I have to say, I’ve also noticed more nasty, weird comments on the vlogs recently . I totally understand how you would feel annoyed by it Nadia. It annoys me and I’m just a bystander. You are warm and open and hilarious and kind. And most importantly-real. If people want to come on here just to criticize and spread negativity, I say tell them to f$&@k off!! 🤪 Just keep being yourselves and know that for every one jackass that says something mean, there’s a hundred of us who love and appreciate you ❤️😊
I love watching you Nadia but I’ve never been so stressed by a vlog before 😂😩 Have you tried sitting down and making a list of everything you need and then making piles of tops, bottoms, thermals ect?
Ikkleosu very good but in your list theres no sleeping bag?just out of interest is @nadia not meant to take one or where would she attache it to her Backpack?😉
@@ikkleosu I just felt so sorry for @nadia not being able to get her mind around it all,I just wanted to go and help her!! All ive every done was pack a suitcase and @nadia has problems doing that 😕💗
Please don’t take any notice of the criticism. If people can’t see what a lovely kind family you are then they don’t deserve to be welcome into your home.
Please ignore the moaners! Some folk have shallow lives! You bring so much fun and reality to these vlogs! That's why we subscribe, we love you guys! 💕
Nadia just write on large labels for each day of the week that you are actively trekking and two more for the travel days and place them on the floor and add the pile of clothes including underwear and nightwear for that particular day. You will need two warm jumpers and your padded jacket and hat and gloves for the nighttime . Place your hand luggage bag next to the pile and add the items you need as you find them. It will organise your mind to see the day on a label and the pile next to each. Please do this one simple thing and all will suddenly fall into place. Failing that use five of your Sainsbury’s reusable bags and just write the day of the week on them I promise it will help you so much and will make you feel more organised...if I could have climbed through the screen I would of because it was so painful to watch when you just need to stand back and think logically as you can’t see the wood for the trees when you get into the frazzled brain zone - all you need is five labelled bags for the five days and it will allow your brain to focus in a more structured way 😊 x
Vanessa Wilde thank you, I think it might help Nadia as it’s more visual so she can see the difference she has made. I am sure the population fall into two camps, list makers and those who need to compartmentalise their thoughts and translate it into something more structured and tangible, I think Nadia falls into the latter camp like me 😊
Oh dear... i wouldnt have a clue either look on youtube Nadia...ignore the people about the dogs i know it must be hard but anyone can see how you love your doggies zx
Nadia i luv u, please start again, wash the clothes u think u will need whilst doing that make a list of the 4 days of trekking and then pack what is necessary and then u can add your hand luggage and your travel clothes if you dont restart you are not gonna be head ready to pack , Mark ur awesome x
Oh god the stress of Nadia packing is getting to me now😂 The kitchen is now resembling her room upstairs😳. Marks face is hilarious watching Nadia move the clothes from one pile to another!! Nadia I don't think you are cruel to the dogs at all it was just a bit annoying because 'sausages' just went on for a long time but no way were you being 'cruel'. Nadia please make a list. For us menopausal women we need to write things down to be organised, it will honestly take some of the stress away.
Erm daft question! Have Coppafeel not provided you with a recommended packing list? I’m a fairly organised person but it doesn’t matter how organised I wouldn’t know what to pack. That would overwhelm me and give me an anxiety attack
I love these vlogs, but You have to realize that people are going to comment whether it’s positive or negative- it’s social media. I know people don’t think you abuse your dogs, but people only saw a clip with the sausages and nobody knew this was a training strategy for the dogs. You have to take the good with the bad Nadia or not read the comments. People are people and they don’t know, just see what is shown.
Bless you Nadia I wouldn’t know where to start either it must be a nightmare you will get it all done in time I’m sure you will . Sorry but Mark is hilarious you would make a great comedy act when he said you would need a rock to cover the poo I cried 😂 Oh and by the way you are not cruel to your dogs at all , brilliant Vlog...love to Lisa great to see her ❤️
I never felt so stressed watching one of your vlogs but at the same time it has me in fits of laughter 😂. Take no notice of what some people say , most of your subs loves you . I even like it when you sing , (although never go on the celebrity Xfactor 😂) Good luck on the trip Nadia , it be all fine . Sending much 💓💓 from Somerset
I for one am grateful you share everything and keep it real. There's always going to be negative people who probably don't have anything good to say about anyone! I'm sure you're more successful than they'll ever be!!
Oh pls Nadia ignore the haters, I can't stand reading their comments either..i would ask the others what they are taking, Keke is funny! love watching you guys xx
Hi Nadia your packing is totally freaking me out 😱😱😱 Firstly you don't need a new bag!!! the backpack you were measuring I brought on the Camino and it was perfect! I know your hike is slightly different. However I found a good list to take away being overwhelmed by things to bring as hiking for days/weeks is a new learning packing experience. One string top/vest (this is a base layer you can add for extra heat and sleep in) 2 tea shirts that if you sweat through one can change etc... 1 long sleeved top in case you get cold at night or starting in the morning. Lightweight hoody just 1. (You can layer up and down you can build up to 4 layers with this and they won't take much packing space) 2 pairs of leggings 1 pair of shorts for sleep or when you get too hot trekking. 3 to 4 underwear wash out daily if don't dry during night strap to your pack while walking. 3 to 4 pairs of thousands Mile socks never got a blister with these. Really good for sweating. Waterproof rain jacket and pants if required I recommend regatta. Toiletries. Lush shampoo and conditioner bars these are amazing Roll on deodorant Tooth brush tooth plaste travel size Hair bush extra pins and ties. Compeed blister packs Plasters Pain killers neurofen and paracetamol. Sunblock and moisturiser. Hiking shoes and shoes for the evening. Hat and gloves for evening. Lightweight towel. Please put that sleeping bag onto the outside of your pack. Or carry it on as hand luggage, but take it out of your pack and have your cubes packed and ready in a way there will be no stress night before you start about this. Once you get there you will face other challenges and fears so if your packing makes sense you will be calmer. Trust me after day one of hiking what you are wearing and colours won't cross your mind. I do recommend all black hides sweat, must dirt, goes with everything and black always helps with body confidence. You will do great can't wait to see your journey remember part of the journey is the challenges we face that are our learning experiences, and in the end make this adventure worth while. Take care and happy hiking. P.s also recommend bring a head torch for getting up to the loo in the night without waking others. And for hiking in the early morning before dawn. Bring sleep mask and ear plugs too. Create a little sleep bag that u can have under your pillow.
Mark, you need to come over and hike the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia (or vice versa)... www.appalachiantrail.org/home/explore-the-trail/thru-hiking I seriously wish I could beam myself over there to help you pack!! That would make me so happy because I think it's fun!! Yes, roll your clothes as tight as you can and squeeze into the cubes. It's easier to roll the thin layers than a thick layer, so there's a decision for you (thin vs. thick!) Get a vacuum seal bag for the sleeping bag... suck all the air out of that thing and it should be flat as a pancake to stick in your backpack! Then you can donate the bag to someplace in India before you come home so you won't have to worry about re-packing it! xx
Hi guys, pack warm It’s freezing in the Himalayas ....... we went to the mountains in India In October and even though it was boiling in Delhi it was soooooo cold up there. Sleeping bag will be the best thing you take. Take that fluffy top with you. Its nice to be comfortable and cosy. For the tracking you will prob wear the same clothes all the time.its too cold to care about what you wear. You can always buy clothes there for warm weather but you won’t find good warm clothes. Hope this helps........... Good luck.
Nadia I do feel for you, hope the family step in and help you to get organised and ready; they are all going to miss you like mad but it'll be worth it. x
You 're absolutely fudging right, Mark! The sleeping bag should be tightly strapped onto the outside of the rucksack, and not take up loadsa room inside it!
Nadia you do a lot of folding, moving, picking up, trying, moving again, making piles, moaning, moaning , moaning, unpacking, packing and still absolutely nothing gets done! Its like you want someone to do it for you... making a list is the best way forward for someone so disorganised as you... Mark your patience holds no bounds!!!!
Make a list then check with the others what they are taking to make sure you haven't forgot anything. I'm really worried about you having everything you need its stressing me out. Don't give up Nadia I for one love getting a heart or reply. You are a lovely kind person dont let the few get you down. X
You guys are such a lovely family - authentic, charming, entertaining, informative but, most importantly loving. Mark and Nadia we can see how you have such chemistry and adoration for each other. You are doing/have done such a great job of raising your daughters. I especially love how your kiddos interact with their grandparents - kind, caring, considerate. Nadia I know you’re struggling with the packing (can literally feel your pain) but I’m falling over laughing too, sorry. When it comes to the crunch, you’ll get there! Like others have said, forget the hatters. Imagine what Mark could get up to while you’re away - no one to say “Maaaark! Don’t put that in!!”.
Mark not a big fan of the look of the National Theatre bit like a 1960s multi storey car park lol we used to have a lot of those in Brum tbh so that’s probably why I think that 🙈. I love the old colonial look and some of the regency style architecture. We love London ❤️ go every year and the best thing is the mix of old and very contemporary, no place like it love it and thank you for taking us around on your travels, I can never get enough of it feel like I’m there 👍 tell our lovely Nadia she is not fat but a very gorgeous lady, I’m a long time sub and have nothing but good to say or think about your lovely family 💕 Mark do the absence podcast when Nadia gets back that would be fab 🧡💚💜💜 ps love to nanny Di hope she’s ok 🧡💚 os take no notice Nadia we know you love your dogs, family etc you are an all round lovely lady you know I’ve said it before. Nooooo please don’t ever leave YT you give me a daily dose of fun, laughter and happiness 💕
There are loads of videos about how and what to pack, and more importantly how to wear your backpack properly. Please take a while to check it all out.
🙈 I’m so stressed for you Nadia! I need a lie down myself after that vlog, it’s amazing what your doing but a small part of me just wants you to stay safe at home with Mark and the girls!!
AHH Nadia don't despare , I know how you are feeling, I come to India every year for ,4 and half months and every year I tell myself im not taking that many clothes and still end up over weight. Hate packing. Try place what you want to ware each day in your case and make a list of what you have put in. I did it first time this year and I found it works!! No your not cruel to the dogs and keep doing what you do don't change we love you and your family. Block the horrible people they shouldn't be watching ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really struggle with packing too, and the only way I can get any packing done to decent standard is by making a list. This will look something like: pants (5), bras (2), thermal leggings (2), thermal top (2), sleeping bag, wash bag, pillow and so on Then once I have my list I go and get the items that I included on the list (and any other things that are necessities that I forgot to include when I was writing). If there are any extra things that I think might be useful but I'm unsure, I'll wait until I have packed my bag and if there is still space I will pack them, and if not then I'll leave them behind I hope that this might helpful
Nadia: You are so brave going on Trek. I know you will be so proud of yourself once it is all over. I could never do half the things you do. Good luck and I will be thinking of you while you are away. Sending you lots of love.💖 I can’t wait to hear all about your trip once you return… Then i will be able to relax.💖
Hey lovely Nadia ❤️ I’ve been watching this... and my kids are on half term and they both say... she’s just like you Mum and packing! You are not alone 😂😂😂 xx Ignore the negative people we love you here in our house !!! Good luck for Friday and just take in your heart how much we ALL LOVE YOU X
Nadia you are doing an amazing trek and you will be brilliant. First, make a list of everything you need and check it off once you have it washed and packed. I love watching your vlogs and big love to all the family
What a load of crap about nadia being cruel to the dog's, I've been watching this lovely, funny and caring family for 2 years and haven't seen any harm done to them. Leave her alone if you don't like it don't watch them. Nadia be strong and good luck with your packing maybe write a list of what you need to take, this is what i do cause my head gets a bit muddled when it comes to packing.👍😘
Dear Nadia, please don' put the clothes on the floor, it is not hygienic, the floor can be full of germs and the dogs are walking on it, please think about your health.
I live in Pembrokeshire, West Wales Coast...half term tourists spread over this week and next. Our kids not off until next week. But good for business.
For the love of God, get rid of the cubes ... they are for packing suitcases neatly. Looks like you bought the smallest ones too, they will serve no purpose for you! Wish i could come and help lol xx just pack 4 outfits for the trekking days. Thin layers and one thick which can be used on all days. Only the bottom layer will get sweaty!! 😂
Sleeping bag is loosely packed - that could shrink down a lot more! I don't know what the bright green cylinder thing (frame 33:59) is but they make compression bags like that for sleeping bags - I'd see if you could tightly roll and stuff your sleeping bag into something that size!
Poor Nadia. She has so much going on at the moment so it's especially hard to concentrate on one thing, such as packing. Think about what you need for each day. Make a list of the things you need to buy (trekking pants lol etc). Once you have everything it will be easier to pack. Pack your outfit for each day then the things you need every day- warm layers, walking sticks, sleeping bag, toiletries etc. Best of luck Nadia- such a wonderful and inspirational thing to do! xxx
Omg i want to climb in the screen and pack Nadias bag for her! 😬 Write a list of what you need in your backpack and then a list for the hand luggage. Start by washing everything and concentrating one bag at a time 😂 I absolutely love Kiki, her humour is the best ❤
Mark you're fabulous... "why don't you go and have a bit of a cry, sometimes it helps" 😍 Nadia, why don't you make a list. Also is there any information provided by organisers or anyone who's done the trek before? Layers are definitely the key, so when you get hot you peel a layer or two off and pop them back on as you cool down. Make a list and tick things off as you pack them ✅ xx
Oh dear lol....list, you need to make a list..roll up the clothes, they will fit in better. Look up how to pack for the specific kind of trip you are taking. Hasnt mark trekked before? If so can he not help.? I'm sure it will all come together in the end. 😊 xx
You’re not cruel to the dogs Nadia, if people have watched a lot of your vlogs, they will see how much love you give your dogs. Don’t listen to negative people.
Nadia just pack girl and stop stressing you will do great I have faith in you and wish I had your energy and do not let people’s comments get to you your dogs are beautiful and well looked after anyone can see that
Nadia ask the people that are packed and ready, what they pack, surely someone has a list to go by in your whatsapp group. It will all be fine and you will do great , we are all behind u xxx
Nadia and Mark, when i watch you, your family and friends I feel like I've been invited to your home and it's a privilege. I mostly laugh my head off with Mark's jokes, Nadia's baby voice and singing and the rest of the family with their hilarious one liners. Or you will be discussing something very heart felt which make me emotional or think deeply. I live quite a distance away from my own family and miss them. Watching your vlogs which are very honest and beautifully made I feel like I am part of your beautiful family so thank you. To me your vlogs are a real tonic and something I really look forward to. X
Exactly how I feel about @Nadia&family, my family are quite a distant from me too and so like you I feel like I been invited into their home. So it's a tonic and something to look forward to when I see another vlog posted.
Nadia forget those few who always find something to moan about. I am so grateful that you and your family put yourselves out there for us. You help me so much in many ways. Much love xxx
Mark, The National IMO, is a great piece of architecture inside and out. Poor Nadia just ring up Anthea Turner to come and pack your bags. Chi Chi, she is so bored standing by the back door looking like Mince Morsels. She would rather go out and roll in Fox Pooh. Well done Nadia. It will be over soon and you will be back to your own bed in no time, relieved and fitter, having had a brilliant time with a few new friends.
Noooooooooo Nadia don't let the haters win, you can't let delusional people control your life and deprive us of your oh so sweet Nadianess 🙏💃👩🎤👩🍳🍾💄👙🎬😁❤️
Make a list of how many individual items you need. First pants, sox, bras, cool tops, warm tops, bottoms, coats and thick over tops, night wear, comfort items like a blanket, shoes, odd items like swimmers, water proofs, scarves. Then list all toiletries, jewellery, pills, glasses, make up, walking essentials, camping items etc. Once you know on paper how much you need, choose and wash all items then pack! Just need to simplify and approach this in steps.
Good luck on friday Nadia, you will be fine. Cant you get any packing tips from your fellow travellers? Please don't take the nasty comments to heart, you will ALWAYS get certain people criticising I'm afraid to say. Ignore and enjoy all the lovely comments ❤
Feel sorry for you with the bag situation .you are not cruel to the dogs .you can see you love them .so wouldn't listen to the criticism ..good luck with the packing
I go crazy when I have to pack. I have to do it soon & to be honest I’d rather not go than have to pack. I’ll throw the stuff on the floor then shovel it up like Nadia - sorted. Aussie Bob x
@@oliviamae3281 So Sad. Thanks for your reply Olivia. What a mixed up world we live in. I would never denigrate the homeless either. The 'System' YES, the homeless No.
You need Jane Moore there to help you Nadia. Ignore the horrible comments, just continue being you, funny and natural. Best VT’s ever, really make me laugh I look forward too them everyday. 😊😘
Ignore the haters Nadia. You are a funny, kind and very talented woman. Your life is so real and I love watching you, Mark and the girls. But please - make a list for your trek!! 😍
Nadia if you see this, you definitely need to watch a video of how to pack for tracking in the Himalayas. Just watched one, all the very best take care and God bless you all xxx
- MAKE A LIST - WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN! - WASH WHATEVER NEEDS A WASH - TRY CLOTHES ON BEFORE U PACK IT Hope that helps 🙂 P.S I’m pretty organised and I still make a mess when packing and take out things I might take.
That bag doesn't look very big to me. I'm sure you'll work it all out, but even if it's warm during the day the temp can drop dramatically at night. Admire your resilience in doing it!!
Hi Nadia those packing cubes are great, first do your washing then try on outfits and when your happy with one roll it with underwear and that’s an outfit for a day do this for all the days your away, so handy when your there to pull out a roll each day, I easily fit my outfits for a wk in the large packing cube and put xtra underwear tops etc in the others, don’t put sleeping bag in ruck sack hang it on it or hang it on your carry on
Nadia saying she needs to buy some trekking pants made me burst out laughing and Mark adding "weren' t the ones you wore on Friday trekking pants" you guys are hilarious although I have to say I've got a headache coming on now, I think I'm getting stressed for you! Please help Nads get the bag sorted 🤗😘
Get Kaye down to pack the case .... she looks like an organised kind of person!!!
Absolutely brilliant idea!
Spot on!
"Maaark! Don't, you're bringing in weirdos" 😂😂😂 "babe, the biggest weirdo is filming"
I have to say, I’ve also noticed more nasty, weird comments on the vlogs recently . I totally understand how you would feel annoyed by it Nadia. It annoys me and I’m just a bystander. You are warm and open and hilarious and kind. And most importantly-real. If people want to come on here just to criticize and spread negativity, I say tell them to f$&@k off!! 🤪 Just keep being yourselves and know that for every one jackass that says something mean, there’s a hundred of us who love and appreciate you ❤️😊
That is very well put, Katy. I couldn't agree more. In this world of 'keeping up appearences' this family are a breath if fresh air! Xx
Well said KatieGuzy
KatieGuzy well said why should they spoil it for everyone else❤️xx
I love watching you Nadia but I’ve never been so stressed by a vlog before 😂😩 Have you tried sitting down and making a list of everything you need and then making piles of tops, bottoms, thermals ect?
Eva Rodemer lol, thats the problem, piles and piles. Xxxxx
This is madness! Ask a fellow trekker what they have packed and do the same? Don’t worry about color, pack sensibly
3x walking socks
1x thin socks (for travel)
1x fleecey socks (for sleeping)
4x knickers
1x thermal bottoms
1x thermal top
2x leggings
1x cargo type trousers (for travel, meal out etc)
2x sports bras
1x normal bra (for travel)
3 x vests (1 for travel)
2x thin t-shirts
1x thin hoody (for hiking)
1x sweatshirt
1x cotton shirt (for traveling)
1x grey fleece top (or sleeping)
Camp slippers
Hiking boots and spare laces
Waterproof jacket
Gloves
Hat
Pashmina (in hand luggage)
How's that?
Ikkleosu very good but in your list theres no sleeping bag?just out of interest is @nadia not meant to take one or where would she attache it to her Backpack?😉
@@deebarton8303 LOL I was only covering clothing! I am with Mark, tie it to the outside. That's what you are meant to do. 😊
@@ikkleosu I just felt so sorry for @nadia not being able to get her mind around it all,I just wanted to go and help her!!
All ive every done was pack a suitcase and @nadia has problems doing that 😕💗
Is The trip not 10 days long? If so, Nadia will need more pants as I’m sure she won’t be able to wash her stuff.
@@geraldinemallon812 2wks,I suppose you just have to clean underware as best you can and reuse 😉
Please don’t take any notice of the criticism. If people can’t see what a lovely kind family you are then they don’t deserve to be welcome into your home.
Sooo agree🦋🦋🤘🤘🧡💜🧡🧡💜🧡
100%
Chrissie exactly xx
Please ignore the moaners! Some folk have shallow lives! You bring so much fun and reality to these vlogs! That's why we subscribe, we love you guys! 💕
It makes me feel better that Nadia, a legend, can’t pack & neither can I. Aussie Bob x
Nadia just write on large labels for each day of the week that you are actively trekking and two more for the travel days and place them on the floor and add the pile of clothes including underwear and nightwear for that particular day. You will need two warm jumpers and your padded jacket and hat and gloves for the nighttime .
Place your hand luggage bag next to the pile and add the items you need as you find them. It will organise your mind to see the day on a label and the pile next to each.
Please do this one simple thing and all will suddenly fall into place. Failing that use five of your Sainsbury’s reusable bags and just write the day of the week on them I promise it will help you so much and will make you feel more organised...if I could have climbed through the screen I would of because it was so painful to watch when you just need to stand back and think logically as you can’t see the wood for the trees when you get into the frazzled brain zone - all you need is five labelled bags for the five days and it will allow your brain to focus in a more structured way 😊 x
MissH brilliant idea never tried that, I always do a list
Vanessa Wilde thank you, I think it might help Nadia as it’s more visual so she can see the difference she has made. I am sure the population fall into two camps, list makers and those who need to compartmentalise their thoughts and translate it into something more structured and tangible, I think Nadia falls into the latter camp like me 😊
Oh dear... i wouldnt have a clue either look on youtube Nadia...ignore the people about the dogs i know it must be hard but anyone can see how you love your doggies zx

The sleeping bag should be tightly strapped onto the outside of the rucksack, and not take up loadsa room inside it!
Nadia you do a lot of folding, moving, picking up, trying, moving again, making piles, moaning, moaning , moaning, unpacking, packing and still absolutely nothing gets done! Its like you want someone to do it for you... making a list is the best way forward for someone so disorganised as you... Mark your patience holds no bounds!!!!
Make a list then check with the others what they are taking to make sure you haven't forgot anything. I'm really worried about you having everything you need its stressing me out. Don't give up Nadia I for one love getting a heart or reply. You are a lovely kind person dont let the few get you down. X
You guys are such a lovely family - authentic, charming, entertaining, informative but, most importantly loving.
Mark and Nadia we can see how you have such chemistry and adoration for each other. You are doing/have done such a great job of raising your daughters. I especially love how your kiddos interact with their grandparents - kind, caring, considerate.
Nadia I know you’re struggling with the packing (can literally feel your pain) but I’m falling over laughing too, sorry.
When it comes to the crunch, you’ll get there!
Like others have said, forget the hatters.
Imagine what Mark could get up to while you’re away - no one to say “Maaaark! Don’t put that in!!”.
Can I please come and pack for u?U r so stressed and I can’t watch how hard u r making this easy task.(Pleassssssse)x
Mark not a big fan of the look of the National Theatre bit like a 1960s multi storey car park lol we used to have a lot of those in Brum tbh so that’s probably why I think that 🙈. I love the old colonial look and some of the regency style architecture. We love London ❤️ go every year and the best thing is the mix of old and very contemporary, no place like it love it and thank you for taking us around on your travels, I can never get enough of it feel like I’m there 👍 tell our lovely Nadia she is not fat but a very gorgeous lady, I’m a long time sub and have nothing but good to say or think about your lovely family 💕 Mark do the absence podcast when Nadia gets back that would be fab 🧡💚💜💜 ps love to nanny Di hope she’s ok 🧡💚 os take no notice Nadia we know you love your dogs, family etc you are an all round lovely lady you know I’ve said it before. Nooooo please don’t ever leave YT you give me a daily dose of fun, laughter and happiness 💕
There are loads of videos about how and what to pack, and more importantly how to wear your backpack properly. Please take a while to check it all out.
Don’t worry what anyone else has to say I love watching you guys ! 🙌 good luck on your trek ! 💕
🙈 I’m so stressed for you Nadia! I need a lie down myself after that vlog, it’s amazing what your doing but a small part of me just wants you to stay safe at home with Mark and the girls!!
AHH Nadia don't despare , I know how you are feeling, I come to India every year for ,4 and half months and every year I tell myself im not taking that many clothes and still end up over weight. Hate packing. Try place what you want to ware each day in your case and make a list of what you have put in. I did it first time this year and I found it works!!
No your not cruel to the dogs and keep doing what you do don't change we love you and your family. Block the horrible people they shouldn't be watching ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love Nadias singing. Mark I love how you pixelated it and Nadia was getting annoyed. I love how you annoy her as I love Nadias responses back
Don’t change your content or ‘real’ aspect of your vlogs / just block the haters!
I really struggle with packing too, and the only way I can get any packing done to decent standard is by making a list. This will look something like: pants (5), bras (2), thermal leggings (2), thermal top (2), sleeping bag, wash bag, pillow and so on
Then once I have my list I go and get the items that I included on the list (and any other things that are necessities that I forgot to include when I was writing). If there are any extra things that I think might be useful but I'm unsure, I'll wait until I have packed my bag and if there is still space I will pack them, and if not then I'll leave them behind
I hope that this might helpful
Nadia: You are so brave going on Trek. I know you will be so proud of yourself once it is all over. I could never do half the things you do. Good luck and I will be thinking of you while you are away. Sending you lots of love.💖 I can’t wait to hear all about your trip once you return… Then i will be able to relax.💖
Hey lovely Nadia ❤️
I’ve been watching this... and my kids are on half term and they both say... she’s just like you Mum and packing! You are not alone 😂😂😂 xx
Ignore the negative people we love you here in our house !!! Good luck for Friday and just take in your heart how much we ALL LOVE YOU X
Nadia you are doing an amazing trek and you will be brilliant.
First, make a list of everything you need and check it off once you have it washed and packed. I love watching your vlogs and big love to all the family
Nadia you certainly are not fat! You look really fab! My inspiration right now! 💕
I always wonder if Nadia realizes that even if she tells Mark "you cannot put that in" that he does every time.. although he does blur out stuff. lol
I feel your pain Nadia, I am exactly the same 🤯
Oh bless you Nadia that was painful to watch.
Mark, you have the patience of a Saint xxx
What a load of crap about nadia being cruel to the dog's, I've been watching this lovely, funny and caring family for 2 years and haven't seen any harm done to them. Leave her alone if you don't like it don't watch them. Nadia be strong and good luck with your packing maybe write a list of what you need to take, this is what i do cause my head gets a bit muddled when it comes to packing.👍😘
Dear Nadia, please don' put the clothes on the floor, it is not hygienic, the floor can be full of germs and the dogs are walking on it, please think about your health.
Omg ...her packing 😂😂😱😱
Nads don't panic. You'll get sorted sweetheart. Huge love to you. You've got a Lot on your plate just now. Chill 💗💗💗
I live in Pembrokeshire, West Wales Coast...half term tourists spread over this week and next. Our kids not off until next week. But good for business.
I love it when you and Lisa are together, you guys always make me laugh so much😂x
MAARK! In menorca there's a walk called the cami de cavells it's a walk all the way around the island costal and inland you would love it x
For the love of God, get rid of the cubes ... they are for packing suitcases neatly. Looks like you bought the smallest ones too, they will serve no purpose for you! Wish i could come and help lol xx just pack 4 outfits for the trekking days. Thin layers and one thick which can be used on all days. Only the bottom layer will get sweaty!! 😂
Sleeping bag is loosely packed - that could shrink down a lot more! I don't know what the bright green cylinder thing (frame 33:59) is but they make compression bags like that for sleeping bags - I'd see if you could tightly roll and stuff your sleeping bag into something that size!
"It's like she's been vapourised" 😂 Can't stop laughing. Comedy gold 👌
Poor Nadia. She has so much going on at the moment so it's especially hard to concentrate on one thing, such as packing. Think about what you need for each day. Make a list of the things you need to buy (trekking pants lol etc). Once you have everything it will be easier to pack. Pack your outfit for each day then the things you need every day- warm layers, walking sticks, sleeping bag, toiletries etc. Best of luck Nadia- such a wonderful and inspirational thing to do! xxx
My anxiety levels have just increased by a zillion!!! 🤣🤣xx
Nadia!! We all love you!! Funny, sweet, kind, compassionate and strong!! Hilarious vlog tonight guys!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😍🌟
i want to start walking and i was looking at your boots wondering where you got them and what they are called please Nadia
Same here
Oh dear nads I hope you get organised in time for the trip
Stop overthinking the small stuff, all your doing is using it for excuses not to deal with the important things
Omg i want to climb in the screen and pack Nadias bag for her! 😬 Write a list of what you need in your backpack and then a list for the hand luggage. Start by washing everything and concentrating one bag at a time 😂 I absolutely love Kiki, her humour is the best ❤
Mark you're fabulous... "why don't you go and have a bit of a cry, sometimes it helps" 😍 Nadia, why don't you make a list. Also is there any information provided by organisers or anyone who's done the trek before? Layers are definitely the key, so when you get hot you peel a layer or two off and pop them back on as you cool down. Make a list and tick things off as you pack them ✅ xx
Oh dear lol....list, you need to make a list..roll up the clothes, they will fit in better. Look up how to pack for the specific kind of trip you are taking. Hasnt mark trekked before? If so can he not help.? I'm sure it will all come together in the end. 😊 xx
You’re not cruel to the dogs Nadia, if people have watched a lot of your vlogs, they will see how much love you give your dogs. Don’t listen to negative people.
Nadia when you have replied to me. It has made my day. You are a kind sparkly person. Good luck with the trek.
Can you roll up the sleeping bag as tight as you can, then strap it on the front of the bag?
Nadia just pack girl and stop stressing you will do great I have faith in you and wish I had your energy and do not let people’s comments get to you your dogs are beautiful and well looked after anyone can see that
Nadia ask the people that are packed and ready, what they pack, surely someone has a list to go by in your whatsapp group. It will all be fine and you will do great , we are all behind u xxx
Nadia and Mark, when i watch you, your family and friends I feel like I've been invited to your home and it's a privilege. I mostly laugh my head off with Mark's jokes, Nadia's baby voice and singing and the rest of the family with their hilarious one liners. Or you will be discussing something very heart felt which make me emotional or think deeply. I live quite a distance away from my own family and miss them. Watching your vlogs which are very honest and beautifully made I feel like I am part of your beautiful family so thank you. To me your vlogs are a real tonic and something I really look forward to. X
Exactly how I feel about @Nadia&family, my family are quite a distant from me too and so like you I feel like I been invited into their home. So it's a tonic and something to look forward to when I see another vlog posted.
nads we love you and your wonderful family
Go Nads, sing with all your heart. Mark help her pls. 😘
Nadia get someone else to pack your bag that's going on the trip
Nadia forget those few who always find something to moan about. I am so grateful that you and your family put yourselves out there for us. You help me so much in many ways. Much love xxx
That is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING that someone has sh*t in the car park. You should report it environmental health! It’s made me want to gag 🤮🤮
Deer Heart it might be but it still should be reported so it can be cleaned up
Mark, The National IMO, is a great piece of architecture inside and out. Poor Nadia just ring up Anthea Turner to come and pack your bags. Chi Chi, she is so bored standing by the back door looking like Mince Morsels. She would rather go out and roll in Fox Pooh. Well done Nadia. It will be over soon and you will be back to your own bed in no time, relieved and fitter, having had a brilliant time with a few new friends.
Half term is 1 week here in Worcestershire and its not until next week... weird!
Noooooooooo Nadia don't let the haters win, you can't let delusional people control your life and deprive us of your oh so sweet Nadianess 🙏💃👩🎤👩🍳🍾💄👙🎬😁❤️
Make a list of how many individual items you need. First pants, sox, bras, cool tops, warm tops, bottoms, coats and thick over tops, night wear, comfort items like a blanket, shoes, odd items like swimmers, water proofs, scarves. Then list all toiletries, jewellery, pills, glasses, make up, walking essentials, camping items etc. Once you know on paper how much you need, choose and wash all items then pack! Just need to simplify and approach this in steps.
Good luck on friday Nadia, you will be fine. Cant you get any packing tips from your fellow travellers? Please don't take the nasty comments to heart, you will ALWAYS get certain people criticising I'm afraid to say. Ignore and enjoy all the lovely comments ❤
Feel sorry for you with the bag situation .you are not cruel to the dogs .you can see you love them .so wouldn't listen to the criticism ..good luck with the packing
Ruck sacks are in a different world! I really felt for you Nadia, I hate packing! Have a cry, it dies help xx
I go crazy when I have to pack. I have to do it soon & to be honest I’d rather not go than have to pack. I’ll throw the stuff on the floor then shovel it up like Nadia - sorted. Aussie Bob x
I still can't believe Nadia's actually going. I'm starting to feel a bit nervous for her!
Question: why is there human feces in a CARPARK in London???! I can't get my head around it? Lisa, nadia....anyone?!!! 😲
Sadly because of the high percentage of homeless people ☹️ x
@@oliviamae3281 So Sad. Thanks for your reply Olivia. What a mixed up world we live in. I would never denigrate the homeless either. The 'System' YES, the homeless No.
@Jo M you're spot on there!
Take no notice of negative people stay your happy self.
You need Jane Moore there to help you Nadia. Ignore the horrible comments, just continue being you, funny and natural. Best VT’s ever, really make me laugh I look forward too them everyday. 😊😘
Ignore the haters Nadia. You are a funny, kind and very talented woman. Your life is so real and I love watching you, Mark and the girls. But please - make a list for your trek!! 😍
Nadia if you see this, you definitely need to watch a video of how to pack for tracking in the Himalayas. Just watched one, all the very best take care and God bless you all xxx
Thanks so much guys. I laugh uproariously so often from your vlogs, then I laugh at my own witty remarks. A win win situation. Aussie Bob xxx
Aww Nadia I want to give you a hug. Mark, just do it for her. Please 🙏
- MAKE A LIST
- WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN!
- WASH WHATEVER NEEDS A WASH
- TRY CLOTHES ON BEFORE U PACK IT
Hope that helps 🙂 P.S I’m pretty organised and I still make a mess when packing and take out things I might take.
Make a list of things you need to pack AND a separate list of things u need to do (e.g wash clothes and order online)
I like you even more Nadia from this vlog, you are just a delight to watch, so real, normal and funny 😁
That bag doesn't look very big to me. I'm sure you'll work it all out, but even if it's warm during the day the temp can drop dramatically at night. Admire your resilience in doing it!!
Hi Nadia those packing cubes are great, first do your washing then try on outfits and when your happy with one roll it with underwear and that’s an outfit for a day do this for all the days your away, so handy when your there to pull out a roll each day, I easily fit my outfits for a wk in the large packing cube and put xtra underwear tops etc in the others, don’t put sleeping bag in ruck sack hang it on it or hang it on your carry on
Nadia saying she needs to buy some trekking pants made me burst out laughing and Mark adding "weren' t the ones you wore on Friday trekking pants" you guys are hilarious although I have to say I've got a headache coming on now, I think I'm getting stressed for you!
Please help Nads get the bag sorted 🤗😘
