Hello, I'm Sophie. And I'm Melissa. Welcome to our weekly podcast on Wednesdays We Drink Wine. The podcast where we drink wine, listen to your dilemmas and have a laugh. Is that what we do at the beginning? Why do we do that? We swill our glasses. I don't think we're meant to unless it's red wine. Actually, no, if you're tasting it, you can. What are you talking about? You can swill glasses. No, but you know when people try red wine and they, like, air it out and they aerate it

and then they spin around the glass to help it breathe. To help it breathe. Do we not do that with red wine? No, it's not the same thing. Anyway, hello, everybody. We're back with episode three. I'm so excited. We actually tried to record this yesterday and Jamie made us not be able to record it.

Oh, you're outing him? I'm outing him. He basically tried to instruct me on how to record a podcast and he's instructing us by download QuickTime and off you go. And hung up the phone and me and Liz were like, sorry? Yeah, so he's been helping us do it this whole time. But now we know how to do it. It's her skill. We're independent time but now we know how to do it it's her skill we're independent women now we know exactly um so we're back and even more excitedly actually when this airs we probably will be well into the way of being free

and being oh my god yeah yeah i was gonna say how long have we got three three more days three more days even though this will probably air when we're you know we'll be fully out we'll be fully out we'll be in the bars we'll be in the beer gardens have i ever been into a beer garden no i'm trying to go to some wine tasting outside i think that'll be quite fun maybe we should do a podcast you know brinkley's does wine tasting oh my god i've never been there oh you'd really like it there actually somebody was telling me about a wine tasting course that they did i think it might have been um oh my gosh, I knew who it was, Jamie's step-mom. She did a wine tasting course in every single week. It was because I was telling her about this podcast, actually.

Yeah, so we should do that. I think that'd be quite fun. And then we can try different wines on the podcast and talk to you guys about it. That is kind of what we're doing. So actually, are we starting telling everyone what the wine is today? Okay, you go for it. That is kind of what we're doing. So actually, are we starting telling everyone what the wine is today? Okay, you go for it. This is Sophie's choice again.

Only because this is more like, right, we're going to be going out after this. And Sophie was like, I've got a really nice wine in the fridge. Let's just do the one I've got. Yeah, I had it. Even though it was my turn to buy. Yeah, you can buy the drinks

when we actually go out. So it's called, do we pronounce it Amy or Ami? I'm really dyslexic because you're asking the wrong person i'm gonna say amy it's very very most people might have seen it on instagram yeah i actually have um been very kindly given a couple of their bottles the red the white and the rosé yeah i've quite enjoyed their rosé actually i really like the red you're not so

much of a fan of the red but it's all just personal taste yeah and it's a really lovely bottle it is so it's very instagrammable yeah and yeah it's very instagrammable it's a screw top which i do we prefer screw tops or okay this is a bit of a snobby thing and i'm just gonna be honest apparently the nicer wines in quotation marks are with a cork. But I don't know if that's true. I've always had this. But then again, I've got a real cheap, shitty Pinot Grigio in the fridge.

I was going to bring out other than this one. I was like, oh, fuck that. It's got the cork in. But also, the funny story behind that Pinot is that prior to lockdown, this is how long it's been in the fridge and i mean in the wine bit and has not been in the wine cellar i wish in our little drawers shoved above our fridge someone brought it to us what is it brought abroad brought yeah they brought it to us as a for a dinner party and then jamie re-gifted it to the same person a week later at the dinner party and i was

like a comedy did they realize yes yeah they called him out on it and they gave him out to us they're like you can take that home he was like it's so shit i'm not surprised you can really gifted it i was like kill me now that is so funny so you still haven't tried it still haven't tried it because it's a bloody cork thing i'm not not very good at that. This is how little Sophie and Jamie actually drink wine at home. They don't even have a proper, like, bottle opener. We do, we just don't have a really trimmed one. Like you, Melissa, was like, oh my god,

gotta get some weed trays. 10,000 weed trays. How do you live like this? I was like, what? I'll just do Le Cruzaire, which is actually quite cool. Yeah, Le Cruzaire is good. Oh, Le Cruzaire. Le Cruzaire! Can we try the wine now? Okay, we're getting really fat. I have had a couple sips.

I already have because you can sense my hay fever's come back. Okay, should I be totally honest? Yeah, go for it. It's a bit sweet for me. Too sweet. But I like really dry white because I only recently, I'm drinking this year brought wine white wines back into my night because i kind of associated them from when i was about 15 16 would go to parties drinking that white wine and it was just terrible and so now i can only have like a really dry dry dry one i think

you'd be surprised if you tried that next to a really sweet sauvignon blanc like the ones that we used to drink when you're younger you'd be be like, oh, this is actually nice. But compared to all the super dry ones that you've been drinking, this is quite fruity. Is a Sauvignon Blanc... Sauvignon Blanc. Is a Sauvignon Blanc a fruity wine? To me, I find it quite sweet.

Like, it's a bit, you know, like... It's sound, because I honestly am so bad with wines I really don't know wines. I would know Chardonnay, which I like. Chablis, I like. Oh, yeah, lovely Chablis. Is that would know Chardonnay, which I like. Chablis I like. Oh yeah, lovely Chablis slice. Is that dry? So are they dry?

I think so. Come on, Melissa, you drink that. I know more than you, but I don't know this much. All I know is, okay guys, with a rosé, the Grenache grape is always a dry, nice wine. My mum always says, yeah. So normally like the pale ones that are from like provence if you look on the back it always says grenache grape it's the type of grape

so whenever i'm looking on a menu and i don't really know what i'm looking for i always try and look for the grenache grape and you know that's always kind of a good bet interesting so you can learn these little tricks and you know that like you need you should know a lot more because you drink wine like it's and i've done a lot of fashion i was at school and you know i obviously didn't appreciate it then when i did leafs food and wine proper wine taste i can't believe you went to leafs food and wine my friend chrissy went and did the food course there and she honestly is a professional chef like you just oh no i have the qualifications to do it yeah they did it at my school though so i did it whilst i was doing my a levels so obviously the appreciation level when we were trying all the champagne and the wine,

it was all just like, oh, I'm actually a bit drunk, you know. Oh my God, Beth, that was so fun at school. It was lovely, but I wish I could, could have taken away a bit more from it, you know,

and educated myself slightly more. But anyway, we know the Grenache grape, that's good enough for me. We know the Grenache grape. Okay, so first. Let's see what it actually says. Yeah, go for it.

Crisp with aromatic fruit. Clean, green, tropical... It's a Sauvignon Blanc. It's a Sauvignon Blanc. That's why it's sweeter. It is a Sauvignon Blanc. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, that makes sense.

That's why we're like, you know... So it's a fruity... It's a bit too sweet fruity for us. Yeah, I said it's a tropical fruit flavours. Gosh, how interesting. And I said to me, it tastes like fruity and too sweet. Okay, so we were right on our initial judgement. God.

Why are they all french god i sound so thick well no that's such a lie because loads of french oh my god i'm embarrassing myself honestly also just to clarify last week in the podcast which hopefully you've all listened to if you're coming back and listening again, Melissa decided to, after we'd finished, go, oh my god, you sounded so thick. I was like, why? Wait, which bit? You were like, the Gabby is not the Grave. Oh my god, it was killing me because I kept asking Sophie. I was like, what's the name of the bottle?

Trying to get her to tell me the name of the brand of the wine. She goes, Gabby. And I'm like, yeah, but what's the name of the bottle? I still don't quite get it. Gabby. And I was like, no, no. But you meant like the name of the brand of the wine she goes Gavi and I'm like yeah but what's the name of the I still don't quite get it and I was like no no but she was you meant like the name of the type of wine is Gavi but you thought you thought Gavi and you thought that the brand is Gavi I still do still and I'll say thank you so much for not just stopping the podcast and we could have edited out or I could have redone it I was confused about what you meant and I thought maybe

she's right and then I was like no and then Ione it. I was confused about what you meant and I thought maybe she's right. You were like, surely she's not this stupid. And then I was like, no, I was like, because you were so convincing. You were like, yeah, it's Gavin. You were so sure of yourself. I do have, I feel like that is one of my many talents. My parents always said that I used to have sophisms. I just like make up words. And I, for example, I used to call flirting, I used to say they're blousing.

Oh. And people like honestly call on yeah blousing also i called my nipples pippies pippies oh my god they kind of do like they look like a little pit when you're young obviously not now oh my god font scan i need to shush sophie's three steps in and she's talking about nipples oh my god right should we get on let's talk a little bit more about okay so my overall feeling of this for a serving on it's actually lovely i'm going in compared to the ones that i've other ones i've tried it's not my first choice though it's very sweet i like the aftertaste i don't like the initial quite a lot of ice in there as

well so i feel like it's probably a bit watered down i prefer that than you don't it's lighter yeah i'm like no give me the full-on one yeah it depends if it's warm then obviously you need the ice like in the summer when it's hot the ice is essential yeah the ice is essential also that frosted kind of lit to a glass nothing beats yeah it's very nice i agree also just on another note i do really sound by it's all about the glass you're drinking out of really like i had a red wine at the weekend in a thick rimmed glass and i was like oh get out of here also like a stubby glass like no i know it's full to the top and you're like i'm drinking a pint but really you're not gosh i know what you mean especially when you go to like a really nice restaurant they're always super these are very thin I said that the first time I came over I was

like yeah obviously and she's nice and I was actually telling Sophie's story the first time that I went this is my second boyfriend I met his parents for the first time and they served this beautiful champagne these like stunning crystal champagne glasses and the rim was so thin guys and it was like one of those fluted ones you know so it sort of just curves out straight away there's no anyway I took a sip of this champagne not realizing how thin the rim was and I over poured so it like over went down the sides and I was like no one will notice and I was too scared to like wipe the champagne away so I just left it there so even though it

looked like I had a massive like dribbling down your chest no it wasn't dribbling it was just like wet here like above my lip and I just left it there thinking like oh it's seedy they won't see it like convincing myself but I bet they did I should have just gone like whoops and wiped it away like why didn't I do that I've done that so many times but also when you first meet the parents so much pressure oh god should we actually just talk about that quickly and it's really off topic but like how was it when you first met go to your first boyfriend because I feel like they were more scary than Harry's parents I can't imagine anyone related to Harry being even slightly intimidating or scary no so they were very very easy and it was a very lovely to be fair my my

first um I always think this this is gonna sound maybe a bit controversial but I think when um the parents are separated or divorced it's kind of less pressure because you're not meeting two people totally and it's not the perfect family you're like well your family's a bit fucked up anyway I'm gonna put my parents to divorce so I'm allowed to say that yeah I know what you mean so it was just less pressure because I was like it's just one person and I can't remember exactly I think I met the dad first and um he was very much so leaving him to his own devices kind of thing so we met it was lovely and did you stay the night or was it just lunch um dinner I think I stayed I think I stayed the night god this is going back so many years oh I thought you should Harry I was like it's really not is your memory all right oh my god no with Harry it was so easy I think we went

we met in Selfridges we were at the champagne bar and it was Harry's mum and she was just a dream we were just having a gossip and a catch-up and we just gelled straight away it's so easy but with my with my second boyfriend the middle boyfriend parents are still together very big family four sisters there was a lot of pressure there oh yeah oh yeah yeah that's shouldn't I shouldn't have felt pressure but obviously naturally I think that you just wouldn't especially with sisters that's like a big thing sisters I was so lucky with Jamie's sister she's like an absolute dream like she was like my saving grace not that both his parents are so wonderful and like I really got on with them so well but there is a funny actually a really funny story about Jamie's mum so we all go for dinner and we went to Oka on the Kingsford

oh yeah and you're going to die in this story I never heard it I don't think I've I don't think I've heard this so I'm walking I'm all like I'm a bit nervous I wasn't really I went really low key but Jamie actually was like oh my mum's like gone and had her hair done and I was like great I'm in ripped jeans and bike boots

I felt really underdressed anyway turn up it was totally fine they would not they wouldn't have no jokes right okay good sit down they've already had a glass of rose

they of course are already late because Jamie's arrived late with me and it's not actually my fault but I felt embarrassed about that anyway and we're getting on we're chatting away and then james was just about to be strictly this is take one the first

i was gonna say my god did you bet me oh no okay fine right so take one fast strictly before you break the foot and the mum's got really excited and she's like oh gosh i must read you this message i one of my friends is such a fan of the show. She sent me this message. She's a bit pissed at this point. Right, okay, you can have a couple drinks. And she reads out the message and it says, I'm so excited Jamie is going to be on Strictly. Let's hope he gets a good partner

and it can distract him from that awful habbo girl. And she read the message. And I went oh god oh my god oh my god i went no no but she but it's all right because then we we fell in love and now we're great friends and i i mean obviously it wasn't a wreck it wasn't her saying it like her friend obviously saw and i'm not surprised she probably seen me on on major and Chelsea when I'm god get away from that stupid reality ho and all I did all I did was just went it was kind of I think she was like oh shit and I just went oh no my name's Habu not Habbo that's all I said it's all I had to say I had to make a joke about it I was like how what's a lot that's all i said you could say it's all i could say i had to make a joke about what's a lot that's so good right no i didn't i was gonna say that i would find it really hard i'd

have to get through the dinner but then i would be you know what i would probably take it then out on harry if that happened to me when i got home like i know what like they think of it like it was so that mode it was so like not intentional thought, oh, I almost feel bad because poor Jamie's mum. She didn't even realize. She just saw the message about Strictly thinking, like, oh, great. Yeah, exactly. Do you know what I mean? But anyway, just to clarify, I absolutely adore both his parents.

I'm very, very lucky in that sense. I've never really had a bad experience. But it is intimidating meeting parents for a person, I'm sure. Especially when you have that embrace. Oh my God, that was very good of you to just like be strong and carry on. I also went home that night and this is back, by the way, just to clarify, I know I've already mentioned it, but I definitely have allergic reactions to wine occasionally. You flaring up now.

Yeah, honestly, you see this face. And I went home and I had, whole face was like honestly I look like oh my god I feel like I remember you sending me pictures yes and I was like Jamie if I bit like this whole dinner and he was like yeah I thought you had red lipstick all over your face I was like shit fantastic you look okay now there's nothing yeah it comes in flags and waves oh my god bizarre that is a hilarious story you poor poor thing I bet's mum, as the words came out of her mouth, she went, oh, oh. Oh, no. Also, Habbo's too good.

She didn't even realise it herself, bless her. Habbo. Maybe she didn't mean you. She absolutely did mean me. Also, it was very awkward because we were boyfriend and girlfriend then, which was really weird. Like, don't introduce me to your family if we're not boyfriend and girlfriend. You were very soon. And he was sort of like, oh, no, we're not. She was're not boyfriend very soon and he was sort of like oh no we're not she was like so is this your girl and he was like

no no and i was like oh yeah i'm just one of those girls even more awkward oh my god that is another thing i do think you've got to be boyfriend and girlfriend when you meet me this is this is like my process i've done i've done this with every boy I've dated. Like, Harry's not special in this sense. I just... First thing I do, I'm just like, oh, I just want to come home. I'm going home. And they're always like, oh, yeah, okay.

Like, I've never had an issue where people make it a big deal, ever. I feel like meeting my parents is not a big deal, but meeting theirs is quite a big deal. Like, I don't want to go and meet them, even though I did. I'd be like, yeah, I'm just his mate and we sleep together yeah I know and you have to sort of justify like what yeah oh it's normal this is what we do in the yeah yeah in this decade I feel you but yeah meeting the parents is definitely an occasion needed to have alcohol involved I think I think so too you have to break the ice because even I'm like, I remember being like, I'm not being fully myself.

I'm way more fun than this. Like I have so much more personality than this, but because I didn't have a drink and I was so nervous. And you also don't want to like overstep the mark. It's also like, oh, because you don't know what they're like. So you're like, do they want me to be like really loud and garish and like, can I show my face? I know.

I should only really prim and proper and be a little like, what do you do? Anyway, should we go into our dine down? Yeah, I'm excited about these. How do I handle my boyfriend's sister ignoring me and his mum slightly putting me down when they can? It's not huge things, but it's little dates they can get away with here and there. I tell him how I feel and he says only him and I should matter. But his family treating me like this really gets me down. And I'm worried I'll eventually be so unhappy

going to his house, I'll just want to end it with him. Gosh, that's really relevant. I know, it is. It is really relevant. I mean, that is hard. That is tough. That's really tough,

and you would resent the boyfriend. Yeah. So this is why I said to you like after what happened with Jamie's mum when you got home I would have been like oh my god like freaking out at him even though obviously it's not his fault I think if you I've never I've actually been really lucky to never dislike any boyfriend's parents I've gone out with but I can imagine if they were mean to me it would I'm just trying to put myself in that position I would I would dislike Jamie I'd be like yeah same or I'd be like why aren't you standing up for me

yeah and also I feel like once they sort of have you know what we've actually had I remember we've had a friend in a scenario like this where we know the parents don't like oh yeah we have actually and it I actually think a lot i think it really did i think it was a massive factor in like all of their downfalls in their relationship especially it's because he was very close to his family yeah and you can't expect the boy you know family's family yeah exactly and then ultimately like if my parents hated harry and were like doing all that so obviously if it would make me almost then question yeah my judgment and be like am i not seeing something that you guys are seeing

so like this situation for you to be in is so hard i'd have a million things going through my head if i was you i mean obviously you need to have a discussion with your boyfriend about how you're feeling because who you have but he's she's obviously spoken to him i think that you need to really seriously be like this is very upsetting however i do think that if you guys are massively in love it does happen where family when the other half just doesn't get on with the family it's a real shame yeah but that happens I mean obviously that's extremely but it's like you know it does happen a lot of people fall out with their family over the person that they're with but I think if he is sort of refusing

to see it happening because I can imagine some people be like oh no they do like you it's all in your head kind of making you feel like you're a bit crazy about the situation I think that you need to give it a couple more times you know we're in lockdown now maybe spend when everyone's out and about spend some more time to see how it is but I mean you've been together for a year so I don't know how many times this has happened this is really difficult I don't want to say the wrong thing because I don't know I have no idea what I would do in your scenario I think what one of those things is sometimes you've got to accept that I love this boy and I'm gonna just have to this is the way it's gonna be

take a deep breath do go for a walk try a bit of meditation before you go and see the family and just go in there and be like that I'm only going to be here for a day two days for lunch whatever it is and then we will go back to our lives yeah you just have to suck it up you have to just say moments yeah to be with them yeah fanduel casinos exclusive live dealer studio has your chance at the number one feeling winning which beats even the 27th best feeling saying saying I do.

and also, I do think your boyfriend should be like, whoa, guys, but you can't expect him to not be, you know, distance himself from his family, because family is family. Yeah, yeah. And maybe he doesn't, if you haven't spoken to him, he might not even see it or notice it yeah he probably doesn't and also you might just it is a year some parents just take like a year to get

yeah kicked in you might suddenly just keep standing strong um just keep proving them wrong and eventually if they're good people they will see that too and if not and if it upsets you so much the point where you do feel like you have to break up with him then you know ultimately that's your decision you have to choose your happiness because if it's making you feel sort of like anxious before you're going to see them and you're thinking about it a lot then it might not be worth it for you yeah it's true it is such a hard one with families like I know we're so lucky we like our other past families. Because as much as it's awful if they didn't like us, it'd be awful if I didn't like them as well. Like, can you imagine?

That would be really tough. I think it happens. I mean, I know that it happens a lot with in-laws. Like, you see it in movies a lot, and they're like, oh, God, my stepmother is, you know, the evil stepmother. Mm-hmm. Yep. And also...

Family's complicated. I think there's also a thing with mums and sons there definitely is and there's also a thing with sisters so I know this with my brother how protective I am of him and my brother's had a girlfriend and she was very very sweet and very lovely but like I had to really make sure that I wasn't just naturally being protective like just in the way that I am because even if she is being really sweet I was like oh I need to make sure that I'm not like you weren't being cold yeah being cold and like being you know I had to make a conscious effort to make sure that I was oh gosh yeah I think having a younger I can imagine you being

freaking terrifying you would do the whole look up and down. You'd flare your nostrils. Oh my God, I would never do that. But by mistake. You wouldn't mean to. But you know how, like, you just... First thing, I do this all the time. I look people's outfits up and down, which is terrible.

And it looks like I'm looking them up, giving them the dirtiest look. Like, people have caught me on camera doing it, like, videoed me to be like this. And I'm like, God, I look like... I look like such a bitch, but I'm really not. I'm just being like, and i'm like god i look like i look like such a bitch but i'm really not i'm just being like oh i like this yeah or you might be like oh my god she's so pretty just that's exactly yeah i stare and then they'll be like god what a bitch staring at me she's giving me evils i fully puff on girls all the time oh my god oh our little light went off um god that's a really tough one i do think it's you've got to really really talk to yourself

have a minute just have a quick chat with yourself check in and be like this is what it's going to be like they're probably going to make some digs of me anticipate the worst deep breaths go in think it's only 24 hours just like it is yeah taking your balls yeah i don't think it's you know worth breaking up if you love that like Like, the boy isn't his... It depends how involved he is with his family as well. Like, how often you guys are having to go and spend time with them. And how bad they're being as well.

Yeah. But shame on them. Like, that's embarrassing. Yeah, and if they can't see that you're a good person, that you're making their son happy, you know, then that's their loss. And eventually that's going to, gonna i guess end in maybe them falling out with their son yeah you really don't want any of that it's a real because then the son might

resent you so really it's a deep it's a big old tangle web that one i really do think it's one of those things we've just got a deep breath deal with it suck it up deep breath be like they don't like me but i like them i love him this is what i'm gonna go yeah and put that first i don't think overthink it i don't i also don't think you can't really go to him that much and be like well you're parents no because then he'll just like man up overthink it and also he'll be like oh you know he might go so to his parents you know like oh she's not coming over this weekend because she thinks you don't like her and then it will just get worse and then they'll be like then they'll really yeah and it will become

a thing so i think that i agree suck it up and just you've got to suck it up okay are you ready for mine hi so basically all my friends are in relationships relationships and i don't really want one however i've not had sex and they chat about it should i just try and get over it with someone i trust or something because i've just turned 18 and feel like that's quite late i can so relate to this oh can you yeah i was 17 when i lost my virginity and i was so like strap me down like anyone i was like grab someone off the street yeah it got to that point which now i know it was so wicked that i was 17 i think i even went 18 where i just pretended i wicked that i was 17 i think i've even been 18 but i just pretended i think that's so fine i think that's like a yeah but i went to an all girls school

everyone's talking about it and it's all everyone's fake about and i was like from the age of 15 so i had two years of being like and then i started being like do you know what it's not even that i feel precious i'm just so bored like i want to get involved in the conversation I hate being like left out and I that's tough and I actually just went to a party and I honestly had just got a car

a Mini I got it that day and I drove to a party it was like an AT and we were all parked in the fields I just got it over and done with

ripped off the bandaid yeah and my best friend actually knocked on the window and she's like crying because she was like we were such good friends still

I appreciate that I was like she was just like what are you doing and I was like oops I mean honestly I still

I actually don't even count that the first times and I'm not gonna lie even if it's with somebody that you think that you love and you're really happy

it's never gonna be good guys oh yeah I just from everyone I know. It's going to be shit for a good old six months to a year. Let's be honest. Like, unless you've got, like, you're really experimenting.

I remember walking into my sister who was two years older and being like, I hate sex. There's something wrong with me. And she was like, no. Sex is bad, honey. How old were you when you were 15? I was 15. And I had a boyfriend i was with for two years oh fair enough um so i feel like i was god you must have been tiny yeah and he was a year

older than me um but yeah it was you know it was shit yeah it's not beat around the bush it's shit it's gonna be sure we had a lovely relationship he was very sweet but it was it was crap it's never good but i think if you're feeling under pressure no don't don't give in like don't give in just because of those reasons you have to want to do it you know it feels right it feels right don't think oh i have to be with somebody that i'm in love with and i'm in a relationship with because i don't necessarily think that that's always good it's not like hype like what it's what is it what's the saying it's not all it's hyped up yeah i totally have no regrets about the first time i did it i mean i'm not even sure that he finished

if i'm totally honest like it was that shit but um oh my god i'm usually my friend knocked to the window and i went right better get back to work yeah no no you've done your job he honestly turns me was like what have you done i was like yeah what is that not how you do it oh my god my poor mini i was like you're too sweet you christened it the day you got yeah and i thought i was the i thought i was so cool they get all steamed up in there oh no and then in the condensation it's just nasty i can imagine you know when you sit in a car for too long without the ignition on oh and it's just like i can imagine when you're in the cold with like wet on the windows no no no

i've kind of like mentally blocked out my mind but my point is is that i have no shame about it just find it really funny that i decided to do that but it i so resonate with you being 18 i think i was 17 18 i really can't remember i might have lied for so long saying i was 17 that i now can't remember which one I was um but I do think that I really resonate with you I remember all my friends talking about it me being like god should I really but you know what I probably what I should have done is just be like oh my god I've not done it tell me everything what's it like about this that whereas I was like god I'm so uncool and I want to be really cool so I kind of just play quiet being like oh maybe they won't know if I've done it or not stop do you know what I mean but really honestly like hello I was yeah

don't freak out about that yeah you're not also ask some questions get involved you don't have to seclude yourself for it um and when you're ready and the time comes the time will come I wouldn't yeah don't force it and don't feel pressured in those situations and you're ready and the time comes the time will come i wouldn't yeah don't force it and don't feel pressured in those situations and you're so young 18 is so young still god 18 so young and trust me you've got a whole life of shit sex ahead of you sex isn't always shit by the way i feel like we really paint it out that we hate sex like it's so bad but you do have like a good old year ahead of you once you've lost your virginity a really shitty set it's true unless you're like one of those rogue young girls who just like loves it there is those there was always those at school even from the day that i know one

specifically even from the day she lost her virginity she was just out for as many shags she could get. Absolutely loved it. And I was like, you know what? Now looking back, I'm like, you're embracing your sexuality. That is great. But at the time, I was like, oh, I was just like, what on earth? I was just in shock.

I don't know. I feel like some girls really are really lucky and they just like... No, they just really enjoy themselves doing it. They can just orgasm really easily and other girls can't um also i do think that girls watching porn and me and melissa briefly spoke about this i think if you watch porn you're really into porn you are more sexy like all my friends who watch porn on the reg are very very sexual you have friends that watch porn on the reg yeah really loads of people do i don't what people do. I don't. What, like by themselves?

I don't really know. I don't really see... Are they boys or girls? No, girls. Obviously boys watch it all the time. Melissa thinks that boys don't watch it. No, I'm sure... No, no, I know that boys do.

But if they're in a relationship, I'm bloody... They don't. Harry doesn't. Oh my God, have I told you about Jamie? I don't know where. Should I tell you this story?

You're going to absolutely die. So we go out for dinner with my friend jay we're just about to get this this apartment which we're in now and jamie was showing my friend the apartment yeah recently god i'm really giving it away here anyway we're she's going on to google she swipes left you know all the bars open oh yeah yeah it was fucking poor and i and she went oh god and i went what what is it and she was like jimmy there jamie sat opposite us oh no so he couldn't see what she was saying and also by the way the boyfriend her her partner who we're doing like a double date hadn't arrived he had no boy back up it was too me and my best friend she was like laughing she obviously didn't

want to show me didn't want to get jamie in trouble and she was like ah it's porn and i was like what the hell are you because i looked at the time and i was like i was in the room next door no no no no no no yes yeah yeah disgusting from my point of view from someone that you know i guess had sex from a young age it's not what it's crept up to be it's the first time it's always rubbish wherever it is no matter how ready you think you are from for it yeah and how even if you're in a loving relationship like I was I was still like oh kind of wish we didn't do that it was so bad you know not that I regretted it and I was like upset with myself I was just like oh underwhelmed yeah underwhelmed and don't put yourself under so much pressure I think you just do it whenever you whenever you feel like you're

ready and you really want to do it and you do it for yourself don't do it for like your friends and for the sake of having conversations and feeling like you can be involved in that that's not right I'm sure so many other girls are in your position so just think you're not alone I definitely was so remind yourself of that and yeah yeah so if it's in the position so just think you're not alone I definitely was so mind yourself with that and yeah sofa's in the same position just don't do it

in the back of your mini oh god bit of hard city I thought you said something out there and I was like what oh my god but also just

love you bless you yeah I know I feel you we all feel you I feel like there's so many people I bet half the guys

are faking it about like pretending that they've had sex oh yeah that's so true so many people probably listening to this and people are like, oh my God. Pretending that they've had sex in the last year or so. Oh yeah, that's so true. So many people will be lying. So true.

So, there are our dilemmas for this week. I feel like we haven't been that helpful. We've just been... Well, we have.

We said the first one, she's got to suck it up, I'm afraid, is my view. Yes, I am. But also, I feel you.

Know your worth. Know that it's shame on them, not shame on you. You continue being really nice. Deep you. Know your worth. Know that it's shame on them, not shame on you. You continue being really nice. Deep breaths. Go into it. Separate your relationship and the family element. Yeah, yeah.

Two separate things. Sex. Don't give in. Don't have sex in the back of your car. And... Just do it whenever you want to do it. Don't feel the pressure. So everyone, we have been grateful.

We're grateful. We have been grateful we're grateful we have been useful useful well i hope so i just feel like these these some of these dilemmas are so hard to like give one piece of advice like you should do this because there's always so many other things going on yeah but like taking from it what we read and telling you what we would do especially with the first dilemma definitely sucking it up for me and just heading through it you've got to and you've got to just saying yeah separate yourself and no you're not going to move in with the family you're going to see exactly but even if you saw them every weekend that'd be a bit weird like you're not that would be too much i agree um but yeah what is our next little section we've got to discuss hawaii really i thought we had the boyfriend thing then? We've got to discuss our wine. Really? I thought we had the boyfriend thing.

Oh yeah, you've got to read us your boyfriend. God, I'm really zooming down on our little script. Okay, so now... Give me your boyfriend question of the week. Okay, so I don't know if it's a question or if it's like a statement, but it's from Harry. I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but whenever I take photos of Melissa, she'll then look through them and select probably like, I don't know, six or seven ones that she quite likes. And then she'll ask my opinion and be like, which one should I post? Which one do you like? And I'll be like, oh, I like this one. I think this one's really good.

And she'll be like, really? I don't like that one. And I'm like, well, why did you ask my opinion? She ends up posting one that I don't even like. And I, well, why did you ask my opinion? She ends up posting one that I don't even like. And I'm like, why did you ask my opinion in the first place? If you're not going to take what I say on board. Oh my God, yes, Jamie says exactly the same. I actually do that to him all the time. I love the brush.

It's so true. And this is exactly how he will take the photos of me. I'll whist it down to about six or seven. He's so right. And then I always, I always then like choose like three and I'm like okay i'll do a slidey or but like what's your favorite and then whichever one he chooses i'm like oh really oh yeah i'm like oh but it's not what i was thinking yeah it still almost validates it like even if you chose one that i didn't like i'd i'd be like really yeah yeah you validated that i prefer the others. It was just like, Jane, do you like my hair up or down? I like it down.

Really? I like it up. Up. Tie it up. Scrape every single hair back. Tie it to the basket. And then he's like, my opinion is not valid or needed at all. Why do you bother asking me? Also, like, God, you're so lucky Harry takes photos of you.

Jamie's like, let me get the professional camera out and get the lighting. And then, like, literally. Even the other day with us, I was like, can you just take a picture? I with us i was like can you just take a picture i was like jamie can you take a picture of us on the iphone and he goes oh no no wait and he comes back with this fuji film thing that's like all like vintage looking it's actually quite cool looking and to be fair he did come out with some good photos but i was like oh come on i just want a nice iphone picture and got all artistic and he's like we need more light like go from this angle harry's so good i would really like that but it is yeah i i i feel like a lot of girls can relate and i'm sure a lot of boys can relate

yeah and it's not just with photos as you say it's like opinion on anything yeah should we get to pizza or sushi tonight pizza oh i want sushi why do we do that god i don't know i wonder what it is. It's weird. I deal with everything. I'm like, what time should we drive down on Saturday? 7am. What?

No, 1pm. Like, everything on the opposite. It's funny, isn't it? I wonder if boys, because I don't think Harry does it to me. Because I just don't think they care. He never asks my opinion on stuff like that. Yeah, Jamie never asked my opinion either. It's because maybe there's like a...

I was going to say, maybe it's like an insecurity banner and we need their validation, but then they tell us the opposite and I still do what I want anyway. So it's like, what's the point? Why does Jamie never ask me? Yeah, Harry never asks me stuff like that. He does with certain things, but with... Let's go back to the photos.

With a photo for Instagram, he never does. Oh, Jamie doesn't really do any cool photos. Honestly, he does weird videos. Videos of both of you laughing. They are very funny. I have to give them that. They're really not. They do make me laugh.

The ones you guys did in the first lockdown absolutely sent me into fits. Really? They were so good. We should do that. I think you should do them again. Yeah, if you think we should, let us know. Right.

Had your last sip of that little wine. It's delightful. Are you ready for the taste test? Oh, oh, oh. Are we going to rate it? Are we rating it? So what we're doing, I thought we'd do, we'd likely do it on the other one.

Yeah, go and have another slot. What notes do you think are in it? Fruit. We've read the back now. Oh, I know the notes. But I said fruity initially And you said sweet Which is actually what the back says Like what does it say?

It says something Really fruity It's like green tropical fruit flavours Like almost pineapple-y Oh stop that But do you know what I mean? I'm very very sweet I would say Green tropical

Kiwi It is very sweet I honestly can taste kiwi in there really i wonder if there's kiwi in there you know what i can taste grapes i can taste loads of grapes easy well now i don't know the price for this one but i don't should we have a look yeah have a little google you've got to know haven't we i do think if you're a serving your blanc fan it's it's a lovely one to go with yeah gorgeous serving oh god here we go oh i thought we said nice yeah oh okay hang on that's not right different places will sell it for different amounts amy with an e sorry everyone like really cool grammar if anyone like knows what

we're talking about, you might... It's like kind of Matisse. Is that the right word to say? The artwork on the front? Like, it's really cool. I know. I can't even find it on here.

Oh, here we go. I'm really persistent finding this now. £60! No, shut up. That says four cases. Oh, right. Golly. Does it give you the option for one bottle?

Shia Zeminani. I don't think so. Shia Zeminani. I don't think so. Shia Zeminani. Right. Oh, the rose. I can see the rose. Let's see four divided by six. You divided by four.

That won't be correct, Soph. Oh, whatever. Let's just pretend it is. About £15. I reckon it's about £13.99. Yeah, it will be more than... Oh, it'll be more. So it'll be about £17.

Oh, quite nice. The rose bottle is absolutely stunning. Yeah, the rose is really... I really like the red. It's a really lovely brand. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, it is. It's just, we are just not fans of Sauvignon Blanc.

Yeah, do you know what I think it is? I think if you like Sauvignon Blanc... You would like this one. You would really like this because I have not disliked it at all. No, neither have I. However, I would choose to try it wine. But is it good value for money? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think so. It's a lovely bottle. you would like this you really like this because i have not disliked it at all however i would choose to try wine but if it is a good value for money yeah yeah i think so it's lovely bottle and

i think it looks lovely like at a dinner party as well because people be like oh my god what a lovely bottle like it's like a bit of a conversation starter as well it's nice that's a cool one so i'm gonna rate it from a really personal perspective purely on taste just because I'm not a huge fan of Sauvignon I'm going to go as five or a six I'm going to go with five

but don't get me wrong it's really nothing against the brand it's a really lovely brand it's just that the Sauvignon is not it's not our not to our taste

not to our taste I quite like a dry one I could actually drink this, though, happily. Yeah, and also, do you know what? After a meal, I'd really like that. It's almost like a dessert wine for me. Stop. Yeah, I...

Have you ever actually tried a dessert wine? Yeah, disgustingly sweet. They are so sweet. It's just like drinking, like, sugar syrup. It's so wrong.
