Three coffee machines. A 3am bottle. A 5am stealth mission in the dark. Holly Wainwright, Jessie Stephens and Em Vernem walk you through everything that happened before they sat down for our 9am meeting.

Plus, Em’s phone update has been quietly sabotaging her alarm and a dream about a cockroach has ruined her entire day. Then Holly shares the cockroach story that proves dreams can come true.

Also, why Jessie wakes one of her twins at 3am on purpose and which baby has just learned to crawl like a drooling little snail.

And, Holly confesses to sneaking into a hotel car park hours before check-in plus the one part of her week she refuses to give up.
