Of course, it took grinding away as a landlord and short-term rental property manager for her to see the light (the light of no tenants, toilets, or termites).With her partners at Flow State Investing, Susan targets Non- Performing note assets that have...

Getting all quotable this week...asking questions we have no chance of answering like ‘do quotes change your life’? Rebecca’s walking her own path and creating her own quotes. They will inspire you deeply ...to perhaps never listen to Rebecca Elliott again. Kirsty is a an every day living breathing quote, always sharing the deep and meaningfuls and yet can barely keep her bladder under control. Enjoy. x
2020-11-2057 minDon’t Laugh But...StupidityThis week we bring you our specialist subject... stupidity and boy do we put the stupe in idity...
We savour out stupid moments from being able to turn a phrase but having no clue where Denmark is (does anyone?) to questioning whether wind turbines run on electricity.
Kirsty does not so much push the envelope this week as lick it. Rebecca ponders on escalators to the moon. If you listen to this your IQ will go up just by the sheer comparison to these two and their meteoric rise to dimwittedness...
2020-11-1353 minDon’t Laugh But...DancingThe glitter balls are spinning through a glitterati of cha cha chatting around that juxtaposition that is feeling like the goddess you are whilst simultaneously falling backwards onto the dance floor and showing your knickers to your grandma. How has dance helped us move forward in our life stories ... from Kirsty wanting to break dance to Rebecca being all coy and pretending that she hates dancing until she’s asked and then you can’t drag her off... it comes to no surprise that Kirsty and Rebecca were never asked to dance at the school disco. We end like all...

We are slithering back into social media exploring our relationship with our own socials. We are so ridiculously excited to be back, so excited it made Kirsty moo like an elephant. Not much has changed, still making at best mediocre points with half-baked ideas and thrilling breaking stories like should Rebecca Elliott wear chinos? Only if they're men’s says Fb . We will be ambling around awkward corner, orally outlining our overheards and delving into our delightful new feature where we creep into Rebecca Elli...

Come sit with us a while. xx
2020-03-3002 minDon’t Laugh But...AmbitionThis week we amble through ambition, from those that come to fruition like Rebecca’s novel, to those that seem unlikely to, like Kirsty becoming David Bellamy.
Also features an alarming Vera Lynn impression, suggestions for loo roll alternatives including rabbits and kiwis and nostalgia for the days when the weather was the most interesting part of the news.
2020-03-2055 minDon’t Laugh But...GiftsThis week you get to unwrap and pretend to be grateful as we give you the gift of our words - though you may want to return a few.
Gifts, they come in many forms. Kirsty’s lack of privacy in a unisex changing room was not her best gift. Rebecca's best gift would be to remember that she got one.
And both agree that a 'No-Bra Day' is what every woman truly desires.
2020-03-1356 minDon’t Laugh But...HeroesThs week we holler about heroes. Why do we have them? What character makes you a hero? We discuss dangerously heroic acts like not flushing sanitary products, to the real heroes of the LGBTQ community. Does heroism have to involve dragging puppies from burning buildings or can it just be being kind and daring to stand out?
Also includes gusset talk, cheeky steam room noises and 'flesh pockets'.

Come join us. You’re very welcome.
Rebecca and Kirsty x
Real women. Real stuff. Real stoopid.
2020-02-2614 minDon’t Laugh But...MemoryThis week we meander and muse along memory lane, stopping to consider what memories shape us and which memories we would damn well rather forget. Kirsty shudders at the recollection of her swimming costume being flown as a flag on her estate and Rebecca at her skin-coloured knickers being revealed to an onlooking pub.
As usual we are educatied by our Butters' contributions - Forget the hospital when you're in need of an enema, aparently just go down a waterslide in spain. Enjoy.
2020-02-1457 minDon’t Laugh But...CheeseThis week we chow down on the challenging subject that is cheese. We question whether a fondue should ever be shared - naked? And address the shocking revelations that Kirsty *doesn't* like pizza and Rebecca *does* like the dirty plastic-wrapped burger cheese.
The salty cheese with a squeeky intensity - Haloumi - gets a mention - like it does at every sodding bbq. Our Butters rock up with with a smörgåsbord of cheese-related tales. As one of our Butters posted CHEESE IS LIFE.... we will let you decide.
2020-02-0752 minDon’t Laugh But...HabitsThis week we're discussing the horrible habits that hold us back and hinder us...from hitting snooze to holding your phone in higher esteem than your family.
Will Rebecca recover from essentially being a dog fluffer on one very bizarre day... will morning Rebecca ever be friends with evening Rebecca? Kirsty’s bad habits turn out to be many and varied...one is talking too much... I know we’re as shocked as you are. Then there's finding her own socks by the side of the road, being overly protective of potatoes and, a-hem, chewing her toen...
2020-01-2455 minDon’t Laugh But...TravelJoin us on our journey this week as we become trepidatious travellers. Trains, planes ... what could go wrong...? All kinds of crazy apparently.. from Kirsty’s light battering (which wasn't nearly as tasty as it sounds), to Rebecca's fear that the train toilet door will once again betray her.
As always DLB asks the important questions such as does Finland exist? Is the problem with travel the other travellers? And is Rebecca merely a figment of Kirsty's imagination? Enjoy.
2020-01-1755 minDon’t Laugh But...ResolutionsThis week we celebrate a new Don’t Laugh But decade by rambling our way through resolutions. Should we bother making them? Should Rebecca's be to dive into the dragons den with shoebuddies .com? Should Kirsty's be to stop obeying machines? Should Don’t Laugh But be your resolution?
We'll leave all these life affirming questions with you. In the mean time let’s throw all the boring resolutions out the window, grab the left over Christmas cheese and chocolate, pour a Gin and enjoy...
2020-01-1055 minDon’t Laugh But...ChristmasWe pull that cracker that is Christmas and enjoy the exploding drama, hugs, love, nostalgia; the damn essence of life that it is.
The Quality Street is judged, the condiments listed, the music incessantly sung, the importance of being free to do what you want whilst rubbing along with everyone, wearing paper hats and eating everything in sight is muled over along with the wine.
Our butters join us at the Christmas table and as always they are a very welcome guest, though, if anyone, it is the red plastic fortune telling fish that steals the show.
2019-12-201h 03Don’t Laugh But...Fate!We fall into fate this week. Is it fate, destiny, serendipity or all three? Are you meant to be doing something in the world? Or is it all random and haphazard (a bit like every week here at DLB)? Was it fate that Kirsty’s angry corner involved her seeing red only to find out that it’s actually her own brain that needs to be in her angry corner? Is it Rebecca’s puppy’s fate to always love to eat an entire sock? We’ll leave you, our lovely Butters, to decide. ‘Cos we haven’t got a clue.
2019-12-1351 minDon’t Laugh But...RestaurantsThis week we take you for dinner, lunch and a whole brunch of chat as we discuss restaurants...what’s not to love... getting fed and cleaned up by other people.. it’s one of life utter pleasures but how close should we get to the gems of humans that are waiting staff? .. Kirsty believes very close indeed. Meanwhile Rebecca gets excited about mermaids... surely they should be on every restaurant menu? Our butters join us at the table with their amusing amuse-bouche of restaurant faux pas ..
2019-12-0652 minDon’t Laugh But...GuiltThis week we grimace in the face of guilt. Who’s feeling guilty? NOT us...
Okay, now we're feeling guilty for lying.
Is guilt just a useless self-destructive angry inner voice that our other seldom-heard compassionate inner voice should politely tell to buggar off?
As always our Butters save the day with their beautiful, hilarious and often disturbing Guilty Pleasures including running with jazz hands, using butter as a dip and bra-warmed chocolate.
(Also includes Kirsty’s tales of a joyous recent smear test. You have been warned.)
2019-11-2956 minDon’t Laugh But...LaughterThis week we lay in the lap of laughter delving into how giggling, gaffawing and ‘PMSL’/‘ROFL’-ing (whichever makes you least nauseous) makes us more human and allows us to deal with the gravitas of horrendous situations with a bit of space and grace.
Our Butters - our wind beneath - lift us up with some of the most hilarious heartwarming stories of inappropriate laughter.
2019-11-2253 minDon’t Laugh But...Fame!We try not to be blinded by the bright lights of celebrity as we question whether fame really should be desired, and famous people valued above others.
We also throw a little glitter over the mundane with the excitement that comes from a random viewing of the great and good as our Butters share stories of sharing a toilet seat with Thora Hird, accidentally hitting Mel Gibson when dismounting a cow and sharing a hot tub with Robert Redford.
Also includes indepth discussions on the dumbing down of the whoopee cushion and how to cope with poop shaming.
2019-11-0857 minDon’t Laugh But...StressThis week we don’t sit by the rivers of Babylon but instead dive right in to the tempestuous sea of stress that is first world 21st century living. Is life really so overwhelming or do we bring it on ourselves? Is stress sometimes a good thing? Would it help if we collectively admitted that we’re all just shutting our eyes, putting our foot down and hoping for the best?
Whether it's the small things (Kirsty by her own admission could ‘catastrophize a bag of crisps’) or the bigger things like winging it at parenting and suffering eco-guilt that make you wa...
2019-11-0155 minDon’t Laugh But...Weddings Part 2We try not to faint, fall down or poop ourselves as we stumble down the aisle of expectation towards our wonderful Don't Laugh Butters and their hilarious tales of eventful and often downright disasterous weddings. Also covers zip-up underwear, Rebecca's disturbingly alluring french accent and Kirsty's award-winning John Wayne impression . So put on your hat, fight your way to the canapés, and join us as we 'spoon the vicar'.
2019-10-2455 minDon’t Laugh But...Weddings - part 1This week here comes the bride and all things wedding related...we get lost in the no mans land that is the the wedding ceremony - should oversized Jenga ever be involved? Wedding rules; are they necessary or should we all be radical and do exactly what we want? Why are men getting to do all the speeches? Should the bride be made up to the extent that no one, including the groom, recognises her?
The bigger questions are not left untouched like will Kirsty learn to suck apples or get the chance to slide across the d...
2019-10-1850 minDon’t Laugh But...School DaysThis week we’re walking those stinky school corridors again, re-visiting the highs and lows and the down-right butt-clenchingly (or otherwise) embarrassing moments we all experienced...
We ponder over whether Kirsty should have been able to keep her shaved initials in her hair or Rebecca was actually well within her rights to be smoking in the school toilets.
Our Butters share their most hilariously embarrassing school moments. Why is school a dystopian nightmare for some...a festival of delights for others?... we don’t know but we spend a lot of time talking about it.
2019-10-1154 minDon’t Laugh But...DietingThis week we ravishingly eat up all things diet related ... why do we so want to believe in them.. even the ones that make us smell like cabbage and eat deadly worms, when they seem to have the power to make us all unhappy? In our desperate attempts, filled with shame and judgement, to eat less and punish our bodies do we perhaps forget that food is life and life is fun, and that perhaps inside every thin girl there's a fat girl trying to eat her way out?
Also features the joyful mental image of...
2019-10-0454 minDon’t Laugh But...DisabilityIn a conversation that Kirsty rates 5 stars (but then she’s easily pleased), we swallow back the fear of offending and frankly getting things all kinds of wrong and delve in to the issues surrounding disabilities.
Why when 1 in 5 people in the UK are disabled aren’t they similarly represented on our TV screens? Are disabled people fed up with being either pitied or held up as heroes? Why isn't everyone valued and deemed to be exactly enough just as they are?
And why isn’t Kirsty suitably impressed by Rebecca’s Stephen Hawking story?
2019-09-2653 minDon’t Laugh But...PartiesThis week, now with the help of our lovely listeners - the ‘Butters’, we line up the shots and vol-au-vents and discuss the very best and worst of soirees and shindigs. Should other people clear up at your party? Is there too much pressure on NYE to ever enjoy it? Will Kirsty ever leave the buffet table? And what should one do if a guest gets her breasts stuck in her zip whilst another is eating a frozen snake? Whatever the answers may be there's no doubt this is THE place to be, and you’re all invited. Bring a bott...
2019-09-2055 minDon’t Laugh But...WomanhoodWhat does it mean to be a woman? Is it ok to draw any distinctions between the genders? Are women supportive of each other? Is it insulting for a woman to be referred to as a ‘girl’? Does Kirsty’s new ‘serious’ voice mask our inabilities to grapple with such a weighty subject? And when oh when will we hear a woman fart in a movie?
2019-09-0653 minDon’t Laugh But...IdentityWho are you? A question of course initially posed by renowed philosopher Roger Daltrey. This week we also ponder the issues of identity; How much of ourselves die when our loved ones die? How much of our identity is lactated away when we become a mother? What should you do when you wave at someone then realise it's your own reflection in a mirror? And will Kirsty ever be able to say 'unfathomable'? Whatever you do, the conclusion is clear - just be yourself. Unles you're a twat. Then try being someone else.
2019-08-3054 minDon’t Laugh But...BewilderedRebecca and Kirsty merely scratch the surface of their known unknowns; the stuff they simply do not understand, from gravity to the hangy bits in t-shirts, from LinkedIn to the evolution of monkeys who decided they couldn’t be bothered to turn in to humans... If you’ve ever felt ignorant, give this a listen. It will give your comparative intelligence one hell of a boost.
2019-08-2355 minDon’t Laugh But...Summer HolidaysSix weeks of being grounded with the whole family, or maybe you’re lucky enough to brave the airless hell-hole of anxiety that is the airport so you call yell at your kids to ‘stop wielding stuff’ in a whole different continent.
Whatever your summer holds, we’re here for you, discussing the hidden perils of mashed potato on a long boat, finding out you were matched to your painfully dull exchange student Helga because of your similar personalities, and testing your marriage to breaking point on a kayak in alligator-infested waters.
Let us audibly spread sun cream on those h...
2019-08-1648 minDon’t Laugh But...FriendshipJoin on us on the beautiful journey that is friendship as we plait each other’s hair and have feathery pillow fights yet still make time to take a detour into the similarities between parents and bras. We rip in to what bonds and ask, is it the friends who smell together stay together? If you’re a friend in need, we are your friends indeed...
2019-08-0852 minDon’t Laugh But...What if... part 2The excitement continues in this much anticipated part two of Kirsty and Rebecca tackling life’s most fundamental ‘What If’ Questions. This week we battle to keep things clean as the discussion varies from the giant sweaty ‘spoon beast’ that emerges when canoodling in the heat, Rebecca’s distracting cleavage, and an honest answer to, ‘what if you woke up as a man, what would you do?’
2019-08-0148 minDon’t Laugh But...What if...? Part 1This week Rebecca and Kirsty discuss vital 'what if...' questions. Delving into the fear of pooping in Space and tackling the merits of a good wine like Shnuffly Du Blanc. We don’t even shy away from exploring the gravitas of whether Edam deserves to be considered a cheese and the mind blowing fact that out bodies will never actually turn into a cup of tea...enjoy.
2019-07-2646 minDon’t Laugh But...MoneyThis week Rebeca and Kirsty embrace that taboo that none of us like talking about - MONEY. That elusive stuff that buys you more stuff so you have to keep buying bigger stuff to keep your stuff in.
They say it can’t buy you happiness and in this case they’re absolutely right because this 50 minutes of joy comes at you for free. So sit back and let us make a sizeable deposit into your hole in the wall. Enjoy.
2019-07-1856 minDon’t Laugh But...EmotionsEmotions run high as Rebecca and Kirsty discuss their deepest feelings on ridiculously happy people, crying in public, over-sharing, over-analysing, anxiety about yoghurt purchases and the distress caused by leaving bite-marks in the cheddar.
2019-07-1153 minDon’t Laugh But...SleepGet your silk pyjamas on, slide around the bed and audibly spoon us as we discuss the time-travelling, mini-death weirdness that is sleep .
2019-07-0454 minDon’t Laugh But...BeautyThis week Rebecca and Kirsty discuss beauty; from the unattainable ideals put on us by societal pressures, to the simple beauty of a fart in the bath. Enjoy, all you beautiful people.
2019-06-2748 minDon’t Laugh But...BeliefsThis week we throw caution to the stinky wind and discuss the potentially polarizing subject of beliefs - from Rebecca’s childhood belief that she was a star of a TV show where viewers could see her farts, to Kirsty’s conviction that God would love a roast potato. Covered with equal moronic incompetence are questions of fate, aliens, God, politics, conspiracy theories, freewill, astrology and past lives. The only issue actually settled is a mutually agreeable solution to the vital ‘aitch/haitch’ debate.
2019-06-2052 minDon’t Laugh But...ClothesThis week we talk clothing, discussing everything from puffer jackets looking like bin bags to the stress of changing in shops with the curtain and mirrors of shame; from actively ignoring the advice for dressing for your body shape to whether it's ever possible to look sexy in a cardigan; and ultimately agreeing that if we can find a clean pair of knickers in the morning, we're winning at life.
2019-06-1454 minDon’t Laugh But...FailureThis week we tackle head-on the familiar beast that is failure - from exams to over-enthusiastic eyebrow maintenance, from driving tests to epic cookery fails leading to grisly (or should that be grizzly?) birthday cakes, from parental guilt to weeing yourself in Iceland, we've all been there (well maybe not that last one). Failure is a part of life, so do you keep picking yourself up and trying again or at some point do you say, 'do you know what, this isn't my thing but I managed to get out of bed this morning and that makes me a...
2019-06-0749 minDon’t Laugh But...The GymThis week we go, reluctantly, to the gym and flap our bits at others in the changing rooms before leaving a sweaty triangle on all the gym equipment, farting in the yoga class and peeing in the pool. Come join us. It might not sound appealing but we promise you’ll feel better afterwards.
2019-05-3049 minDon’t Laugh But...AgeingAgeing - something to detest and delay as long as possible or something to embrace and value? Rebecca and Kirsty verbally meander through the good and bad of ageing, from saggy boobs and loneliness to the joy of an early night and streaking through the house when you've forgotten your pants. If nothing else they ultimately prove that the wrinkles and grey hairs don’t matter, as stupidity is ageless.
2019-05-2449 minDon’t Laugh But...QuestionsThis week we take a break from the very in-depth discussions we normally have (!) and instead answer random questions which send us on a conversational journey from Descartes to floating ribs to accidental sexting and cakes that provide their own fluids.
2019-05-1649 minDon’t Laugh But...Social MediaRebecca and Kirsty take a 'stroll' through the good and bad that make up social media; including Kirsty's relief that you're no longer shown actual holiday photos but instead can click 'like' and pretend to have seen them, the horror that is the 'friendaversary' and Rebecca's worry that if she ever goes missing she'll never be found as all her heavily filtered photos look nothing like her .
2019-05-0948 minDon’t Laugh But...MoviesKirsty and Rebecca twatter on about the films that excite us, scare us, stay with us, make you laugh and cry and how zombies don't care if you wet yourself. Also includes an uncanny, if disturbing, Morgan Freeman impression. Enjoy.
