0:00Sophia Tuxford: So you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays? Why would I be? Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready. What if Mike brings his cheerful dogs? My tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is. But what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one? We'll see how extendable this extendable table really is. And extra chairs are on the way. Okay. What if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over? Ready to go with extra bedding and towels. From guest-ready essentials to holiday decor you can trust, Wayfair delivers. Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad.

0:32Sophia Tuxford: Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. like house flies fruit flies gnats and then with zivo bam next thing you know the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors the best part is the design is actually sleek and curved so it hides the bugs it catches keeping them out of sight and when the cartridge is full you just grab the no mess tab throw it in the trash pop in a new cartridge and then you're done no mess no stress so whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zivo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection.

1:37Sophia Tuxford: Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home. That's holidays only kind of boy. Eww. Like we hate that. Do you fancy your mates or some mates? Like who doesn't want to go on a vacation? Yeah, like do you want to suck their willy? like you know the drama it's never ending don't let it get the best of you it's wednesday we are whispering because we have a child my i birthed my birthing is birthed over the weekend it's weird because everyone keeps calling me a mom chintzy is officially a mommy you guys i had a baby oh my baby i don't have a baby chintzy had a baby she's actually really good with noise because because we've got a lot of building works going on and she slept, because we've had the door open and she slept right through.

5:31Sophia Tuxford: So that's actually a really good tip for dog owners in flats. Yeah. City Doggo. You get a grass patch for your balcony. so the dog has the grass. She's got one here and one at the flat. And then when you're feeling a bit claustrophobic you can just go and touch the grass and it's like I know I can when I need to put my bare feet on grass which is needed sometimes.

15:54just before we get into it quick disclaimer just as we are not doctors we are not professionals we do not actually know what we are talking about light-hearted space okay don't take what we say

16:04Sophia Tuxford: literally because we could be wrong yeah and if there's anything serious if there's anything you feel like you're seriously struggling with, please contact a GP, a professional, because that is not us. We're just girls, girls and boys just like you, you know? We're just trying to get through life as well. Not professionals. Enjoy the episode. Enjoy. Okay, right, let's dive into some dilemmas here. It is boy talk. We've got a bit of extra wisdom from Blueberry and let's start the show. Okay, we're going to ease ourselves in this week and quite simply we've got here zero butterflies zero fanny flutters help i fear this is bad it's not looking good off the bat but don't they say that you don't actually want to be chasing butterflies we have to discuss this yeah that could maybe you know you want someone who feels safe but yeah but then butterflies always come in the beginning yeah because you're nervous yeah but no fanny flutters you shouldn't have butterflies like you know all the time or after it's been going a while right that's like a bad sign oh is it because it means you're on edge right okay hi ladies new listener here welcome in sarah thank you we're happy to have you but it's become a ritual to listen to the pod on my daily walks i love that love that sarah thank you for being here i have to fight back back the giggles she's saying shut up sarah thank you sarah bit of a backstory in 2021 me and my ex broke up to keep the backstory short it was very toxic and we would constantly argue we were on and off for a while as I was stuck in that cycle I thought we would be on track to getting back together then it would get called off and one of us would message and start things up again okay so yeah very on and off after a year and a half of being on and off he admitted that he was just stringing me along and never wanted to get back with me shut up did they do that then how mean is that so.

17:59Sophia Tuxford: This broke me as I realized I just wasted a year and a half of trying to get back with him when he was just playing me along. This was November 2023 and I haven't spoken to or seen him since. Now my dilemma is that I'm finding it so difficult to feel anything for anyone else since my ex. I've gotten a few first dates but it never really went any further as I really don't think I ever truly felt anything for these boys. No butterflies, no fanny flutters, nothing. This annoyed me as they were lovely boys who had qualities that I would look for in a future partner, but I was just feeling nothing.

18:38Sophia Tuxford: I have been chatting with one of my best friend's partner's friends recently, and we've hung out a few times. I've enjoyed hanging out with him as I already know him quite well, so I don't have those like, you know, sickening nerves, but I'm really struggling to distinguish if I like him in that way. Do you want to snog him Sarah or not? That's your question. Do you want to suck his willy or what? Well you're a mom you can't say stuff like that now. I've spoken to some of my friends about this and they think because I was so hurt from my ex that maybe I've put up a wall and I'm subconsciously protecting myself.

19:12I also think that was a lot on you like a lot on your brain like that whole year and a half of limbo really is really not good like they're hoping for someone

19:22Sophia Tuxford: else and then getting let down yeah my friends are all in such healthy relationships and seeing how much they love each other almost makes me jealous as I'm starting to think that feeling is so out of reach for me it's not I don't want to be single forever but why aren't I feeling anything for anyone any advice would be helpful as I'm starting to lose hope that I'll ever be able to feel love again have I turned into a heartless girl who's going to be single forever or do I just keep dating hoping to feel the spark with someone soon? Please help girls. You will. I think it's a sign that this friend of a friend is just not, you're not attracted to him.

19:53Friend of a Frenchman,

19:54Sophia Tuxford: let's leave him as a friend. You're just chatting to him and just because he's there. For the sake of it. and you're thinking like, oh, could I kiss him? Like, should I kiss him? And like, you're like, no, I don't really. Maybe it won't be that bad. Yeah, you probably could and you probably could. Yeah. You're like, oh, was that like, did that rock my world? Like, And I also think, Sarah, like the reality is you're going to go on way more bad dates than you are good dates. Like, because the good dates often lead to more. I feel like we always say that, but it's true. And like, yeah, sometimes it can be a bit demoralizing when it's like, oh, shit date, shit date, shit date.

20:29Sophia Tuxford: Like, don't really fancy you. Not really feeling that. Don't really fancy you. But that doesn't mean that you're never going to fancy anyone ever again. I think maybe you're just in that cycle of like, yeah, like, oh, that was a bit of a shit date. like I kind of got all dressed up wasn't really feeling it like tried to kind of fancy him didn't really feel much like I think don't overthink it when you meet someone that you like and you have that chemistry and like chemistry something that you it's not a tangible thing right and sometimes you just have chemistry with someone and you don't really know why and I feel like that's gonna you're gonna meet someone and be like oh my god wait I'm gonna really fancy you like oh my god okay does my look okay like how do I look like and you're gonna feel that like feeling and you're gonna be like oh my god like i forgot that it could feel like this i think you've probably just had unfortunately a string of bad dates with people that you don't really fancy that much you've not really felt like that spark and it's kind of left you feeling a bit like oh shit maybe i'm never gonna feel like you had such an incredible connection with your ex right and you had a great time or whatever so imagine toxic right and he was awful and we don't want to be with him so imagine the connection you're going to have with someone who you're actually meant to be a nice person who's going to actually want to be with you yeah and you know there's the he will be out there because if the universe has allowed you to connect with that person there's going to be someone that out there who is for you lovely and they say you're already got all that love to give so there will be somewhere out there to receive to receive it girls love it don't give up girls no seriously you're going to be fine yeah i think maybe you just had a bit of a slump yeah and like maybe take a break like maybe like sack off a few dates like if you don't really want to like maybe have a bit of a break and then go into it fresh like end of the year like you will meet people who you have a connection with but don't force it you're not going to have chemistry with everyone you're not going to fancy everyone you're not going to hit it off with everyone like there's going to be way more bad dates and there are good days so don't let it put you off friend of a friend no I mean having to question if you fancy him or if you like him like him there's your answer you're just trying to force yourself because he's there and it's convenient and he's nice and it's a friend of a friend and oh we could hang out as a four and like yeah right let's go to prison let's go to jail guys okay we've had a lesbian awakening i love lesbian awakenings too let's get it go because I'm just like absolutely so Sarah here says has Brian going to jail made me a lesbian wow everything happens for a reason so are you asking whether if he was still here you wouldn't have had the curiosity still here like he's dead he's not dead someone in your prison conjugal visits and you thought wow a fellow a fellow woman a fellow woman yeah also you know deprived of love an affection right now because their partner's in jail.

23:25I'm thinking she's had so much time away from a willy and a man and she's been trying so hard to not think about men other men that a woman's voluptuous breath and curves and physique yes it's just brought it it's just awoken you hey girls I'm a new listener to the pod and listening to the last couple of episodes hello Sarah welcome has urged me to write in I have a major dilemma I need help with. I'm a 30 year old girlie from England. I have only recently broken up with my ex Brian. We were together for five years. So you're not with the man in jail anymore. That's good. That's good. I support that.

24:03Sophia Tuxford: That was maybe a good choice. Yeah I couldn't ask for anything more from the relationship. For the first few years he was the best boyfriend ever. He took care of me very well, took me on nice places to nice dates and our lives matched up perfectly. Oh, he sounds like a nice guy. He did. As time went on, I started to realize that things didn't always align or make sense. We planned our future together and we were engaged for two years. But one day... What? No, this is actually a worse nightmare. One day I got a call to say that Brian had been arrested. My life was flipped upside down. Even though he hasn't physically hurt anyone, I was lied to and blindsided, which has hurt me emotionally.

24:46of course what did he do what did he do sarah babes fraud drugs money laundering money laundering heroin sales you know we're not sure yet how long brian is going to spend away he's still away he's locked on the inside so it's now been a year since brian has been in prison

25:06Sophia Tuxford: i've recently been having mixed feelings so did you break up as he was going to jail it sounds like it because it was like I didn't know any of this was going on yeah how could you do this to me I'm not gonna wait for you yeah you're a liar but she's been sitting in those feelings so a month ago I called the relationship off oh so you were with him to for close to a year I'm still in contact with him because I want to be there for him as a support system as he was a big part of my life and obviously now he's in jail however Brian wants me back and wants to fight for the relationship. I'm sure he does.

25:43Sophia Tuxford: Yeah, sure. But here's the curve ball. Just for reference, I have questioned my sexuality before and recently I have met this Sarah on social media, but we have never met in person. And she currently lives on the other side of the world. You're going there. You're going. Let's book a flight. I think you're going to Australia to meet Sarah. We've been speaking for a few weeks now and to put it this way, there's a lot of sexual chemistry. Sarah is so beautiful and I can't stop thinking about her. I have booked flights to go and see Sarah in the next two months. Although when we first started speaking, we said this could just be a bit of fun.

26:23Sometimes when we're speaking now, I say I miss you and get jealous of the thought of her being with anyone else. This is beautiful. You're in love, Sarah. This is great. This is amazing. This is great. I'm starting to think we might be catching real feelings. So am I. I'm freaking out because we was on the phone today and she mentioned reducing contact with each other oh because she's worried about my situation with my Brian with my ex naturally naturally yeah you know you know if you're talking to anyone new and they say yeah I still chat to my ex yeah he's in prison yeah he yeah I broke up with him because he got arrested yeah she's maybe thinking oh what if he comes out in a year you're gonna want to go back to him also you're still in contact with him.

27:06Do you still have feelings? Yes. To be fair to Sarah. Am I just like a bit of a rebound? Yeah. Am I just like the gap filler? Yeah, there's going to be a lot of questions for her. There is. I've never been in a relationship with a woman, so I'm not 100 % sure how it's going to go, but I do really like her. I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. So I guess my question is, what the hell do I do now? P.S. I've attached some pictures of me and Brian. Here's one of me and Brian and one of Sarah. Ka-ching! Oh! let me see alright we've got the convict here wow Sarah and Brian Sarah you look absolutely gorgeous yeah incredible you do look good with Brian

27:45Sophia Tuxford: but we're gonna move on from that yeah we're gonna forget about that it's not meant to be yeah I'm proud of you for being there for him but me too you're a ride or die you know we deserve better than that oh yeah I can see it here's Sarah who we're chatting to oh yeah I can see it she's got an aura oh yeah Sarah's got sexy i can feel it through the screen no she's actually yeah i can feel it she's beautiful oh this is gonna be so much fun she's actually got such an aura yeah she has she's stunning she's giving like yeah she's gonna show you a good time i just i just know i know i just know it right okay so you're thinking you're kind of catching feelings for sarah how to navigate this i'm still chatting to my ex sarah's now got concerns about i've got an ex yeah well sarah's a smart woman she's not gonna take no shit yeah and she's also just making sure she probably clocked herself and thought shit yeah i'm getting feelings wait this girl's still chatting to her ex who's in prison you know does she you know is this a messy situation should i stay clear all before you've even met yeah so go and meet her first also just reassure her i guess she's booked that's over yeah exactly it's happening yeah so just go meet her have some fun right yeah go let loose let At least.

28:57Enjoy Sarah, Sarah, one on time. Sarah on Sarah time. Yeah. And then as the relationship starts to, you know, develop and become more serious. If it does. If it does, it may not. You may get there and go, oh, not for me. Yeah, I'm not feeling the chemistry. You know, so then there would have been no point in us even worrying about all this stuff to begin with. So true. Well, we've never even met her. You know what I mean? So true. So just take it one step at a time. Trip first. Have some fun. Have some fun in the sun with Sarah. Trip first, think later, hey. Absolutely, Sarah. Hot girl summer after all.

29:25And then I feel like naturally, like you're going to talk about things. You know, she's going to try and trust you. Let's not overthink it before it's began.

29:34Sophia Tuxford: Like, yeah, you might meet her. It might really not be a vibe or you might feel like, oh, okay, yeah, that was fun. But like, I'm kind of over it now. Like, that's kind of it. Like, let's just take it like one step at a time. And all you can do is just be honest with her. Because this is very new for you. Just be honest with her and be like, look, I'm going to be honest. This is the whole situation. Lay it out exactly how you laid out for us, literally. I like you and she can either have faith in you and believe you or she won't and then she's not the right person for you if she's not going to support you through this too you know because you've been through a lot the past year and she's got to understand yeah I am there I mean do you even still want to be there for your ex you don't have to yeah you don't have to he's in jail don't feel like you have to still be there for him no and she might also be thinking oh well he wants you back while you're talking to him which I understand so maybe think oh actually yeah I don't need to chat to my ex like but maybe you do want to because you do have love for him I don't know but go and meet Sarah first girl go and have a good time jealous see what could happen I want to fly out I feel like you will just figure out what needs to be done like you're either gonna go to Sarah you're gonna have a great time you're gonna be like oh my fucking god okay well I guess I'm a lesbian now and you're just gonna have like the best time you're gonna stay in touch it's gonna develop it's gonna grow it's gonna blossom it's gonna fall in love and then like I don't I don't think you will feel any need whatsoever to keep in touch with your ex and I think you will be like do you know what if I am going to move forward with this the right thing to do is just to really close that door with my ex I think you've kind of left it open a little bit which I guess is hard because like you've not really got much closure because he's been in prison yeah and also you probably feel for him because he is in prison but it's like but I hate you because you liked me yeah I don't want to be I don't want my boyfriend to be in prison and you're kind of saying that you want me but like well yeah you want me because you're in prison like there's no one else around like you know are you just wanting me around to for company it will just develop and you will do what feels right you don't need to overthink it just yet because things could change so quickly good luck good luck sarah have fun

33:28Sophia Tuxford: Okay, Sarah needs some help. She's acted on impulse by the sounds of things. We've got, he was ignoring me, so I slept with his best friend. I mean, you gotta do what you're gonna do. Do what feels right, go with you, but. I'm in a big enough friendship group. Myself and one of the boys, Brian, were getting with each other for five months. We never went on a date or had any emotional conversations. It was just sex. But we were good friends too and would always be doing things, you know, as a group. After five months, we called it a day and we were never awkward with each other in the weeks following.

34:01Sophia Tuxford: And I thought this was really mature of us. That was until one night out, one of his best friends who was also a good friend of mine kissed me yeah and i kissed him back yeah you did it wasn't a full make out but we did kiss the friend told brian straight away for goodness sake however but also like we called it quits like yeah not doing anything wrong you know sue me what's the girl to do however i did not as i didn't think it was necessary of me to go up to him drunk and say it well yeah and also he's already been told yeah like we we're not sexually we're not getting involved sexually anymore with each other i don't need to tell you that yeah he was told the next day and he said he didn't care and that i could do whatever i wanted yeah well in that case well they're gorgeous sleep with him but this was not the case he forgave the friend who initiated the kiss but was being off with me wouldn't speak to me on nights out calling me the c-word to my other friends shut up everyone in the group was getting involved and feeling sorry for brian wait what do you mean the c-word that is awful i know what do you mean you've hit a nerve wait so he's now trying to turn everyone on you well you're thinking hang on he kissed me why are you all pally pally with him but you've got so much animosity towards me we were just sleeping together he never asked me on a date anyway we called it quits anyway it's like we dated what why am i now the bad person crossover yeah it's just that we all happen to be in this group or is that right okay okay so everyone in the group is kind of feeling sorry for brian and although it wasn't ideal we were never together and i think us getting with each other for so long people were under the impression that maybe it was more than what it was but like the reality are like we were both always still single yeah i did feel bad and tried my best to apologize and show how sorry i was by getting all his favorite snacks and making a care package Oh, Sarah.

35:55That's really lovely. You didn't even have to do that, Sarah.

35:58Sophia Tuxford: But still, he didn't want to speak to me and he was pissed off that I didn't tell him straight away. Right. He, however, has been talking to girls. He's gotten at least one date and is currently now seeing someone. Yeah, right, right. All of which he never told me. Yeah. On one particular night, he came into a small pub that he knew I was in. All the boys came up and spoke to me. He did not. Not only did he not speak to me, but he was acting like I didn't even exist. Sounds like he's in love with you, Sarah. He was in this pub with said friend that kissed me laughing and joking, but ignoring me.

36:29Sophia Tuxford: Oh, get a grip, Brian. He's ignoring you too, this new guy. No, he's laughing and joking with the boy that kissed her. Yeah. But he's ignoring you. Yeah, right. Not fair. But also like, why is he laughing and joking? Well, like, has he said hello too? Has the other Brian said hello? To her? Yeah. Or is he ignoring me too? I think so, yeah. Yeah. I saw red that night and chose violence. i thought what you said and choked him if he was going to act like i didn't exist then i'm gonna sleep with one of his best friends a different friend good bad i know but i was angry no i hear you this friend had tried to get with me previously but i said no this time i was like fuck it prime example that if he won't his friends will sarah there we go girl as brian you're doing amazing sweetie brian you you didn't want to take me on a date yeah we're just sleeping together now you're taking other girls on the date so it's like you didn't even want me anyway so like what's your problem i think brian's problem is that it's happening within the group with his friend i understand yeah but like you don't call me a sea world word sea world sea world you don't call me charmeau and get away no like you don't do that that's so nasty as brian use that word on special occasions i've never said it but he used it a couple times i don't really know if you yeah i can't my brain doesn't have to be like you know what he is like there's only a few people who i have called that hey but only internally not to their faces no oh my god no only behind their backs only between like a group of like three i will say oh my god yeah definitely a c as brian is still not talking to me i don't know if he knows i slept with this friend or not but everyone in the group both the girls and the boys are still being very distant with me which I understand but at the same time I should be able to do whatever I want I'm single in my 20s and it shouldn't be anyone's business what I do like they think you've betrayed their friend but then what yeah but then let's reprimand the other Brian but the point is like you can't be pissed off at me but not be pissed off with the boys exactly exactly the other same friendship we're all friends together like it's so not choice too if you're going to be pissed off that we're kind of cross-contaminating the group.

38:45Sophia Tuxford: Be pissed off with us both. You can't just be angry at me. Like he kissed me too. He had loyal teeth to Brian too. Just last paragraph, she said I did really like Brian, but I knew it wasn't going to amount to anything more than what it was. It was out of character for me. And now I feel like people will think a certain way about who I am as a person. No, who cares? Any advice on how to move forward with both Brian and the friendship group would be greatly appreciated. I think you're owning your actions. It is what it is. yeah you back yourself you back yeah i think just like stand by it go yeah and i was single he kissed me and what you know treat him the same guys like none of you were my real mate here if you're all acting like this calling me to see you and you know whatever calling me to see bomb um and also brian fuck you then whilst you're at it hope you're happy with your new girl fuck off yeah there's a bit of a double standard um but i think i would also lean into the girls of the group but it sounds like they're all just yeah I would just say like guys like can we chat like if these really are like because you don't want frosty nasty lifelong friends of yours I would like to think you could have like a good convo there and yeah maybe they might be like you know what I think you're kind of upsetting the group vibe like you're sleeping with this person this person like but like they should you should be able to have that conversation with them if they are actually your mates and they should be like look let's go out just the girls let's just forget about it like who cares let's leave the boys to it yeah possibly I mean was Brian kind of like a ringleader sounds like he might have been a bit of a ringleader yeah so like oh how dare you do that you don't want to get on the wrong side leader yeah you know he holds us all together you know yeah but and maybe like just for like I would advise just for group harmony and just for like your own piece I would just let's date outside of the group we've done it a few times it's not working like it's not really turning out too great it's causing a lot of issues for you so let's not very rarely sleep with the group anymore story within an already established group yeah okay dynamics are set now things are changing and yeah it's a complete double standard that if they're all okay with the guy but they're not okay with you like yeah that's horrendous but I also would think okay this hasn't really worked out too well for me like I'm not gonna I'm kind of self-sabotaging by continue continuing to like perhaps sleep with other people in the group everyone's got secret emotions like Brian he acted like he didn't care at all oh it's fine she could do what she wants and then all of a sudden he's whispering and chatting about and I think that was probably more just his ego like the fact that you've slept with his mate like yeah that's gonna hurt his ego I think yeah well let's just stay outside the group that's what Let's stay outside the group.

41:29Sophia Tuxford: We live and we learn. Like, I just hope the girls can be on your side. Me too. I don't like that. And be like, oh, it's okay. Let's get over it. I don't like that we're all kind of ganging up and - On only one of us and not the other. I don't like the ignoring. Yeah. It's like, oh, yeah. You've not killed anyone. You were single. You've just slept with a single guy and you're a single girl. Yeah. And also like, okay, let's push the other Brian out of the group then as well. Yeah. Makes no sense. Double standard.

41:58right we've got here last dilemma my boss is in love with my man now that's a pickle actually because you know what christmas starts treating you like shit don't they yeah i'm not in that situation well yeah because she's gonna try it like she wants to be you she wants because she wants your man unless the boss is a man sorry i'm just a seaman of course hi ladies i religiously have watched your videos and vlogs for many years i have now morphed into a kindle reading matcha drinking queen because of you too love that for you sarah thanks sounds like you're thriving sounds like a good life i wouldn't consider myself as a girl who has a drama filled life i normally keep myself to myself and my nights consist of mass amounts of coffee coffee at night coffee wow cuddle with my dog and reading but i thought i'd fill you in on what felt like the biggest drama ever so i started my current job about two years ago in july 2023 and i had a boyfriend at the time my now ex who was in my life prior to this job for three years we didn't really get each other very well he was into drinking and partying every weekend too tired with me or too drunk for sex okay dates out and meals were out of the question okay so he was lazy he couldn't even be bothered to have sex couldn't even bother to take you out okay lads holidays only kind of boy like we hate that like to your mates or something like who doesn't want to go on a vacation like do you want to suck there will he like do you not want to go on a vacation is that not so lovely apparently not so he wasn't a good match with me um but because we got together so young it was just easy to just stay as i was worried no one what no one else was gonna love me i understand yeah when like that one boy is all you've known it is so scary so you don't know what else is out there but the world is your oyster girl anyway back to the story so i started my current job two years ago and i met everyone at my work got along with everyone helped they all helped to train me up um but there was one boy when i started who gave me a feeling i had not felt in a very long time it's the girl from dilemma one it's the butterfly your fanny was fluttering girl i felt myself blushing every time i was talking to him he was very shy around me too i love that

44:18Sophia Tuxford: though like a little nervous are you nervous are you nervous it's okay don't be shy don't be shy I don't bite I'm sorry imagine if you actually said that to a boy I'd be sick I'd be sick I don't bite I don't bite I was too around him but there was a lot of low-key flirting talking about things we shared so much in common the work days felt so short we clicked instantly but I used to talk about my ex sometimes to make myself feel as though I wasn't cheating and that I was loyal oh so while she was still with him got it so you were like my boyfriend my boyfriend so you're like so you're thinking okay I'm flirting with you but I have yeah so you were thought like I'm not crossing a line you can sleep at night yeah you're like I'm not crossing a line because you know I've got a boyfriend yeah so if this ever comes out I can always say you knew I had a boyfriend I told you this is um YSL blush I'm not blushing yeah YSL cheating this is a fake I caught feeling so bad last you were in a relationship yeah i was asking my best friend what what do i do like i was literally crying on multiple occasions especially after a drink she was like this new work boy oh my god he's kind and attractive oh my god just do it see friends that just do it do it for the plan but i believe the whole don't get with a co-worker thing but you've still got brian you've still got brian by the sounds of things yeah so i just didn't i just didn't do anything where's the boss yeah i'm thinking the same thing so after 12 months of dressing up for work curling my pencil skirt there's nothing quite like that yeah there's nothing quite like a work a little bit earlier so you can just make that little bit more effort with your appearance yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah curling my hair at 6am and there's one day where you're thinking fucking hell i look good and he's not turned up he's working from home you're thinking bastard there's nothing about just getting you to work it gives you that bit of um yeah pepping your step and you're thinking right i just need to go to the photocopier so let me just make you yeah okay okay going and it's like it's like your heart is beating the yeah you're making a coffee he's coming over you're like yeah oh yeah can you go grab me some lunch can you grab me some paper for the photocopier yeah i was curling my hair at 6 a.m every single morning imagine sarah thinking of him day and night yeah meanwhile your boyfriend's thinking fucking hell you're making a lot of effort these days what's going on i decided to grow a pair of balls i was like oh my god what's she about to grow i was like oh what's she growing yeah and speak to my boyfriend and split his mom was a bit too much so i had to deal with that classic boy mom oh right so you broke up with him you're like all right his mom was a bit much whatever classic boy mom leave me alone you're thinking right i've got this new guy now i'm feeling a bit more comfortable i'm gonna jump ship this is all a backstory because she says me and brian are obviously happy together now we got together a few months after oh no this is the new brian whoa whoa sorry i'm illiterate listen me and new brian so that was all the prequel yeah okay now we start book one chapter one let's go prologue yeah me and new brian are happily together now oh so that was your yeah origin story yeah oh we love that yeah we do i'm so proud of you i'm proud of the catalyst of that you know yeah you had to realize that no this brian i'm with right now it's no good i want that i want that one broke up with that brian to get that brian you didn't cheat you know yeah no crossover just uh yeah okay sarah so we got together a few months after i broke up with my ex brian and have been together around a year now congratulations happy anniversary he is the best anniversary that's lovely so so where's the boss still we're still waiting for the boss i think it's about to come you've lured us in with your title sarah it's about to come he is so sweet he's the best brian i could ever ask for he recently bought me a new kindle oh and takes me out for food a coffee date surprises me with little gifts this is everything that was slacking from your ex i'm so happy for you i'm so happy for you sarah his family also paid off hey yeah don't let your boyfriend stop you from finding your husband hey ladies exactly guys but the juicy bit of this story is my boss do you know what i'm thinking now is this is this boyfriend that you've acquired this magical man is he like you know the office eye candy i bet you have a few people got their eyes on this boy at work yeah he's brian you know and it's like yeah yeah but the juicy bit of the story is with my boss who is very familiar of brian as brian has worked at the company for five years prior to us meeting and history had a thing for him she okay she's so jealous well this could be a hr she obviously i know she needs to watch it she does she's the boss she obviously heard word on the street yeah yes that we had got together and we're dating and she was not happy about this and started acting strange mind you my boyfriend is 25 and she is 57 all right well that's a plot twist that we did not see coming she says i know age may not matter to some people and that is fine if you're in a relationship at that age um but come on now come on now come on come on big boss come on you can't number one he's your employee yes and you're under 30 years old yeah and you're 60 yeah could be a child yeah very much could be very much could be yeah uh but look love is at any age yeah love is blind she was very lenient with annual leave for brian i bet not putting it now yeah not putting sick days down for him while he was ill asking him about football all the time and even though she looked very far from a football supporter taking a fake she's putting brackets taking a clear fake interest in him and sat on his on his desk while talking to him with her legs slightly touching him where is hr where is hr this is a hr issue where it's hate but she's the boss she thinks she rules the rules but you can't you can't be putting your thighs in front of a 25 year old boy at his desk you can't all right i You've got whatever denier tights are.

50:31Sophia Tuxford: You've got arms. It's not okay. I had witnessed the occasional hold of his shoulder or leaning over in a sexual way when she was showing him something on the computer. She's trying to show him her bosoms. Fucking hell, trying to get her tits out. She says, look at my bosoms down my buttoned shirt. But I thought maybe that's just me overthinking, you know. And because he was the only boy in the room as department rooms are split into maybe a few. It was a male involvement thing. I don't know. Okay, so you're thinking, oh, he's the only boy in the room. Bit of eye candy, you know. So yeah, my boss, who was once such a lovely lady, has turned into the devil.

51:16She's your hop. Who then got wind. She's coming for your man.

51:18Sophia Tuxford: You gotta be careful, Sarah. Who then got wind. She's gonna fire you. She does not like you, that's for sure. This lady does not care about HR. Her thigh is on Brian. Yeah. The buttons are undone. the push-up bras on she turned into the devil when she got wind of mine and brian's relationship oh my god she went to higher management stating i was a distraction in the workplace to the workmates and the team and she was trying get well soon susan and she was trying to get me in trouble for touching my phone to check the time and on top of that she was not approving my annual leave um she was just very off with me and different almost like she was trying to get me sacked and pushed me out.

51:57You know she's never gonna let you and Brian have the same manual

52:00Sophia Tuxford: leave for your couple's holidays. She's not gonna let it happen. No she's not. And it's like you know when you can you you know it's happening. You can just feel it. It's like yeah but you can feel it's in the fucking air. You can feel it. This carried on for ages and actually caused me a lot of stress and even ups and upset even outside of work because if you knew me personally I'm an overthinker. I'm a people pleaser. I'll do anything to keep the peace and have a calm life. Oh, Sarah. And I got on with every single person at my job. So yeah, you think I just want to have a good time here. Yeah, I just want to get on with people.

52:33Yeah. Like I don't need drama. But it's also the last thing you need is like a nasty boss. Yeah, no. I didn't want this to get between me and Brian. So I spoke with Brian as it was really upsetting me. He told me, yeah, she's always been very weird with him. It's made him feel uncomfortable too. But he's just got on with it because he didn't want to complain as Brian is not the drama kind either. up i then thought this is what people mean with the whole don't get with your work colleagues kind of vibe now since she has good weeks and bad weeks she is not in her prime devil stage but still gets annoyed at the fact we are together and can switch i refrain from saying what i'm doing in the weekend if it involves brian it might set her off shit you're gonna eggshells babes do you think i just move jobs and make life easier uh the only sad thing is i do actually like my job advice would be appreciated don't move sarah moving jobs is not an easy ordeal oh and we love this brian because she said ps every time i tune in on wednesday for a new episode on youtube brian goes oh not this girly stuff however oh he loves it yeah however after five minutes he sat giggling and kicking his feet and refuses to admit he isn't laughing at the pod and then somehow his phone is down is fully locked in

53:51Sophia Tuxford: right you're right Brian thank you for being here today I feel like we send people to HR a lot but like let's go to HR let's go to HR we personally haven't been to HR we haven't got a HR it's a magical place for us but I think you guys should tap into it we don't understand what happens in HR no but we are under the impression that you can go there if you've got a problem this is She's definitely ringing my HR alarm bells. Me too. It's on my HR radar. She's trying to seduce her employee. Yeah. She's making it personal. And she's making your life harder. You can't be a bitch to me because you fancy my boyfriend.

54:24Sophia Tuxford: No. Well, yeah, but it's classic. She hates you because she wants all his attention. Yeah. She wants to float with him. She feels threatened by you. She doesn't like you because of your appearance or your relationship or whatever. You can't treat, you can't be emotionally involved with the employees and treat them like that. I wouldn't encourage you to leave. Like this is your job that you enjoy. This is the career that like you want to be in. And like you get to go to work with your boyfriend every day. That's kind of fun. Like you can car share. Yeah. Like have lunch together. Yeah, that was really nice.

54:57Sophia Tuxford: I would hate for like a superior person to be like pushing you out. I know, but then it's like. I feel like that is against the law. It is. but then if it's like but my day-to-day is I'm so five days a week I'm walking on eggshells I can't chat freely about my relationship I'm also side-eyeing this woman who's acting crazy around my boyfriend I don't want to live with that like like that Monday through Friday so it's like actually I'm I am just going to remove myself from the situation because my happiness needs to come first maybe we go to HR first yeah and then we could remove ourselves from the situation So you and Brian both can sit down and talk about this.

55:34Yeah. You know, I don't know what happens when it's a boss, but she'll be reprimanded by HR. She should be. She's at the department, I'm sure. She does, yeah. Yeah. She should be. Unless HR doesn't exist. She should be leading by example. HR might not exist in her office. It should do.

55:44Sophia Tuxford: We've got different departments. There should be a HR department. Oh, wait, maybe she's just, maybe she doesn't own the company. Maybe she's just like the manager. She's just the manager. Oh, she's out. She's gone. Yeah, she can be replaced. She's gone after this. Employees have all the rights. Absolutely. we're part of the union we're in the union union workers rights it is go to hr resources yeah it is yeah that's exactly what hr is go to hr yeah you want to work in hr no it's probably quite a heavy job i imagine so yeah you've got a lot to deal with it's a lot of politics it's quite it'd be interesting but i mean what if there's hr issues within hr where do we go to then there's probably a person in hr who if there's a problem in hr there goes that person hr there has to be that person is then needs to be taken to hr there must be someone else where does it go then it must just keep going going and going and going and going because hr is a serious thing yeah i wish we're in hr here so i could report a few shout out to anyone who works in hr yeah i've got a few behavioral issues and concerns of sophia i need to report maybe blueberry could be head of hr yeah and it'd be like you know if you're having a problem we'll just hand you blueberry and she can be your like therapy dog speak to her yeah she's the boss yeah she's the boss around here yeah well good luck oh you've woken up oh she's woken up just in time for the end oh should we do our star of the week yes please i think your brian sounds lovely though sarah at the end me too i'm happy you guys have got each other me too but that is a strange situation we need some wisdom this is a lovely brian oh my god i've just seen show me i just seen a gory image This was the Brian of the Week story.

Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo Flying Insect Trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. Like houseflies, fruit flies, gnats. And then with Zivo, bam. Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats.

1:00:50Sophia Tuxford: Without any mess or strong odors. The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved. So it hides the bugs it catches, keeping them out of sight. And when the cartridge is full, you just grab the no mess tab. Throw it in the trash, pop in a new cartridge, and then you're done. No mess, no stress. So whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends, and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zivo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection. Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.

1:01:26Hey guys, it's Drew from the comment section. Some days my skin just needs a little coverage and other days I want to go full glam for those everyday moments like running errands or grabbing coffee I've been loving the merit minimalist stick because it's a foundation and concealer in one that gives me a really Natural skin like finish, but when I want more coverage i'm reaching for the hourglass vanish concealer every time I know i'm not the only one who struggled to find the right foundation or concealer shade Which is why I always shop at sephora They have the best brands all in one place with so many shades, coverage options and finishes, plus expert beauty advisors, free samples and shade matching tools both online and in store.
