The Kettle's On

The kettle is back on today and it’s simmering away today. We have Georgie back joining Ella this week with Tea of the Week chat including why a girls book trip is a GREAT idea and how excited we are that Celeb Traitors is back on our TVs.

Stories this week include cheap friends/acquaintances sour over wedding invite being declined, a tale of pantsing which took a wild turn with an update 1 year later, an entitled aunt getting married but  not happy with the outcomes of decisions she's made, a brother causing issues for the family and ending on some good old icks.

The kettle is back on today and it’s simmering away nicely. We have a slightly different episode this week as it’s my first solo ep! My lovely lovely friends who usually join me were a little busy with life recently so I had a go on my own and ya know maybe its a good thing I can chat to myself for so long and maybe it’s a bad thing…. You’ll have to let me know?

Stories this week include a childhood bestie getting uninvited from the wedding last minute from an insecure bride, a man spouting shit about weddings right to the face of the bride and groom and being somewhat upset about it? A gal finally getting shown the true colours of her boyfriend and acting APPROPRIATELY, a brother mad about his brother prioritising recovering from cancer!? Then in a twist and turn being called out for more disgusting behaviour and after all that a nice little wholesome story to round out on.

So put the kettle on and cosy up with us for the tea

(00:00) Intro

(02:45) Childhood besties turned no contact

(12:55) Men and their opinions…

(26:21) Possessive, toxic boyfriend 

(35:38) Mad at brother for having cancer??????? 

(51:56) Wholesome goodness!!!

*TW abortion* One of the stories this week does revolve heavily around a woman’s experience with abortion - I have marked this on the time stamp and given an audible warning but please skip if needed. 

The kettle is back on today and oh it’s piping hot.

Stories this week include being rich doesn’t always mean happiness, a RED FLAG husband who I don’t think even likes his wife, concert etiquette going out the window, a confidential conversation overheard, a toxic ex ruining sibling bonds and the classic ‘ol ‘invisible’ boundaries in relationships. 

So put the kettle on and cosy up with us for the tea.

are they good!?

Stories this week include a DoorDash petty revenge I wish I could do tbh, mums favouring sons and first born daughters reaping the consequences, a chronically late friend who might just be too late to the party, dating triangles but really there's no triangle, a husband and wife who shouldn’t really should be - the red flags just keep going and of course ending on some icksssss!

The kettle is back on today and she’s bubbly. We have Tess back joining Ella today with Tea of the week chat including men actually being nice to a gal just trying to get back into golf & a glow up in the ‘studio’ and merch!?!?!?

Stories this week include a repeated story (oops) about an engagement dinner turning into the reason a gal now might have an ex-fiance, mums and sons causing issues, a guy walking on eggshells around his wife and her tests and wondering if a 45 minute Five Nights at Freddy’ power point presentation is maybe a little too long?

So put the kettle on and cosy up with us for the tea.

*A quick side note,  I apologise for the audio on this ep. There was a tech issue and my laptop completely wiped so I lost the audio files so apologies for the increased background noise which is mostly Betty.

**Another quick side note for those of you with ears like a hawk that have listened to the last ep, you may have noticed one of the stories sounded quite familiar.. As in its exactly the same. In a first I have repeated a story but I hope you enjoy Tess’ take on it! 

(00:00) Intro

(01:58) Some men are alright

(09:26) Studio glow up

(14:58) Engagement dinner turned into an ex-fiance…

(50:19) Is 45mins too much for a Five Nights at Freddy’s powerpoint presentation?
