Interesting...

Just an update on my January No-Spend, I bought nothing and lots left my house. Maybe I'll do a video on the numbers (stuff in versus stuff out) each month instead of a haul video...

£85?.... *£85* for a set of 72 Glitter Gel Pens? I used to think our 100 sets for £19.99 were expensive!

The Chinese colouring manufacturers are really milking the younger new cozy colouring crowd eh? 😬🤑🤪

Just a short Craftroom Decuttering video today, so if you want to see a longer video of me rambling through my unwanted stuff, I uploaded a clothes decluttering video on the LifeJourney channel on Friday... but be prepared to hear me ramble about shops that no longer exist and the issue with clothes sizing... 🤪🤣

If you like ramble-y decluttering vlogs… I’ve just uploaded the first one of my 2026 house decluttering vlogs over on my LifeJourney channel. Only took me two weeks to pack the Christmas decorations away… includes lots of rambling and Robbie cameos!

The best laid plans of mice and men...

I recorded a video at 5am this morning showing the Nicety pens because after I mentioned them in a video over the weekend I was getting a comment posted over and over asking me to swatch them and film the video. The pressure was real!

I did explain to the commenter that I didn't have time to make the video as I have a full time job... just for reference I get up at 6am each day, make breakfast for hubs and me, take the dog for a 30-40m walk and then go to work for 8-10 hours... I usually get home between 6pm and 7pm and am generally pretty tired. I then cook and eat dinner with the hubs before falling asleep in front of the TV, then I go to bed... and do it all again the next day.

I make my YouTube videos at the weekend, mostly on a Sunday, as that's the only day I really have any "free time". Making YouTube videos is not my job, its more a hobby I suppose, I do it for fun and to chat with other pen/pencil lovers.

To be honest, I didn't like the stress of being pushed into making the video (it wasn't the next one on my list) but I felt obligated to do it (not a nice feeling). The video is currently waiting to be edited (by me... there is only me!)

That all aside, even though I posted that I was going to be decluttering my craftroom in the next couple of months and vlog through decluttering my house, something has happened at work which means I need to travel and be elsewhere for a while. I can't say all the details as it is not my story to tell, but I need to cover for someone who is critically ill.

That means there is unlikely to be any videos for a while, either here or on LifeJourney. I only found out on Monday and the details of what's required have been fleshed out over the last couple of days. If I had known this was on the cards, I wouldn't have made the plans video and discussed the decluttering. Sorry about that.

Obviously, my job is very important to me (as it's how we pay the bills!) so for the time being, YouTube is going to have to take a back seat.

Thanks for your understanding.

So the many packs of 24 pencils I'm letting go have all been packed up (with a little colouring book in each) and are off to the Children's Christmas Toy Collection today. I've also added some lovely new children's books, some unused paint sets and a new Diamond Painting kit.

Also leaving the house today are some of Robbie's unwanted toys and a bed he never used. They're going to the Battersea donation point where they are used at Battersea rehoming sites for the doggies waiting for homes 🥹🥰

And finally a bag of clothes for the charity shop!

As I mentioned in my video yesterday, this is the last week of that my currently listed items will be available on eBay this year... so I've decided to join in with the Black Friday deals out there and have reduced everything. With colouring books & jigsaws now from £3!

I've also bundled some things together, like five Lulu Mayo books for £20, a whole box of stickers & paper for junk journaling for £20 and four large hardback Art Therapy Colouring Books for £20 too! Bargains! (I also found another set of Brutfuner Squares in my art cupboard so have popped them on!)

All listings will finish on Friday 21st.
