Hello, Georgie.

0:29

How are you today?

0:30

I'm very well, thank you,

0:32

Beth. How are you?

0:33

I'm very good, very good.

0:35

Today we are talking about mess.

0:39

Now, mess is when something is untidy.

0:43

I left my house in a bit of a mess this morning.

0:47

Oh dear, Beth. That's not very good.

0:50

I slept in a bit too long.

0:53

My kitchen is a mess.

0:55

There are pans on the side.

0:59

I don't want to think about it really.

1:01

Beth, that sounds disgusting.

1:03

Are you a messy person in general?

1:06

I like things to be clean,

1:09

but if there is a bit of mess, I'm OK with it.

1:12

But I try to sort out the mess as soon as I can,

1:18

but you know how sometimes you cook dinner, for example, and then

1:24

I don't do the washing up immediately because I want to eat my food hot,
