Back To Work Vlog - Chatty Clean With Me, Cleaning Motivation

This week I was back to work and I put together a vlog. I had a list of jobs that needed to be tackled before I headed back to work. Clean with me! As I tackle my messy house, especially my messy craft room! I also tidied the garden, painted my skirting boards and even made a mud kitchen. I hope you enjoy this chatty clean with me video and get some motivation to get cleaning your home.

Catherine, You’re a beautiful young lady who has blessed MANY people with your videos through this crazy last several months. You’ve given us a break from all the worry, fear, and shared your life with us, I THANK YOU sweetie, you’re a wonderful person! ❤️We’ll be here when you can post more videos. Stay safe as you go back to work, and enjoy being back around your pals and workmates. Your flowers are beautiful! 🌸 It is scary here in the US, my state reopened almost a month ago 😱 Spikes of cases make me nervous. Thanks for your well wishes. 💕 Take care of yourself, God bless you!🌺❤️🌺 xoxo Ps. Thanks for the heads up on the Dyson, I was thinking about maybe getting one😉 Pss. LOVE your purple/ pink couch!

I’ve always loved that Irish people use Hoover as a verb😊. We just say we have to vacuum here in the States.

[@gailfreese3849]

Thank you for being honest about the Dyson. I had one many years ago and returned it because it was such a disappointment. I see so many KZbinrs endorsing the Dyson and, like you said, they are just not worth the money. Enjoy going back to work!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks Gail, Thanks for watching and commenting x x

[@Eva-cc5xo]

I don't have a Dyson, but a similar cheaper hoover by Vax. For a small two bedroom flat it's perfect, normally the battery lasts long enough. However, I imagine if you wanted to hoover a whole house in one go, it wouldn't be the right choice.

[@DS-kp4su]

I agree with you on the Dyson. I love my shark!

[@daniellagut72]

Hi sweetie! I´m in Argentina and is very scary right now. We´d been under lockdown for over 100 days and is hard on everyone. I ´m not working since March 14th (I´m a nail tech) and my economy is bad right now. I´m trying to keep positive and give thanks that my hubby, my boy and myself are healthy and we have food in our table, others are not so lucky. Keep safe and big hug

Sorry to hear that Daniella, Thanks for watching and commenting x x I hope you stay healthy and things pick up soon x

Bless you and your family Daniella. My state Oklahoma in the US reopened almost a month ago. It’s still scary, positive cases are rising here. Stay safe and well, take care of yourself.

Hey Catherine! I agree about the "real World" out there and wanting to keep it separate from your hobby. You have ALWAYS had great content and no matter what you post and when you are a bright spot in anyones day!!! I love how energetic you are with the cleaning (wish I had that much energy) and your home is so BEAUTIFUL!!! Your home is MY dream home. I love all the colors(especially pink), teacups, flowers, shabby chic, chippy paint, Victorian-ish, cottage-y white, and 2 cats!!! (My Sister & I dream of living in a cottage with 2 cats some day) Love EVERYTHING about your home, DIYs, Chit-chat, and Blondie & Pepsi too!! Thank you for all you do. TFS.😊 💖 👍 🐈🐱

Oh and the knot in your stomach with the return to school bit really resonated with me. As a high school teacher, that feeling has never quite left me! 😊

[@Patti-1962]

I’m so glad you took the time to talk about your Dyson. It’s hard not to get caught up in the hype. I’ll stick with my Shark vacuum that plugs in!

[@juliew3740]

I agree with you about the Shark plug in. I had a Dyson plug in model and it only lasted 1 year (I got more time from the cordless model but still had to replace the battery after 3 years). I purchased an inexpensive Shark model after the Dyson failure and it’s the best vacuum I’ve ever used. It cost 1/3 of the cost and works so much better. I’m a Shark convert!

[@Norvillesmith1214]

I love my shark Hoover.

[@ClementineDaydream]

I agree completely about Dyson vacuums! Dyson rage is a great way to describe it =)

[@debbiebrown3053]

I totally agree with you on the Dyson! We took ours back to Costco! It drove us crazy having to charge it EVERY TIME WE USED IT! And it didn’t suck up anything!! Love your absolutely gorgeous house, and all your diy’s. I just joined your Chanel and am loving it, all the way from Canada 🇨🇦!

Oh Catherine, I ventured out to have my hair colored yesterday and my friend (the hairdresser) shared so much about how Covid has affected her family, grandkids, her business and I left there really feeling sick. I may not be able to go out to dinner or travel, etc. But her life is unravelling. as well as her employees And so many more people. I feel BLESSED. You are a ray of SUNSHINE for ALOT of people right now! Thank you

[@DaintyDiaries]

I really appreciate that! I am so sorry to hear about your friend and her business, it really is a hard time. We are all in the same store but in different boats x

[@joannwillis8035]

Your home is so adorable! You are doing a wonderful job with your decor, renovations and up-cycles. I love your channel.

[@DaintyDiaries]

You are so kind Joann, I really appreciate that x

[@jodieroundtree488]

When you need to replace your Die-son, try the Shark rocket vacuum. I love it and have purchased one for my daughter and niece. Less than half the price of yours. However, it does have to be plugged in which I don't mind. Very long cord. I will also suggest the Shark steam mop. So much easier than your mop and bucket. It has reusable, washable pads. It cleans with hot water/steam so no scent and won't hurt your animals. Maybe get a Shark sponsorship instead! My fave tools!

[@CarrieRay]

I agree with you about Dyson. My fave is Shark Rocket

[@alexandrafingleton7407]

You look wonderful and as well as a great relationship with Siri during the lockdown you have been a life saver. Thank you.

I love your creative skills and your home is beautiful... with you 100% on the Dyson - thought I was the only person who thought they are totally over rated and charge exorbitant amount for something that is above average but not outstanding.

[@janazavitz212]

I had the same problem with the Dyson! Love your bike and the basket of flowers in your office!

[@loriar1027]

You’re absolutely right about getting back to normal is exhausting! Everything you said about that is exactly what I feel too.

[@alexisb.8965]

I'm late to this video but I agree with you! Dyson is overrated! I have a shark cordless (with two batteries!) That I got for $150 refurbished and it's been the best vacuum ever!

[@rachelphelps6347]

Thanks for the Dyson review. Others do rave about them and so I wondered. Good to know!! I like my time alone but I also miss the social visiting. I just can't wait to give someone a HUGE hug!!! Don't know when that will happen. I do get to hug my dog!! So thankful for him to cuddle with. My cats aren't' as fond of the hugs!! You know how that goes!! I visited my family but we social distance. I have worked a few days each month. My work continues on but there are several of us, so only a few work each day since the amount of work has slowed down. During this time it's been a blessing in other ways. I did get some much needed work done on the outside of my home. Looks so much better now!! So glad you posted. It's always a boost to see your smiling face!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Yes to a huge HUG! X and thank God for pets, I did wonder what people did who didn't have pets x

Hi Cathrine, I have worked the whole time with essential services, would love to have some spare time to sit and do my paintings, I feel the same as you do I often buy myself some fresh flowers they make me feel very happy I would have a massive flower garden if I had the time, but work takes a lot of my time, I feel so grateful that you are back to work and have some normality now take care 💐😊

I'm from America and visited Ireland right before lockdown (good timing thank goodness lol) and your staycation vlogs are making me ache to get back to Ireland 😢 such a beautiful country, my favorite I've visited thus far, so those vlogs are giving me ideas for my next time there.

You are so awesome and a bright and shining star. You are so right about 2020. Your comment about the challenges of 2020 made me smile. It gave me perspective. Life is still a good time. I am an so gratefully appreciative that you worked in the garden and filmed.. You videos encouraged me to plant some herbs and flowers today from seeds and to separate and divide some of my other plants. We have had 3 weeks straight of rain. The bouquet of flowers was quite beautiful. You are a funny tell it like it is girl. I live in the middle of America south of the five great lakes and east of Chicago. Love to see a strong happy woman and share a cup of tea. You are a naturally beautiful person.

[@karenwilliams5468]

Not sure how I missed your post Catherine but all you spoke is so spot on... just the unknown, all we can do is take it step by step one day at a time. It's certainly been emotional at times♡ none us, no doubt desires to see anyone, anything, any place in turmoil. 2020 "a new vision." Glad to know your slowly moving back into work and that it is closer to home. Certainly understand the desire to see people and work outside the home while doing youtube as a hobby, being creative and just enjoying that way, sounds wonderful😊 by the way, loved the little wooden kitchenette, so sweet. Your garden and flowered plants look awesome. You are the sweetest youtuber Catherine, love your channel of joy and your content. Keep keeping on, don't let anything steal your joy💝 bless you and enjoy work as you're able to go, Peace and Love🍃🌸🍃 cheerfully given, hugs😊

I am in Canada and work for Habitat for Humanity and most likely I work in one of your dream shops, we get donated furniture in and resell them with proceeds to help with affordable housing.

I do the merchandising for the store and I love the free reign of creativity to make displays appealing. I love your style.

Hello from Northern California. I have friends in Belfast and they too were surprised by the quicker opening in Ireland. I did send them all masks that I made and recieved a lovely picture of them all wearing them out in the community. Dyson, as you were vacuuming (hoovering) your couch I was thinking I really need to get one of those...then you stopped and did a review. Nope, will stick with the one I have. I fully get the isolation, it's hard and has affected my mental health. I work one on one with clients and having to work with them by phone for last 3 months has been lonely. I too live by myself. Anyway, this old lady always excited about Thursdays and your new posts. Good luck on Monday...YOU GOT THIS.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw what a sweet thing to do, to make them masks and send them x

[@marieradatsz4126]

I love to be home after I have been out.I had a two strokes and therefore I can't work. Routine is the hardest thing I struggle with. I am better if I have a time limit I get much more accomplished. I loved this vlog as it showed the fact that your not always tidy. Your one of us after all xx

[@lonniekellyhawkins288]

I have many models of Shark vacumn cleaners and I loved all of them! Better quality than Dyson and less money. I also love the Shark Heated Steam Mop.

[@sandybrunton-shiels4309]

You're right. I had a Dyson V8 animal which was not cheap a few years ago. Run time was meant to be 20 minutes but I was lucky if I got 10. The dust collector used to fill up so quickly it caused if to overheat and cut out. Expensive mistake. It lasted 2 years then stopped charging. I now have a Shark and whilst it's not cordless it has the lift away function so just like one really. Love it. I'm back to work on 4th July. A bit nervous about all the changes but will be so nice to see everyone again. Like you I live alone except for the cat and its lucky she's chatty or I'd have gone mad! I really miss giving people a hug x

[@LoomofDreams]

This is an older video, but it popped up in my feed so of course I watched! As for your Dyson ... I had a canister vac that lasted about 6 or 7 years and then it went caput. It started losing its suction way before that, but I didn't really notice until it got quite bad. Took it to be repaired, was told all the pet hair was blocking the motor so they gave it a good clean, but a week later it was dead again. At that point, I said never again to Dyson! The repair man told me that Dyson constantly needs to be repaired. So I then invested in a Shark (not sure if they have Shark vacuums in Ireland), and it's the best vacuum I've ever had. I wasn't overly impressed with the suction power of the cordless, but I love my corded one and plan to get a smaller version so I have a vacuum on both floors. If/when you're ready for a new one, see if Shark vacuums are available in Ireland. They are worth the money! Half the price of Dyson and much higher quality!

[@jennyharmony1371]

Shark vacuums!!!! They have several different kinds!! Mine has excellent suction after years of fur vacuuming! Lol

Lol Catherine on your Dyson rage haha. I was always so tempted by how great they appear to be. I wouldn't let myself fall for the hype. So glad now when u are voicing that opinion that it isn't as great as it seems. I had a hetty til she sadly died a couple months ago and I loved her. I've borrowed my mams nilfisk at the moment but I think I'm going to get another hetty. It's Henry's sister, she is a pink girlie so if you decide to leave ur Henry with ur mam then I highly recommend hetty.

Look at brave little Blondie peeking in on the hoovering (my lot are long gone when the vacuum fires up). I'm in Canada and had been off since March 18. I'm just back to my job in the optical industry this week, and between the new protocols, procedures and wearing a mask for 8 hours a day, I am wiped out by day's end (aside: thank you essential services peeps for living this life non-stop!). I feel like I'm brand new at a job i've done for nearly 2 years ... I know it will get easier, but I am strugglin' a bit in the meantime. That said, my troubles are tiny and I am grateful beyond measure for all I have.

my husband and I were never off work! so we didn't experience lock down. not all the way anyway, we didn't go out and do things like we were used to doing and we did grocery pick up several times! and now going to having only 1 active case and it wasn't from our work, but from someone on the other shift being around someone who was diagnosed with covid, we have at least 12 cases! our work does virtually nothing to try and prevent anyone from contracting the virus, we work in a factory so you are 2 ft if not closer! they have face masks, but they are out of them more then they have them! but enough of my rant! when you were talking about your dyson, I have a bissel rocket and I absolutely love it! it is corded! which I initially didn't want but now I am so glad that I messed up and bought one with a cord! so... thanks so much for sharing and I loved the vid! xoxo

I am so glad you gave your honest thoughts on the Dyson. I was thinking of buying one and you totally echoed exactly what my fears were with the unit. Thank you!! It would be so annoying to stop what you're doing just to recharge it. Annoying!!

[@melanielester2106]

A great video, nice to see your home and garden, they always look lovely. I've been working from home since with March 19th (I'm a secretary) and lockdown has definitely made me realise that I definitely do not like home working and prefer the home/work divide. No sign of our office reopening yet but if me not liking working from home is all I've got to complain about then I am very lucky indeed and very grateful to have my family, home and job. X

Thanks for watching and commenting Melanie, Yes, it is nice to have a balance of both, working from home is harder than people think. Are you able to get out to parks/cafes for lunch. Might help break up the day x

@@DaintyDiaries - Hi Catherine, I am fortunate that I live a few hundred yards from the sea front (Seaton Carew, North East England) and can easily go for a stroll along the beach/promenade. The ice cream shops have re-opened as have the fish and chip shops. I am blessed to have the coast on my doorstep and lucky that my family all live in the same area. I think it is the lack of 'routine' that I miss most in not going out the door to the office. Hope you settle back in to your routine soon....... I do think we will all have a new 'normal' though won't we! Stay safe! X

[@nanetteholt1957]

I understand what you are saying about the Dyson. I bought the animal dyson because I have two very large white dogs that shed A LOT! Everyone said this was the best. I was disappointed from the start. I doesn't pick pet hair all that well and I absolutely does not pick up small bits of anything else. I ended up buying a basic vacume after that and It is so much better for a fraction of the cost.

Just love your florals in your home! I love my shark navigator vac. Its an upright and can be converted to a canister vac with the additional trolley. I have a separate shark like the Dyson, but it plugs in. It has a very long cord to plug in. The hand held shark you can purchase a separate piece to make it into a upright too! They are all bagless which I love! Take care! Kathy from California!

I agree with 100% It so frustrating to have it run out while you still have the whole house to do.

Thank you for your input on Dyson..I see alot of youtubers having a Dyson but I could not justify the cost when were just picking up " Dirt".😲😉

[@tamaradore6834]

I have that same Dyson and I have the same problem! It works good when it works but the battery doesn’t last long on the highest power setting

[@kathinadesoussa6097]

I agree dyson are not worth the money. Thank you for your lovely channel.

I agree about dyson. I have two cats and it takes me forever to clean

[@janeybeasley9525]

Loving your videos, your beautiful accent is so calming and you are so creative with not much expenditure, using great upcycling ideas. Your home and garden look beautiful. And I totally agree about Dyson cleaners, they are lightweight but I have now got a heavier machine - not re chargeable and it does the job so much better and easier, that actually the weight of it isn’t an issue, it’s a Shark and was about half the price of a Dyson. Thank you x

I used to have an old Dyson but now I have the Shark liftaway I love it. Great video xx

[@rev.ruthe.gallot9103]

now I'm curious about the ruffly wreath on your office desk. Future DIY? Good job with cleaning up the often neglected jobs

[@nancyring8104]

Gee, I wish I had your energy!! (Of course, I’m more than twice your age!) I am used to spending time alone, but I *do* miss the human contact- I’m just trying to be patient!❤️

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you Nancy, yes, 2020 has thought me patience x

OMG that mud kitchen is so cute! I loved playing mud cooking when I was young. That bought back so many happy memories. If you were a full KZbinr out of a pandemic situation you'd still have the social aspect of meeting friends and family. It's a very strange year. It's so surreal. As for the water pipe ban, we now live in Spain and have an abundance of water without any such bans. I've never been able to get my head around that. They had a 3 year drought here and then said we might have to be restricted, but it never happened. I don't know what they do with all that damn water in the UK and Ireland. Madness! Stay safe x x x

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thanks for watching, yea, I think our water system is so old it leaks most of it away x

[@josephineblanc9801]

We love you hope you stay once a week xxxx just take everyday as it comes ur garden beautiful love blonde xxxxhave nice weekend 😎

[@jaymeelk9380]

My Dyson is same. I have to do tiny mini shots of vacuum. It’s full and dead in 5 mins or less. Lighter for the hands and back is why I chose it too. But you have to squeeze the button constant, and bend farther and it can’t handle my dog and cat fur situation.

[@lindanave6390]

I’m so glad you finally got to go back to work! I’m just curious, what kind of work do you do? I want you to know that I really love to watch your channel. You are so creative and you seem to be able to do Everything!! You are truly gifted!! I’m from the USA and I absolutely LOVE to hear you talk!! Your accent is so beautiful! Stay safe and looking forward to your next video!
