A robot vacuum cleaner ? ( My son offered me one to Christmas and it already changed my life . I named it "Flylady" 😂). Two weeks ago ,my daughter offered me a Steam cleaner and I enjoyed how they complete each other .... 😊 ❤
I didn’t know the technical word, but “tube squeezer” was my guess… and what you said haha! I just cut mine, and use the cut-off-top as a lid while I use it up. My toothpaste lasts for another week, even though I’ve squeezed it “dry”. I’m the sole user, so I “double-dip”! Then wash them out and recycle :)
Very nice! You gave me inspiration to start my weekly reset. With swiffer on the floors. I just ordered a very high-quality seed packet of poppies. I live in California and orange poppies are our state flag. I can’t wait until they bloom.
Last week, your idea of forcing oneself to try on accessories from our wardrobe that have not been worn in awhile is really working. I got rid of earrings that I used to wear for decades when employed. Now, they hurt my ears. I will extend that idea to other areas. Thanks Diane. ❤
Its true for clothes and shoes, too. Just because we liked it when we bought it, doesn't mean we still do. Our bodies change, and we change too. Last of all, we change our mind.... And then we declutter!
@@DianeinDenmark Thank you so much Diane. I do tend to Google recipes and never thought on this occasion. Thanks for mentioning it though, I would have never thought of cooking polenta in an Instant pot, and need to use it more x
I love the tube squeezers Diane. I have 4 metal ones and use them for toothpaste and also in the kitchen. Had them for years. I also get so much joy seeing your wee squirrel and I melted tonight seeing him all covered in snow x
Hi, Diane, I’d never ever guessed both gadgets! Great finds! I need a squeezer …. So far I cut almost every tube to get the rest out of it 😁. After a heavy flu I still feel tired, so I rest today and hope my energy will come back to make good plans. My head seems empty, when hubby some minutes ago said it’s white outside… I answered : haha, April, April!, not noticing, that we aren’t yet in April. And it WAS white! No snow, little ice balls, I don’t remember in English. Empty head🤯. Love, Monika❣
Got a phone call made and a package sent. Tomorrow after gym must make two calls. I hate phone calls so much, I really dread them. I just use my wooden clothes pegs to squeeze tubes and clip packages closed . I also remove caps and swish out the containers for the very last bits. I have heard that Prince Charles has a sterling silver one for his toothpaste and that a servant prepares his toothbrush for him.
I’m so glad I ran across your channel a few weeks ago - you are so cheerful and upbeat - it’s really refreshing! Love the daffodils and little greens your growing for Easter in this video! So cute! Thank you for making these videos you’re a bright spot in my day! From Houston, TX USA
You can also use a bull dog clip and fold over the tube so it gets smaller as you go along and you can use it to travel! The coloured clips look great too!
Highly reccommend the Bauhaus museum in Berlin if that's your thing. I thought it was great 😊 we also really enjoyed the Sandemans new Berlin walking tour! Very fun and loved hearing all about the history. Great way to acquaint yourself in a new city (it's pay what you feel like paying too)
Thank you for all the cheery motivation. Makes me smile. 😊 Oh I noticed the lovely material, blue on white background. Do you know where this material may be sourced please? Your bright cheery colours & your cheery disposition etc always invites me to watch more. Thank you. ❤
How fun! My family loves in Berlin. Must eat.. Currywurst, Döner and any bakery. Please take pictures so I can 🤤. Must see Schloss Charlottenburg, Brandenburger Tor, KaDeWe, the wall is okay but there's really not much to it and Berlin has a TON of museums for all interests. If you're bored than it's on purpose. They have boat tours that are very peaceful. Pfaueninsel is an out of the way stop too. My personal favorite is Tiergarten which is right by the Brandenburg gate. It's best to start from the Ubahn station where the Siegessäule is (caution it has a lot of steps if you go up the column to the top but you don't have to) and walk to the Brandenburg gate. Once you're at the gate and pass through there are tons of "touristy" things and more bus lines, taxis and Ubahn station. There are parks almost everywhere but that's my favorite and it's right by the Brandenburg gate. I hope you have a lovely time. A side note, I've never been there at this time of year so if the trees haven't "sprung" yet I'm not sure how pretty the parks will be. Normally we have visited in June and for me it's heaven.
Hi!! Thank you so much for your motivating videos❤. I was wondering about the swap parties, how often do you have them and how many of you are there? Love, Dóra from Iceland
I use a large clothes peg for my tubes .... but that gadget may have other uses.... maybe for bias binding ?? Never heard of the store before so will look it up. My doc has told me I need more protein as my hair has been falling out not a lover of meat or fish so eggs and cheese seem to nbe my protein of choice...... still recovering from covid...
@@janedough6575 I know but I'm not vegetarian or anything, I just don't like meat much. I don't even like the protein alternatives tofu etc... but give me a chunk of bread and a load of butter.....😆
A Berlin: visiter le Reichstag, l’île aux musées, le mémorial de la Shoah. Prendre une photo devant la plaque sur le mur de l’immeuble où Iggy Pop a partagé un appartement avec David Bowie. Manger un doner.
Prepping dinner, perfect timing ☺️ I once had a heatable eyelash curler which I liked very much. We live in Germany but Bavaria - so unfortunately ob great super secret Insider tips for your trip to Berlin 🗺 😅
A heatable eyelash curler sounds like a great idea. I wonder if running a regular one under hot water and then drying it would work? 🤔 An experiment for me to try tomorrow
I once saw a famous german model heating a common eyelash curler with a blow-dryer 🤔 she mentioned that she has really straight lashes and thats her trick for the perfect swing. And she applies the curler 3 times. Where you normally (on the roots/base) curl, then in the middle again and at the tips of the eyelashes. Before mascara of course 😅 Happy experimenting 🤞
Join us LIVE in the chat when the video airs! And can you guess my two new gadgets??!

Awwwww the snow on your squirrel’s whiskers! Sooooo cute!
The little red squirrel in the snow, so cute!
You really scored on the Jo Malone!
I love squirrels! Thank you for the squirrel at the end, it topped off a wonderful video perfectly. 🙂
Love the squirrel 🥜🐿️
Great that you won the Jo Malone perfume. They’re pricey but mostly really nice.
Your table setting is like a warm hug. Looks lovely and very special. Thanks as always for the motivation and guidance.
You are so welcome, Kitty!
I would love the polenta Instapot recipe.
Your Easter/Spring displays are really cheery 🌷🌦️🐇🐣
Hi Margaret! Google "polenta pot-in-pot method" and you'll find instructions! 😍

Hail!
How pretty…the snow.
Berlin: Hacke'sche Höfe might appeal to you. Check opening times before though
Thanks for the recommendation, Christine!
It was shower snowing here today as well. Sometimes feels like spring will never come. Loved the daffodils in your video

Hello, Diane. I didn´t know you had polenta in Denmark! It´s very good for that type of weather, I like it with sauce or melted cheese.
I’m headed to Copenhagen in May! Can’t wait!
Have fun in Berlin ❤can’t wait to hear all about it!

You got me on the eyelash curler I was sure it was a tea bag squeezer
Oh I missed the live chat😢
Getting through the Weekly Power Hour tasks now. Snow falling here too today!
The tube squeezes look very useful

Hi Ruth! I bought the fabric from IKEA a few years ago...
Lovely thank you Diane. ❤
God Bless. I am visiting the Isle Of Lewis this summer all being well. x
What an inspiration, as always... thank you so much. I am planning to declutter two items after all this.
I am searching for a basic white shirt for decades!pls tell me where you" ll find your perfect one!!
We here in Ohio have crazy weather also.
Going thru all my clothing & downsizing.
Happy Easter Holiday to you all ~🐣

💐❤ cleaning some windows today!
Yup we got 2 snow storms yesterday. But none stuck Haha Spring.
Thanks
I have bought portable eyeleash culers from Boots the Chemist. I thought I would use them all the time, but my sister now has them.
Hi!! Thank you so much for your motivating videos❤. I was wondering about the swap parties, how often do you have them and how many of you are there?
Love, Dóra from Iceland
Hi Dóra! We hold the Swaps every 8-10 weeks and the number of participants varies...we are usually between 8 and 28 ladies.
Eyelash curler!
I use the same type of eyelash curler for travel only. I used one daily before and it didn’t last. I buy mine from Sephora.
Je coupe les tubes de dentifrice sur la largeur quand ils sont presque finis et il en reste souvent pour plusieurs jours!
Je fais la même chose, Mireille! 😍
Maybe a silly question, but where do you keep your planning page after you plan? Do you have a binder or do you clip up it somewhere?
Hi! I keep my planning page with my diary (which moves between my office and the kitchen)
I use a large clothes peg for my tubes .... but that gadget may have other uses.... maybe for bias binding ?? Never heard of the store before so will look it up. My doc has told me I need more protein as my hair has been falling out not a lover of meat or fish so eggs and cheese seem to nbe my protein of choice...... still recovering from covid...
You should try to force yourself to eat beef, nothing heals the body faster. Or at least don’t give it up.😊
@@janedough6575 I know but I'm not vegetarian or anything, I just don't like meat much. I don't even like the protein alternatives tofu etc... but give me a chunk of bread and a load of butter.....😆
@@grumpy_poo I understand, but think of it like good medicine for your health.

We live in Germany but Bavaria - so unfortunately ob great super secret Insider tips for your trip to Berlin 🗺 😅
the right word was „no“ - german auto-correct 😁
I know Bavaria is wonderful, perhaps we will visit another time, Camargue12!
