This week my FAVOURTE podcasting ladies are on the show... The Swish & Flick hosts - Tiffany, Megan and Katie. My goodness do I adore them. I don't think I have ever laughed as much in an episode - and I genuinely forgot we were even recording a podcast. It just felt like a catch up with three of my friends.. Which is porbably why I had to edit out about 10 minutes of us chatting about snowing and me showing them pictures of my son in the snow... which doesn't really work for the podcasting platform. But don't worry we did get back to HP! Enjoy!
