Another big milestone I walked into this weekend 164 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: that I had no idea what this part of life 165 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: is like. We don't have an equivalent in the UK. 166 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: Getting the dress for Ruby's formal next month. 167 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 3: Oh you don't have any type of formal or prom No? 168 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: Really, well, I think, do you that? 169 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: So you don't have a dance or anything? 170 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 2: No, not really like that. No, to us, it's always 171 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 2: seemed like an American thing, and then we came here 172 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: and you guys have got it as well. So Thursday 173 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: night was when she just changed my daughter. She was going, 174 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: oh my god, everyone's already got their dresses. They're posting 175 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 2: it that they're posting their dresses. People are commenting on 176 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: that I need to get the dress to post it. 177 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: I went, what's more portant getting the dress or getting 178 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: the dress and posting it? Posting it? I'm like, when 179 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: is it?

I went, Saturday, I'm looking. 182 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: We're looking for dresses. So I had to take around 183 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: various shops. Honestly, it was like Cinderella finding the Golden dress. 184 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: To find this formal dress. It's a big deal, isn't 185 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 2: The pressure on girls? Absolute? Yeah, there is a lot 186 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 2: of pressure. 187 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: But you wait. Then there's all the appointments to hear, 188 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: the nails, the tanning, all the stuff, the limo. 189 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: So well, I've said, look, why don't you go with 190 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: your dad? Right? Andrewy said he's terrible, he hates going shop. 191 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: And went, no, no, I'm great for two hours. You'll get 192 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: me one hundred percent for two hours. After that, I 193 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: have to go home. I can't concentrate. Can you guys 194 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: shop for more than two hours? 195 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: Same thing? 196 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 4: I'd shop once a year for clothes two hours and 197 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 4: then I burnt out. 198 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I find that my blood sugar levels get low. 199 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: It's like a phone battery. At the end of my 200 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 2: energy goes down. I don't know. I think it's that 201 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 2: the lighting in clothes shops, ladies close shop, the lighting 202 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: in there, it does something to my DNA which just 203 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: reduces it. So I did two hours and then she went, no, no, 204 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: you can't go home.
