worried about everyone was like be careful you don't get it and i was like no i'm not gonna get it and i didn't um but i've just got this call i've just got a bit bunged up it's the worst when you're in your house and the kid gets it and brings it home yeah then all of a sudden you're like it's a waiting game who gets it and i remember once um we were like lying in bed and i just heard ed run to the toilet and i didn't get it and all of them got it james walked in the house last night um and he said he felt like the sickness smell he said he walked in and he's like are you ill and i was like i don't feel great why he's like it just smells ill in here and then there is an ill smell i could hear in the truffle pig yeah i thought we're all gonna get ill

upgraded to the royal suite which is where it had a balcony didn't it's 2600 pounds a night that room can you but like right and it is which i didn't think that was i thought it was gonna be more but anyway um it's where the royalty royalty stays right at the front anyway it's got a balcony it's got two floors and my i honestly felt like right i felt like this is what the royalty would do so we went to the spa then we cancelled our dinner reservations so you could eat in so we could sit in our robes in our room well i don't want to go for dinner yeah well did you have a big long tape dining table oh no yours was more so then you went then didn't you we weirdly we didn't play like just how it happened yeah weird um it's a nice time for you they put the christmas

trees up i'm going in december have you booked it no tony's gonna book it for me i'm going with james in december i think it's a lovely time to go so i went and they were putting the christmas trees up when we were there i mean i need the orchard it's lovely as well so nice in there supposedly you can buy the smell from the gift shop really you couldn't have it in your house i was in the presidential suite so ashley then went and got upgraded wasn't as high as mine but no he said it was the best room in the hotel i checked he told me i checked he told me that well when i checked not when you'd gone when i was there i looked through and mine was the most expensive so i thought i had the best in the house right now we don't know but yours

was yours actually looked yours was more modern mine was more like a party room yes and mine was more palatial yeah yours i think is where the brides stay it is yes um but yeah listen guys grantley hall even the normal rooms are expensive but you can't go wrong the breakfast was good yeah no i had a bacon sandwich i can't i love the grantley hall bacon sandwiches the breakfast i had um porridge with honey then a fry up and then two pieces of toast oh i rolled home but yeah yeah big poo but it was really good so we did that um and then what else has been going on what else has been going on i did something really embarrassing yesterday what i just had to say it so i me and me and one of the mums on our estate do car sharing with the kids so she does half the week i do half

school drop-offs fucking lovely anyway i went to pick up said child yesterday and the dad really lovely couple i've known them years the the dad was kind of embarrassed saying goodbye to the child as the child got in my car and i'd got out to get her in and i he said bye sweet pea and i thought he was speaking to you and i went bye but i just got confused and then i was like oh and i got in my car and i was so embarrassed he's like bye sweet pea and i was like bye and i thought oh my god he's gonna think i think he called me sweet pea like when you're younger i was so embarrassed and you called the teacher mummy yeah and everyone would be like you called the teacher mummy yeah so that was really

embarrassing i also have a rant my kids call me the nanny's name teddy goes so mommy um the other thing i wanted to rant about right because i'm really shocked about this i was thinking about last night fireworks how are they legal how are they legal my god you could kill 10 children with one wrong turn of it why are we letting it's not right is it why are we letting mark so you can't buy disposable vapes anymore but you can buy ed came in the house ed came in the house last night he'd bought one called war the the firework was gone he's such a bloke 600 quid war war fireworks are really expensive honestly i don't know right so there's no other

than being over 18 any fucker can buy a firework if you're over 18 so steve tom harry can all go and buy dave who's been drinking for the last six months can go and buy a fucking firework jimmy on crack can go and buy men get a hard-on over fire fireworks they can put it anywhere and set it off now if they're off their box and they've put it sideways that could kill five children i just can't understand how it's legal when i was younger um we found a briefcase and we spent all you know in summer when you'd be out the house like all day and we spent all day trying to open this briefcase and we were like it could have money in it anything and it was like a proper battered briefcase and we managed to get it open like me all of our friends the lads

we were like trying everything got it open full of fireworks and we just spent the day setting fireworks off honestly someone explain to me why it's legal why that is legal but you can't buy i've been id'd for like a candle lighter before i just for me they need to be illegal i think they're extremely dangerous and i don't like them also i saw a tiktok the other day while we're on this subject i get id'd all the time and it's when i'm buying like a bottle of wine some that you really needed yeah like a mum wine yeah at like four o'clock on a tuesday so i'm buying like nappies washing powder all this stuff and then the id me and i'm like if i was 17 i wouldn't when i was younger i used to go in the local shop in my school uniform and buy fags and blue wicked

you could be 16 i used to it was definitely 50 we used to hang around outside the shop and say will you go and say will you go in for me the piss heads used to i'm gonna ask you would i do that now would you if a child not a child like they looked about 17 asked you to buy them a blue razz lost mary and they begged you and they were like please yeah i might do i might i might be like listen that was me once no do you know what i'd do i'd say no absolutely not and i'd go in and then i'd drop it on the floor yeah that's have you put some thought into this no i just just off the cuff uh no i i i don't know if i would i think i'm that boring i think i'm that old boring person now but part of me it depends on the situation and the mood i was in

The desperation in their eyes. And how pissed I was. Yeah, yeah. We were just talking then. We've had an incident where someone nearly got walked in on shagging last night. And we were discussing about, have you ever walked in on your mum and dad? Now, Lauren's dad is dead now. So it's been a long time.

Yeah. If I walked in on my mum and dad shagging now, it'd be a different conversation. There'd be a lot to explain. But I have walked in on mine once. and it was traumatic did you see nudity everything so basically the my old dad's hairy butt fuck off i'm not going too much into it because my mum listens and she'll be fearing but my old house was opposite a pub that we all used to go to when we were like 15 16 and um my house was opposite so on our way into hail village i'd change my shoes into my going out shoes because

i'd wear my trainers for but anyway i went in my house and my mum and dad are very social the out most nights during the weekend and all the lights in the house were on and my dad you know what it's like having a dad when they say no so i was like okay best turn the lights off so i'd had like a few drinks walking around the house turning lights off get into their bedroom open the door and they're at it yeah and i just screamed and ran away i've never seen mine but james got annihilated james um said that he has many many memories of hearing walking in on his mum and dad in fact his brother jack said to me the other day that recently um he knew they were shagging because he caught them on an apple watch or something so i need to ask him the full

story was a heart rate or or she answered on an apple watch out of breath or something i can't i know i need to find out what happened so say what so i will have been 16 then and my mom and dad are like 30 years older than me so they were like 46 so yeah you're gonna be shagging well you still be shagging when you're 46 i hope i hope so it's not that long away so here i saw something the other day that says you think middle age is like your 50s when you have midlife but not you have the average age of life is 76 or something so actually middle age is 38 that's it you're halfway through hon keep going really at the end yeah thank god for facelifts i know i know um so we've had do you know what right we don't get trolled well you do a bit don't you i i don't get it that

bad not to my face anyway do you know like not particularly but can i just tell this week right instagram's been fuming so listen to this one that i got which i have to laugh at because when you go on this girl's profile she's about 16 she's got a picture of herself with a vape and a man city um a man city flag behind her in a bedroom she's like 50 yeah lauren i have no clue who you are but so you're clearly irrelevant i mean you're messaging me but you're a fucking idiot i was like huh i was just lying there minding my own business on them in the morning and how many followers does this kid have 873 so it's a real profile yeah um you're a fucking idiot and it's clear you've not got any children not being funny what gives you the right to speak

about mother's rules for their child i do not know what she's on about disrespectfully shut your fat gob you ugly plastic filled face wait wait uh wank stain she called me a wank stain seriously you look like a chipmunk with that filler okay so did you didn't reply i did and then deleted it thought don't be she's fucking 15 so i replied deleted it and just blocked and reported yeah so that happened that day and then you started getting some i had one about um because i do have veiny eyelids i will admit it i am like i used all kinds of active ingredients and probably shouldn't on them then i'm very pale like that's me i have got the whitest skin lauren explain how you are unbelievable however it's literally blue you're blue but your skin tone is all even you

have no sun damage it's a lovely alabaster color right but i'm white guys and look even there on my arm you can see my veins so i've had my eyelids done twice so yeah there is some veins there so this person commented on my picture and it was like your eyelids make me feel really uncomfortable how veiny they are something so i just what i do is i just block them and then i block anyone else that's liked the comment oh yeah because that's that's a part like if you're going to be a troll be a troll never mind liking it and then you got some shit about and then um you put about because you'd recommended yes two different things well that was but that wasn't no it was it to be fair it was a really passive aggressive yeah it was and it was silly really because so i will

answer this for you wait do you want me to read it um do we want to give that air time i think it basically no i think what it basically said i'm not being funny but it was one of them and it basically said i don't mean to be rude but i'm gonna write this basically saying i don't understand one minute you were promoting medicaid now you're promoting this skincare line now that i don't know which one to go for right let me answer this in defense of her right oh and then they said about the advent calendars as well yeah okay so what you have to remember is we have thousands and thousands of followers and listeners all with different skin types all with different budgets we ourselves don't just use one particular range if we find a range that we think is really

good we're going to share it with you you look into it we do try everything for at least two weeks as well but you look into it if you think it sounds good for your skin to i promote there's a pericone range that's for oily skin and blemishes i don't have that kind of skin but i know how good it is for other people so i will talk about that but then you will also find me then potentially the next day talking about skin for dry skin from a different range because that's the whole fucking point we if we just promoted one product that was expensive it's not accessible we'd get shit my name on instagram is the cosmetic consult like that's where my instagram started from reviewing reviewing products i don't post my kids in the park no one needs to know that you're not

like that you're not that's not what i do and yeah they always say well she never with the kid everything i post is literally an educational piece apart from obviously like funny things like apart from when you were roly-poly in grantley hall that's what yeah i'm either gonna be giving you value from some way or the other i'm not like you're not a lifestyle you're not a lifestyle blogger no no and that's fine if you are but what i'm saying is i will only work with brands that i've tried it out tested it i agree with the price point i agree with the ingredients all of that stuff i have been offered collabs for loads of different things that i've turned down but don't come at me saying like she only recommends one thing same with you with

wearing clothes one minute i'm in my amazon gym leggings next minute it's a an aloe track suit like you know you've got to cater and you've got to use you've got to use your brain and just you know you don't have to buy every single thing you look at it does it suit you is it what you're looking for them with the comment about oh and she just you you know advertises the i don't i've not been paid from anyone apart from love honey um to advertise an advent calendar i've not i don't yeah what she was saying there is that you say don't try loads of different things but then all you're saying is we don't know but a lot of people love advent calendars mate we're trying to cater to thousands of listeners so just shush now we're really lucky that we get sent stuff to

try every week there'd be no podcast if we didn't not everyone else does and that is why you know even before i did influencing i did love the advent calendars because i love being like oh this what's this and then do you know what as a girl you can say to your mates that didn't suit me there's something over there or wrap it up the stuff that i posted the ad fence i would literally use about 50 if not more of the stuff i think it's hard it's hard you can't please everyone i got something on um my story the other day so obviously i was taking the piss about when i was 18 and i used to wax vaginas i got trumped on and people and people used to have you know come to me really unclean and with poo and stuff like that and we made a joke of it like we made

light of it and and it was a clip and most people who were beauty therapists kind of laughed about it a lot of people got the joke but there were a few people and fine like it's okay to have your opinion that we're kind of saying shock they didn't follow us of course they didn't um that were kind of saying you know this isn't very nice you're making women feel nervous about going to appointments and i thought oh darling you don't listen to the pod if we constantly tried not to offend somebody we would sit in silence the pandora thing the pandora it's a joke like the people listen to this podcast listen to it because it's light-hearted it's funny if but it's scary how the world is actually turning everyone's very sensitive and what is is is being funny and you know close

to the mark going to even be can't you know and it was a joke and they obviously hadn't listened to the pod and what i actually replied to him is i said this is i'm talking about something that happened 18 15 18 years ago now and also if you'd listen to the pod what i'm actually saying is people turned up to me unclean yeah i'm not laughing at people's vaginas i didn't say anyone had a dangly bit i couldn't give a fuck i could look at assholes all day don't care what i was saying is people came to me unclean which no i'm sorry that's not okay i even shaved for my smear test i wouldn't necessarily shave if i didn't feel like i needed to but i would be clean i would be clean yeah like a little wipe in your handbag yes yeah i think so anyway so people had something to

say about that and they were just like you know i hope women do you know what last time i went for a gynae appointment the nurse was in the room with me and she literally handed me and why do you think that is a like not a baby but like a sanitizer and why do you think that is because that many people must have been going in unclean yes so my point was just having a little joke but listen you can't joke about anything so it's almost impossible to have a podcast it because everything we say could be offended anyway fuck yours so and now it's gonna be a clip oh my god yeah and that is now gonna be a clip fuck you don't listen then just fuck off right i need to read this dilemma out because we got it in last

night oh yeah i couldn't stop thinking about this yeah you sent it into the chat didn't you can i just say again we say it all the time but really honestly guys especially at this time of year the patreon is giving i feel so hot they're so lovely so it's not just like me even the other day i said hotels in london i booked the one straight away that the girls said i agree i went on any advice i need or like a discount i asked about homie shoren straight away bam bam bam everyone's there like just absolutely lovely mega helpful this one here right I've been with my boyfriend for four years we've been going through a bit of a rough patch at the minute we never use condoms or protection I had an abortion at the start of the year and sleeping together has been

a bit sparse mainly because of my fault last week he's been distant and nasty which is really out of character but I didn't think much of it I've come around today to his for dinner with him and his mum which is normal after work gone to look for my bed socks love a fluffy sock at this time of year our kind of girl and found in his top drawer a brand new pack of so they don't live together no right and a used one which was shoved at the back of the drawer with sperm in with my socks hair clips lip balm that had been in his room so he'd hidden them he'd hidden her socks lip balm and everything in the drawer yeah he said that he opened the condom to see if it dried up if it had dried up oh dear is this a thing and she said that she'd bought and he told her he'd

bought a new box right for their new holiday coming up i've lost my head which thinks fair enough for reference six months into our relationship he did cheat on me right first of all men don't even buy don't even remember to pack their underwear for a holiday they are not pre buying a box of condoms for your holiday they don't even get sun cream they don't even get sun cream they don't they are not preparing even remember their passport in my case they don't even know the board like they don't know what country they're going to until you take them there yeah they are not pre-planning with a box of fresh condoms from home bargains there's no way the used one shoved to the sammy why didn't you just flush it on the toilet you can't flush condoms

if you're cheating you're going to take the risk against the environment mate sorry but i would a one hit from the environment for me not to get caught it'd go down the toilet um but yeah like a used condom and he don't from what he said what she said is the clip the socks were all in the drawer which means he's hidden them so that draws his little secret drawer his dirty semen drawer yeah i think he's cheated i do sorry i think he has and but how what would you do then what can you this is the problem so this is the problem that i think a lot of women and probably men as well have and it's one of the toughest things it's where you find out but you don't a hundred percent find out it's absolutely devastating it's just impossible and they're never going to admit

it i had it when i um i found out that someone had had like girls at a house party that i lived with and then i um i was away with work and i came back and found out i've spoken about it before you got a hundred percent clarification on that on the cctv yeah but he never admitted to me that anything happen and that for my for your mental yeah when you never when they say to you like yeah or hands in the air let me ask you have you ever had someone hands in the air i've done it yeah yeah but were they caught first 100 yeah like i had the evidence and then it was well yeah and then i was fucking off the worst bit was when i had the hands in the air i was like you've broken my heart and you've cheated on me and i was ready to play kitten

i was ready to scream shout cry wallow and beg for me back but then he didn't he said okay yeah i did and and that's well it was over but yeah um yeah i can't think i've ever had i'm trying to quickly think now i don't think anyone's ever hands up admitted i don't think they have i'm trying to think have the you christina when i was with the guy take some balls when i was with the guy that bought me and the other girl the same advent calendar went into tesco bought us two advent calendars matching and gave one to each i'd spoken to her so i knew that was true but he still played the pair of us off he still said one thing to her one thing to me and like wouldn't it was still lying or he couldn't stop i don't think i've ever been admitted i've caught a boyfriend

texting someone else because i went on his phone yeah and he and he put it in his phone as sis um yeah wanting to suck your sister's tits is a good way and i found out obviously it wasn't his sis and but i played it all wrong i should have yeah taken the time but i panicked and he did admit yes he had been messaging because he'd been caught yeah girls we always say this to try and avoid that situation where you confront too early and they can still get out of it if there's any way possible gather enough evidence that it's 100 hard even if you have to keep an eye on them for a month or two because that will give you that closure and the get out of yes you did cheat and here's the evidence rather than blowing your load

too early we always say this and then and never never getting the clarification and then you want to believe them you want to so you and i'm a very believing person so i just trust once we every single girl will go through this at some stage in their life and once you've been through it three times i think it's that's when it hardens you oh yeah and then you're like i'm done and you look back on like the first two times you did it and you're like oh you stupid little girl little girl yeah but listen guys we're all there this is how we learn we have to wallow we have to be heartbroken yeah we have to you know mentally torment ourselves and be tormented by men it's really really not good but it's normal like that tormenting yourself and then you get to the point

where you think i knew i used to so now i won't do that anymore yeah but it's a it's a path of life and if we can speed it up if you're listening one thing that i will say though is i've gone through this like with before quite a few times be aware of people that are energy drainers yeah there's radiators and there's drainers because listen you can only give your advice twice i would say but we've all got best friends that continue to make that continue to make the mistakes and we're and and i just don't it's not your problem to deal with draining yeah you give your advice so many times and if that person is is pathetic enough or has got a little self-worth or whatever to knock at the balls then you just leave them to it at that point it's not worth your energy

and your advice anymore no because giving your energy out to people honestly it's a trap yeah i agree so speaking of dilemmas we also i mean it's not speaking of dilemmas really it was a really bad link sorry guys but we were talking about copying stories we did ask you about this um do you know what i i've been thinking about this copying thing it's a massive debate you could have yeah so it's because one of our friends someone is copying her but it's it's in a way of like um work as well well they're in the public eye right yeah so it's quite obvious yeah you know almost copying style and and movements movements all sorts of things like that and she's noticed it and that's where where it actually came from i think it was she's not

even noticed it it's other people have like yeah told them no no no the story of what i told you about the asking for the that was yeah we i will i'll find out if we can ask her if we can tell i don't think so no no right so we've got some of your copycat stories in i just started reading this and it anyway i was friends with this girl from primary school we were best friends about five years ago i started making slow cooker fudge during lockdown what a great idea where are we going with this next thing she starts selling slow cooker fudge that's sorry but it's just making me laugh this elon musk then i log into my work emails one morning to see an email from hr welcoming i can't speak her to the company she had gone behind my back and applied for a job

where she knew I worked and didn't even tell me so clearly she wasn't doing very well selling the fudge I also found out she had viewed a house that was for sale on my street she's a really crap friend though never used to ask me about me only about self cancelled me on all the time if we had plans if I didn't text her first we'd never talk so in the end I stopped trying and we didn't speak for about a year and this was when she decided to work for my company she tried to message at me and i was really blunt and just said she should have told me but as were colleagues now be civil and professional she'd been sacked by christmas so there's different there's copying and then there's like psycho stalking shit and i feel like that's psycho stalky shit yeah but i

don't know what do you think if you had a job in a company that you loved it was your job and then one of your best friends hit oh just tell me no it happened to me and it didn't go well i wouldn't mind but i'd just be like if you're going to join the company like come and say how can i get in like if she didn't tell me i'd be a bit like that's a bit sneaky just come and say i really want to work for that company have you got any advice and i'd be like yeah and give her the wrong info yeah because we used to have that all the time oh yeah people would always want to work at maya they have no fucking clue did they no idea that looks like a lovely job they have no idea did they mate no idea right okay pre-facing this story with the fact that my friend is very sweet

but i'm not being funny but don't take this the wrong way i'm not one to judge but um however she lacks her own style and confidence sometimes if i posted on instagram she would message me straight away for links same shoes same haircut makeup same clothes as me she then created a home account exactly like mine which isn't huge by the way but did get reposted by some big accounts she then started copying all my videos tagging me in them to post on my page which was weird however support your friends right then came the wedding shoes i posted that i had bought my wedding shoes but didn't show what they looked like just the box she messaged me to see them so i sent her a photo literally a week later she told me she was taking the day off work so she

could travel and buy the same pair for her wedding i know it's not a big deal but how many bloody pairs of shoes are there out there luckily she ended up going somewhere else as mine were a one-off and we didn't end up matching i'm super chilled about most things but please leave my wedding shoes out of this um i think that is nuts but it sounds like she's quite um she's got no brazen about asking like i've got friends where at least she's saying like can i copy you you i would say that to you like i'd be like babe i'm gonna buy that i don't even ask you i just say i'm going to say i'm gonna get no you wouldn't ask i think she seems just a little bit like needs some guidance and just like bless her it is annoying the whole instagram thing where they

start trying to turn into you though i so listen to this when i started blogging about oh my god six years ago was that a tummy burp is that a trouser cough what's that a fart yeah no it was my tummy going trouser cough where it comes out um anyway so when i started blogging i started my blog and it was like hi this is my blog this is why i've done it blah blah blah and i made a few like statements on it it was my opening paragraph and then this girl was like i would love to start a blog and i was like yeah go for it she copied and pasted no she didn't and just took her no the same so what i my words were i just i thought this would be cheaper than a psychiatrist there that was my sentence she

copied the paste the whole thing including hi my name's i've made a blog as i thought it'd be cheaper than a copy the entire thing and then said to me would you read my blog and i didn't she messaged me again did you get a chance to read it delulu that's psycho shit i think but that's like and i'll never forget that because i thought wow that's really really odd but other than that i think with our job people do copy us that's the whole point of it and i don't mind and i copy loads of people it's a difference though between that and your friends yeah i think there's a difference and also these stories are all just yeah one thing is like i would probably get the same outfit as you yeah i would and you say to me christina you need to get this

yeah and i do do that and that but that's different from what they're saying it seems like it's a bit sort of sneaky yeah if it's open then listen you could only turn around to him go not tell you come on you're taking the piss now yeah you know fuck off do you want to do you want to like jump in my skate yeah yeah yeah i kind of think you want to shock my whereas it's the ones who don't like think that they're copying and they are yeah i'll tell you this is an interesting one they don't compliment you yeah they just don't copy it this is an interesting one because this is when it comes to business right which i think is i don't like that that's over yeah a lot of people have a thing about this hi guys i have a copycat story that happened to me recently i rented

my clinic out to a girl one day a week to do injectables and we agreed that she wouldn't do any skin treatments in there as that's what i do we didn't use any of the same brands and she only offered one peel at the time other than injectables so the girl's skin she's injectables i wanted to help build a client base if she's new to the area so i shared a page on mine and i mentioned to her clients interested in injectables i went away on holiday one week in the summer oh god my tummy um to see her promoting all my treatments no that's bang out of order on her story while i'm away offering the exact same treatments and the brands that i use so she'd obviously been rummaging around in my clinic and copied my whole business that i've spent years building she also copied my

branding shoot and even used the same makeup artist as me she's now set up down the road offering all the same treatments as me and i confronted her and i said i don't want her in my clinic anymore she couldn't even deny it and bottled it on the day she was supposed to drop my keys back and said her car broke so she just posted them to me very unoriginal and will always be one step behind me it's sad that people don't come up with their own ideas i don't let it bother me now and i just make sure i'm always focusing on myself and my own growth i think that's a good way to look that is um someone else was talking about this on instagram and they said just stay in your own lane you're in your own lane you're moving forward you're going for it your own pace

at your own values if you stop to look at what they're doing because they're copying you you're slowing yourself down we don't do that with it oh yeah fine well fuck you like on the motorway go but there's been a crash yeah and people are rubbernecking and people everyone goes slower

because they're looking at the crash ignore everyone else's car crash and just carry on and keep driving safely I think that's quite a fucking good analogy

that is ignore the car crash around you and drive forward safely yeah yeah keep your eyes on your own road definitely

and I totally agree with that I think you can very easily get sucked into looking around you negatively that's what they want it's easy to do

we all do it but I think you've got your own goals as well and you've got your own like limits and stuff so you just you just do you

honeys guys i just wanted to pause and take a second to talk to you about today's sponsor of the episode natural cycles it's something that we've spoken about a lot isn't it yeah we i've used it for three years so you must have used it for four or five you must use it a lot because you put me on i haven't used it for five and we've worked five plus we've worked with them for a few for a few years now haven't we um and i they're one of the brands that i genuinely love working with because i totally believe in it i know we get a lot of messages about people having side effects because people can get side effects from hormonal contraception did you get any when you were on

were you on the pill i was on the pill i just think now it's all about educating ourselves and i know that if i understand my body the way that things work and leaving things as natural as possible when it comes to hormones especially with the knowledge that we've got now from having people like kate talk on the podcast i didn't realize how important hormones are and how my hormones affected my cycle my mood do you know your cycle you have every month it's a huge thing for women and we didn't understand it like you should know your cycle when you're ovulating where you're at it explains how you're feeling emotionally doesn't it so how the app works guys is every morning you take your temperature before you get out of bed you input little bits of data

onto the app it's super easy to use the more data that you put in the more you will get out of it it will tell you green days and red days depending on if you're using it for a contraception aspect however i have used this app in so many different formats which are really easy to switch in and out of at the tap of a button so i have used the natural cycles app for conception yeah you can try and also yeah i said on instagram the other day if you've been using it say for two years to prevent you've still got all that data so when it comes to trying should you have any problems you've got a full two years of cycle data to help so i went then into using the pregnancy side of the app which was very very educational then i used it for the postpartum which is the newest

side of the app which i also found unbelievable now if you want to give natural cycles a go which we would absolutely suggest that you do we have as always worked together with them to get you an amazing offer so if you use the code nip tuck at naturalcycles.com you're going to get 15 of an annual subscription and a free thermometer as well so thank you to natural cycles for sponsoring this episode please note that natural cycles is for 18 plus and does not protect against stis so today bargain bucket is all about natural remedies at home for certain things because like we were just saying we're getting a little bit sick so we've actually got this because lauren's thea had the sickness bug and i gave her two really really good tips so we have all

been there child with a sickness bug they are feral they will be sick everywhere so you know when i stayed at granley hall that's the night she started the sickness she's always sick when i'm away and she was in bed with james and the kids at about nine o'clock they were all watching a film all four five of them in bed and he said she just sat up and she'd eaten a punnet of raspberries imagine and sat up and just all over the bed all over the little one the little girl in part of the little one was going it's on my leg she's been sick on my leg and they were sick did james have to wash the sheet he had to strip the entire bed down to the mattress scrub the mattress do you not have the protectors not on my bed no yeah no you have to very rarely piss the bed no it's not

about that so basically it's about the sick because you just never know i just didn't so he had to put s3 text me saying hope you're having a lovely evening it's like 10 at night i was just going to sleep in my cozy bed at grantley hall and he had to put all the things in the wash and scrub the chunks off and yeah so so thanks james a tip for that is you can buy these mattress protectors off amazon um and they've got like a tiny bit of like a waterproof covering right okay so worth having 100 um and do you know what else i use in those circumstances where there's a sickie bug the dettol spray but not the spray it's like a dettol aerosol oh like i like aerosols i do sometimes round the house with that like the um the floor near the door

like the handles the toilets kids faces yeah everything um because it kills germs so well done you Dettol um so what you do is if the baby or toddler or child has a sicky bug humantra electrolytes in ice lolly molds didn't even think of that fantastic so they're getting their electrolytes like they're getting the you know as much hydration and water as possible because they do they don't want to drink and when they drink they throw it back up yeah and they're not really meant to eat either you're meant to starve it oh yeah yeah didn't know that just like biscuits yeah she didn't want to eat anyway dry toast and then the other tip that i gave lauren is glow sticks in the bottom of the sick bowl that is so clever so obviously they wake up in

the night and you've got a sick bucket but you can't find them yeah so you put glow sticks in the bottom what a bloody good idea isn't it so now moving on was that a nanny one because i feel like i would like a nanny for tips and tricks because they look after so many kids they must know some good stuff i can't remember like they're like experts um yeah and then the dental aerosol for the sickie really good and also just try and keep everyone separate as much as possible did you know if your kid gets chickenpox and you're pregnant you're not allowed around them for two weeks i did know that what the fuck apparently pregnant pregnancy um chickenpox is extremely dangerous is it because it makes it measles i mean mom don't know it does something

it's very dangerous very dead and you're not allowed to be around sheep um i was pregnant and i was at the farm with my mum and i saw a sign saying no pregnant women there must be like the sheet and well there's a thing about cats oh my god i watched a film the other day and i don't watch films called a man called man called otto or a man named otto christina i think if you want to cry you might really like it okay it's tom hanks is it tom hanks yeah or yeah watch that guys it's really sad um but good it's uplifting but sad anyway they had a pregnant woman on there she wouldn't say something about cats because cat poo yeah it's got stuff in it it's got stuff in it i mean who i mean pregnant not pregnant you don't

really want to be like eating cat poo anyway one thing um so we're going to go into now the natural remedies not just lauren talking about cat poo sorry but basically one thing that i swear by is this stuff called allison max yes you told me to get that when i had it is a natural antibiotic it's so strong so inside garlic what was it it's garlic it was my eye yeah you're right when i got but also if you start getting the throat closing up if you start getting any like bladder infection anything basically garlic is one of the most potent ingredients for like illness flu you think that's why it keeps vampires away okay so inside a garlic clove no like in the olden days does it come from that i don't know but inside a garlic clove there's a tiny tiny seed and i think that's

what's called allison so what they do is they cut that open and make it into these like each one has got something like 60 your breath stinks and your sweat and everything but it is supposed to be fantastic it is fantastic it's got something in it that is just like magic i take six of them and the illness gone right so that's a good ag1 we swear by as well to keep it away in the first place it's got like your daily vitamin c in it hasn't it which is amazing it's got all kinds of things in there um and also like i if i'm on the go if i've not eaten enough greens i'll take that yeah then your gut is so important yeah i didn't realize how much your gut is related to everything guys if you're struggling with like cystic acne or acne that you cannot get rid of you need to

look at your food your gut your intolerances because a lot of the time it comes from gut health ginger ginger is such a good ingredient so basically in winter try and get as much like lemon ginger turmeric as possible you can do it in a hot water drink yes so what i do is i whisk them all up in my blender i've got the phillips juicer and it on black friday i will post it don't know how much it'll go down to this year i would 100 get it lauren it's usually about 60 70 quid no space on my work no this the reason why i love this juicer is it's a compact one oh she can put it away and get that big oh lovely okay very hard to clean not gonna lie all juicers are they're annoying as fuck but this one what i do with it is i put a whole unwaxed lemon guys you

get wax lemons no in most shops they're waxed i have no idea what the difference is i've never unwaxed so you look at them and see if they're shiny no it'll say waxed for it'll say oh because they stay fresh for longer no idea they put wax on them ew ew so get um and also stick to organic where you can unwax lemon organic ginger water and turmeric so i put a teaspoon of turmeric in there then i put the lemon in then i put the ginger in water get the ice cube tray off amazon for like the big cubes or the half circles right pour it in six of them that's you done for the week then freeze it and what do you do with it in the morning you boil your water pop it in and you pop it in what a little homemaker you are aren't i and then if someone is

ill i will boil honey it has to be a really good quality yes so there was a honey that i got last year which again is literally like medicine lauren if you put it on wounds i remember at liar when people had like a certain really bad wound or infection um and like wounds that weren't healing i remember them saying we're gonna manuka honey it and i was like the fuck you're gonna put fucking honey on it and these were nurses they were like yes we're gonna do a manuka honey dressing yeah i've got the you can buy off amazon the honey dressings but you've got to dress them because it's very sticky but literally it's honey so it goes in like what milligram of strength it is right okay and you can pay from like yeah home bargains b&m sell manuka honey you can pay from

like i don't know 10 quid to like 150 quid so squeezy honey from aldi isn't the same is it no exactly so um that often does go on black friday again but yeah that's good to have in your house i think of manuka honey yeah if you get a sore throat just a teaspoon of that i personally really don't rate the lemsip cold and flu things they make me feel they make me drowsy edgy i don't take anything like that like you know what i did used to bloody love um the aldi aldi night time oh they don't do them anymore and i think yeah i think it's because so it was a night day and night yeah because there was only six day ones and two nights right so lauren was right so i used to have to go and buy and i just i just use the night ones and they made me sleep so well and now they don't

the disc continued and i think it's because everyone was getting off the tits on them um bone broth is absolutely amazing for if you're getting poorly i swear by the thing that you can now buy an m&s the little discs yeah so in those discs i use about four each night on my taste of something yeah chicken stock so you would it's nice you'd lose it i can use it like a gravy or a stew or a soup if i'm even frying chicken i put one of them right in the pan with some butter okay um i what are we cooking with now right change your mind on the butter are we using whole butter kerrigal i've been getting the one that divinia taylor said from ricardo and it's like a unpasteurized so it's got not been filtered in any way french one so we're still using butter

whole butter to cook with so bone broth has got so many healing powers in it and it's got like really really high levels of collagen in there as well the kardashians literally drink it out of a cup i'm not quite there yet but there is a dalesford organic soup that they do on a cardo and in waitrose yeah that's absolutely gorgeous with bit like um like a stock yeah i'm sure you could make one if you had time like but yeah i'm not quite there yet other things natural home remedies for cold sores i suffer with cold sores every now and then l lysine tablets are fantastic for cold sores obviously you can get the acyclovir ones from the doctor but they make me feel very odd do they yeah don't know why they're very strong

yeah something in it but l lysine tablets and then the d manos d manos for in fact water infections and you can get you told me this actually you can get it for kids yes you can um so there's kids d-manners so i think kids actually girls more so they actually do suffer quite a lot with bladder infections and water infections don't they're wearing pull-ups especially yeah so the d-manners are for kids and they're like little tiny little yeah yeah thea takes them and she hasn't for a bit but if i've got a feeling that she's going to the toilet a lot or something i'll put her on those and i take them because i i've always suffered with my bladder the altrian um vitamins are amazing glutathione they do and they do it's liposomal so it basically
