Aww Lynn, you are always so positive in your outlook in life. What a time you are having, lucky though that your husband can sort it out, jack of all trades he is 😊You make me chuckle every time I watch you, saving yourself £4 😂😂😂😂.
I try to be Jean, no point moping about, I think it’s wasted energy, and I am very luck, Harvey can sort most things, we’re nearly back to where we were before the burst, so I’ll be able to share the video soon of the drama 🫣 and the £4 will help to pay for it hahaha 🤣😂🤣❤️
Hi Lynn, I love your hair, it's such a pretty colour. Sorry to hear about the drama with the burst pipe. I was hoping to see the sweater from Tesco's but maybe you said you'd show it in another video? Sorry, I can't remember! Thank you for another relaxing vlog. ❤xx
That’s a very old video Sue, so I can’t remember which jumper I was on about lol, sorry…. Hope you have a lovely weekend ❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M Don't worry Lynn. 😊 Hope you have a good weekend too. xx
Hi Lynn what a week u and Harvey have had glad u have found water leak and can get the work done to front of house .Thanks for showing how u style your hair it always looks good had to laugh about ironing your hair no straighteners then the things we used to do for beauty 😂😂 😊
We’re on the right side of it now thank you Eileen, I take you’ve ironed your hair too lol 😂 and it started me thinking about other stuff we did when growing up, the world is such a different place isn’t it ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Lynn what a week in the life of Lynn & Harvey bless you. Thanks for your trouble as if you haven’t had enough to do. Try and have a decent weekend. See you soon. Carol 🌹
Hi Carol, oh we’ll be ok, we’ve had worse, and thankfully we have sorted the burst, and the front is nearly back to how it was before, ready for a base coat 🙈 what a palava, hope all is well with you ❤️❤️❤️
Nice blog Lynn sorry about the burst pipe Xx
Thank you 😊 it’ll be fine Poppy, we’re nearly sorted now, thank you ❤️
You're always positive and send out good vibes and that's what I love best about your channel, Lynn! Sending some good vibes back to you, too! 😊
Ah thank you, that’s one of the nicest things you could have said to me, and thank you for sending some to me, so lovely LM ❤️❤️❤️
At least the leak was found before the finishing layers were done. It will look lovely when it’s finished.
You’re putting out so many super vlogs and cheer me up with each one. Thank you for keeping going and for all the fun 😃❤👏🏻 xx
Absolutely Carole, and it will look nice and tidy soon. Awww thank you, I’m glad you like them ❤️
Aw Lynne do I feel for you and Harvey. These things are truly sent to try us. There are things like this that are out of our control, if we did not crack a smile, we would cry. All that hard work will be worth it in the end. Thanks for the vlog ❤ ❤❤ 32:40
So true Mary, and we are fortunate that Harvey knows what to do, and we have friends with machinery, bless him, he’s worked so hard this week ❤️
I also used to iron my hair Lynn. Sometimes using newspaper if I couldn’t find brown paper. However one day I caught my face with the iron. I was trying to look at what I was doing whilst I was doing it. Rookie mistake. The burn on my face unfortunately needed medical attention. The doctor asked e how I had burnt my face with an iron. When I told him I was straightening my hair he looked at me like I needed a psychiatric assessment not antibiotics !! 🤣.
Oh the things we used to do to look nice, but there was no such thing as straighteners back in the day, so we improvised lol. Sorry about your face though, I bet that hurt. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn. Another great video you do cheer me up so thank you. I really feel for you and Harvey but I’m sure you will be all sorted soon. I think I would have cried but you’re such a lovely positive lady so well done for not letting it bring you down. I hate when things happen that we can’t control but that’s life unfortunately and you have the right attitude for dealing with these things. I’m trying to be more like you. I hope your father in law enjoyed his jam roly poly and custard I bet he loved it. I absolutely love your videos. Have a lovely Tuesday 🥰💕
Ah that’s nice Sandra, we are nearly back to normal now thank you. If I feel myself getting low, I always try and think of what I other people have to deal with, and it really does help me to stay positive, because I’d rather have to deal with my stuff, than have to deal with theirs, if that makes sense. Anyway it helps me for sure. Oh Tommy loved his pudding, he’s looking forward to this weeks bake 😂 Thank you so much Sandra ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn. You’ll be glad when the work is finished - I’m sure you’ll be back on track soon. My chemist will let me have 1% hydrocortisone which usually clears up rashes like that but they always say not to use it for too long ❤️
Hi Rosemary, I will, but we’re nearly back to where we were before the burst, so won’t be long till I’m all tidy again. I’ve just had some tea tree gel delivered so I’m hoping that will work 🤞❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, many thanks for the lovely video. Please pass on my good wishes to Harvey for a Happy Birthday. Glad you eventually found the leak you couldn't miss it ...your very own waterfall!! lol.....I hope it is not going to cost a lot to fix. Take care see you on the next one.
Hi Julie, I will tell him. Yes it’s turned out very expensive, but we have no choice, so just got to suck it up and get on with it. It’s nearly all sorted now thank you ❤️
Hi Lynn, yep me and my sister used to iron our too with brown paper 😂 xx
It was the thing to do back then, no straighteners for us, just an iron and brown paper, it’s a wonder we have any hair left lol 😂❤️
Oh im so sorry! But thank you for still posting. Fingers crossed its soon sorted.
We’re nearly sorted Linda, but thank you ❤️❤️
Oh dear Lynne! I hope the leak gets sorted quickly, it's so annoying when these things happen. At least you've got your Tesco trips to cheer you up 😂. Fingers crossed next week is better for you xx
Oh yes, a cheeky Tesco shop always cheers me up lol 😂, we’re getting there now thank you ❤️
Oh Lynn, Love all your updates. Tesco trips are wonderful. I too bought a gilet, took it home, didn't like it and I somehow got out of the shop with the tag still on so couldn't wear it anyway, but swapped it for some pants!! they are Ok. Love your thinking, a big saving there, I would have done exactly the same. Sorry about your water problems, hope you get sorted soon. Making dumplings this weekend for tea. Have a great week. Take Care.. x
Hi Milly, that’s one of the things I like about Tesco, it’s so easy to take back when you go for your shopping…my kinda woman Milly hahaha.. we’ll be fine, we’re getting there now thank you ❤️
mince onions and dumplings, yum yum, I can smell it, one of our favourites, hope the burst gets fixed soon and hope Harvey managed to enjoy his birthday xx
Delicious Nellie, and yes he had a nice time thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Aww thank you for sharing Lynn, I really hope everything gets sorted out for you both. x
Oh it will Joanne, thank you, we’ll be fine and hopefully nice and tidy very soon ❤️❤️
Have you tried Eurex cream that might help. And what a worry with the leak hope it’s all sorted. I must try some dumplings they look delicious have a great weekend ❤
No I haven’t tried that, I’ve got some gel coming that I ordered online, so I’ll try that and see what happens, if it doesn’t work I’ll get Eurex, thank you for telling me about it lovely lady ❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn, so sorry about all the trouble with the burst pipe 😕 nightmare! hope things go more smoothly this week for you and Harvey. I'm behind with everything so I'm enjoying catching up now. Yum! mince and dumplings and jam Roly poly, definitely the weather for comfort food. Santa will be here before we know it the days are going by so fast. Take care lovely xx😍
Good evening Cher, oh it’ll be fine, we’ll soon be sorted out. Oh I can’t believe how fast the days are going, I’ve just been to my hubbys, cousins, grandsons 1st birthday, and I just do not know where this last year has gone, we all said the same, time needs to slowwww downnnnn please lol ❤️
Gee that was good, in Oz if our surage or main outlet pipes are causing a problem, we call the water company, bcz that's their pipes, they come out and fix them, no charge, but of course we pay water rates quarterly, so I guess their is a charge, but something like yr problem could cost $2000. Or more, I hope it gets resolved soon, and aleatory you save £4. That will help, can't wait for yr next installment
Hi Rita, we called the water company and they said they aren’t responsible, all the details of what happened are in a video I’ll be uploading once the work on the front has been completed. It’s cost quite a lot up to now, and we aren’t finished yet, but that £4 will help like you say 😂😂😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it lovely lady ❤️
Hi Lynn regarding your face you can buy a tube of hydrocortisone ointment from Boots it’s what I was prescribed from my skin specialist for my eczema on my face. Hope you are well otherwise.
Ah really, thank you for that, well I’m taking the anti histamine tablets, putting tea tree gel on, so if that doesn’t work I’ll be over to boots for sure ❤️
Another great catch up despite the leak. I’ve had a rough week myself, had abdominal surgery Wednesday and it’s been quite painful but on the up now I think. Keep up the good work x
Oh no Hazel, I hope your feeling back to normal soon, you need rest my lovely ❤️
Your hair is so pretty Lynn! Yes I’ve ironed my hair. Anything to get it straight!
It was quite the thing when I was a teenager to iron your hair, and to put soap on the inside of your jeans to iron the crease in hahaha ❤️
@@Nanna-M I haven’t heard of that. I used to roll my hair at night on metal juice tins. Then try to sleep with those things in my hair! Oh to be young and dumb again! The things we did to look pretty!
Aww Lynn i hope everything gets sorted for you both soon with the burst pipe , hope Harvey had a good bday and enjoyed his gin x
Thank you Nicola, we’re not far off now, and yes he enjoyed his gin thanks ❤️❤️❤️
aww Lynn poor Harvey will need that gin after all that and his birthday as well, Mince and dumplings my favourite this time of year, looking forward to the jam roly poly video
Hi Julien, yes he will haha, and mince and onion is one of his favourite teas. jam roly poly and custard yummmm ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed your vlog Lynn. Sorry to hear about the leak, these things certainly try us x
Oh they definitely do Janet ❤️❤️❤️
It would have been to see your dumplings puffed up 😂 but bet it was delicious. Rotten luck with the leak, i hope it gets sorted quickly Lynn. Look fwd to your next haul and your jam roly poly. Bet all the staff in Tesco know you now! Xx
I love a dumpling Jean…we’re nearly sorted now with the burst, it’s not far off ready for the tarmac thank god ❤️❤️❤️
Oh no, i want some jam roly poly with custard now haha. Glad the water leak was found without too much destruction.
Oh there was more than you think Gina, I’ll be showing it on a future video, anyway we’re on the right side of it now, so it’ll soon look nice and tidy ❤️❤️❤️
Oh and the roly poly was delicious 🥰
Lovely vlog all kinds of everything.Glad youve managed to find the leak, but poor Harvey, never mind onwards and upwards fo tge both of you xx
We’re on the right side of it now June, we’ll be fine and hopefully nice and tidy soon ❤️
That was a very interesting video and my word that is a strong flow under your front garden its almost a water feature!! Hope it gets sorted soon,such a shame after all that hard work..Harvey deserves his G&T.'s
I grew my hair colour out in lock down too its now ""platinum blonde" the colour I always wanted it 🤣
Thank you Dolly, yes it had washed away the soil/clay and made a big hole, anyway we’re nearly back to where it was before, so hopefully it’ll be tidy soon ❤️ oh lovely, blonde is a nice colour to be ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry you are having a problem with a leak hope you find it soon and if your rash on your face doesn't clear up soon go and see your doctor sending lots of love.😊♥️xx
Thank you Nicole, and I will do ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne I sometimes put mixed herbs into dumpling mix for a change .x
Yes I think a few people do, but aren’t they just the best comfort food ❤️❤️❤️
Great video I really like the colour of your hair really suits you what colour was it before you decided go grey
Hi Sue, my natural colour was very dark brown, bordering on black, but as I got older I used to have streaks in it, and before I went natural grey, it was nearly all blonde streaked with grey….best thing I ever did letting it grow out ❤️❤️❤️
Love your hair Lynn beautiful take 😍
Aw thank you Yvonne ❤️
Hi Lynn, Oh what a shame, we look forward to things happening and when they don’t for whatever reason, its so disappointing. Poor Harvey he must be beside himself, on his birthday as well 🎉. Wow that is some leak. Hopefully next week will be whole lot better for you and Harvey. Have a great weekend, take care xx
Hi Tina, I know, so disappointing, but we’re nearly sorted now, ready for the base coat again, just waiting for them to let us know when they can come and do it. Poor Harvey’s shattered, it’s heavy work, and in the rain too. Yes this next week will be so much better, no need to rush and push. I hope you enjoy your weekend Tina ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn . How awful for you . Hope you can get it sorted soon . 🤞.
Thank you Jennifer, we’re nearly back to where we were before the burst, it’ll soon be nice an tidy again ❤️❤️
I have to say Lynn you’re very calm considering the horrendous water problem you and Harvey are facing…….I would be stressed to the hilt🫣. I live in an old cottage and always worry about burst pipes etc……I hope it all gets sorted for you soon. I do love a good stew and dumplings especially now the weather has changed……as a child we always had our dumplings first (like a starter I suppose) then the stew and veg…..on Sundays we had our Yorkshire pudding first too and then the meat and veg……my mums Yorkshire pudding was the best😋
Oh I’m generally a very calm person Bethany, and we’re nearly back to where we were before we realised we had a burst. This is the thing with old property, the joys of living in one. Well I’ve never heard of having your dumplings or Yorkshire puddings first, very interesting. Don’t you just love your mums cooking, mine wasn’t the best really, but my grandmas cooking, and baking was to die for 😋❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M I’m pleased things are getting sorted……👍🥰
Hi Lynn not good about that leak, gosh having it all ready then having to dig it all up. I do feel sorry for you and Harvey. Wish him a happy birthday from me. You really do have such a positive attitude it's just lovely. What a good buy at Tesco ending up with what you wanted and saved money, win win. Thanks Lynn enjoyed your video ❤❤
Hi Marilyn, oh it’s been quite a week really, but we found it, replaced it, got it tidied up, and woo woo the tarmac people have just rang to say they’re coming tomorrow to put the base down yeaaaaa, I’m so excited, honestly how can someone get excited about tarmac, I need to give my head a wobble haha 😂❤️❤️
Hi Lynn sorry for your poor hubby and hope he finds the leak soon loved the video ❤x
We’ve found it Morag, it’ll all be in the other video, what a week phew ❤️❤️❤️
We pot people in the US are at a loss, I don’t know what mincemeat or suet are. I can guess what your dish is like based on ingredients I think are similar. Looks good.
Aw Billy, I didn’t think of that, minced meat is what you call ground beef I think, and I don’t think you can get suet in the US, it’s a fat, like bed fat ❤️❤️❤️
For suet in America If you ask your butcher for kidney fat, hopefully he will know what that is and mince is ground beef .
What a nightmare Lynn. It’s something you just don’t need.
Take consolation in my week….woke up with blindness in third of right eye….7 hours in A and E….inflammation on optic nerve….long story short…on 12 steroids plus 4 other tablets to try to get inflammation down…on top of this had infection in front implanted tooth…antibiotics….all implant got to be removed and 2 perfect teeth filed down for bridgework….absolutely devastated….cost over £4000.00 …
Hope your front sorted now. X great video
OMG Jacquline, that makes my drama seem like nothing at all, I’m so sorry you’ve had all that to deal with, really I am, our eyes are precious, has the sight returned yet, and there’s nothing worse than infections and abscesses under your teeth, I can fair feel your pain, I have implants, and they’re so expensive, bless you….I hope things improve for you sweet lady ❤️
@@Nanna-M not returned yet Lynn but seeing neurosurgeon next week may shed light on the problem. Thanks for you kind thoughts. I'm lucky like you insofar as having a good husband x
OMG Lynn what a mess with the busted pipe!! So glad y'all finally find it though. We had a busted pipe underneath the slab of the house about 3 years ago. There was no way to get to ours without tearing up the foundation of the house as we do not have basements where I live because where we live, it's below sea level. So they had to re route a whole new pipe system on the outside of the house. It was lovely seeing you again, and the meal you fixed sure looked good. We love chicken and dumplings here. Now a days though with it being just hubby and I we keep our meals very simple and easy. Happy birthday to your husband. Hope he enjoyed it, in spite of the mess in your yard. Hope your face irritation clears up soon. Is it eczema? I would get that from time to time on my eyelids. It would get so red, itchy and flakey. It does drive you crazy, I know. Have a lovely rest of the day.♥🚰🎂🫖
Oh no, did you, it sounds like what’s been going on here, it’ll all be in the video I was making about the new driveway. Mmmm chicken and dumplings, love it, and I like to add barley sometimes, but I didn’t have any in. I love good old hearty meals, reminds me of my granny ❤️❤️❤️
I hear you on that one. Couldn't walk into my grandmother's house without eating something before I left. Grandparents love to feed their family. It really was their favorite way of showing their love for us.@@Nanna-M ♥
Hiya Lynn, wow, that water burst looks quite serious, did you contact the water board, just to find out if they knew if any bursts anywhere. Hope, it gets sorted soon. The itchy skin problem could be dermatitis, I have it on my elbows and it drives me daft, I use hydrocortisone cream. It helps, hope you're better in health than temper....re leak..tfs love ❤x
The burst was under our flags, and it was a lead pipe, it’s been a nightmare but we’re getting there now thank god ❤️❤️❤️ if I can’t sort it I’ll ring the gp, lots of love ❤️
Hi twinnie, twinnie karen here 😂 oh Lynn, you poor thing. I've just watched your vlog, and I really do sympathise with you and Harvey. We had just finished decorating our whole house from top to bottom which had taken us 3 years, and then yes, you guessed it, we had a leak in our en-suite bathroom, which was coming through our brand new kitchen ceiling. We had to have a massive hole cut in the ceiling which lead to all the spot lights and electrics being ruined we was then told that if the leak couldn't be found via the ceiling hole we would have to take all the en-suite wall tiles and floor tiles off and take the toilet out as well. ( Lynn, i was having kittens) Luckily, days later, the leak was found, so I really do feel for you both. Let's hope this all gets sorted soon so you can continue with your drive. Good luck Lynn, send my regards to Harvey too! Sending love! ❤ X
Hey there twinnie, we’ll at least mine was outside, much worse when it’s inside, and especially when you’ve just finished decorating… poor you Karen, I really sympathise with you for having to deal with all that. We’re nearly back to where we were before we realised we had it leak, except for all the flags that we have directly at the front of the house, they all need laying back, and pointing. It’s a biggish job, but we’ll do it. I suppose it makes for an interesting video though, hahaha always look on the bright side, glass half full and all that ❤️❤️
Yes, Lynn, I totally agree. We must rise above all these problems as if you don't the stress of it all will make you ill. I am looking forward to seeing the vlog, but only now that you're back on track. Take it easy, twinnie, don't work too hard, small strides with plenty of rest in between. Take good care.🤞🙂 X❤
Hi Lynn what a mess but you'll hopefully get it sorted soon I hope. Oh mince onion doughballs mince & veg, one of my favourite dinners. Hope Harvey enjoyed a few gins Happy belated birthday Harvey. Love & hugs ❤
We call them doughballs in Bonnie Scotland. And yes I remember ironing my hair on ironing table with brown paper
Thank you Nancy, and yes he had a couple of gins, and we went for an Indian meal with the family, so he enjoyed that. Love right back at ya Nancy ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne sorry your week has been so stressful ive only got a leaking tap and i,m stressed hope your not on a water meter.❤😊
We are on a meter, but the burst is before it gets to it, thank goodness, we’re nearly sorted now thank you ❤️
I have sensitive skin and use Tea Tree Oil Gel, £1 per tube from Savers, don't know if anyone else sells it. It's amazing for everything and doesn't dry the skin out. Give it a try. Can't believe I've only discovered it this year, it's given me back my confidence ❤. Hope all working out with the water situation. Such a shame but good job you noticed it before tarmac/resin went down. Keep well x
Oh thank you Linda, I’ll Google that and see if I can buy online. Yes we’re getting there now, thank goodness… ❤️
@@Nanna-M Savers is online. I've always had to look after my skin and can't believe pharmacists and magazines don't promote this miracle gel. My granddaughter kept itching her leg, I put the gel on it stopped immediately. She couldn't believe it. It's very gentle but works. Sure this is going to be your answer. I have one next to me at night. If I'm tempted to scratch skin I put this on and everything calms down. Keep well and warm❤️
@@lindajones9624 I’ve ordered it Linda, and paid for faster delivery so hopefully it’ll arrive early next week and I can start to use it, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M I wasn't sure about telling you. Brian said it's made such a difference to my life that I had to, bless him. It really is amazing, I have everything crossed for you ❤️
@@lindajones9624 oh I can’t wait for it to arrive Linda, tell Brian thank you from me, I’ll let you know how I go on ❤️❤️❤️
Oh lynn i love your videos,sorry your dealing with the burst pipe,i be stressed to death too,you made me laugh when you said you saved yourself 4 pounds on the jumper,my kind of thinking that😂,lucky tommy having some of your lovely jam roly poly,yumm,cant wait to see your next video,bye lynn and take care xx😊
Hi Shirley, oh we’re ok, not far off getting it back to ready for the tarmac now. Haha, we’ll that’s how I see it, same as you lol….thank you my lovely, and you take care too ❤️
@@Nanna-M ❤️
💜
❤️🌹❤️
I enjoyed the video Lynn😀
Thank you Rosemary ❤️
❤
Thank you ❤️
Hi Lynn. Oh dear, horrible isn't it how 1 job turns into a job and a half. Poor Harvey. Love how much money you saved on your 2 trips to Tesco😂😂
Oh it seems to be a regular thing here at home, always bigger than expected, it’s a good job Harvey can do most things. Oh I’m very good at saving money hahaha ❤️
Hi Lynne, always nice to see you🤗 happy belated birthday to Harvey 🎉
Thank you, I will tell him, he’s gone down the pub bless him lol
Hi Lynn sorry to hear about the leak, that was quite big, wonder how long that's been going, hope you get it sorted ok. Had to laugh when you were talking about saving £4. at Tesco. I think we all knew what was coming. You are so funny. Look forward to your shopping haul to find out what the mystery item is bye.....
Yes Jovilass, it was a big one, don’t do things by halves here lol 😂. I know, you’re all getting to know me now aren’t you 😂 The what I couldn’t tell you video should be going up on Wednesday 🤞❤️❤️❤️
Lynn firstly. Can you believe the price of Atora now. Shocking Secondly what a mess the leaks made. You both must be gutted. We had one but luckily it was in the street just outside our garden. It was so bad it lifted the kerb and flooded part of our garden As it wasn’t on our property the council had to repair it OMG. Lynn you need an escort when you go shopping. Either that or you shop where there’s no clothing. On second thoughts you did make a space in your wardrobe 😂😂😂😂
Hi Pauline, I can’t believe the price of lots of things to be honest. Oh my word, water can cause so much damage, and United utilities came to look at it, couldn’t come till Wednesday, so we had to sort it ourselves, [and they said they’re not liable for the main, even though it was lead, they’re only responsible for the pipes up to the main stop tap, which is in the middle of the farmers field
So you can imagine I’m sure. Anyway it’s nearly sorted now so alls fine. I need an alarm to go off when I get near the clothes, and it should shout “ step away from the clothes “ and keep repeating till I do hahaha 🤣
Water bursts are horrible but don't worry it's only water Harvey will work his magic....all will be well. Excuse the pun dorotjy
Oh I’m not worried Dorothy, I know Harvey will sort it, he always does, it’s just a lot of hard work for him that he didn’t need, and all in the rain as well, but it’ll be nice when finished ❤️
Wouldn’t your local Council have the plans where pipes have been laid ? Just a thought.
Hi Frances, no they don’t, we asked, but the pies are that old that they have no records, we’re nearly all sorted now, so hopefully we’ll be all clean and tidy by the end of next week ❤️❤️
It's sounds like not a good week for you , hope you solve the water problem . I had to laugh with hair and ironing board I had news paper, I use to do that in my teenage years hahaha .❤️🦘
Thank you Katie, when you think of the things we used to do, oh I my goodness, it’s a wonder I have any hair left lol 😂❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M Hahahahaha. ❤️
