I can’t imagine moving after living here for 24 years 😮

You can do it!!!!!!! If I can you will💙

First thing I noticed was your hair actually. Looks very nice on you Mel 😊 life can get busy, looking forward to seeing you again soon hopefully. Take care always

Mis you Mel❤

I keep checking for a new video. Hope you’re ok!

Mel, I hope you come back to KZbin. You are so missed. Please come back 🙏🙏🙏🙏.

I put you on the big tv. Extra motivating.

Cara from the future. I need sone motivation.

Hope you are okay, i miss your videos

Mel este video ya es pasado....es tu casa anterior....

Haha sun so early I feel you! Wait till summer and it’s 4:30 not looking forward to kids up even earlier!

Can't watch anymore I hate this music. Why this song ? Stick it to you! 🥴

I was in a similar situation 4 years ago. I cut back so much and did every side hustle imaginable when I wasn’t working full time. I’m almost debt free! You can do it!

I like the way you do your shirts to hang, I’m going to do that. Greetings from Northam WA.

Love a good ramble!! Also, hair is looking fab

Hi Mel, your new hair do looks great, I feel you over finding a good hairdresser, mine is very curly, it was down to my bum but after the coma i had to cut it off, it's now back to shoulder ish height. Yes take mum-in-law away sounds like a special time ❤

Hey Mel good to see you again. I like your new hair color. I remember the peri stage of life and it makes me laugh because I printed out a list of symptoms for my hubby and highlighted 'irrational irritability'. it was good to have an excuse right?

Love it please do more grocery hauls

Fair to middling as my grandpa used to say. Glad to hear from you beautiful ❤️

New sub here lm in reg vic,good haul

Mel, I love your haircut and the color is beautiful on you! Hair and nails! So glad you are doing things for yourself. You certainly deserve it. Have fun on your girls trip! I remember you talking about them. Be kind to that foot and elevate and ice it! Love ya! ❤❤❤

Hi Mel, your hairs are so amazing! You look great (and younger)! Have a nice week!🤗

Love the chit chat ramble its feels like talking with a friend when the conversation jumps from one thing to another😂❤

I've had to have two iron infusions over the years and I cannot tell you the difference it makes. The first time, I hadn't realised just how bad I had gotten because it was a slow decline but I felt like a different person afterwards. I really recommend getting it done if your levels are low enough for a doctor to suggest one. Or else, supplements help too but obviously take longer. And my mum and I had different standards of clean and tidy when I was a kid too 😂 lots of little squabbles until we figured out a system lol P.S. love the new hair (I could've sworn there was a hair flip emoji but 💁‍♀️ this is the closest I can find...)

So funny Mel, when you said you hope the car doesn’t break down 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I’ve had those same hopes many times over, whilst wearing my not so finest clothes 🤣🤣. You are your husband are such hard workers, and are wonderful parents. You are inspiring to so many of us. Much love ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

I will be the big 50 on the 22nd, and the big "M" has hit me hard too girl! I actually have a twice weekly estrogen patch that I put on my tummy right below my navel. These patches have helped me greatly with menopausal symptoms. Particularly with night sweats and mood swings! I really enjoyed this chatty catch-up! ❤

Hi Mel, always good to see your posts. Good news and the more challenging news. So you are Premenopausal, have a still healing injury that impairs your mobility, kids, employment, settling into a new home, and everyday life! Wow,you are amazing. Be kind to yourself. You have a wonderful family. Enjoy the entertainment that is planned. Don't worry about acknowledging this little note. This visit made my day better. Thanks! 🌷

So great to see things finally coming together after the move and surgery. You are SO strong, even though you may not feel it sometimes! Can't wait for the decluttering videos, especially since you're in a smaller space. We had to downsize dramatically and while I'm still going at it six years later, every step makes a difference! ❤

Girl. Iron insufficiency is *no* joke. If your insurance won’t cover the infusions, ask about the best supplement you can take. Mine had dropped to 3 around your age, and I told doc afterwards that he saved my life - it was *that* much of a difference. Currently my oldest daughter is a 4 and waiting for insurance to get on the ball 🤬 so her infusions can start.

Could you maybe pre-plan meals enough to let your kitchen staff (Instapot, crockpot, thermamix) work for you? A ‘set it and forget it’ approach? That way you’d still have an actual meal vs sandwich (and sandwiches are fine too) and no take out expense.

Thanks for the update, enjoyed your video! Keep them coming!

Hi Mel, great to see you. Pleased to hear you have some fun things to look forward to later in the year. Yay to finally getting to see Hamilton ❤

Your hair is so cute! Do you wear it down when you’re out? It’s really a great look on you!

Your doing so well Mel. And yes! I remember taking my son to work also about 40 minute round trip hoping I did not break down due to my less then attractive wardrobe…lol I am 48 and have been dealing with premenopausal symptoms for a few years now. Nothing major but noticeable. My cycles are every 24 days opposed to the 28 that they were. Night sweats but not horrible. Hope you enjoy your girls trip! I am still trying to navigate the world without my guy. Been almost 3 months and I just can’t with it. I’m trying and that is all we can do. Take care of you!

Good to see you. Thanks for sharing. 🩷

Will you be doing a financial update?
