[@themontanamaiden9426]

Hearing you and Tom are together made my day ❤️

[@MeggieWillis]

Her and Tom are so cute as a couple.

[@michelleisweird1421]

Can't like this enough! I KNEW they'd be great together! So flipping cute!

[@MeggieWillis]

@@michelleisweird1421 You are so right when you said they are so cute together.

[@chappy675]

The very best, most solid and stable relationships are the ones that were built on friendship first! So many people fall madly in love only to wake up one day and find that you really never even liked the person once you got to know them. But a love that grows from friendship will last. I’m so happy for you. I can’t wait to see where 2024 takes you!!

[@MeggieWillis]

You are so right about that.

[@lionheart830]

Friendship lasts, love changes and grows through the years. When the sex dies down, the friendship will keep you together.

[@traceytheisen8067]

Great video! So many of us follow your channel just because of how much we enjoy our time with you, not just the reselling adventures. Consider adding in a drive and chat video into the mix. It’s be great fun to hear you catch up on stuff all while taking advantage of the drive, plus thousands of us outside the country get to see different landscapes. You’re a lovely storyteller, and that is an underrated gift those who possess often don’t maximize. Your 2024 is going to be amazing! And yes, we alll adore Tom too ❤. You guys compliment each other beautifully.

[@darlynmcintosh5417]

Being friends first makes for a strong relationship!!! I’m so happy for you both.

[@MeggieWillis]

that is so true.

[@junglesuperstar9270]

Totally not true . And it is even harder when your friend hurts you

[@rinachia4298]

The chemistry between you and Tom was evident from the outset. It's wonderful to see you so happy and I wish you both all the best.

[@CC-ed7od]

So that's why you're glowing! He gives great vibes, this is good news! Tom definitely hasn't been easy on you, but he's helped build you up and that's been a super fun thing to watch!

[@comicstopia]

I think everyone watching smiled when you talked about you and Tom dating.

[@picking4profit]

So glad you and Thom and seeing each other. The chemistry was always there and clear to see!. It is lovely to see you happy

[@markwatkins8309]

I have to say, if this is the chap mainly featured in the videos, driving, helping I've seen no chemistry at all! That said, if they are truly happy, good luck to them both.

[@MeggieWillis]

Tom is a cool person. He has help her moved to the new shed back in 2023.

[@karenpetrasovits7174]

You’re back!! So great to see you. Congratulations on turning your business around! Your video with Tech was so eye opening. Can’t wait to see what you get up to in 2024.

[@Sussex_Seagull]

Dead kangaroos! not an issue we have in southern England. Thank you for your videos; I'm on my own eBay journey and you have really helped. All the best for every aspect of your future.

[@mannya1282]

I’m so happy that you and Tom are a couple. It was meant to be. And yes Tech N Sports is a diamond in the rough.

[@Vintagerous]

Oh Mel! Congratulations on all levels. So happy for you! But please - you are just as smart as your mentors - that’s is super clear to me. You just needed confidence. You have asked all the right questions and are applying your learning. Onwards and upwards!

[@MicD123]

What a joy filled video! I think alot of us saw the "spark" with Tom early on and just knew you were both good for each other. You were deep in the weeds as we say here in America and couldn't see it yet for yourself. And that is actually a good thing. You were able to heal and find your footing and then opened the door to a relationship with Tom. Your joy is evident in the glow of your being. Happy 2024!!

[@traceytheisen8067]

Spark.....it was a lightening bolt 😂. But in all seriousness your comment is spot on because friendship is the most important thing in a relationship and had it remained a friendship that would have also been amazing.

[@denisefleming3919]

Welcome back Mel! This video was like sitting down with a long time friend and catching up. So glad to see you. Congrats to you and Tom and for your hard work and achievements. Can't wait for vids to come. Thank you!

[@anitahaviland3036]

I could see a quiet appreciation of you by Thom from the very first time he was on a video, up on a ladder looking down at you! 💓💓💓💓 He is incredibly supportive, has been incredible in directing you and teaching you your own potential. But, I could see this lovely loving relationship developing, and you are glowing! Tell Thom, for me married 63 years, that I think he is a very good man who knows how to love. For me, whose option really should be nothing in your life, I am thrilled that you two came together.

[@dechinta]

My parents were married for 71 years. My mother would say that you, Anita, are just newlyweds. :) I remember when Daddy died, an aunt called Mama and talked for a long time, trying to console her and let her know that she'd been there; she knew what Mama was going through. My mother got off the phone and you could tell she was mad. She said, "She said she knows exactly what I'm going through! She doesn't know a thing what I'm going through. THEY were ONLY married for 65 years." We were all grieving over my beloved Daddy, but had to admit that was funny. "ONLY 65 years!"

[@lynnhughes1308]

“My Book Guy” was in fact a Knight in shining armour. Delighted for you both. Keep strong you are doing great dealing with whatever life throws at you and inspiring so many along the way ❤

[@lionheart830]

You are the most positive personality on the tube. Thanks for sharing!

[@Mrs-Resell]

Oh Mel! So lovely to hear from you here! It was like having a cuppa and chat with you and catching up on all your events! So proud of what you have achieved! Well done! x

[@MeggieWillis]

I'm so glad to see her in good spirits.

[@susanarrington9371]

2023 was a horrible year for our family after seeing my daughter thru 2 horrible surgeries and covid experiences where the tumor in brain almost took her life! But we are thankful no cancer and none of the bad took her! My business never really survived ….so here is 2024 and new chances to bounce back and she continues to beat the other complications for a 42 yr old woman! Listening to you was such a refreshing experience for me and your sharing your ups and downs brought me something I haven’t experienced in over year…Hope and excitement and yes smiling! Ty so very much for pepping me up from across the pond…as I reboot my business again! God bless you in the new year!! Share on…lol

[@backfromburnout]

Sending you love and good health and happiness for all in 2024 xxx

[@agl5132]

A door needed to close for a new one to open. At 65 I can sincerely tell you each relationship is a lesson even the bad ones. They teach us what we don't want.

[@happilybyheidi4895]

Why can't I like this video more than once?!?!?

[@ginacrowley9830]

I found your channel by watching you during your visit with Commonwealth Picker and Philly Flipper. I am glad to hear you have met someone and a new chapter of your life is beginning. It is hard being a mom (I am a mom of three) and juggling everything. We sometimes do not get the credit we deserve. I wish you much success in your business moving forward!

[@B0BBuys]

I’m so glad American was such a highlight of your year. I agree Paul is a light that draws everyone in and makes everyone feel warm when they are around him.

[@ianjresells]

Congratulations Mel, you are such an inspiration! The stars have re-aligned and now yourself and Thom have become the dream team a force to be reckoned with. Wishing you continued success for 2024 and beyond! Thank you!

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

13:33 - Even Helen Keller saw this coming. LOL

[@RadRelics]

Haha

[@JennLloyd]

Super stoked for you Mel!! I’m sooo happy for you that you’ve found Tom and it’s been super positive in every way!!

[@MeggieWillis]

Me too Mel. Tom is a very awesome person. I'm so happy for you and him. I hope to see more videos of you both together going to those charity shops for more books.

[@TheChaChingKing]

America was SO fortunate to get to actually meet you. You're a star that many of us were super excited to meet.

[@backfromburnout]

I loved meeting you!

[@BluePoppy333]

Your situation sounds a lot like mine with your separation. I’m also living in the same house as my ex even though we are divorcing. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever done so you have my sympathy! My mental health has really suffered. Financially I’ve had little choice though. Fingers crossed for a better year in 2024 for us!

[@emusaurus]

Thanks for sharing, Mel. What a rollercoaster of a year. Hopefully 2024 will be your best year ever!

[@crownmaiden]

Omg, your gratitude and praise of the people in your life was so precious and vulnerable. I'm feeling things! Thanks so much for sharing your journey and inspiring small resellers like me along the way. 🥳

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you, I feel very grateful

[@dechinta]

31:10 Oh, and Thom took me to Japan! Like an afterthought. Oh yeah and I went to Japan with Thom. I would've led off with that one! Wow! I used to be fascinated with Japan and had a Japanese pen pal for years and years. I always wanted to go visit Japan too, but I never did. How exciting! I'm so glad your world is getting bigger and bigger and so many new things are happening. This video has made me extremely happy. Not only because it's so interesting, but I have missed you! 35:20 We love you too!

[@backfromburnout]

Japan was amazing!!! It’s been a big year!

[@mrststreasures9628]

Bravo! You are literally "back from burnout"! So very proud of you! It was a joy to meet you this summer! You touch so many lives some you may never know about. You freely give, which is the sign of a true leader/mentor. Thank you for all you do for us! Cheers to 2024! ❤️❌⭕❌⭕ PS You did well not crying in your video but let's face it there's nothing to cry about all smiles! 😊

[@MeggieWillis]

You are right. I'm glad to see Mel all smiles.

[@jeanettedeblois7878]

I can see the change in you. Happiness is the best medicine.

[@zelmabyrn2115]

Oh Mel, great hearing from you. Great recap of your year sadly the separation and divorce but then your USA trips with all the tremendous highlights, positivity, encouragements, goals and etc.. that has elevated your confidence, personal changes improvements that you needed to hear and take action. Tough love as its called. But you are a continuous inspiration to me and many! You gave Thom a reason to smile as he helped and worked with you in so many ways. Glad to see Thom smiling more! 😊 and you too! So the best for you Mel in 2024!! Blessings!

[@PamelaS.H.]

Thanks for the recap! And never apologize for rambling on as you call it because I could listen to you all day! I’m so very happy for you and look forward to seeing any and all content that you want to share with us ❤😊

[@jeffcole1914]

I’m so excited that you are back. I can’t describe the joy that I feel that you have been able to see the world change through the last few months since your decision to divorce. We saw you at an emotional loss to now you have managed your life and through the other’s in your life you have become a professional. Tom is a very lucky man and you are a very lucky woman absolutely my eyes watered up with joy that you have connected. A driven man is not a hard man so glad he met a person to turn into that sweet marshmallow for. Remember you are the prize love ya welcome back I missed you ❤

[@alisonneville9302]

Really happy for you. I’m just going through divorce and it’s thoroughly miserable.

[@backfromburnout]

Hugs xx

[@goodgreatfabulous]

Wow, the way your face lit up when you started talking about Thom was adorable!! So happy for you both!!!

[@wiseowl3386]

I'm so happy for you Mel, you're actually glowing when you speak about Tom. You both can take on the world! Congratulations 👏👏

[@RetroSho]

Goodness, you are absolutely GLOWING in this video!!! So happy for you! Great that you've found love again and moving on in your life. Thanks so much for continuing to show us a slice of your life. It's amazing to not only see the highlights, but also the dark spots. Reminder that we are all human and not everything is roses and sunshine all the time. And we all knew it was Tom! Worst kept secret! 😂😂😂😂

[@cherylchastain1962]

We love you too, Mel. Keep on making content and we will be here with you! Happy times ahead in 2024.

[@sporton1977]

Awesome update! You are on the right road Mel! I’m so glad you and Tom chose to be together! Tom is a good man! I hope your business takes off in 2024! 😊

[@MichaelGroll-p9h]

Mel. So happy for you. Your face lit up when you talked about Tom. he seems like a fun guy. You are inspiring to me. So delighted you will be back on Tube. Thanks.

[@laurabeauchamp1667]

I stopped working when I saw your video come up! Had to stop and watch. Thank you so much for sharing the ups and downs. Can’t wait to see more. All the best!

[@SheSellsCarPartsUK]

Yay! So happy you found love, I love Love! Excited to see you take on 2024! thank you for all the inspiration!

[@gillymacgregor3071]

It’s so lovely to have you back again and to hear that you and Tom are a couple has made my day. Tom seems like such a lovely man and I wish you both all the very best. 😁

[@gerben333333]

Mel & Tom! What great news! Hope to see him again in your videos 😃 you're doing great!

[@dan4704]

Congrats to you and your family. Called the Tom thing way back. 😂❤

[@sandispurrell5341]

Yay! So happy for you! Happy 2024 Mel!

[@tamarahcharter2822]

YAYYYYY Mel….CONGRATULATIONS on navigating such a difficult year & coming out the other side with a plan & super positive mindset….You really are an inspiration Lovely & a FABULOUS Woman to boot….Here’s to a kickASS 2024….!!!!!😊👊🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@wendyt23]

Congratulations Mel! Great to see your growth in 2023, can't wait to see where 2024 takes you. 🥳

[@jimlloyd7459]

Congrats on finding a partner that supports you....may you have everything you want in life....

[@mariap2226]

I had noticed the America trip changed you. And about Tom, it wasn't assumptions, we could clearly see the connection, and we're extatic for you because we could see he's a top kind of guy. Glad you're happy. Thanks for sharing 🙏😊

[@traceytheisen8067]

That's really well said. I think most people are really protective of what they say online, especially when children are involved. (There are some idiots, but most people, especially Mel's tribe, are genuine in their comments). But the connection was electric right off the bat.....and so very sweet, charming and endearing.

[@CoryW24]

Hey Mel, glad to hear that your life is taking continues to move forward positively. You are an inspiration to so many of us. Take care and keep smiling :)

[@tessa.robles.84]

Hey Mel, I completely understand bcuz I'm in the exact same position. I am still living with my husband but we are trying to divorce. However, due to health concerns I haven't been able to take my resell business to the success that u have. I am really struggling. We don't have kids but we have dogs that are like kids. I'm not sure how I'll ever get out of here bcuz I don't think I'll ever be financially independent. I wish u the very best and know that u aren't alone! ✌️💜✌️💜

[@shaneomack5018]

Ms Mel… it is a absolute pleasure seeing your face love. And to quote from the awful movie cocktail “ if you’re the smartest person in the room you’re in the wrong room”

[@LgIdaho61]

That’s wonderful to hear Mel!! I wish you the very best!!

[@thriftingtiger]

It was wonderful to meet ya at Flipcon! I'm also working towards this full-time reselling business as I am still working my full-time job. Def trying to grow it even more this year so I can finally quit. Sounds like you had a great year! Glad to hear everything is working out finally. Congrats on you and Tom!

[@bobhale8325]

I am happy for your finding more happiness in your life in business and with Tom. I love your energy and enthusiasm. It is a beacon of hope for the rest of us.

[@lauriepurplehaze3776]

It was nice to watch this video. Very happy that your plans for 2024 seem to be filled with good forward moving plans! You face LIT up when you said the name Tom. You deserve ALL the happiness that is coming your way. It was amazing to meet you at flipcon. Wish you nothing but happiness!❤

[@duncanvr7567]

[@CC-ed7od]

I want to hug you right now so big. Just breathe girl, and know that you are not alone. I've been living like that for a long time too, and it's a very hard thing to do. Especially if there are still kids involved. Ours came about from ill minded family and an empty nest. God bless you in your journey and stand strong knowing that WE are your family too. I wish you peace with much love and happiness! 💗💓❤🤗

Happy new year! Wishing everyone and all your loved ones the best of health and happiness

Good to hear from you again at long last! :)

[@cretan982]

So happy to hear you start the year in a good place. Enjoyed the thrifting adventures with you and Tom (particularly that shabby mansion one with the mouldy books and the fake Beatles dvds). Could tell he was a funny warm-hearted guy with a lot of positive energy to share.

[@StarLifeVibes]

Well done Mel. Thanks for the content. All the best for 2024.

Tom is a cutey pie and I'm happy that you found someone who makes you smile again. I'm here for the new house content, that will be fun to watch. May 2024 bring you much happiness & adventures!

[@MeggieWillis]

Me too I yelp out loud when I saw her video uploaded on You tube since I subcribe her channel a while ago back in 2023. I can't wait to see her warehouse too. I agree Tom is a cutie pie and I'm so happy she found someone who makes her smile and feel good on the inside. I hope she comes to Texas one day.

[@mrslehman3]

What a whirlwind year! I have been watching you for years now and am so excited to see your growth on many levels. So proud of you killing that death pile! You are such an inspiration to me as I take small bites out of my own virus. I was thrilled to meet you at FlipCon and look forward to all your upcoming adventures. Best to you and Thom. I think that you are the reason he smiles now 😉

[@MaddieAshleigh]

Tom seems to be a grounded support for you to fly from and return to and not have to worry, a guy confident with himself who believes in you is gold! Hope to find my "Tom" after my ex left, 7 years now and I just now am starting to miss the pros at least lol of being in a relationship. Much love to you both!!! ❤

Although there’s been so many downs it sounds like there’s been more ups. Life throws us these curve balls to teach us life lessons even though we don’t like it. Onwards and upwards from here. Well done, especially on the relationship with Tom 😊

Great to hear all your positive news after your hard year. Looking forward to new vids in 2024. Big hugs to you xx
