More Decluttering and a Walk in Penarth. House Move, Wales, UK Vlogs.

[@KidsFunShow1]

Moving is always a very tedious task. Have a nice day!!!

[@PlanetImo]

Oh no! I was hoping to enjoy it at least a little bit! Ha ha! X

[@77claremarie]

"The birds are having a good old sing song" flashed me back to you sat in that tree with your flute at college, emulating the sound of the birds for that Site Specific project we had to do! Haha! X

[@PlanetImo]

Hee hee! I've been having lots of flashes back to that since goign through all my old college notes! I was thinking about getting in touch with you - Izzy's expressed an interest in becoming a cruise ship entertainer. I think she wants to sing, dance and act as part of a big show type thing in a theatre. Any tips or suggestions? (You could always PM me)

[@PlanetImo]

We've been watching lots of Cruise ship entertainers vlogs to get a feel for the lifestyle and pros and cons...

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

What a great break from sorting and packing, good to have a walk and some fresh air, was nice to see Penarth water front. 👍😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@PlanetImo]

I agree - I needed a break after all that. One can get a bit brain-boggled after a while with that sort of thing. x

[@Our80sLife]

Hi Imo!! Moving is a hassle, but it’s a great motivator for decluttering. I’m always stopping to look at everything too, especially the sentimental things. Those pictures are precious keepsakes. What a gorgeous park, I love the topiaries!! We just don’t have parks like that around here. Have a great weekend, and good luck with all the packing 😊

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks, AKA! I think I'm going to need it! :¬D

[@TheHappyCanadian]

Fantastic video great job on the shelves & what a lovely walk along the water. Have a great weekend 😀

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks, Jeff. The shelves have never been so tidy!

[@sergeymagel8715]

*Good Tour. Regards You.*

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks!

[@karenkucin1533]

That was fun! You're picking up steam on the decluttering, awesome! Those bits looked like covers for the legs of folding tray tables. I just found some the other day during my own decluttering haha. I enjoyed the walk and the really pretty scenery. Thank you so much!

[@PlanetImo]

Ha ha! Parallel decluttering! I like it! High five! 🙌

[@karenkucin1533]

@@PlanetImo yes! 🙌woo hoo!!

[@PlanetImo]

😁

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

Nice evening stroll... Calm sea

[@PlanetImo]

Lovely. Ahhh.

[@ArbitraryExploration]

Moving is so much work. I enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing!

[@PlanetImo]

Oh, yes, I am slowly coming to realise this! I'm hoping that if I spread it out over enough weeks it won't be too overwhelming... but we'll see! Thanks so much for stopping by. x

[@evancortez2]

I was in the middle of watching your old vlogs when this new vlog popped up - good timing on my part! I was just watching your Penarth vlog from two years ago 😊

[@PlanetImo]

Now that WAS good timing!

[@andrewoconnor5108]

Did exactly the same walk on Friday 22nd - but mid-morning. Down through the park from the town, from the pier to the barrage. Afterwards went from the pier the opposite way along the shore toward (but not all the way) Lavernock Point. Great video - thanks for sharing. I too have collections of rubber feet from some long forgotten mechanisation!

[@PlanetImo]

Well, that was a coincidence! I used to always walk the other way towards Lavernock. I used to enjoy exploring the abandoned ww2 bunkers there as a teenager. I wonder if they’re still there? I should take Izzy to see them.

[@andrewoconnor5108]

@@PlanetImo Yes, the whole gun battery and emplacement, bunkers etc. are still there at Lavernock. Although grafitti art covers a lot of it, still an impressive sight

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Cassettes, we’ve still got them...somewhere! We keep bits don’t we, just in case because you never know! Wow, what a task, you did a great job!😎👍👍👍

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks, Unowho! What treasures do you have lurking that you would never part with, but don't have a real use for?

[@unowhotravelchannel]

Imo and Izzy Vlogs Elaine would say my old Doctor Who magazines!😂

[@PlanetImo]

Believe it or not, Izzy had a load from a charity shop a few months ago, read them all like lightning and put them back in a charity bag immediately afterwards.

[@PlanetImo]

We clearly should have sent them to you!

[@GoodNewsTravelers]

Decluttering is no fun but oh the memories you find. Lovely walk. The trees are shaped weird. Lol "is that a bird or a phone ringing". Nice ending to a walk. 🤓😎💕

[@PlanetImo]

It was almost worth it for the memories alone! I’m still not convinced that ‘bird’ wasn’t a phone.

[@TravelwithYvonne]

I like not moving.... always a lot work!!! Wonderful walk 💖

[@PlanetImo]

Ha ha ha! I don't blame you at all, Yvonne! Thanks for stopping by. x

[@karen4you]

I hope you both are packing so if time is limited you can move without a black garage bag move like I've made. Took forever to sort things out on the other end!

[@PlanetImo]

That sounds like very good advice. I shall keep that in mind and try to keep whittling away at it when I can. Thanks, Karen!

[@evancortez2]

Usually what happens with me is, I would keep the little bits for a while just in case I found some use for them in the future, then time would pass and eventually I’d just throw them out - but then what happens is the very next day, I would find myself in a situation where I would need those bits that I just threw away the day before! I hate it when that happens

[@PlanetImo]

That's exactly what happens to me, too!

[@darragh3394]

Good video really enjoyable video 👍👍👍

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks, Darragh. Very kind of you to say so. X

[@BrurAA]

nice and good job

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks, Bank of Learning! x

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

Like the system you got going 😊

[@PlanetImo]

I nicked the idea from somewhere or other...

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

Smashed that 1000....congrats 😎.

[@PlanetImo]

Thanks! For the 2nd time! 🤣

[@berniekilbride]

Rubber feet? 4:50. Needless to say they go in the box labelled ‘Rubber Feet’ next to the ‘Plastic Feet’ and ‘Wooden Feet’ in the ‘Assorted Fixtures and Fittings’ section of the ‘Bits and Bobs’ shed. Where else? :-)

[@PlanetImo]

Of course: why didn't I think of this?

[@evancortez2]

Awww look at Izzy when she was a baby! Don’t you miss those days when the kids were that age? I sometimes wished they could be that age all the time, but I guess they gotta grow up sometime 😊

[@PlanetImo]

She was a cutie all right. Do I honestly miss those days? No - I don't miss those days at all as she was in so much pain & discomfort with her eczema back then. They were hard times. A mother can't ever relax when their child is in pain. We're very happy at the moment and having the best year ever with regards to her health and very optimistic for the future. x

[@evancortez2]

I understand

[@JoeKersey]

Oh, you save everything and anything. That's what one does. One never knows when an occasion will present itself and that long forgotten bit comes marching forward and becomes just-the-thing to be jury-rigged to solve the latest problem. Oh, no. Never throw any of that seeming detritus away. On the other hand, you watch my videos and have seen the result. And also on the other hand, I've pulled a lot of creative solutions out of my fundament at the last second. That was a pretty thick -- ahem -- floppy disk hidey-hole. Those Wetherspoons joints are really good quality. I like the iron fencing. We had a bunch of that stuff around older more expensive houses in my hometown. We had a custom welder in our town who made it and shipped nationally. He's dead now, of course.

[@PlanetImo]

There was once a time when it made very good sense to keep hold of everything, when money was so scarce it was a case of make do with what you have, or go without. Now if I need a new cable, or writing paper, a reel of cotton etc, I can afford to buy it, even on a low income, as things cost relatively less than they did. The (previously non-existent) internet availability does away with a lot of the need for many possessions, too, as do smart phones and apps, yet being brought up in the decades before any of these advances, it's natural that we'd hold on to those earlier, once useful, hoarding habits!

[@JoeKersey]

Oh, so true. And good point about real prices on a lot of things actually dropping when adjusted for inflation. My Dad was the same way, God bless him. He had a huge box of single gloves that he had found in the parking lot at school that he used for really nasty, filthy tasks.

[@PlanetImo]

Oh now that sounds sensible! I have been known to save my odd or worn-out socks to pack to take on holidays abroad, wear once and dispose of them there to make room in the case for shopping on the return journey! I have actually stopped doing that now as I got sick of having to wear awful socks on holiday.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

What a funky little Izzy indeed 😎

[@PlanetImo]

My cutie!

Quink ink... Takes me back!!!

[@PlanetImo]

And me. I undid the lid and had a sniff. I was right back at my wooden desk with the lifty-uppey lid and inkwell in an instant.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

@@PlanetImo Haha - loved those desks

[@PlanetImo]

You could hide all sorts of things in those.

[@LincolnintheAdirondacks]

You are cranking out content lately!!

I'm doing my best! Trying hard to grow this channel... I wish I could do it full time one day.

Bits like that..... Chuck Em!!!!!!!

[@HissingThoughts]

I was far more brutal with my cull. Probably due another. Are you keeping the typewriter?

[@PlanetImo]

Oh yes - the typewriter stays with me! I suspect I will get more brutal, the nearer the time comes to move.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

.... Oooo cassettes.... Adam sold his.... He had so much interest for them 😱

[@PlanetImo]

Really?! Mind you, mine are almost all copies.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

@@PlanetImo Yes - sold them for £50 but could have got more with all the interest

[@PlanetImo]

How did you sell them?

[@JoeKaton]

That is probably the best Christmas gift ever: bubble wrap lmao. Sooo who is the best captain of the Enterprise?

[@PlanetImo]

My Favourite was Janeway!

[@evancortez2]

Did Izzy inherit your love for Star Trek or is it pretty much just Doctor Who for her?

[@PlanetImo]

She prefers Dr Who, though we have watched a lot of Star Trek episodes together. She likes Voyager Best. I think it was the strong female leader role model that appealed to her.

[@LeonandTash]

Haha, one cubby hole a day....this could take a while 🤣Ohhh my, now you're on fire, we got 3 or 4 done in this lot 👍😁Izzy looks like she has hardly changed from her photo, just taller with longer hair. If that was really a bird and not a phone, that was impressive 😲

[@PlanetImo]

I haven't made much progress on my de-cluttering since this vlog as we're out 5 and a half days a week and then catching up with other things while we're home!

[@LeonandTash]

It sounds like there could be a bit of a mad rush, or last minute dash to come 😂 From our experience that means lots of boxes moved and a number that will sit in the new place unopened for months as you work your way through, doing all the reminiscing while unpacking 😁😂 We have moved houses and countries more than a few times now 🤣

[@GoodNewsTravelers]

By the way congrats on reaching 1000🤓😎👍

[@PlanetImo]

Thank you! I’ve been working so long and hard to reach this point that I’m on the verge of being emotional about it! That’s pretty unlike me.

[@PlanetImo]

And would you believe, I was monetised 5 days after hitting 1k. I was expecting a wait of at least a month - so that’s encouraging news, isn’t it?!
