    I hope this means your apartment issues are fixed :) I don't ever buy shoes from any second hand shop or undergarments I am surprise your partner isn't going with but someone has to look after your kids I suppose and then she appeared. Do they clean the clothes at the store or no? It would be at the laundromat after leaving the store before I arrived home. I am going to the thrift store myself for plant pots only I think. I don't suppose stores there would allow pets would they?

    Oh your style seems quite British to me ❤ I appreciate it, though 😅 but Honda shirt 😁 and the navy/black addidas? I would have rather gone for the yellow addidas jacket in the vitnage store and the wiener shirt, or even the one with the chunky strawberries, which you looked at in one of the stores. You look really pretty in this vlog and your outfit is cool, too. How is the moving in progressing? Have you gotten a handle on the cockroaches, the mould and the electrical issues in the kitchen?

    I think this is very realistic. People who urge you to move have not rented in a while! I am sure you will manage the situation as long as that water damage is addressed. From living in China, cockroaches tend to be attracted to food in the open so be super consistent at taking away crumbs etc and close lid bin.

    Thank you! We got a dud apartment and now we're stuck and that's reality. Especially the reality when you live abroad and navigating a system in another language. Thank you for the tips! :) We've been making sure there's no scraps of food since and I've blocked all the holes they can come through so we haven't seen one since (long may it last!!)

    Hi Hermione, what did Haley bring besides the two cute doggies to the new apartment? It still looks like all your great things, but I don't see any of her taste represented there. It still looks like you're doing all the cleaning and putting away things yourself...be careful, girl.🤗...Love your channel.

    You guys need to find a new place. That place is literally unsafe to be in. The lease should be invalid if it's unsafe to live in, which it is. Put your stuff in storage. Find somewhere else.

    I totally agree, but it's not that easy in a foreign country to find a short term lease with two dogs. Moving in was tough enough so we're trying t make it work and it's improved 100% since this was filmed

    Bonjour Hermione, j'ignorais que tu souhaitais t'installer en France avec Haley. C'est une bonne idée mais sache que dans le sud-est il y fait très chaud en été et que l'eau manque souvent. Avec le changement climatique, ça ne s'arrange pas. J'ignore quel projet tu as, mais il y a beaucoup de beaux endroits en France qui pourraient vous séduire... et pas uniquement dans le sud 😉 Gros bisous de France 😘
