That's fabulous. Happy Birthday to your mummy 🎉 mine will be 93 on 28/12. They're a different breed aren't they! And we wouldn't have it any other way. And your mum's a sagi so she's extra special.
Welp…Merry Christmas 😂 You have me thinking about how long I’ve watched you! But I’ll say, this particular American’s POV, anything said with a British accent sounds polished:)
Donkey's breakfast we were always told it was a straw mattress - wallpaper interesting. I miss those days when he would swear and yell 😂😂. Thanks Gemma
😝 hahaha I remember your boy playing video games because I used to think thank god another mum has to put up with that in the background!!! We had many broken controllers in my house 😂… the language was choice too! 😫🤣
Ah yes,I hear the scraping away...I think you described what is known as texturing in California, where my last husband destroyed the Malibu beach house walls with his artistic pursuits 😅....
Wood chip!!!! 😂😂😂 I lived in squats in late teens in the 90s, I also moved into a flat years ago that was covered in it! Couldn't scrape it off without chunks of plaster coming away 😮 UKs worst decorating invention 😆👊🏼
I’ve never heard of donkey’s breakfast, and I’m in California. I love your stories and your mum’s wisdom. ❤ I have my 🕯️ and I’m protecting it from going out by holding space. I’ve not given up. 💜
That emoji is so small that I can’t tell what it is (or else it’s my eyes), but it looks kind of like a tower or a chess piece? Or something else. 😁 whatever it is, good for you for protecting it and not giving up. 💕💕
@@whitebirchtarot When something is too small for my eyes to see, I take a screenshot and then make it bigger on the photo, just as a tip. It is actually a candle sitting on a candleholder that has a loop for the handle. It’s a Victorian Era candle, like in Dickens’s time. I think Gemma mentioned a candle like that. ✨🎄✨
As you enter my apartment there is a wall like that in my apartment.I hate it😂 however Im renting. So I glued down the seams of the wallpaper and washed it. Not my monkeys not my circus.😊
I've never heard of it being called donkey's breakfast paper, but I know it well... it was everywhere... and difficult to get off. I liked the noise of the scraping in the background, I like to hear the industriousness of someone else as I'm sitting with a cup of coffee watching UA-cam! 🤭 That reading was all a bit winter solstice-y, wasn't it? Thanks, I think 🤔
Hi Gemma! I’ve never heard of donkey’s breakfast. There’s quite a bit of wallpaper in my house, but most of it is border at the top. Except for the basement bathroom, which is striped! Yuck. I absolutely love that deck also and I drool every time you use it. I should’ve asked Santa if I could have it for Christmas. I love the Libby Bove also. If the title wasn’t already taken for the card, I would choose wretched broth as the title of my childhood autobiography. 😊😩 you have to tell us what sign your Mars is in because you remind me of me about wanting to open the windows and pay the neighbors back for all the noise. I have holes in the walls from throwing things in frustration, I’m embarrassed to admit, and my Mars is in Aries. I know your son has his Sun in Aries. Thank you and it’s so lovely to see you, as always. You go from unicorn and glitter jumpers to Bruce Willis! That’s Pisces for you! 💕💕
The 21st is the Winter Solstice here in the US. Happy solstice and Yule to Gemma and everyone! ❄🎄☃💖 Your candle story reminded me of Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado," which I haven't reread or thought about since school days. Good stuff!
I didn't know it was called donkey's breakfast - some family friends, originally from Bristol, decorated their whole house with it (not an Aussie thing). It's a childhood memory running my hand over the bumps and lumps. Well, looks like the apocalypse is today? 😂 Thanks Gemma 💖 from Australia xx PS love the jumper!
im feeling the wretched broth is the only card missing right now for me. ty as always for reading. stay well my gemma and my gemstars and i said wretched broth before you even pulled it out!!!!
Good Morning, Wooo it's 2:56 am in Canada, I was just busy filling my Temu cart with items that I am intent on buying "someday"😂 First time hearing about Donkey's breakfast😊 I'm Canadian Eh😁🫎🦫🍁....Why is it a Christmas film...Son wants to know, I myself accept your wisdom❤❤❤❤
Donkeys Breakfast sounds pretty awful. In the US, landlords just slather on paint color known as Swiss Coffee that sounds lovely, but is really just a dull, flat beige.
Yippee Ki Ya and a Merry Christmas season to you Gemma 🥰🎄 we bought an older home so I empathize with the constant refurbishing and upgrading 🙃 we’ve been removing popcorn ceilings, paneling on the walls covering layers of wallpaper … what an absolute chore but worth it! We tackle it one room at a time, a real test of our marriage 😂 and decided to sideline our DIY projects during the holiday season to make room for other, more seasonal stressors then start up again early spring
Happy Solstice, and thank you for all the readings Gemma! I'm not surprised by the cards this morning, I've had the Tower, the World and Judgement all in one reading plus the Devil came up in my spot the last two days. I'm almost relieved this morning to have nothing but minor arcana. As much as I like Libby Bove's POV, she cuts to the chase, I'm afraid I'm going to have to sign off from now on when she comes on, it's too much for my spirit. Take care everyone and may you bring the light with you wherever you go!🥰
Never heard of a Donkey's Breakfast, but a Dog's Dinner is what we'd say if something looked a mess. If it's really good, we'd say it's the Dog's Boll (&) Licks. 😉
Thank you, Gemma!! ❤ I’m finally back from my vacation and have a lot of catching up to do on videos. I was in the state of Arizona and attended my niece’s graduation from the University. There were 600 graduates. I was a blubbering mess 😩. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology. I was gone for a week and a half trying to get as much family time in since I won’t be able to spend the holidays with them. My boss goes to see hers every year so I make arrangements to see mine beforehand. I love the sound effects you make when describing things. 😄❤️👍 Don’t know what donkeys 🫏 breakfast is but I can picture it by your description.
😇I'm half bracing myself for the Christmas Day tarot glitter and half embracing it and let it come as it may....☺ and thank you for everything, of course, as always!
That Post Penultimate Times coulda just been called "Christmas Week." And I recall you apologizing for The Boy's shouting, but I also recall your bad mic situation. Honestly, never heard 99% of it 👍
Thanks, Gemma! Your sweatshirt is a cute addition to the reading. I haven’t seen Die Hard and didn’t realize Bruce Willis is the Star, but when I Googled it, apparently Bruce Willis stated it is not a Christmas movie. Love how this has become a friendly, Christmas talking point! Either way, now I feel the need to add it to the Christmas program list. Have a wonderful day, Everyone, and light extra candles tonight!😊❤🎄
I am always curious what the “outside the window” update will be 🙃 Gemma, you are a great reader and your channel has been helping me through a particularly tough year. I am about to be divorced and it has just been a lot. Luckily I am a generally positive person 😇 but when I am feeling down your channel is one of my go to’s. So I just wanted to say thanks, you make a real difference just by showing up. Wishing you a happy holiday season🎄🌟🌟
American living in Sweden has heard of "donkey's breakfast" meaning a straw-stuffed mattress, where the straw would be recycled into breakfast for animals. Never heard it in the sense of wallpaper. Maybe a US/UK difference?
It will be my mother's 96th birthday! And she is here to celebrate Yahoo🎉
That's fabulous. Happy Birthday to your mummy 🎉 mine will be 93 on 28/12. They're a different breed aren't they! And we wouldn't have it any other way. And your mum's a sagi so she's extra special.
Like wee willy winky running thru the toon i am 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
The London workhouses made a great backdrop for a heartwarming Xmas tale!
You're talking about wood chip wallpaper, the scourge of decorators all over the UK lol 😂
Welp…Merry Christmas 😂 You have me thinking about how long I’ve watched you! But I’ll say, this particular American’s POV, anything said with a British accent sounds polished:)
We call this woodchip in Scotland cause its got literal bits of wood in the wallpaper👌
Donkey's breakfast we were always told it was a straw mattress - wallpaper interesting. I miss those days when he would swear and yell 😂😂. Thanks Gemma
There's always a room somewhere in which something is happening!
Never heard of it in Australia, however I can relate to inspecting very scary rental properties 😱 and yes I can hear the scraping!!!!! Fabulous ❤️
Morning G, I just love your Bruce Willis jumper, and yes it is a Christmas movie .
I break up on Thurs 21st, I have 11 days off, yayyy xx
😝 hahaha I remember your boy playing video games because I used to think thank god another mum has to put up with that in the background!!! We had many broken controllers in my house 😂… the language was choice too! 😫🤣
I love how Friday in your diary looks like an alien tongue out smiley face near a moon
Ah yes,I hear the scraping away...I think you described what is known as texturing in California, where my last husband destroyed the Malibu beach house walls with his artistic pursuits 😅....
I'm watching The Marvels. Omg you have got to see the cat in this movie! Ginger Nuts on crack lol

@@Gemstonetarot that’s a great placement! That’s where my husband’s was. Excellent. My husband always called me a hothead. 😊 Thanks for sharing. 💕
No holes in my walls, but my Mars is in Sagittarius and my Venus is in Aries. I understand the 🔥. 🤭
@@BrownieButton hey, we’re twins, except we’re opposites! I bet you’re fun to hang out with! I know I am. 😊
@@whitebirchtarot It’s not often dull! 🤭
Thanks Gemma, that last card looks like the" Purge" is in full swing lol 😁
🤭✨💫
Good card penultimate.. surprisingly cheerful n book
Woo hoo. It's still Wednesday night 20th in South Australia. I've got no idea what donkeys breakfast is.
Never heard of Donkey's Breakfast! This is a very educational channel. 😉
Yes! Die Hard is the Xmas movie I have chosen to watch with my kids on Xmas Eve...... I think I might love Xmas as much as you do 😂

We have a dog's breakfast in Australia but not sure if that is the same thing 😂
I love that Bruce Willis sweater. That warms my heart. You’re so wonderful, thank you for your uplifting energy. 💜🙏🏻
My favorite reading of ever. So appropriate to my circumstances what I cannot share.
U.S. here. Never heard of donkey’s breakfast, but you painted a wonderful word picture of it.
Shadow Fates… love them.. wretched broth perfect fit eh?
Completely loving the scrapping noise 😂

It should be a good day I’m hanging out with a friend I’ll let you know how I get on tomorrow🙂🌞

Wow.... Okie dokie then! Let's do it 😂 doesn't look like there's anything else to do anyways 🤷
Did you ever find the mittens?
I must have that sweater (sorry, Brits. Can’t say jumper)!!
What's the name of this tarot deck? I want to purchase it.
As for my Donkey Breakfast, I put the answer on Dec 22, 2023 comments. Got the wrong one.
💜
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Post penultimate times! Damn. No, Libby doesn't play:)
Why you doing this to us Gemma? Just been waiting for things to happen for weeks now send help end it 😂
Anaglypta or woodchip wallpaper.......horrible !!!
