So glad you are back. Headbands, frozen ice packs, & damp towels kept in a container in the refrigerator are my friends. Your 30C is a nice spring day to me. It's 43.9 outside right now and we are in a block building w/ drywall at least we have AC so that is set to 26.7C during the day & 24.4C when sleeping. Up to 40C in the shade here is doable but, we don't have the humidity you all have so it is very different heat. Thermal curtains can help, as well as adding insulation and such. As soon as hubby's arm is healed up we will be making an insulated fabric wall for the bedroom to help reduce the heat there as well. May you cool off soon.
At last another video! Woo-hoo! We knew what you were going through, sweetie, don't apologize! 💕 I'm so glad for you that you have recovered! 🤗😍❤ Yes!! That 2nd set of cutlery is *WORTH IT!!* Got them, use them, LOVE them! 😁❤ We adore mugs and have FAR too many! Yes, I shop the same way: surgical strike, in. and. GONE! We like white plates, white sheets, white towels, clear glasses... 😁 Oh, never had a gravy boat? Slip a sandwich/side plate under it when in use! You'll be happy you did! I'm with you, Claire...MUGS must be holdable! I have a tiny hand, but I insist on being able to put my whole hand in the handle, or I don't buy it! I get mine off Amazon. I buy clear, BIG borosilicate mugs, at least 16-20 oz. They are hard to break (& I break everything!). Bye, Luv! 💕 Hope your eyeballs survived the sweat! 😁😅💕
Omg so glad you are back! And so so happy you are feeling better. Have missed you lovely!! Firstly it’s so refreshing watching someone drive on the correct side of the road 😜. Love this vlog and shopping with you in ikea. We don’t have one close by so it was a real treat.
Thank you for this. I lobe to see the styles and styling in other countries. Even with the same products the way they are put together can be so different from country to country.
So happy to see you back! I live far from an IKEA but would like to go and check things out. I love the rolled coloring sheet! I need one of those for my youngest granddaughter. I use a ricer for mashing potatoes….guaranteed no lumps. Again, glad to see you back! Thank you. 🤗💐
I just had my grands for a week lol hottest heat wave! No A/C - we were out early every day searching for a new park lol and then home for lunch and screens/crafts/swimming for the afternoon! Was so much fun!!!
Hi Claire great to see you back, we just got a new dish set from dunlem, the heat is shit without the sun, hardly any flowers 😔, thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx
Glad to see you back.😃👍 I'm in the US yes right side 🚗😛 I'm with you with hot weather🥵 I live in the SE of Wisconsin US. Near to Milwaukee and Lake Michigan. It can stay 20°C year round( Roughly 68° F )here would work for me❤😉 Don't mind winter and snow. As long as it doesn't get way too cold. YEA bring it.🍁🍂🍁🍂😁
Welcome back! I love to see how similar and yet subtly different IKEA looks in other countries. I have the second ever IKEA store to open about 40 min drive one way, another 20 min the other way and a smaller version in a mall cloes to work. I still only goes there a few times a year.
@@athomewithclaire True! Most of my furniture is store bought or second hand IKEA as well as a lot of my kitchenware. It's not as cheap as it once was but still better price (and similar quality) to the higher end shops for most things.
Nice to have you back! And we're in a heat wave here in western Canada, week three I think, not sure as my brain is melting away. I avoid Ikea as they had it set up to send you thru the entire store, not arrows but like a maze. Been years since going into Ikea here, like their stuff not the layout!
I've missed you too, sweetie. Welcome back. Ya, thanks for the "wrong" side driving, lmao. It's the turns and merging that freak me out. Oh yay, more WHITE plates🤦♀, lol. JK hun, xoxooxoxo. Fun, fun, fun to see you again. xoxoxoxoxo
Glad your feeling better Claire 🙂 Lakeside Essex bring back memories i used to live 10 mins away from the shopping centre....love ikea my bank account dosent lol. Thanku for the video 🙂
Nice to see and hear you! I am one of your "right side" drivers and have missed you! Thanks for the drive to IKEA and taking us on your shopping trip. I totally agree with you on the mug situation never having large enough handles...what's up with that? So glad you are feeling better and I'll get to enjoy your driving, your accent and all the things with you! Give George a kiss!! ❤
So glad you are back and feeling better! ❤. So funny that you said your glasses are all pub glasses lol. We have a cider house near by that my hubby and I go to and they have those cute beer can shaped glasses. We now have 8 of those, and a few bar (pub) glasses. I think we maybe have two regular drinking glasses that were his mother’s 😂😂
Glad to see you back and (mostly) feeling better! I am jealous you have an Ikea so close. The closest to me is 2+ hours away and online Ikea shopping just isn't the same. I could feel the struggle when you saw that pumpkin jar, not sure I could have passed it up. 😂 I am totally fine with fall coming out now, but what is crazy is that I saw Christmas stuff out at one store already!
Thank yoooo Erin - ahhh yes I saw on TIK TOK that people were falling in love with that IKEA pumpkin - I just genuinely knew I wouldn't get it home in one piece lool
Silly girl, you said in and out, FURNITURE wasn't on your list 😂😂 kidding. I just love your videos. I know I'll never make it to England, I'm glad you can take me on that adventure
Love love your back weve all just got over covid again as u daid the covid this time wasnt as bad but me and the kids had infections after which are still slightly lingering going ikea tonight for units for daughters bedroom u can bet me and other half will have a row b4 we leave there he hates the place 😂 in the range and next yesterday i seen so many auturm bits i love but feel its criminal to buy in july even though every part of me was wanting to ❤
We had several days where we hit 40c with the humidex, it was so bad I told my husband we were moving to Antarctica, he said no :( . Love IKEA but we may go once a year, correction, I go once a year, hubby and my daughter go every month or 2.
Loved the video Claire! I too am that person with mugs for holiday occasions that overpower my plain mugs lol, my husband now hides them until the season comes up lol! So when we bout the cutlery set of 6 each, kept running out also by the end of the day and got a second set and now there are like 4 of each in the drawer when really should be closer to 10! What do we do with them? Is only 2 of us as well...😂
thank yooooo omg I absolutely would NOT COPE !!! I was definitely born to live in a cooler climate haaaaaa I think I might survive further north like - Oregon or Vermont haaaaa
Omg i got so mixed up because you drove on the wrong side of the road to me 😂 im in the states so yes we drive on the right side! I wonder if you could mash potatoes in a blender 🤔 your potatoe masher made me think of that 😂 the way my mind works 🤣 love the simplicity of the things you got! I do wish you had bought the pumpkin and made a mold out of it and made one for Halloween! I agree on the mugs but im an antique dish kinda girl. I think you would love milk glass mugs they are the most beautiful white pieces you will ever find! Very simple white but milky white hard to explain if you dont know what milk glass is! My grandmother collected it! Loved it! Sorry you went through so much sweetie and a tip with the back pain as ive had 3 back surgeries, try putting a Nerf ball 🏈🏀 under your butt cheek usually on the opposite side of where the pain is but it will help take pressure off of the nerve and relieve some of the pain. Ive had to do this forever ever and it does truly help me. Glad you made it back to this channel i know you have so much going on and im excited to see what you have to come!! Much love sweet girl 💞🤗🥰❣️
heyyyyyyyy lovely - thankyou so so much for such a wonderfully supportive comment xx I do have teeny tiny regrets not buying that pumkin - I think it would have been beautiful with fairy lights inside :) and thankyooo - the pain I am waking up with on a daily basis is right at the bottom of my spine - honestly at this point I dred going to bed on this horrendous mattress we have :( cannot believe I wanna buy a new bed just one year after I bought one lol
Excellent funtastic video Claire. Buy a fan and stand in front of it. I have one beside my bed blowing on me. Not the foot of the bed. If you fart you will die.lol Take great care Love ❤
Love a good 'shop with me ' vid 😍😍👍🏻👍🏻
Yey!! My Sundays are complete again! Enjoy Sundays and watching your videos. So glad your back and healthy 🥰🥰
yayyyy thank yoooo xxx
Great to have you back on this channel Claire. You shop like I shop.. in early, get what I want and home ASAP. Only way to do it.

I want to go to Ikea now! 😀😃
Yes! Hate when I can’t hold the mug! So annoying.
Friday 19th, and it was a scorcher. Schools over here broke up end of June haha Your grandbabies will inherit that cutlery 🤣
We had several days where we hit 40c with the humidex, it was so bad I told my husband we were moving to Antarctica, he said no :( . Love IKEA but we may go once a year, correction, I go once a year, hubby and my daughter go every month or 2.

Thank yooo Dale - ohh I have a fan - it is on - and in my face as we speak haaaa xxx Foot of bed haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Sorry to disagree with you Claire but Scottish children returned to school in August following their school holidays which began at the end of June.
I've never been in an Ikea. I hope your car has A/C
ohhhh is that because you don't have one close? or you are just not interested? yes yes my car has air con oh my goodness I would not go out haaaa
You have grandchildren? You look like you're in you're in your 20s.😮
GRANDCHILDREN??? YOU don't look old enough to be a grandma. You look like you'd have tweens (not quite teen but almost 😉)
