Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome. Sorry, hang on. Hello, and welcome. Hello. This is an absolute disaster. That was Tommy rumbling me choking on. There was residue of this cold that I've had for like, not that I mentioned it, but it's still got it. Have you?
Starting point is 00:00:23 I still got like snot and phlegm. Have you? I thought ladies didn't get snot and phlegm. This one does. I've also taken to trumping every time I sit down for a wee. Oh, bleak. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:00:38 I think it's because I'm eating so much. Daisy's laughing. I think it's because I'm eating so much fibre at the moment, having not eaten any for up my pregnancy. But I tell you what's really bad. It's like me and Alex, like boy Alex, are in a stage of like kind of comatose, tiredness with a new baby.
Starting point is 00:00:55 So it's like I'll go to the loo in the middle of the night for a wee. And it's just like, I can just hear him like changing her navi going ha ha ha ha I'm just like But he still doesn't do it in front of you No he still he's still that goes down stairs Yeah Literally effectively shitting in the litter tray
Starting point is 00:01:13 Like oh my god He goes to the other like he'll go to the bathroom that I'm not near That's so time inefficient I know I know and it's like we'd be pausing real housewives And he just like goes upstairs And I'm like it would just do it down here Oh my god if you add up all the time
Starting point is 00:01:27 he moves floors No wonder his calves are so good and we but he goes up there to wee as well Why? I don't know Maybe he's got something embarrassing But then I see him naked
Starting point is 00:01:37 He looks fine Remind me to never burp in front of him I feel like he wouldn't like that Yeah he is like just so Clean Yeah yeah okay It's not great for me Because I feel so slovenly
Starting point is 00:01:49 And just like If childbirth isn't like horrendous enough And I'm just like I've got hairs coming out of plate Like everywhere I'm just You bleed for so long
Starting point is 00:01:56 Obviously like I look different and to top it all off I'm fucking farting I was going to ask this could be too much information for the podcast but I was thinking when we were we were talking to someone about periods before I was thinking have you had one yet no is it until you stop breastfeeding it depends so I think again generally the idea is is that breastfeeding is actually a contraceptive that's the that's nature's ideal it is not as it turns out reliable no because I saw a girl the day who's someone in her NCT class is five weeks pregnant and she has
Starting point is 00:02:30 an eight week old baby so I know like I could never and I had a fucking caesarian and I could never. What did you have do you know well I mean a baby? No like cesarean or vaginal but I see I don't a vaginal I think
Starting point is 00:02:45 fuck I mean unbelievable like and like I would take no charge like right now in my life no judgment but I would take no chances. If I was having sex and quite frankly who has the fucking energy? You wrap it up. We are not doing this
Starting point is 00:03:04 again right now. Hang on. Oh my God. Irish twins are babies that are born within a year. Yeah. And I would have to be pregnant now to do that. So that girl will have be sure. She'll have Irish twins. If I was pregnant
Starting point is 00:03:20 right this second, I would have another baby within the year. And then I would would have an Irish twin. It's not going to happen. She's not having one of those. It's not the deal, huh? I'm lucky sweetheart, no. I am.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yeah, this is my body right now. Oh my God, we need to talk to a podcast. I need. Oh my God, I'd love that. Imagine the horror of finding out. I think it is really hard for some women. I think some of them are really happy. Some people try because they want it.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah. And I think for some people it's like, fuck. Like, fuck. Fuck. Like, two under two is a thing that sounds awful. I mean, two under one. Oh, I couldn't remember. You might as well have had twins.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I know. Except you actually have to go through pregnancy twice, so it's worse. And just being pregnant, like, the whole way through. And there are different stages. And I know it's different for me because I had a horrible pregnancy. But I would just, like, lose all those, like, whole first year to be pregnant again. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah, I'm going to have to pick an age where she's a horror and then get pregnant again.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Yeah, they're like, terrible twos. but yeah no I haven't had a period yet and like it depends my friend had one last when she had a baby she breastfed she had one at 10 months so I actually I thought I was having one the other day because I got cramped but I actually think it was like the final part of my uterus shrinking so I've had no bleeding I've got no nothing so I'll keep you posted do you know how long your breast food for no my plan was like I'll go as long as I can so I thought maybe like well I thought I wanted to get her to her first jabs
Starting point is 00:04:57 I don't know why that was just like a marker in my head and you have those at six weeks so obviously did that now I'm thinking because I'm having no issues I'm really lucky it's going really well I'm going to keep going I think as a general rule for myself if they're old enough to ask for it
Starting point is 00:05:11 oh you're going to keep going I'm not going to keep going to I mean not until she can ask in like the Queen's English I mean like until she can like okay so I'm going to going to go now until I wean her. So six months. Okay. And then I think maybe just keep the night feed. Yeah. Like, and then I think I'll stop when she's like maybe nine months or a year. But I have, I'm putting no expectation. Because there's nothing to say that I won't get
Starting point is 00:05:35 the stitis tomorrow and not be able to keep going. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. So I don't want to like have a real hard, like, I'm going to keep going until she's this. And it's going to be like this beautiful chapter closing because it's so rarely like that. And I remember with Ash, Ashley like her little boy started biting her, didn't he? She just had to end. Yeah. Oh, I mean, realistically, the day she gets teeth,
Starting point is 00:06:00 she's out of there. But I mean, yeah, she was threatening teetting the other day. She was dribbling and stuff. I was like, it's too soon. You like this shit. You're going to have to... Does that mean, then? I mean, this is a stupid question, but then does that mean that you will have to be with her every single day? You'll not be able to
Starting point is 00:06:15 take a day away? Right now? Until 12 months. Well, I can pump, so I've been able, like, when I went to the theatre of the night, like, I pumped, and then I just left her with Alex. And, like, so what I'm kind of doing every now and then is just pumping, leaving a bunch in the freezer. Yeah. It's so boring.
Starting point is 00:06:35 But you don't want to pump with too much regularity because then your body thinks you need that much milk all the time. So if you pump at 9 a.m. every day, your body thinks you're feeding her at 9 a.m. every day, so it's going to make more milk. And then if you don't pump, your boobs are going to, like, explode. So, the medical term. So, yeah, like, I'm just collecting a little bit. But I currently have no plans to leave her But I also don't want to right now
Starting point is 00:06:53 Like I like the idea of, I really like the idea of going out for dinner Like I really want to do that If someone would have asked me out for dinner That would be nice Oh, do I want to go out for dinner? I would love to go out of dinner so much Yeah, that would be nice Because I'm finding the evening's a bit tough
Starting point is 00:07:06 At the moment Not for any reason other than the groundhog day And that's no disrespect to my baby I like I love having her But she finds the evening's tough And then, you know, you just don't really get much of an evening yeah um do you get to watch tv sort of she has her witching hour between like six and eight so she's like ah so it's like cool so we kind of eat dinner and but she doesn't sleep during that time she's like hi
Starting point is 00:07:31 she's like hi and she's great like it's so nice to play with her and stuff but it does mean you don't get to like because i'm working switch off you know normally when you finish work you kind of get like a couple of hours before bed we don't have those so like it would be quite nice to be able to, like, leave some milk in the fridge for Alex and then just, like, go out. Nice, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm going for, like, I'm going for a wedding at the end of July that I'm not going to take her to. Okay. So I'm, like, preparing myself for that to, like, pump and
Starting point is 00:07:57 and then leave with my mom or something. Have a nice mom yet, but... It should be fine. Better be. So, yeah, I don't know. It's a journey. But, yeah, right now I can't leave her because she's, you know, boss with her. But also, I'm a mom, so I feel like I should really be leaving her anyway. That's true. You've got a point, I guess. I keep being like, where would I get? Where would I go? Like, where would I go? Yeah, that is true. Like, she can come with it. She's with us today in the studio.
Starting point is 00:08:20 She is with us today. Yeah. Cut my sister's looking after in the room next door. Soundproof room next door. I don't know who that's better for, Katia or Rale. Who's crying louder. So, yeah. Nice. Yeah. So no period. Yeah, let us know when it comes. Thanks. I will be waiting on bait. Waiting on bait. I'm so intrigued. Okay. I've got something really funny to read out to you. I'm excited.
Starting point is 00:08:44 The subject line is that time I met Em and Alex. Oh, no. No. I know. And Amy, who does, the Instagram, has sent this to me
Starting point is 00:08:55 with the context of this is funny because you guys told this story in real time. So now we've got it from the other perspective. Oh, no, which one? Exactly. Hi, SIDT podcast team.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I hope you're all doing well. Congrats on the huge success at the podcast and welcome to the gang, Baby Alo. I thought I'd write in to tell you a little story about the time I met. Em and Alex in pertinent, in person, in pertinent. I haven't quite determined if this was more awkward for me or men,
Starting point is 00:09:20 but the listeners can decide if you ever share this story. In March last year, I had a planned dinner date with my best friend, a lovely restaurant called Mallow in London, and on the way there, we were chatting about should I delete that podcast. It was still quite new and how great it was. When we arrived, we were greeted by a waitress who took us upstairs through the busy restaurant to our table and a lot of side room. On the way there, I spotted two very familiar faces out of the corner of my eye.
Starting point is 00:09:42 and Alex were sat a couple of meters away from us having dinner with a friend. I did a double tape before grabbed my friend's arm and whispered M. Clarkson and Alex liked literally sat at the table right there. We sat down and I immediately thought about whether it was appropriate to go up to them, to tell them how much we loved
Starting point is 00:09:58 them and their podcast, but I really didn't want to get in the way of their dinner or look like a creepy stalker. So I decided the best thing to do was ask the waitress if she could bring some glasses of Proseco over to their table with a little message from us, nice and simple. Oh. I know. just after we'd ordered the Prosecco,
Starting point is 00:10:15 the waitress rushed back and said, I think they're leaving, actually. I didn't want to miss my chance, so I plucked up the courage to go over to them, and my friend joined a few steps behind me. I walked up to the table, Emma and Alex had their backs to us, and just started with a, hey, guys,
Starting point is 00:10:28 Emma immediately turned round and started rushing to gather her things saying, yeah, yeah, we're leaving now, so sorry, clearly thinking I was a waitress coming over to kick them out. Alex joined in apologising for taking so long, before I managed to say, oh, no, no, I don't work it. We just came over to tell you how much we love the podcast. I think we were all quite embarrassed at this point.
Starting point is 00:10:49 But they were so lovely to us. We had a little exchange via DMs about how funny the situation was. Turns out they'd been asked to leave a couple of times already. There's a restaurant needed their table packs so we looked like we'd come to tell them off. I just wanted to share this funny story. It was so great meeting M and Alex that night. And I've been listening to every single episode from day one. My friend, the same one who was at the restaurant that night.
Starting point is 00:11:08 And I have tickets to the live show. and we can't wait to see you all there thanks for all the hard work you put into the show and all the amazing stories you tell I'm so excited to meet you I'm so excited that we get to make up for last time yes yes yes we're going I remember telling the story it was our awkward
Starting point is 00:11:25 because it was awkward but we've been asked to leave the restaurant twice we were like oh my God we're fucking going we've not been that bad we've paid like we didn't dribble and we weren't offensive oh my god I forgot about that They were so nice.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I can't believe they were sending over for... I know. I know. That is so nice. I would have loved that. I mean, yeah. That's confident, though, because I would never be sure that someone was who I thought it was, you know? If I have, you know, someone online, I would never be sure.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I don't trust myself enough, I don't think. Would you not? I mean, it depends. Yeah, probably. Probably. Probably. Although sometimes I do that and I'm like, oh my God, it's... And then you look and you're like, no, it's not.
Starting point is 00:12:05 I do that with people that I think is Bill Nyee all the time. I'm probably not Bill Nye I had a thought about Bill Nye the other day I've only ever known him as an older man Do you think he just tried to be an actor for like 50 years? Do you know what? I thought that the other day because I was thinking about a film that makes me like... About time?
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah. I know. It's the only film that makes Alex cry. It's too much. I don't, I actually don't like it, but it's just too much for me, emotionally to deal with. Did you see he's going out with Anna Winter? Yes, I did. No, he's not. Yes, that's what reminded me.
Starting point is 00:12:40 He's going out with Anna Winter and they, apparently, they were friends for years and now they're going out with each other. No, they are not. So, yeah, this is why Bill Nye came into my psyche because I thought he was dating Anna Winter. I was like, cool. And then I said, I've never seen him as a young man. But maybe, I think he did theatre. But imagine only making it.
Starting point is 00:12:56 It gives hope to every struggling artist out there that Bill Nyee made it probably in his 40s or 50s and now he's shagging Anna Wintor. If he can still. you know now he's shagging on the winter as a name of this episode please
Starting point is 00:13:15 I kind of fancy him in a perverse sort of way so do why kind of yeah it's just sort of like no I don't think I fancy him I think I see him as like a fatherly figure
Starting point is 00:13:23 you know he's got breeze yeah there's something there's something like I don't know because if I look at any part of his body
Starting point is 00:13:37 you're not attracted I can't think of one thing that's like God that part of him so sexy I can't think like his sort of funny hair or like it's not you know I don't Yeah no yeah But then as a whole package
Starting point is 00:13:50 You're feeling it It's so yes It's a little soft and solid You know How old is he? Is he? Oh god I'd break I'd kill him
Starting point is 00:14:02 He's quite spinning as well. How old is Anna Wintour? How old is she? 73. She is an age... It's the same as, like, North Kardashian has been nine for as long as I've been aware of North Kardashian. Anna Wintel has the same energy. It's just completely ageless. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And she's... Yeah. But I think North West is still nine. But I feel like she's always... I feel like she was born nine. I feel like... I didn't even know she'd reach nine. I thought she was like five. She's nine. She's nine. I mean, bless her. you know it makes me sad because I see their TikTok videos all the time hers and Kim's and they've had to turn the comments off have they? Yeah they've been off for a really long time
Starting point is 00:14:44 have they I'm saying what are people saying probably everyone commenting that they're in their floppy area actually it'll be people commenting worse than that it'll be worse than that and it'll be about her about North West so they'll have to have yeah gross it's actually a mad life isn't it? Yes such a mad life she's like super TikTok famous
Starting point is 00:15:01 and she's nine nine yeah your brain isn't developed and mine still isn't you've got 20 years Oh, my God Your brain isn't developed Until you're like A sweat
Starting point is 00:15:11 Oh okay What were you going to say Like 50 Maybe I mean one could argue That your brain is always developing When does your brain Fully
Starting point is 00:15:19 Get fully developed Katty you said 34 No 24 24 24 24 Oh okay Right That's the smartest You're going to get Kat
Starting point is 00:15:26 Okay She's really smart Oh my god So I'm Toast Well past it I'm decaying Great
Starting point is 00:15:36 You have piqued. Okay, all right. Chill out. Okay, I have an awkward... Oh, okay. I like this. This one was written in with multiple awkward and embarrassing stories
Starting point is 00:15:50 from the last week alone. This is our kind of vibes, right? Hi guys, love the podcast. Mercury is in retrograde and is doing me dirty. It certainly is. Number one, had to take my car to the garage
Starting point is 00:16:01 and was given a courtesy car. I got into the car, but the key in the ignition, turned it and nothing happened. couldn't work out how to turn it on, had to suffer the sheer embarrassment of going back into the garage to ask someone to show me how to turn the car on. Number two, I had... What was wrong with her? I need to know.
Starting point is 00:16:16 She just couldn't turn it on. I think she just couldn't turn it on. I found car to see cars embarrassing in general. Do you? The pressure, the pressure of driving a car that isn't your own. And then when you give it back, like, no snacks, no residue. You can't, no, grease up things on the steering wheel. And I'd get awkward about, like, how to put the seat back to, to, like, well, when I found it.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Oh, God. As if I'd stolen it. I don't want anyone to know that I had this. I want no evidence of myself. You know, I don't know you obviously haven't put the seat back. You just fill up the tank and make sure it's not like,
Starting point is 00:16:48 you haven't crashed it. No, that's a rental car. Oh, what's a courtesy car? It's one that literally the garage gives you, like, when they've got your car. Oh. Very different. Rental car you pay for, so it's a fair exchange.
Starting point is 00:16:58 If you fuck up, you paid for it. Courtesy car? It's... Oh, yeah, I ship myself. Yeah. No, I ship myself. It's a goodwill gesture. Courtesy.
Starting point is 00:17:07 It's a courtesy. Don't do me a courtesy with something so expensive. I just say, no, thank you. I won't even take a biscuit from someone that I don't know. I'm not going to take a fucking car. Too much. Keep it, keep it. I will deal with the inconvenience.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Okay, number two, I had a virus and to be on the safe side, decided to do a COVID test while I was pushing the swab through my nose to the back of my throat. Hang on, through the nose to the back of her throat. That's not. I don't work because it's it. It doesn't go, you don't go through your nose and into the back of your throat.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Not if you want any, like, to survive. Oh my God, okay. While I was pushing the swab through my nose to the back of my throat, I lost my grasp on it, and the swab got stuck in my nasal cavity, and I couldn't get it out. Right, well, oh.
Starting point is 00:17:58 It's too far. It's too far. At one point, I thought I was going to have to go to A&E to get it removed. Luckily, I was able to get hold of it with a pair of twasers. Oh my God, that's not how it's supposed to go. That's not how it's supposed to go. I don't think she's doing it, right? That's not how it's supposed to go.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Also, I know the nose and throat are connected, but I don't think you can just put something. Actually, you can. You totally can, because I've had things come up the other way around. Like, I've had a pee go down my throat and out my nose. It makes me thinking Harry Potter the first one where the one goes up the troll's nose. Not that she's a troll, but that's the mental limit. Okay, I know it's connected, but you're definitely not supposed to put a swab.
Starting point is 00:18:36 No, you could do throat first then nose. Yeah, I'm supposed to loop it. It's not supposed to go in your nose, come out your mouth. All right, Dr. Light. I'm just distressed. I'm disturbed. Number three, managed to accidentally crush a bottle of milk in my backpack. All the rest of my shopping was swimming in milk.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Gross, because you could never get milk smell out. No, it's always going to smell a little bit sour. Number four, looked absolutely everywhere from my phone, through all of my bags and my coats, even went back down to the car, ended up using find my phone on another device, only to do. discover it was in my back pocket. Hope there gives everyone a bit of a laugh with 11 more days of Mercury in retrograde.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Hopefully there won't be any more disasters. So by the time this airs, Mercury will be out, but have you noticed anything going particularly haphazardly recently? No, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Have you not? Have you been good to? Is it been kind to you? Yeah, I think so. Oh, touch one of myself. Yeah, I don't think it's been very kind to me. Really? No, I've just felt like everything's gone wrong but I've kind of reached this really weird state of chill in my life where everything goes terribly. Yeah. And it's just kind of fine.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Okay. I mean, it isn't objectively, but nothing really bothers me anymore. I feel like you've always kind of been like that. Do you think? Yeah. I think what's happened. I think I always used to be like, oh yeah, nothing bothers me, but on the inside it really bothered me.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Right. But now I've, like, faked it until I made it. That's very much. I faked it until I made it. Because now it's like, oh yeah, I actually really don't care. Or maybe I just started really caring when I was pregnant. But what we're talking about things going wrong? Like, what scale?
Starting point is 00:20:17 Like, give me an idea. Because like some things you probably do need to worry about and like stress about. Tumble dry is broken. Oh yeah. Okay. washing machine's broken. Hoover's broken. Okay. So those are three quite expensive appliances.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Where are your appliance? The alliance is breaking. Mercury. It's mercury. I don't know what else it could be. It could be a plethora of things. Probably mercury, though. Probably mercury.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah. Yeah, that's an accumulative cost of like a lot. That is a lot, to be fair. It's a lot. It's a lot. And I'm really trying to weigh up. I keep saying to it, I'm really trying to weigh up what's most important. Washing machine, hands down.
Starting point is 00:21:00 They're all working. Okay. Just varying levels of success. okay so I agree I think the washing machine's the most important but the tumble dryer is the biggest fire hazard whilst it's not working so need to go out your house yes can't you have someone around who will fix all three I think they're just kind of person exists I'm sure they do I feel like those aren't an accurate summation of the things that have gone wrong but lots of things have gone wrong but I just but maybe it's just having a baby where things just do like oh you're running late and then it's like oh yeah she's shit everywhere and it's just like oh cool like yesterday you did six shit and it's like every which I got everything ready to go
Starting point is 00:21:37 and then it's just like and there's another one. Another one. Yeah, that's like, okay. That is, that's a lot, isn't it? But you just sort of because it's so annoying and especially to get it on the clothes as well. Yeah. There's nothing you can do. Yeah, but I mean I've heard Ramos that you could just put a cork up there
Starting point is 00:21:52 and just leave up at the day. What's that thing that you take that makes you constipated stops diarrhea and makes you constipated? Emodium. I'm not I'm not going to do that, Dr. Light. But thank you for the suggestion. That's my prescription. Corker
Starting point is 00:22:07 No, yeah She's not that you can do No, no, you just buckle up I can't believe they haven't come up with nappies That are more That actually hold all the poo I know Well, pamper's claimed to
Starting point is 00:22:18 They say it's pin army proof Come meet my kid We'll show you I told you didn't I was looking after my niece And she did a poo But like the poo didn't touch her nappy But it went It was all over the top of her back
Starting point is 00:22:33 Amazing But, okay, I was like, I can kind of, I can get on board with that. Like, maybe somehow it came off the top of the nappy. But the nappy was pristine. Were you holding her upside down? She was just, holding it by her ankles. Weirdest thing. I was like, how do you shit up your back?
Starting point is 00:22:50 It is amazing. She's shitting her socks in the day. I literally, I had my brother following me around with a little cloth just doing the floor. Someone's got to invent something, surely. Something better than this. Surely. But this is what I mean. It just sort of is what it is.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Everything just is what it is now. Maybe it's just I haven't really got the energy. I do think I'd cry more if I had more energy. Do you? I just don't really have any. So I'm like, okay. Okay. Well, there you go, silver lining.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Yeah, no, I'm just like, okay. Like, yeah, three morning. I was like, oh, Christ. Like, I'd literally slept for like 15 minutes. I was like, oh. And then I was like, I was like, I was going to sit here and cry. And I was like, I need to save the liquid for the milk. So I'm just going to go out for a walk.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Then I was fine, obviously. I have a silly little latte. and it smells alright You do love you You walk silly little walks You're silly little lolladays I'm walking so far Walking on
Starting point is 00:23:39 I'm averaging A hundred thousand steps a week At least I don't really I don't really have any grasp On the It's a bunch But it sounds like a lot
Starting point is 00:23:47 It's like seven or eight miles a day Oh god Why? Today's bringing the average down Why? You just like walking Truthfully It's a bit of a weird one
Starting point is 00:23:57 When you have a baby Because I don't want to be in the house All day every day Yeah I didn't do NCT classes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:04 So I don't really have like loads of baby friends. I'm also in quite a weird position where I'm working. Yeah. So where other moms are like going out for lunch and stuff together or like baby groups or baby classes.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I can't really do those because I'm back at work. So I haven't really got the time to do because you can't just go to one off. Like you have to book like the term. So it's like I looked at like baby sensory and stuff and it's like we've got to book every Wednesday at 11.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I can't do that. Like today's a Wednesday and we're recording. So it's like can't do that. So I haven't really got the like plans out of the house and like there's not that many people to play with every day. I'm like I want to do stuff every day because I don't like being at home. Yeah. But then I've got to work.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I've got to get the balance right. So figuring it out. Yeah. And it's just like I can't go and work remotely in a cafe because I've got a baby. So it's like if I'm going to work, I need to do it at home so I can have her in the bouncer or have her down for a nap or whatever. So then it's like just kind of the only time I get out of the house and it's just really important to me. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. So you should join a class though. And we just, we won't do the podcast on those. days and just don't do your own. But it's just, you know, like in general, I think we need a bit
Starting point is 00:25:05 more flexibility just with our jobs, like, if I've got to shoot something or if something comes in or, you know what I mean? So, yeah, like, I could find classes. And I have my Pilates. I do that on Wednesday afternoon, which I am missing today, but that was, that's my bad. But that's just one week. But otherwise, like, that's really important. And like, and I just make a plan night before. But I think that's why walking's so good. It's something that I can do with Arlo, she sleeps. Yeah. I can talk to my friends. I love it. I love it. Yeah. It's really good for mental health. And I can, I can work, like, lucky with our job. Like, like, I edit my ads out on walks and stuff now.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Do you? Yeah. Just because it's like, do I just don't look up much. I'm just like on my phone. Oh my God. I die in like three seconds. I'd be well,
Starting point is 00:25:41 alright. And I've got like Ollo in the carrier. So it's like I've got my hands. I've got my hands. Yeah. So good that you could just have her in the carrier not a pram. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Oh, do you have to take a pram out with you. That's so good. Yeah. Love it. Because I was thinking, oh my God, it looks like, Oh, it's just sort of looks so lumbusome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:56 No, yeah, it is. I bought the pram. I bought the pram into London today and it's just bullshit because people push you into the road like central Londoners do not give a flying fuck for you or your baby Did anyone help you on the tube?
Starting point is 00:26:07 I didn't get the tube Oh you drove you drove you drove yeah because I was just like I can't do rush hour with the pram but the carrier no drama Like I'm just like a koala Nice kangaroo Coala yeah and is it heavy Obviously I mean yeah it's the weight of her
Starting point is 00:26:20 So she's getting progressively heavier And they say that having a baby Or like raising a baby is like the best form of like progressive weight lifting don't they? Yeah, because she's getting heavier and heavier. Like my sister, she's the most puny little thing in the entire world. She's not had a muscle to my name, honestly. And suddenly, she's like, Popeye.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I looked about yesterday. I was like, oh my God, I got my triceps back. And it's literally just from like, Yeah, you will do. Yeah, you will do. Yeah. But yeah, that sounds really deep about like the mental health thing. But I think it's actually important because I do think on Instagram I'm kind of showing that it's great. And it is really great, but we are having to put things in place for like the evenings that can be tough and like for the days.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Like in the morning, if I wake up And I've got the whole day stretching ahead of me Well, like, I've got work to do But it's all in the house It can be a bit like And you just don't like being in the house No You never have.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I love my house But also, bear in mind My neighbours are literally knocking theirs down right now And Alex is working from home A lot of the days Yeah And if I don't get out
Starting point is 00:27:15 And it's just like It's a lot Yeah, there's no Like, there's nothing to break up the day It's like from 8 a.m. Until 6, 5am realistically, until like 9pm It's just
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yeah, that sounds like a lot a solid line. So I have to break it up. But that sounds like a bad thing. It's not a bad thing. No, it's not. But it is important to break it up. But I do think you should look into like baby classes.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Well, selfishly, selfishly, I've found a PT who I can take Arlo to the gym with me. Amazing. That would be really good. At this age, I feel like sensory-wise, she doesn't know if she's looking at the ceiling of a town hall or a gym or a baby sensory. Like when she's older and it's good for her developmental stuff. We'll go and do that.
Starting point is 00:27:58 But right now, she doesn't know which way is Friday. I feel like people do it. It's just a reason to, like, meet other months, right? Rather than... Yeah. So I think, like, two birds of one stone. Like, I can get her out the house. I can go and do a PT session.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I found some that I can take a baby to. So that feels, like, quite good. You should so hang out with Catherine as well. I know. We're going to, but I thought you might be angry with me. Oh, my God, when? See? I am angry.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I suggested it. And now, a second later, I'm fuming. Go on. You should hang out with my sister. It'd be really good for your mental health. but not without me you fucking bitch How rude Would you like to come?
