Can you imagine how much time and money it is saving you at present because you were buying things over the years, putting them away for when this time came. Its amazing how much stuff you already had....so prepared. Just wait until all the hard work is done and you are settled....it will feel amazing!!!! Heres to a happy future for you all. Hope mama g is coping well too xx

[@traceynewton1534]

Little tip take things out of boxes packaging cut of instructions for cooking and put contents into a zip bag they lay on top of each other and you have lots more room the boxes are so big so every bit helps in your freezerxyou doing great job give yourself time x x

[@Lisa-BoundByBooks]

This is what I do too! Also when freezing meats I take them out of the plastic tubs/packs. That also saves on room.

[@joysiee5060]

Me too

[@anitasheehan6243]

The wall paper carpet and wall colours are stunning Shannon the house is looking beautiful you and Dan should be so proud of yourselves oh and I'm so jealous of your cookware 😅 xx

[@lynnesadler5611]

You have to do whats best for you to cope with the move/ putting things away! We moved into our house 9 weeks ago and i placed things in and now im changing things to suit what the best way it works for us! ( you have to live in your home to get the feel lol) the only thing i would say can you thin your cup/ glass out because i feel you will need those cupboards for something else, you house is starting to take shape and looks lovely well done to you both. Xx

[@elainespilsbury-2284]

Everything is looking lovely your choice of wallpaper is perfect. You are both working so hard, you will certainly enjoy your holiday.x

[@beverleyoneill5578]

Always watch but rarely comment, just been reading comments. Although in my opinion you might benefit from donating multiple buys. Why the need to attack eating habits and weight issues its astonishing. So to those who do stop! You're just spoiling the excitement of new beginnings. Remember would you like someone to say it to your family. Chin up Shannon and keep loving life x

[@juliehunter9559]

Your doing well sorting stuff out at the house regarding the compartments in the freezer you could use them for ice pops / ice lollies ect

[@Andreaod73]

Was going to say the same

[@sonyagilpin6461]

Omg have loved every minute of watching you and Dan in the house would watch use all day what a dream team the house is looking amazing you both deserve that holiday so much can’t wait to see the next house updates take care see you soon ❤

[@shirleysuckley2683]

You could keep all your larder cupboard for all your food an the next cupboard an all your pots an pans in all the others an pans in a cupboard next to the cooker. I would have a small box freezer in ya shed or outhouse what ya have outside,cus those double fridges aren't allways that big,for when ya do a good Iceland shop or some thing,that's what I did xx

[@claireshelley3599]

Omg so happy to be watching this I’m loving the progress Shan and Dan , you remind me of when I got my new kitchen organising and re organising the cupboards 😂. It’s all looking great and love the wall paper and the green paint in the small room. Can’t wait for the next vlog 😊😊xxx

[@enjoylife3067]

I would just get it all unpacked and put away , you can always change it later on , you will find some things don’t work in places

[@Andreaod73]

Yeh I did this when I moved recently

[@deborahwales8539]

Hi Shannon, thank you so much for taking us along on your wonderful journey of decorating your first home. Wishing you and Dan good luck, health and happiness for the future ahead. Must admit when my daughter moved house I was so happy and excited for her but deep down I miss her so much but it actually made us even closer. I now cherish every moment with her, take care my lovely and enjoy your journey ahead. Oops forgot to mention have a wonderful holiday guys.❤❤

[@shirleysuckley2683]

Hi shan an Dan I'm so excited for you both with the house, I bet your so excited unpacking all your boxes an finally putting them all away, what a lovely achievement shan , so happy for you both,an after.its all done,you can just sit back an relax an enjoy it all. Hope mama g is all good. Sending lots of love ❤❤xx

[@carolbarrett9059]

Instead of the tall pod holders you can buy sets of drawers that are not expensive then put your others on vinted ❤

[@Lisa-BoundByBooks]

Not sure if you know,…. You can get extra shelves for the ikea stuff. They sell them on their own. Also, I agree about what’s being said the coffee pods. There’s other ways to store them than those tall things you’re using. Figuring out a kitchen is so so hard. It was the worst part for us with unpacking. So I was feeling your pain in this video. Loving these moving vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing what you do!

[@karenharrison9765]

You two are such a great team all your hard work is all gonna be done and you will both be settled and. Happy xxxx

[@sharonhughes1538]

Shan you might have to bleed your radiators❤

[@mamofoneteen5178]

I’m so impressed Shannon, be proud of yourselves. It’s going to be smashing. I’m pleased to see you’ve gone with Pro Cook, I love everything I’ve bought for there. I recently got the food mixer a a birthday gift off my parents and it’s fantastic! Keep going, you’re on the homestretch now! ❤❤❤

[@rosinaspeakman5162]

How far you have both come with house in the time you have had 🎉🎉❤❤ kitchen you have to use it more befor you make a final decision about where to keep stuff and what works best for you ❤❤ love the wall paper blinds definitely make a difference 😂😂 Dan won that one .. Wednesday the 18th hoilday time nearly here 🎉🎉 you can line air fryers with tin foil hubby says easy take out all clean full of little bits of information 😂😂 omg have all the dinner sets to find home for yet bet you forgot 😮 love and hugs sweetheart ❤❤❤

[@julieyendle5655]

You can get a coffee pod holder that you can sit your coffee machine on and it’s a draw underneath x

[@melodyharris7455]

I have one it’s brilliant x

[@DianeWhyte]

Everything is looking good 👍🏻 xx

[@Suzieplook]

You could put ice pops or ice creams in freezer door , or say you open a box of fish fingers you could put what’s left in a labelled bag in freezer door taking things out of boxes gives you more room just don’t forget to look at cooking instructions first 😘

[@suzanneparton725]

Omg..amazing vlog..can't wait for vlog no 6... And the holiday vlog.....xx

[@melaniestevens3557]

I put ice lollys and cold packs in the side bits of my fridge freezer ❤❤ looking forward to seeing how you organise everything & room tours xx

[@lisabill3664]

Shannon, you can get a square coffee pod dispenser. Amazon sell them, it has a drawer. Go and have a looksy when you are not busy. Wishing you the best.

[@sallymarshall8618]

The house is starting to look fab. Well done you two xx

[@juliekulatunga4188]

So proud of you pet. Love from Geordie Land xxx

[@diannemottershead1646]

Hi Shan and Dan it's all looking gorgeous your little home it's coming together. I'm so happy for you exciting times. Next mama G's house 😂😂 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@denises9680]

Hi Shannon and Dan your both doing brilliantly and it's all coming together slowly. As I say, Rome wasn't built in a day 😂. You'll both sit back when it's all done and be so happy and greatful it's all come together the way you had always envisioned it. All that buying over the years has come in very handy! Imagine if you had to buy everything now!! Well done you 😂 you had a dream of your perfect man, got him and had your perfect home in your head and you got it too ❤ I'm proud of you girl 🤗 take every day as it comes. You've both got this. My husband and I are currently sorting out our backgarden and it's taking time but it's starting to come together and I'm loving it. It's a lot of hard work hubby can't really help due to having chronic back pain and arthritis but he's good at instructing me 😂😂 the other day he had me digging the sides of our garden so we can lay down pebbles. I must have dug about 3ft and I kept telling him it's not right but he insisted but after a while realised I was right and I was the one with the task of putting it all back, well the majority of it 😂 I kept saying 'you don't listen when I say things' and after that he listened 😂 trust me when I say I was shattered 😂 I too have back pain but when you want something done all that goes down the drain 😂. AstroTurf is going down soon and other things are adding to it soon I can't wait till it's finished though. Say hi to mama g for me please hope she's OK ❤ take care and see you in your next video/vlog ❤

[@rachelpowell2477]

Could you pop a toaster in the cuboard? Pop your bread next to it? Pop it on a tray to catch the crumbs

[@Andreaod73]

I was thinking this as doesn’t get too hot and cools down quickly , make use of the plug and more room on the worktop to put other things

[@rachelpowell2477]

Could you just buy a tub/container for the coffee pods? I know it wont look ascetically pleasing but it will fit x

[@Veronica-tq7xw]

Shannon take the pods out of the holder put them in baskets and put them on the skinny shelf above coffee machine xx

[@rosinaspeakman5162]

Forgot 😂😂😂 ask next door neighbour about window cleaner love and hugs ❤❤❤

[@sharonhughes1538]

👍

[@sharonhughes1538]

Love the blinds so cosy x

[@joysiee5060]

I would put things like those big pans in bottom cupboards and things you use more regularly in the larder cupboard so they are at hand and more easier 🥘

[@mariellahinde7696]

Oh Shan you are both doing an AMAZING job! I am stressing over your kitchen for you ! How are you not effing and jeffing ? I would buy another holder for your your coffee pods - I would of also taken a shelf out like Dan suggested- the one above the socket in the larder House is going to look amazing - you should be so so proud ❤❤❤❤

[@suzanneparton725]

Shan I'd put all your large appliances in the talll boy cupboard even if it means taking out a couple of shelves.....

[@bluelady55]

I feel your pain with the organisation in the kitchen. I’ve just recently moved. And have rearranged mine about 3/4 times. if you need a window cleaner you could try T.L.C they’re based in Ipswich.

[@juliehawkes1050]

Your doing a great job shan,think you have to many mugs and glasses 😆 🤣. But will last you for years to come

[@lisabill3664]

This is the dimensions of the square coffee pod dispenser from Amazon. L 32cm W 32 D 9cm B&Q and Argos do one but theirs are not as smart as Amazon's. However, still have a look at their coffee pod dispensers, because you might like the look of them.

[@Sparklyjewls]

House is looking lovely 😊❤xx

[@janinepowell413]

Wouldn't suggest putting anything in larder that creates heat/ moisture unless there is enough ventilation. Coffee & microwave machines will create heat and moisture

[@RoseAngella]

Get rid of a shelf so the pod stack can fit. Just lay the “extra”shelf on top of a shelf to store it out the way. Dan is right - you have to lose a shelf.

[@sharonwestfall8948]

Excellent vlog ,I am so happy for you and Dan ❤

[@traceyrichards8503]

Hiya shan & dan your both doing amazing with house & shan what a fantastic achievement youve made my lovely wow buying your first home you should be really proud of yourself i love it ❤ watchiing your chanel your so down to earth & i love that your beautiful inside & out im 50 & love to start a chanel lol keep shining beautiful ❤

[@kizzyfin6348]

wonderful you both worked so hard have great holiday xxxx

[@rosinaspeakman5162]

Am back again 😂😂😂 when you get round to freezer for out side make sure its says you can keep in outdoor shed found out hard way 3 freezers later😊 ❤❤❤

[@shirleysuckley2683]

Just an idea too, when ya do anymore painting,iv allways gone for vinyl silk rather than matt, cus it's more wiperble if you mark it,an matt can sometimes look a bit patches, hope you don't mind me saying ,hope your all OK xx

[@larrydickinson8700]

Possibly. U could get a free standing larda with meshing instead of glass. Think u can get slim line. Bless u u both are working hard. X

[@lucygale336]

Your doin fab 👌 can't wait to see it when its all done 😀 fairplay guys more than what we've done I've lived in me new build for 10 yrs and I ain't done nothin 😂my daughter painted the loo blue 😂but that's it we've still got a blank canvas as we moved in lol but I have put up pictures and clocks on walls so doesn't look too bare 😂o and I did put a link of paint on me back door 😂few weeks back ain't the greatest but then I ain't no painter decorator so what's exspect 😂❤have a fab eve

[@traceyfreeman2219]

Love to you all .hope mamma G is ok sx❤

[@andreamcilroy6578]

You can buy white pipe covers, less hassle than trying to box in the pipes in your kitchen cupboards . Buy a new pod holder 😂x

[@shirleysuckley2683]

I think you should of had more cupboards.up on that wall by the cooker really, I don't think ya going to have enough room for all your stuff you've bought, not being funny xx

[@joysiee5060]

I had plugs put in our cupboard for microwave or such but it didn't work for us and used for storage

[@Suzieplook]

Oh Shan I had new kitchen was just like you can’t decide where to put things I keep swapping things around my husband never knows where anything is but cups by kettle , I had my micro in cupboard just leave door open when using 🥴

[@melodyharris7455]

Get a smaller pod holder , I’ve got one on a stand with a drawer underneath for pods x

[@melodyharris7455]

Amazon sell them

[@mandymaxwell3249]

All looking amazing lovely ❤

[@user-wp7uo8zc1h]

grafters 😅

[@melodyharris7455]

Just get it all put away you can always rearrange if it don’t work. Kettle and cups need to be near each other and near tap x

[@joysiee5060]

Have you a Heron Foods near you now Shan, if so you will love it

[@julieencespence8335]

Just take one of the small shel out 😅

[@shelleyroberts3989]

❤

[@SusanMowe]

Put a jumper on not the heating lol

[@annhall9095]

Just leave it on side

[@demigodhero7018]

Everyone is gushing about your house, all deluded , rather than buy extra wardrobes and cupboards to store your massively duplicated things just hire a skip and dump the lot ,life with a hoarder must be hell on Earth give Dan the atic and donate your clothes ain't no way on earth they will fit you the amount of junk food you consume.

[@AllThingsShannonx]

Hi ‘demigod’ clearly you are offended by a woman with curves as your last comment of my backside being the size of a country did make me laugh…why don’t you skip the video and dump your boring comments elsewhere ✌️

[@rosinaspeakman5162]

@demigodhero7018 😂😂😂 what a name 🤪 you need a life instead of being a nasty horrible human being ..

[@mamofoneteen5178]

Wow, you really are horrible. Leave Shannon alone, she doesn’t deserve the level of judgment in your comment.

[@mamofoneteen5178]

@@AllThingsShannonx Shannon I am disgusted in that comment. You are s beautiful young women with a heart of gold, who brings so much joy to your followers life’s. Please keep doing you, your way, always. Sending love ❤❤❤
