Starting point is 00:00:00 Green, the colour of true elation Pond on a summer's day, see I've been waiting for you, waiting for you Hello Innis and Outis and welcome back to this episode of The Inns and Outs with myself Jojo Barr and the lovely Pollyanna Wilkinson. On this week's episode I am back and I'm catching you up on my life lately. Polly cheers me up with a rude joke and tells us what her children caught her and Mr Big doing in the bedroom. What to do in the garden in May. Polly gives advice on repeat planting and a little bit more on my hairy ankles and Polly's toes. So let's jump on in. Hello my old girl.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Hello, my darling. How are you? Welcome back. Welcome back. Thank you, my sweet. Well, how are you? More importantly. Oh, my. I've got so many things open on my screen in front of me. I've got like kids homework.
Starting point is 00:01:02 I've got to do lists. I've got like that's that is how I am at the moment. My life at the moment is, as you know, my lovely pops passed away two and a half weeks ago. And it's all been a bit of a whirlwind since because my god, planning funerals is, is like, it's really quite full on, it's quite intense, there's so much to do. And just the amount of admin is not just even with the funeral, just in dad's passing has been super intense. I just, everyone says that and you're like, yeah, there's affairs in order. It's just a lot, the whole probate and the, it's really quite full on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:45 A lot of death admin. A load of death admin. And funeral is... The funeral thing is quite... I just didn't expect it to be quite so intense because unlike a wedding, which is obviously fun, you don't really know how many people are going to turn up. And so my mum can't even get through the door for the amount of letters and cards that are just pouring in. And even myself, I've had, you know, family friends and people reaching out to me that were like, I met your dad. And I, you know, he's really special man. He was very, very popular. And because he died far too early, it means that he still has hundreds of friends who seemingly all want to come to the funeral. And the funeral is
Starting point is 00:02:25 now looking like it's going to be... So we had to find a venue that could take the amount of people because it could be up to 300 people. Oh, sugar. Yeah. And therefore you're sort of looking at, you know, caterers and the venue that can take everyone. But then it's not like you can get people to RSVP and we simply don't have the time to even manage that because they happen, you know, funerals happen within, within sort of month, month and a half.
Starting point is 00:02:49 And so it's a lot. And I've got to write dad's, I've got to write dad's eulogy. Oh bless you, you're doing that, are you? I'm doing that one, yeah. Oh love. I know before he passed away, he looked at us and he said, you're both do speeches for me, you know, at the funeral, won't you? And I was like, and Lulu just looked at me and he said you you you'll both do you'll both do speeches for me you know the wedding at the funeral won't you and I was like and Lulu just looked
Starting point is 00:03:07 at me she's like she will she will and he's like you know I think you should too darling so I think she's going to do a little something we're going to we're going to stand together and hold very much hold hands so oh bless you oh I'm trying to get through that I mean no one would mind if you didn't but no I know I feel like it's I feel like it's an honor to read it. You know, my dad's funeral. I'm, I'm in a weird way looking forward to it because I think it would be doing him a service and I only wish I, I wrote my dad a letter actually before he died and I read it to him. Um, and before, so when I was in the hospice, the last, the final week, I was
Starting point is 00:03:41 literally, we were, I was recording all of my conversations with him, which without him knowing, but I just wanted to have his voice and these little snippets of things that I was saying to him that obviously quite meaningful at the time. I might find it harder and harder as time goes on to actually listen to them, but they're there. And so I read my letter to him and that was super emotional, but it's really special as well. Must be, when you're dying, I guess it must be so lovely to know that everyone around you is, you know, they're happy. And I said to him, I love my life, I'm happy with my life.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I couldn't be, you know, all those things you get to say to your father is, I'm very, very lucky that I got to have those moments with him because- I'm glad you did. Yeah, but then the grief hits and then it's like, whoa. So you're sort of dealing with grief whilst managing funeral whilst, you know, Oh, there's just the admin. It's a lot. Anyone? Yeah. Costs an absolute bloody fortune for you as well, doesn't it? What a racket.
Starting point is 00:04:38 What a racket. Put me in a cardboard box. Well, that's what dad said, but dad wants it to be buried in a cardboard box. Well, that's what dad said, but dad wanted to be buried in a cardboard box under a tree, obviously he wants it to be buried under a tree. And so we found this amazing natural burial ground. It's absolutely beautiful. You're literally standing in a meadow with trees and you wouldn't know that you're in, you wouldn't know that there's basically, you know, thousands of people buried underneath
Starting point is 00:05:04 your feet. Well, that's true thousands of people buried underneath your feet. Well that's a great way to find people. Yeah true actually. The only way to find people is with these little silver squares that have got a little coat on them. There's so much wildflower grass and everything growing up around them. But anyway, found this lovely plot for him under this oak tree and a cardboard box. Now the cardboard box is the cheap bit. That sounds like, well done dad. But being buried, blimey, that's expensive. Is it? Yeah being buried is, yeah, it's probably two-thirds more expensive than cremation. Because of the hole digging? I guess
Starting point is 00:05:35 because of the just taking up space aren't you? I get no idea. Yeah you're taking up, you're taking up that little you know plot of space forevermore. No one can be buried on top of you. That is your plot forevermore. And so we can go to this beautiful wildflower meadow with the kids and visit Dad whenever we like. And that's super special, so we're really happy about that. That's lovely. Mum was like, oh, just cremate me and just throw my ashes all over the place. I don't mind. It's amazing how people have such different wants, I guess, for when they're gone. And how are you coping with the small fact that you're still a mum and a business owner
Starting point is 00:06:14 at the same time as trying to navigate all of this admin and grief? Well, the team were absolutely amazing and that first week was super, it was a hollow feeling. It was very intense. The grief was very intense. I lean into gratitude a lot and I am quite woo-woo, you know, so I also lean into the fact that I can feel dad around me and I can feel his presence and I made him promise me that he would come back and see me on a regular basis as a Robin. And I said, I'll look out for the really chubby Robin and if I see him and he's hanging out with me, then I know it's you. And he said, I'll look out for the really chubby Robin. And if I see him and he's hanging out with me, then I know it's you. And he said, I promise.
Starting point is 00:06:46 And we shook on it. So that's what I sort of hold on to, is those little moments. And actually when the sun shines, I sort of feel him. And I don't know if anyone else has lost a loved one. When the sun comes out for some reason, probably because it's lifting as well, right? So you feel uplifted.
Starting point is 00:06:59 So that's been really comforting this time of year that we're lucky to have all this beautiful weather and sunshine and nature, which has just been such a gift. But I have to say, I went through this strange feeling. Paul, for anyone that doesn't know, Paul used to be a grief counselor, didn't he Paul? So Paul, you've been a huge help to me. But, and just sort of understanding it. And I don't think it's like a wave. And you go sort of climbs and climbs, and then it's sort of crescendos.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And it's like someone squeezing your heart in a vice at the thought that you're never gonna see this person that you love so much. And you just love their voice and their physical presence, and they're no longer there. And you can hold onto memories, and you can look at photos and videos, but it's the fact that you can't just pick up the phone
Starting point is 00:07:47 and say, hey dad, I just got this thing to tell you I'm so excited to tell you about. So that will look like, you know, never be able to get that back. And it is, you know, it's a given. We're all gonna die, but we're not really that prepared for it. And actually someone sent me something I found very useful,
Starting point is 00:08:01 which I don't know if you've heard about Paul, it's called the grief button. And essentially there's a, so you've got a box and in the box is a button. And when you when you first experience grief, so when you when I first lost out the ball inside this box is huge, the grief ball is huge. And of course, it can't every time I move, the grief ball hits the button. And it just keeps like, you know, it's it's intense. It's every minute I'm thinking about it and thinking about it. As time goes on, the ball gets smaller, but the button and it just keeps like, you know, it's, it's intense. It's every minute I'm thinking about it and thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:08:25 As time goes on, the ball gets smaller, but the button doesn't. And occasionally, every time you move, you might suddenly do something and it'll hit the grief button. The grief feeling of grief is never any less, but the amount of times it happens. Gets less and you learn to live, you learn to live with it. So it's, it's a really good analogy. And I found that super useful to kind of get my head around and understand that the feeling is always going to be there. I'm always going to suddenly have these
Starting point is 00:08:48 feelings of like this gripping of you know, God I'm never going to see him again. But then it's just yeah, I suppose you learn to live with your grief manager don't you? And you've just got to pick yourself back up again. Life has to go on and you can't stick your head under a rock. I've got two young children who need me. They don't, you know, when I'm sort of crying my eyes out in the utility room, folding the washing, they'll just come in and wrap their little arms around me and say, oh, mommy, you know, is it Pippi?
Starting point is 00:09:17 You know, and they'll say, he's up in the sky now. You know, they'll say something really sweet. Oh, that's so sweet. And then they'll be like, you know, mommy, can I have a snack now? Can I have an ice cream? And then you have no option but to just... And on you go. And on you go. And then it's just, you know, on and on and on it goes. But life has changed.
Starting point is 00:09:35 My perception of life has changed. How so? When you have young children of your own, you suddenly see when your parent dies that you're going to be that person one day. And it's how I can prepare my children for when that happens, because I don't think the older generation did that a very good job of that. Even to the point where for dad's funeral, a lot of the, you know, people are saying, Oh, you're not going to bring the kids, are you? You're not going to, you know, they will find that really upsetting. I'm of the mind, I think kids should be involved in funerals and they should see and let them read the books and
Starting point is 00:10:02 let them understand where they go, where people go and yeah so I'm very much involved in the kids. Ziggy's actually going to do a little reading at dad's little poem. She wants to do it, I know. She might not when she sees this 300 people looking back at her but we'll see. And Paul I so appreciate your, you've just been so incredibly supportive. Paul every day, pretty much every day, has just been sending me a little message, just going, just dropping in to say hi, just dropping in to say if you're okay, no need to reply, which has been so comforting and so lovely and thank you. And well done Colin, by the way, last week. Oh, bless him. He was so nervous. He was sweating bullets.
Starting point is 00:10:41 You guys did so well. And it was really lovely to hear. It's really funny to hear someone else on my podcast. I was like, oh. It felt really weird. It was, and actually, do you know what? I felt very uncomfortable almost opening up our dynamic for Scrutiny. He did so well.
Starting point is 00:11:00 He was so nervous, bless him. But it was- You were brilliant. You were both so lovely. I was like, yeah, let's not not do this let's not do this frequently it is a funny thing we've often spoken about having guests on the show more um and it's a funny thing is now we probably should but maybe we maybe we just maybe we don't know well we'll see we'll just see where this goes guys we'll just see what my favorite bit was producer andy message when I took out all the icky flirting.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Thanks Andy. Well done Andy. I've been saving up little nuggets of joy for you. Oh what? Tell me. Well I've got a really good joke for you. Give me your nugget. Give me your joke nugget. Okay I'll give you my joke. Better be rude.
Starting point is 00:11:43 It is. You can bring out the smutty flirting for me, and you won't cut that. Okay. Go on. I've been keeping this in my little hamster pouch ready for you. Okay, so.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Three French guys get invited to a costume party. The theme for the party is that you have to dress like an emotion. The first guy turns out wearing a pair costume. The second guy is wearing a dress. And the third guy is completely naked, except for he has a pot of custard on his penis. They ring the bell and the host opens the door. He looks them up and down.
Starting point is 00:12:22 He's like, you guys aren't on theme. You can't come to this party. And the first guy goes, what are you talking about? I'm in despair. Because he's dressed as a pear. The host shrugs and lets him in. The second guy goes, what are you talking about? I'm in distress. And the host shrugs and goes, yeah, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And he stops the third guy who's naked except for the pot of custard on his penis. And he says, there's no way you're on theme. And he goes, the third guy goes, what are you talking about? I'm fucking disgusted. Oh my God, that is such, and I'm not joking. I think I first heard that joke when I was about 16, probably my dad and it was got me so good but would you ever be able to remember
Starting point is 00:13:11 a joke like that? No which is why I had to read it. It's very good. I do love a dirty joke. I'm glad it raised a smile. It did my love I love that one. Second reason to smile. Go on give me another. Or to laugh at me.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Go on. And I almost messaged you this, but I thought, no, she's grieving. This is inappropriate. My children saw Mr. Big and I doing the dirty. Oh, no! Through a keyhole, little perverts. Which one saw?
Starting point is 00:13:44 Both of them? Both. The door was closed. The responsible parenting door was closed. The door was locked. The keyhole has got a hole under it where the guys have drilled the hole but it's not been filled in. I did think I heard some little footsteps, but I was like, no, because the door's closed, the door's locked, we're fine. Came downstairs to a babysitter, like the baby, like was finishing getting ready
Starting point is 00:14:14 for a night out, came downstairs to the babysitter and they said, in front of the 17 year old babysitter, we just saw you having sex. And I was like, no, you didn't darling, no you didn't. But the babysitter was rocking in silent laughter, as I was like, no darling, I don't know what you're talking about. Shh, shh.
Starting point is 00:14:35 They were like, we looked through the keyhole, we saw it. I love the fact that you guys were having like a cheeky shag while the babysitter was downstairs with the kids. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the kids. No no no no no no no no no after it no no no no that would be outrageous. We were getting ready to go out for the evening one thing led to another then the babysitter arrived. It was just mortifying. Oh that's so good. That's taken me right back to when I was when I was a little girl and we lived in, our bedroom was right on the top floor and next to our bedroom was the au pair's bedroom. And she was this really quite prim and proper French au pair
Starting point is 00:15:15 that turned up and she was sort of 19 years old. And within about six months of her being with us, or a few months of her being with us, she had met a guy that was in a band, black hair, sort of a guitar player. She cut all her hair off, dyed it black, started wearing all black. My parents were absolutely horrified. But this one time that she was left on her own with us, my parents were going on a long weekend skiing. I think I must have been about eight and my sister and I were like, you know, just in the house playing and the boyfriend had come over and I couldn't find her anywhere and I
Starting point is 00:15:52 went up to her bedroom and I sort of looked down the corridor, the door was closed and exactly the same one of those really old-fashioned keyholes and I looked in and I saw just everything, like everything you just don't want to be seeing when you're eight years old. And I called, so I didn't say anything to her, but I told my sister and later that evening we called every night, it's sort of, you know, on the house phone, landline, call parents, tell them what's going on. And I told them I saw her having sex in front of her and they got home and fired her. Yeah she went back to France that week after and I've never been the same again since. But you have to be really
Starting point is 00:16:31 careful. You gotta be real careful what your kids at that age can see. I mean it was just unfortunate that we were right in the eye line of the keyhole. Why don't you just cotton wool up the old keyhole? Yeah lesson learned. Then we had to sit down and explain to them, because then they said, well, do you want a baby? And I was like, no, no. And then we then we sort of had to explain, it's a good thing and it's something that adults do that love each other.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And it's it's it's lovely. You know, it means we love each other very much. And but you're not allowed to do it until you're 16. Yeah, all of that. But actually, they've not raised it since. I think they thought it until you're 16. Yeah, all of that. But actually they've not raised it since, I think they thought it was hilarious actually. They weren't, and I was like, guys, you're gonna remember this one for life.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yeah, that's good. Sorry. So that's a really good story. Lifting my spirits, doing wonders. What next? What more? Give me more. What more joy have I got for you? I've built a chicken cage. Yes, you're chicken.
Starting point is 00:17:26 No, it's not a cage. I keep calling it a cage. It's a run. The girls are coming. The girls arrived. I heard on the pod you've got five babies arriving. Yeah, so they're coming. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Yeah. The kids will be thinking you gave birth to those. So after seeing what you did in the bedroom. That's the closest I'm going to get to having girls in the house. Yes. Isn't it? It is actually, yes. I'm outnumbered. You could take them shopping with you.
Starting point is 00:17:51 I did ask Colin if there was such thing as a lead for a chicken. Chicken leads, yeah. And take them on a walk. That would be quite fun, wouldn't it? Why not? I could be that lady walking through Surrey. I did see someone the other day walking a ferret and I wasn't sure what she thought
Starting point is 00:18:07 about that. Like literally this person had a ferret on a lead and I just don't know how I feel about that. They probably thought they were sort of jaunty and interesting. To be fair they probably are because they're jaunty and interesting if you walk a ferret. It's like people that walk cats. I don't really think I agree with that either. People that walk cats. I suppose if you're in London and you buy a house cat. Is that a thing?
Starting point is 00:18:28 It's a real thing. People walk cats. Yeah. I'm not sure I think, yeah. I'm supposed to give them some exercise, but. If it's a house cat, one that's sort of not trusted to be out and about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:42 That's my news pal, it's all just been filth and chickens. Before we jump into questions, it is the start of a new month, well, ish. We're sort of in the middle actually when this comes out. But should we give all our outies some jobs to do out in the garden in May? Yes, yes, yes, yes, because now it's busy. May, I like to think of it as garden in Christmas. So, really, really busy time, there's so much to do, but I think a little tip for you, which I find to stop being overwhelming,
Starting point is 00:19:15 is just do five minutes a day. Most of these things you don't need to do all of it at once. Just like go out and do five minutes, that's all you need. That is such good advice. Such good advice, because it can feel deeply overwhelming when you look out your garden and you think, oh my God, look at all those weeds. Totally, but if you're just like, I'm just gonna do five minutes, that one bed, five minutes, and then do, you know, I just, otherwise,
Starting point is 00:19:39 it's not meant to be joyless, so. Yes, okay. You are going to, so mate, depends where you live, but let's assume you're in the UK and the frost should be passed about now, maybe in about a week if you're somewhere particularly cold. So you can plant out your dahlias, get them in the ground, loads of questions about how to protect them from slugs. So what I found worked really well was wool pellets around it. And then there's this natural spray completely natural it doesn't hurt anything it's called grazers and you can get it on Amazon and the likes of that and I sprayed all of my
Starting point is 00:20:13 dahlias with that last year every sort of week or even twice a week and that seems to put them off and also nematodes if you can be bothered and if you've if they're in pots then copper tape. So you have to prong it like four prong it to get your dahlias out. You can do the Chelsea chop which is when certain plants like your nepetas do really really well with this but also sedum, asters, it's when you basically cut them down by half and what that's going to do is mean that they don't get really big and unruly. It's going to delay their flowering a bit so you've got two choices you can either cut the whole thing back by half and it will delay it
Starting point is 00:20:51 and keep it compact or you could cut back half of it by half and then you'll get some that flowers now some that flowers later. You're going to harden off any seedlings and you can start planting stuff outside as well when the frosts have passed and oh a little tip this one always really annoys people so alliums which we all love that sort of ball on a stick purple ball on a stick always have really tatty leaves before the flower they go really yellow and manky and I know I talk a lot about how you shouldn't touch the leaves of bulbs because they're photosynthesizing and they're putting their energy in but as soon as the leaves of bulbs because they're photosynthesizing and they're putting their energy in. But as soon as the leaves have gone yellow, they've done their job. They're like finished. So if you cut them off.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I haven't even got rid of my daffodils yet. They're just looking really tatty and gross. Sorry, not daffodils, my tulips. Your tulips. Yeah, the tulips, you do sort of have to wait for them to die back, which is what's so annoying, which is why I often pull them up and start again the next year. Oh, that's why. Yeah. Okay. So I've got to live with them. Because I'm impatient. So those are your bits. And then also no mow-mow, which is really divisive because people get very annoyed about what happens when you mow it down in terms of it's more work and your lawn doesn't always look quite so good when you do it. But if you've got a big plot,
Starting point is 00:22:00 I'm not going to tell you to do it if you've got an urban space and you need that little space. But if you've got a bigger plot and you can not mow some of that lawn, let the lawn seed and the flowers in the lawn come to flower. It means this great nectar for the pollinators. It really helps all of our pollinators and insect life. Then do that for May and you can mow it in June or July so just hand some of it over if you can. We have a crazy crazy amount of daisies all over the lawn. As soon as you mow it, next day they're up again. Which is sort of nice but there is just something about having a really nice moan. Moan? Is that a word? Moan? Yeah, yep.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Is that a funny word isn't it? Moan. There is something about having a nicely moan lawn that just looks a bit like shaving your legs isn't it? 100% exactly the same. I don't want to be seeing that underneath you know hanging out the bottom of my trousers. But actually much like No Mo May, not shaving your legs great for the pollinators. Not great for the not great for your partner not so great. Sometimes I was actually in the office a couple of days ago and I
Starting point is 00:23:20 looked down at my legs and you know when you wear cropped trousers don't we? Yeah. And just looked down I was legs and you know when you wear cropped trousers don't we? Yeah. And I just looked down and I was like, if you let that go anymore, you are going to be... You look like you're wearing socks. You're going to be contending with a shy horse, like a shy horse. Just the hair just like hanging around those ankles, disgusting. hair just like hanging around those ankles. Disgusting. I literally repulsed myself. I was like, that is offensive. I cannot believe it.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Stop it. You're arousing me. Tell you what I did get the other day. God, it's totally like grass from innings and outies questions. Well, why is it that men have electric razors? Like, you know, they can just walk down the street, shave the bit, shave the faces we don't have those will they exist and I bought one so you just you could just have it in the car so you've got a little hairy knee you know like we always miss the knee right ladies you always miss me like it looks like a little deep it looks like a de-bobbler basically but it's a little women's electric razor and you just shave wherever you want to, whenever you want.
Starting point is 00:24:28 On the fly. On the fly. Just shave it off on the fly. What's it called? Like shave and go? No, I'll send the one I've got. I mean, I went with, obviously, because I love to do a bit of a deep dive into reviews. So I got the best one I could find. I'll share it on the story notes. But yeah, it sort of makes sense. There's nothing worse than just... You've got the shaving go. I've got the... Do you know what? And it was worth the investment. I'm so glad I did. The Phillips LED laser, the handheld laser.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Does it actually work? Yeah. I don't really shave my legs anymore. Can I use that on my chin? Yes, you can use it on your face, your bikini line, your armpits and your legs. And anywhere else that might be hairy. And that one that pops up on the nipple that just wants to keep coming. Yeah. Do you think I might have overshared on this podcast today?
Starting point is 00:25:19 We all know about your hairy nipple, you've told us about that before. Am I an oversharer? Am I an oversharer? Am I an oversharer? I think we've both bridged that one this week pal. Anyway for god's sake questions. Sorry okay should we do a question? I'm gonna go with this one from Sam. Hi I love the pod I've just bought Polly's book Jojo please write an interiors one as I need that in my life. Don't we all? Maybe it's coming. I have an anti-question for Polly.
Starting point is 00:25:48 If I'm repeat planting perennials and grasses, am I also doing that with large shrubs as viburnum, opulus, roseum? If I have, for example, a 10-metre border, would you plant a couple a few metres apart? I value your advice so much. You both give me so much confidence when really I'm a total novice at ins and outs. Lots of love. Thanks, Sam. That's a really great question. So the answer is ideally, yes, you would repeat the shrubs if you've got enough space because but equally, if you don't, you could just have one if it's quite an ornamental shrub that's going to get quite big and is going to be sort of the star plant of it. So
Starting point is 00:26:24 if we're talking something small like hydrangeas which are a shrub or small yubels, again they are shrubs, yes we would repeat those. Certainly things like hydrangeas or small things like Daphnes I would prefer you had more than one so that they had some context. If however it's a really chunky shrub that's going to get whopping arguably the size of a small tree then you don't necessarily need to. So it is a sort of case-by-case basis the bigger your borders the more I would encourage you to repeat your shrubs the smaller your borders the harder that will be to do so either use smaller
Starting point is 00:26:54 shrubs that you repeat or less. All right then my love I guess this just leads us to one last question before we close out this episode which is what is in and what is out? What's in for you, my love? In for me is a new book. You know how I loved A Court of Thorns and Roses? You know how I love My Fairy Porn? There's a new one and this was recommended
Starting point is 00:27:17 by an in-betweenie and it's called Quicksilver. And unfortunately, it's the first in a series and we have to wait for the second ones. But if you loved Akutah and you love Fourth Wing, then Quicksilver is by Callie Hart. And it was another one I listened to on Audible. Highly recommend. So that's my little book club in.
Starting point is 00:27:35 What about you? Well, I finally got myself into Dying for Sex, which is the episode that Polly told me to watch, which is, now I get it, it's absolutely brilliant. So for anyone that needs a new series, Dying for Sex really is amazing. The other infamy is my gigantic water bottle. I've become a big water bottle wanker, if there is such a thing, because I see people with like big water bottles on their desks and I'm like yes god that person that just hydrates all day long like look at you just
Starting point is 00:28:09 hydrating yourself all day I've become a hydrating wanker I am a big water bottle wanker now. It's those big Stanley ones isn't it they're terribly fashionable with the young, the youngins. Yeah I went with a I went with a brewmate which I basically needed to like really mortgage my house to buy I don't know why I just got that carried away. But there we go. Look at it. Some thing of beauty. Brew mate. My big old water bottle. Okay. It's got a little twisty top. It's very, very...
Starting point is 00:28:34 It does, I have to say, you see it in front of you and it does make you reach for it, but it also makes me run to the loo a lot because I'm hydrating now. I'm hydrating. I'm hydrated. And you look it glowing what's out for you my darling out is my toes because I gave in and I bought some of those open weave ballet flats I was talking about a couple of weeks ago just from H&M because I'm I know it's not like a it's it's not gonna be you know it's not a classic item is is it? But there's some lovely, mesh-y sort of, you can see your toes through them, which is a bit weird. But I love it.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Do you know what I love about you? Tell me. You always do what you say you're going to do. You say something or you say you like something and you just, you just get it, you go for it. You see it, you get it, you go for it. You follow your impression. I'm actually going to win the lottery next week oh okay because I really need to do my house up at some point in this next 10 years you got it you're gonna see it and you can say it
Starting point is 00:29:36 and you're gonna do it you're gonna win it and you know win it I'll stop it stop it it's win it Polly you ought to be in it to win it okay um do you know what got to be in it to win it, okay? Do you know what's nearly out for me? Your leg hair, out the bottom of your jeans. My Invisi line. I just call it Invisi line, Invisi line. My Invisi line is nearly out. I'm on my last retainer. Oh, amazing.
Starting point is 00:30:01 And I'm thrilled. Highly recommend you get the little metal brace behind your teeth when you're finished. What do you think? Because I did it and then, because you're meant to wear the, you know, one every night for the rest of your life, aren't you? And let's face it, who's going to do that? So the metal brace, the like little bar is a good way of sort of holding everything in place afterwards. I don't know if I like the idea of all the food and stuff getting stuck in it. And you can see it.
Starting point is 00:30:23 It doesn't. No, no, I'm just going to wear the plastic brace at night mate. We'll just wear the plastic brace for the rest of our life. I've worn them for like a year and a half now these things. I've had so many corrections that I finally got, yeah, I think I'm so used to wearing them that I'm gonna just crack on. Fine, so be it. On that note, I really, really have got to go and crack through about my, the biggest to-do list I've ever had in my entire life. Well, it's lovely to have you back, my friend. Thank you, my darling. And it's so nice to be back. And thanks everyone for your patience
Starting point is 00:30:52 and for all your love. As always, you're the best. You are the best. And you can show you're the best by liking, subscribing, and sharing. Very good. Thanks everyone. Love you all. See you next time.
