This week Amy and Harriet are joined by the utterly hilarious Alison Spittle, who answers questions like how do you become the main character in your own life? Has anything really changed since the toxic messaging in 00s women’s magazines? And what really happens when you combine a boy in a car, a dock leaf, and a goose?

This week Amy and Harriet discuss the pros and cons of sh*tting where you eat AKA dating in the workplace. Isn’t it better to have your career in common? Is it awkward being your partner's boss? Or is spending too much time with a partner akin to spending too long in a rat-infested house?
