So, instead heres a list of somethings that I would consider to be superpowers and would 100% make my life easier. If you've got any mediocre superpowers that you think would be good or any genuine tips to make better use of my time then get me on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross
Hodgepodge, is first of all a great word, and the perfect one to sum up this episode. I started it a week ago but as I'll explain my plan got derailed.

Still trying to figure out how betting works, and where better to do that, than at the races. Mainly I was going for the excuse to dress up like but still educational. Also chatting this week about my unhealthy attachment to Radio One DJ's and my upset when they leave. As always please get in either on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross
Don't be silly, I don't have food poisoning. That would be sensible conclusion to come to. No, no.

Me and Laura thought it would be fun to jump on the hot girl summer bandwagon. But neither of us really ken what we're doing. We thought the best place to start would be with getting Tinder. Lol bad choices these people on this app terrify me. Don't get me wrong there are plenty normal folk on it but they are far outnumbered by the mental ones. So I'm using all their bio's as content, sorry to those folk. If you ken how to actually do hot girl summer or find any funny profiles then please send them to me Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross
Look who's managed to hurt themselves again. This week is very mixed bag and I do apologise for sounding like a weird therapist.

As always get involved on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross
It's about insurance and packing, but also insurance packing for holidays. Yes I am very proud of the title. Very happy with myself for it.

This is quite possibly one of the best ideas I've ever had! If it turns out to already be a thing I will be devastated, my literal heart will be broken. Seriously though someone get Mr. Spoons on the phone cause I think this will make all the money. But he might not want to work with me after causing a big scene in his pub last Saturday. Which yes, you will hear all about this week, even though it pains me to talk about. As always get in touch on Instagram @alyx_ross and Twitter @alyxc_ross
I'm almost over last weeks pain, aka not all. But I forgot about that for a minute to go on an odd rant about owning houses, cause mortgages baffle me.

Also chatting my mini disasters of this week, so if you want to get involved then get me on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross and tell me your disasters.
Serious call out for any data recovery specialists to help me. Honestly if it was gonna happen to someone it's gonna happen to me. And that goes for all this weeks chat.

As always please get in touch with any rubbish chat - cause clearly I've got lots of rubbish chat - on Instagram @alyx_ross and Twitter @alyxc_ross
It's my birthday!! Can probably tell I LOVE birthdays, make me dead excited. In honour of it being my birthday here's a story of one of the potentially stupidest things I've ever done - I know that's quite a high bar. Enjoy laughing my embarrassment and maybe I'll have something daft to say next week if I make a tit of myself again this year.

Get me on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross
Plot twist I've actually had things on this week - shocking. Which is good but also bad cause when I'm tired, the one brain cell I have leaves me. This week we're talking meeting idols, crying and losing my keys. Losing my keys is a constant in my life and as it turns out is usually related to drinking. So is it really my fault or is the drink? Probs both. As always please get in touch on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross
Heavy embarrassed I didn't know the numbers of layer there were in hell, feel like I really should have. This week has been a WEEK so I'm having a wine and speaking shite, so blame any mistakes on the wine. Also please for goodness sake stop cutting cakes with wine glasses PLEASE! If one of your layers of hell is listening to me speak drivel for hours on end then let me know on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross and I'll considered trying harder to be less annoying, maybe.
In one of my many unrealistic life scenarios, I often think about when I'm on Sunday Brunch. Sunday Brunch is the sole reason I make it through Sundays at all. So cheers Tim, cheers Simon for that. Honestly this week doesn't really have a topic it's just speaking nonsense - nothing new but still hope you enjoy. Please share your Sunday Brunch love with me on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross
I've had THE most boring week!! Honestly, I don't want to look at a keyboard any longer. So in attempt to entertain myself this week I've gone on a mad rant about how I think sharing a bed sounds like a punishment for a crime I did not commit. No, this does not affect my life, I sleep alone and don't have anyone that would need to share my bed but I feel upset by it. So, please if you agree then please let me know on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross cause I can't be the only one passionate about this.
This week has shown me I've spent too much time alone and I'm not ready to be a functioning member of society yet. Might need some lessons first. This week I'm speaking interview embarrassment and my one of my favourite work stories ever. Only me. Please let me know your funny work stories to make me feel better thanks. Instagram @alyx_ross and Twitter @alyxc_ross
Big week - I left the house to go somewhere that wasn't the shop! Wild I know. However that was only 1 day so the rest is ramblings of being trapped in the house.

This week has hit a lot of people hard. I'm definitely not the only person upset and outraged at the news this week. I still want this podcast to be about laughing but it's also important to speak about the bigger things.

Think I must of banged my head when I fell out the shower this week cause I've had a thought. Know what you're thinking, me having thoughts that seems dangerous. But I actually think it's a good one. I'm making a change to stop doing insta happy birthdays and I know I sound dramatic but I already feel better for it. Please let me know I'm not the only person who gets stressed about making them. Other than I'm talking more oven disasters and a hard for a certain type of birthday card.

I'm making a stand against something I hate with a burning passion - fun fact icebreakers. Who decided they were a good idea? And why? I've never met anyone who likes them, so I'm starting a campaign that we should all come together to get rid of them. This to this weeks episode to hear my convincing argument about it.

Happy Valentines Day! Call me a sap but I think it's a nice holiday to tell the folk you love, that you love them. Plus get to eat lots of food, what's not to like?? This week I'm also talking snowmen and doing youtube dance workouts. Don't think the postie was as impressed with my dancing as I was - personality thought I was Beyonce. Other than dancing like a dafty, I'm gonna be spending my Valentines getting dressed up to sit in the living and drink - any excuse eh. If you've got more exciting plans then let me know on Instagram @alyx_ross or Twitter @alyxc_ross

Turns out if you laugh at kids baking on Junior Bake Off karma comes for you - in the form of cheesecake. It's devastating, heartbreaking story of gal who just wanted to make a beautiful cheesecake. Swear I'm not meaning for this podcast to turn into a what I eat in a week podcast, but clearly all I'm doing at the moment is eating.
