  • This week I was back to work and I put together a vlog. I had a list of jobs that needed to be tackled before I headed back to work. Clean with me! As I tackle my messy house, especially my messy craft room! I also tidied the garden, painted my skirting boards and even made a mud kitchen. I hope you enjoy this chatty clean with me video and get some motivation to get cleaning your home.

    Catherine,
    You’re a beautiful young lady who has blessed MANY people with your videos through this crazy last several months. You’ve given us a break from all the worry, fear, and shared your life with us, I THANK YOU sweetie, you’re a wonderful person! ❤️We’ll be here when you can post more videos. Stay safe as you go back to work, and enjoy being back around your pals and workmates.
    Your flowers are beautiful! 🌸
    It is scary here in the US, my state reopened almost a month ago 😱
    Spikes of cases make me nervous.
    Thanks for your well wishes. 💕
    Take care of yourself, God bless you!🌺❤️🌺 xoxo

      I don't have a Dyson, but a similar cheaper hoover by Vax. For a small two bedroom flat it's perfect, normally the battery lasts long enough. However, I imagine if you wanted to hoover a whole house in one go, it wouldn't be the right choice.

    Hi sweetie! I´m in Argentina and is very scary right now. We´d been under lockdown for over 100 days and is hard on everyone. I ´m not working since March 14th (I´m a nail tech) and my economy is bad right now. I´m trying to keep positive and give thanks that my hubby, my boy and myself are healthy and we have food in our table, others are not so lucky. Keep safe and big hug

      I agree with you about the Shark plug in. I had a Dyson plug in model and it only lasted 1 year (I got more time from the cordless model but still had to replace the battery after 3 years). I purchased an inexpensive Shark model after the Dyson failure and it’s the best vacuum I’ve ever used. It cost 1/3 of the cost and works so much better. I’m a Shark convert!

I may not be able to go out to dinner or travel, etc. But her life is unravelling. as well as her employees And so many more people. I feel BLESSED.

You have ALWAYS had great content and no matter what you post and when you are a bright spot in anyones day!!! I love how energetic you are with the cleaning (wish I had that much energy) and your home is so BEAUTIFUL!!! Your home is MY dream home. I love all the colors(especially pink), teacups, flowers, shabby chic, chippy paint, Victorian-ish, cottage-y white, and 2 cats!!! (My Sister & I dream of living in a cottage with 2 cats some day) Love EVERYTHING about your home, DIYs, Chit-chat, and Blondie & Pepsi too!! Thank you for all you do. TFS.😊 💖 👍 🐈🐱

    When you need to replace your Die-son, try the Shark rocket vacuum. I love it and have purchased one for my daughter and niece. Less than half the price of yours. However, it does have to be plugged in which I don't mind. Very long cord. I will also suggest the Shark steam mop. So much easier than your mop and bucket. It has reusable, washable pads. It cleans with hot water/steam so no scent and won't hurt your animals. Maybe get a Shark sponsorship instead! My fave tools!

    I love your home decor, DIY, vlogs and travel!! I'm from America and visited Ireland right before lockdown (good timing thank goodness lol) and your staycation vlogs are making me ache to get back to Ireland 😢 such a beautiful country, my favorite I've visited thus far, so those vlogs are giving me ideas for my next time there.

    Thanks for the Dyson review. Others do rave about them and so I wondered. Good to know!! I like my time alone but I also miss the social visiting. I just can't wait to give someone a HUGE hug!!! Don't know when that will happen. I do get to hug my dog!! So thankful for him to cuddle with. My cats aren't' as fond of the hugs!! You know how that goes!! I visited my family but we social distance. I have worked a few days each month. My work continues on but there are several of us, so only a few work each day since the amount of work has slowed down. During this time it's been a blessing in other ways. I did get some much needed work done on the outside of my home. Looks so much better now!! So glad you posted. It's always a boost to see your smiling face!

It's certainly been emotional at times♡ none us, no doubt desires to see anyone, anything, any place in turmoil. 2020 "a new vision." Glad to know your slowly moving back into work and that it is closer to home. Certainly understand the desire to see people and work outside the home while doing youtube as a hobby, being creative and just enjoying that way, sounds wonderful😊 by the way, loved the little wooden kitchenette, so sweet. Your garden and flowered plants look awesome. You are the sweetest youtuber Catherine, love your channel of joy and your content.

    Hello from Northern California. I have friends in Belfast and they too were surprised by the quicker opening in Ireland. I did send them all masks that I made and recieved a lovely picture of them all wearing them out in the community. Dyson, as you were vacuuming (hoovering) your couch I was thinking I really need to get one of those...then you stopped and did a review. Nope, will stick with the one I have. I fully get the isolation, it's hard and has affected my mental health. I work one on one with clients and having to work with them by phone for last 3 months has been lonely. I too live by myself. Anyway, this old lady always excited about Thursdays and your new posts. Good luck on Monday...YOU GOT THIS.

I am an so gratefully appreciative that you worked in the garden and filmed.. You videos encouraged me to plant some herbs and flowers today from seeds and to separate and divide some of my other plants. We have had 3 weeks straight of rain. The bouquet of flowers was quite beautiful. You are a funny tell it like it is girl. I live in the middle of America south of the five great lakes and east of Chicago. Love to see a strong happy woman and share a cup of tea. You are a naturally beautiful person.

    You're right. I had a Dyson V8 animal which was not cheap a few years ago. Run time was meant to be 20 minutes but I was lucky if I got 10. The dust collector used to fill up so quickly it caused if to overheat and cut out. Expensive mistake. It lasted 2 years then stopped charging. I now have a Shark and whilst it's not cordless it has the lift away function so just like one really. Love it.
    I'm back to work on 4th July. A bit nervous about all the changes but will be so nice to see everyone again. Like you I live alone except for the cat and its lucky she's chatty or I'd have gone mad! I really miss giving people a hug x

    In Germany we have absolutely independent institutions, that test all kind of stuff and they do it anonymously, they buy the things like any customer in shops and the firms don't know anything about it, so they can't give out a special item, that's better than the average. They test any aspect you can think of and they found out, that Dyson is not worth the hype or even the price. It's a hoover like most hoovers and the battery is not great. Nothing special to Dyson. You can get at least the same quality for a better price.

    Lol Catherine on your Dyson rage haha. I was always so tempted by how great they appear to be. I wouldn't let myself fall for the hype. So glad now when u are voicing that opinion that it isn't as great as it seems. I had a hetty til she sadly died a couple months ago and I loved her. I've borrowed my mams nilfisk at the moment but I think I'm going to get another hetty. It's Henry's sister, she is a pink girlie so if you decide to leave ur Henry with ur mam then I highly recommend hetty.

    A great video, nice to see your home and garden, they always look lovely. I've been working from home since with March 19th (I'm a secretary) and lockdown has definitely made me realise that I definitely do not like home working and prefer the home/work divide. No sign of our office reopening yet but if me not liking working from home is all I've got to complain about then I am very lucky indeed and very grateful to have my family, home and job. X

The ice cream shops have re-opened as have the fish and chip shops. I am blessed to have the coast on my doorstep and lucky that my family all live in the same area. I think it is the lack of 'routine' that I miss most in not going out the door to the office. Hope you settle back in to your routine soon.......

    This is an older video, but it popped up in my feed so of course I watched! As for your Dyson ... I had a canister vac that lasted about 6 or 7 years and then it went caput. It started losing its suction way before that, but I didn't really notice until it got quite bad. Took it to be repaired, was told all the pet hair was blocking the motor so they gave it a good clean, but a week later it was dead again. At that point, I said never again to Dyson! The repair man told me that Dyson constantly needs to be repaired. So I then invested in a Shark (not sure if they have Shark vacuums in Ireland), and it's the best vacuum I've ever had. I wasn't overly impressed with the suction power of the cordless, but I love my corded one and plan to get a smaller version so I have a vacuum on both floors. If/when you're ready for a new one, see if Shark vacuums are available in Ireland. They are worth the money! Half the price of Dyson and much higher quality!

    I understand what you are saying about the Dyson. I bought the animal dyson because I have two very large white dogs that shed A LOT! Everyone said this was the best. I was disappointed from the start. I doesn't pick pet hair all that well and I absolutely does not pick up small bits of anything else. I ended up buying a basic vacume after that and It is so much better for a fraction of the cost.

I'm just back to my job in the optical industry this week, and between the new protocols, procedures and wearing a mask for 8 hours a day, I am wiped out by day's end (aside: thank you essential services peeps for living this life non-stop!). I feel like I'm brand new at a job i've done for nearly 2 years ... I know it will get easier, but I am strugglin' a bit in the meantime. That said, my troubles are tiny and I am grateful beyond measure for all I have.
