Hello, we're back, people, with a brand new episode of Mums the Word. I'm Georgia Jones. And I'm Kelsey Parker. Today we chat about Kelsey's new addition to the family, Storm. Oh, I'm so excited. And we also speak about children's faulty before 40 list. Oh, it's getting close, Cal. Again, another.

So grab a comfort. Get comfy. And let's jump in to a brand new episode of Mums the Word. So, Cal's, I'm 39 now. I tell her 39 two days ago. Did you? Yes. Having birthday, you're 39.

I'm 39, Cal's. You've got one more year until you thought, 40. One more, 40? I have got one more year until I'm 40. What are you going to do? Well, so I'm making a list. So I've talked about it. that Kim Kardashian said and Chloe and the Kardashian said like 40 is like,

oh no, I think it was Chloe. She's like 40 is the best. Is Chloe Kardashian 40? Yeah. Is she? Yeah, she had that whole like. Well, I mean, I'd look like she looked if I'd had that much work, don't it? Yeah, you do.

You look better. You look better, girl. Thanks, darling. So I'm creating a list. And I know you're going to ask me what's on it, but actually I haven't done it yet. I've basically said. So you've got the thought of creating. in a list, 40 before 40.

Is there only thing you feel like you haven't done? Loads. Like what? Like places I want to go to. Yeah. That I've not been to. Activities. Like an activity like...

Such as... Well, I used to horse ride. This is the one I am sure on. So I want to start back. Even if I just do it like once a month. Yeah. Because I did it the other day. I went to this event.

I saw. And I did. I had a little canter and everything. And just brought a little bit of life back into my... When did you stop horse riding? When I was probably about 14. Yeah, I stopped. I stopped at 12.

Did you? I started riding when I was 18 months old. Did you? Yes. Oh, I didn't start that early. My mum took Sammy and then she said, all I used to do is stand there and go, I want to go on, I want to go on. And then in the end she went, just get her on a horse. And I started all riding at 18 months.

Should we do a podcast from the stables? Kelsey and Georgia did you? I don't know. I feel like I've got, not I'd have the fear now to go on a horse. Well, that's the thing, though. Did you get scared? Yeah, I was a bit nervous. I was like, oh, God, the last time I was on a horse.

Everything's a bit more stiff, isn't it? Yeah. And you just feel a lot higher up as well. I don't know why. Did your nunny hurt after? Oh my God. Did my nunny hurt? Jesus Christ.

I was like, what's happened? Can barely walk. It's like, yeah, but it's the same if you ride a bike. It's that. It's your bone. It's like your, what? Not even your pubic bone. It's a bit underneath.

Where the baby comes out. Yeah, just kills. That's, that up. That ball. That's why if you do cycling, you have to wear your pads on, yeah, the padded. Oh my God, man. Imagine if I turn up to horse riding, like with a full-on padded, padded cycling shorts on. It probably is a thing.

It probably is a thing. It maybe is. But yeah, yeah. So you're going to horse ride once a man. I really want to see the northern lights, but then, so people have put me off that because they've said it's one of those things that is better if you just take a photo of it. You can't really see them to the naked eye that well. You more need to take a photo. I was like, oh, that kind of just.

That's weird because obviously when you take a picture of the moon, it never looks as good as when you actually visually see the moon. It doesn't, does it? But then if you think about like a sun's... That would I'm out of praying to the moon. I mean, when Kelsey's doing it, putting a moon water out. Wasn't it a full moon recently? It was a full moon.

Someone did tell me it could have been you. I don't know who took because I said, God, I feel really. I'm so tired. At K-2K, when there's a full moon, you can tell by the kids. Can you actually? We will have so many breakdowns, tears and. you're like, me and Kelsey go around and go, it's a full moon, it's a full moon, children, parents. This is why your children misbehaving.

You'll be really proud of me, actually. Just before, when, before you got here and I was chatting to Dom, I got very distracted because I saw 11-11-11 on my phone, so I had to make a wish. And not in this podcast, but this is the 11-11 portal today, so you were meant to see that. What's that meant? What? This is the portal. It's 11-11. You saw 11-11 at 11-11. So you need to let go of what no longer serves you. Oh, my God. You need to have some gratitude you need to focus and do your 40 40 list oh my god it was meant to be yeah if you saw 11 11 11 that is meant to be today wow but this isn't because this podcast is going out on the 8th of it today it is actually the 8th of December not the 11th of the 11th we're really confusing everyone

right well I mean I'm not as much of a believer as you are Kels but when you tell me things like that and I've just seen that then I'm off are it yeah and you'll see it today for a reason. There was a reason. What are you going to let go of, George? What's, what your... Oh, I don't know. What no longer serves you? You need to put it in the past. Let it go. God, I need to have a think. That's it. Got a lot to think about. I really do. I've got a whole little bit. She's going to send me a whole, like, Chelsea, this is what I've been doing. If anyone, if anyone can send in some suggestions, have you got anything you would do? You're not quite as old as me, though, are you?

No, I've got a few more years. You've got a few more years. A few more, George, but I'm close to you. If you do have a year to do farty things before you farted. Do you know what? I feel like I have lived quite a life. Shit, I mean, she has lived alive. Also, you're one of those people who go, they'll be like, you don't need to put a time limit on it, Joom. Just do it whenever you want to do it.

Yeah, and also, even with places, like, I feel like I'm so fortunate that I've been to amazing, incredible places. Yeah. So there's nothing really on my bucket list there. But what about learning, like, a new skill? Like, um. Children, I have not got time. I honestly do not have time for a hobby, a skill, or anything like that.

Maybe, maybe. I would love to. Maybe I should just do four before 40. I would love to go horse riding again and do that. But honestly, I don't know how we'd actually fit that in. I know, but isn't it sad that? Like, because I was like. And should I tell you what my problem is with me?

God, you tell me. That I create stuff all the time and actually put more work for myself. I'm just always creating thinking, what am I going to do next? What's my next goal? What's my next vision? Because I have got a new goal that I'm working towards. I'm not going to tell us on this.

Oh, you tell me after. I'll tell you after that what I want to do. And I feel like I'm going to get there and do it. Are you manifested? I'm manifesting. But I feel like I put so much on me anyway. Maybe I do the, every year I go, right, I've got to do this list before. I just felt like, I think since becoming a mum, I know it's been seven years,

but you don't really, like you said, you're too, busy now you don't really think about yourself and what do I want in my life what would I like to achieve and what would I like to do with with my life I think it's hard when you do have kids like we always say it the monial I always laugh because it makes me think of Jay from I think I've said this before about like women getting together and just moaning like he used to say that about a certain TV show on ITV used to always make me laugh about women just getting together oh just having a Yeah, I know which program.

Yeah, so I feel like, like when I want to do something, it's so, I then have that mum guilt so bad. Like, I want to go away for a few days next week. And I think, I'm then starting wondering, well, Arrayi has been invited to a play date. Bodie's got a gymnastics thing and you just think, oh my God, then you can't move forward with your life because you have opted to have children

and I love my children. And I have to rely on someone else, do you know what I mean? I'm glad you told me that. because otherwise I'd have been really concerned the fact that you were taking some time out to yourself, Kelsey, you didn't love your children. I do love my children so much. I do love my children.

Oh, but if I leave, then I'm like, are they going to be okay? Of course they are. Of course they'll be okay. Well, no, probably not. But this is where we have to let the reins drop a little bit. Pardon the horse riding pun. Because things don't get done the way you expect them to.

Danny's back from talk house. How is it? Well, I mean, Dom went, Don went to me, you've been in much better mood the last few days. Yeah, because you're like, I'm not solo burning anymore.

Because I've got free time. I was here half an hour early girls. Half an hour. Dom, and yesterday I was here. Was I here an hour early yesterday? Dom, he's not in. I was, because... She is eager.

I just suddenly got this time that I didn't have. However... And is he like playing catch-up as well, like doing the school run for you? Well, in my mind. I saw that he made you a lovely dinner. that looked unreal last night.

Yes. Turkey meatballs and a pesto pasta. That's his thing cooking. I would be very grateful if I walked through the door. No, no, no. It's lovely. It was a very delicious meal. Don't get me wrong.

You enjoyed his balls, his meatballs. His meat balls. She's pretending that she slipped up on that, but she did that on purpose. No, however, what I am not allowing is for him, he's cooking to get him out of doing bedtime. because in the past he's gone I'll cook dinner

and then he's not had to do bedtime I'm like no no I've done bedtime for two and a half months I'm grateful for you cooking but you also need to put our child to bed as well please and then you can just sit and actually put your feet up for a second

yeah and I'm going away with my sister or I will have gone away with my sister actually when this podcast airs and that's for her 40th only for one night only for one night and I'm not beating myself up about it I'm going to go there

I'm going to enjoy it and my phone will be firmly on mute Yeah, that's it. Let him crack on. You. Two and a half months, honey, two and a half months. We do not disturb in case, unless there's an emergency. Yeah.

And then you can give me a call. But apart from that. Just get on with it. Yeah. Crack on. Which you will. I know you will. Sorry, I've digressed.

But yeah. So hopefully we'll have a list soon of everything you're going to do before you turn 40. I'll keep you updated. I mean, you've, 40 before 40 is quite a lot, George. What, it's a year? I'll have a year. That's a lot, though. Is it?

I feel like maybe you need to just like four before 40. Yeah, but some of them, some of them will be like buy a new, I don't know. Toothbrush. Yeah, yeah. Buy a new electric toothbrush. I actually need to. Yeah, do you know, I could actually do. Can't you get us a sponsorship?

Hi, or a B, if you're listening. Tom, can you get us a sponsorship with a toothbrush brand now? Yeah, can we? Do you know what I really want back in my life? Oh my God, can I just say, have you not noticed what I'm bringing back? I thought you're not. She's got a bloody toothed gem on. Do you know?

I was looking at you before and I was like, she got a bit of shit on her too. No, I'm going to teach them, guys. Can I say that I went to the Space NK event? She's such a millennial. I went to a Space NK event. They were doing tooth gems. Sandy was there from Kids Bob.

Who is 18? She was going to get one, get one. I felt quite a lot of pressure on me. And I used to love tooth gems. I love them. I don't. I used to wear them all the time. Did you?

Me and my best friend, Sasha. So I thought, I'll get it done. And then I sent Sasha a picture as like, I'm bringing it back. Do you know what? My sister-in-law gets them on her teeth as well. Ding, ding! Guys, it made me love. It's only really small.

It just, and I'd done it for Aurelia, she was literally like, Mom, Mom! Did she like it? And then we were going to do this whole thing to wait to see how long Will would have noticed. But I'm telling you now, I think it would have been weeks and weeks. I don't think he would have even noticed that. had that. It was the radio went, have you seen mum's teeth? How long had you been around it? Was it like theirs before? No, because I went, Aradius noticed it straight away. As soon as I get my

hair, my nails, change colour, like she notices everything. So she went, mum, what's on your teeth? and then I was like, she was like, oh my God. And then when we got home, she went, Will, look at mum's teeth. And then he was like, what, what? And then. Right. So she brought it up. But we were going to do this whole thing. It was going like, how long till he notices. I'm telling you, now he would, it would been months, he would not notice. It's like, um, when... Oh, with, where? I feel like he would notice, but probably not even say, but...

Not say anything. Well, I'm, I mean, guilty a little bit. I thought it was a tooth gem. I was going to ask you afterwards, actually. Have you got a tooth gem? I was debating whether to say, I was a debate whether to say, you got on your tooth there. Now, though, I can see exactly.

Georgia is that person that if you have got... Actually, the other day, she did leave me a podcast with, like, uh, yeah, for a little bit. Oh, yeah, but you left me about 10 minutes, No, I told you when I noticed, I told you when I know it. I always will. I'll always say when someone's got a bit of shit on their lip or anything. Shit on their lip?

Yeah, you know, like, who's got a shit on their lip? Not actual shit. A bit of food shit. A bit of that food shit. No, but do you not remember, like, when you first have a baby and I can't, I'm dying, I'd love to know the statistics of this. How many women go and get, like, a new person in their year after they've had a baby. Why? Because it's just like...

It's a thing to do. Me and all my girlfriends did it. What, you went and got a piercing? Yeah, I got four more piercings after I had Cooper. Well, because you were like, right, that's it. I went white. I was like, right, I am young still. And then we all chop our hair off as well. Yeah. Everyone chops the hair off when they've had a baby. Their hair's come off.

I looked back at a picture of me. And my pigmentation is so bad at the moment. I get really bad pigmentation. Yeah, after you've had a baby. Yeah. It's funny that, because I always thought that came during. in? Did you have it when you were pregnant with Phoenix? Or is it only come after? I feel like in the January, when we went to Dubai, I had it come, but it was like sore. Yeah. Then it went. Yeah. And then after I had him, it's like, because I think, who was it? I went, you're peeling really bad. I'm like, no, no, no, it's not peeled. It's pigmentation.

And then I've lost. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You can't, you don't look like you have else, but. But obviously, that is a hard thing after losing a baby. Yeah. Because it's, Obviously, my hormones and that are still strong, they're still doing exactly the same thing as what they've done with both my other children. What about your boobs? Yeah, they, obviously, I did get milk and then it just went. You did, and is it gone now? They're still down south.

Well, I need to be. I mean, there's the perils of being pregnant. Yeah, that's it. And breastfeeding. You did breastfeeding you? Yeah, both of your kids. I couldn't remember with you, I don't know. I mean, you are Mother Earth, so I would have been shocked.

Listen to Paranormal Activity with me, Vett Fielding, wherever you get your podcasts from. So, I mean, let's talk about the thing that I was so excited about when you posted it on your Instagram.

Kelsey's got a new addition to the fam. Yeah, I've got Storm the Diberman. I mean, what a great name to start off with. Great name. Well, we've gone through the storm, haven't we? Is that why you called a storm? Well, also, I feel like with a doberman, you need sort of like a powerful name.

Strong name, yeah. Especially over the, you know, the woods and the park. I actually thought they were an illegal dog in the UK. They're not, they're not. When you said to me, she's a dopamine, I was like, fuck, Kelts, I don't think you're allowed to be dopamine. I googled it.

I googled our dopamins are banned dog in the UK. They're not, they're not. No, no. No, davenants are like security dogs. Well, I think that's why I thought, because I know they can be used as like security dogs, can't they? But if you go and like, if you sit on TikTok or you sit on Instagram, they are like the soppiest dog, but they're very intelligent.

Are they? So we did a lot of research into what dog we were going to get. And I've had like Labradors, obviously I've got Dolly, she's tiny. I've had a cockapoo or a Shih Tzu. I've gone through the dogs. Yeah. Obviously that is from childhood as well, guys. yeah I just really

my brothers have gone on and on that they wanted a Doberman so we yeah the kids didn't know and we picked her when she was like two weeks old Oh she still looks so tiny as well But I think if you actually saw her you'd be like Big girl yeah But actually I went for the smallest one

Did you? I went for like the run As they say the runt of the litter She was really small but her mum from Who bred her Yeah She kept messaging me like Oh she may be the small but her personality is big she was like personality is big and she's really smart so I'm hoping

are you going to get training done or are you going to train yourself well I have when I had dolly oh no it wasn't dolly it was buddy we did six week session of like a puppy boot camp yeah and it is really if you are looking to get a dog I would definitely recommend it but I have done it so I do know what they would teach me oh okay yeah so you kind of like I've done the boot camp so you're You're going to try and do it yourself. Yeah, and don't get me wrong. If I feel like I need to get someone to come in, then I definitely will. I think training, I would say, don't get a doberman if you've not ever had a dog before.

Right. Oh, because they're quite a full-on dog. Yeah. What did the kids think? I saw their reaction that you posted. Well, I really go, what about Dolly? Yeah, what are we getting rid of dolls? It's like, no.

She's such an empath, though, and she's like, what about Dolly? Yeah, I know. Well, she didn't notice it at first. I was so confused. I was like, she's not even looking on it. No, because they, because my cousin was there and my auntie, they were saying that they were playing a game against me that like don't look at her or whatever.

So then she was going, like doing that surprise thing to me so she had no clue. With Aurelia, it's like, oh, I'm focusing on that. She didn't realize her dog sat on her knee. And little Bodie just, it was just sat there like smiling these little head off. He couldn't believe it. And they was like, but man, we can't believe you've got us a dog. Oh.

But Bodie is my animal lover. Is he? He loves her. They just rolled around the floor together, whereas Aurelia will like Storm when she's a bit older. This puppy stage is a bit, it's a lot for Aurelia. That's like when I was a mum. Yeah, they want to buy your toes in there.

Yeah, they do, don't they? They're a bit, well, they're like a top of them. Yeah, when they're little puppies, their teeth are so sharp. She's going to be big, isn't she? Do you think Storm's got like somebody in the household that is like her person now then? because they choose. They choose their master, don't they? Yeah, I feel like it is me, but I'm not going to...

Do you? Well, also, I'm going to do the majority of the work with her. Well, yeah. Are you going to give the kids responsibilities with her? I will, but I think right now, if I need to own the job of looking after her. Okay. So they will be.

My kids are great. Like, Aurelia would go downstairs and feed Dolly and sort her out. Right. But it wasn't like you'd said, oh, we'll get a dog. but only if you walker and feed her and, right, it was you that wanted it. Yeah.

Do you feel like it's, you, I think you've talked about it, that it's not there to fill a voice. Yeah. Well, it sort of is to feel a void. To fill a void, but not to replace. It's not going to, a dog is not a baby. It's got to replace a baby, is it?

No. Someone actually said that to me when it's like having a baby. It's like, ha, ha, ha. It's not, yeah. I mean, there are very, some very, very small, similarities to a point. Yeah. But do you feel like you got her to help us a bit of a distraction?

I just, I think the house needed some love. Right. And we deserve some love. So I think a dog can give you that much, like that needed love that we all wanted so much. And I think as well, I've seen that through my Instagram reaction. So many people have messaged me, DM'd me, like wrote on the post that I did. Like, we got a dog because we lost someone. one. Really? Yeah, I think they're a distraction. Yeah. Because you've got to walk the dog and feed the dog and I think that and they give you the love. Do you think that's your way of grieving to distract? Do you think that's a helpful way for you to grieve? Yeah, because, well, it's not because I do sit in my grief. But I have to get on with everything, don't I? Yeah. You are one of those people that does like to keep themselves busy. Oh, I love being busy. Yeah.

But I think if I hadn't have gone through everything I've gone through, I'd still be that person. And you'd still have got a dog, do you reckon? Maybe not, maybe not if Phoenix was here. Yeah, no, no, no. Then you would have been absolutely mental. I think I would be absolutely mental if I got a puppy. Do you ever see people do that? Get a puppy and have a baby at the same time.

I'm like, I don't know what an earth is going through your mind. Puppies are needy. Yeah. Like even the crying, like obviously I'm crate training her. To like when she goes in the cray, the crying. Oh, does she cry? Well, they say that Doberman's like wine. But Dobermans are, they're great family dogs and they love the family.

Obviously, they have got that, like you thought straight away, like, oh, Doberman. Yeah. Like, they've got that reputation of, like, power. I think because their markings are like Rockwilers and I think I am, I think I just, I, yeah. But even the Rockwilers, they're like, love. No, they're not legal. They're not legal. The only thing that's illegal is the, well, I don't even know if that, American bullies actually illegal now.

Yeah, you're not allowed to buy them now. If you've got one, I think they have to be muzzled, don't they? But I think that's the only dog. Don't call me on that. Obviously, with the dohmins, they are, they work, they're working security dogs. And because they are intelligent. I think they're like one of the top, most five intelligent dogs. I have, yeah.

So the training has actually, it's going well, George. Good. I saw you were doing some training at 6am this morning. Sit and stay. But also they need that mental simulation to be like, right, she gets tired after you do little things like that with her. Oh, does she? Yeah, she goes off. And they say as well like a baby, sleep creates sleeps and you want them

and you actually should put them away to sleep for a few hours. Wow. We're having a puppy master class over here. Pups, the word. Oh, you could see. starting a second podcast. A branch off this one, what's the word. But you should, because you could have a silly dog then. Yeah. Because if you keep them simulating all the time, like, yeah, my dog, my old dog, Ralphie, he was a bit of a silly dog. I didn't put him to sleep in a career. Yeah, I was young. I didn't really know how to look after a dog. What was

that when you moved out? No, me, when me and Danny, quite early on into mine and Danny's relationship. You had a dog? Yeah, we got a dog. And we got him, do you know when we got him? I've got on the New Year's Eve. And do you know what we were doing on New Year's Eve? Having a house party. What? Yeah. It's stupid.

What breed? He was a cross between a Labrador and a bulldog called a Bulladour. What? Oh, I need to Google what that even looks like. It looked. He looked a bit like a Bull Mastiff. But he was really cute, really cute. He's RIP.

R-I-P, R-P, Ralphie. But you're feeling all right, are you, Kells? Do you feel like you're on the up with program? aggressive grieving. Do you know what? I just feel like it is a roller coaster for me, did I like? I feel that some days I'm good, some days I'm not. I try and look at the positive in life.

I do feel like, again, what I'm saying to you about my hair, you know, everything. I do feel like especially a certain time of the month, like my anxiety will be quite bad. Yeah. And it's a reminder, isn't it? It's a reminder and I just find it so hard going out and I know it's no one else's fault. but going to events and going places and people just asking me like three times from the same person, are you okay?

Yeah. Is a lot for me? Yeah. Because I'm like, what answer do you actually want for me? Yeah. Like, I don't know what you want me to say. I think you should just go, well, no, because of course I've lost a baby,

but, you know, I'm getting on with life. Yeah, I do try and say that. And that's it. And they still don't know what to say. Maybe then just go, full stop. So anyway. Yeah. So?

Yeah. This is a nice. Ben. How are you? Yeah. I think it's hard with other people. And I just think people just don't know what to say to me because they're heartbroken. You know.

People never know what to say when someone's died. Like in general. Like if your mum died, you wouldn't know what to say, would you? I think it's just one of those subjects that's really hard to know what's the right things to say. But we love you. Moving on. Moving on.

Because you don't just keep talking about it. Do you think else. We listen and what do we not do? We don't judge. We just talk about it on here. Just talk about it afterwards. I'm going, can you believe? No, we don't really.

Right, so my daughter was three years old and she was around an elderly lady and pointed at her and said, Mommy, look a witch. Well, I feel like this one comes up a lot. And with my kids, I just literally say we don't comment on anyone. We don't comment on people's appearances.

I do say we don't comment on people's appearances. I do say we don't comment on people's appearance. Cooper wanted it as a little man shuffling along like a penguin. Like, I mean, a blessing. You obviously had a problem with his back or something. Cooper just looked at me. And it's the first time I've ever seen him try and hold a laughing. But it made me laugh because I'd never seen him do that before.

I was like, no, we don't. We can't laugh. We can't laugh. When you get the giggles, but no, you mustn't. But also the thing is, right, when kids are reading all these picture books are looking at these picture books and there's a depiction of what a witch looks like and then they see an old woman that looks like this witchy

from looks witchy of course they're going to associate that with being a witch or if they see a very, very tall person but like I remember Cooper used to call one of our old friends the BFG because he was an absolute giant and he was really kind. It's hard though, isn't it? It is hard because also we, you know,

know, with close family members and whatever else, you have jokes and you do comment, don't you? Yeah, yeah. So I'm not, no judgment there. I just got to, you've got to teach them not to say things out loud again. I know. Gone tells, what's the next one? I actually hate going out with Ralea for that reason. Oh, yeah. My toddler asked why daddy sleeps at his house and mummy sleeps at hers. We are still very much together. I just needed one night of quiet at my mum. She'd only done one night. Oh, God. I mean, that's the problem. When something like that happens and then they spread it around the school

it's like, it's like when people's kids have gone my mommy hit me or something like that and they've not but for some reason a kid's decided to say something like that for no reason. And it's not true. And it's not true.

My mum. Well they just exaggerate. That is an exaggeration. That is like my kids like Mom never picks us up like I might have picked him up once. Like she never does that. Yeah. They do do that, don't they?

They just exaggerate. You never do that. I'm like, I always do that. I'm the only person that does that. So, I don't know what you're talking. It really noise. We weren't coocessing like that. So I imagine she's like, no, we're actually still together.

Her friends, her friends, her friends, her friends children would go back and be like, oh, do you know this? Did you know? And they're like, oh, maybe they're going for a divorce or a breakup. Yeah, you would. That's how the gossip mill starts. But well done on, whoever this lady is for taking herself off to her mum's to have a quiet night. Yeah. And we all need to take a leaf out of her book, don't we?

I told my child that ice cream vans. when he plays music when it's out of ice cream and I have absolutely no regrets, that's a great idea. That is... Cracking. That is winning. I feel like there's more things like that.

That was a downfall when Cooper learned to read. It is, yeah, I'm at the stage. And you're like, oh, you can tell... Like, oh, you can't go into the park. Yeah, he knows that sign doesn't say closed. Yeah. Says open. I know what he says, please put dog poo in the bin.

Yeah. That means the park is closed. And can you smell that? Smell that, Mr. Park is not okay. My daughter said, Mommy, you look pretty today. And I said, thank you. She replied, not like yesterday.

I feel like that. It's such an or really thing to say it. I mean, she gets excited when I turn up at school with makeup on. She's like, Mom, you've got makeup on. Like everyone, my mum's got makeup on. But Arani never does anything quiet as well. She'd be like, she actually will say some of them's, look. She'll make a point of it.

makeup on? I'm like, you should just own it, Kelsey and be like, yeah, check me out. Sorry. Look at me. She's been on the TV

like, guys. Sorry, just been on loose women. I was rushing out of the door for the school run and grabbed what I thought was my conceals pop under my eyes. It was prit stick.

I mean, we need more information. Did she put it on? Did you put it on? What happened? Did she put it on? I mean, if she did use it on her brow, she would have had a lovely laminated brow. I feel like that's a story of my life, though,

that I run out and and don't have the right things and... Oh, oh, you've thought you've, like... Packed something and you've not. Yeah, or you thought you've rubbed your concealer in and you haven't rubbed your concealer in. I did have that the other day. It was like, do you know, when you actually have, like, the brush marks?

Oh, yeah. And then I was like, oh, oh, they're going to put in the car. See, I would tell you that as well, you know. Yeah, that's what you need, though. Oh, you do. Need that honest person. Yeah, that tells you. It tells you.
