New here. No idea what this channel is about. Someone who eats prawns in her car, has a j pouch and she knits/ crochets? Sounds good to me.

Loving your Vlogtobers Ally and watch all your vlogs on repeat when I need some comfort. So sorry to see you feeling poorly but no need to apologise for it...this is one of the things I love about your vlogs is how real you are and relatable. I've got an op coming up next week which will mean having to have a lot of rest for a month or so and I plan to rewatch all of your vlogs back from lockdown days :) Be sure to rest and give yourself whatever your dear body is asking for...you can literally sit and moan for an hour at us on your next vlog and I'd still love to watch it! Feel better xx

Interesting hearing about people who have trouble relaxing in public….I have the same problem every night the moment I climb into bed. My mind switches to overdrive and keeps going for hours. I’m always intrigued by people like yourself who look forward to an early night and find their bed a happy, relaxing place. ( I mean envious really 😂). Being able to fall asleep is such a skill! Hope you soon bounce back to full health x

@ThisLittleWonderfulLife 9 ай бұрын

Ah you see, when I say early night I mean “in bed” but not necessarily asleep :) I like to snuggle up with a book, or some crochet/knitting and be left alone 😅 But I totally hear you on the mind racing at night thing too!

Hi Ali, I found your vlog earlier this year and am now a regular viewer. I've been following Vlogtober daily and enjoying it very much. It reminds me of home and when my family were young because I lived in Kent many years and still have family there. I learned to knit and crochet at a very early age, and although I have a long way to go to rekindle any skills, watching this, and the strictly socks and your Little Drops of Wonderful, has made me pick up the needles again. Currently knitting a very simple scarf in Irish Moss Stitch, just to brush the rust off my hands! I've also started listening to audiobooks, which I wasn't sure I would like and my son kept telling me I would, so I followed your example and tried it and he's right. Just listening to Maiden by Kate Foster on Borrowbox at the moment. Loved the Halloween costumes - in my day it was a sheet with holes cut in for the eyes! Hope they had a great time. Looking forward to the next vlog, all the best, Jackie

@elaineatthecraftshed1993 9 ай бұрын

I'm not commenting so much, but am watching every day. I keep meaning to mention some book thoughts for you. I discovered the kind of books you have been reading like Practical Magic are a genre called Magical Realism. I am not a fan of fantasy books in general, but I love some of these authors like Sarah Addison Allen who wrote Garden Spells (no audio book though) and a sequel and Menna Van Praag who has written several, but the Lost Art of Letter Writing may be my favourite. Joanna Harris's Chocolat also falls into this genre apparently. Hope you are feeling better. You do so well normally with your J Pouch, it's hard to see you struggling x

What an apt episode! I completely enjoyed how you and Dan appreciated Lilia and her friends and their celebrations. I ran into a parent of my son’s old swim teammate and my heart was pulled back to how much I cared for my children’s teammates. I so often had the opportunity to chaperone at swim meets etc. and have always been keen on knowing how they are doing. Unfortunately the mom mentioned that her daughter, now 28, is so challenged by bowel issues that she is actually looking forward to having a pouch. I have been trying desperately to recall the novel you read and talked about. What was it? Would you recommend it for a 28 year old? I am not sure exactly what her issues are just that she will end up with a pouch. I will try to look back in your episodes, but thank you if you beat me. It is so hard trying to support someone going through something you haven’t without feeling condescending. I love how ‘regular’ you make what you have gone through sound so common. Cheers to you all. 🥂

@ThisLittleWonderfulLife 9 ай бұрын

Hi Carolyn - the book is called Sh1tbag by Xena Knox. It’s a YA novel but I found it to be very good, and positive, and I would have loved it when I was 28 and still so ill. Having jpouch surgery is a huge thing, and everyone’s experience of life with a pouch is different, however I can honestly say my experience has been extremely positive. I’ve had mine for 11 years and this is really the first time I’ve experienced problems. And even this can hopefully be easily treated. I wouldn’t change things. Wishing her well and hope she finds relief xx

@@ThisLittleWonderfulLife Thank you! I have passed on the title and your wisdom . It is always difficult supporting someone when you haven’t any experience yourself so to be able to pass on some kind words from ‘the trenches’ is appreciated. Hope your gurgles and wonkiness settles down soon. We are in moving chaos (out of house in just 10 days) so your quick response was brilliant. Life is definitely challenging for us all and it is a treat when we can support each other. Aren’t we lucky to find connections in our quirky fibre world!

I’ve read Tale As Old As Time it was my first twisted tales book I picked up since Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie. It was so good I couldn’t put it down! I then picked up Mirror, Mirror (Snow White’s twisted tale.) and Part of Your World (Ariel’s Twisted tale.) I’m still reading Part of Your World and its also a great one! If you enjoy those then The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer is also a great book recommendation for reading. It’s a futuristic take on some classic fairytales. Cinder (Cinderella.), Scarlet (Little Red Ridding hood.), Cress (Rapunzel) and Winter (Snow White) and then there’s two novellas that go with them Fairest (About the Evil Queen.) and Stars Above (has background stories for each of the main characters and an ending to wrap up the whole series.) I recommend this series any chance I get. Luckily I had bought this series back in 2014 it’s a great series to re-read from time to time. This series got me through the pandemic. I think you and Lillia would enjoy them.

I read the Beauty and the Beast twisted tale As Old As Time maybe five or so years ago, and I loved it, but then Beauty and the Beast has always been my favourite Disney film. I didn’t have any of the other ones though, so I never read those. I didn’t get the chance to jump into your instagram stories and recommend a witchy book, but one I’ve read this year and loved is The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandana. I don’t know what the audiobook is like as I read it as a hardback but I found the story to be very cosy, fun and heartwarming. The author has a new witchy book coming out next year which I’m very much looking forward to reading as well.

As I have never heard of a J pouch before, I just listen when you talk about it. However, I was wondering if it is an external thing or an internal thing & do you have to do any manual maintenance to it yourself. The kids in fancy dress looked amazing by the way! Cheers 😍❤️👏😊💕🥰🤗
