Initiation (Vol.6, 1983)

from My Mum's Bad Diaries · host Jenny Ackland and Lilika May

Is it possible to spend a whole 20 mins chatting about MESS? We say yes, absolutely. We open up by talking about the problem of 'stuff' and our ongoing inability to find specific 'stuff' in the mess. I'm on the melatonin hunt (a big jar of gummies has gone missing) because I'm off to Europe and need them for the plane! I also can't find half of my travel stuff. Mum suggests it might be in one of my top cupboards at home: I'm happy to report yes it was!And this episode, I find out we have 10,000 downloads which is pretty exciting, despite me always wanting to rationalise that they aren't full episode listens, but anyway...We start the reading and mum is at Inverloch with friends, and getting used to having a man's body in her vicinity. There's a 7-11 hunt for, specifically, noddles and/or Mac'n'Cheese. A trip to Richmond Family Planning Clinic -- for thrush meds and the pill -- and a 3-bedroom house in Glen Iris for $45 a week. Crazy talk.Slowly things are progressing with pain and blood. So medieval. Mum develops a cold, she waiting for a cheque for $100, still reading Agatha Christie, and that's the episode. This is part 1 of the reading. Enjoy!As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit.Follow us on Insta @mumsbaddiaries and thanks for listening!We'd love to read your comments or questions!
