Best of luck with your driving course, Helena! Keep reminding yourself of how amazing you’ll feel once you’ve completed it!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much Meg 😀 That's a great way to look at it. x

[@joannadoyle8575]

Absolutely thrilled you received the pins we sent and thank you for the shout out! We all still love all your vlogs and look forward to the new ones and continue to revisit the old ones, especially DLP and WDW. Hope you have a fab time in Efteling x

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

It meant so much to us when we picked those up. You really didn't have to. They are sitting pride of place next to our own badges. Thank you for watching 😀 x

[@chriswilcox9215]

I would recommend Wells in Somerset, which is where Hot Fuzz was filmed. You also have the Cheddar or Wookey caves nearby, along with either Bath or Bristol.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

I love the film Hot Fuzz! Haven't seen it in ages. Due a rewatch. Thank you for the recommendation and for watching 😀 x

[@GemWoody]

Goodreads really helps with reading motivation 😊

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

I’m loving it so far! It’s great for holding yourself accountable and seeing what others are reading too🥰

[@jolienvandamme2909]

@@sohelenaandmartynpersonally I prefer story graph because it has nice graphics to see what you’re favourite genres are and it’s visually more appealing than goodreads

[@JillandPaul24260]

Happy New Year. You guys are just the best. Just came up on my memories that this time last year we were doing your Disney quiz. I was 36 before I started driving lessons and it took me a couple of goes to pass my test but the best thing I ever did. Good luck with your goals for the year. Hugs from Jill and Paul in France xxx

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Happy new year to you both 😊 aw yeah! We’re looking at our diary to see when we can next plan a Disney quiz. Thank you for your support and for watching x

[@rachelyoung834]

We have only just discovered traitors! Absolutely LOVE IT! So we are now going through season 1 whilst we wait for tomorrow to come as like you it was such a cliff hanger!!!! I’ve also been thinking about applying to the show! You’d be fab!!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Oooh enjoy season 1. I think we binged it after it had been on. Amazed we didn’t see any spoilers. Do it! You never know. 😊 thank you for watching x

[@MJfanHP]

happy new year =) I'm so excited for all the vlogs in 2024!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Happy new year! Thank you so much! ☺️

[@JennyAmponsah]

Good luck with your driving lessons Helena!! I learnt to drive many years ago but I kept on failing the driving test. I lost all my confidence and I haven’t attempted to learn again since, which I do have regrets about. Not sure if I want to try again, but I know you’ll do an amazing job!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you Jenny! It is such a scary thing isn't it, I am very nervous about it but I hope I will be able to get going with it all this year. Will keep you updated with it all x

[@sallyrush9976]

Happy New Year to you both! Looking forward to seeing where 2024 takes you!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Happy new year 🥳 Thank you for watching x

[@hopemay5423]

I just passed my driving test last month and I’m in my early 20s. I didn’t do an intensive just because I feel that you don’t get the same exposure to different situations on the road because you get taught so quickly, obviously everyone is different in how they learn though! It took me about 6 months to pass without doing an intensive. I’d suggest doing your theory test asap because there is still a huge backlog in practical tests. Best of luck! You’ve got this! X

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Congratulations! 🥰 thank you for the advice, really hope this is the year I get going with it all! Looking into getting the theory test first like you suggested ☺️ I’ve heard there is a backlog of tests still 🙈 xx

[@seanmichaelcostello167]

Happy new year Helena and Martyn . Looking forward to 2024 vlogs 👍❤️🥂🎉

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much Sean 😀 Happy new year x

[@elisam.4270]

Happy New Year to you both! You have such a positive energy, it was lovely and inspiring to see your mood board 🥰 Best of luck! xx

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Happy new year to you too! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. x

[@elaineroom6358]

Happy new year 🥳 Thank you for watching x

[@Crystalnancyolivia]

Awh love the vision board and this lovely vlog🥰 wishing you lots of happiness, good health and success for this year to you both!💖💖💖

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️ same to you too! X

[@stephenmocanu408]

love you guys! God bless

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for watching 😀 x

[@leahmills9771]

I love how excited you are for the tumble dryer lol😂! Enjoy

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hahaha it feels like such a treat using it! ☺️

[@BCharlotte]

I'm hoping to learn to drive as well this year! Good luck with your goals! 💜

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much, good luck with yours 😊 x

[@lolawells26]

I learnt to drive a few years ago, failed my test and couldn’t get another for months so couldn’t afford to keep going with the lessons. I’d want to try a intensive too! It’s so daunting and scary, I agree. I’m going with automatic this time! good luck x

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

It’s so expensive to learn. 😭 Hopefully I’ll be able to get it sorted this year. It’s scaring not knowing whether it’ll be easy to pick up. Thank you for watching x

[@laurafranceskay2825]

Happy New Year!! 🥳 what a lovely cosy home vlog. Next weeks traitors will be uploaded one at a time, they upload the first 3 in one go for the first week to get people hooked and then everyone goes at the same pace with 1 ep at a time :) would love to see you on it so fingers crossed for your application:) xx

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Aw that's a relief, been worried about seeing spoilers 😂 We'll see how the application goes. Thank you for watching x

[@57sapke]

Happy new year and I'll hope to see lots of vlogs. This vlog I only could see via incognito mode and no idea why.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Happy new year! Glad you managed to see the vlog. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@mrsclairemoose]

We would recommend both Darwin Forest country park or Sandybrook country park for UK staycation in Derbyshire. I think you both would really like it. They have hot tubs!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you for the recommendations, we'll add those to our list to research. x

[@TheMagicInWonderland]

Omg I hadn’t heard about universal. I will have to watch that video. Kind of makes sense with Harry Potter being a uk thing and I’m sure would bring tonnes of tourists from Europe etc. Very exciting. Lovely vlog thank you, watching the this on a grey jan day up north and feels nice and cosy. Looking forward to your 2024 vlogs and Happy New Year! I’ve never watched trailers but think I will start watching today.

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hiya 😀 can't believe there may be a universal park in the UK. That would be so surreal and epic. Would recommend Theme Park Worldwide as he's even done a video where he goes to the site they've bought. Thank you so much for watching 😀 x

[@tarascott8815]

Happy New Year! 🎉. You guys sooooo need to have a break at Potters Resorts. You would love it. Live West End style shows every night. All inclusive. Everything included! Very much like a cruise. But come to the Norfolk one so I can say hi 👋🏼! Xx

[@mrsclairemoose]

Just seen this comment and I totally agree! I'm in Norfolk too 😆

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you so much for the recommendation. We'll add it to our list of places to take a look at. Happy new year 🥳 x

[@tarascott7002]

​@@sohelenaandmartyn if. you need any help just give me a shout. I've worked at Potters for 17 years this year! Would love to welcome you both and show you around 🙂. With your love of theatre I know you would have the best time. Happy New Year to you too xx

[@gailirvine9609]

Can you please put which cruise vlogs you follow 😊

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Hiya 😀, sure we can. We follow Emma Cruises, DisLyfeOfOurs, Jordan Bauth (She's my favourite) and Wander Lust Alley. Thank you for watching 😊 x

[@mrsclairemoose]

I would love it if you were on the traitors Helena!

[@sohelenaandmartyn]

Thank you Claire, finishing my application today. You never know 😂 x
