Handbags At Dawn

This is the one where we get all fired-up about festivals, textual stimulation and clubs - food and literary festivals, you understand...and children’s books...and after-school clubs. We are in our thirties after all folks.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week our gorgeous guest, actress Anna Acton, produces a script, train ticket and baby spoon from her bag leading us to talk TV, share trials and tribulations of travel and weigh up the responsibilities of raising children in comparison with goldfish.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, our handbag brings forth a Mother's Day card, some bubble mixture and a brioche, giving us cause to pass on some maternal wisdom, try and fail to re-think children's birthday parties and mix it up with some French fashion faux pas.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, a guest handbag brings us lycra, a biro and a cuddly toy leading us to get all serious about sport, battle with balancing the boardroom with babies and self-soothe with stinky bunnies.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The handbag is on form, with the findings of a bulging wallet, anti-ageing cream and a school curriculum ordering our thoughts on organisation, forcing us to face up to our faces and pushing us to admit fearing intellectual subordination to our five-year-olds.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week, the handbag gifts us a child's picture, chocolate and perfume leading to us sharing tales of sadness from around the bin, tackling important biscuit-related issues and getting all serious about be-thong-ed backsides.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is the one where the handbag's offerings of a smashed iPhone, a set of car keys and a Valentine's Day card lead to discussions on Facebook overshare, acceptable levels of general mess and our love-hate relationship with socially-expected soppiness.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is the one where we find sweets, a magazine and a holiday brochure in the handbag, leading to us confessing to food hypocrisy, wobbling on fashion's knife edge and worrying about Ellie Goulding's boobs.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
