Loving Vlogtober from you. My little calming treat when I get into bed and can finally leave any hassles of the day behind. So enjoy catching up with all of you ☺️💚
I commend you for taking a "self-care" day. You deserve it! It made me stop and think, "I need to do that. Why don't I do that?" Thank you for reminding us all how important it is!
I love your vlogtober content. The cooking, crafting, and reading all feel so cozy. I do fresh sheet Friday and always love climbing into bed Friday night. A self care day without a bra should happen as much as possible!
Create Nostalgia is about 20 miles from where I live, it is a lovely little shop with lots of beautiful threads fabrics and patterns, Mary the owner is very friendly and helpful, your pumpkin cross stitch is looking good. Really enjoying your vlogs, thank you x x😊
Love catching up with you and your family. My mother used to sing the song that your mother sang on the last vlog. She had an Irish grandmother who had passed it down. We thought it was Irish 🤭😄 Love from NZ 🇳🇿 🥰
Hi Ali, thanks fot answering my question, i am sitting in the car outside starbucks having a tasty treat and coffee and my specialist appointment, I have crohns and the leaves are falling, watching you, i think Gayna calls these glimmers ❤❤❤
Your vlogtober podcasts are making an otherwise dreary October so much brighter and bearable. I am not a winter person and it’s getting cold here now which is good for knits but not so much for my mood. Quick question: what EarPods do you use? I want to start listening to audiobooks and need to buy some. Thanks so much for doing vlogtober! 😄
I'm not doing a walking challenge but we don't have a car in our family so just my normal walking has got me to 716 miles so far this year, my husband is close to 900 I think. I had a self care day a couple of weeks ago after some health issues and stress at work and it was so beneficial for my physical and mental health, might have another one just before the crazy Christmas period starts 😅 I love how throughout the day you kept getting distracted from self-care by little things that needed to be done, I'm like that. I've got some mending that needs to be done tonight, apparently H&M don't know how to make a hoodie where the pockets don't rip at the corners 🙄 it's for my little one so I might give him a cute visible mend.
I view the 1000 miles challenge as a book challenge. I would reset it at the end of the year regardless if I hit the mark or not, just so I can compare how did I manage in the new year. Btw I have also started the challenge in September, though I might just start over in January for a fresh start.
You should try St Andrews Lake Watersports Centre - it's in Kent Nr Rochester/Snodland. They do night time paddle board events - think they have a halloween event coming up soon
Looked like a lovely day for you! I love getting into bed with fresh sheets and duvet. It’s so cozy. Hope you guys get your paddle boarding in. I had been wondering about it as well
I just live a hour from New Albany, Ohio. A pretty area. I give myself one "Me" day a week. I love it! I hope you give yourself more self care days to!
Enjoying a slice of your family life Aly, thank you. I know there is nothing like Bras-off-o’clock after a day at work. Have you discovered the decadent joy of an afternoon bath yet? Man, the ultimate in self care! Hubby has developed a bath routine which involves, candles( LED) a colour changing moon, and spa music playing from our digital friend. That with the bergamot bath oil and his waterproof kindle he is totally relaxed!
Hello Ali, I’m enjoying your october vlogs so much, thank you! I have a question : just like me you are always knitting socks. My sockdrawer is full but that doesn’t stop me. Maybe you can show us all your knitted socks ? You must have a lot, where do you keep them? Thanks for answering 😀!
Me and you are in the same boat, but I was beating myself up for not doing my usual work. Thank you for posting this! I'm watching this while taking a very slow walk on the treadmill, luv u much Ali! 💖
Love your vlogtobers Ali. Self care days should be a thing for us busy women😁 I used to live in Halesowen many years go! For some reason I thought your sis and mum all lived close to one another. Agree nothing like getting into clean sheets and clean PJ’s😁 x
I completely understand that postal logic Ali (I’m Irish so that helps 😂). My White Stuff duvet cover is too big for the duvet too. I love, love, love my dehumidifier. Thanks for a lovely vlog. Xx
Just as an aside, our tumble dryer has broken many, many times, and we have watched TH-cam videos on how to fix it and ordered a $20 kit from Amazon and fixed it ourselves. 😉
I am looking forward to next Monday too. I'm feeling burnt out with work, body illness and I want a comfy day in jammies while crochetting for me and I have leave next week. I cannot wait. Needing to really unwind not had a week off since June. I am wiped.
I am loving watching you vlogtober as ever and wanted to give you a tip re hand dyed threads. Hand dyed threads are usually stitched in one of two ways depending upon the effect you want. You can either stitch each x individually or go along a row //// and then back \\\. The first will give a denser colour change whereas the second way is more gradual. The way you are stitching is using more thread and may be why you ran out. Hope this helps x
I have been watching your vlogs for years and always enjoy them. Lovely family. Thank you for the dehumidifier tip. I have suffered with sinus blocked nose for years. Hopefully this will help. How long do you have it on and what times etc? Thank you! x
i almost spit my tea when you said you're not feeling anyone named Doris xD A selfcare day, cringy? oh not at all. Actually sounds really nice. I started reading Miranda's book today (after binge re watching her sitcom this past weekend and crying like a baby with the ending). I hope the book is good, sounds promising so far. Before that I read 'The third Gilmore Girl', by Kelly Bishop. I breezed through that one. What a life! Re Strictly, I'm also a huge fan of Chris and Sarah. He's brilliant, and hilarious (I don't always get all his jokes straight away because of his accent and me not being a native speaker, and the bbc iplayer subtitles are a bit rubbish and delayed xD). Half of Vlogtober: DONE! wow! xx
Makes perfect sense not wanting to pay more for postage than the item price. I hate paying postage anytime. We have just ordered a few things from a garden centre sale, they do free delivery over £100. What we needed came to £99…soon solved it by finding a garden cushion costing £5 which I’d planned on getting in the summer anyway…win win!
Hi Ali the person that asked about you selling stickers commented on the same vlog I did. They asked if you ever considered selling stickers? I saw the comment and just added it to mine. Sorry for the confusion. I think everyone needs a 'me' day from time to time to do what they want be it catching up on friends, family, messages, knitting, sewing, crochet or other crafts. Or just sitting quietly reading a book. It's good for mental health to take time out now and again, life can get very hectic especially at this time of year. Anyway I hope you enjoyed your day off😃
Hi Ali, Enjoying Vlogtober very much. Please Ali if you do go paddleboarding, check the water quality of the Medway as recently it hasnt been that "healthy!!!?" Best wishes Chris from Kent
Glad you got some “me” time ,young lady.Very important.Let’s not flatter Dan too much or his ego will balloon.Back to the scullery, I say m’lady.He’s trying to ride on your coat tails.Don’t let him.Go well, dear heart.xx😉❤️👋🦘🐨🌏🙏xx
How can I enter my knit socks the Strictly sock-along? Do I need to enter photo(s)? I did open an instagram account but I have not the slightest idea how that works. ❤ your vlogtober vlogs
A comedian was telling a joke about his wife who freaked because she had to open the door to the delivery driver when she wasn’t wearing a bra. He was saying things like, ‘did she think the bloke was going to say ‘lift your top up love while I take a photo 😅

Ali, I’ve just finished, and enjoyed, listening to the book, “Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel.” Can’t remember if you recommended it? Or, I may have just run across it on my library cloud… I think you’d like it. 🌻🧶🍁☺️

even if you don't get to the full 100 miles, you should be really proud of what you've achieved with walking this year!

Nothing like a good self care day. And I adore clean sheets & fresh pajamas nights.

Thank you for the dehumidifier info. I’ve ordered one. Looking forward to a “drier” home.

Your personal care day was exhausting! You need another day😊!
There really is nothing better than an early night with a book and clean sheets 😊 Ali, are you checking the Kindle daily deals?
I'm having a self care day to, I'm working on my linen stitch blanket.
Ali if you sew your buttons with double thread it takes half the time! Love how you still do things even if you are meant to self care.
You are always very busy so it was lovely to see you having a me day 😊
I just live a hour from New Albany, Ohio. A pretty area. I give myself one "Me" day a week. I love it! I hope you give yourself more self care days to!
Good for you. We all need that day or days.
No bra days are wonderful and they should happen more often! Enjoy your self care day!
Ali have you tried Bird and Blends Bonfire Toffee Tea ? If not I think you will like it as it has that Smokey flavour like lapsang souchong tea . X
Enjoying a slice of your family life Aly, thank you.

Can you tell me who makes that adorable cross stitch kit? Or where you purchased it?

Does Dan still make your sides hurt? laughter is the food of love and I bet you he does! #DanFan

That's so strange...I live very close to the city listed for The Gentle Art in Ohio...small world!
Kate at the last homely house does a very delicious carrot apple & cashew one of my go to when needing light nourishing cosy
Self care for me is taking care of my future self, so putting on clean bedding definitely applies. 😊
I think the little bag from Jo may glow in the dark!!! :D x
What about the potatoes neither you nor Granny bought?😂 18:25

You go girl , we all have to have days to do whatever we want 😊❤
Just as an aside, our tumble dryer has broken many, many times, and we have watched TH-cam videos on how to fix it and ordered a $20 kit from Amazon and fixed it ourselves.

“Somebody’s ordered something from John Lewis, they seem to be doing OK” 😂😂😂 hope you enjoyed your semi restful day ❤ Love & Hugs, Suze. 🎃🍁🤗 xxx

Not cringy at all.........essential. Honor yourself. You must❤.

A whole day of bra-less safe care sounds absolutely perfect! After your busy life, you needed that! XX
❤❤a great day,,,need that,,,

Restart in January and challenge yourself to beat your last year's miles and see what month you do it in
Why on earth would a "self-care day" sound cringey? It's essential ✨️
No bra days are wonderful! Loving vlogtober! Thank you.
I, too, sometimes celebrate certain days as “No Bra Days!”
How about calling your car Alice😀
A comedian was telling a joke about his wife who freaked because she had to open the door to the delivery driver when she wasn’t wearing a bra. He was saying things like, ‘did she think the bloke was going to say ‘lift your top up love while I take a photo 😅
Never wear my bra unless going out! Always have a scarf handy for answering the door so no embarrassing nippallage on show!
Self care are so important for everyone! No bra days should happen more often!

PLEASE let US KNOW HOW IS LILLIA DOING WITH HER STUDIES AND STUDENT HOUSING?
What a great treat having a “self care” day. 🤭🤣🤣 in your Jim jams with no bra on …….. just love it ❤
Quite possibly the best self care - a no bra day. Sending you hugs we all appreciate you must be missing Lillia and that must be so hard xx
You can do whatever you wish. And no bra day is a plus.
Hooray for a braless day!
Im with you No Bra day....yeah...we all need a no day for sure to re charge our batteries..
Well done I agree with no bra day, we shouldn’t need to wear one 😂😂
My sister says I should just abandon the bra and go without! I’m not sure I’m quite ready though 😅
Here’s to more mental health/bra free days Ali. It would have been hurkle durkling if you’d stayed in bed ❤️🌺
Lovely. Homey. Comforting. 🌻🧶🥰 🫖
Ali, I’ve just finished, and enjoyed, listening to the book, “Queenie Malone's Paradise Hotel.” Can’t remember if you recommended it? Or, I may have just run across it on my library cloud… I think you’d like it.
🌻🧶🍁☺️
