well this is an exciting uh exciting morning it is an exciting morning very exciting we've been out and uh on my back diane's been given the all clear to drive this car diane's now insured on this kia so she can now take bowden out rather than trying to fit bowden in the mini which I don't think any of us thought it would be a good idea.
I think every single person in my comments on my YouTube were like, please don't take that in the mini.I was like, don't worry, I wasn't going to anyway, but...
We're back in the EV3.
I feel like I'm going to love it.
Right, let's switch places.And you've got precious cargo.Hello.Are you excited for mommy to drive?Give me a sign.Okay.
Oh my God.I feel like I'm...You're on your driving test.
I know.How do I...Adjust the seats.
Right, on your right hand side.
Yeah.
There's buttons.
Do I need to be elevated?
Which means, if you want, you can lift it up.
Oh, shut up.
My Mini, I feel like I'm literally on the road.But yeah, I'm on the road in my Mini, but my head touches the roof.
Yeah, a bit more space here.
Doing the funny thing it's doing.
When that car's no longer a threat.No longer a threat.That one's having a rave back there.You're doing it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.It's such a nice car to drive.

I feel like a proper mum.Like, this is the first time I've felt like...
Not when he was born or anything like that, or when you've breastfed for the first time.No, no.But when you drive him around, now you feel like a mum.
I do.I feel like a proper school mum.Like, I could drop the kids off in school in this.And I don't mean my shits.
Speaking of shits, we need to get rid of that.That was Mark this morning.
Just appears on our cars.Why does he do that?
My driving lessons have gone so well, we've picked up some hitchhikers and ended up at the garden center.Now I'm after lavender for the garden and a gnome with a wheelbarrow.
Well, there's a gnome with a wheelbarrow.
Tortoise.What do you reckon?We were discussing about like family pets when he's older and we both kind of agreed that we think we're more suited to the idea of having like a tortoise that lives in our garden than the idea of a dog or a cat or anything like that.I've not done much research into it so if you know, one, is it allowed nowadays?Because the idea would be to have them living in a little like vegetable patch slash allotment.Two, Is there like a, is there like a rescue place for tortoises?
Because obviously we know they live for a long time.So, um, we'd want one that's already quite old, but just needs a new home, perhaps like a rehomed tortoise.Uh, so if you know anybody that knows someone that knows someone that knows about tortoises, let me know.Right, I found the lavender, but this is going to be too small for what I want.It's definitely that type as well, but also, oh, curry plant.This is a big moment here in the Malki Championships.
Mark to win, two points to go.Can he get it?No!He's hit a single number, which I think...No, four.Hit one on its own.
Four.That could be Mark's game gone.It's your first time at playing Malky, so that's a very good effort.
Over to the fat lady, Xin.
Four.
Well, we have our winner, even though she wasn't really playing.
I wasn't even playing.Joe was playing for me, because I was feeding Bowden.And you made me win, so thanks.
I said, you need nine to win.What do you want to go for?Nine.
And boom.

Get started freeBut Mark is furious.that he didn't win, like he's still trying to get his two.Oh!Close, Mark.Try again.Third time, third time lucky.
Try and get it from there.Maybe Malky's not your game, eh?
He's going to go home and make some now.
He's going to go for the no looker.Always going for the sideways.
It's going to be midnight tonight and he's still out here trying to get it.
It never works out.
Oh!
If you could have done that three rounds ago, that would have been great.You would have won.Well.Malky has been rained off.We've actually got rain coming down.And I know that it hasn't rained for a long time because the smell right now, I don't know what it is.
It's got a name, but I can't remember what it's called, but there's a certain smell.I don't know if you get it in other countries.I think you do, where it's been dry for so long and then it rains and there's just some sort of smell.It must be from, I don't know, the dust, the grease, whatever it is on the floor, all kicks up into the air, a mix of rain.And it's definitely up there in my top five favorite smells.It's lovely.
I'm actually down here in my overalls now because I've started just trying to tidy up.I think when we're playing Malky, maybe you realise how like messy the garden is.When we get rain, when we get wind, which we had the other day, bits of this tree just fall off and go absolutely everywhere.Oh, I mean, it probably doesn't look any different, but that is so satisfying to rake that up into one big pile.It's actually so easy to clean, which makes me slightly worried because I really don't like AstroTurf.in gardens.
I want to get rid of this as soon as possible.But in saying that, it is easy to clean and this tree isn't always going to make mess down here, but what other alternatives do I have?If you know of anything,that's as easy to clean as this, let me know.Also, I'm just doing this for future reference, because when we moved in, I'm sure there wasn't a slope here, right?I have a bit of a worry, because ever since we had that sinkhole in the garden, and also, fun fact, there's also a sinkhole on our road as well, a bit further down the road, and I think it's made me a little bit paranoid.
that my whole house is going to fall into a giant sinkhole one day because i now i'm constantly looking out for like movement in the ground and um i see a certain crack in this like in this in this kind of stuff here i'll see like a crack and i'm like hang on a minute but even this look in there i'm like that's moved things have moved and i do understand like like newish builds they're gonna move and move the earth and things like that and a lot of stuff you're building out of is live material so um i knew there's gonna be a little bit of movement but i've just recently like i'm noticing more and more movement in things and things moving and stuff.And it does make me, I think it's just me panicking and being paranoid, but I'm slightly worried.Hopefully not.Hey, positive thinking, Joe.It's not going to happen.Get in there.
These bags, raking up and filling these bags in the rain, especially with the smell of these gloves, which were the exact same gloves that I used to wear when I was roof thatching.But there's something about, there's something about, I just had a moment then, there's something about raking up in the rain.with nothing but the sound of the rain and the rake brought back memories of my Thatcher days.I think that's why I find rain very, very peaceful.It actually gives me really, really fond memories of raking up in the rain, but making the site all tidy and making the customer's garden look nice and not covered in straw.So I just thought I'd document that.
in my vlog.Well good morning and hello to another day.We've arrived at Lennardsley Lakes and Gardens and that is new and that looks really fun.Last time I came here was with Diane in Chippy the camper van to film a Buzz wellness video.down the lakes at the bottom of Lennarsey Gardens.What a throwback that was.
Style today.
Look at you matching with mummy.
I know.
I think I'm going to be a bit sickening doing that all the time.
Cool, isn't it?Same body as mine.What a result.Under twos go free.
I know.
I can't believe they believed you were two, Mark.
Two free tickets.He's got his overalls on.
He's got his nappy on.
Yeah, on the outside.
It's also that time of year for the rhododendrons.I think.I think they are.I don't know.Yeah, there's wallabies here.This is the main reason why I wanted to bring Mark and Rina here is because they actually have wallabies here to make them feel at home.
I don't know.I'd say an azalea.
That looks like a ship in Hawaii.
That's like a screensaver.You know, there's like 4K videos to show how good a TV is and their brightness and colours.I think it's one of those.It doesn't feel real, does it?
No, I feel like I'm in...A secret garden.The dinosaur movie, Land Before Time.
Yeah, a little bit like that.Just without the dinosaurs.How do you get up there then?There you go.Aww.if it rains you can collect and drink from it.
It's what Bear Grylls would do.It feels like an adventure playground for adults with the rocks and the beautiful plants.This is the kind of thinglike as an adult, isn't it?Whoa.Is there fish in there?
We've got our baby here, but they've got their babies there.Look at this.I would say that's baby geese.Yeah.Otherwise, why are they there protecting it?Go down there and find out.
If they start attacking you, if they start attacking you, then you know it's their babies.How cute is that?It's also like they're blocking the path.They're like, yeah, don't even dare try and cross this bridge.
Look at all those chickens.Oh, are you waking up?
Are you waking up?Wake up, look.Gunnera Island.But it is just the loveliest little spot.The duck's coming to say hello, look.Oh my god, there's a giant carp down there.

Get started freeI don't want to get too close, but oh look, are you coming to say hello to my son?Look at the size of this one down here.See, they always say, check the margins.All the big ones are always lurking in the margins, look.Oh my god, they're gonna fight.Oh, what is this?
They're all friends.Like an episode of Farthing Wood.I feel like he's about to jump out of the lake.It's evolution happening in real time.That is a big goldfish.Mate, you're missing out on so much.
You need to wake up.We've stopped at the Engine House Cafe for coffee and a little bite to eat.And surrounded by ducks everywhere.They must know that obviously food's here.Tell you what, Mark, I think he's gonna try and get inside your satchel in a minute.
Look, they couldn't be more close.
What is it with you and attracting ducks?First on the canal boat.now here i've never heard a peak a peacock i never heard a pheasant make that noise before sounds like bowden go on joey super dad of the year
Keep it all in there, by the way, guys.He's all right.He's loving life.You're literally on the angle, Joe.I mean, we all are, to be fair.Good workout, isn't it?
Look at those little carts.
Here we go.
Oh, it's got one in his pouch.
Look.Oh my word, look.I was like, what the hell?It's like falling apart, but no.
That's...
It's got his what?
Intestines falling out.
Intentions.
Intentions falling out.
Your intentions are falling out.Oh, oh, there's an ear, I think.I think that's an ear.It is.Yeah, he's definitely, he needs to move out, surely.That's a teenager inside there.
That's the end of our trip to Lendersley Gardens.And yeah, very much recommend this place.Bowden loved it, even though he's fast asleep still.He did love it.He'll be back until he's three.It's free for people under two years old.
Yeah, and shout out to Dave who works here.

It was great, wasn't it?Full of facts and everything, yeah.That dog's very well behaved.I'll tell you what, it's not over yet.Look at the size of this place.I get so excited by all the make your own cardboard bugs, telescopic net, even this little thing here, look.
Which I'm assuming is to put your bugs in, or butterflies that you've caught.Insects observational box.
I'm from Leonard's League Gardens.
my own.A vast contrast to what we saw today, but hey, the sun's still shining.I've got a vest on, which no, things are about to go down if I've got a vest on.So I want to show you the update from what I started yesterday on this glorious bank holiday weekend.But first things first, I'm going to water you.We'll even say in the comments, I am going to chop all this off.
Get rid of this.I don't want that growth down there.And if I could put this in the ground, I would.But unfortunately, as you can see, I can't.I do think it would've been a lot better to probably remove those flagstones and actually bury it in the ground.
But it's too late for that, all right?I can't.It's too late.
But here we go.Completely clean space.It looks so much neater.I'm very happy with the neatness of how that turned out.I popped a chair here because I was also thinking what we could do so everyone's happy in the family here along here keep that as the astroturf so bowden can play on the trampoline when he's older but here along this way change this into i don't know some sort of other material and build some sort of lovely seating area here because as you can see this gets the evening sun could be a lovely little in amongst nature things growing down here sat here watching the sunset um keeping one eye on bowden one eye in a book i have also cleaned out all this space too.This actually looked horrendous.
I still need to get the last bits of it up, but all this was all over there and it looks so messy.As I've mentioned so many times on this vlog channel, you're probably so bored of hearing this from me, but this is going to be, hopefully, our little vegetable patch.I keep saying allotment.It's definitely not big enough to be an allotment, but it's going to be a nice little vegetable patch for us and the family so we can grow our own fruit.Well, mainly vegetables.We're going to have a little lean -to coming off here.
Vegetable patch, vegetable patch, vegetable patch.Maybe something growing up here, getting that evening sun.I don't know, something we can pick figs, perhaps?I don't know.And a doorway to go in to the little potting greenhouse here.And just change this and completely transform this into a vegetable patch.
probably remove these as well and just continue along have a little bench there somewhere we can sit and enjoy the fruits of our labour I did last year I think it was last year I did get a garden design company to show me what it could look like transformed we got the whole garden done but obviously with baby boy on the way we didn't have time to execute it and get it done there and then and if I can find the pictures I'll put them in the vlog now so you can see how they sort of envisioned it looking and I'm not sure that's the uh the version we'll be going with because we do want to try and fit cram as much as we can in that space and but make it also very practical so I like the idea of having a very very small place for compost which isn't in that design basically we can just chuck all like the trimmings and things that I've like collected today and plonk it in there as our own little mini compost.And then hopefully, ideally, I would love to get that done this summer.Dinner is served.Oh, my goodness.
Gone for yak rack, Joey.
Oh, we've gone for...This is a...
But I've changed up the order.
Yeah, you have.This is a local restaurant that we order from and it's so good.And Reena's made a salad I can spot.I've not been on these fart walks for a while.Mark really let's rip on it.Do you know what I've been doing, though?
Whilst I've been going for fart walks, I've been having ice cream.I go straight to the freezer and have an ice cream.And we run out.
Dad's never going on a car walk again.He's going to stay home with you.

This is what happens.He shows off and the next day he goes, oh, I hurt my leg a bit.And then we have to stop all things and go to a bloody Cairo.
Is that your arse?
That one.Caramel, yes.
I knew you'd say that.Good morning, everybody.And my pigeon's poos are getting bigger.
Good morning, mama.
What are you doing?
Nothing, I just, I always prepare.Do you know what I do?I prepare these bags once I get in, so that whenever we go out, I know that I've got everything.
We've got a real, that's good, that's a very good shout.We've got a real action station on the go.
So I prepare, and there's two of them.This one's for like, smaller outings, and that one's for bigger outings.Oh my word.Yeah, so I'm a very organized mum.
You are, very organized mum.Speaking of which, where's our child?Follow the noises of Nanny, and you will find the child.Are you sure our son's down there?It looks like she's talking to herself.Can't see no baby.
Oh no, there he is.He is there.Okay, update me on the bread situation.Oh my word.Oh, that is solid.
But, Phil.smell.
Ew, it smells like a pub.It smells like a brewery, and not a nice one.

Because I'm now into sourdough making, which means these bad boys.and my new babies.
I thought that was overnight oats.
No, do not eat this.
I ate half of it this morning.I thought it was overnight oats.
You know how you smelt me yesterday?
Yeah.
And you just went, ugh, you stink.I think it's because I was next to this.
Probably.
It's not yet perfect.
Hang on a minute.Was that meant to happen?I just want to buy Sean now.It's the health visit worker.She's just on her way.
Oh, yeah.Yeah, we've got a health visit coming today.
I've come down this morning to find this, which looks like Oh, this is another sourdough loaf.
Yeah, we're doing another one.
Oh my God.So just think, once you've made one, you can just make unlimited.
Just unlimited sourdough.

Get started freeSo it's like a limited bread cheat code.
Yeah.So from now on, instead of me buying the sourdough, you just pay me £60.
Yeah, all right.A subscription to my own partner's sourdough.So you have a starter, and then you just keep adding water to it, and then just keep making bread.
No.just water, you have that starter and you've got to follow this process.So you activate the sour starter.We've done that.Maintaining the starter.
I can tell this is definitely a mother -daughter activity because there's no way on God's green earth you would sit there and read all that and follow those instructions.
No, that gives me actual brain ache.But now that I know, all I need to do is look at 200, 300, 500, 10 gram.
I'll get you a highlighter for your birthday if you can highlight them.
That would be great.
Speaking of birthday, I think this might be for a little birthday surprise.
Who do you think has gotten all that organised?
Not you, because that is way too neat.Reena has got all this organised because we're going to make...I say we, I'm going to help make Diane's birthday cake for tomorrow.But she doesn't know about that yet.You did know, didn't you?That's what it's for.
Yeah, good for you.We had a little look through here.The Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book, collected edition.A lot of you will recognise the cakes from this book.If you're a millennial child, you will know all of these.Maybe not so much this one, unless you're from Australia.
But look, I want to go for that one, but Dan doesn't like cricket, and her name's not Dennis, so we didn't go for that one.That one.Swimming pool with green jelly.And everyone knows, your pool goes green, it means somebody's weeding it.So I don't know which one of you's weeding this pool.But that's a wee pool right there.
I bought some Robin blend the other day, wild bird food.Because the Robin is actually probably turned up more than pigeons nowadays.Oh yeah, also we have one magpie that keeps turning up.No, well, not if you're into...Yeah.Which actually, I do remember us going on a walk to that golf course that time.
we saw four magpies in a row and I told you this is before we knew that Balin was a boy and with that week before we found out in the background week before we found out we saw four magpies so maybe it's true there we go right on cue is uh check out Wurunder yeah oh my god you look so much different to the last time you saw her Be a good little boy.Well, you have been a good little boy and hey, check you out, mister.All is looking good.
You're growing so well.You're growing into a little big boy.
Although everything's going well for him, things aren't going well for me. I'm off to go and have my neck clipped into place, which I'll explain more about when I'm on my way.I don't think so.I'll ask.If you're a long -term watcher of the vlogs, you'll know I've had this ongoing issue with my neck.um and i can't remember what it was i think actually from the early days of having baldon and constantly like holding him and leaning over to look at him doing that motion uh my neck did its thing and before we went on that road trip my neck went and i was like do you know what i can't i don't want to be that dad that cannot move about and you know chase my son that sounds weird but like i said like play with play play games with my son and do sports with my son and things like that.I was like, I don't want to be that dad that can't do that because, oh, my neck might go.
So I decided to just get it done and get it sorted.I booked myself into this place.I've been to loads of different places to get my neck sorted.It's been gone for years and years and years.I thought, right, I'll go to this place because it says it can do like x -rays, like same -day x -rays.So I went there thinking that they might just say, look, what everyone else has said, which is just do these exercises and it should be fine.
"I'd definitely pay more for this as your audio transcription is miles ahead of the rest."

Get started freeit.But straight away, this guy was like, no, we're going to x -ray it.So x -rayed it and turns out my neck is actually better.not good.My neck needs a lot of work doing to it.It's compressed on one side, there's gaps in my neck bones and things like that.
And also he's saying that the certain vertebrae are linked to certain other parts of your body as well.So I'm doing this thing now where I go twice a week.It's actually helping a lot, but I'll show, if I can find it, I'll show the x -ray of my neck and you can see for yourself.That's not a normal looking neck.I showed the guy, he said, has there ever been any sort of like trauma to your neck in the past.And it could be, and you're saying like, it could be years and years and years and years ago, and just never healed properly.
And I was like, actually, there was this one time where, and it's always really embarrassing when I have to tell people this, like, there's one time where I turned my roommate's flat into a giant slip and slide.And I've actually got the video of me headbutting the floor, which gave me, I think, whiplash.So I really felt it in my neck there from that point.So I showed him the video and he's like, yep, that'll be it.I looked the other day, that video is nine years old.Nine years ago, I did that.
And obviously, I didn't look after my neck enough around that time.I did get it seen to afterwards and it got it sort of clicked into place and stuff.But I had whiplash back then.I just hadn't treated it properly all those years ago.So I'm paying for it now.I hope by the end of that, I should have a normal shaped neck.
It's meant to curve like this.Instead, mine starts to curve and then go straight, which is not good and not normal.So... yeah that's where i've been i've been clicked back into place and when you do have your neck clicked because it's close to your ear ears you hear it it's really loud it makes me think of like in the movies when they people will and click people's necks and they they die just drop dead i always get worried that's gonna happen to me but apparentlyit's just in the movies.It's just movie magic.It's not real.
You can't actually get killed by having your neck wrung unless you're a chicken.But to be honest, I have got a neck like a chicken.Anyway, let's go home, have some lunch, and then probably make Diane's birthday cake.
All the little recipe books out in the pan with Jo and Reena.
Hasn't quite got the same ring to it.Huh?Doesn't have the same ring to it.What do you mean?Did you just fart and smell it?It's a little wobbly.
Stay out of our kitchen.We're trying to cook.You can't be doing that round here.That's fair, it's your cake, you can do it if you want.Right, in the pan with Jo and Reena.What have we got?
If you couldn't guess what sort of cake we're making, we're making a carrot cake with real carrots.Oh no, where's my Starbaker apron?Have you got the in the pan one on?You've got the in the pan apron.Where's the Starbaker one?I'm a Starbaker.
Ah, yes.Unless this is Diane.No, she's got Masterchef.This, did you get a star baker?Yeah.Let's bring back some memories.
So take me through what we're doing here.That's nutmeg.
So in here, no, in here I've got plain flour, baking powder, bicarb, ginger, salt, and cinnamon.
Okay, perfect.
So I've sifted that twice.So in here, I am going to beat sugar.It's supposed to be a cup of sugar, but I only used...
That's demerara sugar it was called, is it?
No, it's light brown sugar.but I only use, I always use less sugar than what they say.
Are you sure it's sugar and not sand?

Yeah definitely wouldn't get it from Brighton beach, it'd be one big pebble.
You know it's the worst thing to do I reckon, it's the one thing that I hate doing.
Cracking the eggs?
Yeah always seem to I think you can be a lot rougher with eggs than you actually are.
If you're not confident, it will punish you for it.You've got to be confident cracking an egg.It's one thing I've learned.
But did you know if you get shell in the egg?
You shells get it out.Yes.
Shell attraction.
I'm a star baker.I know these things.Uh -oh.What's happened?We've already had our first in the pan with Joe and Rina disaster.Oil on the floor.
I need to clean up, Matt.
Whatever you do, don't slip up.I'm just like pretending to whisk.And rather than making me do it, you summoned Mark to come and tidy up for us.Poor Mark.Say you're not doing it.Say you're not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
You all right down there, Mark?
I'm all right.I feel sorry for you.I'm all wet on my hands and knees.
Look at that.Stiff peaks.Is that what they say?Stiff peaks.
Yeah.200 grams of carrot.So you've just got to kind of bulb that through.We don't want to be too vigorous.
Brilliant.That's a lot of carrot.

Is that the right amount of carrot?
Yeah.
It doesn't look very appetising now, but I'm guessing that will change once it's out of the oven.Don't know how this has happened, but everyone's left me.They've left me.They've all gone.Diane's gone to get her eyebrows done and Mark and Marina have gone with Bowden as well.So I'm home alone.
and the timer's gone off on the sponge, on the cake.They did leave instructions on what to do, on how to check it, and I'm sure I'll get this right.I did say, Reena, if anything goes wrong, I'll call you, but our phone's there.So that's handy.
Thanks, Reena.
I'm gonna take this out and check it.I mean, it looks good.That looks all right, doesn't it?But we also don't have any of the baking tools, I've realised.We haven't got a good spatula.We haven't got the poking, prodding sticks to check if something's ready or not.
We haven't got an actual proper resting tray either.We've had to use this, which is just two, I think, bits of the oven.A little bit unprepared, so I need to get some more baking bits.So apparently, get a knife.They did say actually test with your finger, but that's got a spring to it.You get a knife, put it through.
If it comes out clean, then that's pretty good.Right, I've committed.I've taken, I've turned the oven off.I think I've got to take this out of the tray to then put on there.But I kind of don't want to do anything until Reena's given me the all clear.I think it's good.
Looks good, I think.That's not entirely convincing, Diane.Please ask your mum.Okay, it is much later on in the day now, as you can see from outside.But, cake update.We have a cake update.
I'm scared to lift it up in case.That's what I'm going to show you, because I don't want to ruin it.So I'm going to leave it like that.Reena finished off the cake, because I had to go out.Actually no, because my friend Asa came over, who...also having a little boy at some point incredibly soon so a little playmate for Bowden is due to arrive any day now so he came around to meet Bowden for the first time and got chatting and then I had to go out and get a few of the little extra bits and by the time I came back had a meeting and after that everything's sort of done and ready now so Anything that's not ready, I've had to wait for Diane to go to bed before I can do this.
Just to decorate this area for breakfast tomorrow.So far, the tester went well, and I just had a little moment of thinking, God of the days, like, not even 10 years ago, actually probably 10 years ago, I used to stay up all night blowing up balloons to prank Casper.Fast forward 10 years, and I'm blowing up balloons for the mother of my child's birthday.Never in a million years thought I'd ever be saying that.But there we go.This is also a lot less stressful, a lot more enjoyable and a lot less work as well.
But the challenge is to know when to stop so it doesn't go boom and then Diane knows exactly what's going on.Look at that.That looks great.
Did you measure them?
Yeah, I did.I definitely didn't.I was just running out of this string because you can't buy this string on its own anymore.You have to buy it as part of a pack.I didn't want to buy like 15 packets of this and end up with like 3 million ribbons, so we made good with what we did, but then we switched to garden twine, like garden, what was it?Garden twine?
twine.The jute twine for gardening.Actually, I think I prefer that.It's got more of that sort of rustic vibe.
To mummy, happy birthday, love Bowden and daddy.
She's gonna love this.She's gonna absolutely love that.

Before I call it a night, we move on to Diane's birthday.We had a package arrive from MVE.which is me and Cass's management company.They've sent us a little package.Joe and Diane, congratulations on the arrival of baby Bowden from Team MVE.Oh my God, and this is so cute.
They've sent us some absolute drip.Look at that.It's so cool.I love that.Oh my God.I've never, you know me guys, I've never I find it hard.
I blame it on my body.I blame it on my body shape.
I can't be trendy.However, our son has got no excuse.Some of the clothes that they make for kids.Oh my God, look.A little fork.It's so cute.
Apparently I was chatting to the team today.Grow slowly.I was chatting to the team today and they said that they're all getting very excited in the office, like deciding and picking.the uh the outfits and the items for him that's cute as well oh my god look at those little trousers it's at the back that's the back that's the front a little pocket on the front oh oh we've got the classic milking it when it comes to baby clothes how do youlike, does anybody own the right to put in the word milking it on baby clothes?Or like grow slowly and like those kind of things?
That's a copywriter's job, right?Is that a thing in baby clothes?Copywriting?I don't know.Something I've always been, something I've always been in, something I've always been intrigued by.The idea of how do you get, how, because I've seen the milking it on quite a few different baby clothes.
Who owns that phrase?Has anybody gone, that's my phrase, if you want to use it on any baby clothes, You've got to pay me.And here we've got a little package made up.I say little, it's bloody massive.A little care package made up of all the baby crows and vests and things like that that Bowden's outgrown.And that is to go to a charity shop or somewhere where it can be passed on to other babies that are being born.
So there we go.
In with the new, out with the old.
