Had a funny chat with my son about me being excited about life. He said “you’re just always excited, Mum!” - I mean I am not all the time - but yes generally I feel pretty happy and excited about the small things in life. And, I think that’s ok. I know life isn’t always sunny and you just never know when the dark clouds will appear - but it’s more than ok to celebrate joys. And dance in your kitchen, and smile brightly. Anyway, lots of love and hugs x

**GARDEN AWNING DISCOUNT CODE!** Now we're all aroused - I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but it's been a bit hot lately, hasn't it? I'm tired of arguing about whose turn it is to sit under the garden parasol, so I've been chatting to Nigel at Retractable Awnings. They're a family-owned business and all their excellent awnings are made to order, here in the UK. They've got a fancy showroom, but if you can't make it there Nigel is always up for a chat - email [email protected] or call 0808 225 4455. He's offering 10 per cent off too! Just quote discount code SCUMMY. And see Stories for more hot awning action x

NEW EPISODE!! Comedy, wine and vaginal vapes with Our guest for this episode is the hilarious actor and social media star We talk about everything from writing books and kickstarting your career to what it’s like to have dinner with Boris Johnson.

Clara tells us how she makes her brilliant reaction videos, and what the people she’s reacting to make of them. We discuss how she got banned and then unbanned from Instagram, and how her comedy has helped her return to acting after a 20 year break.

We also talk about Clara’s desert island drinks, her exciting new project with a close personal friend of ours, and we play a quick round of Wine Game. To finish, there are some superb Scummy Mummy Confessions, and Helen rounds everything off nicely by spectacularly insulting our guest.

You can follow Clara on the socials . Her excellent show, Shoot Your Shot, is on YouTube, and her book Gin and Phonics is out now.

Prom time!!!! Big love to all the parents heading into prom season!! Back in my day in country Australia we had Debutant Balls!! Oh my, we had to wear white dresses and be presented to the local catholic priest and paraded in front of a room full of drunk parents! Then do the “Pride of Erin” waltz. IT WAS A BIG FU***NG DEAL!!! You spent weeks preparing and doing dance classes and the whole thing was very weird. This is my actual dress, 30 years later, which my kids found a few years ago at my parent’s house. At the time, I got told off by the nun for it being “cream” and not white!! Will try to find some more pics! Ohh my the flowers, the hairspray, the drama!! My daughter’s prom is a big deal, but with more nail bars and make up trials and less religious nonsense and corsages. Xx Lots of love x Helen

BIRTHDAY PIZZA! Did you know our sons were born 11 days apart, with the help of the same midwife? That was back before we'd ever met. And now here we are, 14 years later, celebrating with the best pizza in town . (Highly recommend their granita margarita in this heat.) Love that they're best buds, and that now and again we get a night where there's no show to perform, no podcast to record - just food, wine, lovely people, and lots of laughs. Happy birthday lads ###

313: Ellie’s Dad - life lessons, a quiz, and some “jokes”

What are the lyrics to Happy Birthday? What is the correct term for male swimwear? Who is Jennifer Lopez? Ellie’s Dad knows the answer to none of these questions, and we are here to mock him for it.

Yes, it’s a Father’s Day Special as Jim returns to the podcast. We discuss Crystal Palace’s FA cup win, aka the best day of his life. He shares the number one nugget of wisdom he’s learned after 78 years on the planet, and Ellie comes up with a new plan to monetise him in his old age. There are some quiz questions, and Confessions involving a Turkish airport, two clothes steamers, and the Virgin Mary. Listen right to the end for a classic Dad joke.

Trigger warning: this episode includes several instances of Jim singing, plus an impression of Joe McElderry by Ellie. If you have been affected by any of the singing on this podcast, we can only apologise.

Ellie’s Dad isn’t on social media. But you can follow him around at our gigs.

WE ARE ON OUR!
