Health problems, pain, bereavement, financial struggles - you've dealt with them all, and are STILL the beautifully positive, uplifting and inspiring person that so many of us value and turn to.
Happy New Year Vivi, thank you so much for all the time and care you put into your videos, you support more of us than you will ever know. Keeping everything crossed for a smooth move ahead x
My 84th "Happy New Year" with a lot to be thankful for and one of those things is somehow running across your blogs several years back and enjoying them a lot. I come here less these days as I have so much that I must do each day. But, thankfully I can still paint for enjoyment and we walk our precious dog nearly every day. So glad to hear you are about to have your dream come true!
Happy New Year Vivi, personally I have been having a poo year health wise, sadly continuing into next with investigations and possible treatments but decided a few months ago to only try to control the things I can and try to live in the moment. Wishing you Vivi and all those on this lovely community a healthy and peaceful New Year filled with whatever brings you joy.😻❤️🙏
Oh I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling in this way. I so hope that investigations get to the bottom of things so that appropriate treatment can be given. Thinking of you, take care. X
I'm in a similar position..... try to take things a day at a time ... and concentrate on the cans rather than the can'ts.... good luck wishing you well for 2025.
Lol! Looking forward to seeing your marathon training!!!! 🤣O! I also loved Gavin and Stacey and the Festive Pottery Throwdown. The reason I wanted to retire early was to give myself time to do all the things that make me happy. And that's what I'm doing now! Thank you Vivi for being my inspiration these last few years. It was you who made me decide it WAS possible to live really well on not a lot of money and I worked towards it for years. Wishing you so much health and happiness in 2025 in your new home ❤ Ali xxx
Yay! Hahaha....since giving up the garden (and therefore not tripping up so much) I hardly say Oop la! But.....I have plans for using it in embroidery when I get the time. 😉
I saw a post suggesting each week put a note in a jar of something that's made me happy this week or something I've achieved this week. Then at end of year open jar and read them. Sounds good gole
Aw 😊 What an absolute joy to listen to you tonight 😊 - You helped to get me thinking on making a list too! - Like yourself I too have struggled with one thing or another for quite a while with grief taking president for the most part. If someone had to ask me “What makes you happy?” - I’d have been stumped. But Thankyou for reminding me that the answer doesn’t have to be so difficult and can be the simplest thing 🙂 - Spending time with my daughters and my 2 miniature dachshund girls, Brandi and Darci. Being out in the garden, learning as I go about flowers, growing from seed, taking pride in small success when I manage to keep them alive! 😅 - Cooking, baking, reading. Looking after my family and home. I don’t want for material things, fancy holidays, fancy cars…can’t take those with you 🤷♀️ - I like the simple life and I guess it’s about reminding ourselves of what we have and appreciating the good which in turn helps us with the difficult times. My party days are over and I’m ok with that and the idea of sleeping through the bells is a delightful thought. The idea of sleeping through the night lately no matter what date it is amazing but that’s the Big M’s fault 😂 (she whispered like we are in 1950) sigh - the not so joyous part of the steady female aging decline 😂 - Never mind…looking forward to seeing the light at the end of this tunnel before actually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel 🙈🤣 - Onwards and hopefully upwards in to 2025 with better days ahead. I’m raising my glass of water to you and wishing you as my late father would say “aw ra best” when it comes, to your good health and thank you for another brilliant year of being here in my living room 😊
Happy New Year! What you said at the end of the video really resonated with me. I too am on my own with no support or help. I've become really overwhelmed as of late and the stress led me to the ER with an arrhythmia. It really is exhausting, I enjoy being on my own but I am very much missing having a support system close by. I moved cross country 3 years ago and starting over somewhere I didn't know anyone has been extremely difficult. It seems harder these days with everyone living their lives online to try and build that community. I am lucky to have very nice neighbors but I really hope to be able to build some good friendships and build that community of support.
So much of what you say resonates deeply with me, and I appreciate the time you spend sharing, educating, and encouraging us! I wish you a happy, healthy, prosperous, and peaceful 2025!
All the very best for 2025 and keeping everything crossed for you with the move. Some ideas for a name for the new flat, Lavender Cottage (assuming you’ll at least have some in a pot), Lower Cottage, Little Garden Cottage or simply Happy Cottage as I just know it’s going to be the best thing ever. Sooo excited for you x x
Hi Vivi! Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to seeing "It" (your new place) when it happens. I started following you a few years ago when I was doing an extreme budget, and stayed for the gardening and chatting. Back in September, you inspired me to re-start my house hunting. I had pretty much given up because of prices and lack of available properties. It felt like kismet because I almost immediately found a perfect for me little house (530 square feet) with a yard I can turn into a garden. I'm in the US, so everything happened almost too quickly, and within 6 weeks I was moved in. Then I had to catch my breath and catch up on work (I set my own schedule and work online). I was in a little bit of shock after being a renter for 15 years, but I'm glad I did it. I've been dreaming of having my own garden for years. I wish you all the best with your plans and have been referring to your catalog of garden videos as I plan my new garden.
I am excited for your new home. As a former knee pain sufferer (both my knees have now been replaced) I am happy that you will be on one level!! Yes I do think the last so many years have been tough, I feel some relief on the horizon as I’ll be claiming early social security when I turn 62 this year and perhaps can let one of my jobs go. I have 3 part time jobs so I’m always juggling time and money (lack of money😬). I look forward to your new garden space and your creativity in making it pretty and productive!
Yes Vivi! Allow yourself to anticipate this change in life! A new to you nest to feather! A change in how you spend your days... it is exciting! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Vivi I’ve been with you since the beginning when I was going through a difficult time of my husband’s cancer battle the unfortunately his death, I love your channel and all you stand for. All the best in 2025 and your new exciting journey in you new home, can’t wait to follow it. Heather
Wishing you all the best for 2025! I will raise a glass of Baileys to you tonight and to all the single ladies succeeding in life on their own terms🥂 Cheers!🎉
"Oh" you do that so well ! We we're in Christchurch NZ early last year and they had an exhibition of the work being done by stone mason's to restore buildings damaged by the earthquake, many we're from the UK. Phenomenal work. Listening to you while in the garden and lucky to hear the sky larks too. Happy New Year 🎉
Just thought I'd add what I've discovered regarding my heating - maybe you do the same anyway. I was holding off all evening getting colder and colder and then allowing myself to turn it on for an hour about 8pm or 9pm. I've found that if I turn it on for an hour at 4pm or 5pm I don't suffer for hours and the heat pretty much holds until I get to bed (which has drifted to 3am right now lol). Also, I had visitors over Xmas so had the heating on more and we all agreed that 3 hours spread over the day seemed to be enough to keep us warm, so maybe you don't need 5-6 hours anyway even if you can afford it.
Happy new year Vivi and everyone here 💕✨ I don’t watch much, I really need to enjoy what I do watch. I don’t know any of the programs you watched over the Christmas period, but the Bill Bailey master class thing sounds very enjoyable. So thank you for sharing. I did a few new things last year, some paper quilling, made a terrarium and got into macrame. Looking forward to sharing your joy regarding ‘it’ when the times right 🏡 💖 As always, thank you for all the lovely videos, always a comfort to watch and comments section a lovely place to chat with kind folk 🫶😘
Have a beautiful New Year, Vivi! May the universe favor you, continue to be an optimistic light in the darkness and as you usually do - attract good people like a magnet! Cheers for new chapters! 🎉🎉🎉
Funny how you mention a couch to 5k. Bob talked me into running a half marathon this summer. I needed a goal, so I am all in. I have run a marathon and a half marathon in my past, but I am really out of shape right now! Happy New Year!!!! Looking forward to what 2025 has in store for us!!! XXX
Vivi, Thanks for all your creative work this year. It was entertaining and educational. Also, thanks for the introduction to Richard and Paul. They're highly entertaining. 😂
Happy New Year Vivi 🎉 Thank you for sharing your precious time with us. Your company has been of great comfort to me, particularly this past year. Looking forward to to sharing your next chapter with you, Katy.
Grandma's socks were a total Leg-end .... sorry couldn't resist....😂🤣 I have Swansea family and son did training at RAF St.Athan ..Aberystwyth UNI.. Cardiff was a regular stop off.... Gavin and Stacy... it's what it's like... I recognise all of those characters... good luck with what's occurin' in Vivi world....
Aww ❤ thank you for keeping me company 😘 Yay for new chapters ✨️ January 2023 was my new chapter moving to Leicester. I've not looked back. Not all been picnic and roses, but it's been nice to draw a line in the sand and walk away into something new. Wishing you all the best and every success in 2025. Xx😊
I need to cut back even more this year but find it hard to cut down on my food bill, as need to eat a very high fibre diet which tends to include lots of fruit, veg and salad. Carrots and bananas are very cost effective but everything else is SO pricey. I need to investigate alternatives though, as am spending way too much. I don't waste anything and cook from scratch so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!
You're not doing anything wrong.. like most of us , difficult times. Look out local food distribution groups.. Zero waste have schemes where food that would go to landfill is re- disributed..( not a food bank ) , perfectly edible food but short dates ... run by volunteers, all free. I have saved so much using their scheme.
I never plan or set goals. Never have. Haven't watched a soap since about 1997. All my viewing is pretty much old classic TV or films and of course your channel 😊 Really enjoyed the 1974 Swallows and Amazons the other day. Lovely film. X
Happy New Year Vivi - great videos always, that I enjoy watching. Handmade socks, naturally scented soap, veg seeds, nature, trees, Scottish landscapes and my collie, sewing, being with truly good friends …. and watching Gav & Stacey. All fabulous things. Best of luck with the big changes ahead this year Vivi x
Best wishes for some good news re the house move soon Vivi. We will all be with you, cheering you on, and I'm sure if we could, we would all be there helping you move. I don't particularly celebrate Jan 1st as New Year's Day - as far as I'm concerned every day is the start of a happy new year - and as for resolutions, well I take the same attitude to those. No matter what yesterday brought with it, today is a new start with a fresh, blank page in the diary.
Thank you for all your hard work, love all your videos. You always lift my day and you've helped me enormously with keeping on track with budgeting. Happy new year and good luck with the move xx
Another beautiful, helpful vlog. Just right for NYE, although I'm watching on new year's day, and KNOW it's going to comfort and inspire me on what tends to be a bleak day for me 🙏 You would be a FANTASTIC frugal, ethical life coach ❤!
Happy New Year, Vivi. I"m on my way to a wee gathering, so I'll watch the remainder of your video when I get home. Here's to a healthy New Year, and all the best in your new home. May it happen sooner rather than later.
Wishing you all the best for 2025, Vivi. Lots of exciting things to look forward to. Thank you for your You Tube content this year. I gave up making resolutions a long time ago. Instead, I set short term goals 🎉
Hi Vivi just watched today's Vlog, love how you made it positive slant in mentioning what makes us happy, so easy to forget and let those things slide, so will definetly be making my happy list goal plan and thanks for the meter reading tip. It feels like sat in a lovely friendly space when watching your vlogs, watched Richard & Paul and thought what fab people you all are, pleasure to watch and love the humour. I wish you every happiness and can't wait to see what 2025. Best wishes Angela
Happy new year! Love all those shows as well, but you're right, Outnumbered was very flat and a waste of time! Last year I made a list of crafts to try over this past year, I've tried mosaic, marble pour, resin art, macrame, needle felting, lino printing.. to name a few!! This coming year it will be refining those new skills which I enjoyed. Keep up the good work, I love listening to you whilst I'm drawing on an evening. Thank you for being you!
Health problems, pain, bereavement, financial struggles - you've dealt with them all, and are STILL the beautifully positive, uplifting and inspiring person that so many of us value and turn to.
Thank you lovely.
All the very best to you for 2025 Vivi. Thanks for continuing to share your life and wisdom, which so many of us value.
Happy New Year Vivi, thank you so much for all the time and care you put into your videos, you support more of us than you will ever know. Keeping everything crossed for a smooth move ahead x

It makes me sad to hear how alone you feel when difficulties arise.

I totally agree with you on this!

I'm so happy for you that your moving plan eventually came to fruition. 😊
I need to cut back even more this year but find it hard to cut down on my food bill, as need to eat a very high fibre diet which tends to include lots of fruit, veg and salad. Carrots and bananas are very cost effective but everything else is SO pricey.
I need to investigate alternatives though, as am spending way too much. I don't waste anything and cook from scratch so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!
I don't think you're doing anything wrong.....it's just after years and years are super cheap food it is starting to go up.
You're not doing anything wrong.. like most of us , difficult times. Look out local food distribution groups.. Zero waste have schemes where food that would go to landfill is re- disributed..( not a food bank ) , perfectly edible food but short dates ... run by volunteers, all free.

10:26 a.m. here. Love & blessings to you today and throughout 2025! 🌷
❤Happy New Year my dear❤️.
That ‘water’ looked exactly like vodka to me !!! 😂 ✌️❤️
Eeeeuw, heck no.....I loathe spirits.
Another beautiful, helpful vlog. Just right for NYE, although I'm watching on new year's day, and KNOW it's going to comfort and inspire me on what tends to be a bleak day for me 🙏
You would be a FANTASTIC frugal, ethical life coach ❤!
Awww, that's lovely, thank you. Have a good day. 😊

Wishing you all the best for 2025, Vivi. Lots of exciting things to look forward to. Thank you for your You Tube content this year. I gave up making resolutions a long time ago. Instead, I set short term goals 🎉
Yay, good on you. 😊
Hi Vivi just watched today's Vlog, love how you made it positive slant in mentioning what makes us happy, so easy to forget and let those things slide, so will definetly be making my happy list goal plan and thanks for the meter reading tip. It feels like sat in a lovely friendly space when watching your vlogs, watched Richard & Paul and thought what fab people you all are, pleasure to watch and love the humour. I wish you every happiness and can't wait to see what 2025. Best wishes Angela
Aww, thank you so much Angela. Have fun making your happy list. 😊

Happy new year!
I enjoyed the Big Bang theory, and then watched the young Sheldon, I've also watched Georgi and Mandy's first marriage!
Happy new year! Love all those shows as well, but you're right, Outnumbered was very flat and a waste of time! Last year I made a list of crafts to try over this past year, I've tried mosaic, marble pour, resin art, macrame, needle felting, lino printing.. to name a few!! This coming year it will be refining those new skills which I enjoyed.
Keep up the good work, I love listening to you whilst I'm drawing on an evening. Thank you for being you!
Oh what fab crafts to try! Enjoy honing your new skills this coming year. 😊
Happy New Year💖💖💖
