But you've also told me 26 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: about that amazing fish dish that you make. Oh stop 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: from off. 28 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, people are obsessed with it. Okay, So first things, first, 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 3: watermelon margaritas. They're red. Garnish them with mint. It's very festive. 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: That's festive. 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: We'll post that in the group this week. And then 32 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: also the fish dish. Everybody I've told about this recipe 33 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: is always like, oh cool, thanks, and then they make 34 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: it and they call me and they're like, Victoria, this 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: is actually amazing. So it's baked fish, right, is this 36 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: what this episode's going to become. It's just like Victoria's 37 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: cooking show. Are you ready? All right? Well, I told 38 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: you last episode that it's rustic. This is all so rustic. 39 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: It's like more thrown together the better. You get a 40 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: jar of red curry paste. You get a can of 41 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: coconut milk and some desiccated coconut, so like shredded coconut. 42 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: Incredible. 43 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: You mix those things together because that's what makes the paste, 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: so it'll be like quite thick. You don't put all 45 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 3: of the coconut milk in, You just like put a 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: little bit, so it's like creamy red curry. You pack 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: it on top of fish or tofu or chicken, and 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: then you put it in like a foil container that 49 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 3: you've made, so like wrap it in foil and seal 50 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: it at the top. So you've got like maybe some salmon, 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: and then you're like red curry paste on top, bake 52 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 3: the fish. Your house is gonna smell amazing. Two people 53 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 3: think it's like a real fancy fish. But then three, 54 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: you can just put like real quick rice with it, 55 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: maybe some greens on the side, and you come out 56 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: looking like master chef. I mean George at Changin, they 57 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 3: definitely make the curry paste from scratch and they like 58 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 3: bake it in a banana leaf and all of this 59 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 3: other fancy stuff. But I'm telling you, everybody who has 60 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: had my salmon recipe is always like Victoria. That was 61 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 3: like the best hack ever. Everybody writes home about it. 62 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: Do you want to get into the episode? Though? 63 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: We should? We should? That was a little bit of 64 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: a digression. 65 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: I'll put that festive fish recipe into the Facebook group 66 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: this week as well, because everybody needs it. 67 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: So, I mean, the moral of this tangent is that 68 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: you're quite the entertainer, and you're. 69 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: Also and I'll also give all my recipes away evidently 70 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: exactly exactly. 71 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: But you're also good at money, am I? Because you're 72 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: a financial advisor and an entertainer guru. 73 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 3: Look, I'm good at telling people what to do with money, 74 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: but given my current spending habits in the lead up 75 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: to Christmas, you probably wouldn't say, oh, that girl, she's 76 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 3: good at money. 77 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: Do you think that there is an added pressure at 78 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: Christmas time when it comes to entertaining to like really 79 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: up the anti and make those events extra special. 80 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: I feel like there absolutely is, and I feel that 81 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: pressure as well. I'm not saying it's pressure. I think 82 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: you just want to make it really special for other people. 83 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: You really want everybody else to have a really beautiful time. 84 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: And from my perspective, sometimes that is about making a 85 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: really pretty Christmas table or by putting out a tablecloth 86 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: when you don't usually do that, or having like Christmas 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: crackers on the table. Like I'm someone who adores entertaining, 88 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: and for me that makes it Christmas in a way. 89 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that we want to up the ante, 90 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: but it does increase the price. 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's it. I wanted to ask you how we 92 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 2: actually figure out how much we should be spending on 93 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: these special days, Like, obviously we need to set out 94 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: our budget and know exactly how much we can spend 95 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 2: and try not spend over that. How do you suggest 96 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 2: that we kind of make that really clear in our 97 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: mind before we go ahead with our planning. 98 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: So financial advisor Victoria says, probably don't spend extra on 99 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: things that are unnecessary, like don't go out and buy, 100 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: you know, festive napkins. Don't go out and buy things 101 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: that you're only going to use once and then potentially 102 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: throw away. I'm not saying don't do these things if 103 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 3: they spark your joy, but from my perspective, I have 104 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: tried over the years to be really thrifty with what 105 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 3: I'm purchasing. So at Christmas time, I don't have different 106 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: place mats and napkins. I just have white ones. Yes, 107 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: they're material ones because you have to be fancy. But 108 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 3: I bought a pack of twelve bells, like you know, 109 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: those little gold ones that hang on your Christmas tree. 110 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: George yeah, gorgeous. 111 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 3: So I bought those, and I use the Christmas decorations 112 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: as the type, and the napkin and I do that 113 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 3: every year, so like they're already in my house, Like 114 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: I'm not going to use something I don't have. I 115 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: also every year go for a little bit of All 116 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 3: Wonder or Christmas Morning and drag back some gum leaves 117 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: and stuff like that and decorate my Christmas table with that. 118 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 3: So I do try to be quite thrifty. But it's 119 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: really stressful when it comes to maybe you hosting Christmas 120 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: for the first time, or you feeling like there's additional 121 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 3: pressure to actually making something festive. But from my perspective, 122 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: it's not about buying something that is festive. It's about 123 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 3: maybe using what you have and giving people a really 124 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: cute experience. 125 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 2: So kind of you could almost like map out what 126 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: you already have to provide and then things that you'll 127 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 2: need to buy, and then kind of create a list 128 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: of your spending limits, yeah. 129 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: And like thinking about what you could potentially use that 130 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: you have at home, but also what's feasible. Everybody has 131 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 3: different budgets. We're not all in the same financial position, 132 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: and there's literally nothing worse than stressing out about what 133 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: we're going to have to buy. So if it's not 134 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: in the budget to have decorations. Just don't have them. 135 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: I promise nobody's going to walk in and be like, 136 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: oh gee, I cannot believe that you have not got 137 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: festive napkins. Nobody cares. They're just excited to have your company. 138 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: This is pressure that you're putting on yourself. Nobody else 139 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: is going to expect it. But I think when it 140 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,799 Speaker 3: comes to working out what our budgets are, we really 141 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 3: need to work backwards. So going, okay, what is the 142 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 3: total I'm going to spend on this? How much money 143 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: can I allocate towards this, and breaking it down from there, 144 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: because if you go, oh, I've got thirty bucks on this, 145 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: twenty bucks on that, it's all going to add up 146 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: really quickly and you won't notice that you've already gone 147 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: over your budget really quickly. 148 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so start from the end. I like that. 149 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, start from the end. It sounds counterintuitive, but I 150 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 3: promise you it is not. Is the smartest way to 151 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 3: budget for anything. 152 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: Love it. Okay, So for today's episode, it's a little 153 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: bit of a different structure.

But as we move through these different elements, 162 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: I want you to kind of explain how we can 163 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: keep our costs down as well as minimizing waste, kind 164 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: of going back to what we spoke about last week 165 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: to make sure that that's still really front of mind. 166 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: So I wanted to start with the funk shue. 167 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know if I have funk shwe at 168 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: my Christmas table jee. 169 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: Well, you already said that you've got the little bells 170 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: on the napkins from home, so you're already one step 171 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: ahead of me. 172 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: There's a very big difference between feng shui and styling, but. 173 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: You know what, I'm locking them all into the same 174 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: stunning bucket. So talk to me about funkshwe slash styling. 175 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: Okay, So important thing is obviously like making a little 176 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: bit festive if you can, I would suggest using an 177 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: old tablecloth or borrowing one from a relative or mates, 178 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: or looking at op shops I'm telling you right now, 179 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: they have so many good linens that nobody is appreciating. 180 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: They often have literal linen that is really expensive. I 181 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: adore linen same. I have just recently got the I 182 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: love linen sheets, which ones lin I got the white 183 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 3: sheets with the clay colored bedspread. I'm obsessed. It is 184 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: so pretty. Anyway, I'm just obsessed with linen. But if 185 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 3: you buy linen sheets, you know they are one worthy investment, 186 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: but to not the cheapest investment. Worth it, but not cheap. 187 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 3: So opshops are a really great place for picking up 188 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: things like napkins and tablecloths. But also you could just 189 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: do a little bit of a dupe use a white 190 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: sheet like no one is going to notice, I promise you. 191 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: And how many people here in Australia don't even use 192 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 3: the flat sheet. They just use the fitted sheet with 193 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 3: their doners because they're psychos. 194 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: G I am counted in that little group of psychos. 195 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: Do you use a sheet? Who doesn't use it? 196 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: I just thought, who? I just thought everybody used a sheet, 197 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: But apparently it's not a thing and people just put 198 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 3: their sheets in their cupboards, Like why buy a sheet set? Then? 199 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 3: Why would they sell you a sheet set with like 200 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: a flat sheet if you guys aren't going to use it. 201 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: I didn't know they did that. I just buy my 202 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: space sheet from like kmart and then have I love 203 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: linen on top. It's a weird fusion anyway, V let's 204 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 2: move on to from sheet chat sheet chat. 205 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 3: But anyway, you can use a sheet instead of a tablecloth, 206 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: and I think that's really smart because I reckon some 207 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 3: people listening are going to be like, you're right, I 208 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 3: have a flat shehet. I've never used multitasking. 209 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: We love it, brilliant, brilliant. So that's your base. Where 210 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: do you go from there? 211 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 3: I think you have fun with your cutlery and plates, 212 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 3: leaving space in the middle for dishes to be placed. 213 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 3: So I think that when you're setting the table, actually 214 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: putting out your cutlery and your dinner plates and stuff 215 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 3: like that can make it look more fancy without you 216 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 3: having to buy stuff. And when you're like stile it properly, 217 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 3: you can look up some inspirational photos. But when you 218 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: style it properly, you'll have your glasses up the top 219 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 3: and it'll just look really fancy already, and then you 220 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 3: can leave like space in the middle and you can 221 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: put down like your serving plates, and if you're a 222 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 3: bit like me, you can go for a walk and 223 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 3: pick up some native plants or some gum leaves or 224 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 3: some trees from your area, or maybe you're actually just 225 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: going and picking flowers from your garden, but you can 226 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: pop them on the table and they will look really 227 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: rustic and cute and organic. And I really like that, 228 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: Like often I much prefer that vibe then, like here's 229 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: a beautiful style orchid, like I don't know, just feels nice. 230 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 2: That vibe is very in right now. 231 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: I feel, yeah, exactly, it's it. But also Victoria likes it, 232 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: so obviously that's really important. Oh for sure, for sure 233 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: the vtick of approval only gosh, don't even. 234 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: And what are your thoughts on like having a matching set, 235 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: a matching dining set? 236 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 3: I guess v I mean, that's a pretty privileged thing 237 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: to have, Like I definitely don't. 238 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: We have three plates that are the same and the rest. 239 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: I'm very lucky in that I purchased plate semi recently 240 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: and now they match, but historically they didn't. But I 241 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: think that's a galctic. That's cute. We're going to keep 242 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 3: going with that vibe. Least we've got plates. 243 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 2: Hey, well that's it. That is it. 244 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 3: And if you want some more matching ones up shop, 245 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 3: I promise you the amount of good quality stuff people 246 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: throw out it baffles me. 247 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you can find more unique, quirky things 248 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: as well.

Anyway, you can always buy fairy lights online 325 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: or even those candles that don't actually burn. They're just lights, 326 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: so they're essentially never ending, which is very good but 327 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: essentially we love. But what I would be doing if 328 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: I was looking for some new lights is just popping 329 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 3: on eBay and having a look if they have them, 330 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: because you're arguably going to get a really good deal 331 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: on there. So I would recommend looking at those things 332 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 3: before you buy brand new ones. 333 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: Love it. What are your thoughts on a Christmas tree? V? 334 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: Because some people are going to say they're essential for 335 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: my parte and it it's look festive in here. What's 336 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: the Christmas party without a Christmas tree? I don't know 337 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: do people say that? 338 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 3: Not sal am I going to sound like a terrible 339 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 3: person by saying I have a plastic Christmas tree here. 340 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: No, I've had it for the last. 341 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: Like seven years. It probably it's probably about time to 342 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: get a new one. But I bring that maybe out 343 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: each and every single year and I adore it. But 344 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 3: people love real Christmas trees, and I guess the good 345 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: news there is they are arguably better for the environment 346 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: than plastic ones. 347 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: Well they're better because they grow in the ground. Oh 348 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: my god, thank you for that contribution. 349 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: No, but like obviously there are emissions and minimal they're 350 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: like putting out more. They're putting out oxygen and stuff 351 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 3: for us, So that's really good. 352 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: I'm actually so embarrassed that I just said that on 353 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 2: the podcast. 354 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 3: I'm not embarrassed. I think that's actually quite funny. But 355 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: I get really upset after Christmas about how many Christmas 356 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: trees I see on the nature strip, like not yeah, 357 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 3: it just feels like yeah, it just feels like an 358 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 3: expensive tip trip to dispose of them as well. But 359 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 3: I think this segment's actually a really good place for 360 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: me to bring up my mum again, because she is 361 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: the queen of Christmas trees. There have been a million 362 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 3: different Christmas trees in my family historically. One time she 363 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 3: got a giant gum tree branch. We went to the beach. 364 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: She stuck it in the stand and put decorations on it. 365 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 3: She'll be like, kids, that's the Christmas tree, and I 366 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: was like, great, no problems. Another time she got an 367 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: old piece of corrugated iron and she cut out a 368 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: Christmas tree shape and spray painted it all silver so 369 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: it didn't look rusty. We called that the Christmas tree 370 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: that year. Another time she got a branch and stuck 371 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 3: it in an old terra cotta pot and filled it 372 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 3: full of plaster of Paris. Like it was literally just 373 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 3: a branch, no leaves, nothing, filled it full of plaster 374 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 3: of Paris and then spray painted the whole thing and 375 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 3: we put our decorations on that that year. There's been 376 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 3: another time where she literally like made one out of 377 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 3: I can't even remember what it was. I think it 378 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 3: looked like a basket, but it wasn't because she'd made it. 379 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 3: It was wild anyway, my mum. 380 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 2: She's so crafty, is jewe. 381 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: Judy is the queen of craft and I really appreciate it. 382 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 3: I lack the creativity she possesses, but I've seen people 383 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 3: get really creative with their house plants, like just use 384 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: your fiddle leaf feet, Oh for sure, put some decorations 385 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: on that, and various other house plants are obviously going 386 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 3: to work really well. I reckon a bird of Paradise 387 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 3: would look absolutely chic with a few decorations hanging off it. 388 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: They are a festive plant, that's for sure. 389 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. But I don't think everyone needs a Christmas 390 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 3: tree that's shaped like a Christmas tree. It's more about 391 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: the vibe and coming together. And I also think it's 392 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: kind of a talking point. If you found a really 393 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: big branch out on a walk one day and said, 394 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 3: I dragged that all the way home and it became 395 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 3: my Christmas tree. Like I just really like that because 396 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 3: it's just making the most of the things that we 397 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 3: have around us. I mean when I say drag a 398 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: branch home, I don't mean steal it from somebody else's 399 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 3: front yard. But maybe have a think about how you 400 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: could be creative this Christmas. Because if having a real 401 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: tree isn't for you, you could probably find something that's alternative. 402 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: But if you do want to buy a plastic one, 403 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 3: I genuinely would consider buying a more expensive, better quality 404 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: one that you'll for years, or that you could sell 405 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 3: on eBay or something after if your preferences change or 406 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 3: you decide later on that you do want a real tree, 407 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 3: because I know the Christmas tree that I have I 408 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 3: actually bought on eBay ages ago because it was on 409 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 3: sale and I couldn't afford the real one. I think 410 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: it was like a David Jones tree or something, and 411 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 3: someone had bought it and I bought it after Christmas 412 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 3: and had to wait an entire year before being able 413 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 3: to use it. But I reckon, gee, if I chucked 414 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 3: that on eBay today, it would still sell because she's 415 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 3: in good condition. I'm telling you right now. 416 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: Well, that's what we love about Christmas trees is they're timeless, 417 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 2: especially the plastic ones. They're not going anywhere. 418 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 3: I still love her. She's not going on eBay anytime soon. 419 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 3: But if you're looking for a tree, maybe you could 420 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 3: find one the same way I did. 421 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 2: Stunning. Let's go for a break. Let's go to a break. 422 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 3: What do you reckon? 423 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: Let's do it. 424 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 3: See you on the other side, guys, Vickid. 425 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 2: Food is the next piece of this stunning puzzle. What 426 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 2: are your suggestions for keeping costs down on that front? 427 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: I feel like it probably is the most expensive element 428 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 2: that we're going to be faced with. 429 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: Always the most expensive element. Yeah, food and alcohol. Alcohol 430 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: always adds up, especially if you're expected to take a 431 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 3: bottle of wine to every single event you go to. 432 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 3: And then I don't mean to sound selfish when I'm 433 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 3: saying this, because I'm absolutely not meaning it to be selfish. 434 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 3: If it's a gift, obviously you're gonna leave it there. 435 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 3: But if you're just buying booze to take to a 436 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: party like Sage, where you go to a barbecue, you 437 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 3: go out in the backyard and you chuck your booze 438 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: into the ski with everybody else's and then you leave. 439 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 3: Most of us don't pick up the booze to go 440 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 3: home with you. 441 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 2: No, I feel like you can't. 442 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: Then it's like left at the person's house. Yeah. I 443 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 3: just I feel like it's a social faux pas to 444 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 3: take things home that you brought to somebody else's house. 445 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 3: I'm not saying you can't. I'm not saying you shouldn't. 446 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: I just oh, for sure, for sure you can't. You 447 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: just can't, like you can, but you can't. 448 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 3: So I just I feel like that adds up right, Yep. 449 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 3: But as I said earlier, ask people to bring stuff. 450 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 3: Ask people to bring a plate. G We touched on 451 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: this in our twelve Saves of Christmas episode expects you 452 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 3: to whip up a three course meal for twenty different people. 453 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: So ask that everybody brings a little something that they 454 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,479 Speaker 3: can plunk on the table when they arrive, something that 455 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 3: my family does as well. I feel like my family's 456 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 3: going to listen to this episode, if they even still 457 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 3: listen to my podcast, are they going to listen to 458 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 3: this episode and be like Vase, stop talking about us 459 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: like we are done, Stop sharing everything about our Christmas. 460 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 3: We don't like you talking about us, But on Steve's 461 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 3: side of the family, we always pick a theme and 462 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: I love it. So a couple of years ago, we 463 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 3: had Mexican Christmas where everyone got given a dish that 464 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 3: they had to bring, so like we had on Trey, 465 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 3: somebody else had Maine, someone had sides, but they all 466 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: had to be Mexican themed, and I thought that was 467 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 3: really fun. So why not that's fun pick a theme 468 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 3: for Christmas. Why do we have to be traditional about it? 469 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 3: Because then we can go all, right, well, this year 470 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: we're going South American and we bring different things that 471 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 3: ultimately are all going to go together because they're from 472 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 3: a very similar cuisine. So that worked really well. Also, yeah, 473 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 3: Cole's magazine, What about them? I'm obsessed with them? Have 474 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 3: you seen the recipes they give you? Have you seen 475 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 3: how good they are? They actually are full of epic recipes. 476 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: They are free at checkout, Like this isn't sponsored by Colds. 477 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 3: I've never even spoken to the team at Cols, but 478 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 3: oh my gosh, their Christmas magazines are so good and free, 479 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: and every time I flip through them, I'm. 480 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: Like oofed, oofed. 481 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: I love that, Like it makes me want to cook 482 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: so if you're a bit stumped of what to bring 483 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: to Christmas, next time you're at the checkout. I don't 484 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 3: know if Foolis do it. Surely they do something similar, 485 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 3: Yeah they would, they would. But next time you're at 486 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: the checkout, have a bit of a peruse, see if 487 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 3: the free maga is there, because I guarantee it's got 488 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 3: a better trifle recipe than your nanosgy. 489 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a hot tip. That's a hot tip. 490 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: You know. I only realized quite recently that like the 491 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: reason that Coles produce those magazines is so that you 492 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: buy the brands in the store. Like the brands would 493 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: definitely pay to be in that magazine. 494 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 3: Right, that makes sense, really, I just thought they did it. 495 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 2: They're not just like Christmas about like. 496 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 3: Roast chickens, Okay. 497 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: Running along like cheese. 498 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: Let's move away from coals because do you know who 499 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 3: our favorites are, obviously because we've worked with them before. 500 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: But we're also like massive stance of Audi Eldie. Yeah, 501 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 3: Audi cheese platters. If you're going somewhere, put your twenty 502 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 3: five dollar limit on yourself, go make an Audi cheese platter. Again, 503 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 3: not sponsored, just good, but they do make cheese and 504 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 3: stuff like that so much more affordable. And I feel 505 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 3: like cheese platters or charcuterie boards as they're called, are 506 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 3: really expensive to put together. And I always feel a 507 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 3: bit of a pang when people are like, oh, they 508 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 3: could you just bring like a cheese platter or something. 509 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 3: You're like, oh, that's expensive. 510 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 2: Wah yeah, oh for sure, so annoying. 511 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 3: But if you go to Audi, you can whack one 512 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 3: together for much cheaper, and I feel like that's a 513 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 3: money win and it's quality. 514 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: It is quality. 515 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: How many brand shout outs are getting given in this episode? 516 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: Gee, that's true, mate, you should have partnered you should 517 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: have partnered up. 518 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 3: They're not paying us for this. We're just very generous 519 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 3: this festive season. 520 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: Let's move on to booze now, Vikiita, you did hint 521 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: earlier that that is maybe as expensive as food, if 522 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: not more. How do we make this more economical? 523 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 3: I at this time, I feel like there's a few 524 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 3: cheeky tips and tricks here. One of them is cocktails, 525 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 3: and I know that that sounds more expensive. But if 526 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 3: you make up a big batch, so say you're making sangria, 527 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: you can do this. You can use a cheaper alcohol, 528 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 3: and it tends to go further than just a bottle 529 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 3: of wine. Yeah, so if you've been asked to bring something, 530 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 3: you can make up a cheeky vat is that the 531 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 3: right word of like sangria or like my watermelon margaritas, 532 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 3: which I know I talk about a lot, but that's 533 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 3: because when I'm entertaining, or usually do like a cocktail, 534 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: because it's actually more economical to feed everybody that comes 535 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: to my house a watermelon than it is to feed 536 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 3: them straight to kuiler. I'm telling you that right now. 537 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 3: But also you can just use the cheapest ticula because 538 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 3: it's like, watermelon is ninety percent sugar anyway, so you 539 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 3: can't actually taste it as much as you could taste 540 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 3: it if you were like drinking just a mixer like 541 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 3: a gin and tonic or something where you're kind of like, oh, 542 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 3: I may as well buy the nicer gin, because like, 543 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 3: you can taste it. Right, I'm not saying that that's 544 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 3: a good thing. Obviously, we all should probably be considering 545 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 3: cutting down our booze intake because it's better for us, 546 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 3: but we could also if we are still drinking and 547 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 3: we are thinking about what we can take g you're not. 548 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 3: We're fans of La Mule. 549 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: Oh we've shared a couple of glasses once or twice, 550 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 2: haven't we ever? 551 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 3: The stunning, stunning rose from Audi and they also have 552 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 3: a whole selection of other boos that is arguably very 553 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: affordable and very delicious. And for the people who have 554 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 3: messaged me being like, oh, I'd never buy Aldi wine, 555 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 3: yes you should. They win awards, they win literal awards 556 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 3: like Le Mule rose is one of the only roses 557 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: I like, and I'm not a rose drinker, so. 558 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: I feel like that says a lot that Yeah, exactly right. 559 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: So I had this little ideav tell me if you 560 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 2: think it's a good eat, all right, what is it? 561 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: So you ask everyone to bring with them their own 562 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: ingredients for a different style of cocktail. So, for example, 563 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 2: you could be on the watermelon mark, so you bring 564 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: your watermelon and cheap to killer. I'll be on the 565 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 2: pina coladas, so I'll buy the pineapple. 566 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 3: I love a good peanut colada, precisely. 567 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 2: And then we've got variety and it's fun. Everyone has 568 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 2: a little turn at the bar making their version of 569 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 2: the drink. Like that's fun, right, I actually share the 570 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: costs around. 571 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. I also think that at Christmas time, if you're 572 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 3: going to go out for a meal, we should be 573 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: trying to find places that do be way out. 574 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 2: That's a good idea. 575 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 3: So like, if you're going to go out for dinner, 576 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 3: let's find the type place that lets you take a 577 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 3: bottle of wine with you. That's a money win because 578 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: you can just take lamule one, just take it from. 579 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 2: Out it it goes where you go. 580 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 3: Let's move on to gifts, George, because I feel like 581 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 3: we are starting to sound like stinges. It's probably because 582 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 3: we are, like, I just don't want to give that 583 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: idea out too often, you. 584 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 2: Know, agreed, agreed, okay V. So what would you say 585 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 2: are the best ways of keeping the costs down when 586 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: it comes to gifts? 587 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 3: Okay? I have written down two ideas here. The first 588 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: is one you have heard from me before, and the 589 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 3: reason I'm telling you again is because I know you 590 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 3: haven't done anything about it. G Organize a KK. Obviously, 591 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 3: buying for everybody is going to add up, so I 592 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 3: suggest using a KK to keep the prices down. So 593 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 3: if you've got like a Christmas party coming up and 594 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: you're like, oh my gosh, I'm going to this big 595 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 3: friend Christmas party like everybody's buying everybody gifts, or I'm 596 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 3: going to my family's place for Christmas. Float the idea 597 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 3: and group chat and be like, hey, should we do 598 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: KK this year? There are literal websites that do it 599 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 3: for free and allocate it all out so you don't 600 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 3: even have to do the hard work of matching people. 601 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 3: It'll keep the costs down. You will be more sustainable 602 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 3: in your gifting because one you're buying one thing, but 603 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 3: two you're now spending slightly more on a better quality present, 604 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 3: but you're still saving money, which we like, and obviously 605 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 3: at Christmas time, saving money is priority from me. 606 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: Obviously, definitely, definitely. 607 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 3: The second one controversial controversial in what way because it's 608 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 3: about regifting, So okay, so bear with me. Gee, I 609 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 3: feel like this is like controversial, not controversial. If you've 610 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 3: been getting around and having a few Christmas parties or 611 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 3: having a few people over for drinks, or doing a 612 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 3: lot of festive things this year, more than likely your 613 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: friends or family have brought bottles of booze or flowers 614 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 3: or chocolates as a thank you for hosting, which is stunning. 615 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 3: I love it, but don't be afraid to regift those 616 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 3: items if you've got other events like the next day 617 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: that you might be attending, because it's better for the 618 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 3: environment and it saves you. And I feel like, and 619 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 3: this might be again another controversial opinion, Gee, when somebody 620 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 3: gifts you something, it's like the thought and the actual action. 621 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 3: From my perspective, it's not necessarily about the item having 622 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: a lasting presence in your life. And I know that 623 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 3: that's probably not the way everybody else thinks. But the 624 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: item has served its purpose when it was gifted to you. 625 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 3: So say I gave you like a jewelry box, ge 626 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 3: and I was like, hey, gee, here's this jewelry box. 627 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 3: You unwrap, You're like, well, v thank you so much. 628 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 3: That gift has served its purpose. Like you felt valued, 629 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: You felt like you were thought of, You knew I 630 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 3: picked that just for you. So that gift, according to Victoria, 631 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 3: has served the purpose that it was intended to. Like 632 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 3: I gifted you something, you felt really nice about it. 633 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 3: Then take a step back and George, you're looking at it, 634 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: going wow, really beautiful jewelry box. I already have a 635 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 3: jewelry box. I don't need another jewelry box. Yes it's beautiful, 636 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 3: but that gift has actually served its purpose. I don't 637 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 3: think I would ever be mad if I found out 638 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 3: that somebody regifted something. Yes, it might be you going 639 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 3: far out of bloody hate this present. I'm going to 640 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: gift it to somebody else. But I would like to 641 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: think of it in a bit of a reframed way 642 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 3: where you liked that present enough to not donate it 643 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: to charity because it was bad and you just needed 644 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 3: to get rid of it because you'd never gift it 645 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 3: to a friend or family member. But you were like, wow, 646 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: I have a jewelry box. Here's this beautiful one that 647 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 3: I think my friend Jessica would adore. Like, I just 648 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 3: feel like that served its purpose and it's okay to 649 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 3: regift things. I know that not everybody is going to 650 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 3: be with me on that, but I just think it's 651 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 3: more sustainable. I think it's a really smart thing to do. 652 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: And I also just feel like when we give gifts, 653 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: it's not so Georgia King has the jewelry box forever, 654 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 3: if that makes sense. 655 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 2: What happened though, V, So you I gave you the 656 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 2: jewelry box, No, I gave you a box. So okay, sorry, 657 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: you gave me the jewelry box. I was like, oh, 658 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 2: not to my taste, but you know he will love this. Yes, 659 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. Huge. You go to Jess's house and you're like, heyes, 660 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 2: oh god, oh I've seen that before. Oh God, that's 661 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: the jelly box I have. George, Then you think I'm 662 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: a rooty patuity. 663 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 3: I mean, you've actually got to be smart about it. 664 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 3: I think that it just gets a bit savage if 665 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 3: you're regifting things because you genuinely don't like them, you've 666 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 3: got to go all right, like, why would I givet 667 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 3: a present I don't like to somebody else? Like that 668 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 3: just seems a bit rude from my perspective. But I'm 669 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 3: very much about a gift serving a purpose. So if 670 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 3: I gave you a jewelry box and you already had one, 671 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 3: gifting it to somebody else I don't think is offensive 672 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 3: in the slightest. But I think it's all about the 673 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 3: semantics of it as well, Like you wouldn't be like, hey, 674 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 3: they thanks, I use that as a present for someone else. 675 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 3: I think you've just got to have a little bit 676 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 3: of nous. And obviously at some point George I'm going 677 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 3: to go to Jess's house, so probably not the perfect 678 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 3: person to regift that too, but a friend that I 679 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 3: don't know, I'm none the wiser. It served a purpose 680 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 3: for me. I felt really good giving you a gift, 681 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 3: and it served a purpose for you. You didn't have 682 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 3: to purchase a gift, right. 683 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: Brilliant win, A controversial the perfect place to leave it today. 684 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 3: I'll see myself out. If anybody's offended by that, look, 685 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 3: I get it, But I just genuinely think when people 686 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 3: give gifts, it's about the thought that counts. It's not 687 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 3: about the item being in somebody else's possession forever. And 688 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 3: how do we Yeah, anyway, I'm gonna wrap it there. 689 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 3: We are done. What do you reckon? George? 690 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 2: We are done? We are done? I do. I would 691 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 2: love to hear from our community though, to see how 692 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 2: they keep the costs down when it comes to entertaining 693 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: at Christmas time as well. So I'm thinking maybe i'll 694 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: pop a little little thread in the group today. I'll 695 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 2: make a note of that, so to make sure that 696 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 2: I don't forget. 697 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 3: Please do also, can you ask them about regifting? Can 698 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 3: you just put a sneaky tell us your worst regifting story. 699 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 2: Worst ree giftings. Oh yeah, I reckon there. 700 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 3: Worst reegifting story. I just feel like that will go off. Anyway, 701 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 3: we are done here. I'm about to see myself out 702 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 3: because apparently my opinions I'm probably not that kosher. So 703 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 3: see you next week, guys.
