Not Without My Sister

Somehow a conversation about gratitude journalling has devolved into a reading of Rosemary's teenage diary, a deep dive into why, exactly, Nicky Byrne blocked her on Twitter and a trip down memory lane to the night Beatrice got egged on her way to Whelan's.

That's Beatrice's verdict on everything she watches and reads – it's the culture episode! Tessa Bailey's Romancing the Clarksons books Hugh Howey's Wool   The 100   If you, like our Dad, like sexy dragon books, this series is great   Philip Pullman on the Penguin Podcast   Rupi Kaur   Amanda Gorman   Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes   Manifest on Netflix Invasion on...

We're talking kitchens, appliances and what, exactly, should go in the press – trust us, it's more interesting than you'd think!  Drew Barrymore's Beautiful range at Walmart   Surprisingly, the paint colour is NOT called "articulated beige" and is, instead, called "accessible beige" – by Sherwin Williams   Rosemary's Pinterest board of kitchen and home décor dreams, should that be o...

We're talking about the new study that shows that kids learn better on paper than they do on screens – is it really that surprising? Rosemary's still carrying around her Filofax like a 21st century Maggie Thatcher, while Beatrice is never giving up her good old paperback habit. Let us know how you feel YOUR kids get on with on-screen learning – and whether or not you feel you get the same result f...

We're talking about the 2024 Grammys: the outfits, the awards, the diversity, and the fact that Taylor Swift once more had a man get up on stage to tell the world she didn't deserve her award.

Are any boots truly – truly – made for running, though?! We're talking business dress codes on today's episode, inspired by Beatrice's interview, for which she has to dress in "business professional" attire. And we are… confused. Any and all job interview advice welcome by the way – ESPECIALLY if you're someone who works in recruitment or conducts a lot of job interviews… is there such thing as an...

Rosemary's birthday is coming up and she's not sure whether she wants to do anything – while Beatrice always wants to do something for her birthday, but only if the soundtrack is right. Plus: does Rosemary really want these Ugg boots ? And Beatrice reads an excerpt from her teenage diary wherein she shows her true colours. ** DM us  on Instagram @notwithoutmysister , or email us on  notw...

Oh, and other things. Awards season is upon us and you know what that means: open season on discussing the outfits we loved, hated, didn't understand and simply wish would go away. From frills to fascinators, sleek tailoring to embroidered vulvas, we've got the low down on the style at the Golden Globes. ** DM us  on Instagram @notwithoutmysister , or email us on  notwithoutmysis@gmail.c...

When it comes to rules to live by, it turns out that not a single Guardian journalist is right about, well, anything! Rosemary reveals her one true talent, Beatrice once again brings up blow jobs (so vulgar) and we decide what Dr Dad is truly good at.

This is not the episode to listen to with your Santa-fan kids – it's the episode where we discuss our families' Christmas traditions, detail what, exactly, we expect in our stockings and whether or not we felt betrayed when we found out the cold, hard, truth about jolly St Nick. ** DM us  on Instagram @notwithoutmysister , or email us on  notwithoutmysis@gmail.com.

We're talking about the wild wild west of the American credit system – and Rosemary is talking about the wild wild west of her credit card collection. It's not her fault! America sucks you right in and spits you right out! P.S. After some belated research, we have discovered that you must be 18 to get a credit card (with someone co-signing for you) in the US. ** DM us  on Instagram @notwithou...

Beatrice has been unemployed since January – and it's not for lack of interviewing! She's applied for 200+ jobs, which means rewriting her cover letter and redoing her CV 200+ times, a trauma no human should have to endure. We talk about job applications, interviews, interviewing red flags, the day Rosemary walked out of the induction portion of a new job… and more! ** DM us  on Instagram @no...

Rosemary once had a very strong opinion on this but, as with all other things, she's mellowed with age. Beatrice wonders what's the point in blanking out your kids' faces if your social media is set to private, and, above all else, we wonder what kind of social media stage mom Blaire Mac Cabe would have been. ** DM us  on Instagram @notwithoutmysister , or email us on  notwithoutmysis@gm...

" If she drowned, she was innocent of witchcraft . If she didn't drown, she was considered to be a witch and put to death." Either way, the woman died.

Beatrice took a trip back to the Emerald Isle and had a great time! But also got very wet! And lost her wallet! Kind of! It was a whole thing.

Y'all, we're sorry but this was a MESSY one!
