A couple of years ago, Siarn went through a horrible time with an allergic reaction to an unknown irritant....it turned out to be something we are exposed to everyday in the home!
Fair warning, some of the stuff Siarn shares made JH's skin itch so bad, he hit the JTM button early on this one......When your eyebrows start to itch, it's time to change the subject.
Then on a happier note, JH & Siarn discuss the best money they've ever spent on a gift for themselves - a backyard fire pit. Brilliant gift idea coming into Christmas too.

Ever wonder what Stamp Duty is for? We did too, so we looked into it and holy rip-off batman! JH got mad, so mad we had to record this ep twice. Second time round JH and Siarn investigate changes they'd like to see, what various states are doing and how Stamp Duty could be used as a lever to solve the housing crisis in Australia.
 
Then we move onto a supposedly lighter topic, that will likely trigger all the mums out there.....only 13 Fridays till Christmas..... We should really do a Christmas Gift idea episode and help everyone out!

No one was more excited about this episode than Siarn...
She held it in until we hit the record button and then a very excited girly squeal escaped! Turns out Siarn has always wanted to buy a European castle to retire to, maybe somewhere in France, run some vines, live of cheese and wine.....
In this ep, JH and Siarn look into buying a castle and discuss how another Aussie was able to do it and the challenges they faced.
Then, inspired by a strongwoman colleague and fellow competitor, JH decides he wants to go hiking, so our two hosts investigate how to get your hike on and where to go.
It's another fun episode of the Home + Life Podcast, make sure you're liking each ep and subscribing along the way so you never miss any of the shenanigans!
