Hello, this is the Secret Mum Club. I'm Safina. And I'm Emma. 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. In the pub, in the club. But for now. Have to be careful about lifting up my arm today because I've got sweat patches. I've got them too, don't worry. If you see them on YouTube, don't judge me. I've had a very long and stressful train journey here this morning. Oh, it was. She was late. It was 20 minutes late. Fucking absolute liberty. I was going to say it's unheard of for me to be late,

but I was late. It was 20 minutes late. Fucking absolute liberty.

I was going to say it's unheard of for me to be late, but I was late sometimes before. But only like five minutes. Never 20 minutes. She's never late. 20 minutes. Well, you are sometimes, but then it's uncontrollable the trains. Oh, honestly. It was the first time Emma commuted today. I'm a proper commuter now. and the stress of knowing your train isn't going to get in on time is horrible.

Packed train, people standing in the aisles, Emma commuted today. I'm a proper commuter now and the stress of knowing your train isn't going to get in on time is horrible.

Yeah.

Packed train, people standing in the aisles.

I was in a seat. I shouldn't have been in. Oh. The panic of someone getting on. What was a reserve train seat? It was a free for all. Oh, okay. It was a free for all. but I had a ticket, but I didn't have a seat.

So I had to just sit somewhere.

Someone was meant to be getting on at a stop.

It said like, this is, this seat is taken from Bristol Parkway to London Paddington but no one turfed me out luckily but every time someone got on I was like you know when you look really guilty so when you sit in the cinema you sit in the wrong seats you want to sit closer to the aisle and then you wait every time someone comes in. Yeah. They always come in the pitch black and you think,

what the fuck? What the fuck? What you weren't here earlier? Don't look anyone in the eyes. Not I mean, my popcorn. I've got no shoes on. I'm reclined back. I'm ready. I've warmed in it. And now you want to take my throat. And I'm going to need a piss in 15 minutes. I'm going to shimmy past you. It's going to be awkward. It was very awkward hearing people do the seat

negotiations because people were coming on and

going, oh, that you're in my seat.

And I think at that point you should be like, oh, sorry, I've got away with it for this long, but I should let you sit down because you've got the fucking ticket. But if there was other seats, so I would have just sat somewhere else. Well, people, it was full, though.

So people were like, oh, you're in my seat and the train is full.

And the people that had sat in the wrong seat were like, oh, it's like, it's a full train though. So it was like they weren't getting out. Train politics. And the people are like, honestly, the train politics, stressful. Also, I'm sorry to say, but people do smell. I sat next to two smelly people. I don't think I've sat next to anybody smelly. I text Stefan.

I think I'm sat next to anybody smelly

I text Stefan I think I'm a mouth breather though

I don't think I really notice that people

Yeah I sleep on my mouth

Do you breathe through my mouth? I spend a lot of time through

The mouth
