Thank you for all your messages about me and Tony's episode on Monday. That's going down a storm. The pictures of all your crap drawers are fantastic, although a lot of crap drawers are very organised. I have to say, especially Shell Bell. I chucked you on Instagram earlier and everyone's saying it isn't a crap drawer. That is not a crap drawer. Yeah, it's true. It's an organised crap drawer.

Yeah, it's too organised, really. Do you remember the one we had at mum and dad's? Yeah. So much shit in there. What was in there? Can you remember? Pens, elastic bands. My best one is the uncles.

Do you remember their one? Oh my God. But why did we love it? We used to get it out. What did they always used to have in there? The poo. The toy shit. The toy poo.

Oh, I know what you mean. The two things I always remember is the toy poo and an aerial from a radio. Yes. Because then we used to empty the drawer and we used to use the aerial. We used to pretend we were fishing. We did weird things. Yeah, we did. But that drawer, it just had, yeah, including a lump of shit.

Not a real one. Not a joke one. Not a joke one, for goodness sake. That we used to think was hilarious. I don't have a shit one. A joke one. Not a joke one, for goodness sake. That we used to think was hilarious. I don't have a shit drawer. Sorry? I don't have one. No, you have a shit bowl.

Fruit bowl. I don't anymore. I used to. That was bad. Oh, no, I lie. I have. I'll send a photo. I'll put a photo on when I get home.

I've got a tin. I've got crates. Three little crates. Yeah. That I got from Primark. Oh yeah. Which I thought that would be nice to shove on the side. You can throw keys in. Oh you should see it. Shambolic. I love that. Well as of now I don't have

any shit drawers because everything is organised. Are you all sorted? All done. I know it's boring. Maria like rolls her eyes. She listens to me. No I think it's very lovely for people to hear that you've nested and you're ready to go i couldn't do any more if i tried no but everything's done the house is done i need to come and see it the bed looks incredible clear the bed is you need to come and have a sleepover i have to say the bed is, obviously the bed mattress is unreal, but the actual bed.

When you have a vision, and I don't really, as we know. No, you're not great at this. It's not my forte. Your vision was Vegas. Well, no, my vision was hotel. Yeah, and it looks like a hotel. The headboard, the lights, and my vision has come to life. But I do want to shout out the company because I have to say

I've been speaking to them for about five years. They must think that I'm mad because I I spoke to them, left, gone back, more samples, wood samples, this sample. But they were absolutely amazing. Really? What are they called? They're on Instagram. They're from Leicester, like a family based company. Lovely guys come round, like, you know, just look after things. No damage, no worry.

But Instagram is headboards underscore interiors. I love giving a little shout out to people that do well. And just a nice family business. Kept me, you know, all very organised. No, when you sent me the picture of the room, I thought I would stay there. If that was on Airbnb, I'd be happy with it. I think that's glamorous. It's really nice.

I'm really, really pleased with it. So, yeah, I just thought I'd give them a little shout out because they're a nice little family business Yeah I think it's Leicester Yeah we're all done now So I can start banging on about it Fantastic you're done The pedestal got picked up finally

Oh finally Were they on time? Was it okay? Yeah fine Did they leave any packaging? No no no All good It's gone

However I am left with the damaged item after all that. I don't understand. Yeah, I can't be bothered. Yeah, so that's it. So you haven't got the new one? No. No.

They've just given us a little bit of compensation, a gift card of 30 quid or something. I'm confused. I'm after all. Yeah, no, I'm really confused by it. Natalie's got a nice pedestal here that's not damaged. Why don't we take that one? Right, literally. I've still ended up with the damaged thing, so yeah.

Well, at least they've done something. What, picked up the shit that they dropped off that I couldn't use? Well, at least it's gone out of the house. Great. You don't need it, do you? I just thought we'd clear something up i had a message from chris from dartford uh hi nat listening to the latest pod and you brought up tenterhooks oh god i can't take the credit but found out for you on tenterhooks

means waiting nervously for something to happen the word tenter means a frame used for drying and stretching cloth and is related to tent. So being on tenter hooks compares the tenseness of the stretched fabric to the tension of nervous waiting. Got it. But tender hooks still make sense when you think about the context. How? What do you mean? Why does tender hooks make sense because like when

you're tender isn't it like not really because the hooks don't really make sense it's about it's stretching yeah fine all right forget about it um but yeah no we had lots of messages on that so yeah fantastic we had a lot about mum's cleaning hack and we're not ignoring you guys but i think we've got to leave that one to mum yeah no we're gonna have to share with you you said that was your cleaning hack well it's so yeah but it's fine she's she's the cleaner it wasn't mine it was davis who's done the carpet cracking though no no i'll leave that one for for mum to share with you all that's a little tease i had a message from Mary Coils on Instagram. She said,

Hey Nat, your chat about Zara had me howling. I had the misfortune of working there, thankfully for a very short period of time, when I was a student in Belfast. Jesus, that shop was honestly hell. From the staff to the actual job, horrendous. Their clothes are always dirty as they are kicked from one end of the stockroom to the other. I have to say, let's not be really terrible to Zara because I don't want anyone suing me.

But it don't sound great from the message you've read. Why are they going to sue you? Well, you can't talk bad of people, can you? Well, you can if it's... That's not us. That's her talking bad. Well, that is true, yeah. But thank you for that, Mary.

I went shopping with Eliza, didn't I, for her birthday up to London. Didn't even go in Zara, which is a first for me. Why? Well, because when it's there on Oxford Street, I want to go in there. But after our conversation, I thought, I'm not going. But I did go to the new H&M, the massive one. Ooh, no interest. It's impressive.

I just couldn't think of anything worse. Why? Just a lot. Too big. No, it's nice because it's actually organised as jeans on one floor. You know, it's quite spaced out. Excellent. Nice kids area.

Yes. Very nice kids area. And no, I just wanted to shout it out. It was beautiful. All laid out nice. Where else did you go? Selfridges. Oops.

And then Carnaby Street for Brandy Melville and Subdued. Yeah. Never heard of these brands in my life. Kids thing brands, isn't there? Yeah. Crazy stuff. Talking of shopping. Yeah.

I was in Tesco's the other day why do people leave their trolleys in the middle of the aisle and walk away and just like they're just browsing and it you've caused a jam yes i don't get it it happened so many times i was literally like what is going on here i have no patience for them but what i don't get it It happens so many times I was literally like What is going on here I have no patience For them shops at the moment But what I don't understand

Just bring your trolley To the side with you Yeah but then you're Then you're blocking In the way of the shelves So Blocking the shelves No I know

But I can't get through No I know I can't look down the aisle The aisle should be wider But obviously they try and pack As much product in as possible But the answer is The aisle should be a little bit wider. You don't need to leave your trolley.

It doesn't take you that long, does it, to pull your trolley to the side, get what you want to get. No. I know, but people browse. There's a lot of browsers. Well, I was bamboozled. Speaking of supermarkets, Marksies. I can't believe what I'm listening to.

I mean, I've not been there. Oh, my God. I had to stop. I said to a lovely guy in there that's worked there for years, I said, I'm leaving here to walk to Tesco's because this is horrendous. It's not their fault. No, I just said, I know you're doing it up, and at Christmas it's going to be lovely.

The cafe's going to be the food hall, so it's going to be huge, which is great. It is good. But at the moment, it is hideous. All of the fridges are actual fridges, so you're trying to get stuff out and you're opening the door, but it's awful. Well, let's hope it's not for long. Well, Christmas. And sometimes you...

When you say Christmas, though, surely it's got to be done by November well peak yeah to be ready for December it's awful I'm not going there forget it

they must be losing a lot of business oh 100% what's funny is you text me about it and then your mum well I've had people call me and say

have you been there I know because like it's been a thing yeah your mum texts saying have you been to Marksies lately she said I feel very discombobulated she said i said she said it was busier busier than ever but so was it was the

same when i went and i went on friday yeah friday and it was so busy i don't know if it just feels busier because but where did you have a lovely experience? And banging tunes. Asda? In where? Did you have a good time? I had to voice note Maria. I ordered a couple of things on George. No, you messaged me, didn't you?

You said, I wanted to order some things on Asda. You were like, well, I'm confused. Why were you so confused? Because, no, it meant going to Harlem. Oh, that was it. You were like, I don't want to go to Harlem. And I said, what are you talking about? There's one in where?

It's just getting delivered in where? Literally, I've just ordered the kids new duvets, new pillows. I've done all their bedroom, matching in, and it looks beautiful. All Asda. Well, I didn't think. I'd forgot there's one in where. Understood. I would never think of that one.

So then Maria was like, I can get it for you. And I was like, why are you get it for you and I was like why are you going to Harlow and I was like oh where blah blah blah so anyway my order's in I go there

nice car park and I thought I've never I think I've been there once and I remember going with you and like Maria running out anyway drove in

car park empty and it's just been school run so I thought there might be lovely space where I can actually get in and out of my car without having to get someone to move my car for me

because I'm nearly nine months pregnant. Walk in, go up the little escalator thing. And then I thought, oh, I really want a coffee. It's annoying. I wish I was at Sainsbury's. They've got a thing. A little caf, get a coffee. Print photos downstairs if you need to.

I saw someone doing that that was excellent quiet everything laid out a lovely lady come up to me because i had a few bits i only went to pick up stuff and then i thought i need this she was like excuse me dear would you like a basket i was like that's lovely got a basket it was unbelievable. Fantastic in there. What a beautiful experience. You know when you're really not expecting it and I thought I could easily go and just do my shop there. It's not chaos. I love Sainsbury's, but it's chaos in there. I really like the space and you're right about the music.

As the radio is great. Great music. I went in there yesterday and I ended up doing 100 quid because I picked up some pumpkin plates, a ghost candle holder. I think it's the Stacey Solomon stuff. Is it nice? It's cute. But that's what I mean.

Even their homey bit. No, the George. The pajamas are cracking. George and Esther and their home bits are fantastic. Well, I bought some vests. I was very pleased with what I got. But the whole experience, I thought, I got my coffee. I've had a nice mooch around, no stress.

Nice staff. Not busy, nice staff. I could quite easily go there again and do my shop. Well, it's good to know, isn't it? It's really good to know. Sainsbury's was quite busy this morning. Yeah, not for me, Sainsbury's. Quite busy.

I had a few. Sorry? Sainsbury's was quite busy this morning Yeah not for me Sainsbury's Quite busy I had a few Sorry Sainsbury's Le Pak Oh yeah did you pick me up some No Two pounds Two pounds Yeah I've picked one up today

I've picked two up Oh wow Why Wow Because you You can't get Le Pak I don't think you can get any butter Four pound I paid the other day

I nearly had a heart attack I said to you do you need anything I didn't know I didn't think You did know any butter. Four pound I paid the other day. I nearly had a heart attack. I said to you, do you need anything? I didn't know. You did know. Maria texted me saying something. What did you say? Grab me a cup.

I said, grab me a couple of butters. I said, you are butters. And half a leg of lamb. Go on. Half price. I know, but that's like everything, isn't it? You get Tesco Club card. No, no, no. As the reward.

It should have been £15. It was like £7 or something. But some people just go from shop to shop and buy all the deals and that is how you do it. Deal or no deal? No, that's true. But the only thing I'd say. That's the Spanish version.

Trato or non-trato? Oh, is it? I like that. It's good. My problem with going to different supermarkets to collect things is your fuel consumption. No, it's not. I'm telling you. No. Depending on where they are.

Well, you're not going to go an hour away, are you? No. We're in the vicinity where we live. You've got a Sainsbury's. You've got an Asda. Yes. But no. It's a lot of aggravation you've got an Asda. Yes. But no. It's a lot of aggravation.

It's about stocking up, in my opinion. I didn't buy one butter, I bought two. Because they're not going to go off. No, but I've already got an extra large one, which I got on offer, which I'm finishing. I've already got a small one, so I thought I would just get one. But my thought process is, if Sainsbury's have done it on the old nectar, Tesco's are going to do it. So I've just got to keep me away as a pill.

But I couldn't believe that. £2 for butter and Lurpak. That's what it should be. £4. And olive oil. What has happened to olive oil? Let me talk to you about olive oil. Why is it so expensive? There's a stunning one in Tesco's though, but it is about £18. But it is very good

and it is a big bottle. Yeah, but for dressings and stuff, fine. That's fine, but what do you use it for? When I'm doing my roast potatoes you don't cook them in olive oil you shouldn't cook with olive oil oh i do i do nah only the odd thing i'm not roast potatoes on a sunday you should well my roast potatoes yesterday were the best i've done in a very long time every time how did you do them they no i had i'm really annoyed I didn't get a photo. They were excellent. Oh, what, cheese?

No, because I'd boiled them, so they were done by nine o'clock in the morning, preparation and all that. Who are you? I do that every time I do a roast. It's all done. Early doors, done, half nine, bang. And then I thought,

oh, but I've poured them in the tray now, and really I want to put the oil in and heat that up. You said you didn't heat the oil up. Well, I don't, but I was trying Poppy's way. But anyway, so no, I didn't. But I did do that before, remember I told you, but I just covered them all. I know I had a little bit of goose fat as well in the fridge.

Scoop that up. They were on low because I was cooking lamb, 170. So it took a little while. I was getting a bit nervous. Obviously Jim likes his crispy potatoes so I had to be very mindful very demure cutesy

and then I whacked them up at the end Tess Daly said that on Streetly last week and it was a bit cringy wasn't it don't you think Craig, what with Craig craig said it yeah no what what we were like looking at each other we're all like yeah so and they were they were really beautiful um we haven't spoken about my pork oh for fuck you know what i mean Talk about piss on your parade. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, anyway, Nat.

So. No, because we haven't done a pod in ages. Yes, I know. We were talking about it. Do you remember? Oh, yeah. We can go back to the pork. Let's just finish with the lamb. Don't worry.

The potatoes were unbelievable. The lamb was a bit overcooked. We could have the same conversation next week. She's going to go, I made the best potatoes I've ever made. Well, hopefully hopefully not because hopefully I'll be in hospital on Sunday oh no

maybe next week maybe you'll be home and making a roast for us go on with a baby David in the soddle baby David oh I can't wait

for Christmas and watching all these like royal families. Yeah, so good. That's my favourite pastime. Go on. My crackling.

Yeah, I want to hear about it. I want to hear how you did it. I want to know what make it was. I want to know everything about it. Go. Shoot. Tesco's. Yep.

I don't know, I just bought pork. Yep. A shoulder or a belly? Just a joint. She's not got a scooby-doo. No, because I was looking. Someone's at my door. Bear with me.

I was looking at the, I don't know if I got a belly. I don't know. It was very good. It wasn't dry. But was it round? Yeah. Flat to belly? Could have been a pork shoulder.

Maybe a shoulder. Okay. To be honest, I don't know how it happened. It was just fluke. It was amazing. Like perfection. Did you pat it? I pat it.

Pat it, salt it, got the water out. It's already cut. Salt it, salt it out. Bit of oil, not olive oil, I don't think. What temperature? Not olive oil. No don't think. What temperature? Not olive oil. No. That's mad.

I put it on 220, I think. Yep. For 40 minutes. Oh, quite a long time high. Okay. I think half hour, 40 minutes. I just followed the instructions and that. Really?

Then turned it down to 200 or whatever it was. Was the actual pork good? Lovely. Not dry? Not dry. And the crackling was unreal. Well, I put it on, didn't I? And I got lots of nice comments.

Excellent. Anyway. Yeah, no, I think it's luck when it comes to pork. I've never been able to get it like that. I think it's luck of the cup also I do think you need no you need your

oven needs to be hot when it goes in is that your chippuddings yeah I've nailed mine really every time every time

I'll be honest great success anyway yeah anyway we can't just keep talking about cooking every time well I didn't do

potato who's this now I didn't do potato. Oh, who's this now? I didn't do potatoes. I did mash. So I think that's where I get a bit stressed out. That's weird. If I just focus on the meat. I haven't got two ovens.

I have, but. But do you know people have mash with their roast dinner? They have roast potatoes and mash. That's quite an English thing. No, or they have like. Carrot and sweet mash. That's quite an English thing. No, they have like... Carrot and swede mash. Yes, exactly that. Okay.

No, I'm going to start again. People have roast potatoes and mashed potatoes. I've never heard of it. Forget swede. Never heard of it in my life. Some people like to do everything. No, again, you're not... That is quite a common thing that people have as a roast dinner.

I've never heard of that. They'll have their runner beans, their cauliflower cheese, their roast potatoes, their mashed potatoes. I've never heard of it. No. Never. Who does that? I don't know if I should call her out. Yeah, do it. Kat, they have mashed potato. She can't get over we don't have mashed potato

with roast dinner. I think that's quite a thing. Well, let's ask. Should we put a poll? Yeah, do a poll now and see how far we get. Should I put it up right now? Yeah, do it now. Do a poll. I'm not bothered about...

Is that awful? That picture? I mean, there's a lot of wires in it. Well, can you move your big head out of the way a minute? Mine? I'm going to get your sign. I find that we... I'm not a lover of the old, what are they called?

What about that? Pigs in blankets. Not interested one bit. Me neither. What, a pig in blankets? Yeah, not bothered. Oh, I love it. An overrated, massively overrated.

Joan is favourite. She usually has seven or eight. She's a child, that's why. What do you mean? Well, it's just sausage. Who's having sausages? It's sausages. People enjoy you mean? Well, it's just sausages. Who's having sausages? It's sausages. People enjoy it.

No, I know. People love it. If I am going to have them, they have to be the tiny little tiny ones. Yes. Burnt to a crisp. Yes. I know what you mean. Oh, another thing that I need to tell you about.

Oh, yeah. Matcha. Oh, I love matcha. No. Why? Matcha tea? Matcha coffee? Matcha Oh I love matcha No Why? Matcha tea Matcha coffee Matcha powder

You don't have it with coffee No it is the thing Yeah It is Didn't we have this conversation? No We did Because I asked

When we were talking about the burr The burr mumps No She was saying that she had it with her coffee I can I can Do it again The Burmumps? No, she was saying that she had it with her coffee. I could never ever do that again if I tried. No, we should keep that.

You need to use that as like a thing. Yes, bookmark that. I don't know what just happened to me. I'm sorry. It's been a very, very busy week and I'm exhausted, quite frankly. Yeah, you said you had it with your... Is it mashed potato or mashed potato? Say it again.

Mashed? Bodger and Badger. Or mashed? Mashed. Mashed. No, mashed. M-A-S-H. Mashed potato.

Oh, we can't do this again. Look it up. But the potatoes are mashed. But it's mashed potato. Oh, you don't say roasted potatoes. No it up. But the potatoes are mashed. Yeah, but it's mashed potato. Oh, you don't say roasted potatoes. No, roast potato, mashed potato, boiled new potato. I have to do another poll on what it is. Hang on, hang on a second.

Sorry, I'm just doing this post. Yeah, Nat, you don't have it with the coffee, I got told. You don't have to. No, you don't. No, matcha is the thing. But if I have a matcha oat latte. It's just matcha. There's no coffee in it.

What is she talking about? Not you, Natalie. Hello. The matcha is the replacement of the coffee. Oh. Oh, I didn't know that. A matcha latte is just like having a. Instead of having coffee, you're having matcha.

Oh, I see. I thought they added it to a coffee. See, yeah. My assistants are they added it to a coffee so yeah my assistants are like it's a real worry but i really enjoy it really like it a lot i'm gonna try it matcha oat it just tastes a bit earthy isn't it yeah it is quite earthy but then i think you'll like it because your palate you like beetroots like me it's quite earthy quite grounded i feel like no it's a very is it mash or mashed i'm just having a look oh my gosh um it's like the lumpy mash has just come up on the image do they have mash or

It's mashed Mashed potatoes That's crazy What do you mean? Right let's see The best mashed potato I've ever had Yeah Is in Paris

really yeah I reckon they used about five tubs of Lurpak probably proper butter actually I was going to say it would have been

Presidente or something that's real love that stuff proper I'm not really a fan of mashed potato I love mashed potato yeah it's bizarre

but it's got to be really really good creamy not a massive fan unless it's really, really good. I can make a good one when you've got time. I've got no inspiration for food at the moment. No, no. I really haven't.

This is a good message. Re things that are said wrong. Why do you say re and not re? I don't know. Re. Re things that are said wrong. Why do you say re and not re? I don't know. Re. Just talking about saying things wrong, I'd say re saying things wrong. Oh, okay. But I guess you're right.

Re is just a shortened of regarding. Re things that are said wrong. The one that gets me the most and find unbelievable is chest of drawers said and written as chester drawers never heard that chest of drawers i've got a very highly professional intelligent friend that says it and i've seen people selling chester drawers i like that i get it i would sell fuck off if someone is that stupid she She's got the right hummus, girl. Chester Draws. I'd say I'll get it at the Chester Draws.

I know, but it is a chest of drawers. Yeah, of course, but that's how I would say it. Chester Draws. Chester Draws. But you wouldn't write Chester Draws. You just pronounce it like... It's just your pronunciation. We...

Yeah. Yeah. Very strange. Did I mention years ago someone mumming you used to call the tall boy

a toy boy the toy boy in the bedroom that's brilliant oh yeah happy days tall boy toy boy

and the clarity is good what's going on she just I think she knocked it with her teeth I think she's knocked it with her I'm going to wet myself oh no

I just headbutted it I'm tired I'm really in pain the other day I went with Nat to pick Eliza up from school and she's driving out and there's all like you know the little speed humps the annoying I'm really in pain. The other day I went with Nat to pick Eliza up from school. Oh, yeah. And she's driving out and there's all like, you know, the little speed humps, the annoying.

Michael Schumacher over there. And I'm like, ah, everyone, ah, it was really painful. She's like, oh, sorry. It was horrible. You do need to go over those very slowly, hence why they're in the school. I think Monday recording is tough. Isn't it? What do you mean? What does the day, what does it matter?

Because everyone's a bit fooked. No, I'm not. No, we are. Why? Interestingly, talking about when we record the pod, I had a message from Shell Bell. She's a regular messenger. Well, yeah, you've mentioned her twice.

All right. Just listen to ep 42. I've literally been laughing out loud. Had you girls been drinking? So, so funny. The autumn list, classic. I can relate. Lovely, but no time.

Can you please do an ep when you're all a bit tipsy? Oh, I'd love to. I'd love to be tipsy. No, you won't. You said you're not going to drink again. No, I will. Have a couple, won't you, sweetheart? But yeah, she said you girls are just brilliant.

Thank you. Aw, thanks. That's nice, isn't it? It will definitely not be tipsy. No, we didn't have a drink last episode. No. We haven't done that in ages. No.

The first one we did. Yeah, we had a couple of drinks, didn't we? Well, wait for me. Maybe we can have a little... Celebrate. Wet the baby's head on the pot. Oh, yeah, that's good. Wet the baby's head.

One thing I wanted to say is once the baby's here, Maria and I will continue. And if you're not free to do it, obviously for the next few weeks maybe, possibly, we can just give you a ring. Can't wait. Yeah, that'd be all right.

See how things are going. It'll be all right. We can whack him in a bouncer down there or something. Yeah, it'd be fun, wouldn't it? We'll see how we go. How weird is it going to be? He's going to be here soon. I know.

I remember Ruby had like a red one The hospital will put on their own hat Yeah but what I read It was red We looked at the photos the other day Alfie had blue and Ruby had pink Oh okay fair enough Red is if they're in

night night trouble apparently oh for god's sake what is it at least to tell me if they're like high risk or something really oh well i never knew that so i apologize i'm sure um we were speaking about number plates last time oh yes which yes, which now has ruined my life. Because all I do is look at number plates and try and make words out of it or try and... I always do that. I know all the number plates. I'm getting my new car soon.

A few people have said, like, oh, I know number plates. I know. Yeah, they have. But it's weird because I'll be driving and I'll wave because I'll know it's my neighbour and they're probably thinking, who is that waving? But I just know the number plate yeah i know the odd number like recognize i don't know the i couldn't read it now but when i see it i recognize it well listen to this from

kerry hi nat and your nieces listen to the latest pod where you're talking about number plates i'm glad i'm not the only one that remembers them and thought about the number plate when buying a car two stories for you one my auntie ruined my surprise birthday meal as i spotted her car in the car park two my son and i genuinely had a discussion recently as we spotted our mcd in mcdonald's and made us think of ronald mcdonald love the pod thanks for keeping the company I was thinking Ron DMC oh yeah my friend messaged me saying that they got a car

once and the number plate looked like wanky so they had to get rid of the car brilliant oh that's fair isn't it

why would you go for that though in the first place well no I don't it's like me I don't know what I'm going to have at the weekend

oh that's true are you getting it at the weekend hopefully yeah I went to Marg have at the weekend. Oh, that's true. Are you getting it at the weekend? Hopefully, yeah. I went to Margate at the weekend. Down to Margate. So predictable, man. Who?

Us with the song. No, I did it too. It was so good. Was it lovely down there? Yeah, so good. I was a bit tipsy and we went on the ghost train in dreamland what do you mean it was the worst experience for an adult i cried sorry with laughter and fear what do you mean you would have shit your pants no children what was it an adult one no but it was so scary it was like back

in the 70s atmosphere no it was yeah Chucky there was like an exorcist

no I didn't look I was petrified I couldn't look I took a video oh brilliant of us on it I'll show you after it's really funny

oh you have to put it on no it was jokes it was really funny but it was petrifying but Margate is amazing. Beautiful restaurants. Lovely little shops. I was telling Mark about it.

We might book it for a night. No, you can't all start going now. My friend's moving there. She'll be fuming with me. You can't all start going. It's just a location. No, I know, but you wouldn't have gone. It is a place that I've been wanting to visit for a long time

because of the art scene down there, I have to say. The art scene. There's Tracey Emin, isn't there? Yes, they love Tracey Emin, yeah. Yeah, they love it down there. It's just all the art. So I would love it there. No, you would love it.

It has been on my list. Great. Guys, just changing the subject, but did anyone watch Who Wants to Be a Millionaire last night? Yeah. What was he doing? Why would you use your phone a friend? It makes no sense whatsoever.

He said they wouldn't know. But they might have. But no, you've got to watch it because it was so good. It was. I just look at these people and I think, how are you that intelligent?

Oh, don't tell me. But also stupid. Intelligent. No common sense. Exactly. I'm sorry. Oh my every parcel. You've got a but stupid. No common sense. Exactly. I'm sorry. Oh, my every parcel. You've got a lifeline.

Just try it. They might know it. Oh, so they didn't use a lifeline? They didn't even use it. He said, no, I'll just take the money. And also, the audience got the right answer. He had an inkling it was that. So why not just ask your phone a friend just to see if their inkling is the same as your inkling.

You could have been on quarter of a million pound, mate. Oh, I'm pleased I've got gonna watch that now sorry just ruined it but it's annoying but fantastic did they say it was on again tonight or next because i'm really happy i don't know if it said tonight and then the guy before i felt sorry for him because he lost all his lifelines on night a shocker what was the question it just goes to show if it's like you know what you know yeah and it was like i was like this is easy but for him you know it yeah you know what you know yeah with any of these quizzes what was the what was it she's not even listening what is the point we're worried about her not being here you know we're talking and it's irrelevant that she's here

or not because she's just on the phone yeah i, but I need him to leave that parcel. Tell him. He will leave it. Oh, he's leaving it. Oh, I love him. Do you love him? I said to every the other day, because I was away for the weekend, I said to every, leave my H&M parcel next door. Get home.

Where is it? Thrown over the gate. Pissing down my lane. I know, it's outrageous. In a wooden box. Well, that's a mirror, so I hope he doesn't throw it over the gate piercing down my leg I know it's outrageous in a wooden box well that's a mirror so I hope he doesn't throw it over the gate fingers crossed how about when they

what was the item that they threw over my gate what did they throw what did they throw no it was was it an electrical appliance it was they throw everything there

it was a full on almost like a television was thrown over the I wish I could remember the item. Why can't you speak? I can't talk today. I don't know. Do you know why?

Because I don't stop talking and I need a break from it. That's why. Oh, my God. This is what I mean. She's preoccupied. You can't speak. I'm not preoccupied. I'm here.

I'm available. It is going down the pan. I mean, I wanted to start doing one of these a week, and we can't get one out a month. It's terrible. Honey, I'm free. It's not me. I'm free.

It's you, yeah. It's you. We have plans today, and you fucked them up yesterday. Hi, Nat. I have an idea for a podcast chat, seasonal decor. Now, I don't think we're going to do a full podcast chat on this but sarah wants to know about autumnal reefs knitted pumpkins cozy orange beige ornaments what is it about when did we have to start changing our decor to match the seasons stacy is it sarah sarah yeah so absolute ball Nah. Says she who's just bought a ghost candle holder and a pumpkin.

Oh, whacking a few things up. Two pumpkin plate. Little pumpkin plate. No, I know, but I don't like start changing all the cushions. Like Natalie. Get the new froze out. She gets a new biscuit tin out. I mean.

A new kitchen roll holder. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You get a life. I don't think that's very fair. It's a lot though. And over the years, over the years, I have bought, no. You get a life. I don't think that's very fair. It's a lot though. Over the years, I have bought those things. Do you know what? I probably, if I'd never had anything like that now,

I wouldn't buy it. I would go. But I'm really pleased that I have because they're all away and I get them out. I've got a teapot for Christmas, a biscuit for Christmas. No, okay, yeah, Christmas, we have got a little festive blanket on the way through

and a little cushion I did get from Marksies that I'll stick on the chair. But I can go, I think maybe spring, summer, autumn, winter, you could change the odd throw if you want a brighter colour or something like that. But you can't be getting out like pumpkin cushion. I mean, people do duvets, they do the lot, don't they? You do the Christmas duvet. Christmas duvets. Everyone's got a Christmas duvet, yeah.

Nah. That's so weird. But what do you mean? What, you have one Christmas duvet? She's got that massive flower of Christmas on it. It's huge. No, but what do you mean?

You've got one duvet set. Yeah. For Christmas. Yes. So what, you just have that on for the whole of December? No, I just... You don't wash it?

I wash and dry it in one day And it goes back on Yeah no not for me That's broken though One of the buttons is torn So that's got to go in the bin And I'm going to get a new one this year I'm so excited

Oh No I can't do that My bedroom's too nice now Yeah you can't have You could get like a cute one With like little reindeer It's like really subtle Oh really

Not sure Or like mistletoe Yeah you could Or a holly or i could just get like an all white one it could just be like snow yeah that's a good idea although what was i was looking at something the other day on um instagram and it made me laugh and it was actually quite sad and it showed you like in the 80s what houses were like and what they are now. And it's like a bit more kitsch. Kitsch. Kitsch. And now everything is just beige and grey and neutral. I saw it.

It's true, isn't it? It is true. I'm really excited. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you. Is it all like the foil stuff? Yes, exactly. Foil stuff.

Pub. Bink pub. Amazing. So. I don't know. The girls have just done my door Haven't they For autumn

Really really lovely So they said Can we do your Christmas story A little bit early I said go for it Don't care Showcase I don't mind

What are your ideas this year What are we doing She's doing 80s kitsch Yeah I love it Multi coloured bulbs Flower bulbs Multi coloured lights Foil presents

And I'm so excited. Yeah, I love it. I've got a lot of time for it. Then what are you going to do indoors? Well, I've got the decorations I've got, but I would love to do a tree like that. I would really, really like... I mean, we used to hang chocolate on them.

Yes. Yeah, that's cute. And that's what made it. You'd get your box, you'd open it up, hang them all on. Yeah. I remember at Non-Nor's we had... remember at non-north we used to make the coat hanger yeah we used to eat them and just leave the wrappers on the tree or like half of it and at non-north i'm sure we had coat hanger ones where we made and we wrapped the tints around

yeah they used to put them up and they did have the pub foil yes the foil going all the chains the chains i'm here for it i'd really love to do that this year for the whole house, but how are you going to? I reckon if you had the right gaff, you could do it. You should go on Rocket St. George. I'd keep saying gaff. You've said that about three times today. I don't know.

Don't know. Don't need to die your heart out over here. Don't. Yeah, no, I love it. I've got a lot of time for it But I always think about For the hallway here I know that it's never going to be decorated

But let's just pretend But the stairs and the hall I would love patterned carpet Patterned carpet What is she saying? Patterned Patterned carpet Oh the blue one's a bit bigger.

We had this conversation. Yeah, I'd quite like, be it floral or something, but I feel like that's quite kitsch. So what does kitsch mean? Maria will tell you. I'm going to Google it. Oh, God. Kitsch.

It's just a bit like, it's just a bit retro, isn't it? Art that's garish, nostalgic and very lowbrow. Yeah. Do you know like my decorations? I've got like the Amy Winehouse one. Yes. That sort of vibe. Yeah.

Worthless, trashy art. Perfect. But I'm really looking forward to it. I think it'll be a bit different. It'll be interesting. It'll be the, I can't, I don't know, that. Kitsch Christmas. What are they called?

Candy canes. Yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, see, I like that for the kids and stuff, but it doesn't matter now they're getting older. For the kids. Oh, yeah, the kids love the front door. They do enjoy it. What do they do with it?

Well, they enjoy driving home, and when they get home from school, the lights are on and stuff. It's nice. It's exciting. It's great. I love it. I don't think you can beat a fairy light

at any time of the year. I just think they brighten up the whole, they make everything warmer. They make everything nicer, a fairy light. Yeah, I need and there's going to be no lights outside this year. My house is going to be the pits this year.

Full of the Christmas tree. I haven't got room to put up the big tree. You have. No, Elliot, it's not happening. It's this year. Oh, full of the Christmas tree. I haven't got room to put up the big tree. No, you have. No, Elliot, it's not happening. It's not happening. God, that is ag though, decorating all the trees. I'm just going to get a little real one. Yeah, that's a lovely idea.

Little tiny that goes in the bay window. Perfect. Where are all the presents going to go? They'll have to just bring them around here. All my mum's. Fine. Pass him. It'll all be good.

It's just that time of year, isn't it? Just clearing stuff out. Cupboards. Well, no, that's normally spring though, isn't it? Yeah, but I would say going into spring, then going into autumn. The kids have got no clothes. It's freezing. I know what you're saying, the kids have got no clothes. It's freezing.

I know what you're saying, actually. I have no clothes. Yeah, same. So now I feel like I've got to buy everyone a new wardrobe. How mental is that? It is crazy because Joanie's stuff, she's had a growth spurt, she's got taller, and I'm looking in the wardrobe at last year.

No way. No, no way, Jose. And like you say, all of it is... So happy. No, but all of it's summer no I know I know I am struggling at the moment

Do you get the school ones as well with the embroidery and all that? No, I used to, I used to, not anymore. Because I just get lost. So just do a little ASDA trip.

Wow, the pole. Go on. What did you ask? Oh, the. Go on. What did you ask? Oh, the poll's in. What did we ask? Well, no, it's still going, but I'm just going to give you an update. Yes, please. Do you have mashed potato with your roast dinner?

Go for it. Of course, it's a staple. 47%. Oh. Never heard of it at 53%. But that's still... Wow. We're still nearly halfway.

Yeah, that's amazing. That's quite incredible. I'm not sure. I bet you don't get mashed at the Toby Carvery. Yes, you do. I've never been. I wouldn't know. No, but I'm sure they do.

I'm sure that... Yeah, they do. I'm sure they do. Well, no, because I think... I've never been to a pub. Okay, do that and someone tell us. Have a roast and then say, do you want mashed potato with your roast? Have you, Natalie?

No. Thank you. Can we ask them? I bet it's a northern thing. Is it a northern thing? I don't know. Hang on a sec. I don't.

I've got no interest. That's a nice roast. Made a lovely one yesterday. I'm going to call the first one that's come up. Hang on a sec. Who was this? What? ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

... ... I don't think they have a close. Shh, be quiet. Okay. Definitely not open on a Monday. Who's going to go and have a roast on a Monday? People do. You would be surprised. Do you not need to tell this poor person? A friend of mine at work,

mentioning no names, but you know who you are, she orders in a Deliveroo roast dinner. And has it. Deliveroo roast dinner. Yeah, she'll get it and eat it Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, whatever day. Crazy shame. She loves mashed potato as well.

To make a booking, please visit... It's a real shame. Put it on Instagram. I'm really upset but yeah anyway never been to a pub and have been offered mashed potato with my roast

so yeah not sure but Kat has just confirmed Toby absolutely have mash if you'd like to make a booking

oh okay Kat's told us absolutely have mash beautifully you'd like to make a booking oh okay cats told us absolutely have mash beautifully heated under those lamps really you are vile but yes they serve mash absolutely i could have if i was having a pork roast i could have mash bit of applesauce i understand chicken no thank you beef absolutely not imagine having a Christmas dinner because pork's like

sausage and mash but imagine having a Christmas dinner with mashed potato on it no no people do I'm telling you people do

should we do it this year no I might do it for Bence have a little creamy bar not interested you could do a little special one

a little truffled one oh I had truffled scrambled egg yesterday you can't beat it oh my god I've never had it before

beautiful on a proper thick bit of bread beautiful sourdough guys we start talking about something and we end up back at food

but we can't we can't help it we can't we can't help ourselves I had truffled scrambled egg when we went to Selfridges and I nearly said that to me.

I was so jealous because I got the sweet. I got like pancakes or French toast. It was unreal. But Natalie's truffled scrambled egg were excellent. On a muffin. Outrageous. I can never cook my scrambled egg like that. I can.

Can you? What? How? Just doesn't need a lot of cooking. It's not as good, but it's got to be wet. We know when it's hard. We used to make it in the microwave yes yes this is disgusting that is disgusting in a jug like yes that's it it used to be like foamy like a spongy oh yeah more like a bad omelette wouldn't it then you'd break it all up. But no, when you get scrambled egg

and it's all hard, it needs to be soft. And you take it off and it cooks in the pan anyway. And it needs lashings of butter. And a little dash of cream. Yeah, cream fresh. No.

Just cream. But I don't really have cream fresh in the house, ever cream. Why do you have cream in the house? Often. Do you? Yeah. Do you? Yeah.

When you have your breakfast, would you go sourdough toast? Yeah. I don't have breakfast. Or a muffin. No, when you're out, brunch. Oh, sourdough. Would you? I do like muffins. Depending though with poached eggs.

I love a muffin. Yeah. You don't really get them in many places. Somewhere a little while ago offered a sourdough muffin which I was very excited about and it did not turn up on my plate and I was gutted

I think it depends on what you're having like a poached egg or a scrambled egg on a muffin whereas if I'm having beans I want the sourdough. Oh, yeah, because it's harder. Yeah.

No, I understand. I understand. Yeah. I just went for breakfast the same place Friday and Monday. So I love it in there. Where did you go? The place in Hoddesdon, that artisan. What, the baker?

It's the new one that's opened. No, the breakfast is excellent. Really? It is really excellent. But their bacon's lovely. Their scrambled egg is excellent. Give this woman a comedy show for crying out loud. No, really good.

They do, and I've not yet had it because I always go and have the same thing. They do their poached eggs or like an Eggs Benedict on a brioche, like a brioche muffin. I like that because if I have crispy bacon, because I like the crispy bacon with maple syrup, so I feel like the sweet brioche is nice. I'm actually not sure about poached eggs. They're overrated as well.

I love a poached egg. Agreed. But they've got to be perfect.. They're overrated as well. I love a poached egg. Agreed. But they've got to be perfect. They've got to be done well. I've got an egg poacher downstairs. It is the shittiest thing. It goes in the microwave. I wasted two eggs the other day.

I was going to do a story about it, but I was so angry that I couldn't be bothered. You put it in. You're meant to put water at the bottom and then put it in the microwave. What a load of old shit sounds hideous to me really bad real waste a nice breakfast is excellent and i like a baked bean mixed with like something i baked what just one bean no what's that thing a bean a bean half a bean and a bean I don't know

it doesn't work you know what I mean oh we're going all quirky now we're going to dish him in King's Craft Toll's Drop Yard

a bean with like a little bit of chorizo yeah yeah with maybe a little bit of spinach

no that's like the Mexican thing isn't it no I oh my god the bacon naan in the show have you isn't it? No, I... Oh my God. The bacon naan in Dishoom. Have you ever had

a Dishoom breakfast? I've never had a Dishoom. Never had a Dishoom. Every time I've gone the queue's so long I can't be bothered. Let's go. Do breakfast.

Go shopping. Go for lunch. Hi. Can I come? You might be a neighbour. Do it again. What are we doing? Go for breakfast.

Yeah. Do some shopping. Yeah. Go for lunch. What are we doing? We could go for breakfast. Yeah. Do some shopping. Yeah. Go for lunch. What, back at Dishoom? Yeah. Or skip lunch and go for dinner. Yeah, I'd say you need a bit of a break.

All right, we'll do breakfast and dinner. So we're having a Dishoom day. Yeah. Okay. I'm up for it. Where are you going? You're going to have a little tiny baby. You've gallivanted around for 10 years.

10? Well, longer, but you've gallivanted enough. Right. We might be doing this sooner rather than later. All right, all the best. Have a nice time. So that we stop going back to food, maybe we need to ask the people that like Nat's nieces.

We had some nice messages, actually, saying about asking them anything in particular they want us to talk about I think that's a really good idea because we're just going to keep talking about food yeah that's terrible isn't it

yeah let us know things you want to talk about or any questions they've got yeah questions little problems it'll be really nice and we can

get your feedback as to what you like us to talk about but from the messages you're sending you just like us you just like us. You just like us talking a load of drivel, which is lovely. Any particular drivel.

Because actually, yeah, you're like not an agony aunt. We're like agony nieces, aren't we? I know what you're saying. She should be the agony aunt. Yeah, but we're the ones that give her the ag. Which is very true. We give you ag, but we also... Agony aunt.

What could we do for nieces? We'll have a think about it. Maybe not on the pod while people are listening and they're bored to death. I just want to thank you both, as always, for coming round today. I know it's a bit of a ball ache. Why do I say that? It's like a ball ache when you change your plans i know but you know busy busy sometimes it happens what can't wait for today to be over is that bad oh god she is honestly the most joyful

person she can't wait to be around yeah well hopefully soon won't be long i really really need a wee right we're going thank so much. 07788 20 1919. Please send me your voice notes under a minute or a little message for me, Els and Maria. Just send us whatever you fancy. Are you on LinkedIn, Nat? Oh, for God's sake. What is she talking about?

Are you on LinkedIn? Why would I be on LinkedIn? Because I feel like we could post some pod stuff on LinkedIn. Bye. See you later. I might not be around for a while. Oh, that's true. I mean, you are wishful thinking.

We're going to be in three weeks and you're going to be like, I'm two weeks over two. Well, no, but Nat hasn't mentioned anything about another date and I know she's so busy. Hopefully next week, Monday night or Tuesday night, is a possibility. So if all being well and you've not had baby, we'll be back here this time next week.
