So you've got some nice shelves on to my right. Have you seen these lamps behind us? Some sconces. I like them a lot. I didn't notice them actually. I know, I've been staring at them. Some gorgeous art. Some panelling. I love this.

It's more like warm tones for those of you who aren't watching in there. We're rebranding. We're becoming adults day by day. Every year, you know, is a year year of maturity and look what we turn up in although these trousers right they are stained they are i can see the toothpaste it's not toothpaste it's like i got them from that shop of vintage fit which actually yeah lovely shop but it's like stained because they're obviously vintage. And then they will re... But I do think people probably think I'm a mucky, mucky girl.

Well, these white stains are telling me that it's kind of toothpaste. It's not toothpaste. It's like paint. They arrive like that. Oh, I see. I know. Sophie's also wearing like... See, these are like grey baggy trousers.

I'm wearing brown baggy trousers. Sophie's wearing a tight, long grey top. And I'm wearing a tight, long cream top. The only thing missing is I don't have a belt. We're recording this straight after Glastonbury, but this is going to air. So we are going to go deep dive into festival living this episode because we just want to, you know, it's summer. It's summer. It's festival season.

There's so many festivals on the horizon. We've got Reading. I'm sure we've got loads more. I think we've got Boardmasters coming up. Can I tell you what I went to when I was younger? Park Life in Manchester. Was that when you were at uni there? Oh my God.

Honest time of my life. Oh my God. Melissa's sunglasses were out 10 times since she was about two. That's when I was 11. That is wild. Were your parents there with you then? No, no, no, no. So at 11 you went on your own?

No, me and my friend Molly went. Well, that's on your own. But you dipped in and dipped out, right? Yeah, and her parents live on site and have the VIP bit. So it was very much so... I don't know, it just didn't... You know, we'd go in for the day and it goes around to all the stores. We didn't watch any of the music at that point.

We'd just go around to all the stores and go home. Stores? Like what, the food? No, like all the little hippie shops and shops and get like fairy dust and like get some food. Oh my god, yeah, you're really young at that. Buy some like tie-dye stuff. I don't know.

That was my first experience at Glastonbury. Very wholesome. Just like nipping into a store and then you'd go home. She like knew her way around. I'm telling you because you can't nip around now. It's like full on chaos. If I'm going to be honest with you, if I ever did Glastonbury again, I would not, I'm not the type of person at my age to now be able to camp and cope with that like I wouldn't enjoy myself so

if I was going to do Glastonbury I would just have to fork out the money and I know it's horrendous and do it the glamping part and stay in like a yurt or something where there's like nice to lose and my friend Liv voice is giving me all the tips on because she still was camping up until about I think the last time she went was when she was like 22. And we were all watching on the TV, watching Dua Lipa and Coldplay on the TV. She said that she would wake up at 5am from when they had just emptied the port-a-loos out and get her toilet session in before everyone was awake when the loos had just been cleaned. And she was like, I had an alarm set. Either I was coming back from whatever I was doing

or I would sleep and wake up, go to the loo, do our business before when it's been cleaned and no one else is there because it's very hot in this room. Because those toilets, let me just tell you,

are hellish. Also, did you go into the SheWees? Freaking genius. You go in, they're really cute, they're really nice, really hygienic. I would recommend it, girls. if you're going to a festival and you need a wee always choose the sheewee over anything else they're kept really nicely it's just girlies in there

they hand you a nice little cardboard cut cut out thing and it's like it's like a funnel funnel in at the sides and it's literally almost like a urinal and you wee into it into this like urinal like thing and you get your own like cubicle and you come out and they have really nice hand sanitizer like nice hand cream well that's what it used to be back in the day at Glastonbury and it was so much nicer than going into the port-a-loo no bad smells the port-a-loo stinks like they also i don't know what people eat and what happens to people but i I have really sorry to be graphic. I've seen it in those compost loos where there has genuinely been feces all over three walls. And it's like, how?

What on earth is going on? I was like, how are you tall enough to like make it go up the wall like that? It actually sends shivers down my spine. It's so bad. Having said that, it's all very much so worth it, isn't it? When you're at the festival and you're watching Dua Lipa just do her absolutely and I do think festivals are so fun

and I think people are just so fun and everyone's like vibing and everyone's like I'm good in a great mood but number one tip of what to take I would say compostable baby wipes makeup wipes yeah compostable wipes or something both but like I would just use the makeup wipes yeah compostable water wipes or something both but like I would just use the makeup wipes if you're just

going to pack one just get makeup wipes yeah but just do the compostable ones because then you can use it for all and god forbid it falls on the ground

because things like happen at festivals at least it's not going to harm the environment because the baby wipes around these camping sites really upset me the rubbish

the rubbish is unhinged so as much as you can take things that are compostable yeah don't leave rubbish really have that in mind because it's not good for the next year small deodorant like in your bag because everyone stinks like nothing else taylor spit if the smell like put your arms in the air i nearly pass out it's me that's no excuse because that's a bloody concept that's not a festival people have come straight from their homes

it was so hot we all stank there's no excuse for people not wearing deodorant genuinely Archie he couldn't breathe he was like

I think because he was taller the fumes were rising I was missing a lot of armpits but he was getting whacked left right and centre

be careful with that but you're not on the floor I was on the floor which was intense oh my god so bring deodorant because that's just like not acceptable

I would also say makeup don't like no one gives a shit about how much makeup you're wearing oh god wear sunglasses sunglasses

I was wearing them until three in the morning not a scrap of makeup on my face all I used to do was lip balm a flick of mascara and we would weirdly

just put glitter under our eyes so we just had glitter on our faces and cover up the bags i don't know why it was just the thing glitter on like the inner corners so like what are they what are they called the inner corners of your eyes and then just around the edges like where the cheekbone is effectively where you'd put highlighter this is like before the days of highlighter really i think and that's that's all we would do and then you'd always just wear wellies a pair of wellies or walking boots no matter what like at this when i went it was not a fashion show it's about the practicalities of it i was shook at particularly

where i was like how how glam people were like i was grubby how the times have changed it was like people were in like gorgeous gorgeous silk dresses dresses. And I was like, huh? Yeah, gorgeous outfits. I'd wear out for lunch to the nicest restaurant in London. It's becoming a much more of a fashion thing, 100%. And it's the thing to be seen at. Like people are taking Instagram photo dumps. Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. It used to be you take a burner phone, leave your phone at home.

Like we're just in this festival having fun. Yeah, it's not that vibe. It's not that vibe anymore. But it also is like people are in it. Like, I had to scrape through my photos to see what photos I'd taken. None. No, I did.

I did a done, but it was quite off Jamie's phone. Obviously, I would do one. I'm just... I was last day like, fuck, can you take a photo? Because I looked through and I was like, got nothing to get in.

Got nothing. There's no evidence of me being here. No, not one video of that. Which is what you want, though. That is what you want. That also shows that you were really enjoying yourself. You're just in the moment. Also, to get your phone out, I would also recommend fanny pack.

Take a fanny pack. That is the best form of a bag. And get one that expands. Because then you can shove in there one of those Rain Max that condense down to nothing. That's what I would always do. And also, don't underestimate if it's hot in the day, it will just get freezing at night. You don't understand how cold it gets.

It always gets cold at night. So trackies I put over my shorts. I'd wear shorts in the day and then I'd put like oversized trackies on with my boots. It did not look cool, but we went for it. And also you just really need to go with people who know where they're going. Like if I was on my own,

I would have been lost from start to finish. Like I just didn't know. Also, if you're camping, I would recommend buying an airtight and hiding it in the tent. So if you're hammered, you can find where your tent is. And people brought walkie-talkies in our group because then your phones don't work. Also, another really good tip that we just, that's on our little, like, thing that's come from somebody else is to put timestamps on your messages because the signal drops in and out.

Yeah. So if you're like, oh, I'm by Brother's Bar or whatever. Yeah. At 2.50. So you've written that at that time yeah so if it gets delivered to them at four they're not heading they're like where are you and you're like i sent that ages ago i lost signal or whatever exactly and it is so annoying because you call people and it goes through and then it just hangs up it's like the most irritating thing and you're you're just lost so we've just been to taylor swift well i've just been to taylor so mel Melissa is going and so we wanted to play this game because obviously Tom Cruise missed his daughter's

graduation for Tay Tay oh you know he's a big Tay Tay fan so basically we're gonna play this game where we ask each other would we miss something over something if that makes any sense so Sophie's obsessed with country music would Mm-hmm. Would you miss Georgia's birth over meeting and seeing the Dixie Chicks live? Okay. I wouldn't miss her birth. Hypothetically, if she wanted me that, I'd be at her birth. Having said that, if it was to miss her birthday, I'd be at Dixie Chicks. Got you.

Like, even if it was her 30th, Dixie Chicks. Got you. Right, okay, right. Dixie Chicks got you right okay right would you miss your sister's wedding for Dua Lipa you fucking love Dua Lipa no fucking way

I've never missed my sister's wedding I love Dua I don't think either of us are like that die hard fans over anyone I know

even on Gorya but like that would be like to be her pal like not to just go see her do something or have dinner with hayley and justin bieber i think i might have to miss my sister's ceremony for that i would have to maybe

miss the birth great it would be and then see the baby straight after because it'd be a great story for like for the reception for the baby to grow up and go by the way the day you were born i was having dinner with justin we're helping everyone out with these situations. That forevermore, we've got top chat. Oh. If Jamie broke a bone, would you be there or miss that and be like, sort yourself out? Four. Let me think about this really slowly.

Paul Walker comes back from the dead and you're there at his rising from... Obviously, Paul Walker. Jamie's got to go to the A&E without me. I'm not there. Paul Walker comes back from the dead and you're there at his rising from... Obviously, Paul Walker, Jamie's got to go to the A&E without me. I'm not there. Paul Walker has arisen. I'm not knitting

that bone back together. From the grave. I'm on his grave. I'm pulling him out of the mass and brushing him off. You're there for his first breath

in 2024. He can breathe it into my mouth if he wants. Jamie's broken both legs. There's an ambulance for her. What would you do?

100% I'd be there for Paul Walker. I watched a video. He's much more in need. There's no one like him. Paul Walker's much more in need. I need to be there for his first moment on this planet in however many years. God rest his soul. Okay, so Jamie or Toby, they're doing a speech or winning an award

But would you miss it for A slow dance with Justin Bieber Yeah 100% Yeah and also Toby would want me to He'd be upset for me If I was to be at his speech

Toby really would Whatever award he'd be receiving This is more everyday realistic So one of my good friends Is having a barbecue. Her parents are hosting a barbecue. It's been planned in the diary for months. Yeah.

Okay. And it's all of the girls in the girl group and all the halves are invited and I think some of her family's going. We all suspect that it might be that she's engaged and then it's then a celebration for it. This is what my friend is suspecting. And Toby knows that.

But his friend is a professional cricket player and is playing for like the England T20 or something or whatever. He has decided to pull out of the barbecue. This is yesterday. And go to his friend's game at the cricket. Oh, no. So I'm annoyed, kind of. Yeah, I agree. But also equally, I'm like kind of yeah I really do but also equally I'm like I get it because it's my friend over your friend yeah this is a once in a lifetime thing

but I'm also like if this is an engagement like you probably won't be invited to the wedding if you don't go to the engagement no surely you will but like it kind of annoyed me a bit and it was in the diary first I agree that you're annoyed, but I think Toby's probably like not so much in the wrong. Yeah, but it's just like, ugh, annoying. God, why do you have to have friends? I'm just offended

because I'm like, you should want to be at my friend's engagement party. I agree. Like, that should be so exciting. Little hopes might not even be an engagement party. It might just be like

your ordinary run-of-the-mill barbecue. We must pretend it is even if it's not. Oh my God, I'm going to come back from that barbecue and be like, it was the best fucking dip I've ever fucking had in my whole life. Exactly.

Shall we get on with the dilemmas? Okay, dilemma one. Hey girls, long-time listener, first time, really needing advice. Okay. I've been with my boyfriend for two years and he has recently started working away. I trust him entirely and we are very happy.

However, I love the weeks to myself while he's away. I've spoken to a couple of friends whose boyfriends go away and made the joke, I bet you can't wait for a night by yourself for them to tell me that they really miss their partners when they're away. Should I be worried that I don't miss my boyfriend when he's away for weeks at a time?

Yes. I always look forward to seeing him, but I just love the house being immaculate, eating the teas I want, and not having to answer to all evening to him if I want to do nothing. I hope you settle my mind

that I'm not just a cold heartless or don't actually love my boyfriend. Right, listen. I love one night on my own, but second night i'm already missing i really don't like i actually love the evening but like i hate the sleeping part is terrible alone but having said that i will say it's really subjective because i know people have very happy marriages obviously i don't understand it myself but like helen bonacarta or whatever lives separately to her husband like i don't know if that, but like Helen Bonacarta or whatever lives separately to her husband.

Like, I don't know if that's just your personality. Like, you might be insanely independent. I'm going to say I don't think it's right that you don't miss your partner. You should miss him. Yeah, you should miss him. Fair enough if you're like, I don't miss him after three days. Fine. But if it's going on for three weeks, you should probably miss him.

Like, I miss my friend if I don't speak to him for three days, right? That's because you enjoy something so much that you kind of want it to be there all the time so I don't think if you're really having more fun without him and you're like don't miss him a week it's too much right it's a little bit of a worry I feel like we have to generalize here in order to give some good advice fine if you're like a week to myself it's been wonderful but I'm really ready for him to come back now I'm missing him so much fine but he's going away for three weeks and you're like don't miss him at all and also like I get you being like I like to drink the teas I want to drink and like not be bothered but like that does just wear thin after two days then you're like oh I need the background like I would rather be bothered I get that need and then it happens and you're like right that

scratch the it like you obviously find him annoying right I think that's what it is like sometimes you become like is complacent the right word I don't know so tolerant of someone just being there it's kind of sounds like what it is rather than him being like someone that you love being around he like irritates you I feel sounds of it it's not great I would explore this further I'm trying to think of like my previous relationships where I didn't live with people and I would probably I could go like three no but I would really miss them like I really wouldn't want to be like oh give me another two weeks I know three weeks is a long fucking time like that's long distance to me yeah right steps plan of action I think you should probably speak to your friends about it a bit more and be

your friends are probably going to be really about it a bit more and be your friends are probably going to be really good like be like just probe me and ask me questions I'm really I want to have an open conversation about how I'm feeling I'm still feeling like happy to see him but I'm not missing him like how are other elements of your relationship maybe like do you feel like you're more in a friendship do you want to have sex with him yeah I don't know do you fancy him do you want to rip his clothes off? Yeah. Maybe explore other avenues.

Do you prefer hanging out with your friends or with your boyfriend? Oh, that's a good one. That's a really big one. And if it's your friends, if you'd rather night out with your friends, your girls, it's game over. Also, I think it would speak volume if you want to hang out by yourself completely or your friends. Ask yourself that question. If you're a real loner, an introvert, you really need your own time and space,

then maybe it's not a boyfriend thing. Maybe it's just a you thing and you're always going to be like that with people. This is true, but then how does one have a relationship? I don't know. Okay, I've got a really good example, right? Okay. I had a holiday home in spain and i

would go there for five weeks i used to make up excuses not to invite my first boyfriend because i would rather be there with my family that is when you know it's over that's the same thing because you're you're not i didn't miss him i was like yeah i was like thank god i'm going away for five weeks and he'd be like can i come i'd be like oh my god no we've just like got not got enough bed. Back to back. Like having guests. Back to back.

So like my dad wouldn't let us sleep in the same bedroom. You can't sleep in the spare room because like my sister said with our friends, I'd like, no. I need to go out and have my babies on ice and like meet the boys. Yeah, exactly. I'm out in Port-au-Prince with my babies

and fucking ice and you're not coming. Oh God. That's the same vibe. And I knew that was them. I was like, well, we've got to break up at some point. Yeah. That's just like, you're just in a relationship for the sake of it it's not bothering you it's all right but you'd rather them not be there because you're gonna have more

fun without them exactly I was like that with my first boyfriend it's weird because you always just forget that you need to break up with them yeah because you're so young you're like oh you know you're not gonna marry them so you're like yeah it's really not that deep I moved school so we didn't speak for like three weeks bear in mind but I was also 17 so like that's actually like semi unacceptable 16 17 like you should know we just didn't message to and I was like we could probably bring her you fizzled out it just fizzled out and you just get to the point where you're just like I'm so not bothered at all by this and then with yeah in adulthood I've had it where they've gone away and I've literally been like oh thank god this is why I think that you probably need to weigh into this more and

think about if you actually really love this person want to be with them because not missing them doesn't necessarily I think that is a problem because when this relationship that I had when this person did go away which was towards the end of the relationship, it left me time to breathe and be like, oh, I don't miss him at all. And I'm actually enjoying my own company way more alone than I am when he's here. Not that there's a problem. There's no arguments. But I'm just so much happier when they're gone. That's a problem.

She prefers it when he's gone, right? Yes. And that's a problem. Like,by can be gone like we have like a night off every now and then like he travels whatever i'm like oh i'm really i've had a lovely night to myself but it would be more fun if he was here or i can't wait for him to come back tomorrow even when i go out for the day i'm like oh can't wait to see him tonight you know you should have that yeah it's not right it's not right to not miss someone who's been three weeks.

It feels a bit like when he's there, you're a bit like, oh, he's there, but I know he's leaving in a week, so it's okay. That's what it feels like. I get my alone time back. Yeah. So it feels like it should be really the other way around. So I think this is a bit of a red flag. I think you should probably really ask yourself those serious questions. Like, would you want to marry him?

Do you want him to be the father of your kids if you want kids because then he's got to be around more like all of those things like this isn't very long-standing relationship in my view completely agree however if you're both happy like living this very sort of nomad life yeah it just sounds like you're bored if you're just you know if you're happy being bored and you're happy and you're happy with the scenario fine but you're clearly not because you're writing into us and asking for advice. So I really think talk to your girlfriends about it, explore it more, and don't make a rash decision. Just really think about it. And then you don't want to waste his time too. It's a bit unfair.

Lockdown brought us closer and we ended up becoming each other's best friends and falling for each other. We agreed to keep things pretty open, but also agreed that neither of us would actively be looking for other partners. This I always think is so playing with fire. If we happen to have a one-night stand with another partner, we would agree to use protection to help the other

just as a matter of respect got you so you're essentially just having a very casual open relationship yeah but you're falling in love so it's really difficult it's now been over three years i've met all of his family and friends we holiday together we text and facetime every day and night i even have a holiday planned with his family. Sorry, this is... I've just come back from spending the weekend with him whilst we were in bed together. He told me he had some news. He said that last weekend he had slept with someone and he didn't use protection and he thinks he has symptoms. No, I'm sorry, you're going out. What's going on? After 100 questions, I found out that he'd been speaking to her for at least a week. The night in question,

he'd ended our FaceTime saying, I love you to me and went around hers at 3am on a saturday night then facetimed me on a sunday as normal no no this isn't right i know we never became official but even the rules we made on year one were broken because he's sought it out and didn't use protection he's since begged for forgiveness and said he's been out of sorts the past few months due to some bad news. Do I have the right to feel cheated on? Is it forgivable because we were never official? Listen, I don't think you have really any leg to stand on. This is bound to happen. I just think, yeah, normally I just... It's bound to happen.

Well, kind of. You do have a leg to stand on. You've been on holiday together and met his parents. I've 100%. But why have you left it this long to court? But you're not official. You're not boyfriend and girlfriend. You've agreed that you can sleep with his parents but why have you left at this long to call but you're not official you're not boyfriend girlfriend you've agreed that you can sleep with other people as long as you use protection

I'm shooker he's fucked up on one night and not used protection and now he's got chlamydia or whatever wait wait wait so he's been sleeping with loads of girls

this whole time they both have and it's okay they essentially have an open relationship you've painted some incredibly grey

lines grey areas in this agreement. It's grey. It's a big grey wall. And it would, the fact that it's worked for three years to me is... Wild. Unbelievable. Wild. I think you're clearly in love with this person. You want to be with them, but neither of you have, like, made that happen.

I just think, like, what are you actually upset about? Like, you know you can't be upset about anything because you've said that he can go sleep with other people. And if he does sleep with somebody unprotected, he has to tell you, and he has done, and now he thinks he's got issues, but, you know, contracted an STD. But, like, that's probably going to happen,

and it's okay. He'll go get it fixed or sorted or take some medication to get rid of it, and he can go back to doing what you're doing. I think you have to ask yourself the question that are you going to be okay with him potentially falling in love with somebody falling in love with somebody else yada yada yada this is the is a recipe i think you're playing with fire in this scenario it's great these scenarios are always good on paper if you're

like i'm on such the same page as them and like we don't really have much of an emotional connection i'm i'm not jealous of him sleeping with other people and i'm doing the same thing that's fine but like if you're so in love with someone and you're having a problem with them seeking out other people because that's what he's gonna do then 100 you're gonna have to protect yourself and be like i actually can't be in this scenario i need to take a step back ask yourself the question whether you'd be okay with him falling in love and having a girlfriend because at the moment you're sort of like his girlfriend but without saying it but he doesn't by the sounds of that think that way he really has boys are very black and white he would have taken this literally like you said it's okay for me to sleep with people and if i they have all

these weird rules so you're allowed to sleep with whoever you want you're not allowed to and you're not allowed to seek it out though. Like those are such small caveats. But I guess from your point of view, they were the rules that we agreed on. So if you want, you can be a bit annoyed that he didn't use protection. But like how annoyed can you get? Well, I know. You can literally just be like, oh, that's fucking annoying. Like now I've got to go get checked.

Or like now we can't have sex. It's not like he's your boyfriend. You can't start crying about it. And you definitely can't scream at him about it. Which is such a shame because I know. It's not like he's your boyfriend. No. You can't start crying about it and you definitely can't scream at him about it. Which is such a shame because I know you want to. You're being very like guarded with your emotions. I feel like you need to ask yourself

how you feel and be honest with your emotions because I think you're like hiding how you actually feel and you're acting like you're upset because he didn't use protection but actually you probably... Is it about something else? Yeah, like is it because he's sleeping with other people?

Yeah, you're like, do I have the right to feel cheated on? Yes, you absolutely do have the right to feel cheated on. But essentially... But no, you don't. You haven't been cheated on, technically. But you can just say, like, look, I feel like I've been cheated on, but we don't have this commitment or whatever. Moving forward, just make me your girlfriend.

Exactly. You're going to have to be brave and bring it up. And if you don't like him enough to make him your boyfriend, because clearly for three years it hasn't mattered enough to you, which is what's confusing me. Keep us updated. Keep us updated. So this is dilemma three.

Okay. Hi, tinies. I really need advice on this because I have no idea what I'm dealing with here. My dad is a technophobe. Whenever he needs anything set up, it's always done by me, his only daughter. Oh, no, I feel unwell already. What? I really do.

Why? I was just thinking I had to do the same thing later. I really do. I don't know why, but to do with the dad, right? She's going to find something on his laptop, obviously. Oh, my. Today, he asked me to set him up on online banking. When the verification code from his bank came through,

I tapped into his messages and saw one from an unknown messenger. The message was an address which was described by the sender as a nice, discreet place and ended with, See you soon. No. I took note of the number and searched Google to discover that was for an escorting device no i'm not laughing i thought i'm well is he married to my mom and dad have been married

for 25 years and never separated this is awful when i was younger i found search history in my dad's phone for similar escorting services back then i went straight to my mom to tell her to which she obviously was distraught he made a dog. He made excuses, but they were ultimately accepted, and it was all swept under the carpet. Fucking hell. Fucking hell. I'd mentally blocked this incident from my mind. My mum absolutely adores this man and would do anything.

She's also been unwell, and my dad has seemed to be her rock. It all feels tainted thinking about how he could lie and hide something like this. I really want to believe he would never do anything like this to my mum, but seeing it again all these years later has made me wonder if he's always been seeing escorts behind my mum's back. Do I make him come clean or play dumb? Either way, I'm terrified of the outcome. Right.

If your mum's unwell, there's more things that we have to think about here. Your mum's health comes first. Absolutely. I think more so than anything. And until your mum is better, stress or anything like that is the worst thing for your health so I know it's incredibly hard but I would probably have to

which is unfair on you because you shouldn't have to fucking do this I would wait until things Until things improve with your mum or whatever, and then go to your dad and make him fess up. Firstly, I wonder if you've got siblings, because I have an older sister. Share it with your siblings. She would be the first person I'm calling. Oh, me too. And I would listen to whatever she does. Me too.

Secondly, you need, like, support, emotional support. Like, I would get a therapist. Like, I think this is really intense. I think if your mum's unwell, like, it's too much for you to go through on your own get some advice as you say from like a therapist a therapist a sibling share the burden with someone that has equal love for the people that you're like but I agree I don't think if your mum's unwell I think like it's just an awful she just like you don't want to stress her out. Like her health comes first. It's really hard because ultimately I would be like, you know, if your mum was in a different situation,

I would be like, I would go to my dad and be like, you have to fucking tell mum. If your dad is a really sentimental, emotionally intelligent person and you know, like you say to him like, I don't want to bring mum down with this, but like I know what you've fucking done. Stop fucking doing it. Firstly, I would tell him he needs to go to a therapist like he needs help yeah and that's what i would do i would i would not be able to bottle it i would just not i would not tell my mum if my

mum wasn't well but i would 100 say to my dad i agree fucking pig yeah and sort it out I'm not going to tell mum and neither are you because she doesn't deserve to be stressed but stop it now and go get help fucking stop it

first and foremost get the emotional support you need so like get yourself a therapist and then from there like maybe they will help you like understand

or just like air how you're feeling and then you can just be more equipped to know how to deal with the whole situation you'll know how to rationalize your own emotions and just all these things and i think you should definitely talk to a professional about this but we're sending you loads of love so much love and please tell us what happens yeah keep us updated um and sending your mom so much love as well love you love you right silly girl summer hey ladies loving all the silly antics so far and want to put my own

forward me and my friends went to ayia napa to celebrate the end of our a levels and it was something like out of the in-betweeners we'd been at a phone party classic and met a cute guy who i thought i'd take back with me gorgeous weorgeous. We made it back to my room and started taking our clothes off to do the deed. He then looked at me straight in the eye and went, Oh, no. Before proceeding to projectile vomit all over my body and bed. You know, proper carrot kebab.

Sick. Not the one. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Carrot kebab. Sick. Carrot? I didn my God, oh my God. Carrot kebab? Sick for me. Carrot? I didn't know there was a carrot kebab.

No, I think they mean like the bitty. The colour of it. And you know, I feel sick. And you know sick when it's got like the chunks of stuff in it. That is, no, I would never recover. I didn't hit the jackpot,

but ended up nursing him all night long. In the morning, he helped clean up and was so apologetic and i sent him on his merry way expecting to never see him again but flash forward to leaving and guess who i'm sat next to on the flight back no my sick boy no that is so heinous have you have you ever had someone throw up the poor guy as well would have just been like i need to just never see this girl again and then he's coming up on me once and I'm trying to think who it was.

I've just got a vision of it. Has anyone ever peed on you? No, but I've been thrown up on 100% in a club and I cannot think where it was. And it was with you, I'm sure. Oh my God, you knew my friend? I think it was made in Chelsea days and someone just chundered all over my feet and I was like... I've had it where I had a boy come over that I had known from school who was a few years older than me and like he was super hot at school whatever and like in my mind I'd picked him up

as this like a really cool person but obviously never really spoken to him that much so he came to mine after like I think it was a reunion he was really drunk and weed all over my bathroom floor no as in all that's over my bathroom floor and I remember As in, all over my bathroom floor. And I remember he was so drunk, it was just like, really unattractive. And I was like, I'm not really sure anyways.

I went into my loo after he had been in there. And I was like, it's literally fucking pissed. Yeah, and I got so angry. And I made him clear it up. Was he just like,

no, sorry. And then we fell asleep because it was like, actually really late when he had come over. And then the next morning, he just like no sorry and then there's nothing and then we fell asleep because it was like actually really late when he had come over and then the next morning he was like

obviously like kind of trying to stay and I was like you need to leave there's nothing worse than when when somebody stays over and you're

you go to sleep and you're like it's not happening and in the morning you're like get the fuck out out of my

oh my god that's why you need to go to someone else's house because you can just get up yourself and leave at 5am and you have no and in the morning you're like, get the fuck out of my house. Oh my God, Faye. That's why you need to go to someone else's house because you can just get up yourself and leave at 5am and you have no... And you're like, I'm out of there. There's nothing to clear up. There's no bad memories,

no bad vibes in my bed. Yeah, there's nothing worse. There's nothing worse. And you're like, no, no, no, no, no. Like, no. That is what we call the it happening fast and furious. Fast, it's like rushing. It's just like the ick happening in Fast and Furious far it's like rushing
