How to Make January Less Sh*t
Ep. 177
•
Well, here we go again, it's January baby. Grey, miserable, cold, pointless, decorations have to come down, everyone takes up running for one day, resolves to be a completely different person and then gives up. Truly the worst month (sorry to all the Capricorns). But this time Stevie and Tessa are committing wholeheartedly to making January extremely un-shit, and profoundly excellent! Get in losers, we're making this the best month of the year!

297. How to Use the Washing Machine
32:12By request, Stevie and Tessa discover what the triangle symbol means and discuss what the drawers mean. There's also some lively debate around when you put the fabric conditioner in, don't say this podcast doesn't provide you with the most searing of hot content.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

35:41If you or anyone you know is running the London marathon (or any marathon) and would like to feel much better about your training: Tessa ran two marathons, one without much training and one without any. She didn’t die, she was quite angry at herself the second time, but this is crucial listening if you’re fed up of high performance sports podcasts and wish to listen to someone who has gone through many people’s (Stevie‘s) worst nightmare and come out the other side.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

How to Decide What to Have for Breakfast
30:37Morning! Bored of toast? Stuck in a cereal rut? Constantly getting overwhelmed and eating one single mini egg (this may or may not be Tessa’s experience)? Stevie introduces Tessa to the concept of an egg and to be honest it all just spirals from there. Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

How to Use an Excel Spreadsheet
31:51Today's episode is brought to you by Stevie, Tessa and the amazing Fi - a 'spacecraft thermal engineer'(!), podcast listener, and Excel champion, who offers her exceptional talents and guidance to two gals terrified of spreadsheets. A beginner's guide to Excel for the chronically afraid. A genuinely helpful episode (we think). Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

32:30Wanting to take the plunge? Stevie went freelance and Tessa’s never technically been employed - they look at the pitfalls and difficulties of being your own boss, as well as how you can make the transition from PAYE as pain free as possible (get an accountant).Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

34:00Stevie got a massage and loved it. Tessa gets them all the time for her stressed body. Together they offer advice if you’re thinking about going for the first time and, quite frankly, get far too worried about how to tell if your masseuse is going to give you a “happy ending” or not.

How to Organise Your Bedside Table
32:38Stevie brings a lot to the (bedside) table in today's existential crisis/light-hearted advice podcast. What is a bedside table? Is yours three apple crates stacked precariously on top of each other, too shallow to hold a book, and too narrow to balance a lamp? This is the podcast for you.Subscribe to the Nobody Panic Patreon at patreon.com/nobodypanicWant to support Nobody Panic?

How to Sort Your Life Out with Birthday Girls (Live at Cheerful Earful Festival)
41:23Tessa flies solo with 2/3 of the brilliant Birthday Girls, Beattie Edmondson and Rose Johnson! Tessa, unsupervised, forgets most of the things she’s supposed to do during a live episode and she and Rose give a good go at sorting Beattie’s life out. It’s a nice one.
