**A note before we begin that this episode was recorded over a week ago before events in the Middle East and the Australian Referendum. We want to acknowledge the darkness in the world and our communities right now, and that this episode does not deal with that context.**

First up Gem has experienced the hack of all hacks when it comes to kids birthday party presents and we all need to get on this. Gem doesn’t have time for Raffa wanting her get her ears “adorned with jewels” (ok, nerd) and we have interesting thoughts about our thoughts on this one. Revz doesn’t have time for her late night owl behaviour, and having to make her partner put her to bed which leads to weird discoveries about “Daddy” and “Mummy” which very quickly descends into a huge unearthing of our Icks. And it’s a loose lolacoaster from then on DLs, please buckle up and share your own icks in the Facebook group.
