I genuinely felt I was birthing a 2nd child out my bum with that poo! Who’s with me?
"The big knickers I still wear occasionally because THEY ARE SO COMFY! (Sorry Gorks) an example recipe and one of my favs is this pumpkin soup. 8 mins prep and you can make loads for those nesting days cosy at home."
