How is it possible for her to use the word myself all the time when it's wrong, but the few times shes presented with an opportunity to say alfie and myself and it be grammatically correct, she bottles it?!
Howwwww

But isnt ‘Alfie and i’ actually the correct thing in this?

Nope, if you were to take "Alfie" out of that sentence it'd say "but I did order I some cookies". So it's incorrect. "I did order myself some cookies" would be the proper sentence and for the plural then it'd be "me and Alfie" or "Alfie and myself" although it'd be much more normal to say "I did order us some cookies" but she's obsessed with making it clear that she and Alfie are together. As if we thought she has such a bopping social life...

Whilst I agree with some of what you have said, I still disagree with use of the word ‘myself’ in this context. Going by the picture I have attached, use of ‘myself’ should be largely avoided. Pic from here: https://www.lexico.com/grammar/when-to-use-myself-and-yourself

Ergo what she should actually be saying is ‘cookies for Alfie and me’

I don't even send my actual friends cards for valentine's day. In my country, the Netherlands, that is considered very weird. You either do something nice with your partner (if you find value in Valentines day) or send something to a secret crush, but bosses or friends, no. Could be a cultural thing though, is it a thing in Britain to send cards to friends? For me it sounds like you need to have your ego rubbed, but once again, could be a cultural thing that I don't know of.

I'm from NL, too! It's definitely weird. Partner, family is OK to give something, friends is OK to do something with (pre-covid) but not giving people at work something, especially not your boss. I would seriously think someone wants a raise or wants a promotion / sleep their way to the top
 
Where I live (Barcelona) it’s even weird to celebrate Valentines with your partner, just new couples or very young people do it. It’s just another day, like Alfie bought her flowers a couple of days ago... Doesn’t that have much more meaning that doing it on Valentines?

This! I find it much more meaningful when my partner brings home flowers (for both of us because he likes colour in our home) on a random day than on valentine's day.

Day to day love is in the little things tbh. I know Aldie really goes big on Zoe's bdays but otherwise can't be bothered to look interested when she talks.
 
Valentine’s Day seems to be getting Americanised here in the UK, it used to just be couples but it’s extended to anyone showing love for anyone else I think. I like that A&Z don’t really celebrate it, found that Molly Mae thing incredibly cringeworthy/showy personally 😂

Strange that Zoella are posting February prompt things with a space to write on for insta stories and Zoe hasn’t been completing them
