Hello everyone.
Welcome to Daily Brightness.
As it's Mother's Day coming up,
we thought we would do a Mother's Day special,
so we've got Mama Bee in the house,
but also because I'm back home,
we've got Little Man in shot.
This is Harvey Boy,
so he's making a special appearance as well.
And we are going to pepper Mama B
and find all the goss.
The goss about you.
Are you exa?
A.
And you, Rachel.
I am so excited,
but I have been like,
I've carved out like three hours of a day for this,
because I just don't know how far it'll go.
She's got that many stories.
Right, I think first question, how much do you enjoy our podcast?
And yeah, do you listen every week, which I already know the answer.
Yeah, so do I?
It's sometimes annoying when it didn't come out on, like, earlier,
because I'm like six o'clock I'm already looking, then seven o'clock,
and then always eight players come out now.
She don't want much.
Right, guys, for you lot hearing that in the background, get it out,
and six.
Me and Amy were always there, like, podcast coming out
because you do these little, like, taste of things on your TikTok
and I'm, oh, that's going to be so good.
And I'm loving the guests that you're having on.
Yeah, you know, I love it when you text us or comment and say how good it was.
It's so, it's so nice because it's like, you're the closest person to Millie
and seeing, like, it's just cute, I love it.
I have to be careful because I could leave five or six comments
and then people get sick of seeing it.
We never get sick of seeing it.
No, we wouldn't.
Right.
How do you summarise me and Rachel?
I know that's quite difficult.
but you can use as many words as you want.
Dumb and dumber.
Yeah, we like that.
I'd say that and all.
I'd take that because you just,
I've never known two people bounce off each other so much.
Like, when we're in Australia and the World Cup
and we were all there together, it's like,
you're always racial, racial, and whatever you're thinking, she's thinking,
and whatever she's thinking you're thinking,
and then you do these crazy things,
like you turn up at a tattoo place and bombarders,
and then you're walking down motorways when you shouldn't be there
and you're driving back.
that bike down the motorway.
Oh my God, that was literally crazy.
Yeah.
That's when we came across that blackadder.
I know.
We could have died.
We literally could ride.
And then we hummed and hard for ages.
We stopped him and we went,
oh, E, Rachel, should we drive past it?
We went just pedals as fast as you can.
And we did, we drove past it.
Yeah, it scares me.
I was riding out motorway on our bikes with big TK Max bags.
Everyone else was like, oh, we've just been chilling, getting coffee.
Mill Rachel, what have you been doing?
Well, we went and shop at TK. Max and got a load of stuff.
I mean, I'd crocks at every camp.
Everywhere.
And we were like, right, we can't tell your mum where we've been.
Can't tell her what's happening.
We're having kittens.
But we do know where you went because we had a tracker on your both.
So we didn't know where you were.
But it's like crazy, all the antics you get up to.
It is crazy.
But we love it.
We wouldn't want it any other way.
Yeah, I think it is funny.
We are funny, but I think...
I think you don't mean today, though, do you?
We can be quite dangerous, though, can't we?
Yeah, but I think there's also that real soft side that, like,
I know you've always got me and I've always got you.
You know what I mean?
I don't think you mean to be funny
I think you just are funny
Yeah, we have that
It is dumb and dumber
It's like that stupid relationship
That you just did this together
It just happens
I should have known back then
I was going to meet somebody
Like you
Yeah, crazy
So Nick obviously
Millie was like
Big Into the horse here
She still is
But when did you know
that like
Football was going to be
What she wanted to do
Like what changed
Well we always did both
For many years
And then it was the one tournament
When we did a horse show in the morning
And then Stephen
we used to take it in turn
so either Stephen had take the horse back
and I'd go to the tournament
or the other way around
there was one particular time
Stephen trusted me to drive the trailer back
with the pony and was that when I played for Chesterfield?
Chesterfield yeah
and he decided that he wanted to go to the tournament
and for some reason he came back
and he said I just can't believe it
he said that was just the best thing I've ever done
and I thought
I didn't know that
he did so the best thing I've ever done
and so I can't believe how good that was
because he went to it probably was his first tournament
because I mean, it was only been about 10 or 11.
And she came back and I thought,
this is different now.
This is like something she really enjoys.
So the horses didn't take a back seat,
but we probably weren't able to do as much.
And we only competed at the local level,
but she used to love it.
And then when she got to Sheffield United Academy,
and then we started realizing that, you know,
people were saying,
because we didn't know football, we're not football fans.
You know, we only just got into football because of Miller.
and people start saying oh Millie's really good
and I'm thinking all okay then
and then we went to Leeds
she went to Doncaster in Leeds
and then it started getting more serious
and then I said you can't do this
because if you were at yourself
you can't play football
I did that alongside being semi-pro
I did you did but then we had to think
I only stopped riding horses when I signed for Chelsea
but it was always a risk to me as a mum thinking
no it went to me because of semi-proe
yeah but it was a it thought
It's a risk, it's a wristless if she loves football.
Because I know Victoria had had an accident once on the horse
and she'd fractured a growth plate and a tibia.
Only one of us not to have an accident on the horse?
Yeah, touch would.
That was going through my head the whole time when she was doing both.
And I thought, so it's got to stop soon.
And then she went to Chelsea, that was it, then she stopped.
And how was that, like when she signed for Chelsea,
like what, how big of a moment was that for you and the family?
If I look back now, I'd say it was the,
turning point when this whole journey actually began what we've thoroughly enjoyed,
but it was also the saddest day of my life.
She left her.
She was going to go the year before and thank good.
I didn't have any, I didn't try and influence her because it's obviously not my career.
So I left you up to her and she decided I'm not going.
I'm thinking, yes.
10 years later.
Don't forget we've got no, we didn't, we've got no, we weren't believing or dreaming
that she'd play for England, we were just, well, she wants to do this.
Well, it didn't really exist at that time, did it?
She's like in our eyes.
We're just going to let her do it, it's what she wants to do.
But it was a saddest day of my life, and we were left her in that house,
and she was tears streaming down her face, and as she shut door like that,
and tears, and I thought, I can't deal with this.
She'll be coming home next week, I'm fetching her back.
I drove home every week for two years, every day.
Best day, I'm not telling you, first two years in my Chelsea career,
every time we got a day off, so we'd play on Sunday,
Monday would be recovery.
I'd drive home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.
I'd have Tuesdays my day off.
I'd leave at 4am on a Wednesday morning
and I'd go straight to training and train.
I did that for two years.
Every time.
And I'd be like, no, I'm not going,
I'm getting an extra night at home.
I drive him at 4am.
I love getting up early.
I love driving.
Perfect.
And then after two years,
I were knackered and I'll like pass up to do this.
Yeah, your dad did not like that
because you didn't like your driving that far,
so that stopped.
Yeah, it was hard.
It was really, really hard.
Yeah, so it was obviously proud
that she was going to play for Chelsea,
but don't forget,
We're not football people, so Chelsea was just Chelsea, another football club.
Yeah, you didn't really know the magnitude of how big it was going to be.
I absolutely love that club now.
That's, you know, it's the best thing that ever happened to her.
And it's where she's been, stayed for a career.
She's never moved anywhere else, never wanted to move.
It's always been, you know, the culture that's just kept her down there
and, like, being a big family and everything.
It's, and we've loved going.
Do you remember the first time you met Rachel?
If so, where was it?
I think it was probably at one of the England camps
when you've come outside
like, I remember one camp you came out
and dad turned up on his motorbike
and you were Rachel or sat on motorbike.
Yeah, that were at SGP.
Yeah, that weren't a bit first time
but it was, but how crazy is that?
Things like that.
That just stand out.
I remember when you went to Olympics
and we got you both a build the bears, you remember?
That was so cute.
You were left at your house.
Before we went to Olympics?
You came and gave us our bears, didn't you?
You're so cute.
And for all the people who is listening, Harvey calls my nephews and now my niece.
Their anti-Rachel is just like anti-Milly.
So the boys call Auntie Rache, anti-Rach, isn't you?
She'll always be family.
So that's cute.
I think that's like my favourite thing ever is that you all just welcome me into your own family,
like I'm your own.
You are.
You are.
You are.
There's no escaping.
Can't get away from me.
I love that I just go to your mum's house without you there.
as well. Like, it's so nice.
I think it's like because of the personalities that you both are,
because you're both very humble people.
You've always been very grounded.
So it's just normal life.
Yeah, you might be celebrities in football,
but you're just normal people and you're...
We're not celebrities.
We don't like that out of the way.
But you are, but you're very grounded
and you're still just normal people doing normal everyday things.
This is why this podcast is so good.
Yeah, I think that's hard for us, in it?
Like, you forget that, like, you actually have a bit of a name
in football, but then, like, us walking around in pyjamas, walking to Tesco.
Yeah, I will go to Tesco in my Udi and, I will go in my slippers, I'm not bothered.
And I think that got, that was more so after the Euros when you won it home euros.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Is that one of your favourite memories?
Like, of me and Rachel together, what's like one thing, what's, like, a moment that stands out?
It's the, it's the 2019 World Cup in France.
Really?
I remember that...
E. God, I know, I know.
She's going to say, mould it, dust everywhere, dirty, mum was like, we're not snobbed by no means,
but mum, I remember mum ringing me, and she was going, email, I can't stay in this,
not what it said it was, the pictures of line.
Your mum was there as well, and Jim, and I said, I'm not stopping here, and the lady was showing us around,
she said, what's the matter with your face? You don't like it?
And because my face, I was smiling, well, I was thinking I was smiling, but I clearly wasn't,
because my face was saying opposite. And I said to your mom, I said, I can't stop here, Louise, it's disgusting.
So then you two came out early hours of morning.
It must have been like, I remember we had to text.
No, we had to text Phil.
We have to be like, boss, we're going to have to go out.
We've got sort of our family's out.
They've literally got nowhere to stay.
We're like 2 a.m.
And we had to go and sort them somewhere to go.
And on the day when we got stuck in train station and we got robbed.
And nobody, we didn't know what to do.
We sat on a train station floor and there were no trains.
It's all being cancelled.
And it was like 40 degrees in that.
And you two ended up sorting us out.
Just for the record.
Whenever we go to a tournament,
and my family and Rachel's family,
they make a group chat, so it's Lulu.
Oh yeah, what were the chats?
We've named them after the tournaments, haven't we?
What was it best family?
World Cup family and Goro's family.
And we all just used to put crazy stuff in there,
and it were Lulu and Mom.
And photographs.
And then that was kind of like an SOS group,
weren't it, in case they needed anything they could put in.
But we've done that every tournament,
like our families have had like a group chat.
It's hard though, isn't it?
Like, we always say this, but when you're away on tournament,
and stuff, like navigating football and family
and how to make sure everyone's all right,
but then, I don't know, like, people always say,
like, you've got to leave it to the family reps and stuff
and we just can't do that, can we?
We're also not the type of people.
If I don't know when my family is staying,
have they got the flight sorted, is that done, is this done,
when am I seeing him, that I'm not going to enjoy the tournament.
So, and I think that's been something that's been really hard,
like that France World Cup,
That was the most stressful.
Like, you saw it in your family at at at 1am.
Like, we literally train it next day.
And thank God, like, Phil understood and was supportive.
Yeah, he was great in that.
We had the same, like, mentality of us.
But we also had the same.
We also just sort of said, like, all right, well, if he says no, then we're going anyway.
Like, family's more important.
Yeah, we said that to it.
We're going regardless.
So I think we even said that to him.
We said, we're going regardless.
We've got sort of our family's out.
He was like, yeah, all right, be safe.
Yeah, all right.
Be safe.
Like, there's now where you'd back.
I think the, the, the Australian.
The Australia one was way better though
because you organised it before we went in the year
and we knew exactly what we'd got an itinerary for five weeks
what we did, we planned before
and that was way better
and I think listening to some of the parents
the last one was it Switzerland, the Euros
I think that was a lot better organised
for the families and friends.
It looked good to be fair
yeah it did
and that's what I say we can't speak on
those ones over the ones we've been at
but while we're on tournaments
what is probably what is
your favourite moments of like
us all been together
like football matches, like away tournaments,
like what are you, like standout memories?
That way, I don't know, you're watching me and Rachel or whatever
or what is your standout moments?
It's the times before the match and after the match
that are the most important
because that's when you get to see your person
and it's like for whatever reason,
whether it's celebrating or whether it's commiserating,
I think that's when families are important.
So it is important to look after the families
because that's the most, the most heartwarming times of those tournaments
is seeing you,
you girls after and before.
So we know that you're okay and it's a long time to be away.
I think that's a big moment for us is when we're always on pitch after
and we used to do our lap and we'd be pointing like,
oh, like, you'd be like your dad's there or I'm like,
mum's there and we'd be waving and we always look to like each other's family
and I think that's a thing for me that stands out.
And like for me and your dad as parents and your mum would be saying Rachel,
it's knowing that you're there in the crowd
for when you look up at that moment after that match or before that match.
And it gets to be like a bit superstitious as well
You've got to do that same thing
You've got to say that same thing
Yeah it is
It's those moments
I remember Millie all the time at England goes
But I'd be like
Millie where are they? I can't see
You'd have to be like
We used to do it in line up remember
When Nash Lanterns have gone and be like
Rachel they're up there
And I'm like where I can't see him
Right guys we are going to take a quick break

Mama B. How difficult is it, Nick, to, like, hear criticism in a stadium or see criticism
online of Millie? Well, me or you, let me tell you, if she sees anything of either of her,
she'll write message, I know exactly what she does, she'll write messages out and I'll be like,
delete, delete. No, she'll tell you, how along my block and, how long my block and delete
list is. I do it to, I block and delete commentators, I block and delete trolls, I block and
delete fake accounts, I block and delete anything when I see, not just, if it's, if it's
criticism and it's constructive, that's fair enough, take that. But when it's hate, when it's
just negative and it's always about one person, and I'll tell you now, as a parent, that is,
that is the hardest thing, that is the worst thing about this football. I'm so glad we had
10 years where it was hardly any, but these last two years have been sold distraining.
Yeah, I always think that like, because it is hard, like, it must be hard, like, it must be
hard to not respond or, you know,
you feel, like, whereas we could probably ignore it,
you'll see all that.
Like, parents are still, like, my mum's often said to me before,
have you seen this comment about you?
And I'm like, nope.
I've got it wrote down.
I've got names.
I've got names.
I've got names.
I've wrote them all.
I know them all.
Every single one.
Do you find it hard not being able,
because I will say as a player,
I have to, before every tournament I've done it,
but also I say to him,
as things get more a month,
like, attracted to media and, you know,
our names get a little bit bigger each time we're successful.
You can't ever comment on anything.
And my family never would anyway.
They're not the type of people to do that.
It's not in our nature.
But you also do have a responsibility to kind of behave in the same way as we behave.
And I think that is also hard for families to do.
Because if you worked a 9 to 5 job, let me tell you, if someone said certain things to me,
I'd be saying something back.
But obviously...
I think from a mum's perspective, though, like we can probably shut some of it out.
but I think that's proofing the pudding.
Like you're not just hurting the person
that you're saying something about,
you're hurting their family.
Like, I know for a fact, Nicola,
you'll lose several days of sleep, nights of sleep.
I've made myself very, very ill with anxiety
and struggling to sleep for weeks on end
because of comments I've read.
And it's always comments that aren't even true,
comments that are hateful,
there's no reason where they actually are coming from
and I don't understand why people are so vile.
I think it's easier for us to accept Rach because we know it is becoming part and parcel of the game.
Yeah.
But I think it's always hard for family to accept it and tolerate it because...
But I always think that because it's like you can't...
They don't get it. Do you know what I mean?
You're somebody's daughter. You're somebody's sister. You're somebody's auntie.
Like it affects them more than it affects us. And I think once it affects your mum, it affects you more than it.
Yeah. Like if a comment comes out and you see it, you might be able to go, like, that's not very nice.
But if your mum sees it and she's upset about it, you're now.
upset because your mum's upset. So it has like a negative connotation the whole way through.
I've started to realise Rachel now that it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a minority of people.
And it's often people that don't even understand football that are saying it. They're not even
real people. And they're definitely not real fans. Yeah, but it's still hard to read it. And even
if it's two comments, it's two, two comments too much. Because I've always brought my children up
and as you've been brought up, Rachel, that if you can't say anything kind, then shut your
mouth. Don't say it. Oh, yeah, exactly. Family see like,
what we've put in for years and years and years.
Like they've seen all the sacrifice,
they see the hard times,
they see the things that fans don't see.
Do you know what I mean?
Or not even just fans,
like anyone sees.
Like no one knows what we go for on a daily basis.
To be where we are today,
like no one's seen what we've gone through.
No one knows personal situation
because we don't air everything.
Like I don't have to do that.
But families do see that.
So they're like, Lord on a set,
she's given this, this, this, this.
no one even knows she's going through that
and she's still doing all of this
and then that's why I think it's harder
for them to accept but to be honest now I just become
like I'm a little bit numb to it
and I'm just like okay cool
like whatever I think it's how
quick you know
you girls are
national treasures you won the home euros
you were part of that squad that won the home
euros and I think
that's what's hard
where you're here and then
somebody swipes your legs one comment
and everybody jumps on the bandwagon
and before you know it
everybody hates you.
It's like, it's bizarre
I've never, I mean I understand football.
It's the world, it's the world of sport though.
You can be the world's greatest
and then the next day you can be
changes so fast, doesn't it?
That is literally and I think that's something
that I've had to, I don't know about you
but I know you'll have been the same
but you have to drive your family
into having that same mentality is
the minute you don't let it slide
I can't let it slide
so the quicker we can get on the same page
and it's hard like of course it's hard
I think that's one of the hardest things to demand off your family is to just ignore it.
Because like I said, to family, they're living normal lives.
Like, we live a life of luxury, so it's different.
Whereas we're expecting people that live just normal lives to tolerate it.
And if I was living that same life, I wouldn't be tolerating it.
Do you know what I mean?
It's hard.
I always feel guilty for expecting them because I'm like, it's just as much your career as mine.
And that's how I've always, that's what I've always said to you, isn't it?
And we have felt that because we've been on this journey.
Yeah.
allowed us, you've had this career and allowed us to be on this journey
and it's been the most wonderful journey ever.
Honestly, we've been so proud and loved it.
But, you know, we always think now as saying is, can it kill you?
No, it can't. Let it go.
Yeah.
What's been your favourite thing to come of football?
Like, what's, if you think of, like, from...
My favourite thing to come of football is that you're able to...
You're in a place now...
This is nothing to do with football, so I'm not football.
but this is you're in a place now where you can,
you're part of your minds for mental health for children,
you're doing this podcast which honestly,
everybody that you speak to has got nothing but praise
and we love it and it helps us
and all the comments are about people
that you've, you know, saved them from something
because of something you've said
because you just do too normal people.
Yeah, it's pretty special when we see that, in it, Rach, those sorts of comments.
And that, for me, is the best thing that's come out of the football.
That's exactly like, I'll never, ever, ever forget in 2019
in that hotel at Wembley,
and we just sat there and like we just went,
we should start something together.
Well, we kept doing our handshakes, didn't we?
Yeah, and people kept comments saying like how we helped them
just by, you know, a video with Dawn or a handshake with Dawn or something.
And I think that that obviously was so important to both of us to help other people.
Like we're both very, like we're driven, like we're so driven to like help people and make a change and whatnot.
And I think the best thing, one of the best things that's come out for me as well,
as well as the podcast because it's literally like...
It's therapy for us because we get time with each other
that we weren't able to usually fit in.
It's our little brand, isn't it?
Yeah, and just the fact that people help.
It's our little baby.
We help people, sorry, yeah.
So that's really nice to hear that that's something that...
And that's the best thing for me that's come out.
Obviously, the matches, the trophies, the everything,
but the main thing is that you've put yourself in a position
where you're able...
And you are giving back, which is like,
that's what you want your children to do.
You know, be kind people, be good people,
and you've given back.
This is another thing I was going to say.
It's like, there's so many days that Millie's probably missed
because I know, like, in my career, obviously being in America
or being, you know, there's times when you're like,
I've missed my nephew's birthday parties, stuff like that.
Like, is it hard for you to see that Millie's,
like, you do family things and Millie's not there,
or did it just become like the norm?
I hate that. Same.
I hate it so much.
Yeah, it's been hard.
but I didn't mind because if she couldn't get there
because she's got football, then I'm not there anyway,
so it made no difference.
But we have missed a lot.
Yeah, true.
Mom and Dad cancel a lot because they choose football over,
but what do I always tell you?
Plan ahead and if I can be there, like your 50.
I drove all the way up, surprised her at a meal,
and then I drove all the way back to London.
So I will always try and make it where possible,
but that's hard for me because I always see it going in the family chat
and I have to find that really hard.
Football as always.
And that's the one thing we have had the family chat,
so we've always put photos in.
If we've had a birthday meal, we've always faced times at the meal
so that she can just be part of it.
But it's just become the norm at the minute that, Rachel.
But you know what I'm so excited now she's retired from England
is we do actually get this time together.
More time, yeah.
It's like we're catching up.
So everybody tries to cram it all in.
Yeah.
It's the kids though as well, Rachel.
Like they pull on your archings like, I come back and like Vinnie and Harvey
are like, oh, we've missed you.
And then I have I'll be like, oh, I do love seeing anti-Milly back.
and like I went out for a meal
other night and you're like
oh you're not going
oh you're anti-millate
I was like no I'm just going for a meal
because normally when I say I'm going
they know I'm going to London
Yeah
So it's getting this time back
that's like really really special
But that's what I told you
When I was saying like
I just have so much time
To do the things that I didn't get to do
with the family and stuff
But on that note
Have you got any plans for Mother's Day?
It'll be football
Yeah
What about you Rachel
What's your mum going to be doing?
I actually don't know
I'm not looked that far
in advance at my schedule yet but um if i'm available i'll definitely pop up and see her and do something.
We always have like delayed events don't we?
Yeah it's like we always celebrate on different days so exactly she will have something planned
for her don't worry and it's only a day so you can do that day any day I mean it's it's
mother's day every day when when you see your children anyway so that's all you need you see
you have a face time it's still a gift on mother's day because you don't get to see it very often
so we take face times ratio your mum will be fine with that right i know i don't need to
to give you any introduction to what comes next.
It is my favourite, block and delete.
Sign her up, guys.
Insane it.
My favourite part.
Like mother like daughter.
Honestly.
Right, so Nicola, welcome to block and delete.
I'm not going to give you 10, but I'm going to give my one this week.
And somebody asks you a question for your opinion,
and you give it him and then they're offended.
I don't get it because I can't get why what I've got.
said is offensive when you've asked for my opinion.
That's a really good one.
I'm sick to death of people.
I ask you for my opinion and then when I give it, it's not good enough or they don't like it.
Yeah, but that's so true.
Like, people don't like to hear the truth sometimes, do they?
Like, don't ask for it then.
And it's like my mum always told me to tell the truth.
Well, that's the most dangerous thing you can ever do.
Tell the truth.
Oh, she tells it.
But obviously with being ADHD as well, it's the thing, what you say it as it is.
There's no filter.
And it's a, yeah, you say it as it is, but I really cannot understand no matter how people tell me.
Like I said something in the day like somebody, oh, you look good for your age.
I mean, somebody said, you can't say that, that's offensive, but why is it?
Somebody said that to me, I won't be offended.
You know what I spent the other day though?
This, I think this were a little bit bad.
No, I don't think it was actually, we went shopping and we were in Liffway, Grant,
me, mum, gran and Albert.
And then there were this, and I will say it, there was this little old lady, like, fully,
yeah, she looked like my nan.
So I'd say, oh, my little old nan.
And I said, oh, I'll be stepped outside.
Let this little old lady come in.
And then my mum, Grand looked at you to and I went,
should I have said that or not?
And I went, oh, God, I'm ever so sorry.
Like, I've just, I've seen you as my nan.
Yeah, maybe don't say the old part.
Or the little part.
Or the little part for that, man.
I thought it were cute, little old lady.
That's how something I'd do, though.
Just say it how it is.
And then I looked at, I've seen her face.
I've seen her face.
I said something bad.
At least you apologize to her.
I said, oh sorry, I didn't mean anything about you, just reminded me and my nan.
But that's the sort of thing, you would just say things as they are, the true things,
and then it gets you in deep water.
I agree with that, actually.
Don't ask my opinion if you don't want it.
Yeah, because I find it hard.
Facts.
Then when you've given the truth, like...
Well, then next time you're just going to be like, no.
Yeah, I can't give you my opinion because you won't like it.
But that's offensive, isn't it?
Because they know that you're thinking...
Yeah, they weren't like that answer either, so you're screwed.
Right, best of your part.
Something between a rock and hard place.
Right, so I like to do the lighter part, which you...
She's obviously gratitude.
So is there something that you would like to share
that you've been grateful for this week?
Yes, it's a person this week.
And she's called Annie.
And she's my littlest brother's girlfriend
because she turned up out the blue to Amy.
Obviously, she had a cesarean.
She only just come home.
It was day three of having the baby.
And she turned up out the blue
and said Amy, I've come to take your dog out.
Because Coco is obviously a Spaniel.
Yeah, because Coco is obviously a Spaniel
and she's so lively and she's so missed a long walk.
She's not had a walk for like three.
She's been out of gardens.
So she came.
She'd got a dog treat bag, she'd got everything, she was taking her out to Derbyshire,
and she just took the dog.
For hours, bestie, hours.
As she was going out, she said to Amy, I've left you a little something.
And you know, like you always get the baby things.
Well, she works for the co-op and she'd left this bag, brown paper bag,
and inside it was chocolate bread, a bunch of roses,
and just some little snacky things and some tea bags and just some nice things for her.
For Amy. Yeah.
You don't think to do that, do you?
She didn't have to do it.
She just came out the blue and she took the dog,
which she knows means a lot to Amy that a dog's had a walk
because Amy's dog is a baby as well.
And then she brought Amy some little bits
and it were really nice, weren't it?
Yeah, it was lovely.
Annie, did you say?
Annie.
Right, well I'm grateful for Annie then for doing that
because that's such a, such and kind thing to do.
Is there anything you're grateful for?
What are you grateful for this week?
Anti-Milly.
Everything, that's good.
Everything?
For me?
Oh, you're going to make my heart melt, Harvey.
He's such a cutie.
He's got such a good heart, this kid.
Fuck at his little smile.
Cheaky chocolate.
