babs' cold was so bad and she was so unwell that she didn't upload a vlog last week - although obvs she was okay to attend the school carol concert and spread her germs around all the parents! #priorities
or y'know, she could just be honest and admit that she doesn't have a real job, so can easily take time off "werk" when she is overtired from spending a weekend lugging her bulk around London, and needed to spend a few days in her pit downing sugar to build back her strength.
as for her birthday present haul - candles, disney haunted mansion plates which she will add to her hoard of tat halloween decorations which spend the majority of the year shoved in a box up in her top top tip - a tacky red shiny plastic loungefly mickey bag - clearly aimed at toddlers and very easy to tell why it was in the sale
- the obligatory pair of mickey ears, the usual stash of no 7 toileteries that wet san snapped up last year in the boxing day sales, and a collection of g-nomie tat from her sister - including a gnome-shaped heatable cushion, with the reminder that she is just like the rest of the struggling population and barely ever has the heating on in the hobbit house. #relatable
"yet another" pair of golden hoop earrings from 🪜 - apparently, she has quite a few yet seemingly never actually wears them as her preference in jewellery is novelty tat from Claires - and shealso makes a point of sharing the gifts she recieved from her friends, very pointedly naming each one, presumably to prove to tattle that she absolutely, definitely does have friends - Danny and Alison and Jocely and Sarah and Sheila - the latter obvs her latest bestie, as she bought babs another tiny tat house for her tat christmas vilage. that's a total of three tiny houses added to her one-new-tiny-house-a-year "tradition". her gifts from friends also include a selection of sweets, which babs made clear she has no intention of sharing and will be storing up in her top top "office" to keep all for herself, plus one of her friends totally trolled her with a recipe book! a books filled with recipes for disney drinks admittedly, but i can't imagine her bothering to put in the effort to do anything other than crack up the usual canned cock or pout half a bottle of baileys in a
crappy hot chocolate. and guaranteed she'll end up with a velvetiser for christmas, as the babettes have been recommending them in the comments on her vlog - and despite how she maintains that her low-calorie hot chocolate powder with hot water and a splash of milk is the best hot chocolate ever, she will be perfectly happy to buy a velvetiser to appease the babettes, and simply use it as further kitchen storage.
