Spring cleaning, tidying, washing

Lovely video 💕💕

[@zoebrindle7269]

Brilliant !! Just goes to show taking time out to de clutter and finding places for items eventually makes a huge difference !! Your home is looking terrific 👍. I’d love you to do a garden video showing us plants and shrubs etc and how they flower ..... we’ve a fairly new garden and I’m finding it a little overwhelming trying to get it established ☺️. I love your garden .... help please 🙏. Sending love 💐

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMMA! You weren't supposed to post! hahaha, I hope you had a wonderful celebration. I love the washing line intro, it brings normalcy to the world! That's a lot of goose grass! At least you don't have midges.......there is time to cut back and weed. OH MY!OH GAWD! You mentioned my post! HAHA! Oh no......I am laughing. It's a cottage from 1820, and yes, the tip top of Scotland. In Winter, it feels like Lapland.....Thank you, Emma. x

[@gettingtidy2495]

Which is the goose grass? Is it what I call sticky weed? We don't really have midges here. I thought it was a cottage from the style of the garden. How lovely. Have you visited England much?

[@nikkiross2208]

@@gettingtidy2495 Ah yes, we live in a stone cottage built in 1820. We lived in Northeast of England and West Yorkshire previously. The Scottish Highlands sang to my heartstrings when we sailed past Cape Wrath and around John O' Groats on the ship we were on. I had to be here! I have been to Norwich once, back in 2007!

Hi Emma, great to see you. I think that song was called ‘you can call me AL’ Paul Simon and Chevy Chase, brilliant song.😊 You had some lovely gifts for your birthday.

[@gettingtidy2495]

That's the song! Yes I was really pleased 😀😀

[@carolynoquinn4573]

That store is cool!

[@gettingtidy2495]

I loved it too!

[@mariafelixfernandez3715]

Ohhh! Late, but happy birthday Emma❤

[@Cookmomx3]

Hope you felt like a Queen Bee Mama on your birthday from your family!😍😘😍

[@angelajthorpe]

You can call me Al by Paul Simon. I don't know why, but the words revision/revising always crack me up.

[@gettingtidy2495]

That's the one! Love that song.

[@gettingtidy2495]

Don't you use those words then? Are they specific to us?

[@angelajthorpe]

@@gettingtidy2495 I think they are specific to the UK. The US typically uses the word study or studying. I'm not sure what word other countries use. Every time I hear revising in UK TV shows, I chuckle. Last Tango in Halifax used the word quite often.

Wishing you a very healthy and happy Emma🥳🎈🎁🎂

Thanks very much

[@emfairclough]

Happy Birthday Emma our little Gemini 🎉 wishing you a blessed year ahead ! You really made me laugh when you said you now have to find homes for all the prezzies - really shows how much your mentality has changed. My only advice is USE what you have don't save things for a better day and for other prezzies like the mug well it's a one in one out situation 😬Love your new laundry canisters great idea 💡 love everything you do in your 3 gardens . Love that you are folding laundry straight off the line and love that you are using a washing basket. So many small but significant changes all adding up now👏 I'm 34 tomorrow May 30th 🤘 I'm strawberry blonde just like you and my name is also Emma 😉 really loving following your journey. Stairs, landing and bathroom all looking great , the 2p trick is a secret game changer 👌 well done on donating bags of stuff on the weekend . So excited for more getting tidier ! Ps - did you manage to fix hubby's drawer?

[@gettingtidy2495]

Thank you was so pleased to get rid of so much at the charity shop. One of my bags split though and I didn't want to look at the things 🙈🙈 Drawer is still broken 😢

[@lauramitchell6725]

At 14:32,loved seeing your “mini me” with her beautiful long red hair held back with her sunglasses,just like mom! (I do the same thing!)🤭 Also,LOVED that store!

[@gettingtidy2495]

I liked the shop too. My daughter said she knew I'd like it. I don't see her as having red hair but you are right in the sun it has a lot of red in it. A bit like mine. I think if myself as dark blonde! I'm lost without sunglasses on my head....all through winter too 🙈😆😂😂. Have a good day. Are you going for dinner or something for your anniversary?

[@lauramitchell6725]

@@gettingtidy2495 Yes,this Saturday afternoon we have to do something in York,Pennsylvania.(about an hour from us- origin of Pfaltzgraff dishes and York Peppermint Patties-which are now produced by Hershey,an hour in the other direction from us). Anyway,there is a MUCH larger selection of restaurants there so we will have a nice dinner out.👌🥰

Happy Birthday yesterday, Emma.

Thanks Carolyn. Did you have a lovely day?

Happy birthdaaay ❤🎉 great video😊

[@brookhowell8841]

It looks like you had a wonderful birthday! I had to smile when I saw the chairs from your guest room in your lounge. 😂 Were you able to get your hall table posted for sale? It would be lovely if you got a little bigger basket for your lounge. I love love love love baskets! I wish I could send you a video of my chickens, but I don't have a channel. Sometimes I share pictures or videos on my social media. I tried to mention it awhile back and I wonder if that was why my comment didn't post. I keep forgetting to ask you. Which room does your husband use when he works from home?

[@gettingtidy2495]

Incredibly those chairs were from the dining room. We didn't bring another spare one down, we should have as my Mum's partner sat on the floor. Not posted the table online yet I need to get rid of the things on it. I got rid of the old medication yesterday. This last week I've rid of papers, a book, flat batteries and a teddy bear. So I'm getting there!! You can video the chicken and just upload 😀 He doesn't work in a certain room. He used his man cave last year but hasn't this year. He moves between the lounge and dining room depending on where we are (in the holidays). When we both are working from home I go upstairs. I like having two screens for a lot of my work. My husband likes to keep moving due to his back.

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

I'm glad you had such a nice birthday with some lovely gifts. Does that ending mean the playroom is next? Good luck with it!

[@gettingtidy2495]

Need to do something with it 🙈🙈

Do the Girl Guides take a break over the Summer?

[@gettingtidy2495]

Yes they do for 6 weeks 😊🎉

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Who put that stuff on top of the cabinets????

[@gettingtidy2495]

I said the same thing 🤔😞 It was to "make space" on the work surface 😮😮😮😮

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Do you mean Paul Simon's "You can call me out"?

[@gettingtidy2495]

Yes Paul Simon. I like that song!

To those of you who kindly expressed concern and well wishes for my heart catheterization on the 28th, (especially dear Emma) I’m happy to report that everything went well,my heart is in great shape(better then the cardiologist’s,he said🤭) and the result from the first test(Nuclear Stress Test) ended up being a false positive,which they say is quite common! So I guess it wasn’t a bad way for my husband and I to spend our 47th anniversary together after all!❤️‍🩹🎉🙌🏻
