Thank you Lisa, mark and Chico for this lovely vlog so nice to see you again with sammie and pj and glad you had a lovely time together keep safe best wishes Sheila and family
Hello my luvies 🥰🥰🥰. It was great having you here lots of laughs and LOTS of food. I’m still recovering 😂 Hope you see you soon. X. Love to you both, chico and family x x x 💖💖💖💖
Hi guys what a great video. What a fantastic hamper You deserve it. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Merry Christmas to you both. Hope you have a good one. It will be here before we know it. Take care.
Hi we full-time, have 700 watts of solar panels, 270 amps of lithium batteries. B to b 1600 watt inverter / charger, 2x 11 klo refillable gas bottles. Even in winter months never run out of power. Usage, 8 fill kettles, coffee machine, lights, TV, all cooking, charging 2x tablets 2x phones. We certainly made a mistake by not using rough tyres. Instead we replaced the fiat wheels with fiat wheels, should have thought to use rough tyres. Next time we will.
we have 300 watts on the roof and the portable 400watt panels for the screen and only one gas bottle the power station is used for what i call accessories like chiccos heated bed ,hair dryer and hair curlers/straighteners that lisa uses near every day ipads and laptops mobile phones rechargeable lights and battery’s it will also do our induction hob and microwave in any emergency and charged our scooters
Great Vlog again Guys .i call them feel good vlogs because they always make me me smile ,lovely to see you enjoying life with your friends ,and Chicco looks so happy to hanks guys see you soon ❤🎉

MERRY CHRISTMAS MARK MERRY CHRISTMAS LISA and to your friends nice to see ya back even thow we live in the cold but christmas is all most here so bless ya both keep on rolling
Pi mash and liquor yuk sorry gravy yes I’m a typical northern lass. Love the stuff you got Chico so cute. Fantastic place Rogue Alloy fabulous hamper as well how kind. See you on the next one. ❤
Another brilliant utube video you two, you need to go to gwent Belgium, it's brilliant but you would need to park up outside the city as they only allow public transport into the city centre and cycles, it's like going back to the 70s, Wishing you three a very happy Christmas and all the best on your travels in 2025,👍👍👍👍 I think you have as many utube subscribers as the mcmaster now, keep the good work up, 👍👍👍,
You are all looking well and happy, albeit maybe a bit chilly round the edges 🥶!. I’m with you on the gravy front, liquor not for me either… but not because it’s too green😁. Costco is massive, I’d need a compass and a scooter to get round that! Food was a bargain! What a lovely thoughtful hamper! How kind of them! Yet another jumper for Chico! 😂 Don’t let him get tipsy on that doggie wine!😵💫 Glad you are all happy and well, see you next time.😊
Thank you guys for sharing your experiences another fantastic video as always London is definitely on my list ❤ excellent channel as always love from Dublin
Love your kitchen Sammy and JP. Looks like Lisa and Marc had a lovely time with you. Not sure if I fancied your tea today . Sorry . But I shouldn’t knock what I haven’t tried . Hehe like your hair bands Lisa . I have a couple that 8 use a ear warmers .hehe . I only drink Yorkshire tea . Best for sure. I think you can get a 3/4 size mattress that is the size I think you mention, there is benson for beds , they have a good variety of what your looking for. Unsure on size but I think a good start or dreams . Lovely to see you both .x happy Christmas and great new year .
Im a southerner but there is no way i would eat that jellied eels. I eat gravy with food its not a northern thing. But you looked as if you had a good time. You have to watch out at Costco as there is no VAT until you get to pay. So sometimes its more expensive than you think.
Love listening to you talking lundun. I am a born and bred cockney as is my husband. We brought our kids up in Essex and when you say we have Yorkshire tea here, Yorkshire puddings and gravy lol it makes me laugh. We only have Yorkshire tea in our house (well I like an earl grey but hubby is half Yorkshire so he’s fav is the Yorkshire tea). Oh that hamper was amazing. Thinking of getting some wheels and tyres for our Motorhome from Rogue. Warn mark though if it’s what I think it is that Chinese you spotted at the bottom is Ramen and the ones I buy are flipping spicy!!
Hi Mark,Lisa and Chicco……just watched down south😂video in Thurrock where I live. It would have absolutely made my day to have bumped into you up the retail park. Great video. Lisa there is a new giant Home Barginsbon the other side of that retail park,check it out next time you’re in Thurrock. Take care on your travels in UK🎄🎄
Omg just down the road from were we live in Basingstoke, you could have called in for a cuppa , and you’re hubby and mine could have a conversation about crocs lol 😂
OOOHHHH GUYS❤, FANTASTIC TO SEE YOU AND ALL THAT'S AVALIABLE IN THE UK. I MISS IT ALL SO MUCH. I was just in the bath after a gruesome day and suddenly remembered I had you to look forward to on your Tuesday Vlog!!!! I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT A LIFT IT GAVE ME!!!!! TRULY. ❤❤❤ You are probably warmer there in London than I am here in Madrid. It's positively glacial here today. Like I say when it occurred to me that I had your broadcast waiting for me, it didn't half cheer me up. Great shopping, UK food yum, yum, 😋 😋 😋 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 It's lovely seeing you all happy and settled back home in your own stomping grounds. Especially at this time of year. I'm excited to see where you're off to next but as I've often said I don't mind where or how just as long as I go on seeing you all. Have fun Guys, stay safe and be happy every day!!!!! Love, hugs and kisses to the three of you ❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘🐕🦺🐕🌹🌹🌹💯💯💯🎅🎅🎅
@@NorthernersonTourI still feel a bit bereft we're no longer in the same country. I liked having you close by. However you're home and it was mine too for a long time so there we are😂. As long as you still show up I'm happy. Thanks a billion Guys. Love the three of you to the moon❤❤❤
The hot dog at the Costco deli is cheap here in the USA but I don't eat it because it is SALTY. It costs $1.50 USD and comes with a drink ( soda pop). The sausage is their Kirkland brand beef sausage. The best deal is the whole Rotisserie Chicken for $4.98 but I prefer Sam's Club's Rotisserie Chicken for the same price. These are 'Loss Leaders' to attract customers to shop at these warehouse stores.
It was lovely to see your friends up and sammie. I thought you had to have a Business before you could get a cost co card it must have charged, good video as usual best wishes from Lynda
Hi Shirley sorry to hear you had issues, we always pre authorise any filming in retail stores to prevent any issues or staff being filmed unwontedly. I can only advise you check with the store to see what the issue was as it is publicly accessible and taking a picture for your daughter shouldn’t be an issue in our opinion.
I always find it annoying when they check every item in people's shopping carts. They used to just scan your receipt. Sometimes an employee will only check one or two items and I am relieved not to have to wait. I wonder if that employee just can't be bothered to check all the items. LOL
hi paul we got ours front the scottish motorhome show last year costco was there they did it for us xx if you have one near by you apply on the day and get the card it’s a yearly fee
@@NorthernersonTour thanks for quick response just looked it up membership fee 74quid Cardiff nearest? Merry Christmas to you all looking forward to bargain loving Brits
I keep getting rejected for a costco membership as I don't work for any of the qualifying business types. The Wembley outlet are very strict checking membership cards and sometimes business accreditation as I tried to go in. It's a good idea for hotels and B&B owners I agree but they're not allowed to be members.
Please be careful about cutting up your new mattress if it contains memory foam, some memory foam mattresses contain fibreglass, if the mattress gets cut open the fibreglass will get on EVERYTHING in your van and it will be an absolute nightmare to get rid of it.
in the big scheme of prices for this kinda tech and what it can do for you in your travels it’s not that expensive and it’s also like every thing in life all things are nice if you can afford them 🥰
COSTCO DIESEL IS THE HIGHEST GRADE OF DIESEL AVAILABLE. I TRY TO AVOID THE SUPERMARKET DIESEL WHICH IS MUCH INFERIOR. I was surprised to hear Lisa admitting to wearing the bed out.
wow to say we haven’t done any intigrations since september and have included one 2 min slot in this vlog i think your comment is Heavy !!! we don’t survive on thin air tam and that 2 min ad will help us to continue to do hours more content for the channel so it’s a no browner really !! rouge alloys wasn’t a ad it was telling our subbers the best wheels and tyres in our opinion to use for ya van or motorhome seeing as we have had them for 3 years

It is fine if you can afford an expensive power station, but most people cannot. Just saying 😮
