33
being sung
happy birthday to you
has to be one of the most awkward
things ever
especially when there's just two of you
doing it for your funeral
well anyway that's going popping up
online for you
all the best. Thank you.
How are you?
Good.
Good.
33.
The big three three.
Yeah.
Why is it big three three. Yeah.
Why is it big?
Dunno.
Just double numbers, innit?
Birthdays are so shit when you get older, aren't they?
Shit.
Hate them. There's no point.
I mean, we are going out.
We're celebrating.
I know.
I can't wait for that.
That'd be fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, you'll have a nice time.
It's just another day, isn't it?
Just another day.
But it shouldn't be, really.
We create that.
What, a big thing?
No, it shouldn't not be a big deal.
What?
Well, just like people that say, oh, it's just another day.
No, it's your birthday.
You should have a lovely day.
Yeah, of course.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I do know what you mean.
I don't like, but I get a bit funny about birthdays
it's a bit much for me
why
I don't know
I find it all a bit overwhelming
well there's nothing
to be overwhelmed about
the expectation
like
no see I don't
I just think
have a nice day
no I know
but I just think
sometimes you feel like
it should be
a certain way
and if it's not
it's a bit like
if you've got expectations
then yeah
my birthday
being the 23rd of January I have no expectations no but you always have a lot like you always have
a lovely time yeah no I do a lot but we've had also a lot of people generally don't want to do
anything I say that it's me making that assumption because you feel bad yeah yeah yeah um and also
we've had some shockers remember when we we went to London and it was like dead.
We just were like walking around London.
Oh, was that when we went to go swingers?
Yeah, it was just like nothing was there.
It was just dead everywhere you went.
Just mocktails.
And also I was saying today, people don't like going out anymore.
No, it's true.
So we're going to do a little girly night.
And one of the girls was like, I'll just host a little thing at mine.
Yeah.
And I'm like, yeah, that's lovely.
Because wasn't it when we went to...
No, when was it we went out locally and we were the only people in there?
Yeah, and then we drove...
No?
No.
Where?
When?
How long ago?
I don't know if it was for your birthday.
Oh.
But we all went out.
Oh, yeah, it was my birthday.
We went to where?
On a Friday night, yeah, in Ware.
We were the only people in this place.
Yeah, it was mad.
For the whole night.
And I think one other group come in.
And we were saying, you must be, you're open.
You must be losing money.
So when, you might as well just be, like you say, at home.
And that's it.
So I was like, yeah, I'd much rather do that.
Have a night in
play a few games
yeah lovely
people don't like going out
anymore do they
no
well I certainly don't
well I think times change as well
when you've got kids
and stuff
I do
no I like going out
but we like doing nice dinners
yeah
a dinner
of course we're going out
Saturday night
what I mean is
it's just a different
like going to a bar for drinks
I'd rather be at someone's house
playing
a nice Saturday night with a nice for drinks I'd rather be at someone's house playing Saturday night
with a nice night
it was a lovely evening
honestly
going out
and standing in a bar
I just would never do it
I genuinely
just would not do that
no
I have no interest
no I don't mind
I'd go to a nice pub
I do like a pub
nice pub
but
yeah but there's bars
and then there's bars
yeah it depends if you've got a
nice table or whatever is different i mean standing up at a bar no absolutely not no it's not i'm just
not what are we animals no i wanted to talk to you about the socks you gifted me for Christmas. Absolutely love them. Go lovely with a boot.
But?
My feet stink.
Well, that's your problem.
No, I don't have smelly feet.
I sound like I smoke about 40 cigarettes a day.
Marie's ill again, everyone.
Shock horror.
Excuse me.
Right.
Can we just start?
Yeah.
That.
It's not nice.
What's that sweetheart
ill again
but it
it's true
but it's not my fault
if I went through
whatsapp
and saw
Maria
Merg
with ill
the word ill
would just
be like a reoccurring
would it overtake
wardrobes
no but
no
I know I am ill a lot
I am
but that's your immune system's down but why well yeah because that's not my fault No, but... Or shoe back. I know I am ill a lot. I am.
But that's not... Your immune system's down.
But why?
Well, yeah, because that's not my fault.
But also...
That's not my fault.
It's harsh to say that to people.
It makes me feel really shit.
It makes me feel guilty.
I feel guilty for being ill.
Well, that's stupid.
No, but you do.
And do you know what I've discovered is
I don't rest in... I don't let myself get better. Well, that's stupid. No, but you do. And do you know what I've discovered is I don't rest.
I don't let myself get better.
Well, that's the whole problem.
This is it, exactly.
So that's still working.
And the problem is because you can work from home, which is great.
Yeah.
But then you're not resting.
But that's the whole point.
So that's why I'm ill all the time.
Correct.
But I think you need to be aware of saying that to people.
Because I do.
I say it to people.
You're always ill. It's not a nice thing to say
it's not our fault
what can I do?
You're doing really well because Maria this week
I'm not sure if you saw it on Nats and Nieces
but she's decided
to get a box to put her vitamins in
which I used to have
which I used to have for my dad
when he was 82
so it was a blast from the past seeing the picture if I'm honest It's going well. Which I used to have for my dad when he was 82.
So it was a blast from the past, seeing the picture, if I'm honest.
I sent the photo to Mark and he's put, what did he say?
He's a weirdo, that bloke.
I sent it to him because I thought, oh, he's going to be so proud of me because we spoke about the old vitamin D.
And he put, aren't you a bit early in life to have one of those?
I am so confused.
Why have you sent me a photo of a pill box?
I said they're vitamins, you dope.
No, I do get it.
Yeah, but you do forget to take them.
It's great.
It's the best thing I have invested in.
Do you know what?
I nearly ordered one when I was pregnant
and to be fair, I didn't.
Just don't know why.
We're doing the old Bassett's vitamins
because they're good
the kids
oh the kids
yeah cracking
I've bought
every flavour
under the sun
yeah
went to Boots
on Saturday
with Alfie
he saw a new flavour
Apple and Blackcurrant
perfect
spat it out
I've got about
100 packets at home
excellent
and Ruby just smashes
the strawberry ones
down like they're sweets
but
I don't
take any vitamins. You were really good when you were
pregnant. Yeah I did. I took all the pregnant care.
What do you mean? Yeah just the one
No three. Oh.
Two of the big green ones and then there was
a yellow one. Oh I only took one. This is like the
pregnant care max. But I've got a
whole box spare and I've been trying to give them
away. Yeah. But then someone said to
me the other day that I should still just take them
because it's all just vitamins.
Well, absolutely.
It's just the folic acid.
Does it matter?
Yeah, but is that going to hurt?
I don't know.
But anyway, the good thing about this pill box is you can take,
when I go on holiday, I can take the little ones out.
Oh, that's amazing.
That's fantastic.
What has our life come to?
Oh, I'm trying here
I'm trying to get better
it's about good food
good sleep
I watched
Dragon's Den
last night
with Joe Wicks
on it
is he on the whole thing
no it was just
the first one
I just watched
the first one
I find him
really likeable
like I don't know
he just seems
so normal
but when he was like
I don't know
about the
dissolvable
vitamins or whatever,
and he says it's just down to good sleep, eating well, a bit of exercise.
And he is right.
I know it's boring, but we try and find miracle things,
but it's actually really basic stuff.
No, it's true.
We're lazy, so we hope for quick fixes.
No good.
But the vitamins won't.
Vitamin D, he said that's work for him this year.
No, I know, I for him and we don't
get a lot of sun
in this country
so
no
it's true
true say
the vitamin D
sorry just going
back to the socks
oh yeah sorry
yeah
because she doesn't
wash her feet
no no no
I promise you
no I've got to
let me just explain
because my feet
my socks
my shoes
trainers
never
I promise you my feet never ever smell my socks, my shoes, trainers, never.
I promise you, my feet never, ever smell.
My socks never smell nothing, but these bad boys.
What are they then?
Oh, you're gross.
What is that then?
Really? Let me have a sniff. I just think they're a little bit, they're not bad,
but for me, that's bad.
But is it the fabric?
They're not like a cotton?
Yeah, no, they're like a wool.
Oh, my days.
They don't smell.
Your feet are probably sweating in them
Lovely though
Kept me warm today
But are they different to my ones
Because these are a new version
I've not had these ones
They're really comfy
I really like them
Well you wanted to
Why don't you leave them in a boot
And send the boots back
Yeah I could do that
No
Who knows
But anyway there you go
But they're lovely
Really like them
Good I'm pleased you do
They just make my feet sweat a little bit
Because like you say
They're woolen Yeah But they're nice You said you them. Good. I'm pleased you do. They just make my feet sweat a little bit because, like you say, they're woolen.
Yeah.
But they're nice.
You said you wanted a thick, warm sock.
I did.
And I provided the goods.
You did.
I had an Ola as well, designer ones.
They weren't called designer ones.
Designer ones.
Oh.
Yeah, they're nice.
They're nice, aren't they?
Yeah, they are.
It's good, yeah.
Excellent.
I wear them every day.
What's this stain on your shoulder?
Oh, sick, obviously.
Probably some. Yeah. Sorry. It's this stain on your shoulder? Oh, sick, obviously.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Oh, sick.
A bit chander.
Yeah, just got quite a few down me, but I couldn't be bothered to get changed. No, fair enough.
Fair enough.
You know, why are you doing that?
They're not wool, are they?
No.
No, just cotton.
I didn't realise, yeah.
Oh, what, you didn't mean to buy them?
No, I did.
They're just the newer ones.
No, the reason I like them is I even like the little label on them.
Oh, that's what I thought, yeah.
They're not sporty, and they can go, when the boot's on, you can see the label.
Crack him.
Really nice.
Do you want to hear another cool car?
Here we go.
Yes.
The shoe rack.
Go for it.
It's not a rack.
Can we stop calling it a rack?
Shoe cupboard.
Cabinet.
Oh, God.
Shoe cabinet.
Item to put the shoes into to tidy the porch.
I know it's 2025 and we need to move on
no go for it
but I haven't
received my
refund
how long ago
we took
no that's bad
it's
it's
yeah
there are no words
how bad is that
it's appalling
I emailed them

give me my money because I can't where's my money give me my money bitch give me my money
because I can't
I haven't got the energy

that they'd received

no
nothing
perfect
what have you done
to your hand

that's a shame
how have you done that
oh on that bit on the rim around that sorry Burnt it. How bad is that? Show me. That's a shame. How have you done that?
Oh, on that bit on the rim.
It's all around that rim.
Sorry.
You need to take a photo. I must say burning yourself is one of the worst things in the world.
It's a horrible, horrible pain.
No?
Yeah. It blistered. I didn't mind it overnight. And then the skin ripped off again. Again. it's a horrible horrible pain no yeah
it blistered
I didn't mind it
and then the skin
ripped off
again
again
you love burning yourself
I've just got scars
all the way
the same scars
from the oven
when I was
do you remember
how old was I
probably about eight
yeah
dad was making a sauce
and it was a summer's day
and I was going to
one of my friends
birthday party
so I had like a
little strappy summer dress on yeah dad was doing the day and I was going to one of my friend's birthday party. So I had like a little strappy summer dress on.
Yeah.
Dad was doing the sauce and we always used to love, you know, the little tins of tomato puree.
Yes.
We used to always love like having a little bit of it.
So like we'd get it and I don't know, put your finger in, have a little bit.
And I went to do it.
Dad was there.
But before he could get to me, I picked up this little tin.
And it had boiling hot water in it.
And I jumped and I literally threw it all down me
because he would then put the boiling water in,
swish it around, but he didn't get to me quick enough
to say, don't do that.
Oh, my God, it was awful.
It's really bad.
My friends had bad burn accidents, hot waters.
Wasn't it with rice?
Yeah. It's really hot. Wasn't it with rice? Yeah.
It's really hot.
Yeah, it's not nice at all.
That's bad, the rice,
because it sticks to you.
Goodness.
But while she was seeing to one child,
she didn't realise the other one in the walker
had done that.
Yeah.
All three of them?
Two.
Two of them.
Yeah, it's awful, isn't it?
Yeah, it's not good.
And because she's got the scar, hasn't she,
which looks like it's all like bitty.
Oh, bitty.
It's more like rice.
Rice pattern.
Like rice grains.
It is, isn't it?
Well, no, it's just scarred.
It is scarred, but you...
Oh, because you think where the rice stuck to it?
Yeah.
But I don't think that was...
Oh, maybe.
I'm sure we've had that conversation.
Maybe.
I can't remember.
I mean, sounds good if that is the case.
I was going to say something else about hot water.
Now it's gone.
You should always have a hot water in the morning with a bit of lemon.
It should be one of the first things you drink.
Oh, I thought it was cold.
Wow.
I thought it was a cold glass of water.
No, hot water.
Let's get the old.
Why?
Hot water. Why? Drop a lemon in it. Why? Slice a lemon. Why? I don't know. It's of water. No, hot water. Let's get the old. Why? Hot water.
Why?
Drop a lemon in it.
Why?
Slice a lemon.
Why?
I don't know.
It's just meant to be good for you, isn't it?
Yeah, but again, all these things, it's a lot to think about.
They all contradict one another.
A glass of hot water with a bit of lemon's not a lot.
No, but then someone else would say cold,
and someone would say before you go to bed, do this,
and someone says at 11 o'clock, you've got to do this.
No, I know.
I agree.
Just get on with your life. Yeah. However you live live and if you want to wake up and have a coffee
feel your boots absolutely love coffee i've been doing my coffee with my keto cream i need that
can i have that i'm into tea these days more so than coffee interesting really enjoying a cup of
tea well i've gone the other way purely because of this keto cream and my divinia potato one that i
do you can have it with tea it's not the same you prefer it with coffee i tasted gone the other way purely because of this keto cream and my Davinia potato one that I do. You can have it with tea.
It's not the same.
You prefer it with coffee.
I tasted yours the other day.
It was nice.
It's lovely.
Well, today I went and popped into Ware to get some bits for dinner
and I hadn't had a coffee,
so I thought I'm going to go to the coffee shop and get a coffee
and I got an oat milk latte.
Did you enjoy it?
I did.
It's quite creamy, isn't it?
It's meant to not be that good for your oat milk
better off just having full fat milk absolutely great so what's the point or black no nothing
wrong with full fat you should drink full fat milk yeah it's better it's better than skimmed
yeah agreed all of that that's why we always drink that at home i only have blue milk
but that's because of the kids
yeah anyway just quickly i just wanted to touch on a couple of things from the last pod
sheree healy chelsea healy you meant that's who i meant yeah but we were talking about sherry
oh i know so i don't know why she was saying healy oh it was she she got that wrong fine
we understand i meant to say sediment not filament
we did understand that
just minutes after
just didn't come
yeah after we finished
we were like it's sediment
yeah
and then Mark liked to point that out
yeah
you said sled
not sledge
you can say sled
what's a sled
I don't know
sledge or a sleigh
not sled I don't know Iedge or a sleigh
not sled
I don't know
I feel like you can say sled
I've never heard sled
no
no I've just fucked it up
and the date night
was not just for indoors
I was right
she just said date night
did she
we could have gone
I'm sure she said indoors
we can fill your boots right up
can we
just go out for dinner
casino
cinema I said about swing it like the golf no can we? Just go out for dinner. Casino,
cinema,
swing it,
like the golf,
no,
the thing in London,
swingers,
swingers and golf,
the darts I went to was good.
Flight club.
No,
okay,
but yeah,
it was anywhere.
Alright,
all the best.
And also,
Aquarius is not a
water sign.
It's your star sign.
I knew that
and then Jackie texted me and in fact, let me,
should I read out Jackie's message?
What is it, an F sign?
Air.
Air, sorry.
So Jackie said, I've listened to today's pod.
At the risk of being more boring than usual,
just wanted to let you know that although Aquarius is depicted
as the water carrier, it is an air sign.
And I totally agree with you.
We are the best.
And then I must have apologised.
Jackie said, no need to apologise.
But I was like, I felt like a right knob.
No, because water sign is Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
I don't know.
Is that right?
I'm just saying, that's right, isn't it?
She never got back to me.
All right, I'm not dwelling on that. Just saying. No, I'm just, if't it? She never got back to me. All right, I'm not dwelling on that.
Just saying.
No, I'm just, if anyone knows her.
You got mugged up.
I don't know what I've done.
We were talking.
I sent her a message.
We can't even get the star signs right,
so she probably thinks that.
Yeah, I'm not going on there.
See ya.
She probably thought, no, no way on earth.
See ya, pal.
See ya, pals.
That was great, wasn't it?
I watched Happy Gilmore
last night
never seen it
it's such a good
film
have you not

him in it
I've seen
I remember did I make it. I've seen that.
I remember seeing... Did I make it up?
I just remember seeing sort of...
Adam Sandler.
Yeah, it's such a good film.
Have you watched 50 First Dates?
Yeah, look, he's in the Care Home.
Fair play.
Have you watched 50...
I'm not sure, you know.
Oh, my God.
I'm not sure that I have.
What, is it good?
It's the saddest
film I've ever
watched in my life
no it's good
it's Adam Sandler
it's humorous
but it's so

Perry Malone

possible isn't it?
My memory's really bad What's her name?

Let's play a game
Who am I?
Who am I?
Female?
Yeah
Blonde?
Yeah
Reese Witherspoon?
No
No, you've got to do more guesses
The other one
Lucy Kudrow
She said Jennifer Aniston
Cameron Diaz?
No
Over 50 I don't know Maybe now Pedro. She said Jennifer Aniston. Cameron Diaz. No.
Over 50.
I don't know.
Maybe now.
American?
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
What's her name?
No, I don't want you to tell us now.
Is she?
I don't know what else she's been in.
Well, this, I mean, we're asking questions,
so she doesn't even know who it is.
I do know. She's in quite a lot of films. I mean, you're asking me. she doesn't even know who it is. I do know.
She's in quite a lot of films. I mean, you're asking me, I probably won't know who she is.
Come on.
I don't watch films.
So you're asking the wrong person.
Woman, blonde.
Oh, Drew Barrymore.
Yes.
Thank you.
I don't know what she looks like, sorry.
Yeah, really good.
Yeah, good film.
Sad, really sad.
I don't know if it's meant to be sad is it it's horrific oh why someone dying it no it's just sad she loses her memory
it's amazing it's good it's very clever i didn't expect to be having convulsions it took me by
surprise i'll probably just be cracking up all the way through it. You'd be sobbing. I cry at his tenders, to be honest.
I cry at his tenders, I cry at anything.
You've got a bit emotional.
No.
In your old age.
No, I've always been emotional.
How's the baby?
He's good.
Yeah?
Yeah, he's at home.
A little trunca.
Sleeping through the night
he's so good
isn't he
so good
such a good boy
keep it up boy
no all good
started swimming
yeah
bless him
loved it
oh the thing you bought
the thing to cover up
the nappy
did it fit alright
because you were worried
it was too small
because you buy one of those
have to
oh I never did that
yeah it's a requirement
that they have two layers
so the poo don't
seep out
yeah
but no
the idea is
they're meant to be tight
but it was fine
he was fine in it
it's just a lot of layers
and you've got to put the thing on
aggravation
but they
to be honest
he doesn't even need a swim thing
so warm in there
they can't just go in in that
oh that's good
so I'll probably do that
I hope he does
oh bless you
but no yeah he loved it yeah he's a good boy that's good not much to report on that front

This is really great that everyone's sending Viennetta all the time.
The Viennetta story has been going on for how long?
Too long.
No, no, how long?
A long time.
Nine months?
Yeah.
I have not once been offered a piece of Viennetta in this house.
Never.
No. Why?
Why? Because there ain't none in the fridge.
Or the freezer.
There isn't any.
So why?
Because we were talking about the cost
of living one day. Right.
And Mark brought up the fact that you can still get
a decent viennetta and it hasn't changed.
Okay, fair enough.
People were loving that at the weekend
the old lure pack
£7.50
that's a joke
and the kids are
scraping it out
making
well my new
my new favourite
thing is
to just if nappies
are on offer
I get so excited
it's the best thing
how much are nappies
now?
today in Tesco
is on club card £8.50
down to £5.
Oh, that's good.
For that size pack.
Not the massive one.
What's that, like 70?
Oh, the 70 ones.
Is that right?
I don't know.
I used to buy,
I used to get two
for like £19 was it
or something?
Yeah, so two
for the big boxes.
The big boxes.
It's a lot of money.
Two for 20 quid.
But you're buying Pampers,
do you know what I mean?
No, I know,
but I get so excited when they're on offer.
I think, how many can I buy?
I just buy stuff on offer, just because it's on offer.
Always.
Prime example of a shopper, naive shopper.
Always.
Hey, me.
Just buy stuff that's on offer.
Yeah, Audi price match, club card, put it in the bag.
Get it in your bag.
But do you need it?
Don't know.
Maybe.
No, I wouldn't buy something completely random.
No.
I'll buy like a couple.
Oh, you think, oh, they're an offer.
I'll grab them.
Alfie likes those Foxy's chocolate round ones.
Oh, yeah.
In Asda.
They were a pound the other day.
Did I get them?
Might have done.
Then I go in Tesco's.
They're a pound usually on Clubcard.
£2.75.
I'm not buying them
yes
no I know
I'm not a fool
but this is why
you have to stock up
I know but I've only got
so much room
in my cupboards
no I appreciate that
and then they smash them out
a whole pack in
five minutes
that annoys me
and also
you've got to look at dates
all very well
saying stock up
some of these things
haven't got good
expiry dates on them
but I didn't know
butter went out of date that is the new one sorry sorry a dairy product you didn't know
it lasts a long time long time yeah it does last a long time so it doesn't last a long time gone
watermelon does it not no no i find at the moment that any melon or any fruit. You shouldn't really buy it, should you now?
But any fruit is not very good.
Everything goes off.
I bought some peaches the other day.
They're actually better now they've gone off, I think.
They were really hard.
You need them to grow.
But I think they're off.
The date is off, but I had one today.
Beautiful.
I do find you should be buying things that are in season.
I know, but then it annoys me it's there.
No, I know.
Just don't have it.
No, I know.
It shouldn't be there.
I agree.
Why is it there?
Well, no, you wouldn't be saying that if you couldn't get cucumbers for four months of the year
because your kids would lose their mind.
What would I do?
Well, there you go.
Exactly.
I'd have to grow them myself.
How's the pepper getting on?
There's no peppers there, but it's still there.
What?
No, we got some good little peppers off of it.
What?
Could I eat them, do you reckon?
What, are they still there?
No, they've rotten.
They're dead.
Oh, that's a shame.
It only took over a year, but it's all right.
But the plant's still there.
I think once there's a bit of sun on it, they'll come back.
I need to plant it in the garden.
Yeah, do it.
You must do that.
Yeah, I will.
I put like two seeds in
with Alfie one day
he was desperate
to try and do the herb garden
yes
and he was getting in the way
so I said come here
let's do our own little one
yeah
and blimey
this thing has grown out of nowhere
oh it's brilliant
unbelievable
do I plant it
in the
bed
oh not in the
pot
in the herb garden
in the herb garden
no do it in the bed
well it depends what's in the herb garden at the moment nothing oh if there's nothing in there put it in the... Pot? In the herb garden. In the herb garden. No, do it in the bed. Well, it depends what's in the herb garden at the moment.
Nothing.
Oh, if there's nothing in there, put it in the planter.
Can I put herbs in there as well?
You could do, yeah.
You just don't want it to strangle the pepper,
so I wouldn't put mint in or...
Some of them are a bit mad.
They go a bit crazy, don't they?
How often do you use the herbs from your herb garden
that you plant every year?
Rosemary's there.
I mean, I've got so much rosemary
around my house.
They die.
They die.
Just put your pepper in there
and be done with it.
I know, but I would like some coriander,
some basil, some rosemary.
Why don't you...
Ellie is doing a big planter of coriander
this year, she told me.
Massive one.
Oh, that's the pits.
Oh, I love it.
I really got into it.
I don't get that.
It's wild.
Lovely.
I think you could educate yourself. No. I hate it. Isn't it funny? I love a little I really got into it. I don't get that. It's wild. Lovely. I think you could educate yourself.
No.
I hate it.
Isn't it funny?
I hate it.
Because I love a little bit of cilantro.
No, I hate it.
I'm really bad.
Is it actually the thing of the carrot?
Sorry.
I know what you're saying.
No, it's not.
It isn't.
Is it?
No.
Why are you looking?
I'm sure it is.
No, it isn't. That's just No. Why are you looking? I'm sure it is. No, it isn't.
No, it's not.
That's just greenery.
So you're saying...
Are you going to speak or are you just...
Why are you doing...
So if I go into Pierce's and I buy the big fresh carrots,
Pierce's is a farm shop near us,
so I get the carrots with all the big green stuff on the tops,
the carrot tops.
You're telling me that's coriander.
You're crazy. Carrot and coriander. It is not coriander. Itot tops. You're telling me that's coriander. You're crazy.
Carrot and coriander.
It is not coriander.
It might be.
That is just absolutely ridiculous.
I think it might be.
Are you both Googling?
No, why should you look at that?
Go on then.
Parsley.
Oh, same thing.
It's parsley.
I never knew that.
There you go.
I thought it was just greens.
Bollocks.
Carrots, parsley, cilantro and dill are all in the same
botanical family
and we know that
alright
I'm just telling you
alright so it's
I was close
carrot greens
make an excellent
and tasty substitute
for parsley
I was going to say
what are you talking
I'm actually being
drawn in here
they're herbs
what herb
is the top of carrots
I'm sounding like
a fucking knobhead
and I get dragged into it.
Okay, use carrot tops anywhere you would normally...
Oh.
It says parsley.
It says parsley.
It's parsley.
And then it says, use it like parsley.
Fine.
So maybe it's not actually parsley.
It's fine.
But you should use it.
It's green.
Chuck it in your salad.
Usable.
I reckon you could put it in like a stew.
I think you could put it in a
bit of a stew or what have you thank you um let's have a little listen to this good morning nat it's
denise from holbridge denise denise i just had to quickly message i've just popped into local co-op
to get some coffee pods and your pet peeve lady young lady in front of me,
rushing out and clearly didn't have any children with her.
And she's taken the only mother and baby space in the little co-op car park.
And there's another lady struggling to get her buggy or, you know,
the car seat out of a car because she's squashed in a tiny space.
So I just had to let you know because car seat out of a car because she's squashed in a tiny space so i just
had to let you know because it really annoys me too anyway can't wait to catch up with the pod
later when i'm doing the dog walk starting work now so love you bye oh fuming that give that
actually fills me with rage it's just so lazy and so inconsiderate it's and i just don't get i've had so many rows
i can't tell you we can imagine no because sometimes i do butt my lip but the other times
i have to say something the other day i was in tesco's parked the car lovely was waiting for my
friend and just watched a guy in a whole Tesco's uniform park his car
in the parent and child.
So he was going to also be there
for quite a significant amount.
Surely not.
I promise you on my life,
promise you.
What did you say?
I didn't say anything to him
because I thought,
do you know what,
I'm not going to,
but I just stared at him.
I think you didn't say anything
if I was your psychotherapist
because he's in his uniform.
No.
You'd be scared to see him
in the shop when you went in.
Absolutely not because I'll go and find his manager and you'd be scared to see him in the shop when you went in absolutely not
because I'll go find
his manager
and I'll tell her and all
or him
the other day
I tried to park
in Sainsbury's
for about
25 minutes
and then a guy
got out of his car
watched him
park
get out of the car
and I was raging
so I wound the window down
and I said
where are your kids he said they're
inside the fucking shop mind your own business I said okay so you've got it you've parked your car
and your two children are just in the shop so they're not kids are they they're probably like
18 or something what do you mean but and fair enough look I don't know he might have been
picking them up from a grandparent,
but I was raging that I couldn't park the car and he just got the worst of me.
It's just not on.
Gave it back, though.
It's not on.
It isn't on.
You can't get the car seat out of the car.
I do also think, I know we've discussed it,
but I do think they're greedy and they put too many spaces in.
They just need to make all spaces.
I know, but i'm just not
enough parent and and people just don't like a lot of people do but someone today in the post office
she sort of like tried to open the door for me but she couldn't really be bothered and i'm really
struggling to get it in i'd rather you not do it then because you've just annoyed me now you just
and then walked off and like the door's half open. Yeah, I find there are a lot of people that are just very miserable.
Grumpy.
But even in the shop, so if I'm with Ruby and Alfie, bless them,
they want to help.
They're trying to carry the basket together.
It's annoying, I get it.
I'm constantly like, mind out the way.
Get out the way.
Get out the way, Troy.
No, no, no.
Some people literally are fuming. Yeah. I'm like like, mind out the way, get out the way, get out the way, no, no, no. Some people literally are fuming.
Yeah.
I'm like,
I've just got two children.
I can't always come out on my own.
I can't leave my kids at home.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm just shopping.
People have got no patience.
No patience.
I'm like, okay.
Yeah, but I have that.
If I'm looking at something
and the pram's in the way
and I go, oh, sorry,
and they just sort of look
and I think,
what do you want me to do yeah
people are just miserable
yeah
I'm one of them
that's not
that's not all of the listeners
by the way
we're not branding you miserable
well we don't know
no I'm joking
no but
people just
no I just don't think
it takes any effort
to give a smile
or say
good morning
or thank you
or hold a door open.
I said good morning to a lovely older couple the other day outside Tesco.
They said good morning, dear.
They were very good.
I love that.
Some old people are well cute.
And they actually address the children more as well.
Yeah, that's nice.
Always look like an old woman looking in the pram.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
It's a funny old world.
It is.
I play a game sometimes.
If I need to go to a shop and I just think to myself, do you know what?
If there's a space, it's meant to be, and I'm going in.
If there's not, I'm leaving.
I do that.
Do you?
Yeah.
I did it.
When was it on?
Yesterday.
I thought, do I go Tesco's?
And I couldn't be bothered to park in the actual car park
you know you've got them bays
the one near me
oh really
you were really testing
so I thought
do you know what
if there's a
if a bay's free
I'll go
if not it's not meant to be
and I'll go Asda
literally
drove a car
come out
and I went in
see meant to be
so good
I feel like
I'm quite a lucky
I'm quite lucky with parking
oh yeah
you like always get a cheeky space
always
but I have got patience, I will drive around a couple of times
I mean the patience I had at Christmas around Brookfield
oh my god
I've never experienced anything like
I'll never do that again
I have to say that Christmas parking
I feel like it wasn't that busy this year
when was I there though?
Christmas Eve was it or the day before? maybe I don't remember wasn't that busy this year when did I when was I there though Christmas Eve was it or the day before
maybe
just yeah
and the
I don't remember
the parent child thing
they were literally just row
like people were just waiting
oh
it was crazy
I mean I did
yeah I was patient
I got one in the end
but it was nuts
let's have a listen to this
hey Nat
it's Claire from Swanley here
I am just sitting in Swanley Park on my morning walk.
I've just had my hot chocolate and sausage sandwich.
I'm watching the ducks.
Lovely.
I'm sitting on Linda's bench.
I don't know who Linda is, but her family have put a bench here.
So I always think I'd have a little sit with Linda and just send a little thought out to her.
I'm just listening to your episode on my walk.
I'm just like, I've been heavily catching up with the podcast,
been listening from day one, but fell behind a bit.
But I've just caught up with the most recent Nats Nises episode.
Oh my God, I love you girls.
You're hilarious.
But you were saying about photographs.
You were mentioning about photographs and how you like the ones that,
you know, people aren't aware they're having their pictures taken
and they're the most natural ones.
But do you know what I find is really sad is
that people don't do that anymore because everything's taken on phones or it's selfies
or it's posed and pouted and kind of filtered and I just think those old school photographs
that we've all grown up with they're going to be a thing of the past and I find that really sad
that people aren't going to have those kind of albums and photographs up everywhere um
yeah it was just something I was pondering what do you think about that like do you encourage that people aren't going to have those kind of albums and photographs up everywhere.
Yeah, it was just something I was pondering.
What do you think about that?
Do you encourage your girls to take these kind of photographs and do you make photo books up and stuff?
Anyway, I'm going to keep listening now
and watching The Ducks and the Mutant Swans on Swanley Park.
I'll speak to you soon, hopefully. Bye.
Sounds beautiful. Where's Swanley Park?
It's where
Mark and his dad
there was a railway there
so that's where
Mark's love of steam engines
started
which is why
Kentway
Kent
yeah Swanley
oh nice
but she likes to tell me
she's in Swanley Park
and it reminds her of
so
what I would say is
you're right
I don't make the girls
do that
I need to really get out
the old pictures
and show them the pictures
I know it's just different times
it's a really good point
because I was looking at some of the photos
we could bring it back
just bring back doing the photos
we say can you take a photo of me
someone takes it you look at it you go it's disgusting let's just do a selfie
I look at Christmas
and some lovely photos of us all
but I'm literally in the same position the whole time
because I'm always taking the photo.
I know, but that's because you don't like other people taking your photo.
Because people go, I can't do it, I can't do it.
I mean, I do take quite a lot of photos of, you know,
like if Jack's just laying with the baby or something,
I'll just take a photo.
Yeah, but no one ever does it.
I bet you've not got many like that.
Yeah, Jack does take a lot.
Yeah.
We've got loads of photos
he does take quite a lot that's good yeah that is good but yeah but even us as kids or growing up
we used to spend hours we'd get all mum's photo albums out and we'd just look through them
watch home video we used to love that well i have to say the kids love watching any kind of videos
i found over christmas some school plays of Eliza's.
Yeah, she was sending me some.
She loves old photos and videos.
She's obsessed with old photos and videos.
Oh, that's being in the past, all the nativities and stuff.
You're not allowed to film them.
No, but they do a DVD.
Don't do that.
Not allowed.
Eh?
No.
Don't do it anymore.
Nothing.
But all my girls, well, some of my girls sent me videos of their girls,
so they're allowed to video it.
Really?
Our school's like, no.
I think it's no videos, but people still video.
No, I didn't see one person videoing.
Well, I like that because you're never in the moment.
You're never watching the assembly or watching the play.
Everyone's got a phone out.
I find it bamboozling.
I've never got mine out.
I'm videoing all songs at a concert that you never look back on mad but why do it i don't know
why people do that i've done it for you yeah i know i i do it i'm not like when i videoed
the fireworks when we were in ibiza mel was like what are you doing and videoing all these fireworks
she's like you're never gonna look at them was that when we saw a reachy uh because he's dead
now yeah that's quite a nice moment that you captured.
For fuck's sake.
Just quickly, the lack of refund.
Not much of a reaction.
I think, to be honest, I'm glad that the whole thing is sort of put to bed.
It's not, is it?
Because I haven't got my money back
and I've still got to order chairs from them.
Yeah, but that you can't do.
But what do I do?
I have to.
I've only got two.
I need another two.
She needs the chairs.
Oh, I see.
They've got me by the short and curlies.
Oh, I don't know what to say.
That's mad though, they've stolen my money.
I have no goods.
Yeah, but if you haven't had a proof of return, that worries me.
But then someone physically came to pick it up, right?
Yes.
And you've got 100 photos, because all you do is take photos and videos of these poor
delivery people.
Anyway.
They're photos from the past.
They're not posing.
Those delivery men their memories
don't guys
it's really bad
this is
my email
I'm such a dick
yeah no confirmation
all the best
he probably got so annoyed
he probably just dumped it
down the end of the road
I don't
I need that money
I need to order another one
anyway
the bed
what's the bed
what are you talking about
so obviously I had all my headboard done right and I thought of it I thought to myself this morning about my bed
never looks nice made and then I was on Instagram and they'd like shared a story and I clicked on it
and it's this house that's had their headboard done yeah and it all looks beautiful or my bed never looks like that how do people get their bed made and it looks
it's a skill no because you need to get the cushions and all that no no but even when i've
when i've slept on it it's increased it doesn't look nice i know what you mean yeah so i'm sorry
that no one's bed can look like that my cleaner is the only person that can do it and I don't get it. I can do mine
with time but I do something weird
don't I Maria? You do lots
of weird things. No but with the bed
making you can't believe it.
Mine's very up
so at the end
of my bed I don't have my duvet
hanging down.
So you have the bed sheet hanging
you can see the end of the bed
her duvet
she puts it right up
to the headboard
so then the end of it
is like
flat on the
yeah that's awful
the pillow
I've started pulling it down
thank god for that
I think your voice
is in my head
when I make the bed now
and then she pulls it down
so far
you can't see the
fucking thing
that sticks out
so every time you walk
in the room
you smash your leg
in fact that bed
you need a new bed
because it's so bad
I can't wait to get new
that is so odd though
where did you learn to do that
I don't know
you've got to have a bit
but I'm saying
tight
Maria does it all
tight
fitted
it looks like a showroom
you're not sleeping on that
and making that bed
look like that again
but what's on top of it
yeah your mum makes a bed like that
yeah my mum can make a bed
I don't get it.
So now, basically, I, well, I have done for a long time.
I just, I don't even make the bed properly.
Do you fold it back?
Yeah, I do that.
And the bed.
Yeah, I do that.
And people think that's weird, but I like that.
No, no, I think that's good.
Bed bugs.
Yeah.
In the summer, especially, windows open.
And the bed.
Bish, bosh, bosh.
What?
Bish, bosh, bosh.
Bish.
A bish, a bosh, a bosh. A bish, a bosh bish bosh bosh a bish a bosh a bosh a bish a bosh a bosh
a bish a bosh
a bish a bish a bosh
I do it
do you air the bed
do you pour yours
yeah I do
I don't fucking make the bed
every time I go in there
the bed's not made
yeah there's loads of times
that blows my mind
if in the morning
well can I
not be rude
maybe an argument maybe brewing but if I leave the house in the morning well can I not be rude maybe an argument
maybe brewing
but if I leave the house
in a rush
then I've not made it
but if Mark's in it
but some days
he makes a bed
better than me
yeah I can imagine
he makes a bed
like a hotel bed
he does a good bed
but some days
yes some days
the bed's made
some days it ain't
I'd hate to get in the bed
that's unmade
no
but a lot of
yeah you'd
I'd come home
I'd make the bed before I would not get in an unmade bed but some people don't make the bed no I knowmade no but a lot of yeah you'd I'd come home I'd make the bed
before I would not
get in an unmade bed
but some people
don't make the bed
no I know
what do you mean
what do they do
just leave it
they can't
yeah they do
loads of people do
yeah
but
what do you mean
they get out the bed
and just leave
and leave it
and then get back
in it again
that to me
I could never it's like once the bed do the number I don't believe it. And then get back in it again. That, to me, I could never.
It's like once the bed, do the number.
I don't know it.
0-7-7-8-20-19-19.
Do you make your bed?
Every day.
I have to say, there's nothing in it.
It doesn't matter.
Whatever you want.
Do you make your bed?
Don't you make your bed?
And when do you change your bed?
I've got something to tell you.
I've got something to tell you. I've spoken about this, spoken about this i think every two weeks yeah well i'll tell you
what it wasn't you don't it wasn't i do usually but it wasn't your phil fuck yeah it really wasn't
she's so christmas the kids beds mine i changed oh the are changed. Oh, the kids' I don't change. The kids'.
I think it was nearly a month.
Oh, yeah, the kids', that's all right.
Why?
They don't.
Well, my kids do sweat, actually.
No.
Milk.
No.
That's all right.
Bad, isn't it?
Two weeks, guys.
Oh, not the kids'.
Mine, yeah, but not the kids'.
No.
Should be every two weeks.
It should be every two weeks. should be every two weeks as well definitely
well they're in it every night aren't they they're not getting into bed filthy though
no they have a bath before bed it's like the feet thing every two weeks but yeah my bed will never
i've got all new bed linen yeah but can i just say something about your room at the moment you
do have quite a large object next to the bed,
so you can't really make the bed.
No, that is true.
You can't physically...
But I could pull the snooze pod out and do it.
Yes, you could.
But it still doesn't look how I want it to look.
It doesn't look clean.
You should steam.
Yeah, I've got so much time to steam it.
What else are you doing?
No, I've just about got time to make the bed in the morning
when he's hungry and whatever.
But no, it will never look like that.
But it's all right.
It's okay.
Just a load of pillows to cover it.
Yeah, but then who can be bothered?
Then you've got to take all them pillows off the bed.
Cushions, not pillows.
Take them off every night.
Nah, not for me.
It's like the houses you see on Instagram and the lounges.
There's 28 blankets folded up on a sofa.
And I think, how do you sit on the sofa then?
Do they take them all off after?
Yes.
Or is that just for photos?
I just wonder.
And all the cushions.
All the cushions.
All the ones like that.
I've got 15,000 cushions.
But it's the back, isn't it?
But they are all like, feathers all coming out of them.
Yeah, so.
It's just for Instagram, isn't it? And I'm all like, feathers all coming out of them, yeah, so. It's just for Instagram, isn't it?
And I'm sure it doesn't look like that all the time.
No.
Tell you what, though,
I do need to do my wardrobes out.
I'm joking.
You're not joking, are you?
No, I'm not.
She's not.
She said it's Sunday,
I'm going to go home and do my wardrobes.
Did she?
Did she?
And did you do them?
No.
No.
I said, I don't get it.
I don't know what's in the wardrobes.
I've got to show you my wardrobe.
Oh, God.
No.
Hang on a sec.
What do you mean?
You're going to be so proud.
You know I've got my Christmas decks in here.
I don't know what that is there.
What is...
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
For the purposes of the pod, tell me what I'm doing.
Sorry.
She's revealed behind the curtain, sliding wardrobe.
Which has always been there.
Well, it's been in there, though.
I've got my Christmas decorations.
Yeah.
Right.
Mark's packed them away so nicely.
Yeah.
I've got all my coats here now.
Beautiful.
Well done.
Stunning.
Yeah, well, everything was just chucked in there.
Yeah.
Yeah, you, yeah, this is the thing.
Right, I know, I know, I know, I know.
I'm that guy, sorry.
I bet you miss me.
I understand.
But what I'm saying is once it's organised, you create more room.
Yes, you do.
That's what I need to do because I've got still Christmas,
the kids' toys, boxes stacked.
Yeah, but by the time you do that, you'll be organising something else.
We did all cupboards out and I feel like they all need doing again downstairs.
Yeah, it's impossible.
Well, I paid someone £100 or whatever it was to come around and do them.
£100?
Absolutely pointless.
And the rest?
Maybe it was more.
Pointless exercise for me.
Told you.
Not necessary.
No.
Waste of money for me.
Because things don't stay as they...
They just don't stay as they are.
Oh, mine have stayed where they are. Yeah, no, mine haven haven't and i'd rather just do that when i've got time myself
it's hard isn't it yeah yeah with kids and stuff as well yeah and also i just think let kids be
kids i'm so getting more and more relaxed i just think they've got to play they've got to play with
stuff they should have things out all these things get bought and i'm hiding them and tucking them
away if the leg goes out
the leg goes out
she's playing with it
if she wants a puzzle out
like
and you've got the space
it's not like
in four years time
she's not going to like any of it
everything's going to be gone
there's going to be no toys left
and I'll think
oh remember that
she had all those toys
that I never let her play with
that's mad though
you're coming up to the stage
where you will never have toys
well I will
because I'll keep
some for your children
so hold on
where are we at
this year
nine
yeah
she'll still have toys
but I'm saying
the next few years
it's a big
big clear out
stage
you'll still have bits
but
yeah
mad
I've loads of room
in cupboards though
yeah lovely
and then I'm just
mine's all going to start
My corner's already
Been taken over
I mean my house has taken over
It's crazy
But
Yeah like you say
Look how quickly the time goes
And then
And then that's it
Then it'll be
Fly in the nest and
Oh god
I don't think about that
Jesus
Are they?
Nah they're not going anywhere
Where are they going?
Nah hopefully not
they'll be staying around
hopefully
yeah
100%
oh no
oh god
what's she done now?
dropped my phone
we had a nice evening
Saturday didn't we?
yeah we had a really nice time
oh yeah it was lovely
no you went there
I know
we got a bit drunk
didn't we?
we did
we had a good time we had a little listen to some music we had a bit drunk, didn't we? We did.
We had a good time.
We had a little listen to some music. Music.
We had a little boogie, didn't we, in the lounge?
Boogie?
You did.
I had a boogie.
And it went very random, didn't it?
We were playing Italian songs.
Yeah, I can't remember.
I can't believe no one called me for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Well, no one phoned a friend, bar me.
And you didn't call me?
No, I called Jimbo and he fucked it right up.
We played The Traitors.
Was that good?
No, not the board game.
Joni just wanted us to be traitors for the whole evening.
And it was quite funny to me.
Everyone thought I was one and I wasn't.
Mark turned against me right at the last minute.
That's brilliant.
Very good.
But I feel we were saying.
Oh, please explain this because I think we've got to do it.
I'm going to explain it to you.
I feel we could, as a family.
Do it.
Play it, but over a six-week period.
How?
So I'll be Claudia.
Of course.
Obsessed.
Obviously.
But I can text who's a traitor or who's a faithful.
Yeah.
But we can do missions.
Like, for instance, I said I could text Dominic and say,
within the next three days, you need to drop something round to Maria's randomly.
And I need to know you've done that.
Or mention a sentence.
Yeah, but I'm going to know.
But I can come up
with things
no you won't know
because Dom never
comes around and
drops things off
randomly
no but I'm just
as a you know
yeah but it might be
and Lisa's asked me
to do it
alright I'll do it
and then but you
need to tell the
traitors who
that's good
you need to tell
so then the traitors
have to meet
or whether that's
no or they do a
FaceTime with me
that's good and then we have to find and we have to ban have to meet or whether that's a FaceTime. No, they do a FaceTime with me. Oh, yeah, that's good.
And then we have to find...
Yes, let's do it.
And we have to banish.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
But we can make our own one up.
All right, let's do it.
We can apply now for the traitors.
You need to apply, you two.
Yeah, you...
No, I can't do it.
I can't.
Oh, no, you can't.
I'd be so bad at it.
Yeah, but also, it's three weeks away from home.
Happy days.
Yeah, you do it.
You could...
I think you should do it.
I'm trying to get my mate
To do it with me
Well you're not both
Going to get on are you
Yeah we will
As friends
That's the whole
That's the whole point
No
The whole
Little different thing
Because they had sisters this year
Yeah I think you should do it
I wouldn't be any good
I can
Do you think I'd be good though
Yeah
Yeah
I think you'd be good yeah
I'd have to be a traitor though
Wouldn't I
Well either I think you'd be good I think it'd be boring though if not being a traitor no not
necessarily i'd get the ump though if i didn't plug in it again but i did a traitor special this
morning it was out yesterday guys off the telly paul gorton had a little chat with tyler on the
phone just saying it's a cracking episode if you like the traitors it's good though isn't it yeah
i love it really good absolutely love it just really don't have a gap between them no i can't abide it it's wrong it's all wrong
but i think we should do that i think as a fat and we can report back how we're getting on can
i just say that jen bought me and mark and the girls a family present i will show you it later
it's called served and it's a card game So you get two packs of cards in the pack
And you tell each other
How long you're playing for
So again, a month, six months, a year
And you're not allowed to look at each other's pack of cards
The kids get a pack
We get a pack
And in the cards it will say
No telly today
Or got to go to bed early So so like parent things yeah and then they'll get
drive-through day or and you can play your car you have to play your cards and you have to do it
that's brilliant yeah it looks really really good we haven't started it yet that's really good i'll
show you the cards it's really good there's a i I saw something on TikTok about, so you know they're doing like the cube and all of those things,
but there's actually like a game show.
The traitors?
No.
Oh, no, just like a quiz.
Like you'll stand in a circle.
You can do like a music quiz or you can do like interactive.
Like a live experience.
Oh, a live experience.
That's good.
You should do that.
There's the traitors live.
What does that mean?
You can go, like you can do the Cube And Monopoly
You can do the Traitors
Oh can you?
I'd love that
Why don't we do it?
We should
Should have done that for your birthday
I know I just thought that
Why don't we do a Games Night special?
I'd really like to do a Games Night special
In what respect?
We just play
We pick a game
Maybe the viewers
The listeners can tell us
what game
we could do a live
like pub quiz
and everyone could get involved
that's a really good idea
or what you do
sorry I'm thinking
on my feet here guys
you've got to just
bear with me
bear with
but we could
tell them what game
we're going to play
and do a play along

All the very best to you.
No, pub quiz.
