Right, so… this one’s a bit of a biggie.

Lauren’s got some life updates (yes, those ones), and we’re chatting all about what it actually feels like to close a chapter and start fresh.

There’s no gossip, just real talk, some proper emotion, and the kind of mate support that makes you cry and laugh in the same breath.

Oh, and obviously there’s a wasp incident, a golf trip, and a deep chat about unfamiliar penises.

Standard.

Highlights:

(03:01) Fred’s four-hour assessment chaos

(12:42) Golf clubs, wasps and Peppa Pig

(21:50) Cricket match or fight night?

(27:03) Lauren drops the life update bomb

(34:08) Dancing on the beach at sunset

(36:14) Terrified of new penises, thanks

Right, so this week we’re chatting gentle parenting - or at least attempting it while dragging kids out of soft play and trying not to lose our minds in the middle of the summer holidays.

We’re talking about the good bits, the guilt, the full-on floor tantrums (ours and theirs), and why sometimes a tea towel cry is just part of the day.

If you’ve ever said “use your kind hands” while quietly losing the plot, this one's for you.

Highlights:

(06:15) The nursery drop-off drama (and bra strap grip)

(08:42) The Homer Simpson exit move

(13:52) Eva’s emotional graduation (cue the Matilda song)

(18:06) Freddie’s unexpected toilet announcement

(27:28) Dragged him out by the feet

(31:08) Nicking a balloon off a baby

Right, this one’s a bit of everything.

Sizing charts that make no sense, a dog that’s kind of ours, autism assessments, birds flying round the kitchen, procrastination at an all-time high - oh, and babies.

All the babies.

We’ve had loads of stories sent in about trying to conceive, and honestly, some of them had us howling and others had us nearly crying.

It’s a proper mix this week, so stick the kettle on and come and have a listen.

Highlights:

(01:43) The ASOS haul of dreams

(06:29) We’ve (sort of) got a dog

(09:13) Autism assessments and parenting chats

(23:20) Bird loose in the kitchen chaos

(28:05) Trying for a baby, Tesco toilet edition
