The main thing on the list is! Take care of Michael! What does Michael want to do! You are such a great person. You are putting to much on yourself. Take time to figure out what you want.

You know Michael.. you saying hello, welcome back & smiling is all we need. After all .. it was your line! It can be The Petherick welcome ☺️ Don’t stress over it, honestly. Making lists is good, writing things down helps to get it off your brain. Look after yourself & take your time .. you know we’re all here as & when you’re ready 😊 Love the phone .. reminds me of Det Petherick 🥰 Hugs ❤️

Yep absolutely, all the negative nancies about what he should be doing as in work and videos can go jump, and anyone worrying about what he does with any funding just need not support !!

You know what they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day” just take your time Michael and everything will come together. ❤️🇬🇧

It's a delight to have you back Michael. Just stay being your natural self, I think that is what we all love about your family and most importantly take care of yourself. From South Australia 🇦🇺 x

Florian is fantastic. So nice and gentle. Can we have more of him.

We love you, Michael. Just pick up the camera, and say hello. Your smile and Florien's smile are addictive!!! Lists are great! Keep the videos coming.....

Agree with other viewers. “Hello. Welcome back,” with your charming smile is great. No worries if others say it. You are you and your warm personality makes it work for you.

I am so happy that you are beginning to make more posts. I have missed you. One thing, do not let the unkind people get you down. Sometimes people can be so ugly...

They have forgotten about the principal of do to others what you want them to do to you. Take care

Raclette! I had it as a kid in Germany on a trip and have missed it ever since. Just a suggestion, make the door to the bedroom a pocket door into the new wall. That way the door won't take up any space on the landing or in the room. Also, I still love the idea of the space between the two posts and the walls being open book/treasure shelves.

It is wonderful to have your videos to look forward to, Michael. I have to say that Florian is the sweetest person imaginable: he's always so amenable to everything and just gentle and calm. I love watching the two of you working as I think you compliment each other well. Great work in your cottage, too. Take good care of yourself 💕

Hey Michael, I diagnose ADHD in adults and they are often intellectually and creatively gifted people - which fits you for sure! They are also masterful at multi-tasking as long as they have help keeping things on track. I love the list idea, and it's possible the KZread channel can also be a tool for keeping you on track with your goals. I hope Chris has copyrighted/patented his idea because he just spilled it to 9k people. Just wondering if you've considered using a Victorian spiral staircase in the cottage? Thanks for your content. I love it.

Lists are quite useful but need to be attainable, otherwise they can become self defeating. I’ve worked with children ,teens and adults with ADHD besides having it myself. A problem I found with lists , while they are great for self organization, is we all think we can achieve more than we possibly can and if we can’t finish the lists we’re setting ourselves up for self loathing and negative internal dialogue. Words often told to me from childhood and young adult were worthless, stupid, lazy, never amount to anything, as an example, and these words can pop up whenever I didn’t achieve the expectations of the lists . So I was making self defeating lists and it was a vicious circle until I learned to make lists I could achieve and encouraged positive self dialogue. It took a long to identify and rectify the problem but so worth it .

@jillipepper, so true! I'd beat myself up when I couldn't finish my list. Once I learned to prioritize my daily, weekly, monthly, etc goals and to give myself room for flexibility, lists became the tool I need them to be.

@@jillipepper5353 You have great points here, writing lists is a talent in itself. Having realistic timeframes for each tasks is difficult when so many factors can skew it, and things get out of hand fast. By my own experience I would say add 25% more time than what you wrote in the first draft, and move one task to another day or delegate it to someone.

I like lists but I have to do them as a mind map as a linear one doesn’t help. My main problem is remembering I wrote the list…..it’s also vital as others have said to understand what is reasonable to achieve and to then stop and not pile guilt on. Just because it is on a list doesn’t mean it is a today job. And self care things like cutting toenails need to be on the list too. Looking after yourself takes time and energy and needs to be budgeted for in any day not pushed aside because something else seems more important. I saw a doctor this week to ask for referral for adhd assessment. I’m worried enough that I might lose my job over this if I can’t get some help. He did refer me, with a warning the waiting list is years. And then helpfully told me he didn’t believe in adhd and wanted to write a paper about it being made up. Wish he could live my life for a day. And I hope he steps on Lego.

Just a small suggestion that works wonders for my nephew and that is finish one task if possible before moving forward. Such as you stripped the bedding but failed to put the fresh linens but on. If may sound silly but staying focused even on mundane helps keep the chaos at bay. Jesse says having adhd is like having a constant party going on in his head. Good luck with your treatment. Wishing you good health

Brilliant description and brilliant advice. My head is so busy.

Hi Michael I think Roman blinds in the bedroom windows will work well as they have a lining and it can also be blockout lining with a fabric of your choice on the side facing the bedroom. It will work and look better than curtains in such a tiny window.

Glad for the update Michael, thank you. Wondering how you will get a large wardrobe up the stairs once a new wall in constructed by the stairs… unless the wardrobe is unassembled downstairs & re-assembled upstairs? The reason I ask, is because our first home was a house about 75 years old & had a gambrel roof. Getting dressers & mattresses up the stairs, & around the wall was such a struggle… Take care Michael and thank you for sharing your medical issues with us. 😘

The telephone scene was hilarious. Thanks for making me smile today. 👍🏻

What a combo you two are together in front of the camera. Your friendship is very endearing..

One day at a time Michael and you will have all together is what I tell myself and then enjoy what you are doing for you. We will be here. Love your channel.

Michael. Billy and Sadie both say "Welcome back to another video" at the beginning of their vlogs, and I see nothing wrong with you saying the same thing, too! It feels right. They each say something different to end their videos, so you can find something different as well. I for one like to be welcomed back to all the Petherick vlogs, so that should be one less, really minor, thing for you to worry about! xoxo

Holy Smokes. I bought one of these cooking grill things at a yard sale in the US years ago. I never knew what the heck it was until now. I bought it because it looked like fun. THANK YOU. I'll have to get it out and try it. 🤤

So pleased to have you back Michael. Really enjoy your video blogs . Happy Happy to see you today.

We are just so happy that you are enjoying filing again and look forward to whatever you decide to share with us.

Great to see you Michael and glad we got to see Chris!

Dear Michael, lovely to see another video from you. It really doesn't matter how you start, it could be with a question for all of us, it could be just a big grin. We will all love it anyway. Loved the telephone humour, shows both your personalities. Chris seems to be a clever chap and really nice too. Using lists is a great way of organising your daily life, so long as you don't put pressure on yourself. They get done when they get done. It is the satisfaction of achievement and that important tick at the end. We all need lists. The cottage is looking lovely, hope you finish it soon so you can wake up to the sounds of the garden in spring.

Great to see you Michael, also Florian and Chris. You’re looking great Michael xxx💕

You & Florien are too funny! Love watching! So glad you’re back!

I’ve lived in apartments so long that I’m happy if the only food smells in my room are from my own cooking. 😂 There’s a product called Pure Citrus that immediately removes food smells. The one I get smells of oranges. It’s a really natural smell. My favorite thing to smell is orange. I had wondered what you would do for a wardrobe. Meantime you can be king in the castle. I’d love to see you do rooms in the chateau. Especially the one with the huge gothic bed that Billy didn’t finish. It’s a shame they have given up on finishing the chateau. It needs someone to love it.

Thank-you, Michael, for a great catch-up video. You are such a sweetheart!

You were already handsome and looked great on camera. But your skin and the brightness of your eyes is pretty remarkable. Super jealous, you need to bottle that recipe.😊

I love racklett. Of all places, I was introduced to it in Saudi Arabia. Spotted in a supermarket and thereafter enjoyed many an expat gathering while cooking all sorts of treats on it. Good to see you back.

Well done...I am glad you discovered the amazing world of lists...you got this!!

Your skin looks amazing! I am so appreciative that you are sharing your journey with us. Cheering you on! And I'll be happy to come live in the chateau, would hate for it to stay so empty.

Your videos are always enjoyable Michael! I haven't got ADHD (that I know of) and also find list useful, particularly if I'm a bit bored but want something to do. Even when progress feels slow in the cottage, it's so much better than when it was almost crumbling!

Always such a delight to see you and Florian together . Cheers !

Hi Michael, great to see you! I'm with you on the smells of cooking, I close our bedroom doors as well! I love your original opening line in your videos, it's so familiar & genuine, but whatever works for you! Thank you for sharing, take really good care of yourself, stay well! Much love Kathy x 💖

It’s great to see you getting along fine.

Micheal, so happy to see and hear from you. You are a blessing to me. I always enjoy your vlogs. Be encouraged you are loved by so many of us. Hugs from Ohio USA💞

So happy to see you back; I've missed your vedios.. Hopefully now you'll be putting out more consistent vedios.. Take care of yourself Michael.. LOVE you guy's! ❤

I am so happy to see you working back on your cottage. Just take things a bit at a time. Your health and wellness is more important than any video. Wishing you great success in finishing your cottage.

Oh My friends and I love Raquelette!! It is a fun party food. We go to Quebec for the best ones but also at home. So happy to see you and Florian enjoying it!! 🇨🇦

Michael, your videos are a welcome pleasure during a break from my work (+ work which I Love). Thank you!

Loved your video,Michael your friends are Absolutely Delightful.

So so happy to have you back Michael. Love from South Africa 💕

Nice to see you, Michael. Lists are very helpful, and they make me feel like I'm accomplishing something, even if it's just a bit of laundry or making the bed in the morning. Please tell Florian congratulations on his massive paper/book project. That's quite an achievement. I do agree that it's odd to see the cottage empty, but it's great that you're getting on with the work upstairs. I look forward to seeing how everything comes together in the future, and your further adventures!

Oh how we love our raclette here in Quebec. Thanks for the reminder, lovely outside during the summer on the terrace. You are so right Florian you adapt what you like with it.

Just recently subscribed to your channel the work is fantastic! Love that it runs in the family and your artwork is just beautiful!! Florian is a big help to you and you both are adorable!

You are an amazing person! I love seeing this authenticity and growth. Keep it up!

It’s so good to see your smiling face and active. You are back!

It’s so good to see you. You are looking rested and healthy. Keep doing whatever you’re doing. I’m so happy you’re getting the cottage together. Can’t wait to see it finished and what other projects you have planned. Take cate.

Good to see you. Florian is an absolute delight

I will adopt your idea of using lists Michael, Really enjoy this sort of content just what I needed a Michael vlog! Take care lovely to see you xx

Welcome Chris!!! Your idea for Michael's channel sounds really interesting!! Love from Vermont

So happy to see you , you are looking great. I am excited for your secret project, I bet someone saw your abilities and couldn’t wait to work with you.Michael any way you want to present your videos is good with me, I have just missed you.

List are great! I live off a daily list. Just remember, if your list isn't complete its not the end of the world! And if I complete something thats not on the list, I add it and mark it off. Its your list, you control it. Don't let it control you and make you feel defeated!

I'm with you on this Michael! I cannot stand cooking odours in the bedroom , couldn't sleep in it at all . Good luck with the renovations, the cottage is looking great 👍

The prints are actually stunning 😍. Loved the phone call. Kim Georgia USA 🇺🇸

🥰💕Great to see you back Michael. Great to see Florian & Chris join you. While I’m cooking & after dinner is over I run the hood fan over my stove to help get the food smell out. I always shut my bedroom door while cooking so my bedroom & my clothes don’t get filled with food smells. It’s a real pet peeve of mine. Can’t wait to see the upstairs all finished. 🥰💕

Your viewers come because we like you! You are a breath of fresh air in a difficult world. Thanks for all your efforts.

Good to see you Michael. Enjoyed this video ❤️

Welcome back Michael and Florian. Love the phone routine. Nice to see you are taking care of yourself. Don’t stress yourself out. We’ll be here when you are ready. Your volunteer Chris really has a neat idea. Hope it works out for him. 😍😘

So glad you are back. Keep up the good work. Don’t get discouraged and keep positive.

Well done Michael! Great video, you seem much calmer and look healthier. I liked your to-do list. If I don’t have a list, it’s really hard to get things done. Good luck Darling!

Hi Michael I’m so glad you are back to work again I really like watching the renovating start again.

Beautiful!!

So great to have you back, Michael! No need for fancy intros, just say hello and off you go. It's great to see Florian again as well. Such a sweetie pie, he is. I find making list very helpful, and I also have a vision board that sits in front of me when I'm working on my laptop. Very motivational. Dreams don't come true if you don't put time and energy into them. You just keep moving forward, Michael. We're cheering for you, buddy. ❤❤❤

Florian’s car phone cracked me up! It’s good seeing both of y’all! Thank you for the vlog Michael!

Glad you got a new start on things. Lists are great.

Glad you’re back Michael! I live by lists as well!

I can see the medication working for you. Last week you were starting to calm, this week you are calmer again. I hope that you are able to find you as you stabilise! Sending positive thoughts to you c

So weird how to melt the cheese! We don't have that type of thing in the US. Thank you and Florien for sharing such interesting things with us. Glad you're both back!

So missed your videos and the repairs on the cottage. I can tell a difference in how you are behaving with your medications you seem so much calmer

Lovely to see you Micheal as always, we are always here whenever you do a video, we who follow you love the Petherick clan and it’s always a pleasure to see you ,great idea to make lists to follow, keeps you organised, lovely to see Florian, he’s a good friend, don’t put too much pressure on yourself honey, take care of you, loads of love xxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Michael, I have Severe ADHD it is manageable you will get there I was diagnosed as a child and have learned tricks my whole life. But, lists are my best friend. I make them on my phone that way I have them with me always. You can do this, I have faith in you. It will get easier. Glad to see you back at it. I have missed your video's.

I was just looking at your channel this morning missing your videos then saw it had only been 11 days since your last one, so just thought I’d wait. But you must’ve been uploading at that time! Excited to see it now! 😃

I miss your work in your kitchen and garden.. hop you get will everything 🙂thank you for everything you touch us 👍🏻

Bless you!

We love you Michael. Greetings from Western Australia.

I have ADHD and I am 72 and went through heck when I was young before anyone had heard of it. My son has it also. Glad you have been diagnosed now so you know what help you can get and know what you can do for yourself. Which brings me to list making. I make a list most days. So times multiple ones. They keep me focused and I feel better at the end of day when I see I have not wasted my day going in circles. I always include a combination of short and long task so I can cross off a few short things in-between the long ones. You take care and remember there are many like us with the same struggles. ❤

Can’t wait to here about your new adventure. I really enjoy your videos. I apply to my life ideas you present.

Welcome back, Michael!!! Good to see you moving forward. Enjoyed seeing the work on the cottage's bedroom. The "humble" and delicious looking dinner with baked potatoes, melted cheese and meat made me hungry!!! See you in a bit, then.

Chris' idea would be really helpful for all videos you are right ☺️.

My life has been organized with lists for many years. It helps get me going to also do ten things and count them as completed.

Hey Michael, we don’t mind hearing you say “ hello everyone”. You have your own unique style and I like how you say it! Just say whatever you want.👍🏻

Michael you're going to be so much more productive on the meds! I was also diagnosed latw in life with ADHD. The meds help so much. In my case it also gives me so much energy. You're going to be even more brilliant now!

Been with your from the start and so Happy to see you!

For me I don't mind what you do, I love seeing what you're up to whatever and whenever. 😘

It was great seeing your video. As I've said before, make them short like Billy. We are happy to hear from you no matter what you say. List are good for everyone, they give you a sense of accomplishment. I'm so sad the chateau won't be having guests. I was planning to come to France once the world goes back to normal. I hope they change their minds.

Thank you guys

Good to see you Michael !!!

I do love seeing your face, Michael!!!

I need one of those phones for my vintage office! How cute. Michael, you do you, you take time for yourself, after all tomorrow is another day!

Clever video. You two are a hoot! ❤

I agree! Michael is very creative. Enjoy Florian. He came across very well this time & even added a possible solution to the yard damage. Good job by all of you💕

Glad Micheal took the time to enjoy this past Christmas. So sad to hear he pretty much missed last year’s Christmas. This year our family was too stressed about gifts and the food and we didn’t have as much time to enjoy the season. I told them that’s enough. No one really needs anything and we will also pare down the menu next year so we can relax more.

Bless you Michael, love you lots. Much love xxx ❤️😘
