PARENTING COMEDY SHOW SCUMMY MUMMIES PERFORMING LIVE IN NORWICH - EDP 6 FEBRUARY 2018

'The duo celebrate the scummier side of parenting, from drinking wine at teatime to hiding from the PTA' Sophie Wyllie

Trying to find a pic when I was feeding, because I wanted to mention @sian_breastfeedingpractitioner and the cafes she runs at @rowanhouse. Basically I went to meet a friend there last week, and came into a room full of mums and their tiny, tiny babies. When you’re struggling with babies, feeding, sleep, confidence, energy it is so so hard. Getting out to a thing seems hard but is better than staying at home I found. So what Sian is doing is brilliant on 3 counts, one she is offering feeding support at the free clinic, two, you can just sit and chat, in a safe, warm, clean place (with yummy treats from @aldis_sons). Three, she does home visits too, which are also a godsend as feeding your baby is the most important thing and waiting isn’t always an option. I certainly don’t think feeding is intuitive and specialist advice definitely, definitely helped us. If you know a new mum (doesn’t matter if first, second, third baby), let them know about @sian_breastfeedingpractitioner 🙌🏻❤️ First and third Friday every month 10-12 xxxx Thanks for letting me hang out Sian! X PS I think I’m looking pleased in this pic for finally getting the hang of the baby carrier. Tired times!
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to @theannaedit, look at her gorgeous book baby! Can’t wait to read it. Still not got round to editing a corner of my home for her competition 👀. Just wait til the Christmas holidays! I will be editing like mad (or watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). Tickets to meet Anna herself AND @erica_davies are in my bio, in Norwich at @jarroldsnorwich Thurs 31st Jan, gorgeous @norfolk_gin cocktail on arrival 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 pic from @theannaedit
Tree up (Will lobbing decs at the tree, Sophia being v v v protective of the way it’s decorated 👀), husbands work do (I won the casino, didn’t realise it was a competition and kept putting all my coins on so I could extract myself but kept winning! Sooo much skill😝), late late night, early early start, gift wrapping, bday party, train to Santa with family and in bed at 20:30. Got a big *new work thing this week, please wish me luck 🙏🏼😬👋🏽 🤹🏽‍♀️Pic via @mamadisrupt #enjoytheforgetfulmoment #sundaynight #decemberfamilylife #downtime #mindfullife #iwish #learningtheropesoffamilylife #mumlife #motherhood
Who wants to talk gin this Friday? I’ve distracted myself from almost weeping at the comments on @mother_pukka latest post about inflexible working 😭, to being much more positive about lovely gin. I’m so pleased to have @norfolkgin on board as a sponsor for the “Edit your Life” event with @theannaedit and @erica_davies. Love a gin😜. And I love small businesses too, especially when you can just see the passion, craft and dedication poured into them. So here’s a little shout out for them. I approached Jonathan last year when planning the Hurrah for Gin event, as you know, it was about gin. He totally got it, and gave me an original canvas piece of Norfolk Gin art which lucky @thenightfeed won. 🍸🍸🍸🍸 At the event on the 31st Jan, every guest will receive a Norfolk Gin cocktail on arrival, amazing! (There are still tickets available as we’ve already moved into the larger room as Benjis sold out overnight!) 🍸🍸🍸🍸 We should be really proud that Norfolk has such a strong gin making crew. Norfolk Gin is artisan, created by Jonathan and Alison Redding in their kitchen. Every batch is still made by hand in the gin studio, and the beautiful bottles are designed to be treasured, re-used or re-filled. Aren’t they beautiful! 🍸🍸🍸🍸 Just in time for Christmas, they’ve launched gorgeous little 10cl mini decanters (swipe👉🏽). Currently exclusive to Jarrold (‪until the 17th December‬) at £18.50 these make a great stocking filler or Secret Santa gift for any gin-thusiast. Find the bottles in the @jarroldfood hall. 🍸🍸🍸🍸 ‪After 17th December, the mini decanters will also be available at selected independent retailers in Norfolk, including @goodiesfoodhall (Diss), @beersofeurope (King’s Lynn), Arthur Howell (Wells-next-the-Sea) the @norfolkdeli (Hunstanton). ‬ 🍸🍸🍸🍸 Happy Friday people! Send me your Friday night tipple of choice on stories (you deserve it! Tough time of year for some), even if it’s a squash or a cuppa. And if you feel you might like to get a bit more organised in the new year, check out the next event, tickets are in the link in the bio😇, thank you, thank you.
When you’re accidentally praying for something whilst being wrapped up in loo roll by your delighted five year old. #toomuchparentalparticipation #kidsparties #errrrmwednesdaywetotallygotthis?!
It’s #smallbusinesssaturday....just a little reminder of the incredible brands in the Norfolk Gift Edit✨👏🏼🙌🏻 🌿 This carefully curated edit has been created from a chance conversation about the incredible toys Natasha @nimmynook_wood makes around her kids, and then maybe we could showcase some of the other brands being built in our community. 🌿 There are other ways to support small businesses too…it means the world when you recommend them to your friends and family, and when you follow, like and comment on their social media posts, more people become aware of their brand. 🌿 Please send the link to this guide (in the bio) to partners, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends and pick out things for your own Christmas list, thanks so much🙏🏼🌿🙏🏼 Featuring: @vivandjoe @twelvekeysgin @jl_laurar @thecandlebrand @samjames_themumcoach @rowanhouse @puddleduckbooksnorfolk @norfolkmudkitchens @louisethomasskincare @cherished_heart_jewellery @carolondonuk @barryalanhairsalon @allthediscos @rhubarbandteal @emilygrayphoto @little.dottie.designs @nimmynook_wood @petite_verte @littlehotdogwatson @palmandsolenorwich @thepilatesstudio_norwich @littleliefje @catherine_jeans @gigglinggnome @mummanmore @my.one.heart 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
Such a fab room full of almost 300 women and three men last night, thank you everyone for making it OUT OUT, and huge huge thanks to @scummymummies for a reality check, such a funny funny show and I’m sure you can tell they are so so lovely and professional and normal! Loved the walking in the air sketch, the MIL and things about Christmas that really f me off (I can’t swear!! My mum might see 😂😂) like missed parcel deliveries 🤯, the Christmas fayre (got our first one next week), being with our families, secret Santa and Round robins, loved the babybel hat (you prob have to be there?!). “Congrats” to Queen Jess😂. Huge thanks to gorgeous theatre @norwichplayhouse lovely to work with you again, and to Sarah @sedg7 and Lisa who were roped in to collect confessions 🙌🏻. Without getting emotional (you know those weeks👀) there is something so WONDERFUL about Helen and Ellie, they smash up the stupid ideals that are somehow in our heads. MUMS YOU ALL ROCK. Have a fab Christmas tour Scummies and thanks for coming back to Norwich, we ❤️ you! #scummymummiesforTV PS my skirt was from the fabulous @thedomesticbazaar from @fash_reboot you need to DM her those who asked 😘👌🏽, and also thanks to the brands in the Norfolk gift guide who treated H and E, @allthediscos @carolondonuk and @palmandsolenorwich and @nakedwines for the plonk 😘😘
🎄💃🏽👯‍♀️JUST IN CASE you didn’t see your emails...lovely 300 guests of the @scummymummies tonight... Thank you for buying a ticket to see The Scummy Mummies Christmas Show! Please forward the ticket to your friends if you bought tickets on their behalf 🙏, if they arrive separately, they will need a copy! Just a quick note to let you know the plan for the evening. Now- Playhouse Bar is open now, so meet as early as you like 7.40pm - Doors open 8.00pm - Show starts 8.40pm- Interval 9.00pm Second half begins 9.40pm - Scummy Mummies will be selling their books and merchandise. Your ticket was sent to you in an e-mail when you paid, please show your ticket using your phone (no need to print it!) SEE YOU LATER 👋🏽😝
TOMORROW woop🙌🏻🙌🏻 Today’s #wegotthiswednesday is all about ELLIE GIBSON. Who is coming to NORWICH tomorrow. No, you’re excited!!! So Ellie, tell us a bit about yourself and your business... I am one-half of comedy double act Scummy Mummies. We tour our live show all around the UK, and also have a book and podcast. Our main hobbies are swearing, drinking, laughing, and arguing about whose turn it is to pay for the Nando's. What is your MOST embarrassing parenting moment? Interviewing Jane Garvey from Woman's Hour for our podcast while breastfeeding my son. I didn't realise he had fallen asleep and she had to politely inform me that my tit was hanging out. How do you juggle motherhood, with your business? Badly. It does help that Helen and I both have young kids, so we understand if someone's child is poorly or if they're just too knackered. We work really hard, but we are lucky in that we love our job, we have great support from our husbands and families, and we have a shared love of red wine and lying down. Thanks Ellie. Can’t wait to see you again at your sell out show @norwichplayhouse tomorrow night! (There are a couple of tickets being sold on if you’re keen!) @bbcwomanshour @scummymummies #parentingtruths #parentingfails #youhavetobloodylaugh
