British Gas! omg that quote is daylight robbery! That worktop covering is fab by the way, and so is your carpet cleaning! 👍

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thank you! I know I nearly had a heart attack with the British Gas quote 😂 x

Pantry/dishwasher area looks fantastic!

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thank you Maura! It is so much better in there now I just need to get a few bits finished and it’s all sorted ☺️ x

[@jennyaspin8598]

Yay! Fame at last! 🤣 Thanks so much for including our project, Laura. I'm sorry you are finding your project a bit hard going at the moment but the carpet came up so well and the room looks cosy now. You know what they say, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." 🙂

[@debonaire70]

Hi Jenny...you and your husband did a fantastic job on the conservatory roof! I think I'm going to try and get around my hubby to give it a go with my help (just got to give him time to get over just completing our bedroom renovation) Haha xx

[@jennyaspin8598]

@@debonaire70 thank you. It wasn’t easy but I’m hoping it will be worth it in the colder weather. 🙂

[@LauraDoesLife]

Lol Jenny! You are right - I need to stop feeling as though there’s such a rush to get everything done! I’m back at work in a few weeks so just panicking that I’m not going to get time to get anything done! I’m pretty sure the conservatory will inspire quite a few people to do the same! And thanks again for sending it in X

[@debonaire70]

Absolutely love your vlogs and the viewers DIY at the end is a brilliant idea....you get me so motivated and the conservatory roof insulation is a brilliant idea and looks amazing...thanks Laura for sharing your progress xx

[@LauraDoesLife]

Aw thank you! I’m so glad that I help motivate viewers Send in some of your projects!! X

Hello Laura! Nothing wrong with feeling overwhelmed you know? It's only that moment when you feel you can't progress fast enough. But that's your perception. Maybe you put yourself under too much pressure 🙂. You did right by doing something gratifying and necessary! Just look back at all you have achieved, in this house and others houses. And when you're ready, look forward x x ❤️

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thanks Isabelle, you’re right! I think I’m just panicking a bit because I’ll be back at work full time in a few weeks and won’t have as much time to make as much progress so wanting to get as much sorted before then! But I need to keep telling myself there’s no rush! X

[@janechurton8373]

So pleased you finally have some hot water 💖

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thanks Jane me too! 😁 x

[@SandiD1959]

Well done Laura. What you achieve on your own is amazing! I know that horrible feeling of being overwhelmed but it will get better and better!

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thank you Sandi ☺️ I’ve just been panicking as I won’t have as much spare time in the next few weeks I just need to chill a little! X

[@SandiD1959]

Hi Laura your utility room looks neat, great look with the top, after watching your DCfix video for wrapping shaker cabinets I decided to tackle my kitchen it turned out great & saved me a packet. The carpet looks great your doing a brilliant job it will all come together, take it nice & steady keep up the good work you will get there 💜 xx and great job Jenny & Keith x

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thanks Rosie! I’m really pleased with the pantry/utility can’t wait to get the rest of the kitchen looking decent! Did you do the worktops one your kitchen too? X

[@elaineb4806]

Well done Laura, you are doing so well to keep moving forward. 💕 ps loved the project of the week from Jenny and Keith.

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thank you Elaine ☺️ x

[@NATTYBOO1980]

Hi Hun xxxx Love what you do and I take my hat off to you for doing it all your self xxx Plz can you send me a link on the DCFIX I love the one you have x I’ve used them everywhere in my house. I’m going to freshen my kitchen up as I have the DCFIX Marble for 2 years now and I need to change it xxx On my work tops xxxx Thx Hun xxxx

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thank you! I’ve used a few dc wraps now and this is by far the nicest one. The marble had the high gloss effect that I didn’t really want and this is just PERFECT. Can’t wait to do the kitchen worktops in it! www.diy.com/departments/d-c-fix-grey-stone-effect-self-adhesive-film-l-2m-w-675mm/4007386327727_BQ.prd x

Hi Laura, You are making an amazing amount of progress. So impressed. 🥰 xx

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thank you Sophie ☺️ x

[@sharonshooter6808]

You take your Laura I'm sure everything will turn out just fine we will be here watching your every move and we know you will make a good job of all the projects you do xxx

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thank you Sharon! I think I’m just stressing because I’m back in work in a few weeks and worried I won’t have time to do anything! I need to chill a little ☺️ x

[@lisaedwards931]

Wow your doing a great job and what a difference the carpet looks now you’ve cleaned it 💖

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thanks Lisa! I know I can’t believe the difference! It was hard work with the scrubbing but worth it! ☺️ x

[@loisbolton1800]

You are doing so well, really. One step at a time, you are making real progress though it doesn’t seem like it. When you get round to tackling the polystyrene, think about wearing a face mask & wearing one of those white all-in-one paper suits. Those flakes get flippin everywhere. And some kind of drop cloth. (Sorry if I’m teaching you to suck eggs)

[@LauraDoesLife]

Thanks Lois! Good idea! Even just taking down that small part made such a mess! X

[@ReecePowell]

carpet came up nice ey?

[@LauraDoesLife]

It did! Hard work scrubbing at it but we’ll worth it 😃 x

[@ReecePowell]

@@LauraDoesLife smashed it! what's next on the list? :)

[@saraeaton6172]

Love love love the worktop wrap…where did you buy it from ?

[@LauraDoesLife]

Me too Sara it was from B&Q I’d looked at in on the roll before and it was only after I looked at some photos on the reviews I realised it looked completely different rolled out I can’t wait to do the rest of the kitchen in it! X
