Happy Friday, fuckers. Welcome back, happy Friday. Happy Friday! How is everybody? Little piggy winks. Oink oink. We feel like a pig after them biscuits, but wait. Well, we hope you enjoyed our episode on

underrated and overrated things, places, items, products. And if we offended you, we're not sorry. No, because they offended us. Well, that is true, that's true. We just offended each other. This is what happens. We're all friends here, yeah. If everyone was the same, the world would be a boring place, am I right?

So boring. So, anyway, we thought for the wee bonus episode this week, we would talk about TikTok shop, because I think I've mentioned it once or twice that I'm getting into TikTok. Sammy is a TikTok queen. And when I say getting in it, I spend hours on it at night and I'm so annoyed for everyone that's encouraged me to go on it.

Because you just waste your life way, don't you? It actually has, taking over my life. And see any time before I go to like a video, if it's someone that I know, I go on in their profile to see if it's a recent video because I still get old content. Yeah, I do as well, actually. And it stresses me out that people think I'm a fucking yours bit.

Anyway, I was just telling Jess the other day that I'd bought something from TikTok shop and then we got into a deep hole of scrolling through TikTok shop and my basket's got about 40 things in it now for the both of us and what I'd like to discuss that I bought very on brand for me so on brand

it couldn't be more boring I'm just going to see if I can actually get my order so I can get the the name of the item orders here we go I mean it says I've not placed an order but it have because it's arrived anyway it's the gap brush

explain to everyone what that is it's the gap brush that is a wee thin brush for cleaning in between small spaces for example behind your toilet and between the toilet seat lid

in between taps and between like tiles and I've never been happier I saw the videos it looks good everyone needs it how much was it

30 pay I think it was about £2 £2 including postage anyway I'm really honestly pleased to say that it arrived I've not used it yet but I'm going to use it this weekend when I'm doing my cleaning

and I just think this was the utensil that I was missing all my life Are you going to use it with the pink stuff? The magic pink stuff. That stuff's amazing, isn't it? I just think cleaners are going to need to invest in this as well because even I had a cleaner, which was just out of sheer laziness.

That was the bits that I judged them on that made me stop getting a cleaner because I thought you're not even getting into the bits that I can't get into so it's pointing you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I would quite like you clean again, but maybe I could leave that out for them. I bought you some tools.

I do think craters, if you tell them, what you want to do they will do it I think my idea of a cleaner though is a different thing right like I think what I expect from like an hour's work is a deep clean and that's that's like a different thing you're paying for

no you don't get that yeah yeah you're just getting like I mean I've seen I was never in my cleaners was in because I was at work but I've seen your cleaner be in she did a right good job yesterday I do sometimes think you literally cleaned half that unit because they don't really like

attic, everything off a unit and clean wood is they kind of just lift and clean around, don't we? Yeah. What's your thing called cleaners do? But I'm like, no, I want you to get right in there. Yeah, they haven't got the time. Anyway, sorry, went off on an arrable. But that was my purchase. Anyway, do you want me to tell you what's in my basket? Yes, I want it to know, because half of it's

you. You know, talking of my house, I've got the sister method coming on Monday. So you do. I cannot wait. Honestly, just with how my brain is, to declutter that space in that kitchen, to make feel like I'm having, I've got space and I'm changing my cat shit litter tray room into a

pantry. I can't wait. I'll share picks, obviously. I know that would be amazing. Maybe I forgot they weren't only doing your kitchen. No, they're doing my whole house. I've paid in the deposit last night so I'm like, fucking yes, get it. Wow, what a transformation. I can't wait either for my own sake because I get quite stressed in it. Anyway, my basket. So first we've got the two-pack face washing wristbands. I've got them Zoe, haven't I? The cuffs. You put them on the wrist, you cuffs so when you wash your face the water doesn't trickle down your arm.

Especially if you get a sleeve on, your jammy sleeve's all soggy. You know when you get your dressing down sleeve wet, that is the worst thing. 71 pens, I'm going to get them. Yep. We've got two things in our basket for... Our new studio. Gee, what is it? Just because you're talking about TikTok shop.

Yeah, are you on TikTok just to have a scroll to see if I could find a shop. Couldn't find a link. after four scrolls what did I get the one piece gap clearing brush straight in like that's doing it looks good

I mean it just looks like a brush I think but have you seen it in action that's what everyone needs but would you tick-tock shop be like quite girly like ours is I don't know

or would he need to watch specific content for it to change to his TikTok shop I'm assuming it's the content you can give because everything that I do see on this I have seen videos about. Right.

So I's definitely linking somehow. Okay. So I've got our little pillows in here. Yeah, we've got some cute floral pillows. The One Piece Flower Pillow that's kicking about three pound. We've got two. Getting some of them for the studio. I've got the One Piece

Jewelry Organizer, Stackable Jewelry Box. Let me see that. 249. 240? That looks class. It's like a plastic cylinder but it's got one, two, three, four, five, six. We draw that pull out like you know like to the sideways yes I need that earrings rings and all that sorties I've got the ice cube tray they're like little mini balls 54 ice tray with lid bin ice cube moulds two tier so one tier square and one tier is

balls wow like little marbles ice balls 10 pound 10 pound that's quite expensive yeah I won't be getting that out I've got my Stanley cup doop in there? Doop? How much? 6.69. What a 10%? 10 times less. How much is the Stanley Cup?

Let me just Google it right now, so we've got an exact amount. Stanley Cup is... Was it out of stock? Oh, okay, it's 40 quid. I think it's 40 pound now. But see, when we've really put that, pull this back to basics, we're talking 40 pound for a water bottle. That is actually a joke.

Do you know what I mean? although 40 pounds get your watering taking and I've seen all the videos if people say even 24 hours later the ice is still ice that's how much it keeps it cold right so that's what it is about then is it how it keeps things cold

because it's metal it's like a flask nice so I actually think you can put hot drinks and everything in it but people just using it for water because I really love drinking out of a glass bottle I got one off Amazon it was like a glass bottle with like a rubber handle

thing around it so you've Yeah, and it made the water taste good, fresh. What I will say about a water bottle with a straw, I think the straw gets very disgusting. I know you can clean it right, but I think even when you clean it, I think being a girl and you've maybe got some lip products. Yeah, you just get a bit tacky around that, doesn't it?

A straw gets quite minging, I feel. Yeah, I agree. And also it's very important to clean out your water bottle every day. I hope everyone does that because I notice after one day if I've got any water left in it because I do keep it in my bed at night. If I go to take a drink of that in the morning, I almost feel like I can smell the plastic bottle.

Yeah. I think that's one of the benefits of the Stanley or the fact that it is stainless steel or metal. Like you don't need to clean it and it doesn't get dirty. Because that's a bit like tarnish-free jewelry. Yeah, my big plastic one, you can almost like smell the plastic and I'm like, I don't think I should drink at this.

Because if plastic bottles need to be BPA-free or something because it can... Yeah, there's something like that. really bad for women she's another problem I had to list I know okay now another thing that I do want to get the way am I put in it and you would really benefit from this as well

is the multifunctioned makeup case and it looks like an astronaut show me now that's hideous Jess I'm sorry that would make Would you carry that around no that's just see if you're the nice wee dressing room which I do not right and put your skincare products on the top

I would sit that on your desk once you have because you know how your products just lie all over it. Right, I'm getting that then. They could sit in that, you've got the wee bit that pulls up at the top. It's my birthday in two weeks, Zoe. You know, you can get that. You told me what you wanted for your birthday about three months ago. I know I did.

Also, just whilst we were on that topic, last year, the group chat, we asked Jess if she wanted to end for birthday and we get a list that had honestly about 20 things on it. One of them being something that was wild, I can't remember what it was, but it was like the same last year we were given to everyone. Yeah. And there was like things on it like...

That was a Christmas list, was it not? No, that was a birthday list. Richard told me to write a list because he wanted to send it to his friend but secretly haunted it for himself. So I said to you like, well, I'll just send you the list that I've sent to Richard. The things on this was like, um, but I gave an eight of sunglasses. Um, it was things like that and we were like, is this a list just for us or... It was like nothing I've ever seen before.

But what I've asked you for this year is I just want a wine glass. and a suitcase. Yeah, you did say that actually but... So maybe we could squeeze in your makeup cosmetic organiser. Gorgeous. The last thing on my list at the moment

which you'll all be absolutely over the moon about is a floor scrubbing cleaning brush with floor squeegee built in. Gorgeous. One side of the brush is the brush that you clean your floor with so you're scrubbing it with soap

put a bit of a fair liquid in the floor. Scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub, and then you flip the brush over and it's the thing that you would clean the windows with. Like your inside of your shower? Yeah, and it pulls all the liquid back. Yes, but then what do you do with the liquid? We've not got to that part yet, I don't know.

Toul up, put a bit of kitchen mill down, I don't know. But that squeed you about the satisfaction. Anyway, I'm a boring old soul, actually when you think about it. You really are. But what we're going to read through is what you guys have bought. And I've seen a lot of this, by the way.

lunchbox with compartments. Did we not watch a video on that the other day? No? See if I was still in work. I added one of these. What's it called? I don't know, go on TikTok and type in lunchbox and you'll see a million videos.

TikTok lunchbox? It's got a hundred of week compartments in it and it's so cool. So it's like the one that piles up as a three? I think it might be. And it's got a knife and fork in it? Yep. But people are now doing like pack my lunchbox with me videos and wow, so satisfying.

Aw. The chopper from veg. That's where you get your. TikTok shop? That is game-changing, by the way. Yeah, TikTok shop, I got it off because it's way cheaper than Amazon. It was quite aggressive

that I'd do when you were cutting the papers. Because that was quite hard, wasn't it? I was like bashing it. Can I just back to the lunchboxing? If anyone has kids, can you please go and have a look at my lunchboxes I did with Virgin because they were really fucking good

and better than all these Google images? Yeah, they were actually right. So if you have children, some ideas for you. Or if you like eating like a child, then go for it. Me. The made by Mitchell. Is it the blush?

Yeah, the Mimimim Mitchell. Someone said they got that a TikTok shot. Yeah. That's really cheap on TikTok. I've been sent one of them actually in like a, was it an advent calendar we got it in? But it's really pink. Maybe only has a wee bit.

But there's loads of different shades, I'm sure, but I think. What about that rose and caramel tan remover? Everyone's talking about that. And apparently that's so much cheaper on TikTok. talk because see on amazon i'm sure that's 30 quid yeah because isn't holly mccallis is saying it was something like jillie who loves it as well she swears by it because they're they're like mad fake tannas aren't they the fake tann olympics they call it yeah especially in the summer i think that was saving their life i just couldn't do that like i'm so glad i take at least

a bit of color on holiday yeah i know um so yeah apparently that's fake tarr removed for anyone that is a fake tanner or got tiger bread skin it's meant to be really good quite a few people are talking about that Ekensoe primer. You've never heard of it. You know Echensu from Love Island? Yeah. She's got all that stuff with, is it B-Perfect? Oh, right.

But there's a lot of videos on that. Right. And it's like, all the videos are like, it's back in stock. Oh. Must be good. It's popular. Obviously, I want it now then. It is popular.

Right. Oh, right, yeah, there's a picture of it. That does look nice. Be perfect, Echin-Soo, Radiant Glow. Oh, that looks a bit of me, that. Yeah, it does. It does actually look really good. 16 pounds.

Right, well, I'll keep an eye out for that then. Let you know what I think. Do you know what these moose lover... No. Somebody needs to tell me what this is. Right, so a few people... I saw a few people... A few people have wrote in saying, like,

I need more on this or... Moose lover Unitard? Never seen it. What is this? Right, but someone's messaged in about it. as well with a bit more depth, right? Moose lover Unitards and body suits, you need to get it.

I'm five foot with very chunky legs and usually my legs resemble... I couldn't relate more to this. Usually my legs resemble a pork loin and unitards but this fitting is unbelievable. 1299, I'll send a link. Send it then?

So it's these. Does it help with chafe-chafe? That will, because it's got me shots on it. Getting it, Zoe, let's get it. Add it to the list. About five people have spoken to us about moose lover. Is that how you say it? Moose lover, yeah. Moose lover.

Moose lover. Yeah, let's get that then. Right, so we need to get that from 10. What we should do is get people to send us in things to try, and then we'll rate it if you think it's good. Or shit. Okay, moose lover it is. You guys keep me young, honestly.

Keep me young. I mean, people are talking about these makeup things and bodies and all that, and I'm talking about a fucking brush. It cleans in between the toilet pan. There's quite a contrast here. Loads of people have said about, um, grosemary hair oil. I think, right, okay, it was rosemary hair oil,

but it's a brand called Grocery. I was going to say, that is really smart. It is smart, but I think a rosemary oil is a rosema. Do you know what I mean? There's so many on the market. No, no, like it doesn't need to be a specific brand. But there's, they work. I agree.

They're so good. Someone has wrote in Which I've actually tried this And I remember telling you about it That Baile brow gel Right Mind I got sent that Because I became an influencer

Oh is that why you got sent Yeah And I've got really fair brows But when I've got them tinted I used it once And it's just a clear gel And a wee pot And you use like a wee spoolie brush

Uh huh And it sticks your brows up so well Like see people who like that laminated thing Yeah It was actually really good Okay right well I'll get that as well you should just note all these down and then by them

now let's finish it on the toilet roll we need to discuss the toilet roll we need to right I need to get the facts about this though before we go into this someone did messages so let me find it because this will bring me on to a funny

question I need to ask you and G and all the listeners it was about how they were buying like something fucking ridiculous but their sister was buying all the toilet rolls right And it was just quite funny.

So it's something daff, like 40 toilet rolls for two, how much is it, two pounds or? 72 rolls for, um, 17 pounds. 72 toilet rolls for seven, how much? 17. 17 pounds. Because that's so expensive. Yeah, because. I think I get a 24 pack, right?

Mm-hmm. And I think it's 10 pound. Is it like the extra soft for your bum? So you're talking like three times that for only for less than double the price iconic Um so I've got

But have you seen the amount of videos Are people buying it? No Well why they're storing it? No like just them like holding a bag It like comes and they hold the big package up And they're like yes I gave in and I got the toilet roll

There's fucking hundreds of them Where you put it? I don't even know where people put these things This is the thing I wouldn't even be able to buy that I know and also I would be paranoid that it was going to rip my bum Mm hmm A bit rough.

Gave a wee cut. So this brings me on to the question that I've got to ask you. Is it about bums? It's about your toilet roll. Are you a scruncher or a folder? I would say I'm a folder. Folder.

Are you? What other option is it? So you pull it off and then you scrunch it off. Just make a big fucking ball? Yeah. So I am neither of the above. No, neither. I don't think I am.

I get my two fingers and sticking at my bum not really, I get my two fingers and wrap once round there, then I get the third one and round and round. So it makes it so it's folded but it's like a nice and I slide it off my finger. You electric tooth push or normal?

Normal. Same, very. Never been electric think it's shank it shite. Oh I don't you think this year? I do think they're good. I also think why is it the size of a pea? Why is the electric tooth brush made so small and round? That's getting I've got big teeth. No, I do agree that electric toothbrush do make your seat feel really clean but I can't be fucked with that again

I can't be asked to wait I'm waiting I need to do it at my speed no but everyone else I know as well has to have both because they forget to charge it sometimes yeah true so what's the point the reach two one pound toothbrushes are so good right let's quickly finish I've got we've got a lot on your plate for you

um this couldn't wait one more week by the way this is how good it is just scared I broke up with my boyfriend a couple of months ago And I thought it was time to dip a toe back in the dating pool There was a guy I'd met on a night hour A couple of weeks prior Nice looking, seemed nice

And we'd been messaging on Instagram And eventually agreed that we'd meet up To go to an immersive art experience in London We agreed on a date, a time and a place Where we were going to meet And I was quite looking forward to it But when the day came he wasn't replying to my messages

and wasn't even opening my messages and I thought to myself how fucking rude and also I was really shocked because he'd seemed so keen I just couldn't understand it anyway it turns out he wasn't ghosting me

he had become a ghost he fucking died the day before our date so I don't know what message the universe was trying to send me there but it is back to single life for me. I mean, we shouldn't laugh, but that's fucking funny.

He had become a ghost. That is like you've been ghosted. That is savage. R-I-P, but wow. Imagine being that girl where you're finally getting back to date and you're like, you know what, this is the one, I'm so excited. And then his friend, a friend calls you and he died.

He's gone. However, I hope his friend's not covering up for him. Because I've heard of stories like that. That's so something guys we'd do. I've heard of stories this way, you know. No, that's too far. Just say you're no interested. Yeah.

Still that hard. Gross it. Parking now. Anyway, nice cheery note to end up on, guys. I hope you enjoyed them. That really was a lot on their plate. Savage. Anyway, lovely.

Catch up, guys. We've got an important meeting to go to so we better fuck off. Yeah. Okay. See you. Have a lovely weekend. See you on. Bye guys!
