You did amazingly well filming while shopping! I’ve loved your vlogmas posts and understand how much work they are. Merry Christmas to you and the crew - hope it’s a wonderful and peaceful season for all of you. 😀🌲
Nyssa, thanks for all your hard work in bringing these videos to us, they're delightful. Never change your style of presentation- we love it. Wishing you, Daryl & the children a very happy Christmas xx P.S. You are a good daughter getting the spray before your mum arrives! I would be a bit concerned re extra wildllife (& I don't mean Lambington!) & it's lovely that you are thoughtful about her visiting
You know, I live in the US, in a major (well, you would recognize the city name) city (but really a big town) in the mid-south of the US. We were never able to have children. We are, however, Anglican (my husband is a priest) and we have 12 chickens (yes, in town) and are keto/carnivores. I have been watching you for years. And while our seasons are opposite - I think they are very similar. We often hit the 90s F in May with high humidity. I'm pretty soft and can't live without A/C. I so enjoy watching your channel. Thank you for going outside your comfort zone for us!
i love when you just vlog and it is kind of rambely. i like the glimpse into your real life and how your brain works and i love just seeing your family being helpful even the vanna hand sweep. lol i also understand if the vlog style isn't something you can maintain. but just know some of us love you unscripted and squirrly.
hi ,, don't know what to say just watched you shopping / putting a way hauls, am exhausted just watching you ,, do they know how lucky they are to have you ,,, I know you will feel the lucky 1 , but , you are amazing 😊🙏 hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
Like West Australia it has been 41 cel in the Perth region 😅 Very organised shopping haul for the family. Enjoy the festive season with your family 🎄⭐️👍
Nyssa your break down on how you make sure that you and your family are fed healthy nourishing meals is fascinating.So well thought out 👏👏👏👏👏 Girl you deserve a medal 😊😊 The Darryl presentation flourish is magnificent 😁😁😁 Really enjoyed the whole shopping videos from planning to the shopping share girl I feel exhausted for you so WELL DONE ❤❤❤ As always a pleasure to watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x
Hi Nyssa you are a superstar shopper I'm going to miss your daily vlogs allso I love Darryl's hand wave silly but fun have a wonderful Christmas to you and your beautiful family 🥰🌹⛄🎄🧑🎄
Really loved your shopping trip this time and you got some really lovely stuff. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Looking forward to seeing your cooking vlogs ❤
So Pooped! lol, but I'm nearly always happy with the quantity for the cost, its a lot of money in one go, but I can see the way it stretches now and how much time I get out of it etc.
Cream freezes really well. In the 17:40 are in or in smaller portions. Use ice cube trays. Then you can just take one cube to put straight into your coffee. It doesn't whip really good after freezing, though. Thank for these Christmas videos. And may I say; you are looking fantastic! Merry Christmas to you and your family from Denmark 🇩🇰
@OurSmallFootprint freeze the cream in cubes. Pop it out and store them flat in bags. It will take up less space in freezer that way. Cream is a nice versatile ingredient to have.
Just past 10am here, I’m in my kitchen, baking, sun pouring in the window and it’s -17C outside. What a difference! Totally enjoying your daily vlogs and you are still standing! What a Wonder Woman your are Nyssa 😊
Your house must smell gorgeous with all that fruit, i worked in a greengrocers shop and market and i loved the smell of fresh fruit and veg❤, strange person eh😂 great video 🎉🎉 have a great christmas with the family❤❤
Nyssa, you are "True Blue". Amazing how organized you are. AND how you can pack all that food and drive it home. What to you use the Maldon salt for. Was popcorn one of the items the kids forgot to tell you that needed bought. I noticed in the past week or 2 that you were making lots of popcorn. Loved the video and Darryl's hand sweep.
We just love the texture of the maldon salt on things it tastes amazing but it also is that flakey texture, I make everything but the bagel seasoning up with it and even though D and I aren't eating bagels atm, that sprinkled over food is delish! We actually had plenty of popcorn left, I must have overbought the month before!
I enjoy the hand sweep too with effort to educate your son on proper flurish 😊 Nyssa, you are doing a great job with the videos! You are appearing more relaxed and I love the side comments squirreling and it is what is. I use that often. Many blessings. Debra
Well done Nyssa, I am sure you are going to love the Noshu and Carmen bars they are delicious but small... A fantastic haul, I truly don't know how you do it so hats off to you 🦸♀️....I have so much enjoyed watching you everyday... Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄. ..
Im in perth and it was 40+ today and will be the same tomorrow, this heat is horrible Thanks for all your content this year, wishing you and your family and everyone else who reads this a very merry christmas and a happy new year, Take care everyone be safe ❤️
What I've noticed is that when you first started doing these videos you had said that people make comments, nasty comments, and you had tough skin and it doesn't bother you. Lately, you're apologizing left and right for how your property or kitchen looks. Block those people. They don't live there. Most of us regulars enjoy seeing it. Stop letting it bother you so much that you have to mention it every video. I love to see how different other people live.
Looking awesome. Remember don't let the scale pizz you off. Muscles are heavy....very heavy vs fat. So right on track. Let's hope you can add a bunch of trees, bushes fruit-nuts and preannual re thriving things like garlic, rhubarb, strawberries, this next year for a awesome fill in when the flats are outrageous. Don't let the goats- fowl eat your trees ,& bushes lol. Awesome haul.
❤ to you and your family at Christmas, Nyssa. Your vlogs have been a great way to relax with a coffee and see how other off-grid, homeschooling families do it in Australia. Looking forward to next year and following your family's progress through 2025. You are raw, honest and relatable. I really appreciate that. ❤ from another off-grid family from the Atherton Tablelands, Far North Qld.
It's incredible how you manage to spend so little for a big family. Almost everything you buy is fresh food too, well atleast 90% of it is. It sounds a lot when you say 4k, but that's for 2 months if not longer.
Loved that video was nice to go shopping with you guys, try rice cakes with peanut butter and banana slices for a snack for the kiddos mine love it… and merry Christmas 🎄
Well done getting all that packed and home. Then to unpack and store. My my. What a tremendous effort. Hope you had a restful night and easier first morning back to recoup. I showed son your tables of food to have him say he has been watching people eat food on the internet to get interested in eating as he can’t eat at the moment. lol.
It's so interesting to see even the small differences between the groceries we have available. Our pop (soda) in Canada comes in boxes of 12, not 10. And I have never heard of chicken salt!! Thanks for another fun video. :)
I watch, listen and wish i could do even a month without shopping. Central qld here and no close really good stores where bulk buying is consistant. I do some of the same things and should really get stuff moving more on the home made front but time is not giving. Great video!
Another great video! If I have whipping cream that I want to freeze I freeze them in pucks in a silicone muffin mold and they pop right out and then I put them in a freezer bag. If I want bigger sizes I freeze it in plastic containers.
What a delicious stock up of fruit. Lychees here are $15 kg from the farmer. Mangoes $2. My rolled pork was $14.99kg of $49.29. The pork and ham products are processed by the butcher who sells them so they are quality product. I bought that chocolate sauce at xmas one year but silly me stored it in the fridge. We had a good laugh about it. You and your family are going to have a great feast for xmas.
Thank you! :D A pity I get so filthy when spending all day in the kitchen lol, but I never remember to put on and off aprons so it ends up the same even if I have them!
Another great video thank you. Would you mind briefly explaining how you set up your list to price everything per 100g, not setting up the spreadsheet but getting all the prices as Costco and Aldi are not online. Did you just make a note when you went shopping or have it in your planner? Just trying to work out how to get all the prices and keep up to date ❤
I keep all my receipts! so every trip I update the spreadsheet, but the thing is that its really not in a very readable format and I just never seem to get to updating it more than just running the list of prices into it. Then I have formulas based on the pack sizing, so yeah, take photos, check receipts, and just do it as I go along.
Hi Nyssa, just wondering if you've seen the ocean spray cranberry juice concentrate. It's $8 full price for 1 litre but that makes the equivalent of 5 litres. I make it up in a 1.5 litre bottle and add a little sugar to it. Works out a lot cheaper. It's Unsweetened, you could use stevia or allulose to sweeten it to your taste. I buy it when it comes on special
I actually thought that your grocery haul was quite small really considering you dont shop for another 2 months, and it xmas. The fruit haul was big though. I usually try and get big 10kg bags of potatoes. Do your children prefer potatoes or pasta? I boiled my mango pip and made mango and passionfruit cordial. Hoping you all have a fabulous Xmas!
Potatoes go bad real quick here in the heat, so I have to limit the amount that I buy because we just don't get through them :S I normally would make huge batches of cordial with the mango pits etc, unfortunately, I'm a little stuck for time and space this trip and most of them are going to the chooks!
We have access to a stand pipe in town about 30 mins away, D goes there once or twice a week to get post and animal feed etc, and he takes an IBC with him on a trailer, so he grabs 1,000L and then we pump it into our main tanks :). Our loads are $500 for 10,000 L, the standpipe is about $3 for 1000L if you cart it yourself
Great shop! We have the costco chicken nibbles too, sometimes it's nice when carnivore to eat a few with half a steak amd a chaffle of you want some variety.
El I've enjoyed this month. You seem to have, as well! The price on Wagyu roasts was excellent? That is a better price per pound than conventional, grocery store beef in my last of the US!
Have you guys considered buying a small dual cab truck instead of a ute? It might be easier to transport things on these hauls... I know they aren't cheap though
We had planned to enclose the trailer so that it is a mobile cold room, that's the long term plan hehe, but it just hasn't happened yet! :D. We don't have the funds for another vehicle and probably won't for a while unfortunately.
Hello freeze ur berries an strawberrys too an theyr like ice cubes in ur drinks an don't water them down even in water it's refreshing to drink frozen fruit when it's hot an humid out. ❤
Heeheehee that's funny how u call the fake "seafood - extender" we call it crab meat . But there is no crab meat in it. It's just a fish sticks. But it does make a good seafood salad. It would b yummy on ur bread rolls u make for a lunch or supper in the warmer weather.❤🎉😂
If there is gluten intolerance or coeliac disease in the family you need to avoid bought grated cheese as they have a flour coating that stops it from sticking together. I know this as i have a son with coeliac disease. Just letting you know in case of….. 😊
Not judging you… i have 6 kids and i take help wherever i find it!!! For me it was a sad day when I realised we could no longer have it! I watching your video of what you got right now… I live in Perth. ❤❤❤❤
@ cost wise I just feel like while we’re still changing diet and over Christmas it was worth that couple bucks extra and the little bit of starch/carb to make things easier lol
With that turkey, will you eat your fill and then freeze the rest of it in Nyssa size servings amount s? That is, if the kiddos don't eat it all on you, lol
I didnt enjoy the Noshu or Carmen bars at all. I do however make a bar myself from unsalted pork rinds (broken into small pieces), macadamia nuts, and I mix together no sugar chocolate melts (melted) and a jar of any nut butter which forms a nice fudgy type of candy to pour over them. I also find that all the keto products in the supermarket and health shops are extremely expensive. Searching the we will reward you with some amazing channels that will show you how to make yourself :D
Love your channell all the way from South africa. Please please find a south African shop down under and buy the original biltong and dry wors. You call it jerky you will taste the difference.
We do actually buy some authentic stuff! There’s a couple of places that sell it that we do, we didn’t this year I just didn’t make it to them, but D Hoovers jerky lol, and it’s just so expensive the really good stuff, worth it! But still at the speed he can eat it lol
So jealous of the price of most of your produce from NZ... I love you yardstick for measuring price. I think going into 2025 I am going to do the same. We are only a family of 4 but am thinking $4 per person per day. To include cleaners and pet food that is from supermarket (their dry is online) thats $336 a week which is a lot less than I currently seem to spend!
I think just being mindful is key, so if you have a number you are trying to stay around, that helps you to think when you are purchasing and assess :)
Well done Nysa Did u get the smeg knife sets they are made in Germany 🇩🇪 u get so many per shop depends on. How much u spend I’m collecting them for my boys for when they leave home eventually it will save them money and I get them for free Free is good for a good quality item
Hi Nyssa - I am in Brisbane and am looking at joining Costco, but it is almost impossible to find prices to judge whether the membership will be offset. Could you please tell me how much the Kirkland Grass-fed butter is?
Many thanks - it is wonderful to see an Australian bulk buy/preserving channel - so tired of making the conversions from US measurements/names/products. Not that they aren't amazingly informative, but it's easier watching someone who is more relatable. You're doing a fantastic job!
@ I tune them out now, probably because I am used to them being in country QLD myself. We all will surely miss your daily vlogs! But we know it’s too hard to keep them up.
I know it isn't sustainable, but I must say I have really enjoyed your daily vlogs. The shopping trips are always fascinating, partly from an organizational view and partly because even though I miss my children, seeing what you buy to feed yours makes me thankful to be an empty nester. Shame on me---Anyway, thanks for the massive effort.
I'm still in the same 10kg range I always am, the low end of it, but still within the same 10kg I've weighed for the last 20 years :). So maybe I drop down out of it next weigh in.
I did, but I'm still in that 10kg window I always am, at the lower end of it, but still in the same window I have been for the last 20 years, so we'll see what another 8 weeks does, maybe I'll drop lower :)
I went and gave her some love after filming, cleaned her water trough and hand fed her some pellets and gave her a fresh leaf of lucerne :D. She's just very vocal when we're around :)
Nyssa, please tell Darryl how much fun his hand sweep is, such a silly thing but we all need reasons to smile these days. Blessings Cindi
Darrell reminds me of Vanna White from wheel of fortune... Heeheehee hey I'm sure he works hard helping set everything up too they All done did ❤😂
❤ I lol 😂 every time
You did amazingly well filming while shopping! I’ve loved your vlogmas posts and understand how much work they are.
Merry Christmas to you and the crew - hope it’s a wonderful and peaceful season for all of you. 😀🌲

Nyssa, I am already sad we are near the end of the month lol I love these daily vlogs soooooo much!
Oh how I wish we could continue these vlogs! I look so forward to them. I actually saved yesterday’s and watched to together!
You know, I live in the US, in a major (well, you would recognize the city name) city (but really a big town) in the mid-south of the US. We were never able to have children.

I’m trying it out over the next couple of videos, doing my food preservation etc in the same style and will see how it goes! :)
DAGGY...you have introduced me to another neato word, Nyssa. Thank you.
Hehe, its a good sounding one :D

A great haul! You've got to be exhausted by the end of that day!! I think you got a ton of stuff for the price! Thank you Darryl for the hand sweep!!
So Pooped! lol, but I'm nearly always happy with the quantity for the cost, its a lot of money in one go, but I can see the way it stretches now and how much time I get out of it etc.
Great haul! Daryl’s hand sweep is amazing. Lol
Love your videos
Darryl and the hands. Priceless 😂
Christmas is going to be exciting with all the goodies ❤
Merry Christmas to you all from Ontario Canada
You are so fantastic. I love your videos. You are so blessed. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Cream freezes really well. In the 17:40 are in or in smaller portions. Use ice cube trays. Then you can just take one cube to put straight into your coffee. It doesn't whip really good after freezing, though.
Thank for these Christmas videos.
And may I say; you are looking fantastic!
Merry Christmas to you and your family from Denmark 🇩🇰
I got as long dated as I could because I am using all my silicone atm to freeze fruit lol!
Thank you! :D
@OurSmallFootprint freeze the cream in cubes. Pop it out and store them flat in bags. It will take up less space in freezer that way. Cream is a nice versatile ingredient to have.
@@ghc7400 Yes, but I have no cubes to use atm, its all full of fruit :)
Try pouring some in a Ziploc bag & freeze flat so you can break off pieces
@Miss_B88 that is actually a very good idea.
Tried a few of the mingle seasonings, love them
That is so much work for you. I had a hard time shopping for 3.
Just past 10am here, I’m in my kitchen, baking, sun pouring in the window and it’s -17C outside. What a difference! Totally enjoying your daily vlogs and you are still standing! What a Wonder Woman your are Nyssa 😊
This haul seemed extra big! I don't know how you manage it all! Good job!
Your house must smell gorgeous with all that fruit, i worked in a greengrocers shop and market and i loved the smell of fresh fruit and veg❤, strange person eh😂 great video 🎉🎉 have a great christmas with the family❤❤
You are doing such a great job!!!!! Merry Christmas
It’s not done without Darrel’s hand swoop. That’s a lot of food, can’t wait to see what you do with it.
FABULOUS FLORISH D! Nyssa, You are AMAZING.
You got some nice treats! Love the berries, too!❤
Nyssa, you are "True Blue". Amazing how organized you are. AND how you can pack all that food and drive it home. What to you use the Maldon salt for.

❤just saying merry xmas. It’s my bday on25th. Love ur videos. I live in Ontario , Canada. But u might not think it but ur living g my dream.
I enjoy the hand sweep too with effort to educate your son on proper flurish 😊 Nyssa, you are doing a great job with the videos! You are appearing more relaxed and I love the side comments squirreling and it is what is. I use that often. Many blessings. Debra
My favorite video all year. I think I started watching your channel when the kids got bikes for Christmas 🎄
Well done Nyssa, I am sure you are going to love the Noshu and Carmen bars they are delicious but small... A fantastic haul, I truly don't know how you do it so hats off to you 🦸♀️....I have so much enjoyed watching you everyday... Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄. ..

Thank you for sharing Nyssa X

I dunno if they've ever had banana on their peanut butter rice cakes! I shall suggest it :D
I enjoy watching and listening to talk
Well done getting all that packed and home. Then to unpack and store. My my. What a tremendous effort. Hope you had a restful night and easier first morning back to recoup. I showed son your tables of food to have him say he has been watching people eat food on the internet to get interested in eating as he can’t eat at the moment. lol.

It's so interesting to see even the small differences between the groceries we have available. Our pop (soda) in Canada comes in boxes of 12, not 10. And I have never heard of chicken salt!! Thanks for another fun video. :)
Chicken salt is Australian but it's becoming more "famous" around the world lol
Oh my awesome grocery haul 💯 can't wait to see what you cook up Happy Holidays 🎄☃️🥳🥂
Thanks for sharing!
Semolina makes amazing roast potatoes. Just thinking for the kids.
I find you use less of the Mexican cheese blend than regular grated.
A handful weighs a lot less than regular shredded
I watch, listen and wish i could do even a month without shopping. Central qld here and no close really good stores where bulk buying is consistant. I do some of the same things and should really get stuff moving more on the home made front but time is not giving. Great video!

Lots of work in this heat!

That blue shirt is a beautiful color on you!
Thank you! :D A pity I get so filthy when spending all day in the kitchen lol, but I never remember to put on and off aprons so it ends up the same even if I have them!

Hi Nyssa, just wondering if you've seen the ocean spray cranberry juice concentrate. It's $8 full price for 1 litre but that makes the equivalent of 5 litres.

I normally would make huge batches of cordial with the mango pits etc, unfortunately, I'm a little stuck for time and space this trip and most of them are going to the chooks!
What do you do for drinking water? Are you on tanks? Our tank loads are $220 and an absolute nightmare. I constantly pray for rain lol
We have access to a stand pipe in town about 30 mins away, D goes there once or twice a week to get post and animal feed etc, and he takes an IBC with him on a trailer, so he grabs 1,000L and then we pump it into our main tanks :). Our loads are $500 for 10,000 L, the standpipe is about $3 for 1000L if you cart it yourself
Great shop! We have the costco chicken nibbles too, sometimes it's nice when carnivore to eat a few with half a steak amd a chaffle of you want some variety.
Yeah, I decided the dollar value was worth it just for an added something :D
Love your Chanel xxx lovefrom the uk

Its super tasty, hehe, and yeah, mostly just a high percentage of fish in a different kind of a texture :D
Look for fly strips for the bugs an flies u can hang them in corners where nobody walks or stands they work good even outside.❤
If there is gluten intolerance or coeliac disease in the family you need to avoid bought grated cheese as they have a flour coating that stops it from sticking together. I know this as i have a son with coeliac disease. Just letting you know in case of….. 😊
Luckily not something we have an issue with :D. And I know I should grate blocks, but I just..... lol, I will try and be better next trip! :D
Not judging you… i have 6 kids and i take help wherever i find it!!! For me it was a sad day when I realised we could no longer have it! I watching your video of what you got right now… I live in Perth. ❤❤❤❤
@ cost wise I just feel like while we’re still changing diet and over Christmas it was worth that couple bucks extra and the little bit of starch/carb to make things easier lol
You’re doing a great job! I wish you lived closer to me 😅
Hi my family are coeliac.Some grated cheeses use potato flour where we are💕
With that turkey, will you eat your fill and then freeze the rest of it in Nyssa size servings amount s? That is, if the kiddos don't eat it all on you, lol
lol! Yop! Though they might decide they like it! I’ve got the new slicer now so I could cut myself slices once it cools! :)
I didnt enjoy the Noshu or Carmen bars at all. I do however make a bar myself from unsalted pork rinds (broken into small pieces), macadamia nuts, and I mix together no sugar chocolate melts (melted) and a jar of any nut butter which forms a nice fudgy type of candy to pour over them. I also find that all the keto products in the supermarket and health shops are extremely expensive. Searching the we will reward you with some amazing channels that will show you how to make yourself :D
Yes I enjoy turkey for a change
Love your channell all the way from South africa. Please please find a south African shop down under and buy the original biltong and dry wors. You call it jerky you will taste the difference.
We do actually buy some authentic stuff! There’s a couple of places that sell it that we do, we didn’t this year I just didn’t make it to them, but D Hoovers jerky lol, and it’s just so expensive the really good stuff, worth it! But still at the speed he can eat it lol
Where do you store all this food especially when it is so warm, can you show us?
Thanks for a great video ❤🇸🇪
Logged it!!❤❤🙏🙏xxoo🎄🎄
Haha we have 3 feet of snow here in Ontario Canada
When the kids run out of something or request an item do they just verbally tell you or do you have a running sheet they fill in before you go?
I normally have a notes file on my phone that I then convert to my proper planning before I go :)
So jealous of the price of most of your produce from NZ...
I love you yardstick for measuring price. I think going into 2025 I am going to do the same. We are only a family of 4 but am thinking $4 per person per day. To include cleaners and pet food that is from supermarket (their dry is online) thats $336 a week which is a lot less than I currently seem to spend!
I think just being mindful is key, so if you have a number you are trying to stay around, that helps you to think when you are purchasing and assess :)
Well done Nysa
Did u get the smeg knife sets they are made in Germany 🇩🇪 u get so many per shop depends on. How much u spend I’m collecting them for my boys for when they leave home eventually it will save them money and I get them for free
Free is good for a good quality item
I actually forgot! I have about 45 credits, and I meant to go back and forgot :S
I love purckle , i also do octopus surveys, better pay per survey
Hi Nyssa - I am in Brisbane and am looking at joining Costco, but it is almost impossible to find prices to judge whether the membership will be offset. Could you please tell me how much the Kirkland Grass-fed butter is?
10.99 for 3 x 320g I think it is blocks, I'm sure its just under a kg :)
Many thanks - it is wonderful to see an Australian bulk buy/preserving channel - so tired of making the conversions from US measurements/names/products. Not that they aren't amazingly informative, but it's easier watching someone who is more relatable. You're doing a fantastic job!
Do your kids ever go to Brisbane with you and see your Mum, or go to the beach with you? That'd be fun.
How could she possibly take kids to the beach with the amount of work she has to do whilst in Brisbane? Jeez…
@@frugalitystartsathome4889 I thought the kids might like a visit, even 1 or 2 kids.... be so much fun. Brisbane has so much to offer and enjoy.
The cicadas sound like white noise. 😂
They do, i actually paused it to check! that it was the cicadas!
@ I tune them out now, probably because I am used to them being in country QLD myself. We all will surely miss your daily vlogs! But we know it’s too hard to keep them up.
@@Kazacks9602 Yeah, I didn't hear them while I was filming, it wasn't until I edited that I did!
I know it isn't sustainable, but I must say I have really enjoyed your daily vlogs. The shopping trips are always fascinating, partly from an organizational view and partly because even though I miss my children, seeing what you buy to feed yours makes me thankful to be an empty nester. Shame on me---Anyway, thanks for the massive effort.
Cottage cheese lol
I actually have some left, I discovered chaffles and we just haven't used it as much!
Ok Nyssa you promised to weigh and tell the results! We can see you have lost weigh. So spill the beans!!
I'm still in the same 10kg range I always am, the low end of it, but still within the same 10kg I've weighed for the last 20 years :). So maybe I drop down out of it next weigh in.
I have definitely noticed a difference in size...weightloss doesn't tell the whole story. 😊
So did you weigh yourself when you went to your mum's? I think you look like you have lost weight.
I did, but I'm still in that 10kg window I always am, at the lower end of it, but still in the same window I have been for the last 20 years, so we'll see what another 8 weeks does, maybe I'll drop lower :)
@@OurSmallFootprint any loss is a bonus. Keep going!
Lambington is desperately trying to get your attention
I went and gave her some love after filming, cleaned her water trough and hand fed her some pellets and gave her a fresh leaf of lucerne :D. She's just very vocal when we're around :)
I forgot i think ur mum drinks sam😅e coffee as me lol tried to see it 😅
hehe, she has the caramel and plain sachets, one of each in a big mug :)
@OurSmallFootprint yummy. Right now I'm addicted to nescafe blonde expresso.. I usally have to big cups lol 😆
Merry Christmas
