Coffee Moaning for Sunday. Nothing much interesting happening in my world. Big news is that a bunch of brands of frozen mangoes have been recalled for having a Hep A risk.
The chatters are all bitching about the weather.
Some are saying they were crying watching the HTSM video.
The title for today's live is "Travel Freedom Soon (?), What's Your PERFECT SUNDAY & Rainbow Babies."
Toffee in the background and they don't know what she is doing. She looks like she can't get up the stairs. Don't fret though, she was just getting a ball and Nads was thinking they were going to have to take Toffs in. Nads thinks Toffee gets concerned with the amount of attention Chi Chi gets. HIT THE SUBSCRIBE AND THE NOTIFICATION BELL. Mark thanks everyone again for their messages. Nads talks about their "reality show." Shout out to Ashley for his progress "you did have some weight to loose Ashley, we will not lie."
Talk about him raisng money for Mind.
Mark asks if anyone else feel flat. Nads says we had a heatwave and now it is cooler. Nads spent hours trying to find somewhere to go away in the UK. "I'm not ashamed to say, I want a holiday." Rishi says the UK is behind other countries when it comes to other countries and travel. Mark says other countries see the UK as a cesspit of disease.
(Well that is ridiculous and quite frankly if that is true, I would say glass houses mother effers. ) Mandy says she is looking at Ibiza, so cheap, but she won't go. Mark is not comfortable with the idea of travel, too many variables. They worry about the flip flopping. Nads says every country is going to get the Delta variant. (That is the variant dominant in Canada now.) Someone mentions for them to think about Turkey with their fires. Mark talks about climate change, but if he was watching or reading the news on these fires, officials in Turkey are saying it was arson or human negligence.
More COVID chat. Nadia furiously fluffing and scrunching her hair. Talk about curfews in Greece, Portugal and Spain, barse closing at 10 p.m. Mark thinks there will be a bounce back of raves, "they are outside, they are illegal."
Anne Marie is flat today and started her HRT today and this kicks off the HRT chat.
Nads tells us of her boobs and belly bloating. Bobby says it is good to see the country adapt to outdoor eating like the Europeans. How's Chi Chi? She has had a relapse of her vasculitius and will be put on immunosupressants. Mark says hopefully she will come home later today and Nads says "Please God."
GUYS HIT THE LIKE BUTTON, 800 WATCHING 152 HAVE HIT THE LIKE BUTTON. "DON'T YOU LIKE US?"
What is a rainbow baby? A baby that comes after a failed pregnancy. Mark:"Oh like Kiki." Boris' Carrie has called her latest pregnancy a rainbow baby.
How many kids is that now? Does everything need a classification these days? Nads tells us about her miscarriages. Nads says when Kiki was born that she was the same soul that tried to come in before. "When we went to the doctor's in Harley Street..."
Well la dee dah! Wu Tang Generator is worried about her pregnancy after her last miscarriage and is terrified. Nads gives her pearls of wisdom to stay in the day. Back when Nads was doing City Hospital in the stone age, she met a woman who had multiple miscarriages, 60.000 pounds worth of tests and had blood clotting, so all she needs was 1/2 a baby aspirin. Nads informs us that GPs don't know everything.
Duh. That's why they refer patients on to specialist. Good gravy woman. Nads says she is not advising people to take aspirin, you got that?
Talk about focusing on the day, not what might happen. Nads is pulling at her neck.
Mark asks Nads about the 12 week rule. Nads thinks you should tell everyone that you are pregnant right away, gets everyone involved so if it does fail, everyone can share the grief. She thinks the 12 rule is "very misogynistic way of thinking ... women were hidden away, because there was shame if you lost a baby..."
Whatevs. Nads says it is up to individuals if they want to tell people are not. Someone mentions it's to protect others from ackwardness.
(An acquaintance I knew was pregnant, but someone failed to tell me about the miscarriage. I went in with the you must be excited now. She said about what? Luckily there was someone else to catch the ball so to speak, interjecting with "she means about the trip" she was going on soon. She said yes. I went to the mutual friend and said why didn't you tell me? I get "Oh, I forgot." ) User1 wants another mental health chat. Denise had an ectopic pregnancy and is upset no one remembers. Louise's son lost his baby in a stillbirth.
A bit of a downer chat for the weekend.
What is your perfect Sunday? Mark goes back to his childhood and that Sundays are boring. Nads says her mum used to make them clean their rooms on a Sunday "and I used to hate that." Some things never change. "No shops open and the telly was rubbish and I used to get Sundayitis about school the next day." Juniper loves Sundays now. Nads misses doing nothing on a Sunday, what with having to do the Rip-off the Subs Sunday Show. Nads tries for them to have the Saturday where they don't do anything, but it doesn't happen. Nads says even though she does love having the shops open on Sunday, she questions it. (I only go out to store on Sunday if I absolutely have to. There are 7 days in a week and people can't take one off?) Nads compares Britain to Europe. Nads says we don't have that culture here, Sunday is family day. (I think it is a generational thing, because my mum would say on the weekends they would visit various relatives on the Saturday or Sunday, go out picnicking, go out to the Dales and such.) Nads says for religious people it must be very annoying. Mark says we have everything at our fingertips. (Remember the days before bank machines? You had to schedule when to get there, fill out your slip, stand in line. There were still banks that didn't open on Saturdays or only half days!) Mark refers to Sunday as the day for mindfulness and we don't do it anymore and Nads thinks "it's a right shame."
I hate it when they talk sense. Go on, say something stupid now!
Mark says they rarely go to the cinema as a family anymore. Mark says some people in the family see that as an indulgence.
Not if you claim cinema visits as a business expense. Am I right? Nads says she loves going to the cinema on the weekend. She just doesn't like going late at night when there is work the next day. Jen says she would love to watch and eat rubbish on Sunday, but it never happens. The best Sundays for Mark were the brief times of his bachelorness, other than the times he saw Izzy and Fleur. Talks about getting breakfast, catch a film. Mentions he was drinking too much then. Nads says "Let's try to find a way on Saturdays to do that. Our kids are older now, they don't want us around."
Umm so Kiki won't have to hang with you, but Maddie did? Okay. Mark:"Yeah, they hate us." Sue says rest, roast and relaxation. Good for you Sue, living your best life.
I wonder if she is a Cancer.
Mark:"And maybe a roll around on the sheepskin rug."
Nads says it is bloody hard work cooking a roast. (For someone who considers herself a cook, she don't half moan about it.) Pauline says black and white movies. (There's a project Mark, sit the kids down for some Hollywood classics.) Someone says they love to pain on Sundays, but rarely do. Cue Nads promo of art.bybox! #AD. Can't draw a stickman? With art.bybox, you too can transform your piss poor toddler art skills to at least a 6-year-old's level! 1 pound donation to Mind with each purchase. Nads fussing with her hair.
Bobby says when they watch films with their uncle, they have to put their phones in the kitchen, he turns the surround sound up so it vibrates in their stomach.
Mark says that is a great idea. Nads says the next time they watch a film, everyone needs to leave their phone in the kitchen. "You as well, because you hang onto your's always, you are the worst."
Suddenly, a light bulb goes off in Nads' nut "I've got that bloody box!" Mark takes issue with Nads say he is the worst as he sees her she is putting down, then picks it up. Nads says "We are all as bad as each other." Mark says in the UK we are made to feel guilty about looking after ourselves and then we are stressed. (
This might be a contenious comment, but I say it is the Protestant work ethic. You can't have fun, work is your reward, fulfiling your vocation through work, you will have rest when you die. Forget that nonsense I want to live! Besides I'm not getting paid enough. ) Nads reminds us that every year British children come out as the most unhappy in Europe. Mark O says a wonderful phrase according to Mark: An afternoon nap.
Nads says she is nearly there now.
Welcome Clara! Member's area promo. You get a discount on art.bybox if you are a member. HAVE A LOVELY SUNDAY, TRY NOT TO FEEL GUILTY, TAKE TIME OUT FOR YOURSELF IF YOU CAN. Nads says they should take that advice. No
tit. Mark is so jazzed about the idea of leaving phones in the kitchen.
Annie P says the 50 p a week for NNSS is the best she has every spent. Really. WE ARE NEVER PUTTING THE PRICE UP IN THE FAMILY GUEST AREA,
but the episode may show up later for free. You get what you pay for kids! MEMBER'S LIVE COMING LATER TODAY, LOTS OF LOVE MISSING YOU ALREADY. CHECK OUT HOUSE OF GUCCI TRAILER. BYEEEE! Those dishes won't put away themselves. Enjoy your Sunday!
