0:00Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. 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.

2:25Well, maybe not I guess it's clothing, yeah Earth to Mel Listen, they've got nice new clothes, I tell you You know the drama is never-ending Don't let it get the best of you

2:42We've been talking about Christmas today, actually We have been in our Christmas zone and we're both wearing cobalt blue I'm wearing my Justin Bieber merch these at home I'm wearing Harry Styles merch whoa fangirls kiss all the time to skip occasionally these at home recordings really bring me back into just my Justin Bieber energy me too well I almost put my Justin Bieber jumper on almost but I thought no let's give Harry a little bit of something it is a heatwave however we've got aircon in here yeah Chintzy is living the high life with that aircon not to brag or anything but my dog is cool she's going a bit crazy right now Blueberry's also really in her humping phase.

3:18Oh my. The humping is going crazy. Like she, because before she would only hump in the evenings. It was like an evening thing. A sweet treat. Honestly, it was like a 10pm thing. And I'd be like, whoa, it's humping hour. Like it was one hour of the day in the night time. Whoa. On the sofa. Now it's constant. Constant. Like morning hump. Like it's this long caterpillar. No, it's a worm actually. What? That's a caterpillar, isn't it? It's a worm. Whoa. I always thought it was a caterpillar. And me too, but everyone corrected me saying it's a worm. Oh. Yeah. Okay. And she just, because it's like a long worm.

3:53But it's got antennas. Worms don't have antennas. Oh. Anyway. We digress. Is it a caterpillar? I don't know. However, she like proper humps it. And she was going crazy. Like Humpty Dumpty. Like will not stop humping the sting. And I like don't know what it is. Because like you're a girl, you've not hit, she's not hit puberty yet. I mean she could be an early starter when she first started humping I did google it and it said when they're excited it is normal but like I've never seen my family dogs hump like that neither have I, I've never seen honey hump no I've never seen like Bonnie or Coco it's uncomfortable it feels like we shouldn't be watching it I feel like I'm invading her privacy but she's doing it right in front of us she's like and then I'll try and grab the caterpillar and then she'll grab my hand and my hand will be stuck and she'll be humping the whole section and i'm like you dirty girl stop with the arm hump yeah well she's coming up to she's one yeah so like i'm waiting for a period to start because it should be like now anytime now wow if it's like a blood on set yeah maybe it's coming she's obviously maturing yeah but she's just in her crazy humping era right now well we thought we'd do another episode from home hopefully no technical difficulties this time my favorite thing is a hoodie like yeah i feel a little bit crazy yeah i feel so safe in a hoodie i'd like a hood on right now i feel a little bit exposed i love summer i do i love it however you can't leave the house in a hoodie now it's so hot and that is sad you know but we shouldn't complain because i like the safety of a hood and a hoodie completely I'm with you.

5:39But yeah, I'm not complaining about the heat. Let's not complain about the heat, honey. I'm not complaining about no heat. Yes. Because that winter is, oh my God. Winter is bleak. I hate. But then once it comes around, we lean into the knits with beanies. We always say it. And the jackets and the boots. Yeah, and the autumnal, you know, yeah. The leather boots. Yeah, and the hot chocolates, you know. I mean, I had a hot chocolate at the weekend, which is crazy. Well, yeah, actually I had one last week. Yeah. Yeah, it's a normal beverage to consume weekly, I think I think it's a nice breakfast you know beverage oh I had it at like 10pm oh that's nice late night sweet treat that's really nice I think when that hail was coming I think when the rain hits next week I think it's absolutely appropriate to be having a hot chocolate well as always we're beverage enthusiasts so we are double part that looks a bit scary today it tastes like angel delight it's really good we've got an ice matcha we've got smoothies I've got the glow getter from tears second matcha of the day We're ready to go.

6:39We're relying on Chintzy's phone because mine's filming us. And this is just, you know, at-home vibe. There's no rules here, okay? Absolutely not. It's not girl talk. It's not boy talk. It's just at-home coziness. Look, show where we are. We are currently. This is giving, like, Sweden energy. This is giving. This is like actually heaven for me. The pills are alive. Deep this. Little cottage, butter yellow. Yeah? For the audio listeners, we've got a TV. behind us with a scene we need to set the scene of the vibes make people feel comfortable come on in we've got some lovely flow liage flower liage flow liage and we're on the river on the lake on the lake sorry this is giving like just frolic energy it's giving which is a real powerful energy energy energy energy it's giving summer camp Swedish summertime it's giving Swedish summertime midsummer you know when they celebrate.

7:38Yeah, of course. You never watched the film Midsommar, did you? No. With Florence Pugh? No. That was the shit that was down your spine. You still not watched Michael Jackson? He he, he he. Well, I ain't got time to go send my babes on Busy. You booked him busy. So I'm waiting. She's a mama. She's a mama. Let's face it. I'm waiting for Amazon Prime and I'll enjoy it in the comfort of my own home. I can't wait to re-watch. Yeah. I'm a re-watcher to my core though.

I'm surprised she's not humping that. Yeah, me too. I think she feels more familiar with the worm. The worm's her first love. There we go. yeah see I myself I enjoy something more the second time around because I like to know what's coming and I like to know what's coming next and I like to be like oh I like this bit and be like oh I don't really like this bit yeah we're getting to the end now there's some sort of anxiety about watching something for the first time okay Blueberry I was really in my flow there because you know I don't know when this is over when am I leaving when am I getting out see it's you see it's just crazy how life works because that's two two completely different perspectives there because I'm like oh I know what's about to happen boring apart from bridesmaids I can watch that and obviously friends that's different but if it's like a film or like a like yeah no fascinating yeah fascinating how the mind works guys fascinating talks today on this podcast different personalities are kind of crazy well do you know what I think is interesting Actually, the brain.

No, they were just like, it was like a bit of tease with the ball. A bit of chase. A bit of teenage angst. Yeah, it was. It was like chasing him around and he was chasing her. A little bit of push and pull. Yeah, then his dad. A classic romance dynamics. It was. And then his dad would call him back. He'd be like, Piero, Piero. Because when he was starting to get a bit bitey. But then she'd like, look at me. And then she'd want to go a bit more.

Don't take what we say 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. Right, so we've had an update. So this girl, she met him on a night, it was a couple of weeks ago, she met him on a night out.

24:39Were they in a different city? i think so i'm struggling to i'll tell you they started sleeping together she was loving it it was like just sex like we don't want to be you know entangled like i've got out of a relationship but i want a relationship she was just going around yes and then all of a sudden he disappeared he he's his instagram was gone we never heard from him again and we were saying that she should go around to his house or you we were saying like or he's like on the run a man on the run just yes okay there's something about australia there no i'm getting confused no that's someone else we thought that maybe she'd been blocked but no his instagram account was gone gone so yeah it was just giving like okay right well let's hopefully that rings a few bells for some people hey girls after watching today's episode i thought i would email in and give you a little update a couple days after sending in the dilemma i said to sarah fancy a drive tonight she agreed and we planned to drive to his house just to see if anyone was in.

25:40Because it's smart. When we got there... A little drive-by, I like that. A little stay-cou. Nice. When we got there, the lights were on and the car was outside. Sarah asked if I was going to go and knock on. I said, absolutely not. But after sitting there for 10 minutes, I said, fuck it, and decided to go and knock. He came and opened the door and although it was about 10 at night, he didn't seem to be surprised to see me at all and had a big smile on his face like nothing had happened. I told him I was in the area and thought I'd come and see if he was okay since he deactivated his Instagram account.

26:09Oh, I remember now. She doesn't have his number. I remember. It was like they were just DMing. Just DMing. Right. He said he was all right and that he's setting up a new business. So he's come off everything to get rid of all the distractions. Honestly, these excuses get like just mental. I understand like deleting the app and having some time away, but deactivating your account. No, that's not what you do when you want to. But it's just like, it just shows how little he thinks of your connection or whatever's going on there because he doesn't even care to give you an expert. Like he will just, they are so happy you just go ghost like that.

26:47Yeah. And be like, oh, I was just like, I work on my business. Yeah. What are you on about? Well, she's humping. Look, let her hump better than barking. She is home. It's quite fascinating, isn't it? But then she'll clock. Sometimes when I try and get my camera out to film, she'll like, stop. She'll look at me and like stop So she knows, I don't know It's like a weird like Or if I'm like Blueberry, she'll look at me quite guiltily Like She's a growing lady, let her do what she wants She's got hormones Yeah, absolutely, let her get it out somewhere Is that worm? Right So he says, and it was apparently make or break Over the next few weeks for his business I was like, you could have just pre-warned me And sent me a message, you know, letting me know beforehand And he was like, yeah, I should have I just didn't really think okay he then mentioned about his massive fridge about this massive fridge in his kitchen that I could see is that a euphemism for his penis what?

27:45no way do you want to come see my massive fridge? no? I don't know or is it genuinely a massive fridge? so now he's inviting you in because he wants a little bit of puss like no so we said yeah come in and see my fridge that wasn't there before being to do the new business. Oh, the fridge is to do with the business, which I thought was a bit dodgy. I asked him what the business was. He's hiding drugs in the fridge. In the freezer. Yeah. A common place. I asked him what the business was and he says it's top secret. Again, very dodgy, even though he had never struck me as a dodgy guy before. Right.

28:23It is giving drug lord, eh? Right. He then said he was going to be active again in a few weeks. Oh, wow. Oh, thank God. You're back. Oh, you're back. I can't wait. I'll put it in my diary. Oh, I'm really happy you're going to be active again. My life can now resume. Right. You're having all this conversation at his doorstep. Well, in the fridge. No, I think we're looking at the fridge. He said he was going to be active again in a few weeks and he would message me when he's around again. Oh, thank you. So when it's convenient for you to message me, we need to cut this guy off. He is telling you there and then, I'm going to pick you up and drop you whenever I want.

29:00Whenever I want. Literally whenever. That's what he's letting you know. Yeah. He's being very upfront, really. Yeah. But then, like, we're taking the breadcrumbs. Like, oh, he does want to see me again. Oh, he does actually want to see me. Yeah, but that's where we need to not romanticize. He's choosing me again, but that's what we're clinging on to. Exactly. So, Cindy would message me when he's around again. After this, I said bye and drive home with Sarah. A bit confused by it all. What does confusion mean? It's not right. It's not right. Sorry, took me a while. It's not right. over the next few weeks few weeks i started to forget about the situation a bit and started speaking to a few new people good because you have had a little bit of closure because at the beginning it was all like mystery yeah like at least he's alive where's he gone like he's been blocked like i'm glad that you you know i'm glad that you did show up and you've now got that confirmation like okay so he actually like he did just drop me like it was just sex and he didn't even feel like i was desert i was like a bit of a heads up like oh by the way like you're not going to be able to contact me for x y and z i do also i hope that made you feel better that conversation because i think it should have it should have given you like clarity that he's a yeah he's twat yeah but she just felt confused so still kind of wanted yeah because he's like i'm gonna be back anyway so she said she started speaking to a few new people good nice anyway distraction yeah it's good last night i was scrolling through instagram and his account came up as following someone who was in my suggested so i had a little look and he's reactivated it like he both said i was definitely romanticizing the situation but the time without contact has really opened my eyes i know he's going to message me soon but i will defo defo be taking your advice and leave him hanging if he's just expecting me to go to his like nothing happened love you go so much sarah yeah so he's like following new girls yeah like he you've seen exactly what you needed to see like he's not bothered he's actually shown us he's not bothered yeah and and that is that and we don't want a boy who's not bothered yeah and we don't need to romanticize it or like just him saying like just just him messaging is not like a oh he's thinking about me he wants me back it's like no i've slept with her before she'll probably say yes yeah i'm going back in yeah like I'm gonna go start for weeks on end I'm glad that you had that good chat and that closure of just like oh you're just here living life and you've just basically like yeah like you weren't thinking about me at all when I'm thinking about you every day I think that was probably like I bet that was hard but I bet it was a good like dose of reality as well so that's like where we need to check ourselves isn't it well we love an update thank you ladies there's one thing that will forever change the way you sleep and it's the softest 100 % organic cotton bedding from bowl and Branch.

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 Zeevo, 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, Zeevo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection.

33:09Plug in a Zeevo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.

33:32whoa we can relate to this sofia is definitely does a bit of this but no but we we've got who You know, thingy. Oh my God. Oh my God. Okay. Dilemma number one. I think my bestie shoplifts. Whoa. There's a thief in our mitts. I mean, can we put it in order? Put it in order. What you got? I need some new fake tan. Hello, gorgeous girls. I'm a big fan. Yeah, you're going to Boots anytime soon. Yeah, I need some new CeraVe. I need a little stock up of, you know. I'm a big fan. I save your episodes for my Saturday long runs. Oh, that's lovely. Shout out to the runners. Shout out. Keep it going, girls.

34:11You both make my 1520K. That's a half marathon she's doing on a Saturday. Enjoyable. And I often find myself laughing along through the pain. Oh, love that. And for that, you deserve an MBE. Whoa. Thank you, Sarah. Wow. Anyway, I have a dilemma. This is actually, we've never had this before. This is a girl's bathroom first. I have a strong suspicion that one of my close friends, is shoplifting. Honestly, I can't believe I'm even writing this, but it's at the point where I don't know what to do or how to proceed. We have been friends since we were about five. We are 29 now. I love her to bits. My friend, call her Sarah, is a gorgeous and genuine soul.

34:59However, we went for a shopping trip recently and felt she was acting out of character. Fuck. She's in a trance. So she's not even being like open to you being like, look, I'm about to slip this in my pocket. I can just look away. She's like hiding it from you too. Yeah. And you're like, what's come over you? Like, where's our Sarah gone? Whoa. She seemed stressed and shady. Because I also like, if we're in Primark, I've seen it when shoplisters get caught in Primark. It's so stressful. It's the whole group gets done. Yeah. So like, who are you with? You're like, you're all coming. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

35:37like it's not just you like you're putting me at risk too I could be being banned from this Nottingham Primark now and like no no not having that I remember someone took a whole like pile of jeans from the front at Jack Wills and they're like 60 quid a pop yeah and I was like I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do like am I supposed to chase this man down the street no because he could have a weapon exactly we're going to put yourself at harm for 350 an hour I just had to let him go you can't put yourself at harm I had to tell someone else you're not chasing a man down the street it's the police's job The boys did, though.

36:07They were chaste people. Probably a bit of thrill for a Saturday. Yeah, probably a thrill for a Saturday four-hour shift. Okay, so you're out shopping. Seemed a bit stressed and shady. I bought a few things, but she didn't, noting she couldn't afford it. Okay. Right. Fast forward to when we were driving home. I moved her bag. She had a tote bag with her the whole time. And noticed there were a few items from M &S in there. The new M &S clothes. Mel? Melissa, tell the high-ups. She's stealing her carrot cake. No wonder there's none left. Oh, you're thinking food? Well, maybe not. I guess it's clothing.

36:47Earth to melt. Listen, they've got nice new clothes, I tell you. I grabbed the tote bag for her when we pulled up initially and it was empty. I am 99 %... Right, so we went into the shop. It was an empty tote bag. Now there's stuff from M &S and E. She just told me she didn't buy anything. Oh, shit. I am 99 % certain she shoplifted these things since she absolutely didn't buy anything when we were together. Oh my gosh, she's running a business. I noticed she uploaded four things to Vinted that night and lo and behold, the items I saw in her bag that I presume she had grabbed and put in there whilst we were in the shop when I wasn't looking.

37:25Fair enough. So she's thinking, I need to get rid of the evidence and make some cash. There's no trace. I'm going to steal this stuff and I'm going to sell it fair enough I have had suspicions for a while she's running a 100 % profit business yeah a few similar occasions do I ignore and pretend I never noticed or reach out and ask if everything is okay and confront it head on please help I want to help my friend and ensure she doesn't go any further with this but I also don't want to ruin our friendships because I can imagine breaking the law is a slippery slope you know like she's got a taste of a bit of M &S clothing did she used to like steal sweets from the sweet shop and stuff you know when you were kids feel like it petty crime yeah and like in the next five years it's going to be heroin that's what I'm saying this is literally on the streets so we need to check her now I think that's your best friend let's check her I saw your vintage post I thought you didn't buy anything in M &S I think because like she's going to go to prison it's actually kind of mental and you don't want your best friend to go to prison you don't you know it's like you need to check her now is everything okay what's going on at home you know do you need extra cash like what i'd rather you ask me if you needed some help than putting yourself at risk and like you know your future because i don't want you to have a criminal record that you can't get that teaching job you know and then it's it's it's i mean it's a big accusation to make i understand why you would be really nervous about that but i but when you know you know like you're not assuming that for no reason like you've seen a couple things a couple times and even like when you're shopping and she's a bit nervous and a bit on edge and i'm just gonna go over here and you're like well aren't we browsing this together you you know how she acts and behaves like so i do think maybe i mean maybe you wait and do it in the moment again like call it out in the moment sometimes i do think that is easier just to be like like when you saw that tote bag be like oh did you you didn't buy you yeah yeah like where'd you get this stuff from like there's no receipt like that kind of thing and maybe call her out in the moment or yeah or you call out the vintage uh the vintage posts and be like oh that was all the stuff that was in eminent where did you get that from yeah you didn't like you didn't buy anything like put her up like but in person put her on the spot yeah because i think if you do it even though it's easier to confront people over text i do think if you do it on text she's gonna you're giving her time to think of her story and i think in person you can have more of a meaningful conversation about is everything okay i don't want you to be doing this like you can get the tone across that like i'm not judging you i'm not like i just want to be here for you and like you can talk to me like we don't need to be doing this yeah like tell me what's going on like if you're going through something like speak to me yeah but like maybe you've got some old clothes that you would take to the charity shop it's like you can put them on vintage yes like if you want some stuff on vintage like let me have a dig yeah i'm sure mum's got some old stuff i've got some old stuff like we're gonna put it in a clothing bank but like you can have it instead like selling stolen items yeah because like also like people get a kick out of police i know but i think the police can still track trace that and the problem is like the more she does it yeah the more normal it's gonna become and the more normal it's gonna feel and then the more she's gonna up the ante well yeah and then it's gonna get bigger purchases and the next thing she's like grabbing an iPhone.

40:52Next thing she's in Curry's and it's a flat screen TV.

40:57Good luck, Sarah. I will confront her. I think so because you don't want your best friend to essentially go to prison in a couple of years. Because we don't want any conjugal visits. and it's full of stolen goods. Yeah. Like that she's vlogging. Like then that's it. I wonder when, I wonder what the first thing she stole was. Like where did this start? Where did this begin? Well, maybe it started at the self-checkout. you know bingo I've been seeing like it's pretty easy little spoken like a true theme you know me but like because I've been seeing one pair two yeah yeah yeah yeah one bag three how many bags did she have zero zero but yeah maybe it started there I thought that was easy like maybe she's unsuspecting you know and she's got away with that and it's like well actually if I brought a toe I could probably slip it you know and she started small and now she's yeah because M &S is not cheap not cheap no that stuff is viral yes people want it shout out Melissa shout out Melissa so I would check her because essentially like if Sophia said I'd be like right you're going to go to prison yeah and we're going to be out of the job and also like if I've known about it then I'm an accomplice in your crimes like you're going to drag me down with you and I'm going to tell you that you made me do it yeah she's going to say that I was a mastermind and we tell the police that she made me do it yeah then it's going to be Orange is the New Black we're all going to be in prison we don't want that we've got summer plans you know we can't be going to jail yeah but yeah let's see what's going on because obviously you know she's struggling and we want to help out our best friend right or she's just looking for an adrenaline rush in that case we'll go to the theme park right

42:43next up hit me with your rhythm stick Okay, we're dealing with a man here So my boyfriend went to the sexual health clinic Okay Should I be worried? Oh, it wasn't a So he's had a secret little visit To get checked I see, I see We've been together for four years I see, I see It's that like chlamydia thing all over again The precipitation all over again What was that? Precipitation Oh my god, I forgot we were playing that I literally forgot Same Oh shit, I've not been locked in. Are you mental? Shit, I've literally... I've been worried about my humping dog. I've been worried about my barking and humping dog.

43:25I've been worried about it for a while. You did it? Maybe. I don't even know what it is. What's my word? Have a check. Oh, okay. Shit, oh my god. I need to lock in. Sort it out in the game, babes. Get your head in the game. This dog distracted me. When you're a mother, you're all over the place. Of course. You can't focus. I can only imagine. You're doing a wonderful job. You're doing, for what it's worth, you're doing a great job. Right. You calm now. Shh, shh, shh. Right. So we've gone to the sexual health clinic. Hello. Background info. Me and my brain have been together for eight years. Yeah.

44:08And it's like, I know your sexual health. I know your full body health through and through. Yeah, like I know if you get a new mole back. Exactly. You have never had any penite issues. And now all of a sudden you're taking yourself off secretly to the sexual health clinic. It's not right. It's not right. We're 28. 26 and 28. Because it's not like women. Sometimes you might just need to get checked out. It's nothing like sexual health related. Yeah, it's more like ovary shit, isn't it? Yeah, where it's like men. Vaginal health. Yeah. But I guess they do need to get their balls checked. True, true.

44:45Okay, fair. Because there are like... Maybe he's going for a... Ball cancer. Yeah, maybe he's going for that. What's the word for that? Testicular cancer. Yeah, maybe he's going for that. So that's actually valid and a real concern for men. So we've lived together for around a year. Okay, so fairly new-ish to be living together. It seemed late after being together for so long, but we both wanted to experience living in London with friends before living together because now, If all goes well, it'll be me and him for the rest of our lives. Love that. Love it. That's a nice mentality. Now the dilemma.

45:17I have traveled back home to just outside of London to pet sit for my parents. Nice. So she's been gone. She's been gone. Since you've been gone. I traveled on the Thursday. Brian is still staying in London, but will be joining me to cat sit on Saturday. Okay. So he's got a weekend. He's got Thursday night, Friday night. To run wild. However, I have my own home screen, a widget for Find My that will randomly show me the location of one of the people I have on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where, there, when I unlock my phone. Oh, I didn't know you could get a widget for that. Neither did I, but I know what she means.

45:52So there's a widget and sometimes it just randomly shows you one person who's somewhere. Okay. I open my phone Friday morning whilst I was at my parents' house. It was about 10am at this point. Shut up. Oh, wait, he was at the... Of course. But maybe not, wait. it was 10 a.m. at this point and saw my boyfriend at a random location I didn't recognize I had already FaceTimed him that morning and he was obviously in our flat in bed and on the same widget I saw his location last night and this morning and he was at our flat he likes to do runs slash cycles I thought oh that must be it yeah he must be out exercising although it was a bit of a random place to do either of those from our flat yeah so you're thinking that's not your usual running route like that's a random location I stayed on the Find My Friends app for a bit And he didn't move, he was still I looked back again at 10.30 And was still in the same location It was a high street near a train station area My first thought was that he'd be running or cycling But had an accident But he'd also been active on WhatsApp five minutes ago Right Then I saw one of the buildings right next to him Marked as a sexual health clinic Because also, if it was like If he'd found something in his balls, you'd know about it.

47:06You'd have spoken about it. I need to go get this checked out. La, la, la. Be a whole conversation. Yeah. So it can't be that. He said, this is a secret. This is a secret. So I saw it said sexual health clinic. I thought, that's odd. But there were lots of other shops nearby too. I see. He's on a high street. Okay. But the fact that your mind goes there first, it's like, it's that. Yeah. It's telling. Then I remembered whilst FaceTiming earlier, he said he was still tired and didn't have to work for an hour so wanted to try and get back to sleep for a bit. He told you he was going to sleep. To get you off the phone because he thought I need to get to this clinic.

47:40Time's running out. I need to get out of the house. So that was a little lie there. I'm going to go back to sleep. So he's setting it up like oh I'm just going to have a couple more hours of sleep. La la la. So wanted to try and get back to sleep for a bit so would phone me back later. So I sent him a text saying the latest seems to be a lot later. Just to prompt something in him and check he's okay without sounding too crazy. About 15 minutes later, he phoned me. He was wearing his cap and running top. So I thought, oh, good. He's obviously just gone for a run. But find my location was just playing up.

48:19We're saying he was stopped when he wasn't. Right. Okay. Yeah. So, right. He was also a little bit red. just to confirm and put my mind to rest. So you're thinking, oh, you are just out running. Find my friend. He maybe just went to prayer and sat for 20 minutes. Maybe like he needed a poo mid run. Yeah. Found a nearby toilet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like he's red, whatever. Just to confirm and put my mind to rest. I said, oh, have you been for a run? And then run then this morning. He said, no, he was thinking about it, but decided not to. Oh, so he was like, oh, I was thinking about it, but I'm not.

48:52So he's not actually on a run. He was out. okay then my mind was overthinking because why was he at a location that is a good 10 minute train journey away or a 40 minute walk away yeah we're not on the local that was just like you haven't just nipped a prep around the corner like that was a you had to go there like you had an appointment and also like you're my boyfriend of eight years i know where we go i know where your friends live i know like what cafes you like frequent yeah like you we ain't just go like yeah We've never been there before. If you were grabbing a coffee, I know where you're going to grab a coffee.

49:25You're not going to get 10 minutes on the train to go to this specific high street that we've never really been to together. That's not your gym. That's not some paddle calls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where are you? Yeah. Shit. Yeah, this is looking suspicious, isn't it? He also answered weirdly. And he kind of over-explained why he didn't go for the run. Guilty. And just seemed like he wasn't telling the trivia. You know him. You know when something feels not right. we then just chatted like normal um for a bit before hanging up as we both had work to do then i thought well if he was going to go to a sexual health clinic he will google sexual health clinic near me and go to the closest one on the nhs website i thought if i could prove to myself that that that wasn't the closest sexual health clinic then there must be another reason he was where he was on that high street but after i put in our flat postcode the same address to his location popped up as being the closest to us that's smart yeah because they're not on they're not around every corner are they no no no the math is mathing you're really joining the dots here unfortunately shit also like that was a weird not a weird like that was a blessing in disguise that like his your widget was on him yeah on you because those rigid widgets rotate yeah like the fact that it was on by my friends and you noticed he said he was going back to sleep so like you You're not checking it religiously every second, you know?

50:42I've never had any worries before about him cheating on me. But now I can't get out of my head why he would go to a sexual health clinic. I think they deal with other things other than just sexually transmitted diseases. And maybe it's some form of UTI or something he wanted to get checked out. But I think he would have told me. He would have told you. You would think. I think, look, we've been together for eight years. If something was different down there, if something was stinging or hurting and he knew it wasn't because he's cheated on you. he would express to you something's not right this hurts I mean maybe it's different for boys but I would be like you've got to take me you've got to come with me yes well yeah I'd be like where do I go especially boys they're less likely to take themselves to the doctors because they put things off and off so the fact that he has took himself when you're not there straight away to the clinic you spoke to him beforehand he didn't tell you had a real panic last night like I noticed this and I've got this pain and I'm just going to I'm just going to go like you didn't mention it you tried to get me off the phone and then you went so it is secretive yeah i think i've i've overthought this but i don't feel like i don't ask him again about it now because if it is something personal to him he might not want to say and i don't know if it's fair to put the pressure on him to say see now you're making excuses for him and i do understand like privacy but like yeah eight years in come on like yeah and like if there's if this was a new like I don't know if this was like yeah this is eight years this is your like come on this is your partner of eight years like you know yourself like you don't keep a secret or like any little change in me like I'm telling you what's happening yeah like oh where are you going today I'm going here like you're telling your partner what you're up to and what you're doing and why I don't think you should be worried about invading his privacy about this situation like I don't think you need to be worried about that but also what if he has slept with someone and is now worried about an STD.

52:34Also, what if he's gone ring shopping or something completely different and I'm nagging him for an answer? I don't know if I should try and get past the what if feeling or try to speak to him again. Any advice? Welcome. Thanks. Look, I would have to bring it up. I don't know how you're going to get through the day if you don't. Maybe it was ring shopping. Well, is there a jewellers next to the sexual health clinic? I think your gut, we need to follow our intuition sometimes. but also in this instance like one plus one equals two he tried to get you off the phone you saw him on my friend we know what's happened he was at the clinic for half an hour like and then he answered and he was red and he was blushing because you think oh my god i've caught you yeah in this random place you've not gone for a run like but but you see what we're doing it's so easy for us to now be like okay well actually i can't bring it up now because la la la yeah yeah and he probably was just ring shopping or like doing something else like we're already thinking of ways that we can just like not avoid it yeah but your intuition and your gut is literally telling you something is going on yeah from the moment that he said i'm going back to sleep like something you know yeah and i also like it doesn't necessarily mean that he has cheated on you this it could be something more personal that he maybe feels a bit embarrassed about and has wanted to keep to himself but this is when you you know i imagine that if like if this happened to me and I had something I was like I need to deal with this myself and I'm too embarrassed to tell my partner and my partner then called me out saying are you cheating have you done something and I saw you're at a clinic I'd be like I'd rather tell you the truth about what I was embarrassed about than be accused of cheating on you yeah so like if you do bring it up then I'm sure he would rather tell you what actually happened do you know what I mean yeah yeah I think so you just gotta go where were you Friday morning like I don't think you were just on a run like it says you were at the sexual just literally literally say it straight to his face maybe just be like look i something's been on my mind like i'm sorry to bring this up but like i've just got to yeah say like i know i can speak to you about anything so like i've got to tell you this when we're on the phone on friday my widget like you were at this weird place for literally half an hour and it appears to be the closest sexual health clinic to us you told me you were going back to sleep but it showed that you were at a sexual health clinic yeah for literally like half an hour yeah i need like what's going on what's going on and just see what he says yeah and then he might be like oh i didn't want to tell you because i've been a bit embarrassed but like they've given me this prescription and look at this like if it's defensive if it's accusatory if it's like oh well where are you looking why are you checking my location like oh that must be wrong it must be wrong it must be wrong yeah like why the fuck would you think that i was at prep like look whoa okay matey like come on speak to me with some respect yeah um i think you will know off of his reaction what like you need to take a look at his willy that's what i mean like has he is he taking any tablets has he got any new creams like what's going on because he will have been prescribed something i imagine like has he wanted to have sex also like check his emails you know has he got a follow-up email from the clinic yeah like do you think we should check his phone things yeah i would like check we should check his phone yeah because it's like if you've had sex with someone there will be some sort of discourse about that in your phone somewhere unless it was just someone that you met and it wasn't an exchange true true true true but i would let's talk to him first defo oh my god please tell us like what he says please tell us like please yeah we don't tell yourself that like oh i shouldn't invade his privacy no like at the end of the day like he's really is going into your vagina and like if he's got an STD like we need to know these things you know because he can't just go on and act like no something dodgy is going on oh

56:34okay oh my best friend went on a triple date with my ex and his new girlfriend oh that stings wait say it again my best friend went on a triple date not a double date a triple date with my ex and his new girlfriend yeah that's not right that this is not a drill thank god you are reading this dilemma i've spoken to my friends and we decided it was time to take it to court. We're the courts. Love that. Basically, my best friend was on a double date with my ex and his new girlfriend. Dramatic pause. I'd love to say this is me exaggerating, but it isn't. Yeah, that's not right. This dilemma deserves a timeline for some background context.

57:17Me and Susan have been best friends since we were four. I'm talking family holidays, sleepovers, sharing, you know, TMI info like it's water. I always thought she was my... How sweet is this? I always thought she was the shampoo to my conditioner. Oh, that's really nice. And I've protected her through situations that didn't involve me as I thrive through friendship loyalty. This is lovely. Lovely. I am friends with Susan, but I have a uni group and other best friends who are completely separate. And I love that dynamic, especially in situations like this. A couple of years ago, I was seeing a boy.

57:53I'd love to call him Voldemort or Gollum for this dilemma, but considering I'm the adult in this situation, we'll call him Brian. We can call him Gollum. I met Gollum through Susan as Gollum was her manager. They weren't friends but were colleagues who spoke often on the shop floor whilst placing broccoli and mushrooms, I guess. Me and Gollum met on a night out and things progressed from there. Nothing good happens meeting these men in the workforce. A girl we will call Helen also worked on the shop floor and eventually became really good friends with Susan. I really liked Helen as I thought she had a good sense of humour and I could see why Susan and her got on so well right me and Gollum were seeing each other but never made things official as he was eight years older than me but regardless I had a lot of feelings for him and ended up heartbroken when it ended Susan knew this and tried to console me but always had a difficult time giving me sympathy in terms of a breakdown of a relationship which is a conversation for another time so she's not got much empathy so she's kind of so I'll get over it when it comes to like being broken up with yeah i didn't expect much sympathy from her but she and helen both knew i was seeing him and you know my feelings towards the whole situation fast forward to my birthday four months after we ended me my friends and family went out to the pub and it just so happens helen and gollum were also there happy birthday to me they were cozying up and it would have taken a blind man not to see that they were together come on me after being consoled by helen from a distance and Susan, Helen was now in a full-blown relationship with him.

59:32One of the biggest arguments... Helen was your friend. Yeah, through Susan. Through Susan, but still. One of the biggest arguments me and Susan have ever had then commenced as she proceeded to spend the majority of my birthday night with Helen. Who's snogging my ex. I'm a confrontational person, so I spoke to her and said it was unfair. Yeah. But ultimately ended up apologizing for overreacting as Susan rarely takes accountability for her actions and I just wanted my best friend back. Yeah, so you're like, oh, I just want things to go back to normal. Forget it, forget it, forget it. I came to the conclusion it wasn't worth wasting a lifelong friendship for a boy.

1:00:09At the end of the conversation, we agreed that regardless of opinions, it was unfair for her to be involved with their relationship at all, but would continue her friendship with Helen as who am I to tell her who to be friends with? Yeah, but you're saying, look, I have nothing to do with Gollum, whatever. like they're not gonna last anyway like whatever they're gonna break up surely because he's a prick fine be friends with Helen but like I want kind of shady but like I don't need want you to have anything to do with Gollum like he broke my heart kind of thing regardless she and him were blocked on all platforms and reported for nudity by me and my external friends that was over a year ago so I hope I've given the context well okay fast forward to last week are they still together then it was Helen's birthday and Susan went out for drinks with one of her other friends.

1:00:54I thought nothing of it as you know they are still friends and it's a tricky situation for her. What Susan doesn't know is that I followed the other friends who were there. She proceeded to post a picture of three boys sitting together. Her boyfriend, Susan's boyfriend and Gollum. I felt sick to my stomach. I am in such a happy relationship now which highlights how poorly I was treated by Gollum. So this isn't because I have any remaining feelings for him. It's because if Susan killed someone, I'd take the blame for her and all my other friends hold the same loyalty to me. It hurts because my number one girlie prioritized a night out with Helen and Gollum and didn't even tell me.

1:01:31She's been trying to reach out, see if I'm okay in general, but I don't know what on earth to say. If I confront her, she will get defensive and call me childish, which I know is ridiculous as my feelings are very real. And she has never acknowledged my feelings in this situation. I can't beg for loyalty as that ultimately feels manufactured and I'm completely lost on what to do I don't want to lose her as a friend but as I get older my morals are in a better place than they were when we were younger and as it stands she has no idea that I know and I've been slightly ignoring her messages any advice would be greatly appreciated and you know it's so annoying that this has all happened because of a boy you know that's the real shame of the whole situation isn't it and it's And it's like, you're kind of prioritizing Helen in this instance.

1:02:24Yeah. Like over me and my feelings. And like, at least don't let you, like, no, no, I guess her friends posted that pic. Yeah. She didn't post it. So she was trying to still keep it on the hush hush. Yeah. I mean, I think like giving Susan like a huge benefit of the doubt, I can imagine maybe like they were out for drinks, like maybe like boys then showed up. You know, I'd like to think that your best friend, Susan, was sat there being like, I really shouldn't be here. This is kind of awkward now. Like you've showed up and like, oh, this is really uncomfortable. I would like to think and she's in a bit of a sticky situation where it's like it's Helen's birthday now I'm here for Helen this is awkward like I'm not gonna tell Sarah because why upset her like for what yeah I think she probably knew that Gollum was gonna be there and her boyfriend was coming because it's Helen's birthday so it was like of course her boyfriend's gonna be there if Gollum's mates with Helen's boyfriend whatever she yeah no doubt she's probably sat there like you know Susan can't Sarah can't find out about this Sarah can't find out about this but it's still you obviously found out because you follow the other people it's still the fact that she she's still mates with Helen to be honest is Helen her friend at work are they workmates workmates but obviously they've took it outside of work yeah and I think that's where my issue would lie it'd be like she that girl is dating my ex and you're still mates with her yeah like that is the kicker yeah really that's what stings like and I know you said that oh yeah you could be friends with Helen but it's like by default she's gonna be hanging out with Gollum when she's with Helen or hearing about Gollum or what they're getting up to like you know so it's really disappointing that you're feeling betrayed essentially by your best mate because like usually the laws of girlhood is like well you hate who I hate she should have prioritised you over Helen yeah like you know but I also I've even like warned Helen like don't date him I know that's like that's your friend too's ex also he's a prick he's a twat he's a twat and he's our boss as well yeah he's a fucking weirdo like the fact that Helen's even gone there yeah so what should she do I think call her out be like look I saw Gollum was there um ew like don't like it babe like this is really uncomfortable for me like he was a prick and look I think I don't really know what because obviously I think because also like you Sarah are like a loyal friend to your core exactly like something something you pride yourself on like is how loyal you are to your friends and yeah it's really shit when you're like I would never do that to you like I pride myself on being the girl that would never do that and I'm now seeing that you're doing it to me like it really really stings the only thing like maybe this is an instance where like you are growing up and like you said like you are priorities have yeah shifted like you know who you are now your morals have aligned like you know what you stand for and what you don't and you know we've all drifted from friends as we've grown up like we've all had friends who we used to be really close with and now it's like I don't really see them anymore like it's so sad but maybe this is what is happening in this situation and until Helen and Gollum you're realising like we're not we're not really vibing anymore like I don't I don't like your behaviour it's a shame that you haven't broken up to be honest I'm surprised I've lasted a whole year if I'm honest me too it's a real shame they haven't broken up like I mean maybe just say like look for the meantime time while you're still hanging out with gollum like i don't have to just take a second because it's like causing me distress like it's causing me distress helen's lacking a little bit of empathy like maybe helen's never been dumped yeah maybe helen is like sorry your friend susan like maybe susan's never been dumped susan's lacking that empathy and that wherewithal about like how it feels to be heartbroken yeah and maybe she's kind of like oh aren't you over that by now that was ages ago like she's not appreciating how much it stayed with you yes and she's kind of like oh that was old news she's seen that you're with someone new now and it's like okay i can hang out with golem like she'll get over it but also maybe you're really forgiving of a friend yeah and she's thinking she'll get over it like yeah helen don't worry like sarah she gets over things let's just not post it let's just keep it hush hush and she gets over it like she's got a new boyfriend she can't be angry she's got a new boyfriend it's like no yeah that's not the point are you gonna call her out

1:07:19yeah maybe just say like I knew Gollum was there that night yeah so just be like oh I just hate it maybe you could just say to her you don't have to have all the answers but maybe you could just say like look I want to talk to you I want to be honest I am feeling like you've not really got my back right now like why are you laughing have you just said your word you said your word haven't you i didn't i just thought you know what you just said i just thought of something you're smiling to yourself and reach for your water what did you just say keep going you had a really great train of thought go on keep it going keep going keep going um yeah you could always just say to susan um i don't know what to do like this is how i'm feeling like i don't like this situation this does really affect me like i know i kind of mentioned before like i appreciate that you work with helen you're in that close vicinity but like i'm finding this really uncomfortable yeah and unfortunately like it is making me like question just say i just feel weird yeah just tell her how you feel you don't have to have a solution you don't have to decide whether you're going to cut her off or keep her in like just tell her how you feel and see what she says yeah just like i feel weird about it i don't like it you're hanging out with golem having a nice time like oh like see what she's gonna say and if she's like oh get over it i you're with someone new like it's like okay you don't actually understand how i'm feeling it's a lack of empathy or if she's like look if she's apologetic and understanding maybe we can you know fair enough okay yes okay i understand you know i guess you can't really control it if you know you're hanging out with helen whatever but tell what was your word?

1:11:25hey guys it's Paige from Giggly Squad 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.

1:12:05The 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.

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.

1:13:24But 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.
