People nowadays have busy lives, i am a house cleaner and have a range of clients, mums that work from home with kiddies , older people who need help keeping their homes tidy, Never be embarrassed to ask for help, be it a cleaner or asking a friend to help,, true friends will always be there for you.🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you for this 😊❤️

[@Lou-yu4ut]

I'm a domestic cleaner too. I thought all of my clients would be super rich, and the cleaning would be a luxury. Absolutely not the case. I work for 'normal' people. But they are at full stretch with work, family and handling other responsibilities or health issues. It's a privilege to help them out and they allow me to pay my bills. Win win. If you can afford it (and not all can I accept that), get a cleaner and get it off your to do list. You are busy and your time is precious x

[@user-ne3cg4zr4s]

Enjoying your thought processes.Great to see the background cleaning to a home photo shoot! Home is an atmosphere you can feel peaceful and secure in. Colours, textures, scents, space to dream x

I am not the only one delighted in your stories, crafty projects and creative gardening. Watching you become a published author, soon twice over👏, overcome your nerves presenting on Telli.

Your house is just beautiful. It's so nice to see you do normal things. Very honest, love it. It's lovely to watch your little cats follow you around the house.😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

They’re my little shadows 🥹

[@caoimhenimhuireadhaigh1303]

I'd feel bad asking my friends for help cleaning my house, but I'd be more than happy to help out a friend to clean their house 😂 It makes no sense! 😂😂

[@katherinecraddock5031]

Growing up in a large family always meant hand me downs. Not just in clothes either. We had a lot of mismatched stuff but we called it eclectic. I find myself liking the old/used over new. I still have and use my mom's dresser from when she was a girl and my grandma's bedroom furniture. As for cleaning, I find it relaxing to do house work. It takes me back to the days spending time with the grandparents. Thank you for sharing your humbleness and energy. ❤❤

[@DaintyDiaries]

That’s so sweet 🥹 yeah I’m totally with you. There’s something special about pre loved furniture especially when it’s been in the family like yours! They sound like lovely pieces! Thanks for sharing Katherine ❤️

[@dtgallant1]

Dear Catherine, I just love your videos…I feel like I am spending time with a dear, sweet friend…I love how real you are ❤️

[@bonniehollingsworth1996]

Glad your house gets dirty - and then clean again 😊 The more time you add to each video, the more I like it. You have a wonderful way of making mundane chores less painful and more meaningful. Thank you for the longer format.

[@DaintyDiaries]

We’re all in the mundane chores together!! Thanks for stopping by ❤️

[@Noofsmissus]

Whew! I am SO relieved that your home keeping is SO normal. I'm always amused at KZbinrs who show their homes prior to a cleaning spree. Just like you, they use sentences like "my house is upside down", "I know the mess is bad". Those of us watching can feel you wincing as you show the evidence of your busy life in each room. The truth is, every one of us watching have messy spaces and living areas in our homes that need tidying, organising, decluttering and deep cleaning. I'm a commercial cleaner in a food production plant in New Zealand. It goes without saying the expectations on sanitation in a food production plant and the detail cleaning we do is mental. Do you think after a 10 hour day I'm going to come home and apply the same energy cleaning my own house? No. The reality is, when I come home, I get out of the car like an animated robot because my body is seized up - I hobble my way into the house where my hubby has a cuppa waiting, and I plonk my backside on the seat at the table and watch KZbin channels to distract my mind from the throbbing aches in all of my joints. My house is desperate for a deep clean and organising but I cannot bring myself to do it on my two days off a week. I need that 2 day break from cleaning - my body needs it! When I get a decent break from work I will get onto these tasks at home, but until then my wonderful hubby and I will hold our home together with general daily house keeping. So do not worry about what people think. You are perfect, darling - perfectly normal 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Thank you for sharing this, and for all that you do!

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I can relate! I’m 64 and after work I’m in too much back pain to do much of anything.

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

Catherine I've been watching you since you used to sell at craft fairs. 🙂 I'm one of you older (age wise) subs. I love following and learning from all your projects and travels. The very last thing I want to see these days is yet another carbon copy seasonal decor "haul" where the home ends up looking like a store display and the presentations are really commercials. Your home, your projects, your travels, and even your fashion reflect your personal style. I want to see beauty, gardening, unique style, and useful techniques from a woman who follows her own creativity and interests, and lives in a house that looks like an actual home she shares with her fur babies. That's exactly why I follow your channel! You are one of a kind and I love seeing glimpses of Ireland. Ireland is tops on my list for next time over the pond! Snowy greetings from the Rockies! ❄☃🌨 p.s. Happy you got a reprieve on your photo shoot! Whew!

[@mahlerwolf3734]

I agree! Catherine, stay who you are. You are a blessing!

Hey Catherine, I hear you about asking for help, have just finished 18 months of treatment and needed help but could not bring myself to ask... got into a awful mess at times, but did what I could when I could and still finding my feet again... your home is your home, you share what you like to share and it is all very lovely and I love how helpful your cats are when your cleaning... hope all goes well with your photo shoot!!!!

[@katesullivan1038]

Oh, Catherine! I can so relate! If I could afford to pay a housekeeper, I know I'd have to clean the house before she came in so I wouldn't be embarrassed. And I'm a bit of a control freak around my own home, so I'm sure things wouldn't get done to my liking. Lol

Your cats are so funny,their heads going back and forth cracked me up,it was like they were watching a tennis match!

[@AudreyM2023-yo1fb]

Your house is so pretty. Now look, you’ve gotten a deep clean out of the way and when the shoot is over, all there’ll be to do is relax and enjoy it. As far as paying someone to clean, my feeling is you are helping the local economy by giving work to someone who does that for a living. In regards to the length of videos, I enjoy one longer video per week as opposed to two shorter ones.

[@vickinoeske1154]

In the guestroom, I do like the new bedding, but I love the old bedding. For the photo shoott, I suggest replacing the faux flowers in the pitcher with fresh flowers and placing a cute vintage lap on top of one of the dressers.🥰😚

I've said this before but your home is my ideal home. We just bought a 1/4 acre lot across the country and when we sell this boat we will be moving/building a 600sq foot with a full basement. You have given me so, so many ideas for decorating and gardening and I appreciate your channel so much! Thanks, Catherine!! What are you using to clean the arms of you sofa with? As for helping with Spring cleaning I always wondered if a group of friend could get together at one house a weekend and clean all of it at once and then move to the next friend's. Amish barn raising came to mind. That way, you can socialize, have a glass of wine at the end and each person tackles top to bottom 1 room. And as you go each person gets a Spring clean!

I grew up poor, mum cleaned for other people, so i feel the same. Now, i have a huge aversion to paying anyone to do something i can do myself. I will pay someone to do my lawn if my health doesn't permit me, but noone can clean to my standards, so even if I'm sick i will just wait til I'm better to do it. I do a little bit every day per the Flylady system 😊

I’ve always referred to a quick or partial tidy as a “lick and a promise” and I’ve never heard the phrase “cats lick” before. I love watching your cats whether they’re quiet or carousing. Thanks for all your great content and I hope you keep your stress level down by not worrying about your viewers too much. I believe that we’re happy with what you share and we hope you can continue until you’re a little old lady. 😄

I used to get Better Homes and Garden magazine and almost always felt like my house wasn’t good enough. I have not missed the magazine since my subscription was up. I love old houses. Your house has charm, solid doors, nice handles, nice trim around the windows and whatnot. You work with the nooks and crannies. If I saw your interior on a magazine it’d be one I’d grab to look at. Congrats on 300k! I’ve been watching a few years now and one day will go back to video 1 to see all the content i missed.

I’ve found even when I had someone come clean (also something I grew up thinking was for rich people!), they didn’t clean how I wanted it anyway 😂 it was clean but I found they never got the marks from the couch or missed the window trim etc so I just do it. I have asked friends to come help! I offer the same in return :)

[@DaintyDiaries]

I can relate to this! I got my car cleaned this week, and I went back over it lol x

[@Stephanie-lg1cm]

Your home is beautiful and I feel it truly reflects your warmth. It’s absolutely not my style at all, I’m much more of a minimalist but I can appreciate it. I’m 65 so I grew up without phones, we didn’t even have one in our home, we had to go to the corner and use the public phone box. No social media, TV only after 4pm. Socialising was at the local pub and communication was by letter. I enjoy KZbin but try to keep to the channels I subscribe to otherwise I can be watching random videos for hours. 😂

[@jennyaspin8598]

Yes, I do like the longer videos. I was interested in your thoughts about learning Irish. Back in the early 70s I moved from England as a newly qualified teacher and found myself teaching 4-5 year olds, including Irish (Tá Teidi ag siúl etc) having a lot of support from colleagues and being only a couple of lessons ahead of the children! From 2002 to 2022 I lived in north Wales and learned welsh part time over 7 years after I had retired. Loved both languages and I keep thinking I would love to go back to learning Irish properly. As you say, learning languages is supposed to be good for keeping your brain in full working order. I loved living in Ireland too (Waterford and Dublin over 4 years). You are lucky to be living in such a beautiful country! 😄

Your home is super cute! I loved watching your cat when you were mopping. It made me laugh 😂😂

Nothing wrong with bring in help for spring and fall cleaning. Been there where I had to do it all and made myself crazy. Best compliment I got was from my children’s friends who now have their on family’s was house always clean and felt very comfortable. Plus they got to eat whatever was in or stay for dinner. That’s how I feel you home is.

Aw what a video Catherine… you done a super job girl ✨ you have given me motivation to get stuck in. Especially the words you were saying during your deep clean, really did resonate with me. Thank you… I didn’t feel as alone with some things in life 🤎 I hope the shoot went well and you enjoyed it too 😘 lots of love from Belfast xO

I love your little helpers they have grown so much. My Cat always seem to sense when I am about to put Clean bedding on. I am starting my spring deep clean now.

Love this sofas with the flowers on them. Also love the hand vacuum.

Congratulations! It is a big deal. You put so much of yourself in all you do, and are humble as well. You and your home are real, that's what I appreciate about your videos. We can have a cluttered and dusty house from time to time, but it can be pretty as well. It is lived in: ). Why not have deep cleaning parties with your friends? It makes it fun.

Hi Catherine, I am a relatively new subscriber of yours, I have been really enjoying your videos and find them very relatable so thank you! I personally really enjoy longer form video for content like this as I’ll have it on while getting ready, cleaning or cooking etc. also your cats are so cute! I am also a cat mum 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈

Your some woman as we say in Ireland. ❤ love any length of video you put up. Love from Limerick Catherine 🎉❤

[@mirtacardozo859]

Love your channel, it was an escape during the pandemic and now it feels like a friend from Ireland talking about her life. Much love from Chicago ❤

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw I’m so glad to hear that! ❤️ thanks for stopping by xx

[@susanmatuschek2948]

Love your videos, long or short! They're always a bright spot.

[@GinaAdams-tw7lh]

Inspiring, lovely and quaint. Habitable and hospitable.👍👍👍

[@sedwards536]

I am happy with what is better for you regarding length of video. Kitties are scrumptious. We both use wheelchairs, imagine mud dropping out of the treads every day, drives me NUTS. It like an army marches through. No cleaner yet but it's coming.😂

[@filomenasouza9749]

Yes 🥂 to another three hundred thousand my Dear, you’re amazing I love your channel because you’re down to earth and I feel your anxiety I’m the same way, keep up your amazing channel ❤

The older I get (46 now) the less I enjoy dusting and picking up clutter. I have some things I enjoy but I’ve definitely sized down in so many areas of my life. We are planning to build when I graduate nursing and we only want 600-800 square feet. So just a little cottage💕

[@charlotteslowsdown]

I find watching you so reassuring to not have to have it all and not follow the trends. And I do wish sometimes I could go back to my old Nokia!

[@micheleagren1604]

I was stressing for you Catherine and then when the telly appearance was postponed I was so relieved 😅😅😅❤
