Carmen wants you to know she’s only had two hours of sleep, and Laura wants you to know she has a new tartan jacket that’s giving Ralph Lauren vibes and saved her 350 quid.

Together, they can’t wait for autumn - and for Carmen’s upcoming 40th birthday at the ‘Five Seasons’.

Plus, they discuss a woman who hasn’t smiled or frowned in 20 years, and Laura’s had a hilarious email from her son Alfred’s school about a popular book that’s made national news.

Uh-oh, Spaghettio.
