Coming up on diggits, Woody got to DJ at Billy Piper's birthday party. Could it be any cooler?

0:09.3

Did you clamp his car? Basically, yes. You got someone else to clamp the car. We have these gorgeous dolls that were made for us by Jennifer Jackson. Jennifer Jackson dolls. He's now removed me me and this is how I am looking now.

0:21.9

I look like something from Mad Max. All of that right after this.

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

0:43.2

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

0:47.6

There are items in my wardrobe. I think maybe there's one thong and maybe there's a couple of crop tops like brawlets, which I really like that are quite tight because I like to be compressed 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 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. 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. It feels like one of those small upgrades that makes a huge difference to your day. Yeah, and also, Stripe and Stair are a female-led B-Corp, which is something I really love supporting.

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

2:20.1

You live on it.

2:36.0

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 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 really not very comfortable. What have we done? I recently got a sofa from Sophology and they are very pro being fussy because they know what a huge decision it is. They actually encourage it. They want

2:52.4

you to find the sofa that works for your space, your life and your style. I started my search

2:57.8

on the website and then I went into the store around here in Hove. Absolutely no pressure. No one

3:02.9

chasing me around. The sophologists, love that as a name, are there if you want help and they really

3:08.6

know what they're talking about. sizes, fabrics, shapes, big family sofas, all of it. They know it all.

3:14.7

That sounds very good indeed because the sofa is, it's like a centrepiece of your home,

3:18.9

so it's worth taking your time and getting it right. Which one did you end up getting?

3:23.4

I got the cricket, two-seater,

3:25.9

in like a wine, claret colour, really rich, cannot wait for it to arrive. It sounds lovely.

3:31.9

If you're thinking about changing your sofa or you've just moved and ready for an upgrade,

3:35.8

take a look. Visit Sofology and store or online and find your local store as soapology.co.com.

This episode of Digget is brought to you by NS&I. You know, Joe, when the kids were little,

it was all building blocks and bedtime stories, but now it's GCSEs, driving lessons, and suddenly
