    will you ever do a sit down video and talk about the last few years of your life and the big changes you have been through? i feel like you have never discussed it with us, just went from being single grace who never dated to being married and settled down , without even acknowledging it properly to your audience. It would be interesting to hear you talk about how it has felt, and how you adjusted to such big life changes, moving out of your parents and 'growing up' so quickly

    What a sweet gift - a bespoke advent calendar for your hubs!
    My husband, on our 25th wedding anniversary, collected 25 small gifts - 1 for each year - that had special significance (everything from a tiny plastic dog to a birdhouse to some special wine...all special memories) and put them all in a basket as his gift to m. It was so sweet and so romantic - I was so very touched at his thoughtfulness.
    As for your salt dough decorations --- I did those when I was in college and gave them to my mother --- she used them on her tree for YEARS!!! Mine were mostly animals and I had so much fun making and painting them ... loved using the garlic press to make a mane for the lion and the wool for the sheep!

    This is probably the first Christmas I’ve been looking forward to in a long time. I get to spend it at home, in my own space, with my partner and step son. We only moved in together this year, so it feels more special! I’m so looking forward to sitting in my pyjamas and just relaxing in my own space.

    Good call Grace - Surveys don't often show major problems. I bought a property back in the late 2000s. I then found out that one of the rooms had 'rising damp'. Thankfully it was easily remedied. Loved seeing Banksy in your Vlog and your personalised Advent calendar for Mr. Grack.

    May God bless you both during your first Christmas married. 🕊️

    I dont know much about how ovens and air fryers work, or science but my intuition is telling me the airfryer sucked all the water molecules out of the chocolate so it wasnt able to melt it when you switched to the oven. I dont think there was enough wet particles left for them to melt.. the fat and sugar baked or fried and solidifed instead of turning liquidy...someone please confirm in a more sciencey way?😅😬🙈
