Trigger Warning: Medical procedure - discussion of Emma's experience with an ablation for Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) 14.53 - 19.30

I got to chat to potentially the queen of mugs herself, Emma Conway (@brummymummyof2 ) in her lovely kitchen . Emma is well known for her love of mugs; particularly for THE annual Halloween mug switchover in her seasonal mug display cupboard. For now, it’s in an awkward time of year; ‘we're currently in a phase I don’t really like, which is just mugs’.

We talk about how Emma’s mugs hold so many memories from trips they’ve been on as a family, to her favourite TV shows. If you’ve been looking for an episode, that really gets to the crux of the joy & feeling of cosiness that mugs can bring, then look no further.

When we’re not chatting about mugs, we’re talking about when Emma became a Mumsnet employee for the day to meet Gary Barlow, how perimenopause made her feel like she was going crazy & how she switched to decaf due to a birth defect that found her differentiating ‘pond’ like decaf to the good ones.

Here are the mugs talked about, if you’d like to follow along:

1. Disney World Mickey waffles mug (A mug tragedy 💔)
2. Disney World Enchanted Tiki Room mug
3. Gilmore Girls Luke's Diner giant mug (gift from a friend)
4. Rae Dunn Winnie the Pooh mug

Some of her quick fire favourites:
