OUR FIRST DATE | THE LODGE GUYS | HUSBANDS

[@hellohowie29]

My saviour has been volunteering at the local vaccination hub, an amazing group of dedicated people, such a positive experience, I'd go everyday if I could. All the volunteers love it so much we are now fighting to get shifts. take care guys.

[@rachelhalse8471]

This lockdown definitely harder than the last. Working from home, doing home schooling and finding it hard to get out due to the weather. Your vlogs give me something to look forward to. THANK YOU x

[@cindycoleman82]

I don’t think we have seen the balcony- how about a tour of in in the next vlog?

[@vanessabircher4346]

Pandemic fatigue is an understatement 🥺 i was in hospital for a week and couldn’t wait to come home. Got home and within days I felt like I’d just swapped one prison for another 🤦🏼‍♀️ couldn’t get out walking due to my recovery but can as of tomorrow I can! Actually excited to be going over the door 🤗 On a happy note I got my Covid jab today ( I’m only 52 but had breast cancer last year so still in the vulnerable list) ... light at the end of a long tunnel! You guys just keep me going! ❤️

[@ThemeParkBazza]

Maxine says one white full length shelf in the kitchen . Branson is awesome on salad or a cheese sandwich !!

[@suefoster6574]

Been shielding since March I’ve gone back to my crafting even got myself some colouring books very therapeutic still feel like I’m climbing the walls some days. But always look forward to watching you two

[@jacquelinekinnaird6994]

I was furloughed for 6 months, I won’t lie it was nice at first, summer off with the kids but then I started to get fed up, anxious, worried about money and eventually got made redundant. I was lucky to find another job within two months and since starting I feel so much better mentally! I have routine and structure to my day. I’m busy working from home, join online meetings and my days pass quickly so I’m not minding lockdown so much. The toughest thing is trying to home school aswell when my husband is out working too. My mum and dad both got their first vaccine this week, hopefully there is now light at the end of the tunnel.

[@Lynnmarie9395]

As a teacher, I had my first vaccine yesterday. Been working hybrid schedule since September. Miss going out to restaurants and leisurely shopping.

[@donnapearmain6477]

We’ve been working from home since March, lockdown 3 seems so much harder especially as we now have to support the kids with on line learning. I’ve switched my hours so I can help the kids 8-12 then start work at 12-6, then finish, have tea, reset the table for home school, tidy up, chill for a bit then bed and repeat. Some days o don’t even manage to get out of the house

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Can't imagine how hard it is for people with kids at the moment and having to do a full time job too. How can you be expected to fit it all in

[@debbi1231]

Got to admit this lockdown isn’t bothering me at all, we don’t really go out all the time when it’s normal only to the shops so nothing is really different. And I can honestly say we’ve never had a delivery throughout it all. We have a lovely wood next to where I live so have been going on a walk with my nieces and nephew every now and again and looking for painted rocks. My parents have had their first jab waiting to hear when they have their next one. Xx

[@paulinedavidson3139]

Feeling pretty much like yourselves. Working night-shift and home schooling through the day so pretty much knackered all the time, can't be bothered doing anything after that but .... onwards and upwards

[@NeilSheldon13]

Have you thought about moving the microwave off the fridge? As quite a dense black item that might add to the corner feeling dark?? Maybe if that was moved to where the coffee machine/hot water/slow cooker are and those dispersed elsewhere it might feel brighter? Those things could go on the other side of the sink or on shelves made above the toaster?? Just a thought x

[@lndjn2]

My mom (she's 93) has had both of her vaccinations now. Where I live they asked everyone who haven't got symptoms to have a Covid test, which I did yesterday and with in 30 minutes I had a text telling me I was negative. They are hoping to find people who haven't got symptoms but do have Covid so they can isolate to prevent the spread. Apparently our latest report shows that the number of people with Covid has now dropped by a third. Hopefully if we all stick to the rules we may be lucky enough to have a chance of getting some kind of summer. Take care. xx

[@VickieThomp5on]

Aw thanks guys for the mention. Tommyt999 loves playing with you guys and seeing your progress. Plus, you’ve got a win!!

[@maydaria9052]

Yay...glad your family is getting the vaccine. Hope Your dad gets his call soon. I’m from California and both my parents got their first vaccine dose. They are scheduled for the 2nd on the 18th. So relieved for them. I work in social services and go to work everyday. Thank God I have been safe and healthy. Knock on wood. 🙏Waiting to get my vaccine too. Until then, doubling up my masks and keeping my distance. Stay safe! Love from Cali 😘

[@samanthahobbs2966]

I’m working from home, that is helpful to keep a routine but I do struggle at weekends with keeping busy and being stuck inside but make sure i go for a daily walk. My mum had to shield in the first lockdown and they are now saying she isn’t so vulnerable (which is good obviously) but she doesn’t get prioritised for the vaccine so hopefully she doesn’t have to wait too long

[@hadfieldfamily5275]

I'm working from home have been since sept 2020 I work for NHSBT (blood) very busy with registering plasma donors (people who had covid) trying to home school 3 kids aswell feeling it this time round ur videos keep me going with love Hadfield family xxx🥰💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@littlebigexplorers6990]

This lockdown is definitely more difficult. I'm a huge introvert and actually loved the previous lockdowns as I enjoy staying home but even I'm getting fed up now. I find myself being constantly tired even though I'm not doing anything. Like Nick said I think it's because there's nothing stimulating my mind!

[@wendygriffiths585]

To be honest I’m doing really well throughout this lockdown, it’s when the spring/ summer comes that I would struggle more, I’m walking more than ever then with the house work and cooking tea followed by watching you two I can’t complain, my days are filled, like Nick says grin and bear it lockdown won’t be forever, x

[@marjcameron312]

Had the 1st vaccine, but my 2nd shot was cancelled due to supply. Originally told 2nd shot was to be 21 days after 1st, but interesting enough that has been change to 35-42 days after original. Interesting how rules change! Work in healthcare in Canada. Stay safe.

[@anitajohnson3085]

I'm working , worked all the way threw from last march , now getting fed up and exhausted from stupid people not wearing masks 😡, stay safe you lovely lodge guys xx

[@Janeywaney78]

In front of the fridge, you could put hooks on the walls to store your pans.. hung by the handles, so they’re flat against the wall and will free up space in a cupboard or drawer?

[@louisewill1052]

Think everyone is feeling how you guys are feeling ..... winter was always going to be hard. Roll on the lighter nights with better weather.

[@Vibesoftheworld49]

After working at home for almost a year now together with my partner we actually do hardly anything anymore after we logged off from work. It's way harder now in the winter tbh. And really getting sick of working home. If this keeps on going and we can go on holliday we might just work half days from there. Imagine, getting a hotel in Orlando for like 4 or 5 weeks and have a work/holliday mix. Work 4 hours in the mornings and have the rest of the day off.

[@alisonl777]

It's been a long day today and I haven't stopped eating 🐷 through boredom! Ach well tomorrow's a new day! Leigh your first date must have left a good impression really because Nick is still beside you after all these years 🥰 I will absolutely see you tomorrow night,I can't imagine not tuning in 💙💙 xx

[@dedicatedtodisney6927]

Can’t wait to see the before and after apartment tour

[@nicolaward1034]

Not doing too good at the moment, both myself & the hubby tested positive for Covid-19 over a week ago & it’s been pretty rough 🤢🤒🤧... Your vlogs give us something to look forward to ❤️ xx

[@alexmcghie4022]

We feel exactly the same as you both.... lockdown is very boring now! Working from home and trying to stay positive with the thought that normality will return eventually ☺️ walking helps us 🚶as well as watching you both , you keep us smiling and lifted so thank you ♥️ glad your family have had their first vaccinations x

[@cherstyler]

blackboard in the kitchen you can have a kitchen wall journal!

[@thecanuckcrew3197]

Love the reminisicing of your first date between the two of you. Neil & Matthew (a.k.a. The Canuck Crew)

[@suziverhaege2591]

Me and the husband are sat here watching this and having a full blown conversation with you both about your kitchen wall 😂 happy to say we all agreed that the shelves should be on the left with the bin below and some wall art or a black board (clean one not chalky for aesthetic purposes) of some variety on the right 😂

[@sandragardner7553]

I have been working from home since the week before lockdown I quite like it without the hour’s commute either way. I do miss not seeing my friends at work. Glad to hear your family are getting vaccinated Leigh. I just keep thinking the more people that get vaccinated the closer we get to being vaccinated. Then we can get back to spending time with our families and get back to a more normal life.

[@tallactordude]

I know there are a number of other meal services in the US that aren’t anywhere else, like Home Chef and Blue Apron, but Hello Fresh is really the only one I know of that is in both the US and the UK. I don’t know much about any others. We don’t have a nationwide lockdown in the US, but I am trying to stay home as much as possible. I know this doesn’t help Nick, but I do read a lot, and I also watch videos and TV shows. I should do a lot more straightening up and housecleaning than I do.

[@lesleybenson8794]

What a lovely old married couple you are. So sweet and funny.👍❤️

[@gilscot100]

Both retired recently. Not boring more monotonous. First lockdown sewed hundreds of face masks for donating. Here in northern California our strict restrictions just eased a bit from being in place from December 6th. OMG our first date was similar with me yacking on non stop and him not opening his mouth. Cant get him to shut up now. Together for 44 years married for 42.

[@bbunnyangel]

Hey guys! I love hearing about you guys first date 😍 Glad Nick was able to get you out of your shell Leigh. Best wishes ❤ Lodger Britt from FL!

[@michleciarla7362]

I love your videos but since September my granddaughter is in virtual school so I can see the video until after school is out. I miss not being able to see them right when they come out.

[@samanthahobbs2966]

I work from home, and then I go for a walk and then do a puzzle, or watch TV, not a lot else to do!

[@maxmcfadden9913]

1st lockdown I watched ‘ once upon a time’ on Netflix 2nd lockdown and Christmas period I rewatched friends 3rd lockdown I’m watching and loving ‘this is us’ on Amazon prime.

[@catherinefewkes1918]

Nick as lovely as we know Leigh is, what made you go on a second date after a silent first date?

[@ilsehunt6338]

I’m glad Batty B and uncle B have got their injection , pleased your mum and dad will soon have theirs ! There is talk of everyone getting their first jab by May ! Nick should be in group 6 as he is asthmatic. I’m not enjoying this lockdown at all ! I’m now hooked on watching vlogs on utube lol x x stay safe

[@margaretalletson84]

We are registered for our vaccine,we are number 51,698 and they have done 6,000..Would be waiting forever,so I signed up for Tampa and we go on Tuesday! I will drive 50 miles willingly...

[@craigwoods5272]

Could you spin the fridge 90 degrees to go in the corner, then have a cupboard over the top. Microwave to the side? Then no shelves and a bit more cupboard space?

[@Sandy-zr5hs]

You know, even though you’re bored this was so entertaining, Nick so funny, negative to everything, Leigh trying hard to keep spirits up and snubbed every time by Nick whilst eating his crackers 😂...and then your first date, brilliant! 🤣 Yes please, a talk on whether you would like children, or not, you’d make great dads 🥰

[@shirleydunn8050]

Lovely to hear your family and viewers are getting the vaccine. Someone said every day is a day nearer to the Pandemic being over. I keep thinking of that when I'm down.

[@carolynscollon4319]

Got made redundant because of the pandemic, but took up making Disney style ears , hand sewing teddy bears, and making face masks to keep me pre-occupied, but watching the vlog and stuffing my face with a bag of crisps and 2 Cadbury’s flakes no regrets, loving the vlogs you two stay safe

[@lizranwell422]

Why dont you put floor to ceiling cupboard along the wall where the bin is,and then have space for the fridge and have more cupboard space.

[@chrisstockmal411]

I'm glad Nick likes the coffee that I to you sent for Christmas. I made "Grumpy" happy, SCORE! lol

[@donnamatthews1964]

I have worked throughtout every lockdown and my only out is my walking, but this lockdown is harder because the only walking I can do is on pavements as its too wet to walk any nature trails, and I tend to walk early doors before work or after work so its always dark. Even I am getting bored of walking the same places day in day out.

[@michaelclark1590]

Another great vlog guys...💖...Your first date story is so funny...From Leigh not speaking one word... To...Nick and Leigh being together 23 years...Congratulations to you both...💕... Take care and stay safe😷

[@leastubbs8593]

Of course we will back again tomorrow Leigh, never fail to watch you just made us laugh and im glad its not just us fed up with Lockdown and Nick you are right what else is there to do besides eat lol, its great we are all in this together, chin up guys you make our day every day and your boring day is certainly not boring for us just be you 😁xx

[@MissPipzter1976]

Furlough and I’m crafting, making greeting cards, knitting 🧶 hats and masks 😷

[@judemc5318]

Lol!! 😂 aww this vlog made me laugh .. that's exactly how me and my hubby are feeling just so fed up doing nothing lol .. glad we are not the only ones feeling this way

[@eileenhartley5050]

Still working as I work for the NHS had my first vaccine in January

[@Chieftracyhorse]

[@susanharrison73]

I work in pharmacy so I have worked right the way through this pandemic and its super busy but on the plus side I've just had my covid vaccine

[@marjcameron312]

Popcorn always my go to for hunger/ boredom in lockdown.

[@lisajl6242]

You two have really made your place look great.

[@andrewtugwell242]

Lol you guys make me giggle with your greys haha it’s like 50 shades of grey in your apartment. Hope your both well 🙂

[@davidbale1297]

Hi Guys just in case you don't already know all the DIY shops B@Q, WILKO, and the Range are still open. The lock Down won't last forever.

[@tinajustfortoday4495]

My hubby and I would love to get the vaccine. We both qualify however....it is in such high demand we cannot get an appt. For it. We shall continue to try. On a positive note this is a good thing, it means people are getting it and this means normality back in our lives sooner rather than later.

[@kirstyr2354]

Do a shopping haul like Dave from Sophie and Dave. He’s hilarious 🤣

[@mand1120]

Been working from home since March 2020! We have message on the line to say we are working home and you may hear background noise! Kids, dogs partners! Still get negative comments! Please be kind people we are doing our best xx

[@Kiwiangie1965]

I think one shelf all along it will give your eye line to distract from the space if you know what I mean

[@andysroadtrips7770]

crown emulsion color sail white would look good i been decorating all day hope u guys ok

[@janetpayne8129]

shelves will look good either way, either one double or two doubles . Like you two I get fed up with being in all day and just a little exercise. Have you been watching Wandavision on Disney Plus?

[@ChrisThomas212]

Is that Space Mountain on top of the black microwave?

[@andreadesmarais7116]

Yes, it a cookie jar they got :) Very cool I thought

[@mandydavies7096]

I felt a bit tired for a couple of days after my jab. The worst thing was when they make you stay in the hospital for 15 minutes...just in case 😮

[@lucyc3696]

The range where we are(the Midlands) is open, are you sure yours isn't? 🤔

[@audlong48]

The Range is open ,however people should only be going for essential items

[@glendajames6006]

[@vickimccollum2537]

[@ethanrichardson5139]

You both love teasing each other about this weight stuff don't you. xD

[@os6619]

Thanks god my husband is not very talkative as your husband never shut up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
