Hello, this is the Secret Mum Club. I'm Safina and I'm Emma.

And this podcast is a safe space for mums everywhere.

A safe space to share our secrets.

Because we all have secrets, don't we?

We do and as we know, sharing is caring.

You don't even have to tell us who you are.

You can keep that to yourself, you can be anonymous.

And all those secrets can be serious or silly.

All secrets are welcome in the Secret Mum Club. I was just saying I've got really greasy hair. If you're watching this, we're getting BAFTA ready, honey. Yeah, I was going to say it looks nice like you've had it died, but it's just just straight oil. Have decided that I'm going to cut it all off. I'm going to go for a big, thick, boogie, bouncy bob. You can do me? Yeah. I already want mine shorter than it is now. When I picked Sadie up from nursery yesterday, I picked her up and she went, hair wet in front of the nursery worker and I was like, it's greasy. Oh, that's, that's, that's, what happened to my voice? I'm really straining. Mommy's hair wet. I was like, oh, it's raining. Yes, I'm trying to get BAFTA ready. I'm trying to put some oil in my hair. I don't want to wash it. I'm trying to practice doing my makeup. I think that's what I've got a face on today. I was going to say, you're looking. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a face. No, you're looking good.

I would look my normal.

I don't know where I was going with that. Arousing self. But anywho, how the fuck are you? It's been a, it's been, it's been a while. It's been a wild. It feels weird, doesn't it? It's been a hot minute. And we should probably address the elephant in the room. Yes.

We sadly, as you will

know by now, took the decision to cancel our live show in London. It was a really hard one. It was a

really, really hard one. It was a tough one. But we just thought it would be too difficult for people

to get there. So it turns out there was going to be a train and a tube strike on that day.

And we just thought getting people to central London on a Wednesday evening was just going to be too difficult so

it was a tough decision we were really looking forward to it and it was a hard decision to cancel

but we just thought it was the best thing well it wasn't until I did that because we had a strike

didn't we a couple of weeks ago

and I had to walk from Waterloo over to here. And it was mad. It's mad. Obviously, you do it because you just do it. And then I just got to the studio and as we were leaving, checked when the next tube strike was because it was meant to be the following week and then they'd moved it to the 20th of May. I just remember looking at Rosie like pure panic. I felt the tears in my eyes and I was like,

what are we going to do? And it was just, then they'd moved it to the 20th of May. I just remember looking at Rosie, like pure panic.

I felt the tears in my eyes and I was like, what are we going to do? And it was just too much. Yeah. Too much. We didn't realize until that point how difficult it was going to be. So yes, we had to cancel, but we are very sorry to ticket holders. All tickets that were purchased will be refunded. Yeah. when we had one will be refunded.
