Great video. It's really nice to see how far along your videos have come. Carry on and keep being awesome 😊

Aww thank you ☺️

Will you please stop apologising, your home is NOT a mess at all, you have a lovely liveable home. Will you please write down everything you do each day and at the end of the day look at your list. You are cooking from scratch great healthy meals, you are decluttering a lot and cleaning, looking after your son and keeping us entertained with your videos every week. I loved this video especially the clips of sorting and decluttering you have done throughout the week. I'm also enjoying the recipes you are sharing with us, the quiche looks amazing. Lastly remind everyone to like and subscribe as I'd love to see your subscription get to 1000, you definitely deserve it. Have a great week.

Aww thank you so much Sarah this all means so much to me, I’m super glad you’re enjoying the content of my videos 🥰 the Quiche was soooooo yummy, of course Dexter didn’t think so 🙈 haha but everyone else who tried it enjoyed it, considering I just threw it together too haha You’re right, I’ve been rubbish asking for like and subs, I will try to remember to include that and I will definitely sit down and write down what I’m doing, sometimes I forget how much I am managing so that’s a good idea. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi stranger....how are you? feels like ages since we last spoke on here and Instagram aha. Think I sent you a couple of messages but I understand if you've been busy. I'm exactly the same as you when it comes to decluttering, like I find it so hard to throw things away and part with things I no longer use as they have value and meaning know what I mean? and even when I do throw it out or get rid of it I'm filled with regret and either go retrieve it back or just live with the regret now it's gone. I am going to start actually decluttering and getting rid of things this week though especially in my bedroom, you should see it it's a mix between tidy and organised and stuff that I've just bought and put somewhere lol. I'd like a nice fresh space around my desk area. My thinking is im going to take things down then put a few things back up and reorganize my walls a bit. I don't really show it in my vlogs as its not really what I do now aha. But I was thinking the other day I need to make a start and sort shelves out take things down put stuff back up buy new things that look nice on the walls. I think the thing is with items is we grow such an attachment to things and they make us feel comfortable then struggle to get rid or part with them when we feel like there's just too much know what I mean? lol but sometimes getting rid of things like photos on our phones or real life stuff it can be helpful and make us feel better. Make way for the new kinda thing. I had an abscess that grew thanks to an infected tooth a couple of weeks ago. I have not been looking after myself or my teeth past few months and been filling my face with sweets, chocolate, crisp, pop etc and not caring about my gums or teeth due to depression and anxiety and tiredness. So went to bed one night and next morning woke up with an abscess right side of my face and people in shops said it looked painful, it was!. I was going to leave it hoping it will go away and sort itself out, but I was actually really close to throwing up that morning as I accidentally swallowed some puss in my sleep, its basically poison isn't it, one morning I felt weak, got tingles, hot flushes and that feeling you get just before you do actually hurl, but I managed to stop myself thankfully, went back to sleep woke up and i was fine but the abscess was still there. So I made myself a dentist appointment for the same day think it was I've no idea how long it had been growing for. I hate the dentist so much i was full of fear and anxiety. It was a friend who urged me to go, I took my sister as had nobody to go with as other siblings were at work and my brother has moved out now to live with his girlfriend and he works to. Got to the Dentist had the tooth out after pointing out to the Dentist which one had been causing the pain and had it out. Honestly they were super super friendly and nice and he kept saying to me i was doing a great job and nearly done, i was close to asking the girl who was next to me to hold her hand as there was a lot of pressure on my gums and teeth but i was OK I had the TV to watch above me lol. I closed my eyes for a few minutes but i couldn't feel a thing as my gums were numb thankfully aha. I had a tooth ache and pain for a few days after but now the abscess has gone there is no more pain. They said it was a bad tooth to. Just need to look after my teeth a bit more which I'm doing and not fill my face with loads of sugary stuff lol. I have anxiety and depression so i know how you feel with anxiety. Stops us from doing stuff but sometimes just got to kick it in the face and do what you want to do and not let it stop you!. My Instagram messages are always open if you fancy a chat. I'll try get rid of stuff without getting it back again haha. It kind of needs sorting and doing to be honest. Keep going with yours though looks like your doing a fab job!. ☺

Hi Peter I’m so sorry things have been so hectic round here I’ve been struggling to keep up with everything and everyone. I’m so so sorry to hear about your tooth dilemma I do hope it is feeling much better now? I hate the dentist too, you did amazing for going through and getting it sorted. Tooth pain is honestly the worst. I blame Toy Story for my hard time with decluttering 🙈😂 dexters been watching it a lot lately and I remember how attached to my toys I was as a child because of it. I still believe they come to life at night and when we’re out lmao Anxiety and depression is the worst isn’t it. Thank you that’s so kind of you and my inbox is open too, I might take a year to get back to you but I will eventually. I’m finding being online in general difficult. I’m just rubbish at it at the moment haha I will check my Insta soon, I’m so sorry it’s taking me forever to respond. I hope you are well otherwise? 🙂 xxx

@@Livingthefreelife Don't apologise it's totally fine aha I understand fully!. I'm glad I went to get it sorted out to. Could have grown so much bigger if I'd have just left it like I was close to nearly doing. Toy Story used to by one of my favorite films growing up we always used to watch it. It's quite sad but good at the same time. It is difficult to get rid of things but like I said once you've gotten rid you'll start to feel better. Depression definitely takes over sometimes like theres days where you just want to stay in and not do anything be a couch potato lol. Finding something to occupy your mind is good to even if its evening walks which i go on every single night and sometimes talk to people to which I find so beneficial to me, I kind of get a great feeling talking to people especially when I walk away haha makes you feel actually included in society its so good. I'ts OK aha always here take your time. I'm tired at the moment, trying to get as much rest as possible before going out to do videos. Got a few written down im looking forward to doing this Summer. My channel has been doing so well lately just need to keep being positive and keep the faith which I've been following within myself, like I can do this I know I can and not listen to my anxiety or depression and just do it. My other brother is expecting a baby with his girlfriend to, its due October so either on my birthday or his. I'm going to be an uncle or is it nephew? I dont aha. Either one of the two. How you coping with the little heatwave we are having at the moment? you ready or doing anything for Summer? ☺

[@Livingthefreelife]

@@peter_robinson thank you for always being so understanding Peter. I’m glad you got the tooth sorted!! I love Toy Story too, the 3rd and 4th always make me cry haha dexter loves the 3rd one. It’s great you’re getting out and talking to people. You’re so brave, I struggle with that a lot. You inspire me though :) I’m glad your channel is doing great, you put so much effort into it and you deserve only good things :) it’s good to take breaks and rest too, I’ve been trying to do the same lately with everything going on etc Not coping with the heat at all 😩 feel bad for moaning, it’s nice to have some sun but gosh there’s just no air at the moment. Dexters not been a fan of the heat either, he’s been super grumpy bless him. How are you coping with it? Nothing particularly planned for summer, avoiding people as much as possible hopefully lol it gets so busy here and makes me feel like I don’t want to go out even if I have the energy too, going to try and find some quieter places to go when we can. How about you? :). Xxx

@@peter_robinson p.s. congratulations on becoming an uncle!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@peter_robinson]

@@Livingthefreelife it's OK aha need more people to be understanding these days instead of people judging etc. Been there myself with a certain someone I used to talk to. Think I've mention her to you before, I actually went to the police about her it got that bad they said to go back if she carries on. She tried contacting me today after I blocked her for good because I know I deserve better than her and what she did to me, I blocked the number as Knew it was her. There's not is there aha. like we are kinda suffering but in a good way lol, kinda need the sun though makes us feel good and the Vitamin D. Aww thank you aha, I try my best its more my confidence these days I think is whats driving me and pushing me to become better than myself even though I am just myself I dont intend to be better aha. I dont think people realise how much thought and planning goes into my videos there's so much thinking, planning and editing but I enjoy doing what I do so thats important. I dont focus on the numbers I just put creativity into each video and put it out. I dont think about views when I'm filming or ever really. I know some want popularity and its kinda sad to think about. Nothing much planned other than get as many videos done and up as I possibly can while taking breaks inbetween filming to so I dont completely burn myself out, we dont want that us content creators do we aha. It's important to think about yourself which im doing more of and having self care shopping days. Currently back in my Lego era aha been buying a few sets I say a few, a lot of sets from my local Smyths store I used to go to with my mum. I've always loved Lego. Just finished Building the Lego Kingfisher bird set I'll send you a pic on Instagram when you check it it will be there. Just chilling at home this Summer and doing my videos being by the sea it gets busy and sometimes overwhelming so I often stay in I'm finding it being a bit overwhelming for me at the moment im not usually like this I just want to stay in some days aha but I know I have to keep up appearances and show my face to mother nature lol. 😅☺
