J: Yeah, I know Christmastide is technically almost over. C: It really doesn't feel like Christmas any more.

J: There have been some delays in filming and getting these out, OK?

J: But we're gonna leave our decorations up until the end of our Christmastide.

C: Yeah. J: Because that's the traditional taking down of all the decorations.

C: Our family always left the decorations up until the 5th.

J: If you've never seen us before, I'm Jessica and this is Claudia, and we're married!

C: Hello! To each other.

J: Oh yeah!

J: We are married... C: To be fair, we went to a wedding fair

C: one time, J: Yeah...

C: and the lady was like,

"Oh, who's getting married?" And we were like, "Oh, we both are.

C: "Oh, wow, what day?"

C: "The 3rd of September."

C: "Wow, you're having your wedding on the same day! Isn't that lovely?"

C: Yes.

[Inaudible]

C: Oh dear.

J: [Sarcastically] 'Oh, we're just best friends; organised a wedding on the same day!'

J: But, yeah, so we're gonna be answering some of those later.

J: But today we're having a very-- C: Just so people can see...

C: Look, there's Walter!

C: He's just getting involved.

C: Hey, dude!

C: Aww. J: OK!

J: But back to the fun stuff.

[Exclamations]

C: I'm just randomly holding this bowl of porridge.

C: I mean bowl--it's not even porridge.

This, um, custard, and it's making it--good thing it's in a little bowl like this so it's not face-shaped,

because I have this real instinct to just--instinct?

C: Don't know if that's instinctive.

C: Impulse!

C: Like, into your face!

J: Actually-- C: If you're wondering why I have a little bowl of custard,

J: Oh, yes. C: it's 'cause...!

C: It's day eight! J: Yes, we're giving each other presents

J: every day of the Twelve Days that relate to the 12 Days of Christmas song.

C: And this is-- [Both, singing] Eight maids are milking!

C: This has neither got milk or sugar in it.

C: It's really just a bit of yellow slime that you can eat!

C: It can just stand up in it, look.

C: That's not right, guys!

J: I still appreciate you making me this, though, as my present. Thank you!

J: Here's your present. C: Thanks!

C: What is it? 'Eight maids are milking...'

C: Are we gonna go see--are you gonna take me to see some ladies?

C: "I have loved you for 1,626 days."

C: "And I'll love you for every day to come."

J: Because you're not a maid any more.

C: Awwww.

J: Because I married you. C: Thank you!

J: I counted. These are all the days since the day we met.

C: Oh, since we met; not since we got married. J: No.

J: Because I knew on the day we met that you would be my wife, so...

C: Aww.

C: Doesn't sound enough! 1,626. J: I know! Doesn't.

C: Sounds like--feels like we've been together for, like...

J: I'm surprised I didn't meet you the day I came out the womb,

J: to be honest. C: Sounds like it should be more like 6,126.

C: You sure you didn't get that wrong?

J: I'm pretty sure I counted correctly. C: Aww, that's so cute.

C: I'm glad we equally got each other very low ethic presents for this one.

C: Sorry.

[Loud voice] J: I counted every day

since the day we met!

C: You know you can work out how many days are in a year, and then that would have been a year...

and then you would have just had to count from...?

C: Anyway.

[Annoyed] J: Yeah, I also after doing it realised that there's a Google calculator

J: that does it for you. C: Oh yeah. Aww.

C: Good to know.

C: Anyway.

C: This video is about...

J: Assumptions [inaudible] C: Assump--yeah, yeah, yeah.

J: All right, I'm gonna eat my custard.

J: And then we're gonna go and see financial advisers.

J: Mention in the comments if you, too, are doing your taxes.

C: 31st of January. Gotta pay your tax, people.

C: Yeah. Don't leave it 'til the last minute.

J: No.

J: This is a cautionary tale about doing your taxes; that's what this video is.

J: Anyway. We'll see you later

for some assumptions.

C: Bye-bye!

J: Hello, lovely people! C: Hii.

J: It's the end of a very long and tiring day.

[Softly, as if tired] C: It is.

J: And we have ordered some take-away, because... C: Yaay!

C: Chinese! J: ...can't cope.

J: So, in the time it takes for the take-away to come...

C: Which apparently is only like fifteen minutes.

J: I know! C: They're very fast.

J: We're gonna answer some of the questions that I asked you yesterday on our Instagram account,

@jessieandclaud

(which is our couples one)

about assumptions that you may have about us.

J: Some of these were lovely.

J: Like one of them was,

"You'll make all holidays, birthdays, and vacations absolutely magical for your future children."

J: Like, I don't know if that's an assumption that we can say yes or no to.

Although someone else then said, "You don't want to have kids."

C: Oh, that's weird. Why do they think that?

C: Maybe because we're so dog-obsessed. J: How would we ever--ooh, yeah!

J: Is that how we've given off that impression?

C: Only the standard pet names.

C: Like 'darling...'

C: 'Baby'

Both: Bubba

J: We don't ever call each other by our names, though.

C: Yeah! Jessie. I say "Jessie."

C: You say "Claudie."

J: If it's just the two of us. No. C: We don't have pet names. We don't have, like--

C: I don't call her, like, "my Mushy Squishy Mii" or something like--I don't have some weird pet name for you.

J: "Smushuls" C: You call me pumpkin.

J: I do call you pumpkin. C: She did start calling me princess for a while; I was like...

J: I called you princess once!

C: And I'm like, "I am not. a. princess."

J: Guessed right. C: No, we don't, actually.

C: We have very... We--we agree on most aesthetic things

when it comes to interior design.

C: Like, my style's very different from yours,

C: but we both like our house to be... period features; J: Traditional.

C: antique - like, good; well-made furniture.

C: I mean, I would quite like--maybe... Sometimes I think, 'Mm, yeah, my taste is a bit different

and if I was with someone else, my house would probably look completely different.'

C: Because I think I'm a bit more flexible?

To what I want.

C: I think you dictate how our house looks.

C: And I just go [compliantly] 'OK!'

C: Er, we don't--um...

I wouldn't say so.

C: Unless we're playing Scrabble; I'm pretty good at Scrabble.

J: I'm highly dyslexic. C: Yeah...

J: So...

C: Monopoly, I just--I hate it.

J: Because I win. C: Yeah.

C: No.

C: That's not true. I think probably I initiate most cuddles.

J: I would firmly agree

with that.

[Giggling]

J: It's true.

C: No, Walter snores louder.

J: Thanks so much for that one. C: Jessica snores, that's true. I'm silent.

J: OK, we don't KNOW that you're silent.

J: I just take my hearing aids out at night.

C: That's true. J: So this has never been proven.

C: That's true.

C: That's not an assumption!

C: Isn't that, like, a very--an observation?

J: It's a very good observation, yes. On point observation.

C: I don't know.

C: Yes, I would call myself British,

but I'm not VERY British 'cause I'm half--I'm not even ethnically...fully British.

J: What is ethnically British? C: But then what's British? There's no ethnically British; no, there isn't.

J: I love this one.

J: "I assumed you'd been together for, like, a year,

because you seem to be in a honeymoon phase,

but bop."

C: "But bop"?

J: Yeah. I don't know!

C: Like... We're still boppy.

J: Yeah, no. Four and a half years later.

C: Yeah. J: Still bopping along.

J: OK. "You get in fights about little things, but it all works out in the end."

C: No.

C: Unless we do and we don't realise.

C: We're not argumentative people and we both don't like confrontation. J: What on Earth would you call our "fights"?

C: It's more like... It's more like, J: 'Don't do that.' 'OK.'

C: 'Pick that up.' 'No.' 'OK.'

C: Or like, 'Can you empty the dishwasher?' 'Not right now.'

C: 'All right.'

C: Pacifying the mood. J: You can't really fight with me.

C: No.

C: I do--I have fought with other people before that I've dated.

C: So, it is in me.

C: And sometimes--when we first started dating, I really wanted to have fights every now and again.

J: You did, yeah. C: But she was just like...

[Gently] C: 'No.' [Gently] J: No.

C: And then I'm like, 'Oh, OK.'

C: And after a while, I'm like, 'I love you!'

C: 'It's always so nice with you.'

J: Yes.

J: This background's not very attractive.

J: It's really nice the other side of the camera.

J: Shall we turn it around?

C: What, mid...? J: Just mid-way through.

C: Yeah, why not? J: We're gonna change the background,

C: All right. J: hang on.

C: That's a little bit-- J: Now it's more aesthetically pleasing!

C: Yeah, rather than just us on our horrible brown sofa.

J: Next question: "You guys have the best friendship out there."

C: Awww.

C: I think we have a pretty good friendship. J: We do, I would say so.

C: Yeah. J: You're my best friend.

C: Yeah, you're my best friend.

C: I wouldn't choose you as a friend.

C: Like if we went to school...

J: Aw, my Mum said that to me when I was a child. C: Yeah!

C: It's like a weird thing. It's like I had-- J: Everyone says that to me.

C: Like, I fell in love with you; by that, you are my best friend.

C: By...what's the word? Proxy.

J: OK. C: You're just very different to my other friends.

J: No, it's fine, I'm very different to everyone.

J: I know.

J: Pretty much all my friends are like, 'I would never have chosen you.'

C: 'You forced yourself on us.'

C: 'And we were like, "Oh, no!"' J: My entire family, as well!

J: 'I don't know that we'd have chosen you, Jessica, but it's very nice that you're here.'

C: And then it's like, 'OK, actually...'

'Actually, you're quite charming.'

J: Oo! "You are both extroverted." Lots of people guessed this one.

C: Mmmm.

C: The guess is wrong because it--I would--we don't... No.

[Misunderstanding] J: Ha! "We don't know." We do know. C: No, no, no.

C: No, no, no, I mean we don't think I'm an extrovert. J: No.

C: No. J: I wouldn't call you an extrovert.

C: No. We decided I'm a confident introvert.

J: When needs be, she's there.

C: I'm like--but then we were talking about this the other day with my friends and I was like...

I don't think it's black and white. You can't--it's not just like introverted-extroverted.

C: I think there's a scale.

C: Um, and also I think probably mine is a bit, like, fluid.

So...some days I'm more introverted than I am extroverted, as is probably everyone.

J: Yes.

C: I'm probably leaning more towards the introverted side. J: Personalities are also fluid.

C: Yeah.

J: There we go. C: Jessica's extroverted, definitely.

C: She gets loads of energy from being around people, whereas I find being around people drains me.

J: Next assumption:

[Doorbell rings] [Dogs bark] C: Ooo.

[Dogs bark]

Both: Oooo.

J: Ooh, did we get prawn crackers? C: Yeah!

J: Oh! C: And they're the nice ones!

J: Ooh!

J: Oh, I love these ones. Spicy ones.

J: On this topic of food...
