In this final episode of Season 1 Cat compiles tales of the very worst gifts people have received. She shares your emails, stories from the streets of London and anecdotes from her own friends. She also takes a moment to express her opinion on that Harry & Meghan documentary and shouts out all the parents out there who are shouldering the weight of Christmas with no help from an army of elves.

Finally Cat implores you without dignity or shame to rate and review the podcast wherever you listen to it. It is the single more important thing you can do to help support the podcast and ensure a second season.

In this episode Cat shares hilarious stories from listeners about the times their kids shouted obscenities in public and WARNING: the c-word features heavily. Cat also discusses the best contraceptive known to humankind, if anyone were ever to talk openly about it, and that is the ninth circle of hell that is swimming lessons. Finally, Cat gets political (never a good idea) and discusses her disappointment with the Just Stop Oil protestors and why she agrees with their principles but things their methodology sucks.

Plus, Cat is raising funds for Furnishing Futures - a charity that helps those in social housing furnish their properties. It's an incredible charity. All you have to do is purchase a copy of the big, fat, annual Christmas Quiz from her website for £8 and £2 will go to Furnishing Futures.

In this episode Cat recognises what an ungrateful so-and-so she is when she discusses how her and Jimmy transition when he gets back from touring. There was no way she wasn't going to chat about Matt Hancock heading into the jungle, Gavin Williamson and his annoying voice that he's been using to bully people and Elon Musk buying Twitter. She also shares all the petty stuff that you admitted to doing and discusses the purpose of pettiness and why it's a toxic trait for good people. Finally she lays bare her perfect parenting experiences this week and asks you guys to send in any stories about kids swearing for next week's episode!
