BONUS My First Proper date, He's called Barrie Island??

In today’s episode, we kick things off with a quick reminder about Clare’s Law—the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme in England and Wales. It’s there to help you stay safe by letting you request information from the police if you’re worried about a partner’s past. A simple search for “Clare’s Law DVDS” will give you everything you need.

Then we switch gears and dive into the fun stuff: my legendary dating nicknames. From Thermal Curtains to Seven Foot Man, my friends and I had a name for everyone. Today’s story? Barry Island—my first-ever date at 19

in future episodes, you get to choose the story: Seven Foot Man, Thermal Curtains, Robo‑Arm, Bob the Car Man, or The Rock Climber.

And don’t worry — the Catfish story is coming later in the year. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
