LETS SPEND A WEEK TOGETHER | BABY PREPPING, I GOT A NEW CAR, HOUSE UPDATES | VLOG | MOLLYMAE
Good morning guys, what's my channel?I hope you're all doing very well today on this Thursday me and Thursdays and vlogging.I feel like it's always the day I seem to be vlogging on at the minute.I'm getting ready for ballet, standard procedure, um but don't worry I'll try and make this vlog a little bit different to like all the other Thursdays you guys have seen.Would normally have a tumultuous amount, wow what lovely word tumultuous, I'd have a tumultuous amount of natural light pouring through this window but obviously with sharing this room as a bedroom with my three -year -old we've mastered the art of having this like pin up blind up against the window.I took it down once to vlog and getting it back up was more stress than it was worth.
So basically no natural light today but I hope you're all doing well.I've got these eye patches on again which I, do you know what, I just think I love how big they are.And also, apparently Fran told me that the reason why everyone's loving them is to do with the cryo -ness, which is like cooling, so basically they're like cooling eye patches, I think.Experience the power of cryo -like cooling in a single step.They deliver a refreshing sensation upon contact.Yeah, do you know what?
They are cooling.I think if you were to put these in the fridge as well, on top of the coolness they already have, that would be incredible.I've made a promise to myself that I'm going to really take today to, well, they take up quite a lot of my face.I actually don't know why I'm trying to put skincare on around them.I'm gonna take today to really, really try and rest because I am exhausted.or yeah, I don't know, I just had a bit of a moment last night where I just felt really emotional and exhausted, and I'm gonna give you some house updates in this vlog as well, because honestly, we have been making some really good progress this week.
So like I say, today's Thursday, and I kid you not, it's really coming on out there.The baby's wardrobes in the nursery, the fixed wardrobes are now in.Bambi's bed frame, which is a huge project, has been started and is well underway.The tiling in the guest bathroom's underway, so I do feel like we're making some really good progress.Still, it's very, very optimistic that it's gonna be done, but I'm feeling confident in the team out there, and they really, really are doing their absolute best for me, which is just, I appreciate so much.But I've got a nice, coffee this morning, a little gales latte.
It's a really nice sunny day, not that you'll be able to tell because I've got a huge blackout behind in front of me. I got the next to me crib set up and out yesterday, which is really exciting.So that's in our bedroom now.And I'm also going to organize like nappy caddies today.I'm going to do like a little station in my room to do like a little changing station.The only thing I will say is that in the last house, we had a really great sideboard in our bedroom that I used as like a changing unit for all the nappy changes in the middle of the night, because the last thing you want to be doing, you put something down on the bed I feel like poo explosions like you just don't want to be risking doing that on the bed even with like a sheet underneath.So I'm thinking about potentially ordering like a little IKEA table or something like a temporary changing unit because I think in the middle of the night for those nappy changes like I say just having something in the room would be game -changing and I don't have anything in there right now.
Apart from that I'm gonna have just a day at home organizing it's absolutely the definition of not peaceful out there because Yesterday was the busy.I thought like it was hectic with the builders before but yesterday I I have never seen a day like it in this house.It was Mental but so so so good because like they're just being so productive and so much got done So anyway, I'll give you a nice big house update later.I do a little bit of skincare take that me to ballet come back and just relax, chill, not try and put myself in doing anything, not trying to go out the house, just absolutely rest as best I can.Evening guys, so I had a day to do exactly as I told myself I would do today, I chilled.So I haven't really had much to show you, had ballet, came back and just had a
day at home.The building work's been mental, but the progress is insane, and apparently I also can't breathe.I've got horrendous trapped wind, so just bear with me, but I, Tommy's just downstairs playing pool with his brother, so I thought, actually, I'm not really doing anything.Now would be a good time to, again, do something that I said I was gonna do, and do a couple of nappy caddies, because I'm gonna do two caddies, one for upstairs one for downstairs because that was game -changing last time because the last thing you want to be doing is like The nappy caddy is essential like the nappy caddy was a part that I literally didn't think about with Bambi.Sorry Yeah, the nappy caddy was just like something I don't really think about Bambi and now I'm like the nappy caddy like it's so important because the amount of nappy changes that you do with a newborn this nappy caddy is quite literally becomes your best friend.And like every single thing in it has to be purposeful and useful.
And yeah, I'm also really glad because Bambi's actually just fallen asleep, which I was quite, basically we're in this like weird phase of, I'm gonna, I'm having to kneel because you're up too high.What am I doing?
That's probably there also.My chest guys is so veiny.
I don't know if you guys can see, but I think, obviously your milk comes in when you give birth on like day three.So my milk's definitely not like come in, but is there like a pre -birth milk development?Because I feel as though my boobs have gone hard.I feel a lot more emotional.My chest has gone super veiny.And I'm like, ooh, I feel some changes with the breasts.
I don't know what's going on there.You can also see the next to me crib in the background, which I will show you in a second because I couldn't be happier with the next to me that we've got.It literally looks like it was made for me. to go with the furniture in this room like it's it's like it's literallythe same the wood is the same color as the wood of our bed it's just perfect anyway so right let's nappy caddy ourselves up so this is the nappy caddy that I went for I got it off a website I actually said to Taylor can you send me a link for the one that she had because I loved the one she had with story but she didn't send me that one she sent me a different one which I equally just love it's like a little boot clay one it feels really really gorgeous quality it's got three sections in it And I've also I've got to like I say so I'll see the brand on it what the logo of that company is but I'll only get down below anyway things first We've got size one now, please their new baby.I don't know.I'm assuming this is like the smallest size they do.
Oh My god, just bear with me with like everything I look at I'm probably gonna have like a minor panic attack because like everything makes me so excited but equally also makes me so scared and I just me being honest and I Wow, I don't remember, like, the fact that Bambi was ever in that is just actually hilarious to me.Right, let's fill this up with nappies.Oh, I definitely cut myself off before about Bambi being asleep.Why did I cut myself off?Because I was going to tell you guys something.Basically, we're in this weird limbo phase with Bambi's nap, where on the days that she has a nap, she's not going to bed that well and it was happening for a while so we shortened the nap because she was still having two and a half hour naps so we shortened the nap down to an hour but now I feel like She's still not going to bed that well even with an hour, but then on the days that she doesn't have a nap In the afternoon, it's like i'm dealing with i'm scared of her.
I'm scared of my own child So I feel like she does still need the nap but we're just in this limbo period at the minute of I think when the baby comes her nap will probably drop which is just absolutely great because I would have a baby that naps like literally all day and then a toddler that doesn't so you don't even benefit from the naps, but Anyway, um, like the nappies are in and then for wipes i'm doing the same wipes this time.They're a bit bambi.We've always always just usedthe water wipes.They are ridiculously priced.Whenever I go past it in the supermarket and see how expensive they are, like for a pack like this, I'm always absolutely flabbergasted.
But I do find that they just don't irritate Bambi at all and they're not dry.Certainly wouldn't be a nappy caddy without our trusty Pseudocreme, Pseudocreme.I love it.Literally uses on Bambi still now like it's just an absolute mum essential.I'm gonna pop this little one in this is um Walidah baby Skin protection balm so it's just like a little dry patches of skin or just to pop like on any Irritated bits of skin or baby acne or something, but I'm just gonna pop that in there as well and another one I'm actually gonna put in which I just found is my expert midwife dribble defense, which I think sounds great I never use that with Bambi but that would have been really useful because babies get like really sore lips from just like dribbling all the time and constantly wiping their mouths and the milk's sticky and all of that stuff.Muslins, you go through these like no tomorrow with a newborn.
So I'm just going to fold these up, pop a couple in here.I don't really have enough here to be honest, I could do with a couple more.If you've watched my videos for a long time since I've been bound, you will know that this product for me is an absolute essential.Like, I can't even tell you how many bottles of this I've gone through with Bambi.This is the Mustela hair styler and skin freshener.And the Mustela products for me with Bambi, like this really is my main baby brand that I use.
I think they smell the cleanest, the purest, the freshest, the most babiest.And I just absolutely love the Mustela products.I still use them now.I use the bubble bath, I use the shower gel.This was amazing for her when she was a baby.Just like you say, they've been sick or you just wanna Freshen them up or even like I don't know just like spraying their little hairs down or anything I just yeah I've always used this on Bambi and I'll never ever forget when I the first day I sent her into nursery like
her first day at nursery, one of her key workers said to me, is Bambi wearing perfume?Like, do you spray perfume on Bambi?And I was like, no, she's not wearing perfume.It's just this Mistela spray.It really is just the most, I don't know, just gorgeous, fresh baby smell.So I'm definitely gonna pop one of these in here.
And another thing I need to get is one of those little, little soft, like baby hairbrushes, like with the really soft, bristly, I had them for Bambi and they were so great.Some nappy sacks here as well, which I'm just gonna pop in.Another thing I'm actually gonna put in my little, like, miscellaneous section.It's really not that exciting, innit?It's just a thermometer, just to check the baby.I mean, I really should do, like, a first aid kit.

Get started freeMaybe I'll put Calpol on.No, but what age can they start having Calpol?I mean, we're not hoping that the baby's gonna need Calpol, I don't know, but...I don't think you can give it to them very young anyway.One thing that we did use with Bambi though, that a lot of people told me that I shouldn't be using, but we did use it occasionally, was gripe water.That was a bit of gripe water on a dummy for a baby that's like trapped wind or colicky or I don't know, it was absolutely game changing.
Me and Zoe literally swore by that stuff.Yeah, just a new thermometer.I'm gonna pop that in.in the caddy too.I think that is pretty much everything I need right now without getting too fussy.I could do with some cotton wool balls actually because when the baby's completely brand new they do recommend actually just using cotton wool balls with water and not even using wipes just yet.
Set up this one now and do the exact same.One job done.These can we just appreciate Our next to me crib and like I say just how insane it goes In our room.It literally looks like it was made For this bedroom, which it definitely wasn't this was a color where you can already select online I am just obsessed with that.We had the snooze pod next to itcrib for Bambi, but we had it in the white colour.
But I just couldn't be happier with this.And if you're wondering why it has a cushion in it and a blanket, it's because my child has insisted ever since we got it out in just lying in it and loving it so, so, so much.The last few days of me sort of getting everything as ready as I can has genuinely made me a little bit nervous for how amazing Bambi's going to be.Almost borderline too amazing.You know when a child almost wants to be a bit too involved.The way I know for a fact Bambi is genuinely going to think that she can take care of this baby alone.
She will pick up the baby.I just know she's gonna think that she's got it on lock, that she can sort the baby.And she's just obsessed with all the baby stuff.She's obsessed with dummies.She's obsessed with bottles.She's obsessed with anything to do with babies.
So, kind of scared for how I mean, I know she's just going to love, love, love the baby, but in terms of her involvement, she's just going to want to be so involved, which is so lovely and so amazing.But I'm also just going to have to be very, very mindful of just like managing that and not even leaving the baby in a cot in another room for a second if Bambi's on the loose, because she will get the baby out of this cot.That's guaranteed.I'm so out of breath, and this has probably been a really unpleasant thing to listen to, because I'm just literally like...Anyway, I have an eyebrow and lash appointment tomorrow, which I'm really excited about, because it's gonna be like my pre -birth, hopefully, glow -up, which will be great.So, I will bring you guys along to that.
I'm gonna drop Bambi off at nursery in the morning, head to that appointment, and I will catch up with you guys then.Goodnight.I mean I've literally just done like two hours of that this morning and that is it but I feel like I've just actually run a marathon it's the next day.I am an hour early for my brow appointment, which I'm just about to head to now.I mean, the journey's about 20 minutes, so I'll only be about half an hour early by the time I get there, but I just need to be out of the house.It's carnage there, and we've had a hectic morning, and I had really, really bad trapped wind all of last night, to the point where at three in the morning, I was chachaputing.
Can trapped wind, like, can labour pains and trapped wind because I didn't really know I just because my stomach was going hard and I thought is that just from like the pain of the trapped wind I really don't know so yeah false alarm I think because I don't feel like I'm going into labour today but I do have really bad trapped wind so anyway I feel like crap this morning but I think that's just because Bambi at the minute just wants to be held and carried, like, even though the walk into the nursery's only short, like, she wants to be carried for it, and it's just, like, it's just a lot.I'm not complaining, but it's just a lot.Anyway, another, um, fun update is that I misplaced my gold aura ring.I think actually, I haven't misplaced it, I think Fran's got it, but anyway, they sent me a - they sent me this one out, I've had it for ages, um, and I haven't needed it, but obviously because I've misplaced my other one, I've put it on, and it's like a white one.It's kind of like a pale -y, creamy, grey -y, white, Kind of goes quite nice with my nails to be honest.Um, I don't know how I feel about it I feel like it's quite like in your face.
Um, but I haven't been tracking my sleep, which I have been missing doing.So much, thank you.This is what you call one expensive coffee.I literally watched him putting a ticket on my car and I thought, right darling, at 37 weekspregnant, I ain't got the energy to move, my love.Just give me the ticket at this point.
Yeah, this better be the best coffee I've ever had, because quite frankly, that just cost me 30 quid.It's really, really stupid of me.Got to my brow appointment.Brows and lashes, which I'm very excited about.So I will try and show you a little bit when I get in there.
You can keep them as thick as possible.Do you want them a little bit sharper?Because you're maybe not going to be in a suit.What do you think?I quite like the shape that we've got going on here, to be honest.They're kind of straight.
That's the good shape.That's the good one.That's the naughty one.This is the one that just sort of goes really rounded, and it's difficult to kind of sharpen that.But there's not as much hair here to drop the line to give you the arch underneath.Right.
I've just pulled up at the office brows and lashes are done feeling very fresh.I feel like my lashes I I have been really disappointed in my lashes through this pregnancy because I stopped using Nano Lash and Nano Brow, my two literal best friends, and my lashes have really, really...All I can say is that product is just another level of good because when I don't use it, see such a difference, like my lashes have been pretty crap to be honest, but that has restored my faith that my lashes are actually, they are still there, they're not thriving, but they are surviving.I'm going to the office now, I need to sign a couple of things off with the girls, and then I think I'm going to meet up with Tommy this afternoon before we pick up Bambi from nursery and do something together.There's a horror film he's desperate to see in the cinema and we keep not being able to have like a babysitter in the evenings for Bambi like we just can't we can never find and any of the showings of the film that we want to see they're all really really late and yeahYeah, so we just haven't been able to go and see it, but it's called Hockham.
And there's a showing locally to us at like one o 'clock, which just feels like really bizarre to go at that time.But if we go to the Everyman, which it is, I'd maybe get some lunch there and have like a little midday date, which I don't know, I just feel like that feels a bit illegal.But I'll let you know if we end up doing that.But anyway.
Thank you, and I'll take a water as well, please.Still water for you.
Is that ours?
In fact, mate, did you Coke Zero?Yeah.
This is the first time I think we've ever done this before.

Get started freeNo, I went to see X during the day.
Did we?
That weird film.The weird one.With General Tigger in it.
Oh, did we?Cinema, 1pm, getting some lunch, getting a hot dog.Thank you.Are we the only people in there?
No, it's bad news.
What?
We're the only ones in there.And this is meant to be one of the scariest films of recent times.I spoke to Roman before coming here, and my brother Roman, by the way, said it was up there, Either one or number two scariest films I've seen.
What do you mean?That's what he said.
He said it's not like...He said it's not like hereditary bad where it's like...
Yeah.What screen is this?
No, screen three.He said it was bad but it's just it's the first film he's actually been frightened in.Like he's had to cover his eyes and I spoke to him behind there when I was getting my popcorn.He said he had to do the same.And so if you do that I'm going to be very annoyed so you've got to watch it all.
No, no, no, no, babe.I will go into an early labour.No, no, no, no.No.
You're going to have to put your camera down now babe because there is no filming in the cinema.
Oh right, sorry.Hi guys!It's actually quite a few days later now from when I last checked in at the cinema.I just had to check my SD card to see what was the last thing I documented.This is really breaking my stage fright because I've got a builder literally sawing a piece of wood next to my car.So much to do.
you guys in on.A lot of life has been lived since we went to the cinema and saw that film called Hockham, which by the way, you guys know me and Tommy, like obviously we bond over horror films and it's part of our literal love language to each other, but that was a hardcore horror.It was only a 15.Normally, like, real hardcore - well, hereditary, though.My worst ever horror film that I will not watch is a 15, actually.So I don't really think it's based on scariness level.
It's more to do with, like, like, sex and language and all that stuff that makes it an 18.But, wow.If you like horror, Hockham so so so good and also for us horror fans this month Like we have like five insane horror films coming out.We want me and Tommy really want to go and see Obsession or something obsessed or something is it called and it's got like 97 % on rotten tomatoes Oh, it's such a little film break.I need to start one of those things.Is it called like a letterbox or something where you let you to keep a log of all the films that you watch and then like write about what you think what you thought about them and then people can look at your Profile of it.
I definitely need to do that because I'm just like I'm really passionate when it comes to movies Well, I saw the mummy the other day as well.That was amazing.Very disturbing, especially if you're a parent especially to a daughter because it was a lot about like this this daughter and all, it was very messed up.But Hockham, I've been genuinely terrified ever since, like, going to the toilet in the middle of the night, which I do about four to ten times at the minute.I keep having this, like, one vision of this one part of the film when, like, I look at the dark corner of the bathroom.Defying.
Right, I need to pull away now because I'm gonna be late.Um, I am actually doing something really, really fun today.All the builders are here.I'm horrified they're all congregating outside the back door.Hang on, let me just...Where I'm driving to now, I booked myself a maternity leave.

Get started freewhich is just really funny because me and and doing anything that's, like, not absolutely essential right now.It just doesn't really happen.Like, I'm only kind of leaving the house when I absolutely have to.I'm only kind of going to appointments that are absolutely necessary, x, y, and z.So yeah, when I booked this, Fran was like, like, you have to not cancel it, because they just know what I'm like at the minute.But I'm doing it.
I'm turning up.I'm gonna do this maternity shoot, because I know that if I don't get any photos of this pregnancy, I Probably will regret it because you know, we just don't know this might be my last pregnancy.You just don't know what the future holds So yeah, we had Venezuela's wedding two days ago now which was It was touch -and -go whether we were actually going to go I got severely humbled in the comments which to be fair I don't know why I didn't expect because the whole time I kept saying to myself like if I do go if we do get to go And I haven't given birth by then and we're still holding out.I mean baby still seems pretty cozy, but basically, I was just like, I don't care what I look like, obviously she's been asked to be her bridesmaid and I really really wanted to honour that and obviously be there for the family and just show up because obviously if you can, that's what you want to do.I actually did put a bit of thought into it, I did get that jumpsuit tailored and everything but the hair, I actually had my hair done in the morning, I had like this really gorgeous bun but I just, I ended up taking the bun out or just slicking my own bun back and then you can like see my hair bubble, my roots, my whole, my hair's a whole different conversation at the minute.What I'm gonna do about my hair, I don't know.
It's grown out so much to the point where I'm like, do I just accept that I might just have to go to be in a brunette?No, surely not.I did have a bit of a spiral yesterday morning because I just don't know why I didn't think that, I don't know, I should have thought there's probably gonna be pictures and videos that will come out.Because in my head, I was just thinking about, like, the wedding and it's obviously their day, it's about them.I'm so, so, so glad that it's over.because It was such a nice day, and I fear that Bambi will never ever get over it like I don't think she's ever gonna get over I think she genuinely thought she was in a dream like that is her dream like dresses her hair hair, like the, just everything, like being with her cousins all day, like just having the best time.
Also, since when is it not acceptable to wear black to a wedding?Because I genuinely never thought that, guys.Like, I saw all the comments being like, I can't believe she wore black.I didn't know that you couldn't wear black to a wedding.I also know it's, it technically is more of like a, I don't want to say like a funeral colour, but like it's, I just think as long as it's not white, and as long as it's smart, But yeah, anyway, I was basically what can only be described as Bambi's chaperone for the wedding.I did not, like, there was not one part of me that thought about what I was gonna look like.
Blusher.
I feel like the picture quality on this iPhone footage looks great, but the sound quality I feel like is where it goes a bit iffy.But hello guys, as you can see, I got my extensions out at the end of that shoot.the topic of conversation, the roots.I mean, I was hoping it was going to grow a little bit more in length, because don't forget, just basically when I had my bob cut, I was pregnant and didn't even know about it.Had I known I was pregnant, I would never in a million years have got the bob cut, but hindsight's a wonderful thing.Just because I think when you get a bob, like you need to feel like your most confident self.
And I knew falling pregnant that I was probably the confidence wasn't gonna last many months um but I got loads to catch you up on I said that in the last part of the vlog but then we had the maternity shoot um and then I've got loads of like stuff to show you in the house um and those are just things to tell you about basically.I've never owned a tripod like this in my life um but I decided to order this on tiktok shop because I have genuinely been Considering making and not I don't know.Can I speak an anonymous cleaning account on tik -tok because my craving for bleach and scrubbing and sponges and I it's it's got completely out of hand like I'm Constantly constantly watching cleaning videos on tik -tok.I've never had a craving That is this strong like my craving for a babby was neverlike this this is like on a whole other level and I know it's all linked to iron but I'm especially addicted to watching addicted is a strong word it's not an addiction but it's just I'm obsessed with watching there's a product called Ajax which is basically like a really old I think it's like an old -fashioned like bleaching like house Household product and like I have absolutely become obsessed watching people like scrub their showers with this Ajax bleach powder to the point where I've been ordering my own Ajax powder and Scrubbing brushes bleach like I I can't explain the craving.It's actually crazy I was genuinely considering I've been considering making an anonymous TikTok account to create my own videos because I have made a couple of videos made a couple of cleaning videos and more to buy than to admit.
Maybe I might as well start posting to it and just create my own anonymous TikTok account.I'm joking, I'm actually not gonna do that, but it got to the point where I considered it that much that I ordered myself a tripod.But at least it comes in handy for this.My camera's dead and I wanted just to catch up with you guys, so I thought I would just vlog on my phone for a little bit.And then yesterday I had to go for my final midwife appointment, which she did a check of me and said that my cervix is looking nice and soft and basically all ready to go, which is really exciting.So yeah, I don't know if this will be my last vlog, um because it's taken me so long to post i've been literally filming this for like a good two weeks which is so annoying and i hope i can maybe get like one more out before d -day basically um and then yeah one more thing i well not one more thing i've got many other things to catch you up on but another thing i wanted to chat to you guys about was this situation so my hair um
Basically, I actually want your guys' advice on it because I am just not sure what avenue to go down in terms of do I go on a bit of a hair care journey and see where I can get my natural hair to.I'm so inspired by watching Perrie's hair growth, Perrie Charm, one of my friends.A lot of you probably follow her on Instagram.She speaks a lot about her hair growth journey.And watching that has really inspired me because I know my hair has the capability to be really, really good if I want it to be.If I let my natural colour grow out and had my natural hair, I think my hair could be really, really good.
But this is the worst possible time to start a haircare journey because I'm about to be postpartum and my hair's all going to fall out.But in terms of length, since getting the bob cut, my hair really hasn't grown an awful amount.it's gotten thicker for sure but in terms of length and then when I got my bombs out I was a little bit disappointed by um that also I still get questions about what that is.That's my scarf, my birthmark from the birthmark I had growing up as a child.But yeah, I don't know.I've been looking at following the Abby Young method, which I got all my products out for to see if I could do it last night.
And I have got all the right stuff.Look at that root.Wow.That's from pregnancy, by the way.My root is never, ever normally that dark, but I think it's like called banding or something for pregnancy.and yeah my natural color really does look so so dark and sorry this is really just boring chat but basically i was saying to Zoe that once i have a baby i really want to go on like my brow and lash journey again so when i use the nano brow and nano lash my brows and lashes go super super dark and like as you can see i
have dark features i have dark eyes i have dark brows and lashes and sometimes i just feel like the bleach white blonde next to that it doesn't really match that well but like also i'm not a brunette like in what world am i a brunette it's just not i'm not Or am I because I am technically I am but also like the blonde is my identity and that's like who I am and I don't know I I don't know what to do.All I know is that I've actually looked so Horridious, which I love that word horridious in this part of the vlog.So don't mind me.Oh gosh guys.I want to give you a little update Um on the house, but I can't I actually broke one of the door handles and so I can't actually gain access to the guest bedroom right now, which is kind of hilarious, kind of not hilarious, but I want to show you the progress in Bambi's room.The nursery is pretty much completely done.
I won't be able to take you in there just because you'll be able to tell what gender we're having, which gives me the XA in that because it's really not that deep.But like I say, I've got this far now, I'm keeping it a secret, so.might as well get to the end but yeah the nursery's pretty much completely done I just need to move the cot in because we're reusing a lot of the stuff from Bambi's nursery so I need to get that over from the old house we're reusing the cloud lights we're reusing the cot my builders are honestly like the way they've pulled through I couldn't love them anymore if I tried my interior designer Sally popped around earlier as well just to check on everything and she's like convinced that by the time I give birth like everything's going to be done so Yeah, any thoughts on what to do with my hair?Do I get my extensions back in?Do I bleach it?Do I grow it?
Do I grow a brunette?Like, what the heck do I do?Where do I go from here?Do I document a hair growth journey and see what we can do, how far we can get?Do I just accept that I love my extensions and love being a blonde and just...I don't know.
Okay, don't mind me and how I look, but I want you to cast your minds back to when I last checked in with you guys on this room.And I actually, I knew they were going to deliver, but I genuinely, I could not be more grateful for just like what they've been able to do in such a short amount of time.And they've genuinely, Like it's listen, we're still quite a way off yet, but the difference I couldn't be happier.So let me show you what they've done Okay, so as you can see bambi's bed frame is now Fully in honestly, it makes me want to cry.It makes me really emotional.I'm just I couldn't be happier with it so basically these are the little steps they are being um like they're going to have a runner of carpet up them and that's only been half all papered up there this wallpaper is going to go the whole way um I picked this really really special like cloud mickey mouse themed wallpaper and that's basically going to go yeah like I say the whole way across here and what i love about this little like reading nook bunk den type area is it's actually big enough for a single mattress so when she's a bit older and like has friends for sleepovers or i don't know we have a family member stay over like it's actually big enough to put another bed up here so it actually acts as a bunk bed which wasn't actually necessarily the plan the plan was just how this is like a little den but this wallpaper is just i love it so much the majority of it it's in so her bed will be going here bedside tables here with lamps on.
I'm actually bringing over a light fitting from my old house, which is the balloon light, which goes above the dining table at the old house.I'm bringing that over.There's been incredible progress on this part of the bedroom as well.So this, the wallpapering for the chimney breast was so intricate and detailed because obviously there's this like kind of, I don't know,swirly patterned edged part of it.And the wardrobe doors have been changed and wallpapered.
The little handles have been put on.So yeah, honestly, the progress has been insane.Like all of this here comes a separate part.So like, it's just been so like the work has been so intricate and so detailed.This is the fireplace that's going to be going on here.And then we're going to have it tiled inside like a little look kind of the same as mine and Tommy's.
But yeah.So that's her wardrobes.The insides have stayed the same.It's just the outsides that we've had changed, but that's the progress in Bambi's room, which honestly, I just, yeah, couldn't be happier with.I'm over the moon.I would love to show you inside the guest room.

Get started freeHowever, I went to grab the handle to go and check the progress and the handle fell off and I literally cannot get inside the room.Maybe there's something going on in there they don't want me to see.Maybe they've not made much progress and they're like, let the handle be broken so when she tries to go in she can't see it oh my god this door needs a really good paint um but yeah we'll have to look at that on another day good morning guys it's another chapter in this vlog sorry really have been checking in in small increments in this vlog.I'm just really annoyed at how long it's taken me to get it out, to be honest, because I actually started it about like over two weeks ago now, which is just so irritating.But it's my birthday Eve today, so I turn 27 tomorrow, and yeah, just literally got no plans for it.I think Taylor and Jack are gonna come up and see me. I think Tommy's got maybe a couple things planned.
I'm not really sure.I've got a facial.booked in um but i without sounding moany i'm just a little bit meh today because it's 31 degrees today sorry can i justask a quick question?Who ordered a heat wave for my last week of pregnancy?Like, who actually did that?
Because that is no joke.Like, it's been freezing for my whole pregnancy.And then for the last week, someone thought, ha, ha, ha, let's play a sick joke and ramp it up to like, not even just like it's gone from like 16 degrees to, I don't know, 20 to 25, like 31 degrees is meant to be today.And then tomorrow on my actual birthday, it's meant to be 30 degrees.So I will, I'll just, you know, I'll just go and, I don't even know, I just, I don't even have any words.This is going to be my penultimate vlog.
I've decided I'm going to vlog my birthday and then I'm going to be checking off to go have this baby because it's very, very soon I'm having the baby.But I wanted to show you one thing in this film.I ordered a new car because I think basically like I had my last car for coming up to four years, like three and a half years I had it.And I kept that car in perfect condition.But basically, I don't really know how it works, but I was advised that it was best to like, is it like the leases of or something?I don't know.
that's how backward i am when it comes to like i can't i don't know what the word the terminology for this stuff is ordered a new car the new car has come i ordered the car in what i thought was like a beige a beige color like a silvery beige, goldy, I don't even know.I just thought it was kind of like a subtle like pearlescent -y, beige -y colour with maybe a slight fleck of gold in it.But like, anyway, the car's come and I haven't actually told any of my friends and family this year because they all think I love the car, but basically I've decided that I'm actually like, the colour is is not for me at all um so i've decided i think i'm gonna have to wrap it and it's brand new it's factory like it was it's like a mercedes color so like it's i don't know if it's gonna devalue the car me wrapping it and every time i drive around in it everyone's like as if to be aI'm driving one of those cars that wants to be looked at and it's really not the case I don't want the car to be looked at I try to go for like a beige II I don't know what I thought it was but the picture was a lot more subtle than how it's come and in some lights it doesn't look that gold but in other lights it looks like really like yellowy bright gold.Like this morning I was looking at it I was thinking oh it's not actually that bad and then sometimes I'm like oh I really do like it and then other times I'm like oh no like it's way too like in your face.The car itself I'm obsessed with though like it's the same car I had before but just slightly newer.
It's like got all new like little features inside like charging pad for your phone and all that like I'm really really happy with it but just the color Fran's gonna have a heart attack when she sees this because she spent ages at making sure the car she's like do you want it like this do you want the wheel like this like I expect it and then now I'm just thinking it basically is the same color as the top of this perfume bottle what to wear on a day of 30 degree heat of the day I've managed to rustle together when I say ruffled together I mean it's literally just two components it consists of a white stretchy vest top that actually has a little stain on it but don't worry about that and then these pants from maybe someone said it really annoys them when I call trousers pants I don't know what like do I think I'm American I don't actually know why I do that but I do do that trouserspants, whatever you want to call them.They have this little skirt detail on the front.When I found out I was pregnant, there was so many things from the summer collection that I just thought I'm not gonna be able to wear, but I've actually been able to wear a lot of it.I've just sized up, I think these are maybe a size 12 or 14.But yeah, these actually look kind of cute.
So, that's my little outfit.Outfit of the day because one thing about me is you know, I'm never ever gonna get my legs out I've just been to Gayle's and I've got the builders some treats because they're all in working on a bank holiday Monday and One of the builders actually was here all weekend working.It's just they're just the best so picked out some pastries So I'm gonna make a little pastry board for them to pick from The builders have just finished up for the day, and I thought I would just show you.I mean, the guest room, there's not loads to see, but obviously the door handles broke the other day when I tried to show you.So I thought I would just show you the tiling progress, because it's really, really good.It's really, really cool.
The floor tiles are now down, and a large portion of the wall tiles are in.That's where the shower screen's going.A little bit of a shower screen mishap, because I got quoted a quote for the shower screen which was that expensive it actually made my eyes water and I was like yeah I'm not gonna pay that for a shower screen like in what world did shower screens like that and I wouldn't know like the average cost of a shower screen um but I think it's because it's like a bespoke one made for that space and the one that we was proposed was like a fancy one with this big like silver feature on it and I was like yeah no give me the most standard shower screen you have going because I am not paying that.I think as well like this was our arm'sI still wouldn't pay it, but if it was our en suite, I'd be like, okay, like, we're, you know, we're going to be in it every day, but this is the guest bathroom.So the only bathroom we've renovated is one that we're not even really going to, well, I will actually probably have this as my bathroom.
I'm going to be coming in here all the time because one thing I'm not going to do is renovate a gorgeous bathroom and then not use it.I would love to renovate the other bathrooms.I just don't know when we're going to get around to doing that.And Tommy's made me promise him that after this, there's going to be no builders in here for at least like a year.He actually said two years, but we're going to have to meet in the middle and yeah, because there's loads of things I want to do to the house.I proposed to him that I actually want to look at maybe doing the whole kitchen and maybe doing a new extension on the back of the house as well, because the kitchen, it's on its last legs.
Like there's parts of it that are great, but also all the cupboards are falling apart.The skirting boards are falling apart.We sprayed it and I'm happier with it, but I just feel like definitely in the next couple of years, we're going to need to look to redo that.Basically, that's what happens when you buy an older house it's just constant things and i think that when we bought this house it had been renovated maybe like 10 to 15 years ago so everything was kind of just like in desperate need of a bit of a revamp and you know me guys i don't do things by halves this is the kind of walkway section um into the actual bedroom which we had an arch put in this was a last minute decision actually we weren't really sure whether we were going to do this or not but i'm actually so so glad we did one thing about me as you guys have probably realized is that i love an arch i just think it makes a space feel very kind of like traditional but also like with a little modern twist i just i just really love it and then you've got the paneling that goes around it as well which i really love and then this is the current situation with the guest room so not really majorly different the guys are starting to kind of clear out their stuff now but it's fully decorated so we're just basically waiting for the carpets to go down in here the light fittings to go on the bed to go inSo yeah, nothing major to be done in here.The view of the back garden from this room, I think is actually the best view in the house.
I feel like there's been great progress in here.And I don't know if like visually a lot has changed, but basically we're just waiting for the carpet to go in and it's pretty much done.Bambi's just having a little siesta.I'm just gonna have like a 45 minute nap just so that it doesn't make my life too hard.this evening trying to get her down to bed, but I will quickly go out and show you my new car.I'm so annoyed at myself because when the car came it was immaculate, it looked so nice.
It's filthy, it has bird poo all over the window.So this is my, what I thought was, beige -y Brassy silvery.I mean, do you know what the description I'm giving is exactly how it actually looks to be honest I just feel as though in some lights It just looks incredibly gold and that like I've literally ordered a bright gold car I mean, I can just leave it this color, but I just don't know if it's a bit blingy guys You know, I mean like I've gone from having this in brown, which was a really nice like subtle It was like a bit different to black.I absolutely love that color and now She she really is gold, but the only difference inside I got the same interior because I absolutely love this interior I just love this car in general.It's literally my dream car that I mean I've said it before but there isn't a day that goes by where I don't get in my car and pinch myself that this is my car like the novelty has never ever worn off for me and yeah I get to drive it every day I just love it so much.I love the new steering wheel although in my other car this was brown but this time around there was no option to get this as brown so I'll give this approximately a month before it's probably covered in makeup and absolutely filthy.
I'm actually considering getting like a steering wheel cover.All the cups in the cup holder that had a load of ice in it that was chomping but it has like new little features that thecar didn't like a charging pad there.Mine didn't have this like feature here on it the last time and so it's a little things I mean obviously it comes with a bird poo as well which is just absolutely gorgeous.Do we like the gold?Do we think it's too blingy?
Do we think it needs to be more subtle?When it first like came onto the driveway when they dropped it off I actually thought no I absolutely love it and from all the pictures I got sent I thought it was perfect.
What are you doing out here, Bozer?
Darling, it's boiling.Out here in the bush.Why are you not coming inside, Bozer?Guys, why is my cat lying in the boiling heat in a bush on gravel?Reg, you're like so totally random.Come inside, Bozer, come on.
The sound quality on this is gonna be atrocious, and I need to speak a little bit quietly because, keep the noise down, because Bambi's just through there and trying to get to fall asleep.It's nearly nine o 'clock, but because she had that nap earlier, but then equally we have such a nice afternoon because she was like well slept she was in a really great mood because she'd had a little nap so not sure also I just wanted to quickly say this car color thing the car is my dream car as I mentioned before and I'm so so so so grateful and lucky to have it I've had it for the last like I say nearly four years now and it never ever feels real that it's my car I'm just genuinely curious as to like this color thing and if you guys think it's yeah i don't know um it's not a big problem at all it's literally just a matter of opinion and i thought i'd just bring it up to you guys one thing i will be doing now is tapping out of this bank holiday because wow that three -day weekend in that 30 degree heat with a toddler full -time pregnant wasn't no joke was absolutely no jokeJust made it through, not truly dying.
Tapping out on this birthday eve.I'm gonna vlog tomorrow as much as I can.
