"I was actually thinking about it recently. Footballers transfer to different clubs quite a lot, who helps with the housing and all that, because that's a big thing." Vick asks us

"We've been really lucky because both houses we've lived in, in London and Manchester, have been the first houses we've viewed." Less explains

"The club offer so much support too. We have like a, we actually just say she's our team mum, but she's actually like 25, and she sorts anything out for you which is amazing. She'll go and view places for you. It's funny, because Vic pelova, one of the girls on the team, she's not very clued on to electricity bills and tax bills and stuff like that, and Niamh, the girl at Arsenal, made her this huge folder with everything in it, colour coordinated and I was so impressed. So yeah, the support from the club is really good." I add

"It takes years to find the place that becomes your go to, doesn't it? When I moved out to Buenos Aires, Argentina, I must have looked on Craigslist to find a flat and the first flat I went to was in the red light district because I didn't know the area. Not like there's anything wrong with that, if that's where you wanna be. But it wasn't my intention. What do you look for when you are looking for a new flat or house? What are you into? What are you interested in?"

"A south facing garden." Ella answers straight away and we all agree. "That's probably top of my list. Not like you get much sun in Manchester, but when you do, you need the garden."

"Less, liv, you've mentioned that you have people round quite a lot, and that you love the atmosphere. Who have you had round since you've moved?"

"We had Vic round the other night, we made tacos. We had mum and dad round. We say we like having people round but it's mainly just my mum and my dad. We had Liv's sister and her husband round a few weeks ago. They travelled down to see us." Less begins

"We had Lotte round. She bought us a nice little plant, I mean how thoughtful is that? My mum and dad are coming next week from Manchester. It's mainly just whoever wants to come and cook really." I joke

"I'm glad you mentioned house plants. Keeping them alive is the Bain in my life." Vick tells us

"We had a house plant that I loved and I'd water it in the morning, and Liv, not knowing that I'd already done it in the morning, watered it at night. And then I wouldn't know Liv had done it at night and then I'd water it again in the morning, and we just kept doing it. So it was actually getting twice as much water. Eventually, it just stunk and we had to throw it out." Less says

"It started decaying I think. It literally stunk of dirty water." I state

"I have no plants in my house. They wouldn't last a day." Ella says

"Keeping a plant alive is tough." Vick adds and we hum in agreement.

"Ella, you've talked quite candidly on the pod about how much you love it here in London. Are you changing your mind at all?"

"I think it's just getting here that does my head in. But actually, when we were on camp not long ago, me, less, liv, grace, Mary and Millie went into London on our day off and did a bit of shopping and that was a nice day in London." Ella responds

"It's okay not to like it. I like it less and less by the day." Vick says. "Do any of you drive?"

"Yeah." We all say

"People say I'm a terrible driver but I just don't listen to them." Less adds, looking directly at me.

"I don't say you're a terrible driver, I just don't think you're the best." I explain

"You can't say much though because you don't drive a lot." Less says with a cheeky smile.

"Because you don't let me drive. You insist that you drive us." I tell her
