Lovely to hear Maggie purring away in this video and to hear that she's living her best life! My cousin's cat lived to 20! Lovely to see you so happy in your beautiful home xx

I love how Maggie is just sat there loving life, wanting cuddles, what a beautiful cat!!! We lost our gorgeous little dog a couple weeks ago. Don’t know why but watching Maggie in this video was so comforting x

Sorry to hear that. Thank you, she was just living her best life here haha x

Lovely to hear the joy and happiness in your voice Lara . Maggie is just adorable and cuddly. You could see how she’s enjoying the attention. 🐈‍⬛ Love your house update and can’t believe it’s 6 months already!! Time flies . I’ve followed you for a long time wishing you would find your special place and I’m so glad you have. 💕 Looking forward to seeing more updates , bargain , second hand home and clothing hauls 😊🫶

I know you said you were thinking about electric blankets but what about rechargeable hot ‘water’ bottles they’re easier to carry around the house and stay to temperature for around 5/6 hours. X

After years of renting and moving every year/two years - I'm now only starting to feel a sense of permanence with our house and we're 18 months in! It all takes time and it's still taking some getting used to that there's no rush to get things around the house done. Been following your house journey since Summer 2020, it's so satisfying to see these videos and seeing you live the life you were yearning for for so long!

Greetings from Nova Scotia!🇨🇦. Congratulations again on you home purchase! Running your home is always a work in progress- enjoy!

You make me happy to see you so happy! Thx!

We love our Ikea Kivik sofa... really comfortable and perfect for movie nights.

You have a new Recruit ! Great videos, Lara ! Always entertaining, informative and up to date .... Thank you ! ♥️😉

Lovely video. That time went so quick x

My mom recently got a Loaf sofa and it is so nice. It's super comfy and the velvet type fabric makes it impossible for her cats to claw it and destroy it like all her previous ones. Xx

Just buy a cheap fan or convection heater to put near the table where the boys are having breakfast. You’ll only need to have it on for twenty minutes on a school morning. You can work in a smaller room during the day and then just put the heat on for when the boys come home.

Great video! So glad that you are all so happy and settled. I can certainly relate to worrying about damage to your home when you first move in. We built a house in late 2018 and I had so much anxiety about potential damage that could happen to our house. I’m a lot more chilled out about it now.😀

Lovely you're happy after the stress of waiting to move, we moved 2nd December, just got kitchen n bathroom left, basically killed ourselves getting almost every room decorated x

Glad your happy xx

Love your house and I’m so pleased you’re finally settled. I think if you buy a sofa on line and can’t try before you buy you have the right to return. I’m a really light sleeper too but since using a white noise box (or app) I sleep so much better xx

Thanks for the tip!

We got our big lounge corner sofa from Ikea! Not necessarily the cheapest but easy to go and try all the different styles, and very customisable in terms of size :)

There are amazing VELUX blackout blinds you can get! They come with remote controls so you don’t need to struggle with a big pole. 😅

I need this!!

I have underfloor heating I only have it on 18 degrees which keeps it at a nice temperature not hot but comfortable and if I do feel chilly I put on a jumper and I have a cozy throw for on the sofa. I don’t like a hot house it makes me lethargic. I don’t have my bedroom heated I don’t see the point I have electric blanket. This does keep my heating bills a lot better.

Our whole house is underfloor heating and it’s actually pretty reasonable regarding energy consumption… the best way we’ve navigated it is to have it set to 18° constantly (in the months you need heat) and that keeps it warm enough. It doesn’t work well if you have it ‘on’ for certain times in the day as it takes a lot longer to warm up (and cool down!) than traditional radiator heat which in turns used more electricity. xxx

Thanks for the tip! It's our first proper winter so will need to learn how to use it better as it was costing a fortune and that was before the 1st price hike! xx

Can I ask what is your herringbone floor made of? I love it.

Where is the sofa from? We are finally buying our first home and looking for a blue sofa. Is it comfy?

I once bought a sofa online worse thing I could have done it wasn’t comfortable. Now I only buy local for sofas beds so I can try it. I bought from a local shop not a large main shop, I got it at a good price and great service

just a question is underfloor heating run on electric, can u run it on gas or home heating oil. I remembering when my 3 children were young always having their friends over and summer's them all out playing in my small back garden. enjoy 😉 it.

Are you actually joking?! As if a sofa company is going to be watching my videos and be like oh, let me contact this person and offer them a sofa 🙄🙄🙄
