Hello, this is The Secret Mum Club.

I'm Safina.

And I'm Emma.

And welcome to your, what episode is this?

I'm trying to do it without the script.

I was trying to do it with no script because this is now on YouTube.

Woo!

But we can't do it without script because he still don't know it.

Still, I've lodged in my fucking brain, but I'll happily recite 8 Mile by Eminem. Yeah. But, you know, 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 need to tell us who you are. You can keep that to yourself. You can be anonymous.

And all those secrets can be serious or serious.

Yeah.

All those secrets can be serious or silly.

All secrets are welcome in there.

Secret Mumgla!

Do we prefer this set up? Oh, we're in a different studio today. We're actually recording on a Tuesday, not a Wednesday, because Emma tomorrow is at Nativity. Yeah, at Joseph's Christmas show, but we also had a cancelled ones. We had to reschedule everything. I've had a mental couple of weeks, guys. It's been chaotic. So we had to cancel last week to move it to this week. Emma so kindly picked up the fort today. Yeah. Because I can't get my shit together. And you came in today. Bottom line is, we're in a new studio. We're in a new studio and we're actually really loving it. We're loving this setup here. Rosie's here. She looks like she's in our front room. It's cutesy-butzzi. I wish you could see it. We've got to bring it on, poster.

S. Cla's here. She looks like she's in our front room. It's cutie-patoozy. I wish you could see it. We've got a bring-it-on poster, S-Club 7, Spice Girls. It's like a 90s bedroom, isn't it? Anywho, how's your week being, Emma? Oh, we do me first. So I've had my last show on the radio, so that's over. I'm only earning about a fifth of the money that I used to.

Really need you guys more than ever.

Yeah. of like my new life where I just commute on a Wednesday and I go there and back in one day. So we'll see how that is because one of the last Sunday that I came up had an absolute nightmare. Fucking nightmare. I was coming up on a Sunday night for work early on a Monday morning. Got to Cardiff Central Station. All trains were cancelled. Oh shit. There'd been a fire somewhere. I'm like, I really don't have... Well, I hope 2026 doesn't mean your face is removed. I really don't have another option. So I was like, well, I hope I can make it to work tomorrow. And you just have to wait until the next train comes. And then that train's really busy because everyone else is trying to get on that train. Then I got on that train. I was like, oh train to London I'm going to be there really late but it's going to be fine I'll just be tired tomorrow got to Redding and they were like this train's going to have to terminate here oh fuck there's nothing more stressful when they tell you off the train off you go off you go left your own devices destination so what do I do now wait the next train. I had to find another train to London.

Oh gosh.

And then you get to Paddington and then I had to get from Paddington to my friend's house where I was staying. So I think I got in at about half 10 at night. Fuck me. I know. And then the logistics of everything has just been a total, yeah, a total nightmare. Anyway, first of all problems. I mean, shut up, what am I complaining about?
