  • We've Got The Plague
    Being ill is horrible. But being ill with children is the absolute living worst. Robyn and Stuart know this because they are both ill, and this episode they are going to discuss that at length. They're also talking about the book What The Ladybird Heard On Holiday by Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, plus how to manage your child's stupid expectations. Also there is an amazing Minion impression. But mainly they're just ill. So very ill.
