You are a star for carrying on vlogging whilst feeling so bleh. Fingers crossed that the meds do the trick…….and quickly. Brownie points to Dan for taking up the nurse & chef role so successfully 😊
I’m amazed that you are still vlogging when you feel so poorly. We would understand if you just go to bed and take care of yourself! Your dedication is amazing! I loved Lilia’s book review!
Thank you so much Jill (and Cheryl!) Lillia says thanks too :) I rather like vlogging and editing, it's a lovely distraction from the gurgling mess in my tummy 😅 xx
Joining everyone else in hoping the meds work and you feel better! We're all behind you 🌼 Also I really relate to Lillia feeling giddy talking about a story she loves! I love how she anotates and tabs her books. I might start doing that. I think it would be fun for her to read back on those books a few years later and see how her opinions have changed or stayed the same. It would also be fun if you randomly found an annotated book in the charirty shop and it felt like you were having a book club with the person who annotated it!
Thanks so much Lisa 🤗 It does seem such a fun way to add extra enjoyment to books. She gets SO into the characters and stories, she talks about them at dinner time as though they were real people 😅
Hoping the meds work quickly! Kudos to Dan for taking good care of you and getting everyone fed. Of course you could just tell us to bugger off and take to your bed to recover. Hugs!! 🤗💕🤗
I’m a bit behind on vlogs , but I Really Hope that the medication worked and you are feeling better. I can see it in your face how poorly you feel. Lilia is Brilliant! I Love her system for annotating her hooks and her love of reading. What a joy to watch her.
Such a relief you’ve heard from your nurse and hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon. Dan’s pie looked delicious and another recipe for my collection. 😊
Sending you lots of love while you recover! If you miss a day or two of vlogging in order to fully rest we will all understand, and appreciate that you are putting your energy into getting well again! Please take care of yourself!
Hoping you feel better soon Ali and the anti B’s kick in. You do have a lovely relationship with your family it’s lovely to see. Quite a rarity these days that families sit and play together with the busy lives we lead just lovely ❤️
I'm so glad you heard back from the nurse. I was worried and actually exhaled when you said she rang! 😂 It was like an awful cliff hanger. My hubby likes steak and kidney pie but I cannot stand the smell of kidneys cooking. (Don't tell my Scottish Gran!!)
Oh, Ali, you’re truly admirable. Let’s hope the antibiotics work 💚 I subscribe to the beautiful comments, you are so special. Thanks for sharing your awesome family. 💫🍂🧡
So glad that you heard back from your dr. office. I hope that the med helps and things get settled. My eldest daughter has had UC now for 5 years, and it certainly has been a learning curve for both of us. She gives herself a Humira shot each week and also takes mesalamine (gut NSAID if you don't know already). Unfortunately it seems that her hormone levels cause havoc with her UC so we are trying to get those settled with meds (that is another trial and error situation it seems). I hope that things settle down for both you and Dan and you feel much better. It is so lovely to witness the excitement of a child who loves to read. My eldest was just the right age for the Harry Potter books when they came out in the US. What fun it was to go to the bookstore, see all of the celebration, and stand in line to get your copy. And I fondly remember going to a bookstore in the shopping center where I worked when I was in school, picking out a book, and then reading during my lunch break. 😊 Have a wonderful Friday! 🍄
I really hope the antibiotic works for you. I can only imagine how bad you are feeling. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and I have been having a really, really tough week and you are giving me some inspiration while you carry on like a real trooper. I watched your j-pouch episode and I was glad you shared. I didn't understand what a j-pouch is or how it works. I love it when Lillia shares her thoughts when she finishes a book. I completely relate to her excitedness when she's really loved a book. You are so lucky to have Dan to cook your meals when you're feeling unwell! My husband could learn a thing or two from him. LOL Wishing you well.
Sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope your antibiotic helps you feel better soon! Lilia's love of books is so cool - I'd love to see more examples of her annotations. Both of your girls are so delightful, and Dan is a keeper. I enjoy these vlogs so much!
Oh dear, poor Ai, it makes me sad to see you unwell like that... I hope you fond some comfort in your lovely family & your knitting and crochet! Also hope the meds will kick in& be effective. Sending you thoughts from Paris ❤🩹
I do hope you start feeling much better soon Ali. What a lovely man Dan is, taking care of you when you are ill. I had a wonderful husband, however he was totally useless whenever I was unwell. He just couldn’t understand the little things that someone could do to help. Anyway, sending you lots of good wishes for a speedy recovery. Cheers 💕👏🥰😊❤️😍😔
Ali,,,,,Thinking of you and hoping u feel Better ,,,,Hope the antibiotics help,,,,psorry ur going thru this,,,!!! Love that dinner,,,So yummy,,, Great job Dan,,,!!! Often do that but with potatoes on top,,,,shepard pie,,,love that kind of cozy meal,,, Take care,,, Elaine 🏡💓💓💓
Have been catching up on a few - loved your Mum's vlog, also found the j pouch one really interesting. Hope the antibiotics do their stuff and you're back to fully fighting fit soon. That pie looks excellent. I'm somewhat disappointed Dan didn't do a cut out of your chicken Cloud 😉🤣
Ali you are amazing to keep vlogging whilst unwell, it must be the last thing you feel like. If you prefer to rest we will all understand. What a lovely young woman Lillia is, you must be so proud, and Dan is such a kind man. Hope the meds kick in quickly. Xx
So sorry that you are still feeling poorly! and that you are still committed to blogging daily is truly remarkable! You are a warrior princess ! One whom which we all aspire to ! Thank you so much! Sending hugs and best wishes that you feel better soon!
😅 Thanks Patti ! I find the process of editing quite relaxing so it's providing some welcome distraction, and of course seeing the comments and chatting helps too - so thank you! xx
I really hope you feel better soon, and wanted to say how very interesting your explanation was about your pouch. I had no understanding before this, as I have been lucky and never needing to know. I really feel for you, and your journey. Information is never a bad thing though I believe, so thank you for that. Like I say, feel better soon and thank you to you, and all your family, for making these videos. 💐
Thank you so much for vlogging when not feeling and hope you feel better soon … how will you handle no glass of wine at night 😳🤣…. And Dan that pie looked so yummy , MasterChef quality 👨🏼🍳and lillia thanks for doing the book review I have added that book to my list 📖…… all your candles and decorations look so cozy …… love seeing the candles 🕯️🕯️, do the chickens still roam around in your garden ? 🌷📖🌷
Oh dear looks like more healing is on the way to you instead of Dan , sending love light healing prayers to you on a speedy recovery. 💕😇👏🌹 and a wee red mushroom for extra healing 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄 x
I have my fingers crossed that your prescription works and you start to feel better 🤞🏻 thank you for continuing with the vlogs even though your feeling poorly ❤️ you are a star✨ Plus Dans such a good egg looking after you so well 💪🏻
I’m so sorry that you are still feeling poorly. I’m hoping that the meds work and you are better soon. I enjoy so much your vlogs and your lovely family.
Hope you feel better soon. We laughed so much when we saw the end of your blog. We have been watching Ghosts and had assumed "Is it Cake" was a made up programme. Who could make a whole show out of that, we thought. Didn't even bother looking it up we were so convinced it was a joke!
We loved that they were watching it in Ghosts 😆 It is such a silly show but also a little bit addictive to watch, the presenter is very funny which helps!
Fingers crossed for those meds working very soon. Well done Dan for looking after Ali, I totally relate to not being a good nurse because you worry and crash. Lots of love to you all xxx
😥 sorry your still unwell Ali, you have been a trooper through Vlogtober , hope the Meeds work for you. What a star Dan is, and he can cook! I don’t eat meat but that pie looked delicious. The game looked fun, I have not heard of it? You are pretty nifty with those scissors 🤩 love & hugs. Suze. Xxx🥰🤗🥧 xxx
Hope you’re feeling better Ali. Having to wait so long for the specialist nurse to get back would have caused me to feel worse. Hopefully you’ll soon be feeling like your old self x
I hope you start to feel better soon. I have been put on some stronger pain killers and some other medication today for my back and have been referred back to the hospital for another MRI.I have slept most of day thanks to the stronger meds. The sleep has definitely helped my mood.❤
It's wonderful to see your whole family enjoying a game together. We enjoy playing scrabble as a family but it can get quite loud when someone puts their tiles in a place where you could have had a seven letter word lol.
Ali, hoping the antibiotics kick in very quickly and you recover well. :-( re wine ... can you substitute with a Terry’s Chocolate Orange? We all deserve an end of day treat. The game at the end looks fun.
Glad you have your antibiotics and hope they work fast and efficiently and you’re back to normal health very soon! Please don’t worry about vlogging when you are feeling poorly! A few minutes health update would suffice! Dan is a star to take charge and the pie looked lovely! I would have to survive on a sandwich as my other half won’t cook! Take care xx
Thank you so much Heather! I am enjoying the distraction of vlogging so it's actually helping, although I will enjoy more knitting etc after 31 October! 😘
Hope you're on the mend soon Ali! It's wonderful you're taking some time to look after yourself. I'm a great believer in listening to our bodies when they whisper to us that all is not quite ok - feeling tired, cold sores etc. A little self care is always important ❤. I also have a wonderful hubby who likes to cook, he's just told me dinner is ready and poured me a glass. Happy weekend!!😊
oh, the cake or fake is an actual tv show? where? which channel?! I love to guess it in the Sainsbury's ad before each segment of Bake off! Glad you finally got your meds... waiting 2 days for it sounds indeed stressfull. Are you doing anything special for Halloween? I mean as a family, or at home, not for the vlog. I'll be carving my jack-o-lantern on Friday, so I can enjoy it for a few more days x
Thanks for another lovely vlog. I do hope you feel better soon and the meds help. You’ve been very patient and good-humoured about what must be a yucky time for you. Your family are lovely - good on Dan for making that super pie -what a star! Just the thing for when you’re in need of a pick-me-up. I laughed at the little bats on top -that’s a fun idea and the dinner conversation about how many bats everyone had got! 😂 we have the who-wants-a-corner thing whenever we make a pie here too! It’s def a thing! 😂😂 take care and thanks for the entertainment ❤
Another lovely video despite your being under the weather. Glad you’re getting antibiotics! Dan’s a great hubby for cooking a great dinner! Loved Lilia’s book review. Your girls are both so interesting, different in personality but both so sweet. 😊
Am I crazy? The beef & onion pie recipe that you linked doesn't include onions in the ingredient list. It sounds delicious. I'm so far behind with your vlogs! I hope you are well recovered from pouchitis by now. Thank you so much for your wonderful vlogs and glimpses of your family's life, including your Mum's poetry reading.
I only annotate academic books - not fiction. When teaching, I did recommend not using highlighter - instead, use a pencil and write in the margins. Use your annotations to indicate why a passage is worth noting. Because I am old with troublesome reading vision, I use my kindle. It's interesting because I can see what other readers highlight in any given book.
Dan, that pie looked delicioius! Lilia - that book sounds really good. Have you read Freida McFadden thrillers? They're so twisted and good lol My favorite is THE INMATE but her HOUSEMAID books are really good. Feel better, Ali!
Got ground turkey on reduction today,,no Marmite here..whatcha think rosemary and thyme with the onions and toss the peas in the pie? Hate doing moredishes
The game you were playing at the end looks like a lot of fun. My granddaughter LOVES scissors and cutting paper so I now have a Christmas present idea for her! I'm glad you heard from your nurse and have an action plan. The waiting must be terrible. I hope you feel better soon!
Ooo I am glad! It's like Pictionary but with paper and scissors (it comes with little safety scissors too) The best part is you can just use scrap paper from the recycling, even old cereal boxes etc. Sometimes we use the cue cards and make the items out of play-doh instead!
Omg I want to come to dinner, mince pie with marmite sounds amazing. Makes me miss home in Kent so much 😧 Hope the meds work for you. Love Lydia chiming in with her book Haha soggy bottoms 🤔❤
That pie looked so amazing. I'm a vegan so I'll have to tweak it... But I'm going to do a veggie mince pie this weekend!!! Hope you start feeling a lot better quickly xx
@@ThisLittleWonderfulLife yum or green lentils. I actually forgot to buy the mince!!! So I'm going to mince up mushrooms and use them instead!!! Wish me luck. Have a good weekend x
Watching your vlog and just popped on to say take things easy and rest up. Would it be metronidazole antibiotic that she's given you?? Yes, definately no alcohol unless you want to be throwing up all the time as well. 😢🤢 Have a book for you and Lilia might like it to. It's based on true Scottish history. It's titled The Last Witch in Scotland by Phillip Paris.
That's the stuff Linda! Yes there are warnings all over it not to drink alcohol, but that's absolutely fine by me for a little while :) I have butteries to keep me satisfied after all 😉xx
Oh Ali - you look very unwell.... I hope you just buried yourself in your cosy bed after you signed off.... 😢. I'm sure we would all understand if you skipped a couple of days vlogging. I love hearing all about your family life, helps me escape for a time. ❤💆
Oh same here Jo! I can't cope when he's sick, I do look after him but I can't be relaxed about it if that makes sense. I would make a terrible nurse 😆 Lillia annotates as she goes :) x
I've have never seen anyone use the 24hr setting on a clock. Lilia, I annotate books too. When I get to a word I don't know, I underline it and look it up later if I can't figure it out by context. That pie looked delish. Ali, hope you are feeling better soon.
You are a star for carrying on vlogging whilst feeling so bleh. Fingers crossed that the meds do the trick…….and quickly. Brownie points to Dan for taking up the nurse & chef role so successfully 😊
He's a star! Thank you Heather xx
I’m amazed that you are still vlogging when you feel so poorly. We would understand if you just go to bed and take care of yourself! Your dedication is amazing! I loved Lilia’s book review!
I totally agree
Thank you so much Jill (and Cheryl!) Lillia says thanks too :) I rather like vlogging and editing, it's a lovely distraction from the gurgling mess in my tummy 😅 xx
The little ghost hanging from the handle on the stove. ❤

I watch a selection of different RUclipsrs but you are my favourite by far. I sincerely hope you feel much better soon x
And not a soggy bottom in sight Dan - well done 😂
So glad you got some medicine that may help you feel better! Praying for you!
Love your Halloween display and the bats on the pie. Hope you feel better soon!
Hoping the meds work quickly! Kudos to Dan for taking good care of you and getting everyone fed. Of course you could just tell us to bugger off and take to your bed to recover. Hugs!! 🤗💕🤗
The beef onion pie looked delicious! I hope you are feeling better!
😂😂😂 a cure all!! I'll have to get more to send down to you!! ❤
I’m SO glad you finally heard from the nurse! I was thinking about you during the day. Worried.
Wishing you well, dear Ali. 🌻🧶🥰
I’m a bit behind on vlogs , but I Really Hope that the medication worked and you are feeling better. I can see it in your face how poorly you feel.

Thank you Nicole! For Lillia it was rather reluctant, she would always rather be reading 😆 But Phoebe loves a good board or card game :)
I'm so glad you heard back from the nurse. I was worried and actually exhaled when you said she rang! 😂 It was like an awful cliff hanger. My hubby likes steak and kidney pie but I cannot stand the smell of kidneys cooking. (Don't tell my Scottish Gran!!)

Hope the meds work and you feel better soon. You are being very stoic about the whole thing.
Thank you! I try to be but it is so opposite to my personality, but I do try to remain calm and accept what is and be pragmatic 🤗

Hope your meds help and you feel better. I agree with Dan concerning pie crusts. Our brand is Pillsbury pie crusts across the pond.😂

Thanks so much! 💗
We use a 24 hour clock in Quebec, Canada (I think it’s a French thing). Hope you feel better 😊🇨🇦
Thank you! It's interesting how different parts of the world do things differently, I love it! xx
Oh, Ali, I hope you feel better soon. Sending you love. 💖💕
Thanks Kim! 😘
I hope you start to feel better soon. I have been put on some stronger pain killers and some other medication today for my back and have been referred back to the hospital for another MRI.I have slept most of day thanks to the stronger meds. The sleep has definitely helped my mood.❤
Hope you feel better soon! Good luck withh the MRI 🌼
Glad you got some sleep! Hope you feel better soon! 🤗
Thank you to you both xx
It's wonderful to see your whole family enjoying a game together. We enjoy playing scrabble as a family but it can get quite loud when someone puts their tiles in a place where you could have had a seven letter word lol.
😂 loud and violent games of scrabble - we're all been there!
Ali, hoping the antibiotics kick in very quickly and you recover well. :-( re wine ... can you substitute with a Terry’s Chocolate Orange? We all deserve an end of day treat. The game at the end looks fun.
I think that would be an excellent substitute! I like your thinking! 🤗
Glad you have your antibiotics and hope they work fast and efficiently and you’re back to normal health very soon! Please don’t worry about vlogging when you are feeling poorly! A few minutes health update would suffice! Dan is a star to take charge and the pie looked lovely! I would have to survive on a sandwich as my other half won’t cook! Take care xx

I also have a wonderful hubby who likes to cook, he's just told me dinner is ready and poured me a glass. Happy weekend!!😊
Oh how lovely! Hope you enjoyed the meal and the glass 😋
oh, the cake or fake is an actual tv show? where? which channel?! I love to guess it in the Sainsbury's ad before each segment of Bake off! Glad you finally got your meds... waiting 2 days for it sounds indeed stressfull. Are you doing anything special for Halloween? I mean as a family, or at home, not for the vlog. I'll be carving my jack-o-lantern on Friday, so I can enjoy it for a few more days x

The pastry is the best bit 😋 Thanks so much Jenny xx
Hi dear, what a power women.. keep going.. will you are feeling bad.. hope that the medication helping, big hug
What is the pattern for the crochet pumpkin? It is adorable? I want to make one!
Hope you feel better soon! October has really flown by!! Take care of yourself!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤
Thanks Teresa! It has gone so fast! x
Another lovely video despite your being under the weather. Glad you’re getting antibiotics! Dan’s a great hubby for cooking a great dinner! Loved Lilia’s book review. Your girls are both so interesting, different in personality but both so sweet. 😊
That is so kind of you to say, thank you Caroline! Yes, they are so different we can hardly believe it sometimes! x
Am I crazy? The beef & onion pie recipe that you linked doesn't include onions in the ingredient list. It sounds delicious. I'm so far behind with your vlogs!

Thank you for book reviews. Let Lilia know about Kathy Reich's Virals series if she might be interested. Hope you feel better soon.
💛💛💛
Dan, that pie looked delicioius!
Lilia - that book sounds really good. Have you read Freida McFadden thrillers? They're so twisted and good lol My favorite is THE INMATE but her HOUSEMAID books are really good.
Feel better, Ali!
I hope the medication helps you, Ali. I can see you're not feeling well. Try to rest and let the medication do its thing.
Take it easy, lots of reading and cosy crochet. That pie looked delicious 😋 Hope the meds do the trick ❤
That sounds like the right kind of remedy :) Thank you Annie xx
I hope the meds will make you feel better ❤
Thank you 😘
🩲
Got ground turkey on reduction today,,no Marmite here..whatcha think rosemary and thyme with the onions and toss the peas in the pie? Hate doing moredishes
The game you were playing at the end looks like a lot of fun. My granddaughter LOVES scissors and cutting paper so I now have a Christmas present idea for her! I'm glad you heard from your nurse and have an action plan. The waiting must be terrible. I hope you feel better soon!

I hope that cotton yarn doesn't hurt your hands. I groaned when you said you may quadruple it. Lol. 😵 it will be cute. 😍
Haha, it's a bit tough on the hands but I LOVE doing it! Although I almost broke my crochet hook doing a swatch, eek! 😅
Fingers crossed the antibiotics work
Thank you! 🤗
Omg I want to come to dinner, mince pie with marmite sounds amazing.
Makes me miss home in Kent so much 😧 Hope the meds work for you.
Love Lydia chiming in with her book
Haha soggy bottoms 🤔❤
Thank you Deborah xx
That pie looked so amazing. I'm a vegan so I'll have to tweak it... But I'm going to do a veggie mince pie this weekend!!! Hope you start feeling a lot better quickly xx
Oooo yum! I was never a fan of Quorn mince but there are some gorgeous mince alternatives aren't there? I wonder if red lentils would work also? xx
@@ThisLittleWonderfulLife yum or green lentils. I actually forgot to buy the mince!!! So I'm going to mince up mushrooms and use them instead!!! Wish me luck. Have a good weekend x
Dan's mince pie looked yummy. Keeping everything crossed that the meds work. No alcohol 😱 Steroids are miraculous but not fun to take. Take it easy
Thanks Linda! I agree - steroids can work so well but...ugh 😅
Watching your vlog and just popped on to say take things easy and rest up. Would it be metronidazole antibiotic that she's given you?? Yes, definately no alcohol unless you want to be throwing up all the time as well. 😢🤢
Have a book for you and Lilia might like it to. It's based on true Scottish history. It's titled
The Last Witch in Scotland by Phillip Paris.
That's the stuff Linda! Yes there are warnings all over it not to drink alcohol, but that's absolutely fine by me for a little while :) I have butteries to keep me satisfied after all 😉xx
Oops - Spellcheck changed Lillia’s name.
Check for Mononucleosis or Lymes.
I hope the medicine works so you can get back to feeling normal again. That minced pie looked delicious!
Thank you! It was 😋
Hope you feel better when you get the antibiotics tomorrow! Love your vlog❤ 18:25 18:26
Thanks so much Paula! x
Fun to see Lillia’s excitement about her book!!
Oh Ali - you look very unwell.... I hope you just buried yourself in your cosy bed after you signed off.... 😢. I'm sure we would all understand if you skipped a couple of days vlogging. I love hearing all about your family life, helps me escape for a time. ❤💆
Does Lillia annotate as she reads or go back and do it afterwards.
I have terrible anxiety when my husband is ill, it makes me very stressed! X
Oh same here Jo! I can't cope when he's sick, I do look after him but I can't be relaxed about it if that makes sense. I would make a terrible nurse 😆 Lillia annotates as she goes :) x
@@ThisLittleWonderfulLife I’m glad it’s not just me! X
Love Lillian’s passion for reading! 📕 She definitely has the right part time job.
Feel better Ali…… sleep well and drink lots of water. The new pills will help, I’m positive!
Aw thanks Gayle! xx
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again , such a lovely family ❤ Get well soon Ali x
Well done Lillia, you would be a very good Booktuber 😊
I think so too! Thanks Teresa xx
I've have never seen anyone use the 24hr setting on a clock. Lilia, I annotate books too. When I get to a word I don't know, I underline it and look it up later if I can't figure it out by context. That pie looked delish. Ali, hope you are feeling better soon.
Lilia should start a booktube channel! I love her enthusiasm for books! ❤️📚
Hope you’re feeling better soon! (I’m watching the vlogs out of order Lol)
You have been sick for eons. I’m quite mad for you it’s taking this long.
I do hope you get some help/advice/medication very soon to speed your recovery. 💜
Thank you Kath! x
I was worried about you.
Aw thanks Cynthia! No need to worry, I think I am just going more slowly at the moment :) xx
And thyroid
It’s military time.
Indeed! I had no idea it was called that in the US 🕰️
In addition to military, law enforcement also use it. My late dad was a police officer so we were taught it when little. @@ThisLittleWonderfulLife
