0:00.0	Hello everybody. Happy book club day. Happy Sunday.
0:19.0	I really like these little buns we do. I know, they're cute. I feel kind of chilled when we're just sitting here quiet. It's nice, isn't it? I wanted to say, I went to bath last night. I know, I saw it look lovely. It was really lovely. Gabby's so lovely. Yeah, what a lovely woman. She's a real champion of me.
0:37.9	She's just cute. Why is that? Where's that stem from? She, she's never missed an episode of EastEnders.
0:43.6	Love that. I can't even compete with that because I definitely have. But never missed an episode.
0:48.8	Amazing. From the beginning. Love that. So she loves it. And I think she did. We were talking last night, but I think she did my first interview on the big breakfast. Oh. When I first started. That's cute. So all through the years, really. Well, she's watching you see you grow up. Yeah. It's lovely that she came because she'd been up since 3 o'clock in the morning doing morning live in Manchester. So she came all the way down on the train or all of us. Very, very kind, isn't it? Very, very kind. So it was lovely. But I have to, I've saved these for us to have a look at. What is it? Got a couple of presents.

1:42.8	that I was talking about on the pod I was meant to ask ask you about those. So I was like, what is a house coat? I am so excited. What, she made it? I don't. She's got it made.

2:14.1	Me.
2:51.2	But I get the bleach thing because every sweatshirt has got bleach on like the cuff, the end of the cuff. Yeah. Or the, how does that, I know how it happens. It's when I put it in the toilet and if I clean it, it splashes up. Yes. Or take the thing out. So get your house coat on, girl. That is brilliant. Thank you so much. I'm going to get Roe Road to do a nice picture of me in it in a minute, so I'm very proud of that. Love it. That's a quick turnaround as well. Yeah, a very quick turnaround. Yeah, very impressive.
