Summary

This year, we're celebrating eight years and 200 episodes of The Scummy Mummies Podcast. We had big plans for this ep: fizzy wine! A lovely guest! Lots of lols! A lucrative advertising deal!

But then, because premature babies, surprise divorces and global pandemics just aren't enough curve balls, life decided to kick us another one. So we've ended up recording this episode with Helen dialling in from hospital, where she's looking after her poorly daughter.

Thank you for all the kind words of support. We decided to go ahead and record something because so many people have been messaging us, and we wanted to share what's going on. And because we did want to mark 200 episodes in some way, even if we had to swap the fizzy wine and birthday cake for IV drips and M&S salads.

Most of all, we want to say thank you to everyone who has listened and subscribed to the podcast, who has written us lovely reviews, who has sent us funny confessions, and shared messages of encouragement. We had no idea what response we would get when we started this nonsense back in 2013. We certainly didn't dream we'd still be doing this eight years on. You have kept us going, so thank you.

Lots of love,

Ellie and Helen x

0:00.0	Today's episode is sponsored by EE. Now we have managed to record this episode amongst just the
0:05.0	sheer chaos of two alive, juggling teens, homework, washing piles and just mess. They just mess
0:11.0	all the time. How my kids know how to tie their own shoes or the days of the week is beyond me,
0:15.9	but help is at hand. I am very pleased to tell you that EE have introduced EE Learn.
0:21.9	It's a collection of tools, services and information to help families like mine learn wonderful
0:26.8	things and it's open to everyone everywhere. Their new digital platform EE Learn Smart gives kids
0:32.5	access to inspiring mentors from fabulous places like BAFTA and the FA. The lessons can help kids
0:38.3	pick up new skills that will help them get on and this could be something from backyard chemistry
0:43.4	to future ready financial advice. Do you know what? I just wish I had something like this when I was
0:47.5	growing up. Actually, I think I'm still growing up, so I better go to EE Learn right now. And if you
0:53.5	want to find out more, just search EE Learn. We turn my phone off. Oh yeah, I should probably do that.
0:59.3	Oh my god. Listen, we've been in some homes, but this is this is a big fun. I mean
1:09.9	is there someone laughing in the background? No, that's just me. That's me just going
1:14.7	I'm talking here someone in the background. Okay, ready? No. You? Not at all. Okay, let's go.
1:29.7	This is the scummy mummy's frog cock.
1:31.7	Hello, I'm Ellie Gibson. Hi, I'm Helen Thorne. And welcome everyone to what was supposed to
1:50.0	be our celebratory 200th episode. That's right, Ellie. We've been doing the podcast for nearly
1:59.5	eight years, and you know, we have so much to celebrate, and we've achieved so much, but what
2:04.9	better way to do it than on a Zoom for me in hospital? And I haven't set for about six days.
2:11.4	We don't have a guest, and I haven't had a shower for a week, so I'm feeling gross. Anyway,
2:18.0	how are you Ellie? Happy anniversary. Oh, I'm great, actually, I've just been for a run. Anyway,
2:23.3	let's not make it about me. Do you know Helen Thorne? Do you know, funnily enough, it's in the diary.
