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. Yay! Welcome home, honey. You've got phobia of balloons, haven't you? Yeah, I really don't like them. It's not so much touching them is them exploding. You're scared of them going pop. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And when I'm okay blowing them up and knotting them, but I just can't if they're going to explode in my face.

You don't mind the squeak?

No, I don't like the squeak.

It's when the children eat the, they bite them. Rennie, she's like, oh, chow-d-oh-h-h-h-h. They're not the feel of it on their teeth. Yeah. And that's scratching, oh, it's too much for me.

I can't, it's too much.

That's a recipe for popping it as well, putting on your tea.

I'm like this.

Go out of the balloon! Oh, it's too much for me. I can't. It's too much. That's a recipe for popping it as well.

Exactly.

I'm like this. Go out of the balloon! I can't handle it. I can't handle it. I have to leave the room. It's too much. Not with helium, though. I don't think I've got the same stress with helium. No. Just these rubber bastards. Are they rubber? Latex. No, what are they?

They are rubber, aren't they?

Don't know.

They literally look like they're going to explode at any second. Yeah. But how the fuck have you been? Oh, God. Shit me. A lot's gone down. It's been a really long time. A lot's gone down. It didn't funny how two weeks seemed massive. Huge. But in fact, it actually was just two weeks. Yeah, because I have moved. Yes, she has.

Yeah. Because I have moved. Yes, she has. She has. Successfully. Successfully. But I'm also back in London for two weeks. Yes. finishing off my absolute radio contract. Yes. I'm working there until the beginning of December. And then this though, I'm going to keep doing all the time.

And she's going to commute.

Forever more.

I'm going to be doing this on Wednesday. Yeah. So yeah. So that's my... Commuting every week like me. Yeah, commute every week like you. We're going to both be commuters. Comeoters? It's long, right? I did it on Sunday night to come down to London, the train from Cardiff.

It's only two hours, but I just don't know what to do with two hours to myself now.
