At least you didn't...

The penultimate episode of the series packs a lot of punches. Faking injuries. Sitting in baskets. Setting fire to dinner parties. What more could you want? It's basically another episode to make you feel better about your own life.

No Caroline this week! She's under the weather, and surviving only on mashed potato and the glory of some good news in the shape of a delicious new podcast award... Annabelle has been unintentionally harassing more unsuspecting members of the public, but surely can't be the only one this has happened to...? Can you put a smile on Caroline's swollen, quincy-riddled face to help her on her way to recovery? Annabelle has some thoughts to inspire your weirdest video messages which we LOVE receiving. See you next week - we hope - for business as usual (sorry in advance)!

Another deep dive into Caroline and Annabelle's sad little lives. This week, terrible dating schemes, awkward dances and anatomically incorrect graffiti.

This episode involves underwear, cockatiels and meeting the parents. What a delightful combination.

There is nothing less romantic on a second date than having to give your partner a topical cream for a microscopic bug that could be burrowing in his skin. Trust us. Caroline has been there. However awkward your dates have been, this date is pretty up there in the list of PLEASE GROUND SWALLOW ME UP moments! Also on this episode find out why Annabelle isn't allowed near dog owners anymore and why Caroline is the way she is.

Well lets see. This episode covers A LOT. Sexting, unrequited love, coach trips, generally weird behaviours and also massive gigantic swollen faces. If you are after a podcast that will make you feel grateful for your own life then this is it. Because thank your lucky stars you aren't Caroline or Annabelle.

Another episode that will make you feel great about your own life because at least you're not Caroline or Annabelle! Their lives are just a succession of embarrassing stories and awkward situations that are equal parts horrific and hilarious. This week, at least you didn't...underestimate your own girth...harass the wrong person...or introduce your parents to your new boyfriend, intimately...

Yes that's right. Kill a teacher. Apparently "the story isn't that bad" and "it could have happened to anyone" and "we won't get sued". Fingers crossed! We also discuss Caroline's postman and how breastfeeding and expressing left her (and him) pretty red faced. Plus Caroline learns a tough lesson about balancing weights.

Packed with more funny and embarrasing stories than you could shake a stick at.

And finally, we learn about how even the NSPCC can't help Caroline be a better parent. But goodness knows she is still trying...with the help of a dinosaur called Pantasaurus.

If you'd like to get your story onto the podcast, drop Caroline and Annabelle a DM on Facebook or Instagram /atleastyoudidnt

Hands down the most exciting thing for us about this weeks episode is our guest Ellie, FROM ACTUAL AUSTRALIA. Yes that;s right.

Caroline went on a date with her Mum and Dad. Then there's Annabelle who describes herself as a "passionate woman" but as we learn, what this means is she can't be trusted around men in uniform. And yes, that uniform does include the robes of The Clergy. Then it's over to you and your stories, or more specifically Harry Radcliffe who made a Christmas party VERY memorable (for all the wrong reasons) And finally, we end with "At least you didn't...send the worst drunken text message ever...to a member of an actual boyband" It's all going on!

Turns out it provokes them as she found out twice when on two separate occassions they tried to kill her. Annabelle tells the tail of an absolutely awful date she went on that also involves a near death experience - although thankfully not hers. Or his. And then finally Caroline did the worst thing you could possibly do on a children's playdate and yet somehow not only lived to tell the tale but managed to do so without ending up in prison. (no children were permanently harmed in the making of this episode!!) As well as all of those cringeworthy awkward moments we hear from listener Katie who managed to reveal a little bit too much on a family holiday to Kefalonia... If you have an "At least you didn't..." story, find us on facebook or Instagram @atleastyoudidn't and drop us a message!

Caroline Verdon and Annabelle Buckland are absolute walking disasters.

At least you didn't...humiliate yourself on national tv...flash a mountaineer...tell a lie that backfired...or try to school a Michelin starred chef Yes. Caroline appeared on national TV. In a documentary. Very much against her will. Unsurprisingly it revealed her making a fool of herself. Thankfully it didn't involve her getting naked but that's because Annabelle has the nudity covered in this weeks episode and all beause she got over excited on a long walk up Snowden. Tell a lie that backfired? Caroline. It backfired in a big way. Infact 30 years later and it's still backfiring! And finally a tale about the time Caroline met Michelin starred chef Raymond Blanc and forced him to eat a scone she'd made from instant potato flakes... If you're having a bad day, this podcast will DEFINITELY put a smile on your face because At least you didn't... And if once a week isn't enough for you then you can find Caroline Verdon and Annabelle Buckland on Facebook and Twitter, just search atleastyoudidnt and you'll find them regailing EVEN MORE stories from their disasterous lives!

At least you didn't... star in your own peepshow, make a fool of yourself at the gym or nearly turn your boyfriend into a eunuch. Caroline Verdon and Annabelle Buckland are disasters. And this episode proves it. No matter how bad your day/week/year is going, at least you can say with almost certainty that you've never accidentally starred in your own peepshow, made a fool of yourself at the gym or nearly turned your boyfriend into a eunuch. Radio presenters Caroline and Annabelle can't say this as these are tales from their actual lives. Guaranteed to leave you laughing (and maybe crossing your legs). Warning - this episode does contain conversations about Caroline's now husband's groinal region. If you're around small people you might want to pop on some headphones as the story is of a mature/medical nature! Please rate and review and follow them on Facebook and Instagram @atleastyoudidnt where you can share your own stories of woe!

At least you didn't...think you were famous, get naked infront of your Dad's mates or sling poo at a string quartet. Yes. Caroline Verdon worked for a local radio station and when she got her first job, she thought she was famous. All it took was a gym session to make her see the VERY embarrassing error of her ways. Accidentally letting one rip during a yoga class is NOTHING compared to this level of awkwardness. Not to be left out, Annabelle ups the ante with a misdemeanour involving her Dads mates, a desperate desire to have friends and a giant donut. And then yes. You read it right. Caroline accidentally threw poo at a string quartet. However you are imagining this having played out, the reality was worse. As you will soon hear. Yet again proving their lives are a comedy of errors. Please rate and review and follow the show on Facebook and instagram @atleastyoudidnt

At least you didn't...practice being a beautician on your own face, forget the fundamentals of running, or humiliate yourself infront of a Gladiator. This weeks episode is nothing if not eclectic! With lockdown getting to Caroline, she made the horrendous mistake to sort her eyebrows out. With terrible results. Annabelle on her quest to become a runner, got a stark reminder of why it is she'll never be one. To add insult to injury her mortifying moment was actually caught on camera and you can watch her catastrophe on Facebook at Instagram @atleastyoudidnt This episode finishes with a tale that you'll have to agree, could only happen to Caroline. It involves a TV Gladiator, a Tesco Express and a packet (or 3) of potato waffles. As ever this podcast is probably best listened to away from little ears. Follows/subscribes and great reviews are always appreciated! You can also share your stories with Caroline and Annabelle on Facebook and Instagram @atleastyoudidnt

Transcript Caroline Verdon 0:00  At least you didn't get naked in front of your dad's mates Annabelle Buckland 0:04  nearly get killed by a hippo, twice Caroline Verdon 0:06  flash a mountaineer  Annabelle Buckland 0:08  or sling poo at a string quartet. Caroline Verdon 0:11  Those aren't random terrible things by the way, that you just never want to do. Those are very specific things that sadly, the pair of us have actually done. Hello. Welcome to our teaser trailer for "At least you didn't..." podcast. I'm Caroline Verdon. Annabelle Buckland 0:25  And I'm Annabelle Buckland and together well we're just we're basically a pair of walking disasters, aren't we, Caroline  Caroline Verdon 0:32  We met years ago and bonded over this. We were both radio presenters and producers. And we were just having a little chat one day and realised that the pair of us had done some terrible things. Yeah. Annabelle Buckland 0:45  So what we decided to do was, rather than never, ever tell another living soul about all these embarrassing anecdotes, we decided to share them with each other, and in turn with you. On a podcast that actual people might listen to. So what we did was we wrote down all of our terrible stories on little pieces of paper, folded them up and put them in a little bag, kind of like the worst tombola in the world. We switched bags of each other, drank a load of gin, and then proceeded to take them out one by one and tell our tales. Caroline Verdon 1:16  Those stories that was so humiliating that it was awkward, even telling each other and that should definitely never ever see the light of day again, they're the ones that we then decided, yeah, let's, let's stick that on the old podcast. Annabelle Buckland 1:29  You're welcome. Yeah. Caroline Verdon 1:33  Hopefully they'll just make you smile and feel a little bit cheerier about your own life. We also did something very important. Because we're nothing if not professional. We wrote a theme song. Annabelle Buckland 1:43  Yeah, and this, this might be the most terrible thing that either of us have ever done. And I don't know if you can actually call it a song.  SONG 1:51  At least you didn't kick a baby, tried to snog the vicar. At least you didn't show the binman your knickers. It could be worse. Annabelle Buckland 2:03  Yeah, you were definitely the the lead on that project weren't you Caroline,  Caroline Verdon 2:08  thanks very much. I'm quite happy to take credit for that. So our episodes are released weekly, every Tuesday. And you can also catch us on the old social media just search for at least you didn't. Annabelle Buckland 2:20  What would be amazing,...
