Hi Paula when workmen come to do jobs in my house I save up a big pile of ironing and I iron until they’ve finished the job however long it takes ! This makes me feel that they aren’t thinking I’m lazy and also it distracts me from them as I am very uncomfortable with workmen in the house, because of me not them, just the way I feel, and yes I do make them a tea or coffee and then concentrate on the ironing. It also relaxes them as I’m not staring at them while they work. Megs blanket is lovely and how nice it must be to have a daughter learning your skills. I have boys. Love your whole family including the animals. 💕💕
Just love your vlogs. Thank you so much for making them. Not boring, just lovely. I love your chatting with all of furry friends. Just makes my heart happy 😊 Thanks so much Annie
Well lovely Meg is a “ chip off the old block” definitely! That blanket looks so good and beautifully made. Well done Meg! Thank you James for clarifying the workman in the house dilemma! I usually do ironing in the other room- unless the electricity has to go off! X
Megs blanket is brilliant! I love seeing all your dresses, they are so pretty. My husband goes in people's houses and his favourite bit is meeting everyone's dogs ♡
I'm afraid I've got to supervise any workman in my flat😂 I've got to make sure they are doing a good job😂. Megs blanket is so nice, her squares are so even! Much love ❤
Ha, ha…but the workmen are hopefully busy focusing on there task , and not looking at what you are doing 😄, I would just do what I would normally do , as they work on somethings that I wouldn’t know anything about , that’s why they are hired to do the job 😄. Meg is talented , that’s a fine blanket she’s working on , how cozy it is you can sit and enjoy crocheting together 🤗 the little babydoll is so cute 🥰
Hi Paula, I have been binge watching your channel and love it! I do see that you have trouble knitting dark wool unless it is in the day time. I would like to suggest an OTT light bulb it is a daylight bulb and is sold on Amazon and in America in all the sewing stores. It is a game changer! I have mine on a goose neck lamp and can pull it close to my work or push it higher to read with. Hope this is helpful. Thank you for entertaining us.
I always go out when work people come to the house… I go out even when I’ve got nowhere to go, just to avoid the awkwardness 😂 I loved ‘wicked little letters’ too. X
great job Meg... I love the rain too..not raining here in my part of Canada though... Maybe tomorrow.... absolutely love your channel.. you make me smile. I sit and read when someone is in my house for a repair
Meg's blanket is so good. Clever girl. James advice was really good. I always feel very awkward whenever I have men in the house so it was good to hear what he likes customers to do. xx
Hi Paula. Tell Meg her blanket is gorgeous, bet she's chuffed with it. My husband has been enjoying your vlogs too. Each evening he asks, will Mrs D post a vlog tonight and I say, probably 😊. We also like to guess how many bottles of James' drink will be behind you. Sometimes 3, sometimes 4! ❤
Love little Minnie. Oh Meg , great work. I love it. How well you have done and being a new crocheter as well.Would love to keep seeing updates on it. Hope little Gary gets over his ills. I dread workmen also - I feel so self conscious and unsafe as well. I keep a pair of scissors in my pocket and keep myself in a place where I would have an easy escape. I try to have my Husband home to deal with them. lol !
Oohh Meg's blanket is coming on very nicely. Look forward to seeing it completed. I set an alarm yesterday at 17.55 and refreshed Kofi like a lunatic and was ecstatic to grab one of your gorgeous cat bags. FOMO is real here 😂. When he arrives DAN will be my Halloween project bag 🐈⬛. Kx
Our furry family members give us so many stories. We had a golden retriever that ate all sorts of things … I was crafting with nits in the shell and left a 4 litre bucket full of them on the floor. He ate the whole bucket!!! We cleaned up from him over the next week and thought all was fine. 3 months later he threw up a walnut whole 3 different times. Took him to the vet and they could grab objects in his stomach and knock them together (audibly to us). He earned a surgery. They took out 3 more walnuts, 2 rocks larger than the walnuts and a giant chunk of rubber. 😬 The silly beautiful boy lived to 14 . I was that most obnoxious child that talked to workmen non stop and asked to pass them their tools. I try so hard not to be that adult, but am not too sure I always succeed.😂 After listening to you I think I have a new tactic. Offer a drink (not a norm in Canada) then say “I’m an annoying awkward type so I am just going to ….. and pretend I’m busy. Just shout when you need me or are done.” At most they may laugh at me and I’m good with that. Thanks for vlgtember Paula.😊
I usually just offer refreshments then go back to my sewing room/office and say yell out if you need anything and leave them to their work but I can’t relax properly.
Well done with the blanket Meg, you are taking after your clever Mum! Got my cat bag Paula, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Nice to see Pauline again, looks like shes had some cosmetic surgery done 😂 xx
I had a man come this week to replace a leaking toilet. He is my mom's pastor at church. He brought his 3 sons 8, 6, 4. So I entertained them while he worked. It makes me nervous also. 😂
Love the Minecraft pig blanket...adore pigs whatever shape or form....I usually hide upstairs if strangers call to the house.. can't bear it !! I leave my husband to deal with them..☘️🐷
Yes it's normal to feel that way because someone is going around your home. I always check the work after the workman has finished but he is there while I check and I ask questions. I don't follow or watch people at work they come looking for me.
That blanket is brilliant Meg. It took me a while to get my eye in with Minecraft but both my grandchildren play it so I got your blanket straightaway, well done! I have heard you mention your friend Peter recently Paula, hope he’s ok. Take care xx
💐 Hi Paula, I love your visit as usual 😊. I agree that it makes you nervous and unsure of what to do when a workman comes. I would think that in good weather you go outside and tell him where to find you when he’s finished. If the weather doesn’t permit, go into another room, do a hand project, and tell him where to find you when he’s finished. I was a housekeeper for over 20 years for 2 extremely wealthy men at different times. I was always trying to judge how and where to be so as not to intrude on their privacy in their own home. I believe that you have to judge how you would react and feel if you were the one on the other end. You did well 😊! Meg’s crochet is beautiful! Is that cotton thread or synthetic? I just love to see that little Ian!!! I have a female “Ian”! She’s 3 years old and appeared in our back yard at 9 weeks old. I am in love with her, she’s very very special!!! She gives me much joy😁🩷🌷. Love love love to see Ian push that bell with that precious baby hand!🌷👍👏🌸😻🐶🥰
Meg is doing a great job with her crochet, her blocks are looking very uniform and I looked up the Minecraft pig and hers is looking fabulous. Enjoy your roast dinner now your oven is fixed xx
The lady in the little wool shop in the corn exchange in Leeds says she sells tons of style craft special to students, it makes me happy to know that the skills of knitting and crochet are still popular xx
What a delight to see James again…I’ve always wondered what the tradesman would prefer too! Mini is definitely NOT a Disney Baby (which were baby versions of the cartoon characters). She’s far too classy for that. No rivalling Pauline though - she knocks classy right out of the park 😂
Years ago the milkman came to the door in the days before paying on line I asked the him to step into the house while I rummaged around for my purse. I wondered why he was looking quite alarmed then I noticed the hugest rat laying dead on my rug. It was one of the lovely gifts my cat brought in for me.I was totally mortified and didn’t know what to do or say and I just said excuse the rat and gave him the money I was so embarrassed. I left the money in an envelope from then on .When we have men working in the house I really don’t know how to behave I often look busy cleaning or I hide in the house somewhere but nothing can ever be as bad as the rat incident.
Do you mean a chat with James and a chat with Meggs Blanket, separately?!😅😊 The fabric you’ve bought is very nice, I wonder where you buy it.You’re gonna make wonders out of it, probably !
Can I ask you Paula...do you still see your friend Peter for a coffee and a chat each week...you haven't mentioned him for a while and I am wondering if he is ok? (Isn't it a bit weird how we 'viewers' are so interested in the minutia of your life! !LOL)
Hi Paula I know what you mean about people working in your house terrible I can not stand it x Meg your blanket is amazing I can not believe your new to crochet it’s so neat xx
I’m terrible if there’s someone here working! I’m too nervous to leave the house…I always say to my husband, “what if he’s a weirdo and touches my bras?!” I usually have bras hanging in my closet that I’ve put there to air if I’ve only worn it once and for some reason that’s what my mind stuck on 😂…what if this stranger goes to my closet and touches them?! Now it’s just “What if he’s a bra-toucher?!” for short. 😂
When the boiler man comes, I offer a drink and leave the room, if he needs anything he’ll call me. I don’t think anyone thinks you’re lazy Paula and any way, who cares 🙄

Meg’s blanket is looking so good. Thank James for sharing what he prefers customers in their homes do. I too never know what to do.
What a lovely hat and jumper Pauline!
Megs blanket is brilliant!

Meg’s blanket is fab, and it was lovely to see Pauline looking so well 😂😂
😄
Love the blanket. Thank you for asking James what we should do!! I usually try to sound busy in another room!! Always glad when they have gone though!

Good to see Pauline again 😂

Oh my God, when the boiler man comes I stay and chat 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I do offer him a cuppa first though but now I’m gonna worry if he says no 😬 xx

I watched Wicked Little Letters last night. I absolutely loved it.
I watched it for the first time at the cinema on my own…….laughed out loud..hilarious film 😂

Paula…I always take book and sit in the other room when workpeople are here. I hate it too tho!
Thanks for the videos🤗

Megs blanket is beautiful she's done great well done❤ I got a cat bag I'm so happy Diego is going to a good home 😁 Have a lovely evening xx
I also hate having workpeople in the house. We have some building work starting in our attic bedroom next week and I’m dreading it. 😬

I was wondering about Pauline too...I thought perhaps she'd gone to have her vocal chords sorted out...
What a delight to see James again…I’ve always wondered what the tradesman would prefer too! Mini is definitely NOT a Disney Baby (which were baby versions of the cartoon characters). She’s far too classy for that. No rivalling Pauline though - she knocks classy right out of the park 😂

Hello Paula I hope your new baby hasn’t made Pauline jealous 😊
Will you do any more yarn shows? Do you like to attend any?
❤❤❤
I’m like you. I won’t have boiler men etc come unless my husband is here. So i can hide 🙈😂😂
Oh what does James do?
I've never noticed James tattoos before - what does he have on his arm?
Has James been training Ian to sit in front of him 😁😃😄
Went out in my garden to tread a a bird pooped on my book as I was reading!🤮
I’m terrible if there’s someone here working! I’m too nervous to leave the house…I always say to my husband, “what if he’s a weirdo and touches my bras?!” I usually have bras hanging in my closet that I’ve put there to air if I’ve only worn it once and for some reason that’s what my mind stuck on 😂…what if this stranger goes to my closet and touches them?!
