Welcome to Life with Nat.
Nat's niececes tonight.
Maria's here, Elsie's here.
Hi.
Very tired, Maria. Oh my God, I'm so tired.
Ask her why she's tired.
Well, I know why she's tired.
She was up till three o'clock in the morning, Sunday morning.
No, not, yeah, not, what's today?
Monday.
Yeah, Saturday night, Sunday morning.
And made me stay up with her.
Well, you did very well.
Thank you.
It was Elliot's baby shower on Saturday.
What a lovely day.
It was really lovely.
It was really, really nice.
Lovely.
Always say it's lovely.
It's so lovely.
I know, I do say lovely a lot.
You say lovely all the time.
But no, it was.
It was wonderful.
It was fabulous.
Beautiful.
No, it was. It was fabulous beautiful no it was it was really
really nice very lucky with the weather as well very until until when i decided i'm done
i'm going to bed i've begged everyone to go to bed they were making me try and stay up and i
managed to get jack to bed that sounds a bit rude you know i mean and uh we went to bed. That sounds a bit rude. You know what I mean? And we went to bed
and I laid down
and then it just all kicked off.
There was thunder,
lightning, rain
and then I couldn't go to sleep.
I passed out, I think.
Yeah.
After shouting,
being really loud.
We all stayed at mum's.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know what happened.
We were having a good chat.
Then Ruby woke up.
Oh, my God, I forgot.
She was crying.
Oh, what time was that?
And then the dog was barking because of the lightning.
No, this all happened as up my head hit the pillow.
Oh, you had to go down and get her milk, didn't you?
I was gutted.
Oh, there's nothing worse, is there?
When they wake up and you're just going to bed.
And she was not in a good way.
Yes, I was.
I was fine.
No, you weren't.
No, you weren't.
Well, yeah.
No, considering it was a long day, you weren't.
No, I didn't drink much.
It was just towards the end that I let loose.
Oh, God.
We were talking politics.
It's very, very interesting that you say that
because I feel like I can go for a whole day and not do a lot
and then get excited and overdo it at the end of the evening when there's no need to.
No, but also it's because we were sitting around the table.
Yes.
Chatting.
Oh, it was very civilised.
It was lovely.
We were having a debate.
We were talking about a lot of different things.
Should have podded it, wouldn't you?
I mean, no.
Things that I have no clue about.
They were trying to teach me politics is not my area.
It was quite educational.
It was.
I wish I remembered it.
Where was my brother at this point, your dad?
He'd been asleep on the sofa with Alfie.
Which was great because the music, it was getting a lot.
Taking a turn.
I had some great boogies, though, with Dave.
He was on form on Saturday.
He was, yep.
Really nice.
Mum gave in.
She cleaned the whole kitchen, top to bottom, bless her.
Shock.
I don't know how she does it.
She doesn't sit down.
It annoys her.
And then I feel bad because I feel like I should have helped her more.
I helped her a lot in the day.
I know, but you're the enjoying.
And then I enjoy it and then I take my eye off the helping.
And then, to be fair, Lisa helped her quite a bit.
That's the beauty, I guess, of being pregnant and not drinking.
Yeah.
But then I feel mum never sits down and just enjoys it.
I know, but when you're that way inclined,
she can't relax when it's like that.
I know, it's a shame.
But then, yeah, I get it.
She just wants to keep on top of it.
Also, somebody commented on a Nat's niece's photo, I think it was,
saying, just wanting to clarify,
it might have even been one of yours, Nat,
that was like, so Auntie Linny, who is that?
Just trying to clarify Tony, like the whole family tree.
Oh, really?
Maybe I'll do, you know, like in a history lesson,
when you get the Victorians,
I need to sketch it out and put everyone's pictures.
I feel like you might, yeah,
just you might want to clarify that one.
Yeah, because Auntie Linny is our mum, but she is not Tony's wife.
No.
That's Tony's sister-in-law.
You're yet to meet David, Maria and Elia's dad, but you will do in the future.
So, yeah, Aunty Linny is Natalie's sister-in-law.
Your mum.
Yeah.
Tony is my brother who lives down the road.
Maria and Elia's uncle is Tony, my brother.
I mean, it is all a little bit odd because of the ages.
Yeah, it is confusing.
People still say cousins.
Oh, yeah, everyone.
Sisters.
Is it Natalie that's your cousin?
No.
But even for me, I feel like the girls should be my nieces.
Yes.
Not my cousins.
Well, people always say, oh, go and ask Auntie Elia.
They forget.
It's not that.
And then, yeah, and then our children, well, my kids,
and then obviously El's baby Murphy.
Well, they're my nieces.
I feel like they're my nieces' nephews.
But you're my niece.
Yeah, and then they're second cousins with Eliza and Joanie.
Which is ridiculous.
Weird.
Weird, but yeah.
Listen, we can just make up our own
we know what we mean
to each other
it doesn't really matter
oh absolutely
did you enjoy it Els?
yes it was really lovely
did you like your balloons?
balloons were amazing
weren't they lovely?
what was that gloss
they put on?
yeah I don't know
they sort of
they spray it
just to elevate it
a little bit
yeah but they still
weren't like super shiny
they still had like a matte
but very good
very talented
they were absolutely
lovely and the girls
were so nice
they're lovely
it's a mother and
daughter Gemma and
her mum they were
absolutely amazing
and that is at
Softies play and
party they were
brilliant
they're mother and
daughter aren't they
yeah
they're just so sweet
and her mum's had
like a really big
back operation
not so long ago
and she's back at it at work.
And they're not being funny.
It's quite a manual job, isn't it?
Yeah, but they were there for ages, weren't they?
Setting it all up.
I just love the attention to detail.
Yeah, because you said obviously Maria has obviously planned it all
and organised it and done everything to perfection.
Thanks.
But the invites and and she had matched
the font
on the sign
and I said to Gemma
if you can't do it I know it's just a thought
she was like no I'll do it she did it
I said to her for Alfie's I was like
did you have to buy the Batman backdrop
she said yeah I bought it but we'll use it again
she said you know we'll probably have an influx of Batman parties now.
But nothing is too much trouble.
No, really lovely people.
And they do a really good job.
So, yeah, thank you, girlies.
Yeah, no, really, really kind of you.
Thank you.
Food was excellent.
Yeah, food was, well, food, everyone.
I have to say, if I heard Maria mention the fish finger roll once.
Can I say?
Jesus Christ. That was next level. What? I didn't mention the fish finger roll once can I say Jesus Christ
that was next level
I didn't have a fish finger roll
you missed out big time
brioche bun
put the sriracha mayo on it
life changing though
I might have to ask Alex
I'm going to get as I say to Alex come and make me some
please they were really good
I had two
really nice calamari I had two. I had two of them.
Banging.
Really nice.
Calamari.
I had two pots of that.
Excellent.
I've got to say, I've not had a calamari like that in a really good, very light.
Nobody said salty.
Yeah, banging.
But a good salty.
Really, really good.
Not too greasy, was it?
No.
Mm-mm.
Very, very nice.
Salad's delicious.
And a lot of it come out.
So much food.
It just kept coming. No, it was great. At first, I was a lot of it come out. So much food. It just kept coming.
No, it was great.
At first, I was a bit freaking out a bit because I thought, oh, is that it?
I know you said that.
I was like, oh, God, is that it?
Because they lay it all out, don't they?
Presentation and then obviously they'll just...
And it did look little, to be fair.
Yeah.
But they...
And also, they're cooking it.
It's all fresh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So everything's then not sat there getting cold.
Very, very good.
Very good.
Yeah, food was good.
Lots of people said the food was amazing.
It was lovely.
It was lovely.
And yeah, good company and lovely.
No, it was a really nice day.
It was just a long day.
And I just can't believe you sat there until 3am not drinking.
You did really well.
It's crazy, isn't it?
Yeah, it's mad.
But although the next day what is mad is feeling, I do feel shattered, but not having a hangover so good because you don't
feel half as bad you don't it's really really good so yeah i was very grateful it is the way
forward lovely to have a bit of a night out my view but i'm not i feel like i'm yeah but it's
the late nights the drink it's not i know it is the drink but I can have a good drink If I go to bed
At a sensible time
Fine
But it's that
Three in the morning
Yeah
Those
You can't
Or you stay up
And don't drink
Either or
Can't do both
No I'm not doing that
I did
You can't do both
It's different
It was your
My day
Party
I just didn't want to go to bed
Without Jack
Because I knew he'd come up
Be banging Crashing and wake me up.
And we probably would have stayed up till God knows what time.
Yeah, and Mum was like, please make sure the lights go out.
Of course.
So, yeah, take a little duster up.
Just do the bonester as you go up the stairs.
Well, I'll tell you something, girls.
We've had so much correspondence for our episodes.
Have a little listen to these and see what you think.
Here we go.
Hi, Nat.
It's Anita from Norfolk here.
Just wanted to pop on and tell you about the customer service that I witnessed in Self-Reduce in London last week.
I was visiting with a friend and her little girl.
We were on the toy department and oh my goodness i thought about you
and the conversations that you'd had with your husband over bad customer service this was a
middle-aged lady um serving in a toy department she didn't ask if she could help she literally
beckoned the customers forward um snatched these toys out of the customer's hands um in fact she didn't utter
a word to the customers no please no thank yous just shoved the card machine in front of them
wow in fact the only word that she did say was shit um because she bagged up the teal
so yeah terrible customer services um and i was completely shocked that this was happening in such a massive place as well.
Prestigious.
Somewhere that you would think you'd get fantastic customer services.
So, yeah, be interested to know if anyone else spotted this lady or had been even served by her.
Yeah, horrendous customer services.
Right.
Firstly, it's customer service. Services. Service, not customer services right firstly sorry customer service services service not customer
services i say things wrong it's all good i was just gonna say however turned selfridges let's be
honest we frequent a lot and you've told me els that the last couple of times you've been in, you feel it's got better because I have to say,
from my experience of Selfridges in the last two years, it is dog shit.
No, there was one time that I went in and I thought it was better
than some of the times that we have gone and it was terrible.
I mean, there were times
where there were no staff.
You're in the ladies wear
and you're looking around
and you want to just talk
to someone about a size
or genuinely you can't find
a staff member.
They are so busy
and they don't,
I mean,
everyone needs to have
a good customer service
but I guess they get away with it
because people just go in there
and spend money.
What about Zara?
Oh, I've never, ever, ever been served in Zara by anyone.
You just have to walk around and make the best of it.
I mean, it's that place blows my brains.
What do you think of the self-service?
That's what I was just thinking.
Yeah, H&M.
Oh, my God.
If I wanted to do that, I'd work in a shop.
I don't get it.
The Zara one
That me and Natalie
Went to
Was it Christmas
Oh my god
And you've got to
Take the tags off yourself
And everything
I'm like
What is going on
I don't want to do that
I'm going to damage your clothes
Something I bought
Then when I went
To put it in the bag
It had a mark on it
So I said
Right I'm just
I'm telling you
I'm going to swap this
No no you need to do a return
But I have to do it I said no no I said I'm going I'm telling you, I'm going to swap this. No, no, you need to do a return.
But I have to do it.
I said, no, no.
I said, I'm going.
I'm going to pick up the thing.
You can't do that because it will show its different product code.
But then you want me to do everything because your thing is actually now faulty.
I've got to deal with that.
And why are there so many stains on Zara clothes?
Because I find that story's absolutely shocking for it.
People trying it on, that.
I know, but you don't really get that in other places, I feel.
You can't even ask a shop assistant in Zara.
They hate working there.
They must hate working there.
I've never seen a happy Zara.
If you work in Zara and you're happy working there,
could you let us know?
077 88 20 19 19.
Or maybe a family member and you think they love it in there because i i'm bamboozled by it it's just funny how it's got a bit of a name for itself because everyone says the same thing yeah it's interesting isn't
it but because people like zara clothes they get away with it exactly and i can imagine it's
don't get me wrong it's chaotic isn't it It can't be the most pleasurable place to work.
I see it.
People drop clothes off the hangers.
They leave it on the floor.
They don't pick it up.
They throw stuff.
They constantly have to go around, fold up all day long.
But I mean, yes, guess what you sign up for?
Yeah, of course, of course.
But going back to the self-service of clothes stores, though,
why are we so against that when we've kind of got used to the food shopping?
Because I suppose it's really...
Because it's just meant to be like a nice experience.
Clothes, it makes you feel good.
Shopping's a bit different, like food shopping,
sometimes you're in and out.
I mean, it's the same as online, isn't it, now with clothes?
Sometimes the way it comes, it's all scrunched up in a bag,
try it on, it looks like a piece of shit.
The orders last week.
I have the money I've spent on next day delivery.
Have you?
One of them being the same website, two in one day,
because of a dress for this baby shower.
Two lots of six pounds in one day for the same site that all of the
dresses went back and then you have to pay to return it yeah asos are doing that now as well
what if you're a serial returner you will be charged really well i'm not so i recharge you
don't they yeah they just knock off a little it's not much it's 3 quid I think
2.95
yeah but where you're
used to
well I personally
order everything on
ASOS
where I'm used to
it being free
being free
and I'm spending
£6 on next day
delivery
then £2
each parcel
I've done about
50 quid last week
I'm furious
however you did
look lovely
thank you
I got there in the end
where was that from
that was Boohoo
Okay
It was really nice
No, I mean, I struggled big time
I mean, I chuck out express deliveries
That's my own fault
I don't even think about it
Which is really, really bad
I'm one of those that will spend more
To just not get it
I can't bear it
I don't know why
I hope so
It's like over £75 Yes, I'm like, I should buy something else I ain't got why I hate that It's like over £75
Yeah so I'm like
I should buy something else
I ain't got paper delivery
But you've probably spent
£22 when you could have
Spent £6.99
Yes
Absolutely
I do get that
I do get that
It's just the mentality
I did that the other day
On M&S
I did the same thing
I get it though
Why are you doing
Online shopping
When we've got
Brookfield up the road
Because they don't do
The maternity knickers
In store
Oh fair dues Banging though B banging no banging the best right up underneath
they don't do them in store so i was ordering i didn't buy any maternity stuff i have still got
a pair of right up underneath the boob black knickers which are so old and i still put them
on when i'm on my period. Lovely.

Talking of customer service.
Yeah. No. What's that? to get started. Talking of customer service.
Yeah.
No.
What's happened? You're not going to believe.
Oh, here we go.
The next saga.
It's not this table again.
No, because honestly,
all we're going to do
is repeat ourselves tonight.
I hope we've got to keep it fresh
back to the table.
I was just going to say,
this is going to become as boring
as talking about lights.
Go on.
The fucking pedestal
is still sitting in my porch.
Oh, I can't.
And I was with mum
when she got the call
or she had to call the delivery.
Well, I suggest
you turn around
and we're in M&S car park
and she's shouting.
Who is her?
No, mum.
Oh, your mum.
So I've heard them
have an argument about it.
Then she's called them.
Well, I suggest
if you're still, are you still local?
And I'm like, mum, shut up.
And then I think she got nice.
She was like, well, look, you know, please.
My daughter's had to go and get her daughter.
So if you, you know, if you could really kindly just turn around.
Passag.
Pure Passag.
No.
So, no.
Three hour time slot That's fine
I'm working from home
It's not a problem is it
And they are good
This company
That do the deliveries
Because they give you
The time slot
Then they'll let you know
When they're
X amount of time away
Who's this
We can mention them
I don't know
B
B
Oh don't worry
BJS
BJS
BJS Sounds weird I never heard of. BJS. BJS. BJS.
Sounds weird.
I never heard of them.
BJS Home Delivery.
Okay.
Okay.
So...
BJS Home Delivery.
That's what...
I don't know.
BJS Home Delivery Service.
It reminded me of something like The Simpsons or something.
Yes, didn't it?
You sound weird.
Go on.
So he calls me.
He said, Madam, I'm going to be with you at about...
No, I got a text, beg your pardon.
So I was like, oh, damn it.
I've got to go and pick Ruby up at half twelve.
I mean, you couldn't make it up.
I'm in all day, but I've got to go and get her from school.
Anyway, I call him, mobile number.
He answers.
He said, I'll be about 45 minutes.
I said, I've got to go and get my daughter from school.
It is five minutes up the road.
Please, please don't leave.
I will be five minutes.
No problem, madam.
And as I'm driving back home into my road,
it didn't even say the delivery thing on it,
because otherwise I would have said.
You just knew.
But I just knew it was him.
You should have stopped him in the road.
And I wish I did, but I thought, surely not.
Natalie did that for me.
Then a random DPD man, she said, excuse me.
I was in the middle of the high street.
She went, please, I know this is a ball lake,
but if you're at home, there's a delivery coming.
I said, I'll pop round.
I've seen this van.
I've stopped the traffic. There are people behind me. I've gone, beep, beep, beep. He said, I'll pop round. I've seen this van. I've stopped the traffic.
There are people behind me.
I've gone, beep, beep, beep.
He's pulled over, bless him.
He's like, what number?
What number?
I said, it's really urgent.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Company.
It weren't even there.
Yeah, they hadn't even been yet.
It was like, that was DPD.
No, but I remember doing that with DPD, though.
And I remember driving to Hoddesdon to meet the delivery man to get the package.
Wow.
But you can do that.
How did I contact him?
So sorry.
So he said yes, Madda.
He said yes, no problem.
And he's not waited.
And he's not waited.
Ten minutes, not even.
And I called him and he didn't answer.
Well.
So now it's coming. they're coming back next Monday
they do have a lot to get through these delivery people
I feel like we forget
it's quite a stressful job I think
and if everyone said to him just wait 10 minutes
and then it's not 10 minutes
he wouldn't get it done
he'd end up like Becky
it'd be 10 to 10 to 10 minutes to 10 minutes
and his last delivery that was meant to be at 8
would be half past 9.
She has had so much stick from us recently.
Because she's late for a very important date.
I don't feel like we've given her any stick.
No, we have.
And her baby shower, bless her, we have rinsed her.
Oh, we haven't rinsed her on the pod yet, so you're late all the time.
See you, Lil.
She's so late.
I wonder how late her baby's going to be
I reckon not as late as her
I reckon
I think she's going to go probably
12 days over
She wants to be, she's quite hoping
She's got a lot to do, bless her
She looks blooming, can I just say
And I feel like she still looks quite small
I think she's got a bit of a time
I don't think it's going to be her in a fortnight
I think she'll be pleased because she needs to come and do my hair.
I was going to say, we can get a couple more blow dryers in.
Happy days.
I was like, Bex, so when are you actually finishing?
She was like, next Wednesday is going to be my official last.
I said, but what about for me?
Because I need a blow dryer Friday.
She was like, yes.
When?
This Friday.
No, she didn't say that, guys.
Anyone that uses her, she's not doing any
more blow dries. This Friday.
Okay. I've got her in Wednesday, I think.
I just have her every six weeks
for a cut and colour and I thought, this is where it's at perfect.
And I was looking at the weeks and I thought
with the baby it'll be three and a half weeks out.
Yeah, I mean, I can't, I'm trying not to think about
what's going to happen when this baby arrives.
But this is the thing with her, she's like, just don't worry, we'll make it work.
She's very chilled out.
She'll sort it out.
It'll be fine.
But yeah, if she's late now.
If she's come home to us when we've had newborn babies, Maria,
and she's been feeding and holding it while we get in the shower,
we'll just be feeding and holding the baby while she does our nut.
It's no problem.
It's true.
But if she's late now,
imagine what she's going to be like when she's got to bring a newborn baby with her.
All the best. It'll be fine etv but no we love you really bad it's hot in here and we do love you
here we do it is warm listen it's on the turn now we're in the we're in the burr months hang on can
we talk about that sorry i shared that what where's that from yeah but everyone's saying it
but everyone's saying it's because i shared saying it. It's because I shared it.
I know.
What do you mean?
It's not because you shared it that the world is talking about it.
But I'm saying I've never heard that before this year.
But that is true.
Yeah.
I know, but it's really horrible.
I don't like it.
I don't know why it aggravates me.
I want your face out.
What Burr?
We're in the Burr months.
Oh, it's pathetic.
However, I did buy the kids
Some Halloween pyjamas today

That's why I bought the new cameras.
Can I just say one thing?
You were saying about Burr
and I understand all this
Brat Summer and stuff.
But what's very demure?
What's that?
Very mindful. Very mindful. I don't understand it. Very demure what's that very mindful
very mindful
I don't understand
it
have I missed something
that's it
yes
it's a video
and Eliza says it
and then she nearly
had a heart attack
at the baby shower
because Kate and Ellie
were doing it
and they were all
doing it together
and Eliza was really
felt really cool
because she knew it
how does she know
how does she see
she don't have
all those social media platforms.
All her friends do.
It's just a thing that someone's done on TikTok and now it's gone viral.
I've not seen it at all.
Wow, you're nothing to know.
I've not either.
So what does it mean to be very demure?
Well, demure itself, the actual meaning of demure is classy.
Yeah, ladylike.
Ladylike, sophisticated of demure is classy ladylike ladylike sophisticated demure so you'd
wear a lovely evening dress you'd look classy exactly what we are not not demure mindful
cutesy okay good thank you i just yeah i didn't know if i'd missed something exactly it's lined
up for you why did you talk about that?
I'm not sure.
What did you... Oh, because she said about the burr and where does that come from.
I just don't get the burr.
September.
I said it last year and I'm going to say it again.
If I see one more sketch of what you should do for the autumn,
go on an autumn walk, crunch the leaves, have a slow morning.
I do love a leaf crunch.
No, I do, but it's just a bit i love the autumn get
your psl i just said i love the autumn by the way yeah the autumn yeah okay no psl pumpkin spice
latte exactly i could see it now what at Christmas a toffee nut latte.
Crochet a pumpkin.
Crochet a pumpkin.
Read an autumnal book.
Wrap up.
Put your boots on.
Go for two hours.
Oh, it'd be funny if you could see
the face on it.
This is why we need videos.
I know, but the problem is
all those things are great.
She's going from matcha
to latte
to gingerbread.
But all of those things
are...
A latte, matcha
to pumpkins and gingerbread. But all of those things are... Latte, matcha, pumpkins, gingerbread.
All of those things, of course, are really nice.
But when I see nine of them with a tick list of what to do,
I'm never going to do them.
No.
So it stresses me out.
Pressure.
Yeah, pressure on people.
It's not fun.
It's not nice.
Because I think, I'm telling you, over the next two months,
I'll probably do one of those things.
I'd love to do 12 of them.
I'd love to do 12, but what c*** has got time?
She's on one.
That was good.
Who's rattled your cage, Miss Cassidy?
However, I'm glad to see the back of summer, what little summer we had.
I'm f***ing stuck over it.
See you later, summer.
Bye-bye now.
At least we can just get on with our lives.
Just get on with the best stuff.
I did, when I walked in here, I said,
I am looking forward to one of those Saturday nights in.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Watching TV, nice glass of wine.
Do you know what I've made today?
I've made a chicken stew.
What?
It's been raining.
I feel ill.
I need some goodness.
It's September.
Right.
What have we put in the stew?
Leeks, parsnips, carrots, chicken, stock,
Jack's doing the dumplings.
Oh, you're having it tonight?
Yes. That is mental. Sorry, I'm confused. Chicken Stock Jack's doing the dumplings Oh what you're having it tonight? Yes
That is mental
Sorry I'm confused
It's
It's the second Monday in September
I know
But we both feel a bit run down
We both wanted loads of vegetables
Something to warm the cockles up
Perfect
And I'm so excited
It's not cold
Couple of little dumplings
Having some dumplings
But you know when you feel like
You just feel a bit
ugh
it's like
I was going to do
pastina
I was going to say
why didn't you do pastina
well because I could
get it on earlier
let's get it on
because I was
coming here
it's on
it's done
now I'm excited
for the one pot
so I'm here for that
well Poppy
who I had on
excuse me
Poppy
who I had on the pod
it's got a new book out
no no
I know I'm plugging it
but I'm looking forward to seeing it
no you just said that sentence
all like
it was one word
it was freaky
freaky
but she has a slow cooker book
but she's quite good
her recipes
nice
I don't know
I did her potatoes the other day
good didn't they
like the proper roast
how you said
I did them yesterday
is it good
with the oil
and I have to say
and I left them really big they come out it. I did them yesterday. Is it good? With the oil, and I have to say, and I left them really big.
They come out fantastic.
I did them yesterday.
They were brilliant.
So sorry.
What are you showing me now?
Yeah.
Tag me.
I'm sweating.
It's sweating.
So you're telling me, my ninja, I've never really used a slow cooker.
Okay.
Don't talk to me because I've got one.
You bought it for me and I absolutely love it.
No, yours is an air fryer.
Forget it.
You haven't got one.
Oh, sorry.
So what happens, Elle?
I can leave that on all day.
Is that what you're telling me?
Yeah.
It's mad.
I've got a slow cooker.
An old fashioned five litre pot.
Yeah.
And you leave it on all day.
I need to do something.
One thing I'm going to say about a slow cooker.
Girl, too much juice.
No, I would just like someone to help me with it.
Whatever I were to cook in a slow cooker
doesn't really have any flavour.
For me, I don't think it's the lack of flavour.
I think things don't thicken.
Yes, that's it.
So if I'm doing like a chilli, I can't.
That stresses me out.
I just like my Le Creuset and do it on a day when you're working from home.
I know.
I know.
I get the slow cooker, but I have to say.
I get it.
I've done things like slow cooked, like pork, and that's very good.
Right.
I did.
I once did a brisket of beef in the old house.
And I put it on.
And it was for, I think it was eight hours.
But I'd had it on the high setting.
It was cremated.
Black.
Crispy.
Imagine an aromatic duck, but dead, cremmated dead that's what it was like
so yeah i've just never got on with them but you know what it's all cleaned actually i've
dusted it off it's in granddad's kitchen and i might have a go i would like to i don't i
yeah i don't think the slow cooker's for me i agree with ellia i remember trying to do a stew
and it was just so watery but why would you did, did you go to work? Is that why? No, I just wanted to use it.
Yeah.
No point.
I think we need to go back to it and I think we should look at Poppy's book.
Okay.
What does she do, slow cooker stuff?
It's her new book.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
She's done it all.
Her new one out.
We could do a live or something.
Do you remember the lives?
All day slow cooker.
What, are you just staring at it?
Give it a stir.
Three hours in.
How you doing, girls?
Just looking at the slow cooker, ain't I?
Sarah said, hey now, I've just been listening to your recent episode with your nieces
and came here to say if you do end up doing a live session,
can you do it either in the morning or early afternoon
so us listeners from down under can watch oh love listening to the three of you you've got such a
lovely bond love sarah oh yeah morning weekend morning maybe possibly or it's fine i mean
asking a lot it's a lot isn't it when you work and stuff Well it is when 91% of my listeners are in the UK
No we can
We can try and make it work
But then there wouldn't be a lot of people
That would be able to listen to it in the UK
Because they'd hopefully maybe be at work
Or busy at the weekend
Or asleep
Yeah
I'm not sure that's going to work
But when you do a live you can save them
You can save them Yeah
You can just post them
So it's not really a big deal
Whatever you want to do
So don't worry about it
It's all good
I might be in labour
When you do the live
Yeah I'm hoping for some
Voicemails tonight
We'll FaceTime you
What
Are you going to do
A Halloween party
For God's sake
Joanie's really not into Halloween.
Oh, she hates it.
She went,
I do not want to go
trick or treating.
She doesn't want to do
any of it.
She doesn't want
the decorations up.
However, last week
that changed.
Oh, okay.
She said,
actually, I'm coming
around to the idea
of maybe getting
the decorations up.
So I think it might
change with time.
I need to get some decor.
Oh, they had some
lovely little pumpkins
in Home Sense.
Did they? I've got quite a lot
of stuff actually i need to get it all out and have a look do you know what i find with those
things because i picked two things up to put on the doorstep because i thought i'm not going to
have much time but at least if i've got something i like for the kids yeah in the in the area of
course yeah where do you then store those what's the problem like a clear box in the garage i've
got two boxes but it's just i've got two things boxes. But it's just, I've got two things.
You bought me like a rabbit for Easter.
I did.
One rabbit.
What do I do with that all year round?
I want to throw it in the bin.
It gets on my nerves.
That's really rude, actually.
No, but do you get what I mean?
Yeah, but I think I've got some crocheted pumpkins.
They're beautiful.
Yeah.
But you're not putting them on your doorstep, are you?
No, I'm not.
I sometimes put them in the window. Yeah, lovely. But again, yeah, they're all in them on your doorstep are you no I'm not sometimes put them
in the window
yeah
lovely
but again
yeah they're all
in a box
in the loft
and stuff
yeah
I mean
I get
my favourite
one I think
yeah my
favourite
I think I'm
getting ill
yeah
you're not
feeling well
now
my throat
hurts
I think it's
the dam
I've got to
go out
on Thursday
you'll be
alright
you'll be
fine
stop moaning about stuff it's good to go out I'm. You'll be all right. You'll be fine. Stop moaning about stuff.
It's good to go out.
It's good.
You're not ill.
I'm exhausted.
You're just tired.
You've done it to yourself.
You'll be fine in a couple of days.
I just would like a quiet weekend.
Have you got a quiet weekend coming up?
No.
Oh, we've got Amelia's birthday.
Yes.
Correct.
But that will be quiet.
That's quiet.
Yeah, it's a day thing.
You haven't got to get drunk.
Who said?
No. I'm going to drive. Yeah, nice. a day thing. You haven't got to get drunk. Who said? No, I'm going to drive.
Yeah, nice.
This is really random.
I'll message you lot.
I want to talk about number plates.
Okay.
New subject, people, coming up.
Thrilling.
I'm intrigued because I'm very good with number plates.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Like, no, I have like a weird thing where I remember people's number plates. What does that mean? What does that mean? Like, I, no, I have like a weird thing
where I remember
people's number plates.
Right.
But not necessarily,
like I will know,
I don't know,
I just know,
like my neighbours,
for example,
I will know
if I've driven past
one of my neighbours.
That's weird.
I just really,
but I do,
I'm the same with postcodes.
Anyone will know
that used to work with me.
I'm very,
very good with postcodes.
Do you like, when you get a new car new car your number plate do you try and make it fit with like you
sorry no what do you mean like the initials and stuff you try and make it to be like
oh so that's something to do with me no no there's i mean when you buy a car they do say
about like oh this these are really good letters
Right exactly
I don't know why
For me
Why is that?
All letters
Why are you discriminating other letters?
No because
All I keep thinking about
Is when I get my new car
Yeah
I really hope it's got a good number plate
Why do I care?
I don't know
But yours ain't great now
So what's the problem?
What?
But it's like you
No you don't want to read it out
No I'm not reading it out
I don't mind my number plate I'm No, I'm not reading it out.
I don't mind my number plate. I'm not saying that you...
I'm just saying it's a number plate.
No, I know, but I feel like this is my point.
This is going to be my point.
If you let me finish, I can't stand private number plates.
I don't get it.
Why do you want people to know where you are all the time?
Number two, I...
Well, unless you're me, I'll know where you are
because I know everyone's number plate.
Well, yeah, but... I had a private number plate private number plate yes you know he bought me one for my birthday
yeah what a weird thing why do we do that and where is it i just don't really know what's
happened to that no and it all should have been packed like retention yeah no it's gone finished
so i and sometimes i can live with the initials or, you know, trying to do something like that. But what about when people try and make a name without letters and numbers and the dots?
And it doesn't even.
Yeah, that's bad.
Annoying, isn't it?
Agreed.
But is that still a big thing?
Yes.
Because I feel like years ago it was more popular.
It was calmed down, I think.
But that's driving.
I think people are more aware of privacy and, you know, people know.
I think 15, 20 years ago it was a massive thing.
I was doing a thing in my head that's what made me laugh
and I thought I'll have to talk to you about it because I was driving
and I saw one of these dopey number plates and I thought,
you silly Billy, it's not even, you're trying to make your name
and it's not working.
So that made me laugh.
Then I thought about it and then I thought,
but I am worried about my number plate.
To a degree.
Now we're talking about it and we're opening it up.
I really hate my number plate at the moment.
Why?
I just don't like the letters.
Oh, is there a K in there?
No, what's wrong with K?
You're very random this evening Els
I know
it's the hormones
but I don't think
we've got long
to go here
no just K's a bit
K's a bit shit
yeah
I haven't got a K
maybe Jack's the one
with the K
mine's just a bit
bleep this out
Em bleep this out
gross
shit
no so I was going
when I was looking
at buying a car
outright
there was one
and it was
a bit like
ro-ro
oh
and I was like
oh that should be my car
it's not
I didn't buy it
but yeah
the only time you can have
one of those
like a personalised number plate
is if you have like
one
you know
just like one of those
yeah you know what you see
like a 1G yeah what's um
alan alan sugar alan one no like a whatever you see it driving about you think that's excellent
you see him driving around where he's in loughton way well you see him driving around i have seen
him in his bentley or whatever it is rolls and it, and it's AMS1, I'm sure.
Amstrad or whatever he did.
What about when Ronnie Wood, was it Ronnie Wood?
What, went to?
The Greek, in where?
The village to Verna.
Right.
No, I'm not convinced, to be honest.
You're not?
Not convinced.
Oh, Jamie Balfour's family member.
Ah.
He's on Strictly, isn't he?
Jamie's doing Strictly.
Ronnie Wood as well?
What?
Ronnie O'Sullivan and Ronnie Wood.
Oh, hang on.
I knew she was confused.
Emma, leave that in.
Ronnie Wood as in the Rolling Stones?
Ronnie Wood.
I thought you meant Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Yeah, I thought you did. That's why when you said Jamie, I'm thinking. I thought you meant Ronnie O'Sullivan. Yeah, I thought you did.
That's why when you said Jamie, I'm thinking, no, that's Ronnie O'Sullivan.
I thought she'd never said that before.
Huh?
Why would she never told her?
We would know if Ronnie Wood was his...
Ronnie Wood.
Oh, my God, that's hilarious.
Where is a historical nice town in a nice place?
Why would he not be there?
Who?
Ronnie O'Sullivan or? Or Ronnie Mee?
Any Ronnie to be honest.
Well he was there apparently.
He was there.
Ronnie Mee do.
I did a really good deed
the other day.
You always do good deeds.
I went to
Sainsbury's to do my
The old boy.
Yeah.
Go on then.
I went to Sainsbury's to do my shop. Picked. Yeah. Go on then. I went to Sainsbury's to do my shop.
Yeah.
Picked up some Prosecco for the baby shower.
Couldn't carry it.
Asked someone to do it for me.
Do my scanning shop.
This old boy stopped me and made like a bit of a joke.
And we were chatting for ages, for like 15 minutes.
He was the nicest man.
And he was telling me all about his life.
And he sort of gave my tummy a little rub.
And he said, I wish you all the best.
Did he?
At the end,
he went,
like just a little,
he said,
I wish you and the baby all the best.
I was,
honestly,
I walked away,
I wanted to cry.
Went,
paid,
got in the car,
drove off
and then realised I didn't pay for the Prosecco
and I,
my heart just sunk,
the whole case,
so six bottles.
Oh wow.
Every day. It wasn't, it wasn't loads, they were like, it was still, so six bottles. Oh, wow. Every day.
It wasn't loads.
They were like, it was still, you know, I thought I can't do this.
So I turned around, I went back, went in, went to the till, told, explained.
She was like, don't worry.
I was all like in a fluster.
And I said, I've got, I need to pay for it, please.
And they'd done it.
And they were like, thank you so much for your honesty.
Karma.
No one ever, no one ever does, you know. No, they wouldn't, would they? Good karma. so much for your honesty karma no one ever no one ever does you know
no they wouldn't
would they
good karma
I went back
I was really proud
of myself
I'm really proud
of myself
for not being a thief
no well I didn't
I got distracted
because he put
some people
I put it in my trolley
some people would
get the ump
with him touching
your belly
I was just
do you know that
I was going to
bring that up
I mean I would
I've never had a problem
with that but some people get really funny a few people have like gone to do it and was just, do you know that I was going to bring that up? I mean, I've never had a problem with that, but some people get really funny.
A few people have gone to do it and then said, oh, do you mind?
And I'm like, I don't.
It literally doesn't bother me.
There's a lot of people.
But it was a very, very sort of like a little gentle.
And he'd just given me his whole life.
He was just the nicest man.
I was going to invite him over for dinner, and then I felt bad that I didn't.
Get him on the pod.
Oh, no no his name was
Ron
of course it was
Ronnie
oh maybe that's
what it was
that made me
think of it
was it Ronnie Wood
no
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Ronnie Wood
in Sainsbury's
this could all
get too
misconstrued
this is how
gossip starts
he was really lovely Ron
He was 85, 86
Doing his little Sunday shop
Lovely though
Really, really nice man
I see loads of old boys in like
A little supermarket near me
And I do, yeah
I always look at their shopping
I look at what they're buying
So did I
He had
What did he have?
I think he had
Oh do you know what he had?
Nesquik
Cereal
No he didn't
But then he has got all his grandchildren, great-grandchildren,
grandchildren, so I didn't know if maybe they were for him or for them.
But you can't bang in a bit of Nesquik.
Can't beat it.
Yeah, I love looking at the old shop.
There's always a bit of ham in there, isn't there?
Yeah, breaded ham.
Love seeing if there's any breaded ham.
Oh, bless you, darling.
Wow.
You know, the last time we were on, we were talking about the London Underground, and I said how much it was for a travel card. Oh, bless you, darling. Wow. You know, the last time we were on, we were talking about the London Underground,
and I said how much it was for a travel card.
Oh, yes.
Someone said evidence for you.
It wasn't the London Underground.
No, it was a travel card.
And I think I messed up.
I was just looking, I think, not the tube, just the train.
She's trying to back herself up.
There we go.
Because it didn't make sense.
Evidence for you that when I went to London the other day, it cost me £36 to travel on
the underground.
Wow.
An overground train.
It can't just be the underground.
London Overground, Shepherd's Bush.
Wow.
I don't know where she was coming from, what she was doing.
That was the message.
So it's a little bit vague.
No, I thought it said, she said she was from like somewhere right
in the south she doesn't mention that oh she's from hove thank you so you're right so you're
getting a train from home i know but maybe she wasn't coming from home no she might not have
been that's why we need clarification on that yeah please let me know nick no i know even some
of the girls at work i was talking to one of the girls
at work the other day
where was she
can't remember
not that far
but again
she was
oh yes

Midlands
yeah
yeah no I guess
that is quite far
isn't it

there was someone else
who I think
more Essex way
right

like 30 something
quid to get in
it's outrageous it's get in it is a lot

everything's a lot
we were talking about
the t-shirts

hi Nat
hope you are well
just listening to the latest episode with your nieces and the part about the people at the hospital in wife and
husband tops on my wedding day I went to the hospital in my full gown vow and flowers as my
mum got admitted with sepsis early in the morning and I had to have my mum see me in my dress
that's cute that's really sweet I mean that's a very different very very very different
very different
but that's
yeah that's
because you get married
still
well I guess you
how can you not
yeah
just a quick one
one of your nieces
can't remember
which one it was
she said a word wrong
it's not tenderhooks
oh me
no one's on tenderhooks that's wrong It's not tenderhooks. Oh, me. No one's on tenderhooks.
That's wrong.
It's tenterhooks.
Ah, you've been mugged up.
I think you should do a pod on what people say,
what people get incorrect in terms of words or phrases.
That's what we were doing.
There's one there.
Tenterhooks.
Not tenderhooks
We do do those my darling
And yes I think
Tender
What's that then?
I say tenderhooks
I've never heard
I've never
Yeah
Tenderhooks
Well you knew it
Yes it's not tenderhooks
I always say tenderhooks
So I'm with you
I don't believe
What's tender?
Well it's just the phrase
It's tenderhooks
Yeah I've never known that.
There we go.
I've always said tenterhooks because I thought it was kind of...
On tenterhook like you're on...
Yeah, tenter.
A bit like that.
Tenter.
Look there.
What's tenter mean, Ellie?
Google it, please.
Have a little Google of tenterhooks.
Did we say about loose and lose?
Oh, God.
Because that, for me, is room 101.
Loosing out.
When people write, I don't want to loose you instead of lose.
Oh, no, that's terrible.
Or they put loose instead of lose.
Yeah.
It's my worst.
All of the there's are my pet peeves.
Yeah, my mum loved mummy, but mummy can't do the T-H-E-I-R.
She gets it wrong every time.
There's no meaning of tenter. I don't know what you want to say. What was that thing? Who sent that thing? Mummy can't do the T-H-E-I-R. She gets it wrong every time.
There's no meaning of tenter.
What was that thing?
Who sent that thing on Instagram?
Oh, it was fantastic.
How good was that?
Was it you that sent it?
About the English language and how difficult it is.
Here, it was like, well, if that's here,
then what's here with a D on the end?
Well, that's heard heared no it's heard
it's incredible
the English language
is one of the most
difficult languages
in the world
yep
yet most countries
are learning it
don't know what that
says for us really
we should be learning
a few more languages
really
I know
I wish I did
but
me too
that ship sailed
maybe one day
or something
doing
this was good
on Instagram.
So I did a story the other day saying I was walking around Marks' or whatever
and I was going to get a few bits and pieces.
And the reply was this, which I thought was absolutely brilliant,
from Whatta Wally Artist.
So, you'll have to get the thumbs up from the old nieces, Nat.
Wouldn't want to give them a coronary, would we?
Lulz.
Send them round mine after
my other half
reckons I dress

All our favourite flavours of crisps we wanted to do.

Well, you say that, people love that idea.
I bought some Pringles today.
I'm not a Pringle fan at all.
I'm sour cream and child Pringle. No, they're a liability.

Listen it's long
It's been a long time
You've not had any sleep
We've had a very busy weekend
Thank you for coming round
On a Monday evening
I appreciate it
No problem
All good babes When are we doing the next one? Yeah what's the week looking like? What's going on? Very busy weekend. Thank you for coming round on a Monday evening. I appreciate it. No problem.
All good, babes.
When are we doing the next one?
Yeah, what's the week looking like?
What's going on?
I feel like you might come and help me clean on Thursday.
I'm going to come over.
Maybe we can just... Well, I'm around Thursday and I'm at home.
I've got to do the school runs, but I'm just at home.
I mean, I've got my own shit to do,
but I haven't been over to see your house once.
No.
I don't come over.
And also, you're not about
to just have a baby
so
so yeah
I was going to say
about you doing dinner
on Wednesday
oh for fuck's sake
no
yeah
excellent
don't do a stew though
will you
oh I've bought
just as I
oh my god
the one
the one week
that I actually go shopping
and buy my dinners
for the week
but I don't know why you do that weird with our life why do you do that I actually go shopping and buy my dinners for the week. I don't know why you do that.
Weird.
With our life.
Why do you do that?
I never do it because I need some organisation in my life
and that's the only thing that I could do.
And I have no plan this week.
I wanted to try and eat well.
I feel like where we've been, we've had so much going on
and even in the week, like Jack's doing stuff in the house,
we end up eating rubbish or quick things.
So I wanted to have four really good meals. I thought a massive pack of mints because I was
going to bulk cook a bolognese to free some but I'll make that on Wednesday why are you turning
your nose up this is a thing I don't like unbelievable no well you're I don't know what
you're not because if I'm going to Elliot's I can do a bolognese. So what do you want? So what would you want?
Something exciting.
No, babes, I've got your kid all day.
I haven't got time to cook.
Okay, let me have a think.
But it's interesting because I don't do the shopping for the week.
I never do it.
And I did it a couple of weeks ago, a few weeks ago.
And it's always warm.
And I ended up being out every night.
I was in so much. And that is why I stopped doing it. weeks ago and it's always well and i ended up being out every night i was completely annoyed
and that is why i stopped doing every time i stop and then one i get a little burst to do it and
that week i get that burst it's manic nothing happened it never gets eaten but i bought things
that could be frozen i didn't go mad on the veg that's good so i thought i can run to like a
little local shop and pick up veg if needed but i got out on Thursday. I just don't want to be bloated.
I mean, is that what you think about that?
What you're going to eat on Wednesday night?
You can have a bowl of mints without the pasta.
Or I can do some courgette.
No.
No.
She will have a plate of pasta.
No different to her.
Because I'm messaging me On Friday evening
And I said
I'm going to drive
On Saturday
And she went
Yeah do you know what
I'm done with it
I'm not going to drink a lot either
I said okay
Alright then
There's no point
There's just no point
But you're boring
It's not boring
She's boring
I had a brilliant time
No you're boring
I had a really lovely time
I was boogieing I was up Boogieing I had a brilliant time. No, you're boring. I had a really lovely time. I was boogieing.
I was up.
Boogieing?
I had a great time.
I feel like I didn't really see you.
No, it's boring.
I'm boring.
Life with Nat.

Your burr era
She is very burr
Burdandy
No this is Natalie's time isn't it
Saturday nights
Wine
Board games
It's mine
Human buckaroo Human buckaroo.
Human buckaroo.
There is nothing better.
I'll hide the tequila because Maria loves tequila now.
Yeah, I need a certain one.
Oh, what, a coffee with train?
No.
What is it?
I don't know.
I don't know.
What's a big tequila?
Nothing.
Badandi was before tequila.
Brian Badandi.
From Phone Jackal.
No, but I'm just saying, what's she saying?
What's that got to do with tequila?
I don't know.
But I know we skirted around it.
It's quite a big topic.
This quarter is the best quarter season.
I feel I'm scared to talk about it because I don't want to bore people.
Oh, fucking hell.
Too little, too late.
But genuinely, it brings me such joy now.
I mean.
The night's drawing in.
I know people don't like it.
The next quarter is going to be us just talking about what board games we've played.
Oh, I'm not going to be us just talking about what board games we've played.
I'm not going to be.
What red wine we're drinking.
We'll get a little cardboard cut out of you.
No, I'll be here.
Don't worry.
No, it'll be absolutely fine.
Newborn babies are the easiest bit.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I agree, butter.
Yeah, you're slept.
It's fine.
It'll be fine. All the time.
We've still got up every three or four hours I know we stumbled up the stairs
But the crisp leaves
No, no, I didn't mean that
I didn't mean that
The crisp mornings
Because she looked at me
As I said about the crisp leaves
I love the leaves
When they fall
When they fall
They're all crispy
My dream
And when you just crunch them
In your new autumn boots.
Don't you just love, though,
I would just love to run through the park in the leaves.
Is she taking a piss out of me?
I love that.
You will go and do it then.
I do, I will.
In Roxbob Park.
You know, you have all the trees.
And I genuinely used to do that.
It is so beautiful.
In fact, I will go there to see.
There's just something about
yeah
the tree line
even the church
near me
the cemetery
as you walk through
with the trees
beautiful
beautiful
for me it's waking up
and it's blue sky
you know it's cold
yeah
the sun's shining
but it's crisp
oh I love it
I'm really excited about that
yes I love it
I just love the crispness
of the next quarter no it's great and then you get the rain but I? I just love the crispness of the next quarter.
No, it's great.
And then you get the rain.
But I don't mind.
No, the rain's a fucking egg.
But when it's all like a Sunday, get up, get a roast on,
get those potatoes prepped.
Nine o'clock, the potatoes are boiling.
I'm not great on roasts.
I need to work at it.
It's not my thing.
A little glass of red.
Oh.
Not at nine o'clock.
No, 11. And then once you start getting on to the later prep, little glass of red oh not at nine o'clock one no eleven
and then once you start
getting onto
the later prep
open a bottle
have a little glass
while you're prepping it
you do realise
you're going to have to
roast a lot of Sundays now
well you will
yeah you're going to
we'll have come round
with the baby
yeah because there'll be
all stuff you won't
want to go out
so it's best that we
just come to you
for roasts
sounds like a lot
to be fair we just
come here
we're up the road
yeah well that's true yeah I can't be you for roasts. Sounds like a lot. No, to be fair, we just come here. We're up the road.
Yeah.
Well, that's true.
Yeah, I can't be cooking a roast every Sunday for a hundred people. What are you going to be doing?
We're not saying every Sunday.
You'll be doing nothing.
I'm confused.
I've never had a roast at your house.
Have you not?
Ever.
I've never made you a roast?
Never.
Wow.
You've missed out big time.
That's poor.
Oh, do you want me to make you one next week?
Not next week.
Oh, okay.
I don't know where I am.
Oh, do you know what?
I'll make you one before this baby comes.
Yeah?
Okay.
You're really kind.
No, no.
We need to keep it small.
I can't have every one.
Do you mean I'm not every one, am I?
Okay.
Yeah, I'll do that.
All right.
We can all make a dish. No, I won't. No, I'll do that. All right. We can all make a dish.
No, I won't.
No, let us just make the roast dinner.
All right, fine.
My roast is better than yours.
I'm shit at roast.
I'll give you it.
I don't know how you can't be good at a roast.
No, you say that.
That's not true.
She's good at a lot of things that I'm shit at, but roast is my...
If someone said to me, just, you're only allowed to cook roast...
No, you are good at roast.
It's shocking.
It's mental.
What about the old crackling though?
Why is it shocking?
Sorry.
It just blows my brain.
This is how I get spoken to.
I'll cut a few beetroots in half and chuck a little bit of feta on it.
She's like, this is, it blows my brains that you can make things like this.
She thinks I'm an imbecile.
Yeah, I mean, just don't do meatballs.
My meatballs have got better.
No, I'm not sure. No, the roast is good. I think my roast, I think, no. Well, just don't do meatballs. My meatballs have got better. No, I'm not sure.
No, the roast is good.
I think my roast, I think...
Well, I haven't had yours, but...
If we could take Elements, I must say,
her honey, carrots and parsnips, next level.
I don't know how she gets them so...
Sticky.
Caramelised.
Caramelised, crunchy.
Have you had mine?
Don't like anything so yet.
