Nat’s solo chats - any rants always welcome! 

Scraping the Barrel - SCAN AND SHOP VIRGIN NO LONGER! Marc’s still adamant that days old salad from a takeaway is an ideal packed lunch - what’s the maddest thing you’ve pack for lunch? Bonce vs list! - Are you a list maker? Always collecting for Nostalgia Fest!

What’s brewing with the Nieces - are we all skipping the end of summer, all of autumn and going straight to Christmas? Group chat ettiquette - the “happy birthday” that makes everyone else’s look like they’re tagging on!

Things we’re nagging with Linny about - Chilled walks gone wrong! Getting locked out when you’re in a hurry and everything becoming a right faff

The Tony talks chatter - Keep your DIY questions coming, also open to some saucy two paragraph stories for Tony to read out at the Southend show - think cheeky postcards (both in tone and length)! Can we make Tony an influencer and get him any freebies? 

AOB - Housecoats… let's bring them back?! What are your experiences of therapy, either formal or an informal chatting circle with your mates?

Georgina’s Fact - What cat have you let out of the bag? Have you been scammed?
