Coming up on Digits. It's a year and a bit since you lost mum. I still get quite emotional, so I'm talking about mum even now. Of course you do, it's really hard. It was a few months later that the wheels came off for me. I had a proper emotional breakdown. If I stay in a hotel, I always put my toothbrush away, because I always think if you do something that pees off the person cleans your room what if they use your

0:22.1

toothbrush to clean something in the room oh my god i love a feral wee me i don't like a feral

0:27.8

wee so you're not slightly concerned that you might be seen when you're weeing oh no when you

0:32.5

got to go you've got to go All of that right after this.

Digget is sponsored by Stripe and Stair. Can I say, Joe, I think comfort has become my number one priority with clothes now, especially

0:51.4

underwear.

0:52.3

Hell yeah.

0:53.3

I mean, life is simply too short to be uncomfortable.

0:56.7

There are items in my wardrobe. I think maybe there's one thong and maybe there's a couple of

1:01.9

crop tops like brawets, which I really like, that are quite tight because I like to be compressed

1:06.0

if I've got a t-shirt on. But on the days when I don't need to wear those, I just want to hang

1:10.3

loose and I want to have a really nice soft fabric. And that is my ultimate dream bit of underwear. That's why I love stripe and stare so much. Their knickers are unbelievably comfortable. They're soft, they're breathable, really kind to your skin. Yeah, they're made from natural fibres. There are no nasty chemicals. And I think you really notice the difference straight away.

1:29.3

And I love that they don't just stop at knickers. Their brawlets are brilliant, no underwire, no digging in. And their sleepwear is so comfy, you won't want to take it off in the morning. Honestly, once you start wearing them, they just slowly take over your drawer. They do, and they do them in lovely colours.

1:43.9

It feels like one of those small upgrades that makes a huge difference to your day.

1:48.2

Yeah. wearing them. They just slowly take over your drawer. They do, and they do them in lovely colours. It feels like one of those small upgrades that makes a huge difference to your day.

This episode of Digit is sponsored by Sophology. So what makes a good sofa for you?

2:12.3

Oh, good sofa. It's got to be massive. There's a load of us. And it's got to be nice and deep and seriously comfortable.

2:18.6

I also, I always agonise over the fabric and the colour as well. Because it's obviously, it's like the centrepiece of your home. It's one of the most important decisions that you make when you're coming to decorate a room, I think. You don't just sit on it. You live on it. I mean, we do. you eat on it, I mean, not actually, but you talk on it, you watch telly on it, you fall

2:35.8

asleep on it quite often. It we do. You eat on it. I mean, not actually, but you talk on it, you watch

2:35.0

telly on it, you fall asleep on it quite often. It's basically, it's like a member of the family. It really is. I think people can rush it. I'm guilty of that. They panic by a sofa because they need one quickly. And then six months later, you're sitting there thinking, this is actually you're really not very comfortable. What have we done? I recently got a sofa from

2:52.5

Sophology and they are very pro being fussy because they know what a huge decision it is.

2:59.3
