side can you imagine doing something

and fucking it up and being oh it's so really bad what do you do it's mortifying really bad but also if someone's warned you about the colouring of them and fucking it up and being like, what do you do? It's mortifying. Really bad. But also, if someone's warned you about the colouring of them and they know how they go, you should listen.

You'd hope, wouldn't you? Thanks for that. Thank you so much. Hi, Annette. It's Lizzie from Yorkshire. Loving the podcast. It's absolutely bloody brilliant and keeps me company when i'm doing the cleaning

just re getting your nails done can we just take a minute please to discuss the really long fingernail um of the man who does my nails he wants to put the polish on he likes to scrape the excess off my cuticle with his really long fingernail and it's just hideous does anybody else have this problem um because i always cringe when i go in to get my nails done and he beckons me over i oh God, it's the fingernail man. Perfect. Anyway, keep up the amazing podcast. It's the best one. It's so, so good and you are amazing. Lots of love.

Thank you, Lizzie. It's obviously a tool for them. However, old matey boy bashed out a good little bit of equipment the other day. Go on. No one's ever done that. What? When the gel's dry, that little bit

of, it's like a round disc that it goes all around the cuticle edge to neaten it all up. No, all the time. Does it for me? He ain't got a long nail. That's why he uses that. Oh, when they push back. Yeah, sorry I was just doing a work thing. No, I'm sorry. I've got to push back. Yeah, sorry, I was just doing a work thing. Wow.

No, I'm sorry. I've got to do it. I've got to do it. Sorry, I was semi-listening. I heard the long nail. I didn't realise it was used as a tool. It makes sense now to me. That's why they all have one.

And a lot of the nail technicians have a long finger now. I thought a lot of people had that when they took drugs. Sorry? Is that not true? I'm going to wet myself. Have I made that up? I've never. Have I made that up?

No, I know what you mean. Scooper. I don't know. I'm sure I've heard that. Or is that just where I've seen memes and things? What do you mean? I'm sure that's what, I don't know why. Our uncle had one

though. Do you remember he had one? No, he didn't take drugs, guys. Do you remember he had one? Have you been taking drugs? Did he work in a nail shop? No, he didn't work in a nail shop. Yes, we can hear you. Oh, gosh.

No, didn't he like to get like little, he was a welder. What's that got to do with anything? If you need to pick anything out, like a little screw. Oh, yeah. So he's using his nail as a screwdriver now. Wow.

They must have been strong. They didn't have gel jobs in the nail, did they? It is a common thing for that one little finger i'm googling it right you google it let's have a listen to charlotte hi now and that's nieces this is charlotte from wickford in essex um just regarding your beauty disasters i've just been listening to um one day when i'm too old I will write a book um I've been in the industry for 24 years and I've had some absolute corkers over the years um I worked um in a prestigious men's only salon um in London for 18 years um and lots of things happened there but one that sticks in my mind I used to do and i still do

all the back sack and crack waxes um part of the protocol before having a wax was coming in having a shower before we start the treatment one day one of my clients had come in supposedly had said shower when i get to the crack all I can say was there was a lump of poo his bum that was probably bigger than the size of a Maltese I know someone else had this that's disgusting to do I can say anything so I just went round it oh stop it loving the pod went round it I would have said get the fuck out of my

salon now Victoria did this many many years ago she had it with a woman a little nugget little nugget and as that started I was thinking

oh I better say Vic and she said the same story no how was she carried on get up you dirty bastard and go and clean your ass no i'd say i'm really really sorry she needs to go for a way because you're both gonna i haven't got some status you've just said you're gonna wet yourself because it's funny i won't be long okay what do

we do you can carry on if you like i've some brilliant... Thanks for telling everyone I've got... Sorry. That's okay. What's the issue? Oh, the door's locked. She's fuming. So Natalie, there's a door here that leads into the bathroom, but it's locked. She's actually going to piss herself.

Elia, that's vile. Yeah, you can't... I wouldn't... I couldn't do that. And sure, like, you're extra careful. Like, you know, you make sure... I mean, I find it mad that that lady had to make people shower prior to waxing because people don't shower prior to waxing. Yeah.

No, that's mind-blowing. Would that not be the first thing that you do? Yeah. Gross. Absolutely hideous. Anyway, this is interesting. Ellie is on her phone doing emails no i'm not now i've got some really good facts about the long fingernail no i'll wait for that because this is honestly we're spot on here and i'm so excited to share them with you why because they're brilliant

My throat feels a bit itchy I've got a headache every day So I'm having the best Oh I forgot to get your Penicillin Oh yeah thanks a lot Tringers the moon Well again

I think it could Very well be the moon Very well be I've got Kirstie Gallagher coming on soon. I'm so jealous. She won't let us come. No, because you know why?

I have to, that is a banked episode. I need to think of the future. I've got a busy few weeks coming up, so I need to bank stuff. And what I'm doing is wasting you two's time. I need, that's two episodes. I'm trying to meet her. Eh? I'm trying to meet her.

Oh, we'll keep in touch. we'll sort it out but she she's excellent isn't she i'm really looking forward to i'm not sure when yet guys but yeah she's going to come on what i'd like to understand and maybe you can just ask her is i find that the mercury retrograde really does affect me it has done in the past yeah this mercury retrograde has is been is significantly um impacting Aquarius correct which is me yeah however I'm not feeling any impact maybe because you're pregnant maybe so that's what I'd like to know do you think that is something to do with it maybe you could send me a voice note and I can use it on the pod you could just ask her no I know but it's nice to have the voice note

how do you so sorry? Is everything okay? Why is it Aquarius? Because it's the way the moon is with Aquarius. Come on, what does that mean for me? Well, you're not Aquarius. No, but my son or some bollocks might be in Aquarius. Hold on. Co-star.

Have you got co-star? What's co-star? Oh, my God. Co-star? I need to invite you. I'm not. Your sun is in Alfie or the sun? No, the sun. My moon is Capricorn.

I don't really get it. What does that mean? Could you invite me? Yeah. Thank you. Invite me. Can I just quickly touch on the pinky? Yes, absolutely.

Right, so there's a couple of points here. Yeah. One, symbol of wealth. Okay. This is specifically in men. Right. Two, good luck wealth. Okay. This is specifically in men. Right. Two, good luck. Unsure.

Three, it's a handy tool with a picture of somebody screwing in a nail. Oh! In fact, I'll screenshot that one. Four, a painter's aid. So, again, when we're going back to nail shops, but I like that because it gives a bit of basically the nail is... Texturising? No, not at all. It's created to keep your hand away from touching the canvas.

A guitar aid, not sure. Ear or nose picker. Ear, nose picker. And a sign of drug use. Oh, wow. We smashed it. We've covered all bases. What's it called? Family Fortunes. Oh, nose picker. And a sign of drug use. Oh, well. We smashed it. We've covered all bases. What's it called?

Family fortunes. Oh, we would have covered everything. We would have smashed that. Yeah, we would have had top points. Our survey said. We would have had the car and everything. So my moon is Capricorn. My sun is Cancer.

Yeah. Yeah, which is your moon. What's the ascendant? It's Scorpio, whatever that means. Yeah, so now you need to look at retrograde and see what it's impacting. But Aquarius isn't even on this. Because it's not relevant to you. Oh.

Can't have it all. No, I'm just, so what does the moon mean? For me, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah. So Aquarius is nothing to me. No. Never. Well, it might be, but it just might not affect you.

Listen, I don't know. That's why I'm getting Kirsty on. Because I really love the moon and I feel it affects me. Oh, you loved the moon the other night when it was the sun. I know nothing about it. Oh, the other night. Oh, that was funny, actually. What did she come out of?

Oh, my God, just look at the moon. It's just amazing. It was a full moon last night and tonight it's orange. No, it was the sun. It was the sun going down. While it's bright light outside. No, it wasn't. It was just amazing. It was a full moon last night and tonight it's orange. No, it was the sun going down. While it's bright and light outside. No, it wasn't. It was dusky.

It was dusky. Okay. But the sun was setting. And it's where the sun sets in your garden. I know. Do you know what? Every day. I had a really long day.

Really long day. Nice though. Long day. Yeah, it was a lovely day. No photos again. One photo. You put it up today Beautiful That was Eliza

Beautiful photo It was a nice day actually Although I feel like We've had no nice summer evenings Out there No we haven't We've had the summer evenings just not out there No we haven't

Very very rarely A few days All the days have been darker quicker the summer evening is just not out there. No, we haven't. Very, very rarely. Not really. A few days have hit. All the days have been darker quicker. No, they haven't. Yes, they have. The longest day of the year is the 21st of June. From that day, they start getting dark.

I appreciate that. But even prior to that, the weather hasn't been great. No, of course. So it was dark earlier. Yes. Yeah, because the sky is grey. Yes, Elia. No, no, no. But it's not getting darker earlier. But it's dark. Cloud Yes. Yeah, because the sky is grey. Yes, Elia. No, no, no.

But it's not getting darker earlier. But it's dark. Cloudy. No, it is. No, it is now. Yes, of course. Before June it wasn't. I'm telling you it was.

Well, it's not because the longest day. Maria is now changing history. Can you explain? Can you explain? No, I'm explaining to you. At eight o'clock at night, yeah, it wasn't bright sunshine. That's the weather. Yeah, so it makes it darker. Yeah. That's what I'm explaining to you. At eight o'clock at night, yeah, it wasn't bright sunshine. That's the weather. Yeah, so it makes it darker.

That's what I'm saying. Correct. However, the longest day is the 21st. I'm not talking about that. So the 20th, the 19th would have all been long. I'm not talking about that. I'm just saying. I don't remember one evening where it's been like 10 o'clock

and I'm like, oh my God, it's still light. You can sit outside and it's light. No, because the weather's been bad. Thank you. I understand. Right, I'm moving on. You can sit outside and it's light. No, because the weather's been bad. Thank you. I understand. Right, I'm moving on. I'm moving on. Hi, Nat.

It's just Claire calling. I really like your podcast and I just wanted to share a couple of beauty disasters. I listened to your podcast a couple of days ago with your nieces uh so my first one was um on my wedding day i went and had my hair and my makeup done at a hairdresser's oh and then i went further down the road to get my nails done i'd not been there before so i turned on the tie um fantastic hair do uh with a tiara and full face of makeup and it was about

half past nine in the morning and I sat down and the girl just looked at me and she just went are you doing anything nice today and I just sort of looked at her and I went

well yeah she was like right okay so she didn't ask what it was she didn't know I was getting married but she obviously thought

that I wandered around with a tiara on on a Saturday morning all the time. Could have had a wifey t-shirt on. And then the second one was when I'd had my second child and my mum bought me a gift at a beauty place for a massage and to get my nails done as well. And I'd worn this top that I'd worn during the early stages of my pregnancy.

And she'd been really nice when I'd worn this top that I'd worn during the early stages of my pregnancy. And she'd been really nice when I'd gone in and she sort of said, was I allergic to anything? And I said, no, not at all. And then got inside and she just started to massage me. And she says to me, so when is your baby due? And I was like, oh, I thought I was looking quite good after having the baby, but clearly I still look very pregnant. So that was a bit of a disaster. She was really embarrassed. I was really embarrassed. But I thought, was looking quite good after having the baby, but clearly I still looked very pregnant. So that was a bit of a disaster. She was really embarrassed. I was really embarrassed.

But I thought, it's fine. Went through to the next room to get my nails done, and it was the same woman, and she could not look at me. It was hilarious. So didn't go back there. But anyway, really enjoy your podcast. Keep doing what you're doing, and look forward to the next ones. Bye.

It's very awkward awkward isn't it awkward, also though she should have probably asked when she was due if she thought she was pregnant before she started massaging her well that's true pregnancy massage, yeah it's not great at all, I know but you don't get that on the tube loads don't you, where you see people

go to women, do you want my seat and people get really offended, oh yes yes I see what you mean, yeah it my seat? You don't sit. And people get really offended. Oh, yes, yes. I see what you mean. Yeah, it's hard. Just don't say anything. I'll just take the seat. I'd be like, yeah, four months.

You know, we have been talking about service and packages and stuff like that. I've got to read this out because this is a cracker. This is from Katie. Hi Nat, just bloody love your pods. Can't wait for the next ones. Just listen to the new one with the girls talking about having to send things back if they are damaged and not right. Totally agree.

Why should we spend time taking them back? I ordered a kebab once on a weeknight. Controversial, I know. Nothing wrong with that. But I ordered a doner in a naan with tomato sauce and mayo you're not on interesting sounds good sounds good when it arrived i tucked into it and it was chili sauce not my bag so i called them and i said i wanted them to deliver my correct order and they wanted me to send back the part-eaten kebab. I mean, what the actual...

Can you believe that? How are they sent? What, like driver's going to drop one and give back? Yes. What, they wanted it back? Yeah. That's fine. She's going to drop another one, take it.

Yeah, but what are you doing? Why? Well, are you reusing the chicken out of that or anything? No, you're just principal, innit? So they probably think they don't want to eat both of them or she might be pissing about giving the other one to her partner. Oh, I see. Yeah, but at the same time, if you've done it wrong, you've done it wrong.

Something happened in a coffee shop today where I was and I ordered a matcha oat vanilla latte. Oh, you're a wanker, aren't you? I know, but I do love it. They do a lovely matcha oat. A matcha oat extra hot, is that aren't you? I know, but I do love it. They do a lovely matcha. A matcha eats extra half of the soy bean, don't you?

I know, I know. You just do it with your cappuccino. No, I only do it in there. The matcha's really lovely in there.

It's not too earthy. What is the matcha? It's a butter. What is it? It's a powder and it's a bit of a superfood. It's really good for you. It's got lots of benefits.

It's like all the beans. No, I know, but I've never, like, I want to try it. My assistants love it. It's very earthy. Yeah. Kind of beet rooty. Yeah. So it's really good for you it's got lots of benefits it's like all the beans no I know but I've never like I want to try it but it's very earthy

yeah kind of beet rooty so it's not there's no coffee you have it you have it with your coffee with coffee there's a really cute

little place in Camden I forget what it's called but all the girls my girls go there they love it well anyway they do an absolutely banging one

where I'm talking about so it's coffee milk and this and a matcha powder so anyway it's really really good and i've had them a lot because i really like it and i have had some disgusting ones like leon i'm sorry their one is disgusting it's really really bad that is a weird old place no i like it i don't see yeah i like it people no i'm not love the food i don't like the waffles.

Well, who's having waffles? The little rice boxes with the chicken banging. I know, but you like all that. You like all that. She's so quirky. I know, she's just so hip. Well, says me with the brightest nails you've ever seen. Bratgirl Summer.

Brat Girl? What's her name? Charlie XCX. Right come on See it's good that I know that though. That is impressive I'm impressed. How do you know that? Just seen it all over Instagram I then got Eliza a vanilla latte

That's my girl and she put oat milk in the cup. I've not said a word. I'm watching. She's put oat milk into the ice cup, realised she's done it, got the carton of oat milk. Poured it back in. And poured it back in.

But it's had ice in it, this cup. And she's poured it back into the cup and then filled that with milk. I'm all right with that. What it's had ice in it this cup and she's poured it back into the cup and then filled that with milk i'm all right with that what with the ice in it yeah why but how long was it there for it wasn't there for long i just wondered your opinion because for me i don't think that's okay i'm all right with that but probably in a natural establishment i don't probably should just lob it away i think you should but also did she get another cup for no that's weird so you've got oat milk so that will have

a bit of residue what if Eliza had an allergy to oats yeah correct I'm just saying yeah

I'm just saying however lovely girl I didn't even say I was going to say something couldn't be bothered she went have a lovely day I hope they're alright

and I thought oh no I can't be bothered to even tell you about it no it's not that deep it's a bit weird but it's not that deep talking of picking up my... Yeah, it's a bit weird, but it's not that deep. Talking of picking up, sorry, just quickly, because that kebab story reminded me.

Did I tell you about the table? Oh, there we go. What now? I've never heard so much about a table. I nearly bought one of the tables, and I'm glad I didn't. What do you mean? Well, you know, when I was looking for a table, and I was saying, oh, I want to get a small one.

Do you want mine? No, not happening anymore. What? So, I had no problems a small one. Do you want mine? No, not happening anymore. What? So I had no problems with this table. No, great service delivering me a new pedestal. So the boys had to come over, I'd dismantle the table. Yeah. The guy comes to drop off the pedestal, fine, all good.

Lovely. Didn't take the damaged one. So now I have two. As I saw yesterday it's like a fucking furniture world that's annoying because what are you doing with that now now you've got to get rid of it I don't know any listeners

pedestal table without a top but someone could make the top fuck's sake so annoying so yeah that's annoying no see I would be on the phone and say you need to come and get the pedestal I can't it's so annoying. So yeah, that's annoying. No, see, I would be on the phone and say, you need to come and get the pedestal. I can't.

It's not your fault. They're not going to come and get it, are they? Well, I'm not sure about that. Maybe they've forgotten to take it. How do you forget? Oh, they've dropped it off. They're in a rush. They've got more deliveries to do.

I would definitely check. If you could use it, you wouldn't be saying anything, right? You'd be like, oh, happy days I've got. Yes. yes but it's an inconvenience you've now got to get rid of it mum's like use it as a side table a side table no it's quite large for a side table oh what about last night though what sonia sonia and Rhys. She's going down. Am I? Are you? Is she? Is she? Interesting. And your little face at your little engagement party.

Oh, she's such a little loser. She's so basic. That's cute. That's cute. Love her, though. I know, but she's annoying. Why? Because she just needs to man up a little bit.

But it's very large up that end. I can't have a little tiny light. No, it needs a big light, but it's very large up that end i can't have a little tiny light because no it is a big light but it's two different level yeah okay it's quite complicated be honest it's not easy no but you just get a very nice big feature lampshade there okay that's what we said and i feel like this thing i sent you you could then get a smaller version a bit different

Do you think tonight? No Well look at the hair I'm surprised you haven't commented. Oh, yeah. What is going on? What has happened? Oh, she looks like a 1970s punk. You know when they have a mullet at the top

and then the long hair? Calm down. What has happened? I had to wash it yesterday at the swimming pool. Oh, the swimming bath. Did you feel like you were in Motherland? Yes. I was in there right and when i was in the water every time the wave machine went on and some water went into my mouth i'd like to spit it out and be like oh i said to liza your flip-flops in the shower no yes of course

no the showers were outside oh like they've run up for me, I just, it's the other people. And like, if someone brushes past you. But also skin. Who's brushing past? Why are you touching me? It's busy, Elle. Yeah, when it's busy. Summer holidays.

I was very, very shocked at that choice of place to go. Why are you there? What do you mean? Just on their own? Yeah. But with no kids no but like young teenage maybe

yeah well they've got nothing to do all day it's good they're doing that rather than sitting in the park getting drunk is it hideous there oh or the pits

but the kids enjoyed it it was fun what was hilarious was when I saw me get there Eliza made me go there because it had rapids so we've queued we've got there we've queued up for the rapids.

And I could see the height things. I thought the kids are not going to be able to go on. But if they're with me, they might let them. No, they wouldn't let them on. So Eliza just looked at me. I was like, oh, sorry, Eliza. She was like, oh, it's fine. I'll go on on my own.

I said, okay, it's fine. She's gone on. She's come off. She went, it's so good you've got to do it. So then I've gone on on my own. And said, okay, it's fine. She's gone on. She's come off. She went, it's so good. You got to do it. So then I've gone on on my own. And you're talking about teenage. You have gone to take

your nearly five and three year old and you've gone on the rapids on your own. On my own. I would have loved to have seen that.

And do you know what? When you said you were going, I was thinking, I'm so gutted. Why can't I come and then realise I wouldn't be able to do it because

you could still have gone on the lazy river. Oh yeah, that would be fun so it was basically like aquasplash but smaller how good was aquasplash where was aquasplash

like Hemel Hempstead oh it was because it was called it was aquasplash but it had another name so that doesn't exist anymore what was the whole Yarmouth Park

you skating I don't know oh that place had loads surely there's somewhere closer to where I went I have to say

I went Colchester Well, yeah, maybe Is there anywhere nearer? Any other sort of water parks anyone can recommend? No, I don't think there is That would be handy I don't But it was small, but the kids did enjoy it

I have to say When I went to Centre Park I queued up and went round and round for the rapids like a child Yeah, they are so good Because I thought they were so good. Are they still as good as they used to be? Like when you're a kid and you think they're amazing. No, they were brilliant.

Even these were quite good, to be fair. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Aqua Splasher back in the day, I bet so many people will remember that. We used to do all our parties there. It was amazing. The slide, what are they called? The water slides, the tube ones, they weren't working yesterday. Oh, that's a shame. I mean, the kids wouldn't have, but Eliza. The bowl, do are they called? The water slides, the tube ones. They weren't working yesterday. Oh, that's a shame.

I mean, the kids wouldn't have, but Eliza. The bowl, do you remember the bowl? That's what I was telling Eliza about. Do you remember that? But when you used to fall in the bowl, you used to smash your head. Yeah, that's probably why they don't have them anymore. Natalie currently looks like a three-year-old.

She looks like Ruby downstairs that needs a wee. Should we just keep talking? Oh, Natalie. It's all right. All right, go doctors. I've got to go and get my hair done. You're? Oh, no. It's all right. All right, go doctors. I've got to go and get my hair done. You're going out for dinner.
