Oh my word, that one looked like a trip and a half - and you didn’t even get to film most of it, so Lord only knows how knackered you must have been! I can only imagine the relief every time you pull up outside, knowing that you’ve survived another groceries trip (makes for fascinating content, though!)
I saw you and your mum yesterday (Friday) at Costco, you all looked exhausted and I thought could not wait to see what goodies you had this month. Merry Christmas to you, Daryl, and the kids and to your mum.
It was so hot! and we packed the fruit and stuff before we went in, and then knew we'd have to pack all the rest once we got out lol. We bought some prawns though and sat out the front and ate them as lunch hehe :D
So useful, we have been offered some things that I've turned down, just not something I can organically use and share, but we will get a lot of varied use out of this one! :D
Wow! I won’t never complain again about having to shop for Christmas. My kids are grown and I have one grandchild with stores everywhere. I can’t imagine what you go through to get your Christmas together and wrapped and loaded (twice) and the trip you make, not to mention the cost. My hat goes off to you! I know you suffer in pain but you keep right on going.Congratulations on your sponsorship! Score😊I hope you can rest a bit before you have to put away your purchases. So glad your Mom was there to help you❤ enjoyed your Christmas haul TFS!!!
I start planning christmas almost from like March lol. I budget it through to make sure I can get what I want and have the funds near christmas to splurge a bit too :D
You handle your challenging excursions so gracefully! Congratulations on the Jackery sponsorship; you will put it to so many good uses. Thank you for bringing us along, Nyssa.
I so love every one of your posts. Thank you for doing all that you do for us U tube watchers. Whoo hoo, a Jackery for you. You will be so happy, early Xmas present. You and Darren have achieved so much this year, be proud of yourselves.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and I want to say thank you for your wonderful channel it really does brighten my day seeing your amazing videos.
I enjoy watching your videos! I live in Northern California! We are surrounded with pine trees, Shasta Mountain and lake. However, we get 110 degrees in the summers. Keep the videos coming! God Bless you and your family!
I've been approached about a few things over the year and turned most of them down, I just couldn't cover it organically, but I can totally use this well!
thanks for introducing me to your way of doing things living off grid. So thankful your family was safe from fires. Have a wonderful New Year and keep up the good work
Oh AWESOME I'm so glad they finally got in touch with you ,you definitely need one and can tell everyone how good they are and useful especially when you're totally off grid ❤
Definitely! Super grateful! :D and so many ways I can use it, one out of the box one lol, we might actually be able to use a plug in vacuum instead of all the crappy battery ones we've been trying to get to work hehe :D
filming in public is one of our uncomfortable things too! sometimes I just film just on my phone, and voiceover later in those situations if possible. But so many times I've been too nervous to film at all in public! That's cool you got contacted by someone from jackery! Bit jealous!
Hehe, the problem with voiceovering is that it requires more editing lol, and once I have to spend the time to edit sometimes there's videos that never see the light of day because I just don't get to it hehe, I know my limits! :D. I do need to try better though, people love seeing inside the stores too, and I am making money from RUclips, so it is a 'job' so maybe I need to work on it more lol :D
@@OurSmallFootprint haha, it's not so hard or time consuming when you're sitting down to edit anyway! I just keep notepad open and talk out what i'd say at that part, then type that down, then after I've edited the rest of the video I just do all the voiceovers in one hit reading out what I wrote down, and then pop them in on top. I've got a microphone now, but I used to just use my phone to talk to for it, which was super easy. Having said all that, you're doing better than me at making youtube a job - so your easier streamlined approach may be the better option in the end for value!
My biggest issue is that I can't do my voiceovers at my computer etc hehe. I do the same with typing out what I want to say to a degree, but I have to go out into the garden to record it, or somewhere away from the kids/fans/generator etc etc. and then Its the time spent adding them onto the videos hehe, I do it for a lot, like all the cooking stuff, but sometimes I try to make a video in a way that I don't have to, just so its a bit quicker end result :D
@@theadventuresofzoomandbettie I never know why! lol. I always feel like not enough! It’s not polished enough, not edited enough, not scripted enough lol.
I have been offered a few things, but I turned them down, I didn't want to do things that weren't going to work organically (like Temu, whilst I loved some of teh products, it was so 'fake')
great haul , everything but the kitchen sink in that lot lol , good on you using that freezer for storage on way back very good idea , glad it was ok with the fire though ,
Im sure youre super glad this shopping trip is over. Its so humid atm. Well done on everything. Im headed to Brisbane unexpectedly tomorrow, missed ya by that much. Haha. Thank you for sharing lovely ❤❤
Every time you do your shop Nyssa girl I feel exhausted just watching you that heat is brutal!!! So pleased for you getting your freezer YAY 😁😀😀 You are the Queen of Tetris managing to fit all that on the trailer AND in the car👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉As always a pleasure to watch ❤️ Love from the UK x
Loved this video, and as usual, I'm exhausted watching you do all that you do as quickly & efficiently as you do it. Blows my mind. I have kind of a dumb question: I see the kids helped you unpack this trip, so I'm curious how you hid all the Christmas/stocking gifts from them?💚❤
I wrapped most of it and put it in the singapore (stripey) bags and in a couple of black totes! and most of it is still in the car atm lol. I'm going to duct tape up the bags and totes and put them 'somewhere' inside lol.
I try, but I just urgh, lol. Or I just totally forget, I had planned some footage of the christmas stuff in costco etc and I totally got out to the car and said to mum, darn, I didn't film anything!
I was thinking, I hope Nyssa opens up the freezer and puts some shopping in and you did. We are all sick here. Good grief why? Who knows. Just in time for not getting the house clean for Xmas. Oh well. It is what it is. Tiramisu, yummy. I'm going to just do a trifle and individual meringues. Of course, pudding and cake. Made the cake at least. Good idea wrapping the kids presents. Isn't it time consuming. I tried to wrap as I got stuff the last couple of months. But have a box of small stuff to wrap yet. Great news about the Jackery. I entered a competition recently for a Bluetti but alas was not successful. Both are meant to be pretty good. Can't wait till you get yours. Big W need to step up their game when it comes to heavy items. What a pain.
I make far too many desserts hehe, but I don't make them the rest of the year, but at least with cheesecake etc I can freeze it and eat it over time, especially with the new freezer! I normally make D wrap all the presents lol, but it just felt like it might help to do it that way! :D I was excited to be contacted by Jackery! :D
Yop! Hehe, is a good spot to stop, they’ve got space for me to park the trailer if needed, bathrooms are always clean! Heh and what I love about hungry jacks is that it’s the same no matter where you go, it’s never gourmet, but you know exactly what you’re getting and it’s tasty lol
I picked that one up this trip, it's the same style as I always buy, nice and floaty for when its warm and I saw they had a purple one which was different to normal!
We have a jackery, they are great but done things pull far more than you'd think. (Ok so we also have a smaller one but still) as always love your video!
I think we're pretty cluey as to what we can and can't use for it and how long these days, but it will still be a learning curve, being lithium etc, we don't use lithium normally, but we'll give it a good workout! :D
@@OurSmallFootprintok that one may win lol. I'm honestly just really naive when it comes to solar power (but trying) we have a sunny boy for hydro electric but are waiting to be able to dig a pond to connect it, so we got a small jackery. I think it's always a learning curve. Even years later, things just change too often anymore. Is it bad I like simplicity?
@@thewatcherandthefae it’s hard too, appliances ratings etc aren’t necessarily what works either, you can’t base all usage on them because the ratings and info is diff for every situation!
Just came across you vlog . I took get vertigo when driving I live in the states Arizona. I found that nuro lenses have helped so much with my drinking they are close to 1``'000 Dallas U. S. But so worth it. They have a prism woven through and they have saved me from panic attacks when the vertigo and nausea were bad. Hope you check it out
I didn’t get myself sorted in time to sell them largely for Christmas lol so I just did private sales via email/facebook. The home is to expand on it a bit and get it easier for people to choose to buy! I’m working on some designs for the kids cool weather hot choc cups atm :)

It's definitely a hard slog, in summer its so hot but at least the days are longer, in winter we're unpacking in the dark generally speaking lol.
You are as amazing as usual and i love seeing your vlogs. Congratulations on the sponsorship xx
I am amazed at how you fitted everything in.Amazing packing
Thats a long few days for you, made worse when its so hot! Its great that your mum helps you

My favorite ,,, shopping excursion.. love watching it all fit like a puzzle .
It's kinda impressive looking from the outside lol, just hard work from my angle though lol :D
We all need a treat when we are driving. I get really tired when I drive. I in brissvagus at this time and big drive home on money.
definitely need something to snack on, it really helps me get through that last leg!
You've been looking like a ray of sunshine recently while the northern bunch of us are bundled up in muted colors. Very interesting as usual.
hehe, soooo hot here atm, 32 degrees and only 9am :S
@OurSmallFootprint it's so cold in Scotland, its been down at -7°c 😮x
@@clairescott6540 It's one of those things isn't it, in summer you wish for winter and vice versa!

Awesome and sweet 😊
I'm the same Nyssa, every time I click and collect or have delivery for groceries, I'm reminded why I hate it lol
And I don't find it much quicker either, the amount of time I spend doing the actual online stuff lol!
@@OurSmallFootprint oh god no... It takes forever doesn't it haha

Your posts are always interesting
Thanks!
THank you! :D
You’re amazing I don’t think I could do all of that shopping ❤
It's hard work but it also means I only have to do it every six weeks heh
I've seen other RUclipsrs use the Jackery. They all seem very happy with them. Another big shopping trip over and done with. Christmas is nearly here.
You’re so lucky to have your mum. I bet you both really enjoy when you stay with her x
It's lovely! The company and the quiet hehe :D
Great video. Cant imagine shopping all in a couple days, I'd be exhausted.
It's hard work, but at the same time, means I need to do it less! :D
Ah that’s so exciting about the brand deal! Perfect pairing 😀
I've been approached about a few things over the year and turned most of them down, I just couldn't cover it organically, but I can totally use this well!
@@OurSmallFootprint I totally get it!
Have a lovely Christmas 🎄 with the family. You managed the busy shopping 🛍️ haul very well.
New follower from Missouri USA. So much work for all that shopping loading and unloading. Then you have to put it away. You have to be so organized.
I make the kids put it away, knowing that I'll have to go through and re sort it lol, but at least its safe for the evening! :D
thanks for introducing me to your way of doing things living off grid. So thankful your family was safe from fires. Have a wonderful New Year and keep up the good work
Bravo, you made it through your December shopping. How you pack all you buy is amazing to me. I can’t pack at all.
I was actually pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as crowded as I was expecting!
So glad you got your freezer.
It's going to make a big difference! :D
@@OurSmallFootprint Now you can make freezere sorbet - it's just fruit/water/sugar and a good blend
That was fun to watch, all your little helpers when you got home💚. Hope you have a lovely Christmas.
Hehe, they complain, but I appreciate their help! :D
Incredibly exhausting..amazing is one word that comes to mind..Merry Christmas and Salutations for the season..kind regards Karolyn
and to you too Karolyn! It is definitely harder when it is so hot!
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
