can’t remember, but I DO receive a yearly “wasn’t sure what to get that you can eat! Wait can you eat eggs? You’re not vegan, right— Just no meat? OHH thank god! *almost has a heart attack*“ monologue (also.. my experimental g&t‘s I politely make for everyone even though the target audience is ME)
We're nearly there #SecretSantaAoNZ just two more sleeps (unless you're a midnight opener)
How about a question? What's a must have food? Ham? Turkey? An apricot in the stocking? Shortbread? Brandy cream? Trifle? BBQ? Seafood?

Me to the uncle who definitely didn’t have gunpowder tea gin and earl grey elderflower tonic with minerals from the Swedish highlands as a drink option during the eras of Muldoon and Rogernomics: “Ohh not your thing? You‘ll just have a beer instead? More for me, I guess!! Ha ha oh no tee hee“

This was a lie because I wasn’t actually drinking it… It was just a bottle that was left unrefrigerated for too long after being opened and then started tasting like J*cob’s Cr**k bc it got too sickly sweet
“Fuck you, Jacob… and FUCK your creek” I say as I drink the most disgusting wine I have ever tasted

Mum just suggested “that unauthorised book about Jacinda” as a gift for the grandparents and that has given me the idea to get her actual book for the WHOLE family just as a pisstake

I’m literally doing them all a favour bc most of my family have a hoarding problem and need to downsize so why would I wanna get something that’s gonna add to the clutter??!!
Everyone is getting booze this year, and if they don’t drink, they are getting 0% bc I wanna acquire points on my rewards thingy at Glengarry…. Merry WIIFMmas 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 (”What’s In It For Me”)

To give said aunties credit, at least they’re a little bit more original than “when are you getting married and having kids?” …but I should name this list “how to never get asked how much you weigh or when you’re gonna have kids at family gatherings ever again”
Here are some questions/icebreakers just in case any of the aunties ask me “do you still believe in god?” “do you drink every single day?!” “how much do you weigh now?” (or any other totally appropriate and non invasive questions!!!) at this year’s family christmas again. Feel free to steal😄

“Character house” …and the character in question has been stripped away by white paint and a couple of cushions with tacky inspirational quotes... look, I should start a podcast where I publicly shame people who do this
This little rant about the minimalism epidemic/modernisation of old houses was brought on by me location hunting for a shoot… It’s meant to be for a wealthy family in the 60s/70s, not for a pinterest mum in 2025

I do like minimalism and angularity over swirly whirlies etc etc but art deco/modernism and also mid century….. not the abomination that is live laugh love kmart minimalism, that lots of mums seem to fall victim to these days
I know taste is subjective yada yada yada etc but…… how can anyone, on ANY planet, think that THAT is better than THIS

Nothing more atrocious than seeing a victorian villa with freshly painted white walls and ikea furniture.. or an art deco bungalow with a “live laugh love” cushion or “life’s a beach🌊” sign from kmart
Idea for one of those real estate/home renovation reality shows: The host (a hard-done-by brit… or me bc I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THIS) goes to old houses that’ve been modernised and fallen victim to the minimalism epidemic and reverses the renovations by making them look old again

Being vegetarian for 5 years but saying I make an exception just for salmon makes me sound like those old men in youtube comment sections who’d go “I‘m NOT gay, I’m STRAIGHT… love my wife of 50 years.. but David Bowie is a very attractive man and if he asked me to have SEX with him, I‘d say YES …..”

YESSSS!!! The playlist was a hit….
Labour conference update: got roped into helping with the auction and I think the fact that I made the DELICIOUS playlist that’s on right now, and also wrote the hilarious item descriptions makes up for the fact that I probably did an absolutely atrocious job at pricing the auction items shhhh🫣
