Hi Helen. I hope you have a really Happy Mother’s Day! Unfortunately,I’m not a baker,cook or seamstress but I do enjoy watching your ‘ at home with Helen’ videos. I really admire all your skills and the results are so impressive. Ah- that beautiful birdsong- I could listen to that all day long! 💖🌸

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you very much, hope you have a lovely day xx

[@anne4083]

Never get bored with Helen!!

[@Helenmaryjo]

That's good xx

[@tinahowson8335]

Hi Helen, As I am aging I am finding increasingly harder to get a good comfortable nights sleep. This is largely due to my pillows I believe. Whilst they are not cheap pillows I think one of these pillows may possibly help with a painful neck in the morning. Love how easy the butter method is and as I cannot have much salt this seems ideal. Thank you for sharing, enjoy your weekend. Take care xx

[@essanjay8604]

I must have bought six or seven different types of pillow in the past year tina, but recently found out I have cervical spondylosis (wear and tear arthritis of the neck)! Since I started physiotherapy four months ago it's gradually starting to improve. I'm not saying don't try a different pillow - but perhaps not as many as I did!

[@Helenmaryjo]

It is trial and error for sure. xx

[@Helenmaryjo]

Glad you've found something that helps.xx

[@samanthawright3653]

Love your At Home with Helen videos. Thank you, watching you make butter took me back to a really wonderful time in my childhood, with Nan and Great Aunt… making butter, scones and a glorious Victoria Sandwich cake. 🍰💕

[@Helenmaryjo]

Ah, that's lovely. Thank you xx

[@shirleywormald3197]

I didn’t realise you would get so much butter out of that pot of cream,enjoyable video,I like these varied ones,will definitely try the butter.I do lots of crafts and always like to see more,thanks Helen❤

[@Helenmaryjo]

It's very satisfying xx

[@maureenlowther7621]

I love your at Home with Helen I love to watch you making things I am useless at anything like that. Loved seeing you make your butter, I presume you can spread it on bread or scones with jam as well. Very interested in the cool quilt will have a look at that. Thank you for sharing.❤️❤️

[@Helenmaryjo]

Yes, it's just normal butter. xx

[@BIRGITTAQF]

This reminds me of homework when i was 8. We did not have any electrical tools so we whipped by hand. Thanks Helen you are the best. ❤

[@Helenmaryjo]

Ah, thank you xx

[@DeeSmith-b7c]

Thank you Helen for all those useful tips. The quilt is a really good innovative idea I have my quilt on and off all night😜I love looking around your fab home (I’m so nosey) I also love sorting out drawers and cupboards and boy once I start I just want to do more. Now we have retired we have time to do that all the small things you put up with can now be done. You are so practical like me why throw things away when they seem perfectly good go by the smell that is what I tell my kids. Looking forward to more. Xxxx

[@Helenmaryjo]

My pleasure, thank you for watching xx

[@danicacharles4221]

Hi Helen, I really enjoyed this vlog. The bread looks so delicious along with the butter...if your free ill pop round with the jam 😂😊 Love the glasses case, too. Thank you as always for sharing your day and your household tips. Enjoy your weekend 🤞the sun will put in an appearance 😊❤

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you very much xx

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

Hi Helen,I have made a lot of butter at the restaurants I have worked at from heavy cream that was about to go off,and I never found it necessary to put it in ice water,I just took it out of the Hobart,and squeezed it through cheese cloth,I don’t know if it makes a difference that I would be using about 10 quarts of cream at a time.Maybe a small amount gets too warm,and needs the ice.I also often have milk that is going off,so I make cheese,and the whey I freeze,and use when I make soup,I just love it in soup,so you could freeze it,and use for scones,or soup,you can make ricotta too,though I never have enough whey to make that practical.

[@Helenmaryjo]

The ice part just seems to make it purer, but not sure if it's absolutely necessary xx

[@renablythman6243]

Honestly Helen I think I'm losing the plot😃I've spent a lot of your great video pausing it to hear the non existing birds outside ,clearly the birds stopped when I paused , I must have paused it 3 times before the penny dropped, they really felt to me they where here( Odear😂😂 )urgent help is needed, love watching you sharing your tips❤❤

Thank you Helen, brilliant as usual, I never knew you could that with cream and will be doing it in future. Also love the idea of the glasses case as like you I never have room for my case (they are heavy as well) in my handbags and I need them as they are prescription lenses, so it’s on my list to make. 👓👓👓

[@Helenmaryjo]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you xx

[@AO-oy4rf]

Thanks for showing us how to make butter as I don't use milk & buy cream for my coffee sometimes I get to when it is past its use by date too and didn't realise you could turn it into butter. I only have a hand beater so might take a while but looks easy!

[@Helenmaryjo]

You can put it in a jar and shake it too, it has the same effect. Good exercise! haha xx

[@helenparker3165]

Helen you have been busy. Very quick butter. Love the wee glasses holder.Thanks for showing.xx

Just a thought, as that butter was an extra you could add maple syrup or honey and whip it to make a light flavoured sweet butter

[@Helenmaryjo]

Good idea, thank you xx

Hi Helen, a " hells bell" here lol.. in one of your videos, you mention a leg tan you use, I did write it down at the time, but now I can't find it. Can I trouble you for the name please. Thank you for the videos, which I enjoy and useful tips you give out along the way, like the washing up liquid and white vinegar , after my showers, works a treat! Laura x

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you. This is what I use, it's a leg make up, but it is brilliant. Once it's dry it doesn't come off until you wash it off. In my experience anyway.... xx ** amzn.to/3ydSxHB

Thankyou Helen a nice little change for us tonight, will try the spec case as have a box full of little leftover fabrics. I'm busy sewing with two other ladies from my craft club, we're making 27 shopping bags to hang over the handles of wheelchairs in Lourdes. We think they would be handy for cajoules, water bottles etc, they are all in the same distinctive fabric and we're really pleased with how they are turning out. We've paid for this project out of money we raised through our xmas fayre. Thankyou for sharing your day with us all, luvnhugs Margaretx

Hi Helen, so enjoyed that…a bit of everything. Must have a go at making butter as you explained it so well. Last night, Friday 10th, my eldest son sent me three photos on his phone of the Northern Lights … phenomenal and if it hadn’t been nearly midnight I would have driven the 5 miles to his home to see them. 😆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 xx

[@myoung6204]

Helen, one of the reasons I like your videos is because although you're so talented and obviously good at interior design and craft work etc, you're so very normal and witty. I love to see the finished results of your at home vidoes doing things I wouldn’t have the patience for. Had to check our patio door was closed because your birds have a few relatives living in our trees just outside here in NI! All the best to Rob for his procedure. It'll be good for both of you when it's all over. ❤

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you very much, that's very kind xx

[@shirleygroves8139]

My aunt used to make butter straight from the cows ,she used to churn it and she had wooden pats to shape it . If only then was now I was to young to appreciate it .

Thank you, that was a 600 ml carton of double cream. xx

[@clairecole8675]

That was very interesting Helen thank you. I wondered if you made your wrist pin cushion as it looks so handy also in your pantry cupboard what are your small spice jars in? It looks like it fits on the inside of the door a good use of space. I was amazed at how you made the butter too-so clever.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Thank you. The spice shelf was from Amazon, I just found one that fitted the dimensions of my door. Obviously, you need space inside the cupboard too xx

Ooh, lovely Saturday evening treat! I’m typing this mid-watch, so I might jump the gun. For those ‘of us of an age’ my best buy in pillows were investing in wool pillows. The moisture wicking, natural product has given me much better sleep. My next investment will be a wool duvet. Sounds counterintuitive as wool is known for its warmth, but trust me it make such a difference.

[@AO-oy4rf]

Hi I recently bought a wool pillow too and am experimenting with different pillows as find it very hard to find one I like & so far very happy with the wool one too. Also was shocked at the cost of pillows nowadays (at least in NZ) some are very expensive but managed to get the wool one 60% off. I have had a wool duvet for years and years it is one that you can pull apart and join together for more warmth (effectively 2 duvets). The only thing is I find it a bit heavy but have had it for years and is still going strong.

[@Helenmaryjo]

That sounds good. xx

Thanks for the tips Helen and I enjoyed the video as usual. How are you getting on with the And Begin cream serum? I signed up with them and really liked the product. However I’ve now discovered they are moving from every 6 weeks at £39.99 for 30ml to a monthly subscription/payment of £29.99 but for only 18ml which is a 25% increase in £ per ml. 😡 Definitely not what I signed up for so I’ve cancelled my subscription. Such a shame as it’s a really lovely product.

[@Helenmaryjo]

Hi, I love the serum and I do think that it is making a difference. I'm sorry to hear that about the subscription price. Have you been in touch with the company? They were really very nice to work with. It might be worth reaching out to them with your observation. Thank you xx

[@lesleylushington4979]

@@Helenmaryjo I’ve emailed them with my concerns as their customer service is excellent. I made a complete hash of the initial questionnaire and they very nicely questioned my replies which made me 74 and pregnant, a finger slip obvs 😂 let’s see what they say about the subscription change. Thanks for your reply to my comment though, the amount you get must take you all day to reply to!

[@Helenmaryjo]

@@lesleylushington4979 Not at all, let me know how you get on. The cream is very good in my humble opinion, but has to be reasonably priced. xx

[@lesleylushington4979]

Me again, I just received a lovely email from Tia at AB who apologised for the fact I hadn’t been informed of their new pricing as all new customers will be signing up at the new price of £29.99 4 weekly for 18ml and existing customers will be moved onto the new subscription. As a gesture of goodwill they refunded my order but asked me to keep and use it. Their customer service skills are exemplary but the product, although lovely is just not affordable for me currently ☹️
