Hello everyone and welcome to Daily Brightness. First of all, Millate what you've been up to this week. I see that you've been back home, back down south, back home, back down south. Which public has changed your illness. I am just a heads-up for anyone listening. If you hear me sniffling and wonder why I sound horrendous

and look horrendous, it is because I am sick. But we keep moving, the world keeps turning. Can't get me down. But yeah, I've had a really good week. I've been back home. It's been amazing. And then I came back, had two days of rehab, and then I quickly went home again, just to help finish planting the trees at the field, which I can't wait to show you.

Mum and Dad will have planted thousands of trees, like, it's crazy. So I've been digging, planting trees, spending time with kids. And then, yeah, progressing in rehab, so it's been a good week all round. I'm out of the boot, finally. Oh, nice. Can you drive now, yeah. Everyone stay off the roads. You don't understand how painful it's been not driving. It's, oh, my God, I love my car, love my own.

space just having my music on not having to deal with people driving me I appreciate it but I prefer to drive myself. Everybody's stay off the roads yeah Millie's not been on the roads for three weeks so I'm let loose yeah traffic incidents have been a lot less than the past week yeah I've had a nice week I had a nice week

and off so went away to an Airbnb kind of bordering Wales and Herford it was really really nice just one of them you just want to get away and do absolutely Nothing. Wanted to go abroad, but dogs, do you know what I mean?

Can't always get someone to look after the dogs. I know, and you always want dogs there on your days off, don't you? Yeah. You want them involved. I feel like you're going to leave them behind. Yeah, me too. So it was a really, really nice weekend. It did exactly what I needed to do, just rest and walk and did like basically nothing,

which was amazing. I ate some nice food. I love that. It looked lovely where you were, to be fair. But also, I think for people like us, resting's quite hard. Yeah. But, like, there it was kind of. And it was quite in the stick

so I was pretty forced to to, but it's all I wanted to do like, let me just put the telly on. Like, took loads of food there so I could make nice food rather than like going out all the time. Took the dogs for long walks and then chill for the rest of it.

It was really nice, really nice, everything I needed. Appreciating the little things in life. Exactly. They're often the best. Well, I'm glad you've had a good week and that means besty, bestie had a good week and for those that don't know, besty bestie is Racher Sarah.

Anyway, sure I have a little chit-chat about footy. A little bit of footy. A little bit of footy, world cup qualifiers, rolling back the years. When things like this on, does it make you think, like, when we were, like, playing? Yeah, like, I was just thinking about this, like, I don't remember what my last, our last, like, last World Cup qualifiers were, like who we played. Because the World Cup wasn't that long ago. No.

It is exciting though. I always remember this stage been like... Because obviously going to Camps and having friendly is important, but that's one thing. But like playing in a World Cup or a European qualifier, like they mean so much. And I think, obviously... It's nice that England are going like to a neutral venue, I think. Yeah, it's different. It's a different challenge.

People might not see it as that, but it is. Yeah. It really is. but I think it's good for them. This part is interesting as well because obviously their camps are longer now. So it's weird, isn't it? I have like two weekends away from them.

You're so used to camp's been 10 days. Yeah, I know, crazy. Because I was thinking, oh my God, we're playing this weekend. And then I was like, oh wait, no, we're not. It's the weekend after. I know. It's really weird. It's usually only obviously,

like they go normally on a Sunday and miss the next weekend and then they're about the following midweek. It's like, I feel like they're gone for ages. So it'll be interesting to see how that plays out because I also feel it's quite hard for the non-international players to maintain their levels. Yeah.

When you're away for two weeks and you know you typically train, there's just such a time group. 10 days is pretty all right because you have four, I normally have like four days, five days where I'm completely off and a rest and then my second stint, I'm like get ready for them returning. Obviously this time's a little bit different because I'm injured, but I think if I were fully fit, that's a long time to be like training on your own. Yeah, it's like most teams have small groups of international, so non-international.

So it's like, it is hard to, same for me, obviously, I'm out at the minute. So it's obviously, you know, seeing the girls, there's like four or five of them training. It's like, it's weird. But also, just in terms of team, I think there's obviously a lot of talk at the minute, like, who's going to play right back. I think there's obviously players playing centreback that are probably expected to play right back and then, like, reversed as well. but yeah I think just to give maybe a little bit of insight to the listeners because obviously we've been in that position I mean you've been in that position you were a striker playing left back but I think it's it's a good dilemma to have a lot of

players like in contention for it but yeah what's your take on that do people that she's potentially Serena's potentially seen as fullbacks need to be playing there personally I think so because I think it's very different positions and I think you do need to be exposed to be able to play at, you know, international level. Yeah, I think for me, obviously, playing centre forward at club, wherever I was at, if it was Houston or villa, and then coming in and playing left back, like, you know how hard that was for me. Yeah.

I had to come in and like the first few days, first two, three days of camp, but had to like, stay behind, do like 20 minutes of defending. You were like, best he helped me out, do I defend these? What's my body shape? Because defending central spaces is largely different from defending one area. Yeah. So, you know, I think, and defence. defending left back from defending right back is very different.

Like your feet, remember I used to cross my feet over? Yeah, I know, and then it's like wish to tackle wave. Left back was more natural to me than right back, which is strange. Literally, but then flip it. It's the impossession stuff as well. I really enjoyed the impossession side of left back, but I think the defending, I'm just not a defender, do you know what I mean? So I used to obviously get exposed.

But I made quite a long England career out of being left back, so I can't complain. You absolutely smashed it. I'm just saying it because you're my best friend, but you absolutely killed it. And you scored so many goals from left back, so it is possible. England fans do not panic. But yeah, I don't know.

I think they've got a lot more depth now at left back. Obviously, there was... I think both sides, to be honest. I think in the last couple of camps, obviously, we've seen a bit of Taylor Hind. I think it's been, obviously, it's always difficult when you're not playing regular minutes at club, so she's not obviously had that clear starting role at Arsenal.

It's a hard team to break into. But then, obviously, I was interested I'm interested to see how Poppy Patterson gets on and it's nice to see new faces in the England squad it's nice to see people coming through

and she's obviously come through the 23s you know she's she did really well for Brighton she's doing well for London City so it'll be interesting I think the left backs you've got quite a lot of options

right back I think the argument is how long does Lucy play for but for me Lucy plays forever Yeah, but she hasn't been playing fullback though That's the only thing She's been playing at the club, yeah Yeah, and it is when you're not exposed to that It is a complete different ballgame

But we know Lucy and we'll know she'll power through wherever she plays But I think it's, I think there's a lot of competition I think that's a good thing And I would say I'd like to see like some Yeah, some opportunities given Because you've got, you have got a long stint till the World Cup I think that's the beauty of having this time Yes, their World Cup qualifiers and,

yes, we need to win. And I think first and foremost, but I think, you know, if the game plan goes well and you're in a comfortable position, then I would like to see, you know, opportunities given because I do think people, everyone, I think everyone needs to be prepared.

You don't know who's going to get injured, who's going to be available. Also, people are performing. So... I do think that the more concerned thing is, for me, who replaces Lucy? Because, yes, Mayor Leticia is obviously stepped in there.

But she's been sent her back for her club as well for years. So it's like there isn't actually an out and out right back. No. Whereas left back seem to be, that seems to be more of the issue. But now you've got a few true left backs in there. So it's interesting. It'll be interesting. But like you said, it's a good headache to have and there are a lot of options.

And you don't necessarily need, for me, you don't necessarily need to be playing right back week and week out because look how well we did. And we didn't have, you know, we didn't have that. and I didn't have the luxury playing left back week in week out and I obviously got rinsed a few times but I did okay for the most part and we did really well as a team

so in Serena we trust. We absolutely do. Moving on to the She Believes. Do you miss playing in that? That was literally one of my, I had the best memories. I mean, I didn't miss the one where keepers were kicking at me and it would push back at Nets to be quite honest.

If I could think of a best memory or a funny memory of the She Believers, It was when you scored all the own goals. Yeah, and it's because people, keep us kicking ball at me and it's flying it back at night. Cheers, love, top goal scorer for own goals. Thanks very much. She believes was amazing because we always went to cool places.

You got to travel around America. I mean, I loved it because I was in America anyway, so it was super easy for me. It was one of those where I didn't actually have to fly back home. But it was so fun. Like, it was a longer trip. You had three games. Different atmosphere, like, different cool,

completely different vibe. It was just sick. Remember that time we were literally exploring New York and we had to. to just sprint to get on that boat back, otherwise we were going to be in deep shit. Yeah, and it was snowing. That's just made me really sad

because I just thought about Sue. Because Sue was there, I know. Bless her. Some of the best memories of that woman. So Sue, for those of you that don't know, was our absolutely gorgeous security guard. She was with us for years. She's one in a million.

Literally one in a million. One of the ladies that you just will never, ever, ever, ever forget. Like, will have an impact on everybody's life that she will never replace. either, like so giving, so caring, wouldn't tell you if she was struggling, just plow on, and she literally was like, I remember, like, bargey people, like, no,

step away from the girls' place. Like, literally doesn't look like your typical security guard. Like, you know, you come to our games now and you've got, like, big men, like, knock you out. Like, she was just a little lady who, but she knew what to do, my God. No one got near us. No one got near us.

Very high up in the police, wasn't she, in the ex-police? Incredible woman. But she sadly passed away not so long ago, so that was really, really hard for us. as a team, but what an amazing, amazing woman she was. She'll be remembered forever. What an incredible human. You still think about you all the time.

But yeah, that was the night. So, she didn't have a coat. No. Literally trolling around New York. No, she didn't have a coat. In snow, she didn't have a coat on. We were like, Sue, come on, quick. We're going to catch a cold.

It's those memories, though, that you remember, in it. On that boat. Right, the team's in the She Believes Cup. We've got Argentina, Canada, Columbia. and US, some interesting games there. It is actually, because I also think, like, when we were in the She Blues, it was literally us, Japan, USA,

and I want to say, like, another European team. It was never really like... Germany or someone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Germany. But I think that's quite a cool mix of team, but I do think that the US are just going to fly through that. I mean, they're storming at a minute, aren't they? They look untouchable, to be fair, but...

Canada are always going to be good contenders, but I just think the US are going to dominate that, to be fair. And it's nice to see. Like, it looks like there's really positive vibes in their camp with Emma. And the players seem to react really well to her. And she obviously loves it over there. So quite enjoying seeing her workout videos, to be honest. She is doing incredible.

She looks like she's glowing as well. Like, she just looks like she's having the best time ever. And, you know, whenever I speak to her, it's always positive. And, you know, kind of how amazing the girls are. I think she speaks openly in interviews. like how incredible they are to coach and to work with and just the amount of pride that they have like coming in and it's obviously different club versus country

it's very different you know club you're working 24 seven round clock and you know for international it's you've got them for 10 days two weeks and then they kind of go back it's like sending your kids back to school and then you get to switch off and relax so yeah I think she's she's you know getting that rest but yeah workout videos I've been seeing them a lot like I love when she comes close to the country she's like it's about consistency She's like

You go girl You keep going We're rooting for you She's smashing it She's having the best time But yeah It's nice to see But yeah they are

Like I said I think it shows in their performances And the results that they've been getting How like together they are And everyone's kind of pulling together So I'm sure they're only going to go in one direction To be honest Under M to be fair

Right well that's it for football We'll see on the other side For some international women days International Women's Day chat. Get it right, Rach. Welcome back, guys. Moving on from the football with International Women's Day,

which is on Sunday the 8th of March. We're going to give you a few of our inspirational women that we look up to and the reasons why. So, Rach, kick it off. Goes out saying, really. Number one's my mom. I think she will always inspire me. She raised me to be the person I am today.

She raised my brother to be the person who he is. And yeah, she's just gold dust to me. I couldn't speak any higher. She's national treasure. I couldn't, I couldn't. Words wouldn't do her justice, but she is 100% my inspiration. And if I, one day, could be a quarter of the mother that she was for me, then I'd be happy. You already are.

Clicks for Lulu. Love your Lulu. My first one, I know everyone's going to say, you just got peeing rate because you best friends. But I don't think people understand. If you don't understand, we're going to tell you why you should appreciate your mothers and you only get one mum in life. So you should treasure them, look after him. Light Rach, mine is, I don't know, she's raised three girls.

We've had a hectic childhood. She's given us absolutely everything alongside my dad, but she is an absolute trooper. And, yeah, to see everything that she's gone through and still put other people first just amazes me. that's probably why I'm the way I am. But yeah, do you know what? The best thing I love about my mum,

every single day I get like a little, just a little text message or she'll send me a reel. That's like motivational or... She sent me something today. Did she? Aw. That literally melts my heart. She wrote me a letter, you know.

I can't read it out because I'll cry. But it's in my car. You know, when you pull the little visor down, it's in there with a picture of me and my mom and my dad actually at the villa game outside the stadium. And she gave me this little. sticker off, I think it was off TikTok and it says, drive safely, like I love you. I think I've posted it before. Is it on your window? I put it on the, no, your wing mirror.

Yeah. Well, that's so funny because I feel like we're the same, that, you see that thing over there? Yeah. That's a calendar, like a calendar every day you turn it over. Yeah. And it's from like my mum to me, like a mom to daughter thing. It's so cute. I love stuff like that. I got some cards for last mother's day and I think I posted one recently and it was like, I'm going to appreciate all the little things every single day. And each day she turns it over and one of them is, I'm going to be the best beep version of myself. Like, just like little reminders,

but I love the little things that my mum is so, so good at like all the tiny little things that probably some people don't think mean a lot, but obviously to us to me, and I love that she sends you stuff as well, like, well, she sees you as a daughter. So, yeah. Moving on to number two before we get too emotional. Go, go, go.

My two and three, it's weird because I'd probably class them as one person which is bad because they're not but it'd be Serena and Venus Williams because I think they were the first women that I saw as a kid and was like, yeah, they're badass like I want to be like they're obviously not a tennis

player that my career would never have made it for that but in terms of a sport... Hey, we've been quite good at tennis leading up to Euros in terms of sports women like they just led the way for so many years And so you know, I always think about when we were in France in the World Cup and we met Serena Williams with a daughter.

Incredible. And she's like juggling the daughter in one hand. Literally. We picked up her fort, didn't we? A little baby thought that she dropped. Even like beyond tennis, like seeing them, you know, grow. And yeah, I think just for me, my first experience of like, I want to be a professional sports person

was definitely looking up to those two women. So shout out to be. Love that. Shout out. Incredible people. my second one, and this is my final one, is Emma Hayes. I think everybody already knows kind of what she means to me, but I think she has always been more than a coach,

and she took me under her wing straight away, and she's learnt me some of the most valuable lessons in life about leadership, about sport, but most importantly, like about being a human and how to deal with pressured situations, and she literally made me vulnerable, she broke my walls down, and I was like, no one will ever get me to speak. They won't ever, I'm not telling nobody if I'm struggling.

I'm trying to be my dad. And she did and she taught me so much and I don't, I think without her, like, I wouldn't be sat where I am for sure. Like, my career would definitely not be where it is and I wouldn't have achieved anything, kind of without her guiding me, but not only was she an incredible manager,

but a fantastic life coach. And still to this day I go to her for, for like she literally is my life coach and she's always there when I need her like even though she's all the way in America like she's always there she checks in when she doesn't have to I've always said this like it's easy to send

a happy birthday message it's easy to say well done for your game but it's on the days when no one has a reason to message they're the messages that always mean the most like you're the same like you'll know to be fair you could be top of my list rage as an inspirational woman everything you've achieved

I think you three individually are three of the most reliable people in my life. And yeah, God knows where I would be without you three because... Well, same for you, Bester. Yeah, but that goes about saying everybody knows me and Rachel what we mean to each other. Shout out to all the amazing women out there. Mini clicks for the women. Women of the world. Charge it.

Just charge it. So this is a new little addition we've added in because, Like we both love gadgets and tech and like little cool little things. And I don't know where my love for that came from. I think, I don't, I really don't know. Learning how to buy off Amazon and TikTok, that's where it came from. I love, love gadgets, don't we? So we're going to discuss something that we've used recently.

And, yeah, like, just think it's a good idea or I like things that like make your life a little bit easier. Yeah, but they're so simple. Exactly. Simple things. Like sometimes I'll buy things and sometimes. I'd be like, but you don't need it. I'm like, yeah, but I do. Because if that saves me 10 minutes a day,

that's 10 minutes of my life, I'm getting back. You might not know you need it. That's the point. My gadget, I haven't used it yet, and I hope, God forbid, I ever do need it, but also, it could save someone's life. It could save my life. Right, go on then, what is it?

Right, my gadget, Mama B, you got me this. And at first I was like, silly woman, what's she buying me this for? I'm like, what I'll waste the money. And I'll tell you what, it's never moved from my car, from the downside of my car. it's a mini hammer and a seatbelt cutter in one this is where my mum's brain goes

she thinks worst case scenario but I mean someone's got oh because I don't so if I had a crash or I needed to escape or I was trapped I've got a little hammer send a picture so you all can see because it's amazing I can break out my window or if my seatbelt's trapping me it's got this little hook and it slices your seatbelt and it's just down the side of my car

it's perfect it's only like this big it's perfect and if you're also ever scared you've got a hammer do I mean yeah come near me and I'll bash your face in me That's cool. That's cool. And something like you say, we wouldn't think that we would need, but your mum does. So that's good. She says, you'll understand one day when you're a mother. And I'm like, mum, if you say that phrase one more time. But it is true, probably. We'll look back and she's like, I tell you tell you tell. Yeah, 100%. Well, mine is from TikTok shop. Love that place.

Obviously, Sarah knows how much I love gadgets. But I get really sore necks. Like, you'll know this because I used always complain about it. but it's like the bottom of my skull and I get so tight I don't know if it's the way I sleep or how I train, I don't know, I don't know what it is, but... Probably because you've been heading goals in for the last 10 years, Bester.

So, you've probably seen it. It's a little massager. Yeah, it does it go around like that? It's got like four hands, for like... Honestly, it's unbelievable. I've seen it. So I'm not asking anyone for a massage.

You don't have to go and get one, just get that on neck. You need to give it a little name. Hmm. It's a little turtle in it. Come on then, let's give our gadgets a rating because we want our fans to start doing this. You've got to post your gadgets,

give it a rating out of five, and give us a little brief reasoning, and we're going to repost them more. I'd say mine's like a three out of five because I would rather have one from a human. But it does the job. Maybe three and a half. Well, I'm going to say 5-5 for intention,

because I've not used it yet, and I pray that I never have to use it, but I can only imagine that it would save my life. if I needed two. So I'm gonna give it five out of five for safety and for intention. I'll let you know if I ever need it, hopefully not. Hopefully not.

It's a good little addition. Moving on to Millie's favourite thing in the world, Block and Delose. Well, I can delete. Oh, guys, I've got some good ones for you. Let's talk through the audiences. I think these are really funny actually. Right, from Ellie, when you're trying on jeans

and the button just won't do up, rude. Do you know what should come to my head? white chicks when she's ragging them up and trying to squeeze it. I agree. I agree. And also, it's really rude when it's actually your size and it makes you think, Jesus Christ, that's not really.

And in some charts you could be one size but then in another shot you're completely different. Don't make sense, so I agree with Ellie. Yeah. Just if it's a 12, it's a 12, do you know what I mean? If you put that on and then you need something else, it's really disheartening. I agree it's rude.

Block and delete it. Right, Beth, what you got for us, when you get a new phone and none of us, of your old chargers fit, more money to spend. That's what they do. It's their trick. They change the charges that you have to spend more money. Money scheme.

But the thing is, what I would say is I am a bit of a psycho for stuff like that. It's like I have a box, also a bit of a hoarder. Ever need a charger for any device, come to me. I've got any... I'm going to say, but mine are all tied up with the elastic band around them and everything. Oh, best to know, that is too much. No. Mine are all...

...coughts in a little box. I know, throwing things down just how I'm like, put it in tech box. Put it in lecky box. But yeah, it is annoying when they do do that. And they don't give you a charge, like they don't give you the box or anything anymore, stupid. No, scam me, absolute scam.

Right. Next one, Sarah, your, your delivery is between 7am and 7pm slot. Great, so I have to wait all day then. I absolutely hate that. Like, how can you give me a 12-hour window? Surely you know when you're going to be, in my area.

I'll tell you why. You want to know why? Because you say pay a little bit extra to get your hours slot. I know. It's ridiculous. I don't like that. The world has gone mad.

Money left, right and centre, going down to drain. I refuse. I just say leave it outside. If it's there, it's there. If it's not, it's not. Today, he left it. Amazon left it.

Oh my God. It's so hidden. Shove it under my dormant. My door mat goes like this. Oh yeah. I wonder where the parcel is. Can't see it. Yeah, I would say,

that is really annoying. But I also would say, if I want to bring doorbell to him and I say, oh, can you just put it around or put it in my box or whatever and they go, no, I can't. You have to go pick it up from somewhere else. Why?

He don't have a pin number. It's not required signature. And obviously, it's me on my doorbell talking to you. Who else has access to it? I know you. Yeah, I hate that. Maybe that's going to be my block and delete for the week. Oh, well, let me get my list out.

Guys, this is my notes. I don't know if you can see, but there's a lot on there. I've been collecting. and I had a really good conversation today, and I've got, I'm going to do two because I've got to get them off my chest. I've took a picture as well, I'm going to show it you. You know, when you go abroad,

and you see, it's made them men, to be quite honest, and you see them, and the toes are like so far over, end of the sliders, I'm like, just get a smaller size. Are your feet not scratching along? Do you know what I mean? When this is slider, and the heel starts here, and then the toes are off, the end, stretching the front of the floor.

Oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you get what I'm saying? It's always, it is always mad, and the feet are pushed right for, but, like, you must be uncomfortable. I took a picture, I'm going to post it for you to see. That's one, because we were having a chat today. And the other one, drivers on the motorway goes slower than lorries, dangerous in capital letters.

You shouldn't ever be getting overtaken by a lorry, period. It's dangerous. You're forcing that vehicle to go into the second or third lane, if it's a four-lane motorway. It's dangerous. Get, just, get fucked down to the minute of speed. I was coming off the M6 onto M42 in its 50s, right? So I'm merging in.

The person in front of me has decided to just slam all on to merge. I was like, because obviously I'm like, I'm looking in my blinds, looking over my shoulder to see if I can then swing back over. It's only 50s. And she's just slammed all on. And then I honestly, I was like, and yeah, finally get past and I looked at it and she was just like, do you know what?

I'm going to start a petition. You shouldn't have to pay extra when you're learning to drive. you shouldn't have to pay extra to learn how to drive on motorway. That should be in your driving test. Personally, I think you should have to learn. But, yeah, I've got so many. It really does my head in. Stop driving slow.

The speed limit is 70 miles per hour. If you're not going to get overtaken by a lorry. Therefore, creating chaos. Congestion. Just get past the damn lorry and move over. It really, really, and that's same for middle lane. Get out, stop hogging it. Hey, middle lane, hoggers.

Did you not learn the rule? You only move. over to the right if you're overtaking. Other than that, you sit in the left. Move. Right, let's be grateful for something. Let's talk about gratitude. Have you got something this week that you're grateful for? Driving.

Oh my God, best it. Having my car back, I will never ever underestimate driving ever, ever again. And just being able to like pop in your car every time I wanted to pop out or like, oh, I need to get a lift or oh, oh, I need to get a taxi or da-da-da-da-da, like so annoying. You do miss it when it's taken away

from you, don't you? And I feel like just going for a drive now. Like, overnight, I just, I went for a drive. I loved, do you know what I loved? I loved driving home other day. And I just had three hours of just music and just me. Just like, I was just like, oh, this is amazing. Like I would just dancing along, singing along, me and dogs. Yeah, I love it. Having my car back is my gratitude for this week. Thank you.

Mine is like the countryside and walks and nature. Like, I went for a long, long walk yesterday and I was just like, this is beautiful. And you're just peace and quiet. You know what? you don't get your phone signal in half the forests and woods that you walk in. It's just you and, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's just pause and thought, that's, that's, that's, that's, I can be on this walk today. Yeah, I like that, I like that. They keep building houses everywhere, though, best in, tech, in countryside. I know.

Like, when I went home, there's so many, like, it just used to be loads of fields, and now it's just houses just everywhere. But that's what I think, and you buy a house in the view to have overlooked the fields and the land, and they're all of a sudden five years later, it's gone. Exactly. Anyway, that's enough, enough ranting for us today, I think. Enough. We've had enough. Thank you.
