We have stepped into Christmas and we are revelling. This week we talk about festive outings, movies, USA/UK period survival tactics, Gabby living on the edge of a house fire and there's even a wee story of our Iris in there for good measure.

We also want to invite you to take this survey if you fancy getting away for a girls trip with us next year! Can you imagine?! https://trovatrip.com/host/profiles/gabriella-5qgr5

Don't forget, you can get our Christmas Gift Guide extravaganza on Patreon for just £$5/£4 a month AND you'll get access to our extensive back catalogue of bonus podcast episodes where we share all our favourite things we're buying, eating, reading and watching!
