As someone who had 5 cats in my house for many years, those lidded corner litter trays are great. But yes, we had to remove the flap as one of my boys would not get in with it on. Grim as it kinda sounds, if vuoi have to move his box -I wouldn’t - pop a couple of scoops of the litter he’s used (not made a mess on, but that’s been in his regular box..) in with the new litter box. He’ll pick up his own scent and hopefully transition easier. Hope all that made sense!
Hi Jess, maybe consider changing your stand up fridge and freezer to under counter ones. Extend the work top space and add 2 wall cupboards. I have undercounted appliances and have loads of storage in my small kitchen. Billy will find his litter tray and having 2 is a really nice way to introduce that change. Right, back to the rest of the video 😁
Actually that’s quite a good idea! Only thing is the ironing board is hidden down the side of the fridge, and I’m not sure where else I could hide it 😂😂😂 have been thinking of getting a steamer instead though so that could be an option!
God I love watching you , you’re just a normal girl and real ! I always click as soon as I see ur videos Wish u could upload every day hahaha love you ❤❤❤
Hi Jess, I bought mdf shelves and instead of just one shelf in my cupboards I’ve got 2, 3 if you count the base of the cupboard. You can buy the shelf bracket pins that go into the side of the cupboard, it’s amazing how much more space I have
Jess, you work so hard so leave the glossing until you feel like it. The food Emmanuel cooked looks yummy, ive never had plantains but they looked so good xx
Hi all the stuff on your extractor would do my head in. Your cat litter that is one thing in my life I couldn’t change but I’m not a cat lover ,I know I be sick 🤧 lol.your doing great job glossing every were.your lounge looks lovely,under your stairs the open space in lounge I’d buy small desk and chairs and have a small office space.your is growing looks so healthy and long now.have a nice weekend xxx❤❤❤❤
Hi Jess, I’ve had cats all my life, it may be best for Billy’s mental health to leave the tray where it is. He’s experienced a lot of changes in a relatively short period of time, which may of contributed to his over grooming. Furniture has been upgraded, cat cage outside & your boyfriend has moved in - you could add additional wall cupboards like has already been suggested where the hanging plant is & maybe above the coffee station too - that way there won’t be anymore big changes for Billy & everyone’s happy ! Love your channel Jess xx
Totally agree billy has had some big changes already and cats get used to where the original tray was and unfortunately sometimes will still go there even if no tray anymore
That’s very true! Though since posting this he’s started using the new litter tray over the old one despite it still being there 🤷🏼♀️ And yes I definitely think a cupboard in that corner could be beneficial as well!
Might be an obvious reason why not, but how about putting a new wall cupboard in your kitchen in the corner? It looks like there’s a gap between the ones you have and the kitchen window wall but it may not be as big as it looks in real life. Loving the DIY, you’ve just cracked on and you’re doing a great job! Xx
You are very smart about cat psychology. I did not know about some of these behaviors. It's a shame you can't have his tray in an enclosure outside in his play area then you could have all of your cupboards but I don't know what issues it would bring up or if Billy would accept it. I love your videos with Billy, he is truly the most interactive cat I've ever seen. Have a great week!
Your hair has really grown so much Jess..I feared the worst when you put back in the extensions..I thought they would damage it & you'd end up cutting it again🙉Thankfully i was wrong😁 It's looking really good💕
Or take litter from his downstairs one, and mix it into the new one. Only time will tell how he adjusts! If he doesn't already toilet outside an alternative tray there would be a good option, his old one most likely. Good to know he knows where the bath is already at a push 😊 x
Dear Jess, you need to get a small two step climbing stool , For your high Kitchen shelves that are hard to reach . Love your update vlog on Billy ‘s litter bin , Love how down to earth you truly are and is lovely To have Emanuel in your life , Have enjoyed his cooking lesson ❤ Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Long time since I had beans like that, my ex husband (who is Nigerian) use to cook this occasionaly, me and our kids love fried plantain. I love egusi and pounded yam not had that in years, I use to make Nigerian dishes when they were younger ... oh now Ive started I want to make myself some 😂

Hi jess i bought the dulux once eggshell paint for my door frames but it ended up like gloss paint took 16 hrs to dry too think they put the wrong label on the tin lol but at least its hard wearing lol i hate painting but it has to be done x
If you don't have to go to work.... then do the gloss of a morning and then it will be drying while you are doing other stuff in the day.... Just get on with it.. too much faffing. 😊
Hey! Sure I’ll pop it below, though there’s no exact measurements as we mainly just ‘eyeball’ it! I just put the beans straight on to boil, for roughly 90 minutes, just until you can squash it with your fingers! Fry red onion in palm oil Add in cooked beans Add in your chilli peppers Add 2 maggi cubes and one Knorr chicken seasoning cube Add some water to loosen off a bit Stir and cook until the consistency looks similar to what ours did! A proper recipe is one by ‘chef Lola’s kitchen’ if you google ‘Nigerian beans recipe’ it’s the first one that comes up (ewa riro)
It would just get all soggy and probably blown about with all these storms we have at the minute! Plus Billy isn't really using his catio at the moment due to the weather
Your hair looks lovely Jess food looks lovely too a lot of oil in the recipes tho maybe that’s normal in Nigerian dishes sorry I don’t no looks tasty tho xx
Omg Jess how do keep your cat Billie, away from all the wet paint around your place when you do it ? I think you get a better coverage with a brush than a roller anyway. O shut up moaning about the painting Jess! - and get on with it.
Jess , first of all I want to apologise for the comment I left last week , feel like a total bitch , I said that portion would last me two days , very wrong of me and I’m sorry , I’m on a weight loss journey for the last 2 years and of course mine is different to yours , I have lost 8 and a half stone , but I do restrict myself alot , I’m terrified to put the weight back on , even the doctor told me I have lost nearly a stone since December , and I need to stop restricting so much , anyway I totally apologise and I think you are amazing girl
This was just you projecting, because at one time or another you were overeating to become overweight in the first place. So maybe as you have an understanding of weightloss now, your comments could actually help her.. but like you have recognised; it’s the way you say it.
I'd be tempted to make the space under the stairs into a large cupboard with shelves for an additional storage idea.

I was about to comment the same thing about popping some of his old (not dirty) litter in the new tray 😊
Do you think he would like the new tray more if you put some of the dirty litter with his scent on , from downstairs into the new one ? X

@@TheSliceOfJessyou could get a door hanger for the ironing board and put on the back of the door to the living room and it's still hidden 😊
God I love watching you , you’re just a normal girl and real ! I always click as soon as I see ur videos
Wish u could upload every day hahaha love you ❤❤❤
How about putting shelves behind you where the hanging plant is? That way you can keep the cupboard for Billy xx
I think I might end up putting a cupboard there and finding a new home for the hanging plant!

Gloss will go yellow, use Matt egg shell so much better 😊 oh Jess just get on with it lol 😜 😅 xx
Hey Jess!! Get that glossing finished👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💖

Get on with your glossing Jess, you'll feel so much better when it's all finished and you can put all the paint stuff away 😊😊
I get you want a push…But!!!! also know your motivation for housey bits is enough. You’re smashing it and you’ll get it done
Get that glossing done Jess 😂❤xxx
I use puppy training pads in my cats tray you can get about 40 in b&m or pound shop for about £5 because he hates the litter under his lil paws 🌺
Jess, I love how you have embraced Emanuels culture ❤
Hi Jess why don’t you swap the litter trays around so the one upstairs has his smell.
Or take litter from his downstairs one, and mix it into the new one. Only time will tell how he adjusts! If he doesn't already toilet outside an alternative tray there would be a good option, his old one most likely. Good to know he knows where the bath is already at a push 😊 x
Shut up, stop moaning and get on with it Jess!! 🤣🤣🤣. Love your channel, you’re just so down to earth and normal 💜 xx
Dear Jess, you need to get a small two step climbing stool ,
For your high Kitchen shelves that are hard to reach .
Love your update vlog on Billy ‘s litter bin ,

Jess what colour is your bedroom please? Also i literally thought u had extensions in 😮❤❤
Hi jess suggestion for litter tray, apparently cats prefer sand which would be cheaper from a DIY store.
Stop moaning get glossing 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Hi Jess can I have the recipe for the Blk Eye Peas. Did you just soak then boil if so, for how long x?
Hey! Sure I’ll pop it below, though there’s no exact measurements as we mainly just ‘eyeball’ it! I just put the beans straight on to boil, for roughly 90 minutes, just until you can squash it with your fingers!
Fry red onion in palm oil

A proper recipe is one by ‘chef Lola’s kitchen’ if you google ‘Nigerian beans recipe’ it’s the first one that comes up (ewa riro)
The quicker you fo it the 1uicker its done! That's my theory lol. Just do it 😂
Jess shut up, stop moaning and get on with it 😂😂😂😂 love you ❤
Until someone shuts the bathroom door then he can’t get in !
Jess shout up stop mooning and just get on with it 😉😊
Girl, get the glossing finished!

Shut up 😂stop mourning and get on with it Jess❤
Your hair has got so long! XX
Why don’t you put Billy’s litter under the stairs
❤❤xx

It would just get all soggy and probably blown about with all these storms we have at the minute! Plus Billy isn't really using his catio at the moment due to the weather
Shut up Jess and just get on with the glossing girl! 😙😁 x
Orange poo 💩 🧡 😂
Jess, just get on with the glossing then you can stop moaning 😂😂😂
Hi Jess, I've noticed it a while ago, but aren't your conch hoops a little too small? It looks like they are hugging your ear real tight. x
Maybe yes, though I quite like them being snug, I've had it in for years and it doesn't irritate or feel small!
Your hair looks lovely Jess food looks lovely too a lot of oil in the recipes tho maybe that’s normal in Nigerian dishes sorry I don’t no looks tasty tho xx
Omg Jess how do keep your cat Billie, away from all the wet paint around your place when you do it ?
I think you get a better coverage with a brush than a roller anyway. O shut up moaning about the painting Jess! - and get on with it.
Enough with the moaning, get that glossing finished 😉 ❤
Can emanuel not help you xxx
Shut up and get on with the glossing😂

Some things are just better left unsaid.
This was just you projecting, because at one time or another you were overeating to become overweight in the first place. So maybe as you have an understanding of weightloss now, your comments could actually help her.. but like you have recognised; it’s the way you say it.
You don't need to apologise, people over eat and over portion and then complain about weight gain, its facts. Eat less, move more.
I feel that's a very generous sincere apology. Who doesn't say things we regret.
