Hi Emma! As someone who dyes their hair every colour imaginable, I’d recommend the Directions semi permanent hair dye pots! They’ve got loads of pink colours you can pick from, and if they’re still a bit too bright,’ you can mix a dollop of the dye with some conditioner to get a nice pastel/lighter colour. And then it washes out after a few weeks if you don’t want it to last! Another tip if you do want it to last, add a few dollops into your usual conditioner and then it tops the colour up every time you wash it! I’ve dyed my hair since I was 14 (27 next week 😬) so let me know if you have any other questions, I don’t mind helping where I can! 💕

[@brummymummyof2]

Oh you are an EXPERT!!!!!!

[@courtaknee44]

I had finally booked my dream Disney holiday for December, from New Zealand. Took me so long to book as I really struggle with flying. Haven't cancelled just yet, but have slowly accepted it probably won't happen. Just glad my country is getting better, and maybe I'm meant to go to Disney another time!!

[@brummymummyof2]

Oh no! I have hope December will be OK! -

I dye my hair pink. I've done it for like 9 years now. Punky Colour is my favorite one to use. It's inexpensive, you could get it on Amazon, or Ulta. It stays for a very long time and when it fades, it turns into a really pretty pastel pink. And it's pretty easy to remove if you wanted it gone, bleach would do the job just fine.

[@katrina28061]

Morning! I'm meant to be flying to Greece in 4 weeks with easy jet, I don't drive and national Express have cancelled all coaches so cannot get to the airport as flying from Gatwick which is an hour and a half away from me! but easyjet hasn't cancelled the flight and I can't change it as they don't have the flight available for next may yet so just sitting around waiting for them to cancel..

[@GenericRae]

Pink hair dye - I have blonde hair and I've dyed it pink loads in the past. I used Bleach London (you can get it from Boots), I used to use 'Rose' it's a light pink dye but they do have darker pink dyes too. When you dye your hair pink it does fade rather quickly but if you wanted it to last a little longer then Bleach London also make a pink hair shampoo and conditioner. I don't know what the conditioner is like as I only used the shampoo and that was good. On the other hand If you realise you don't like the pink then fortunately it fades quickly! As for the dye, I have thick hair so I used to get though 2 bottles, a little trick you can do if you don't have enough is to mix the dye with some conditioner to make it go further (this will pastelize the colour btw). I loved dying my hair pink it was the best 💕 good luck with it if you do decide to try it 💕

I'm forever getting messages/phone calls 'mum/nan have you by any chance got........' I usually have something that will suit. You have this to come when yours grow up and have children of your own. Kids expect you to be able to solve any problem or have just the thing they need. It always makes me laugh. I wouldn't change anything though. Your videos are great fun. Stay safe, take care.

Our Disneyland Paris trip got cancelled and our other family holiday is at the end of August so it is very likely that will be cancelled too which was a trip for my birthday. Don’t cancel your Disney trip though! If you don’t pay full for your holiday, you won’t get all your money back. Whereas if you wait for the travel company to cancel it they will offer you a full refund or a rescheduled trip.

[@RachelBirchley]

I love your garden. We’re lucky to have outside space but it’s a roof garden with a tarmac floor and on three levels so not hugely practical. Cancelling things.. my cousin was supposed to be getting married on 24th May. It’s been postponed til 9th August but still touch and go. We were supposed to be going back to France with my Dad after the wedding. Glad I didn’t book any flights! He lives in France in his own and has been in lockdown for ages now. Take care x

My daughter is also in Year 2 like Ethan. She’s coping ok with the work she’s been set, they’re getting work set every single day. However, she’s finding Writing quite hard as she’s not great with her imagination (she’s great at school I’ve been told) but she is managing them eventually, just takes a bit more effort. I’m furloughed and my husband is working from home so I’m stay at home Mum / teacher. My friend has had to push her wedding back a year. We’re due to go on holiday in July but I think that won’t be going ahead. It’s with my in-laws and we were taking my daughter out of school that I wasn’t particularly happy about so I don’t think I’ll be as disappointed as the rest of the family. My husband reckons sitting in a bath is the equivalent of stewing in your own filth (a’la Chandler). He has been playing games online with his friends at least 3 times a week (he’s almost 35) and we’re making our way through the Marvel films.

[@Weeannie]

We’re booked to go the week after you guys... we are trying to hold onto it going ahead as both me and my husband are key workers so trying to juggle full time work and schooling the kids. Could really do with a break but there will be other chances, more important to be safe x

We”re due to go to Disney like you at the end of August /early September but I really can’t see it happening. It’s so hard to know what to do but I want to re-book it as we got a good deal with the dining plan but no sure I want to later in the year with all the uncertainty on what the parks will be like when they open. Honestly though I think I’d be happy just chilling by the pool under the Florida sun. Xx

[@vickibowen1220]

We had to cancel a trip to Center parcs & also a trip abroad - very upsetting but we’re healthy & that’s the most important thing!

My husband and I have never been able to afford a holiday besides our honeymoon, which was paid for by the guests to our wedding instead of presents. But this year he organised the money for us to go away for my birthday to a spa hotel. My birthday was end of March. So it was cancelled. We've only recently got the refund from it. Gutted. But we're reminding ourselves that at least we haven't lost money from it, and we are thankful to be safe.

A tip for the dry hands: use one of those moisturising shower gels (like the Nivea or Dove kind) to wash your hands with! It still gets rid of any germs because the point of washing hands with soap is to lift the germs from your skin and wash them away with water. The soap doesn’t have to be a disinfectant to get the job done!
