What issues has Zoe been dealing with regarding the fixer upper house her friend is living in?
-Zoe mentions there have been a lot of issues with leaks everywhere, things collapsing, and general 'teething problems' with the major renovation and extension project on the fixer upper house. This has required her and James to frequently go back and forth to organize roof repairs and other fixes needed.
Why did Zoe's previously secured house purchase fall through?
-Zoe explains that everything was going well with the house purchase she had secured - the chain was complete and they were ready to complete the purchase by the end of January. However, at the last minute her buyer's buyer pulled out, which caused the whole chain to collapse.

Why does Zoe prefer to shoot clothing collections from home now rather than on location?

What is Zoe's view on goal setting and self-care?
-Zoe shares that while goal setting works for some, there should be no guilt or pressure around it.

Transcripts
hello guys and welcome back to our
Channel I am back we are back well it's
just me to start let's
go everywhere kids toys guys everywhere
oh I'm so happy to be back guys we took
a bit of an unexpected break in January
but we are back like I said it's just me
James has gone uh just taking the dogs I
say dogs cuz we're looking after to
James's parents dog at the moment and so
he's taking the dogs and Mabel on a dog
walk and visit my Ms today I've been
filming all morning this morning and I
just it's one of those where I've been
wanting to pick up the camera for ages
but I feel like I've been you know when
like you've had a bit of time off
something and then you're like
overthinking the return back to it like
even just getting back to General work
after like Christmas holiday or whatever
but just going back to vlogging I was
thinking I needed like a full day where
I was doing something exciting and it
just wasn't coming guys then we were
traveling we came back home and I just
thought today I just thought right I
finished my filming I'm just going to be
although I'm just doing boring stuff now
the rest of the day editing and tidying
like this kitchen is an absolute mess as
you'll see in a minute I just thought
let's pick up the camera and just go it
might be over seven days random footage
here and there but that is what our life
is at the moment and I feel like if I
don't rack on and just film
something thin hair doesn't always suit
that style um if I don't crack on and
just kind of get on with it I'll never
do it and I have so much to catch you
guys up on I feel like I'm going to chat
your face off for five hours I've
started writing a notes page on things
that I need to tell you about because I
just have so much it's been a long time
since I've spoken to you guys so I won't
bore you with all of these points now
just general things that we've been
doing so I actually might make myself a
cup of tea guys let's have a cuper I've
only had about six today so far yeah
we've just had like General things going
on with house move I can't remember what
the last update on that was but
basically everything was going great we
were actually like going to be moving in
into a house at the end of January chain
was complete everything was going we
found this house we loved we had the
whole train like by by boom boom ready
to go then our buyer's buyer pulled out
and then it all just collapsed and went
downhill from there so we're back
viewing houses we've been kind of like
that's kind of you know and it just like
whizzes around in your head all the time
something like that and you're just like
I just need to get on with my normal
life but also I can't stop looking on
right now um so there's that then we've
had a lot of pavas I think I did update
you on this in one of the recent Vlogs
the fixer rapper house that um our
friend is living in there has been so
many problems with it like leaks
everywhere everything collapsing
everything that's dramatic nothing
collapsed nothing that was really
dramatic that's what it feels like but
there's just been a lot of teething
things obviously we did a massive
renovation to it an extension a loft
conversion and like with any project
like that you have kind of like teething
issues so that's just been kind of we've
been popping back and forth there all
the time organizing roofers get in the
roof done like that's just been kind of
in the back burner like causing a lot
more stress than I thought it would of
so kind of regret that one although I'm
hoping fingers crossed cuz up to this
point well up to about last week there
hadn't been a day that hadn't gone by
where something like we weren't having
to organize something for that project
um so that ended up just taking up a lot
more time feel like I'm I'm just ranting
to you guys I promise I'm not
complaining I promise I just like
ranting to you as I would to my friends
um because you are my friends and I I
enjoy ranting to you yeah so that was a
whole palava and has been going on but I
can see the light and I'm like it's
going to be fine things finally feel a
bit more put together in the house as if
they're going to not be leaking every 5
seconds so that was that so we had the
house move we had that then we've also
been organizing we are potentially well
we are launching a brand but we are
hoping it's going to be in 2024 it was
actually going to meant to be originally
in March 2024 it's kind of moved more
out was September 2024 but I don't
really care when it releases the
Perfection of the product which is one
product that I am it's my dream brand
guys probably some of you can guess what
it's going to be but basically we're
organizing to fly out to the factory
which is in Turkey so we've been going
back and forth about all these things
sampling things kind of like obviously
to and from Turkey but now I just want
to get out there fit the samples on me
and our business partner who we're doing
it with and my mom's going to come out
with me as well because I need to go out
with Mabel because I'm still feeding
Mabel every few hours but we'll be away
too long from Amber we haven't really
been away from Amber for more than like
one night so James is going to stay here
with Amber so we've been sorting out all
of that as well and like when that would
work and how it would work with kind of
like when the factory can do that and
stuff so that's been another thing we've
been organizing those are kind of like
the main things that have been taken up
my head space and then I think just
going into the new year it's always that
like super overwhelming feeling of like
having to set yourself like goals and
things like that and just don't just
don't worry guys if you're not setting
goals you've set a goal by not setting a
goal do you know what I mean or if
you've set goals and you've not stuck to
them like it's it's a fun thing to do if
it works for you and you like doing it
but please don't feel guilty if goals
aren't what you need in your life right
now or whatever one thing though that on
that note that I did set for myself
which I did post about on Instagram was
oh my God I just made the weakest tea in
the world that is not like me how long
was that tea bag in like 5 Seconds
that's basically just milk can what was
I saying oh yeah gym shark 66 so gym
shark do this kind of like 66 days to
form a habit um and I said that I was
going to be doing movement for 66 days
straight but on Instagram I made sure it
was very clear that for me the movement
for 66 days is cuz I'm very passionate
about Fitness moving your body and
everything as you guys know if you watch
my Vlogs when I whenever I've kind of
like done a gym session or
whatever very passionate about movement
which is not based around how we look
which is not based around pressure or
like restriction or doing it because we
hate ourselves or we're feeling guilty
like I feel like I've come such a long
way on that journey of weight gain and
everything like that I needed that to
almost fall back in love with Fitness in
this new way that I have and then so in
the post I was talking all about sorry
I'm just going to grab a box cuz I want
to show you some samples yeah I was
basically talking all about how movement
it sounds like dramatic because it
sounds like it's going to be like
movement like doing a full workout every
day for the 66 days but it's 100% not
I'm aiming for like two if
that 20 minute or 30 minute workouts a
week the rest is like a stretch it's
yoga a walk um and if if I can't fit
anything in for the day it is just
mindfully doing one star jump before bed
you know it's that active thought of
it's hard to explain but I think the
daily
thought of wanting to move my body for
my my mental health my actual Health my
selfcare everything like that overall I
will move my body more but this only
works for me anyway if there is
absolutely no guilt and no like pressure
of like do you know what I mean so like
it's just a a way to remind myself that
I want to move my body for my health and
for my mental health but there is no
pressure to be doing like to hit any
goals of not even like health goals cuz
that's just not where I am in my life
right now and I finished that post that
I did on Instagram I did a voice over
and at the end I said that there was
which I really like love this kind of
like concept that there is different
seasons of Life your different seasons
of Life have different amounts of
movement in them okay I said it in a
more gracious way on the real and I
can't remember how I said it now but I
was basically saying that you know some
seasons of your life you can work out
however many times a week some seasons
of your life you can work out no times a
week some seasons of your life you can
prioritize your health some Seasons you
feel like it's really hard to prioritize
your health and I just think it's all
about being your own best friend being
kind to yourself and just doing it all
for the right reasons that for me has
been the biggest thing that kind of like
changed and just was amazing for me in
2023 so that's something I'm trying to
do bear in mind I haven't actually done
I did a walk yesterday with the girls
which was nice but uh today I haven't
actually done anything I'm thinking
today's a one star jump before bed and
I'm and I'm fine with that so I've got
to go through all of these samples now
so these are my shoot day samples that
have just arrived for my next in the
style collection next in the style
collection so I've got one coming up in
oh this is the one coming up in January
sorry then I've got swim in April I
don't even know if I meant to be saying
this but I'm just on this new thing that
I'm just going to blurt out everything
to you guys on YouTube because nobody
seems to you know know in the sty don't
watch my YouTube so it's fine I've got
then swim in April which is like a swim
slash kind of getting into spring we got
some like linen
trousers try on all these now make sure
they're all correct and ready to go for
the shoot shoot day which is next week
but I think I'm just doing an at home uh
shoot day for that because we haven't
got time to travel like we usually would
for it with this other trip that we're
planning to Turkey so let's try on the
samples I literally love when the sun
just beams in through the windows and
guys it is starting to feel like we're
getting there I mean we're not at all
it's still such short days um in terms
of sunlite and I'm not going to lie me
and James have definitely sorry the
camera I'm carrying this off box
upstairs me and James have definitely
been struggling this year with sad
seasonal I forget it every time but
basically the lack of sunlight it can be
really hard but so anytime the sun beams
in we just lap it in our Lumi light
though guys the one that we showed you
not going to lie it's in the filming
room because I've been using it for uh
instead of a ring light because it is so
bright but go I've L got to hide in my
cupboard it's so Sunny yeah it's been
helping so much that Lum light it really
really helped me in James and James like
struggles with it more than me and he
really kind of it's just like yeah it's
just I think it's just such a common
thing um but isn't talked about enough
but sunnier days are coming January is a
hard month I find I always feel like I
find January really hard and I know
James does as well and I know probably
so many of you guys do too so we're just
being kind to
ourselves we're looking forward to
sunnier days but not too much that we
wish away the year
focus in on the little things um so I'm
literally getting into my cupboard to
escape the
sun you can't see the clothes otherwise
okay this I love the snuggly sweatshirts
that we do with my in theile ranges I'm
actually going to try what if I put my
blind down a bit okay we're getting
quite dark Vibes now but I think at
least you can see the product um this is
like a loungy set I've got the black
this is long as well it's like a really
stretchy comfortable like
pajam
so I've reviewed most of those sorry
about the slightly hectic come back to
YouTube so yes I'm going to come down to
talk to you hop in the shower now I've
got 10 minutes till I need to leave for
my Ms and I just remembered that I still
have my fake tan on you know you put
your fake tan on and you like you meant
to wash it off well it's still on it
needs washing off so I'm going to wash
off the fake tan rip off the makeup with
the LMS cleansing balm and then shoot
out the house and go and get Amber James
and Mel are still on a walk they must
doing a hike I
literally
love I like look forward to
using theous cleansing bomb is it just
me no it's not because I feel like it's
a viral product for a reason since doing
that like allergy testing I'm
like should I be more lenient because I
did so I did that allergy patch test if
you don't know what I'm on about the one
where you like stickle those things on
your back and it kind of like tells you
what you're allergic to and I wasn't
actually allergic to anything but
obviously exma is like an autoimmune
chronic condition that it's not just
about allergies it's just you being kind
of sensitive to everything or different
things kind of will irritate your ex
even if you're not like allergic to them
or whatever I still feel like since
having the since knowing oh I'm not
actually like specifically allergic to
like scents well the ones they tested
anyway the 70 like most common when that
they tested I'm like H maybe like I
started wearing perfume again and it
hasn't been flaring me yet but I started
doing other things that before I
wouldn't have done I was almost ready to
go and then I forgot that I hadn't
moisturized my face after cleansing and
that would just be tight face torture
best moisturizer ever love it KS so so
so so so creamy so lightweight so lovely
love it really lovely aesthetic lighting
here for you guys oh that's better
obsessed with the skin of me I know I've
done my um few collabs with them over on
Instagram but I did actually start using
them before working with them um but
they've been kind of floating around
everywhere at the moment but if you
haven't heard of them they're just like
an amazing skin brand okay moisturized
and ready to go guys let's go
woo who's
that good morning morning guys it is
Curr curently 11:00 a.m. still in my
Jamies it's the next day um yesterday by
11:00 a.m. I felt like I was Conquering
the world doing
hello hello scrummy doing all sorts
started my filming has get cracking on
with things and now today I feel like a
hot mess at 11:00 Sim Jamies getting the
bare M done that's a pile of mess in the
background but there we go that's life
that's life um and you've got snotes
every everywhere
lovely and you are a dribbly snotter a
dribbly snotty because you're teething
this one's teething she's been up quite
a bit in the night lately can you see
he's saying
hello hello you do your
waving good cute a little wav is like
this you're brings me a lot of happiness
doesn't it get away
then is that fun
oh that's very special she goes this
everyone on we went to tenar and we came
back a couple of days ago and she was
waving at everyone like that in the
restaurants and everyone was like oh
they thought she was saying like but I
was like that's her way so yes she uh is
up quite a bit in the night at the
moment I mean she's still up just
checking that radio is not hot no she's
still up three times a night anyway and
um Amber did that until I stopped
breastfeeding she woke up three times a
night so I kind of knew for a feed so I
kind of knew that was always going to be
the case but I feel like don't know why
but it always gets towards like cuz
she's literally guys going to be one
you're going to be one years old what's
happening what's happening where's my
baby gone she going be one years old in
like eight weeks that is just crazy to
me crazy crazy crazy yeah like I think
towards I don't know towards getting to
a year I remember it with Amber just
even though I've been feeding three
times a night for nearly a year towards
the end I'm just like I can't do it
anymore but yeah so I Just Whipped some
gym stuff on I just put mael down for
her nap cuz she was so tired I don't
think I really finished my um last
whatever I was saying earlier but I
think I was basically saying I think
towards like I feel like it takes at
least like a year after having a baby to
start even remotely feeling like
yourself again and then as it comes more
to like feeling back to a bit more like
yourself and you start kind of like
doing more things for yourself or you
know taking on a little bit more in Life
or going out with your friends more
doing things more late at night and life
kind of returns a little bit more to
normal I think that's when you realize
how tired you are from being up at night

normal like fun things anyway I'm just
feeling it lately

lovely little wave and what's your other
favorite thing to say oh her nodded
that's lovely
hello maybe we should practice
hello oh you just like waving yeah
today's the day that I'm shooting the
collection like I said before like in
the past we kind of used to well not
that long ago go to the cotw world or go
to these shoot locations where we did it
but with our life now and how kind of
hectic it is and with the girls it just
works better for me to shoot at home I
know it's not as glamorous but I think I
just found after doing it once no one
really cared in a in a good way of like
it wasn't really about the location it
was just about like I think people just
more enjoyed me just being at home
wearing the clothes and just talking
about you know why I chose to design
these ones and this and that I'm going
to pop this one to Betty bu cuz she is
very tired and do her nap should we do
night
night night night night wake up time
night night wake up time night
night wake up
time night
night she's so cute so we're halfway
through shooting the collection um the
other half of the collection is actually
due to arrive today so I'm really hoping
because we've got a hectic rest of the
week with traveling to Manchester like
fitting sessions um on the fit model
like seeing all the samples and
everything for June so we're making a
trip of that with both the girls and
we're going to go to like wesland Safari
is it called Westland Safari Park yeah
like on the way cuz it's kind of like in
between here and Manchester so we're
doing that this week and then tomorrow
we have like a full day of house
viewings so I'm really hoping that he
arrives in time to shoot shoot it today
or I'm going to have to rearrange
something um to get that done tomorrow
yeah so halfway through that James and
mael are downstairs I'm going to go and
join them we're going to have some lunch
together and then hopefully the
collection will arrive soon I feel like
there was something else I was going to
tell you guys and I can't remember what
it is hello are you going to let me lure
in good girl you're going to be very
helpful hello hello oh my gosh it's so
windy still no the leaves the whole
garden is just blowing up guys we about
to literally tie the trampoline down
hello hello cheky girl what you doing
your cooking with
Daddy give me a
cudle super quick punch the hair the
hair honestly James that's my favorite
hair cut I know it looks good doesn't it
yeah yeah did you walk down well it's
like the barber shop isn't it you get
loads of different Barbers there two
that are particularly good at doing my
hair great at doing other people's hairs
but they just I love it you need to copy
and paste that every time I should take
a photo take a photo and say recreate
turn to this please it looks so good but
I can never get over how quick James's
hair grows it literally looked like that
for like a week won't it and then it'll
be grown out but I don't know what they
do do you get me cuz they're like do you
want a tapered or a a straight back I'm
like you don't even know the words like
what do you think and for the first time
today the guy actually explained what
they meant I'm like whatever you think
would look best so these tapered at the
back which means that it like blends
do you want a high paid or a low paade I
was like um maybe like a medium paade
you have no clue oh you need to remember
now what you've done for that one I know
You' forgotten already haven't you Mum
High F oh it's a museum high fade okay
good let's go for that every time
then but there it does look slightly
different every time but to be fair they
can't go too wrong but I was just
laughing about the amazing difference
between men and women cuz there was a
guy down there sitting next to me who
was like oh I just want this and this
I'm getting married in a few days and
but that was like me for our wedding I
was like I'm getting married tomorrow so
can you just do an okay job the
difference between women we've got to go
for like hair trial see what style did
you had a hair Tri everything and I was
like yeah just just give me something
okay itrow tid it up give it a clean are
you okay what have you been up to also
guys I think if any Italians are
watching I have like the the c s oh yeah
I'm chopping up the mushrooms so that
it's easier for the girls to eat but
nice have you sh that we do this oh for
the girls yeah it just makes life easier
it's so much easier I feel like anyone
like spaghetti obsessed you can't break
it's a crime just breaking it up yeah
because then otherwise you try it's just
like effort to chop all the spaghetti
once it's cooked for the girls but we do
give ourselves long spaghetti don't
worry about that we do I'm going to
separately it's okay guys we obviously
never do the snappy snappy for us no we
don't James don't act let we do hav't we
done that before I don't even care just
I just shovel it down my mouth guys I
clearly don't even notice oh this is
what we're cooking this looks amazing
yum hi guys okay finished filming
content and stuff for the day remembered
I forgot to show you my knitted cardan
remember I was thought that thing was
going to go off again those kids toys
going off 24/7 so yes we are picking up
Amber soon she's actually gone to the
cinema for the first time with my mom
today and and I'm so excited to see her
when we pick her up because whenever she
does something like new like she goes to
a show or she's like been to the cinema
today for the first time we will just
sit and talk she loves to tell stories
and like she will sit and just tell me
all about it I think I I showed you guys
before when she was telling me about
when she went to see Hansel and Gretal
and she was literally like re like
reciting the whole like story to me and
I just can't wait she's want to see the
new Disney film wish um and I can't wait
to hear what she's going to tell me all
about and it just it's such a
lovely like thing I love doing when like
we've kind of had a working day and she
comes home and we just get to like sit
and chat and kind of like connect over
what she's been up to which is so Lush
so what was I saying so yeah we're going
to pick up Amber soon um I just wanted
to ooh sorry my grandma's ruing me sorry
I'm back my grandma just called me she
was like do you know where your mom is I
was like she's in the cinema I was um
she needed to call my mom about
something she wasn't getting through to
her and my mom never goes to the cinema
and Cinema is like one of the only
places you can't obviously you're not on
your phone right guys the knitted gem
pet wait let me pull the half on half
off let me pull the pull the hot water
on my teeth so I was knitting this for
ages I think in one of the last Vlogs
before Christmas I would have been
showing you guys my progress of my
knitted jumper but I basically just went
to Hobbycraft got one of their Little
Rock CP things which was like a chunky
cardigan um what do they call it pattern
to knit and then I just knitted it but
the the funniest thing is it's not funny
it's actually very sad I'm actually
allergic to wool and I knitted it all in
Wool so it's so itchy for me but I'm
thinking maybe if I like put it in the
wash put loads of fabric softener on it
I feel like maybe you can't see it see
it very well in this uh lighting and I'm
not stepping guys this is my life right
I'm stepping
on these letters as I'm trying to talk
to you I'm just one of those little
letters is getting stuck to my foot
every 5 Seconds let me show it to you in
the mirror you know it's it's it's
imperfectly perfect there's also a
massive sofa cushion on the floor so
we're just going to move that for a
minute okay it's way too bright you
probably can't see a thing oh look if we
come a bit closer okay the sun is the
sun is sunning guys but it is definitely
imperfectly Perfect Look we've got a
little hole there I just literally scagg
one bit on the way down I think I scagg
that little bit of sleeve but I'm so
chuffed with it I'm literally so so
chuffed it's the cutest little chunky
cardigan and look at the back I'll show
it to
you on here right so I can show you
right guys I can show you my skills my
cable knit back so the sleeves have I
think it's called MOS Stitch can't even
remember what this is called this I
can't remember um and then we got a
cable net on the back guys I'm obsessed
I just need to now recreate that cuz
it's my perfect cardigan shape I just
need to recreate it in like either like
a marina wool which I think is like soft
and I don't find itchy on my skin or
like a cotton you know like knitted
jumpers like can be 100% cotton
sometimes so I'm assuming there's like
cotton wool not wool cotton thread or
something I could use we'll see but I'm
cheed with that oh and while my te Bru
so I was coming to the end of that
around Christmas time and then James got
me for Christmas it's in the lounge cuz
I usually do it when we're chilling the
evening I think James by the way Mel's
gone for her second nap and I think
James is in here working there he is oh
lovely MAA
thank thank you so much that was
gorgeous you just wanted to say a little
hello did you with a nice little gag um
this is what James does every day just
on his computer on his laptop in his
little desk corner so James got me for
Christmas sorry James you're not
interested enough I'm just talking about
knitting here rather than panning to you
doing work as I feel like our pictures
are just getting worse and worse I know
look at them like What's happen but
Amber goes yesterday she was literally
like why are there no pictures of me on
there she's like where am I yeah I was
like um I was like yes Amber you're
right I need to get some pictures of you
and mayel I mean these are super old
they're literally from when well that's
from when we got engaged
just yeah yeah they are you're right
yeah oh New York on the end there but
yeah we need to get some new on Mabel
enough we do don't we and we've got
don't need any well we've got Amber
we've got none of Mabel there she is in
the womb that'll do and I also like
printed like a million photos from when
Amber was um a baby as you do like look
how many I've
got like massive we said when may turns
a year old we go back the year and uh
print the five photos we've got of
her I know I do really need to get some
printed and so sorry you just carry on
I'm just uh chatting about crafts here
so yeah James then got me for Christmas
so excited a blanket to do which I was
excited about cuz I think he went for a
blanket because I'd been a little bit
stressed doing my cardigan like every
night I was thinking that we'd be able
to watch Telly and I would just carry on
knitting my cardigan but in reality I
was like I need to do a loop through
Stitch through pear back like try to do
all this like tapering and the arm holes
and then sewing it together was just a
nightmare so I was like right next
project I need a simple word so he's
gone for a super chunky blanket and he
couldn't have nailed it anymore it's
basically just this really lovely that's
does not give you a good idea of what it
is um it's going to be like this really
chunky this was me doing my tester
because how hilarious are these needles
guys because the wool is so chunky you
basically have a tiny bit of needle and
then a thread sorry I'm not showing this
too very well you get like a tiny bit of
needle and then this thread which all
the stitches go onto and then that's
what you knit with like knit knit knit
knit knit but there's going to be 52
stitches that was just my tester and so
they'll all go onto this so rather than
having these massive chunky needles like
that um so yeah I've just done my little
tester bit there and then I'm going to
start on the blanket I think tonight the
other thing I'm trying to get back into
is my embroidery I'm trying to make time
like I said cuz me and James are like
passing ships um doing all different
things in the day at the moment um we
try and make time to kind of like have
time together in the evening but then if
I if say like James is going out with
his friends or whatever and I
I'm on my own in the evening then I
really struggle and I'll like scroll on
my phone and do stuff like that so I
love that's why I love having my craft
so I can like merge myself in my craft
to like stop myself going on my phone
and just scrolling forever even though
I'm not the best I still end up
scrolling a lot the time more than I
would liked to so yeah then I want to
get back into my embroidery where did I
put that and somebody I follow posted
something really sweet about it was just
all about this quote you guys know how
much I love a quote I can't remember the
exact quote but it was all about like
how
basically we're always like I'll be
happy when I'll be happy when I've got
this job I'll be happy when you know
I've got a bit more time I'll be happy
when this happens that happens and it's
just like actually I'm happy now so that
was what I
embroidered I'm happy now I'm not
actually
happy I'll be happy when I get this
embroid me right that is such a funny
irony that I was just going to go on to
say like I'm not that happy with it okay
because the lettering is not right and
nothing's it didn't really turn out how
I wanted it to look but the message is
there I'm happy now and I was just
playing around with a little bit of
embroidery and I was thinking of like
printing I got some like letter stamps I
do with Amber and I was thinking of
putting them above like I'll be happy
when and then like Crossing it out and
then I'm happy now I just love that like
I'm happy now like I'm happy now why do
we need to always be looking for the
next thing I'll be happy when I do this
I'll be happy when I do that like no I'm
happy now I'm happy with my cup of tea
I'm happy with all the amazing things
that I'm blessed with so
yeah that's my craft update for you guys
I feel
like I have chattered your faces off a
million about a million different things
in this blog now but oh we run out of
sugar we're going to have to go brown
sugar in the in the tea whenever I run
out of sugar I just stop putting brown
brown sugar and my teas and
coffees um so yes basically now I'm just
going to sit have my cup of tea do some
editing while I have my cuper on my
phone then run upstairs take the makeup
off
and go and get Amber and that's it and
we got house viewings tomorrow which I'm
so excited about hello guys it is now
the next day did I Vlog yesterday I
can't remember hello you got my haircut
yesterday oh yeah deal the days are just
flowing by so we have just come back
from the just G by so fast that I didn't
know how many days it been again I know
so we have had a morning of house
viewings we had two house viewings this
morning and also one last sample has
arrived for my section oh you're in the
yeah I've done the shoot day well I just
did like the at home shoot day like I
was saying but one of the pieces didn't
make it in time cuz I know one of the
last things I vlogged was I was waiting
for the rest of the samples but they did
arrive thank goodness but one little
piece was left so I'm going to have to
randomly shoot this L on its own it's
going to look completely different from
the rest of the samples but there we go
have you show the despaired look of our
trampoline Clinging On in De life got
the back of the G not time it's not for
me I know it's not at all is it it's
there Clinging On we we had to tie it to
that massive tree because it was the M
like storm thing coming in tie all your
stuff down and then after we tied that
down someone I follow on Instagram said
they they woke up with their trampoline
in their Garden in their neighbor's
Garden the next morning and like how did
you get it back how do you get it back
you have to Crane it back over crane it
they're not that heavy what are you
going to do pass it over oh can you just
pick up my trampoline and pass it to me
you can go and help them I'm not saying
your neighbor should throw it over the
fence a high fence you can throw it how
high is the fence it's
high I don't
no too high to pass it over but
hopefully you just need to guess to Wi
go in the way just throw it in the
air it's never going to flow back over
now so it's stuck in so I'm glad we tied
it down sorry could I to go all the way
around the world going in the same
direction until it came back where's
your letters do you want you to have a
look at your letters you got nowhere to
play today she's so lonely when Amber's
not here well she's not that lonely
she's whizzing around whizzing around
with us but uh when she does her play
time she's like wish shambo's here to
throw these letters in the air and whiz
them in my face like that it's quiet
time and she's on it's just so peaceful
I know look how peaceful that is Amber
would have these spred across the floor
is that
nice
hello so get CH gy so we' done we had
two house FS this morning absolutely
loved one of them but we're trying not
to let our heart get too carried away
because of the fact obviously we're not
actually procceed yet so I absolutely
loved it guys but I really struggle to
not get
like I'm like I want to move in right
now sold love it um so we had to try and
not get like that cuz I you know we're
actually not pedable yet but it's nice
that we found another one that we love
um so yeah just trying to like that's
fine I find it hard to then not like
think about it all the time um just cuz
I'm a very homebased person like you
guys know I just like I'm a bit of a
like home I just love it um anyway so
we've done that this morning now the
afternoon this afternoon has been in the
calendar for so long we're having the
strategy meeting of 2024 with our
managers which like I was saying in one
of the last Clips is that's the type of
work where me and James actually come
together and do our work which is quite
nice get to like do that type of working
stuff together so we basically got a
massive call all afternoon when Mel naps
hopefully she often goes down for like a
2hour nap um at around 3:00 so we're
hoping to to get a big long call in then
and we basically go over o tripping over
the letters again the whole of the
strategy for 2024 basically it's kind of
boring but also I find it really
exciting because we just talk about
Brands and like different things and
like goals and different things that we
like look would want to do and like how
we can kind of achieve those goals and
like work with certain because I just
love working with brands that I love and
I also I love like being introduced to
new brands through what we do but I also
love like say for example LMS I know I
was literally taking off with my LMS
cleansing balm I haven't worked with LMS
before and that's like a bit of a dream
of mine to work with them because that
product has been so important to me and
even though I've already linked it and
I've already shared it I still just find
that exciting working with brands that I
love and like really just want to share
and talk about their products so I just
love that whole set of social media so I
really enjoy like the strategy calls and
the strategies behind everything and our
managers are just lovely as well so we
just have a lovely little catchup call
with them all afternoon bye have a nice
