0:32.8	So Fussy is a natural geodron,
0:35.7	and we were actually joking last year that they should sponsor the podcast because, as you might remember,
0:37.1	we both kept talking about how great Fussy was. Honestly, I've been using it for ages. I was
0:41.8	recommending it to everyone and then I bought it into the office for Ella to see. Exactly. So when

1:27.8	plastic-free and home compostable. They're delivered straight to you. You just keep the case and
1:32.2	swap the inside and honestly it couldn't be easier. Yeah. So they've got over 38,000 reviews if you
1:37.7	want to check it out for yourself and a 4.8 rating on Trust Pilot, Ella. So if you want to try
