First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who has sent us questions, dilemmas, and your hilarious dumb bitch stories — we appreciate you so much! You’ve genuinely kept us entertained, and we still can’t believe people actually tune in to listen to us rant and ramble about work. From popping up in people's spotify wrapped, to the personal DMs we receive complimenting our episodes - we are incredibly grateful. Thank you. We hope we'll be back, but we're not sure yet. So for now, thank you for all your support, and best of luck becoming grown ups! Lots of love,Ellie and Meggiex Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
