MOVING VLOG 1 - WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! GETTING OUR KEYS | LUCY WOOD 

Bring on ALL the sponsor stuff you can! I'll watch whatever! Maybe shift your content to be less about spending, do some chats, reviews, holiday gift ideas (without actually buying them) etc... Take the time to furnish and decorate without going into debt, as Adam said, once the cat and the PS is in there, you don't need much more 😂

I'm going to miss your stairs that people freak out about when you try on clothes. Good luck with the move!!

Dont dive head first into renovations! I bought my first house at 25 and rushed some of the decisions on decor etc and regretted them. There is merit to "living" in a space for a while before you make decisions- especially expensive ones! Take your time. The house isnt going anywhere. Enjoy just being there and resit the urge to rush and make it all perfect right now. Homes evolve. Just enjoy the process and the joy of simply owning your own little home. You'll make better choices when you've given yourself time to get to know the house xx

You made it seem like the whole house was a wreck, it is SO CUTE! Other than the roof obviously.. it’s so nice!

LOVED how down to earth and normal this was! The aldi wine in the background, the fact your house needs a bit of work, you stressing out about it all... very refreshing and normal compared to the "we bought a 6 bedroom house and did it out with marble and gold in 2 weeks". Love watching your videos. Thanks for being so normal and relatable! ---- And CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations. That is some feat. You just bought a house in London at the age of 28!! Just take a second to enjoy what you have achieved. All you need to do is give it a good clean, buy the essentials (get on the Ebay) and enjoy living in your new home. Take it as it comes. Your new home is lovely. It's a really nice blank canvas. Time will tell what you will want to do with it. You can see how you live your lives in it. Well done. Strokes and tickles to Flo. x

Please don’t feel the pressure to rush and get it all done. In reality most people take years doing up their homes. I bought my first flat when I was 29 and lived with a propane camping stove and fairy lights in my kitchen for over a year until I could afford a new kitchen. You don’t need to have all new furniture to be happy living there. Take hand me downs, free cycle etc and give yourself a break. I’m now 44 and in my third property. We’ve been here 4 years and haven’t yet finished doing it up. It takes time and money. Thanks for being real.

Never clicked a video faster in my life !!! I'm so excited you'd swear it was my house! Also lucy !!! Dont talk down that little house ! That is your two bedroom house ! It wouldn't matter if it's a one room or 10 winged house it's yours and you worked hard for it ! I'm so proud for you !! You got this !!!! I'm sooo excited to see the process and see you make it your own !!! Ahhhh !!!!!

Adams a good egg isn’t he with the flowers, completely agree with the overwhelming feeling of buying your first house, i had that last year. It’s the OMG I’m so happy i have a house but wait how will i adult and pay for mortgage things and things for the house! 🤯

Aw congratulations to both of you, I'm so excited for you! I know you said it needs a lot of work, but honestly it didn't look it on the footage, it just seems so cute and lovely to me. I think I'd concentrate on the essentials first, so furniture then getting the roof done (and a Christmas tree in the lounge!) then live in it for a while to see how you use the space and what does and doesn't work before making any big changes such as kitchens, bathrooms, building work etc. I was smiling so much through the video, I am honestly so pleased for you and will happily be clicking on any sponsored ads and videos so you can keep us posted on your lovely new home!

I remember well that feeling of 'oh my god, what have we done' after we bought our house. I got home and cried and cried so it is very normal not to have that overwhelming joy feeling right away, the joy will come later when you start making the house your home.

I remember when I bought my house I sat on the stairs on the first night and thought what the hell have I done. And same I moved in after 2 months when all the crap I didnt think I needed to pay for straight away like new fuse board, cellar rewiring were done. Then I had the boiler replaced when it totally clapped out. Last year (7 yrs in) I finally got my horrendous bathroom sorted. I'm having a mini kitchen makeover this year. That's the reality of owning a house as soon as you get something done something else breaks!! It's yours though

I recently found you when I was looking for midsized fashion videos and I felt like I couldn’t relate to anyone when suddenly, there you were. I started watching your vlogs and I relate to you in so many ways. I went back through your channel and I watched most of your life updates and Q & A’s and vlogs and now I feel like I know you and I’m so happy for you and Adam with your new home. I’m so excited to watch the rest of your Florida vlogs and also the moving vlogs. Sending you lots of love from a rainy Southern California. 💜

I bought my first house last year and the ENTIRE year was full of renovations and repairs (I didn't even get to move in right after I bought it because we had to gut the bathroom, I had to wait 2 1/2 months!). I know this is an older video but know that you don't have to do it all at once, take it bit by bit and it will become your dream home. I'm a little over a year in and it's just within the last month that things have started to come together. You've got this Lucy and Adam!

There is no rush to get things sorted. It's your own space that you OWN and it will be for as long as you want it to be. It's a super exciting thing and you want it to be right for you. Don't rush, enjoy! ☺️

Congratulations to you both. Your house is lovely and it wasn’t as much of a do-er upper as I was imagining from what you said. Take your time in making it your own, don’t stress that it will take a while to decorate - that’s real life and what normal people do in between working and having money to do said decorating - I think that’s why you are so refreshing and relatable. Also you and Adam are definitely couple goals, so sweet x

Congrats!! What an accomplishment! My bf and I bought our first house last year and I know exactly how you feel, but honestly - everything takes WAY longer than you think it will. It was a year before we even had blinds on all the windows. Definitely take your time and a lot of the time, good enough is good enough. Have SO much fun decorating and exploring and learning about your new home! And if you're ever feeling meh or stuck on interiors, turn to the exteriors! A bag of dirt and a tray of flowers can make such a difference and can be easy on the wallet. Can't wait to see it all come together!

I love seeing you two being so happy and buzzing about the next big step! And the little house looks really lovely and it will become a great home to you two (and Flo). I would recommend Madeleine Olivia's channel, they also bought their first home and do the renovation by themselves - good to watch and a lot of helpful tips :) xxx

Moving into your first home is a huge achievement, but worrying is very normal. Take it one step at a time. I absolutely love the wood floors in the bedrooms! Enjoy moving into your very own 🏡

I'm so happy for you, the house looks lovely! I just wanted to say that slow and steady is, I feel like, the more "normal" way, if that makes sense? I watched some home movies my parents made in the summer when my dad made digital copies of all the vhs films. So, as a background story, my parents moved into their house when I was about 1 year old, and in the home movie I was about 4 years old probably, playing with our cat in the hallway, and still part of the hallway wasn't really furnished, at least in the way I know it. Like, the telephone land line was just on a little stool and I think there was something else to put stuff on but that was pretty much it for the hall. Now it has cupboards, a mirror etc. And when I reacted to the bare hallway my parents told me they just added in little by little, as needed and how much they could afford. So, don't feel bad, if "making a home" takes a little while. It also means you can take your time deciding and figuring stuff out how you like it. Love from Austria

We just got the keys to our new apartment yesterday morning and we’re moving today! Waiting for the movers to arrive, and it’s so reassuring to see you feeling the exact same way. Totally overwhelmed, stressed, excited but not wanting to leave this place at the same time... thank you for making me feel normal. Now, hair up, leggings on and off to box the last bits and then get scrubbing the new place. Good luck to you!

I love that you're so real about buying your first house and the costing of it all because everyone else on youtube like you say makes it feel like you can just throw all your money into it straight away, but your situation is the reality for most people and I rate it so so much and I am so thankful for it and your channel.

Slow and steady is the norm for most. All the best in your new abode dont allow it to stress you too much, you will eventually climb the mountain.

You both radiate warmth and kindness. You guys deserve to take a moment and be proud of yourselves, such an amazing adventure you guys are on. Sending love and luck your way for all the house stuff❤️Thank you!

Ha, ha, you'll need a longer tape measure that that little thing to measure with 😁 House looks great, so cute and once you have put your own mark on it, it will soon feel like home. A quick lick of paint for now and live in it for a while to see what you'd like to change apart from the roof of course cos that s a priority. Flo will love being able to go outside and hopefully not bring you any presents of dead rats like my cat has done twice in the past month. 😔 So happy for you both

It’s nice to hear you being realistic! Your new house is full of character and I can’t wait to see what happens! We have been renovating a cottage and it takes time to get it how you want! Nearly 2 years and still so far to go! Just enjoy the ride!

I am going to reiterate what others have said, it's not a complete reno or falling down (ixnay on the roofay!). I would happily live in it so cool your beans and take your time!! Enjoy the process as much as you can. Honestly, it's so so lovely and I am really impressed that you now have a house in zone 2!! It's so wonderful as well. You can take as many deep breaths as you need. Also, quite truthfully, other youtubers do it too fast!! It's not realistic for us normies and sometimes shows a lack of thought .. shhhh don't tell them!! ;) Congratulations you wonderful star!!

So excited for you, I’ve been watching you for years and it’s lovely to see you so happy! 😁

We got the keys to our first house at the end of August! We did a few small renos and bought a good chunk of our furniture but we still have soo much to do. Just take some time to prioritize your list of things to do and it'll become more manageable! Love you!!!

It's a lovely house! I mean, the curtains in the living room need to go but otherwise, it's really pretty!

Woohoo! Well done Lucy!! It looks so cute from the little glimpses you’ve given us

Lucy, I don't normally comment on videos but couldn't help myself today. We move from our flat on Saturday into our house that completed in August. We've just got it into the state to move in after plastering, refitting a kitchen, bathroom, flooring...... and it's still nowhere near done. However, we have our shed prepared so we can hide all the junk we didn't realise we had! I love your videos and relate to you so much, I really wish you both all the best, and can't wait to see the rest of your move and all the great content you have in store.

We moved into our first home 5 years ago. And we made 2 list. " A need to do right now " list: bed, washing machine, fridge etc. " An eventually" list. : New carpet , new light fixture , paint bed room, replace side door. The 2 lists really helped me not feel like I was drowning. And we have been slowly crossing off things on our "eventually list " but we also add things ( it's our long term goals for the house) we sit down and prioritize them and then start saving for the next one. Congrats on your new home !!🤗😁

It's actually quite refreshing to see someone have such a down-to-earth and realistic view on moving, especially with everything that needs doing 🙂 wishing you the best of luck with your house and hope you can make it the way you want without too much financial hassle ❤️

Just enjoy it! And take your time, there's no need to rush obvs apart from the bucket under the roof situ! But apart from that just get in and get stuff as you go along. Somewhere to sit, sleep, something to eat off, make a brew everything else will just come. Don't stress Hun coz it's one of the best times in a person's life and you don't want to miss it by stressing too much!!! You both look so happy and the house looks fab so go and enjoy the rest of your lives together!! Xxx

Aww congratulations to you both on your new home. It’s so nice to see someone be so honest. I’m in the middle of buying a house myself and i get so anxious when i see people buying a house and getting it all done in such a short space of time. Watching this made me feel quite calm to know that not everyone is in the same position and if you take your time you can appreciate it so much more. I feel so much more at ease now. Thank you. Looking forward to more house moving vlogs. Xxx

Congratulations! The kitchen cupboards and work tops are lovely!!!!

Slow and steady is the realistic way to do it for most people 😉 bring it on with all the sponsorships 💪 I can see a series happening like "cute boohoo outfits to wear when you're supervising your house renovation" 😋 or maybe a better idea would be to get different interiors companies to sponsor different parts of your renovations 😎

Just to say- please PLEASE enjoy the fact that you and Adam bought a HOUSE in ZONE 2!!! You're allowed to enjoy your success, you don't need to downplay it, or qualify it in 'it needs a lot of TLC/is tiny' It's yours, it cost a huge amount of money, work and some sacrifice. Congratulations

This is so exciting! Congratulations!! I remember being quite freaked out (in a good way) when I got the keys to my first home. It's a very surreal feeling. Can't wait for the renovation vlogs....although, from the small bits of the house you've shown, there doesn't seem to be much repair needed (other than the roof, obvs) xx

Congratulations Lucy it’s so nice to see someone my age buying there first home when I go on RU-vid I see so many 20 year olds buying homes and moving into there prefect homes whilst that is fab it can make you look at your own life and think omg I need to be a home owner I’m nearly 30 and don’t own a property but the time will come it’s refreshing to see you say you brought a fixer upper and it will take time so take all the time you need I’m looking forward to watching the process and if anything at least it will keep us coming back for another 5 years 🤣

Tips from a house owner who had no idea what she was doing either: Check your boiler and find out how old it is / what type it is ... Ours worked when we bought the house but broke down during January and cost us a fortune to get repaired. Luckily we still had hot water because it turned out we had an immersion heater, which we didn't even know. Look into getting some boiler cover from British Gas or something similar! Have a 'leccy check your fuseboxes and wiring! One of our fuses was blown out and apparently weeks away from burning our house down. And the wiring in half our house is crap, if we'd known that when we moved in we would've done something about it sooner. Your house looks lovely! Cozy and manageable! Congratulations! ^^

“You would have liked it, there was a squirrel” 😂😂😂❤️ Congratulations on your new home guys 🍾💕

Loved this vlog, still so you and genuine. So excited for the 2 of you! We sold our flat and moved into a 3 bed house last year, and 14 months later we've done 99% of the things we needed to do - full roof replacement, all new doors and windows, damp proofing, new carpets on one floor, whole back of house completely re-rendered, plus extra internal building work and all the painting, decorating and furniture buying that goes with it. It's definitely terrifying, overwhelming, and super stressful and a real journey working out how to make something your home - but trust me you will get there and although there will be times that you think "What the hell have we done?!" (mine was when water from the shower started streaming down the wall of the kitchen below), you will get through it and bits of it will even be fun! The first 6 months for me were genuinely quite hard adjusting to new routines etc, but after that I started to feel more comfortable and realise all progress is good progress. GOOD LUCK!

Do what is good for you and Adam; don't compare to any others. Start with one thing and it will follow with another naturally. Congrats and enjoy the new chapter 🍾🤗 🍾

So happy to see you being honest on how it’s stressful feeling. Normal people don’t renovate before moving in. They live there, decide what works and slowly change things. We’ve been in our first for 4-5 years and we are doing our first major change, the kitchen, in January. We wouldn’t have known what would work for us right at the start. Xx

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS Lucy, Adam and Flo! It is a crazy, mental time. Don't think about it too much and don't think you have to get it 'done' so quickly like others on youtube. Let's be honest a home renovation etc. is never truly 'done'. You will be changing things all the time as you live there and seeing how things work for you. I'd start with the basics (you'll have a few already as you live in your own place just now) like a hoover, cutlery, sofa, fridge, bed etc. - things you need to be able to live there. Also setting up bills - gas, electricity, internet, TV etc. If you're painting etc. probably best to do that as early as possible when you can afford it, as its much easier when the place is empty. Then go into other things you want/need that will fit and fill the place out - dining tables/bookshelves/dressing tables/desks etc. After that's done (depending obviously on when you move in) there will be things like prints/decorations/plants etc. which can happen later on. There will also be things you forget about buying that you'll need like a lawnmower etc. Depending on how you feel the garden can also wait a bit until you're settled too. Obviously, a lot also depends on how much redecorating you'll be doing - eg. ripping out kitchens or bathrooms /painting/flooring etc. which will need doing earlier. All in all, don't over stress. Take some time away from youtube if you need to, calculate costs - everything doesn't need to be perfect from the get-go but you also don't want to be wasting money on things you're not sure about fitting/how you feel about them. Take things one day at a time and if you're stressing focus on one room at a time/ or one area of a room at a time. You could also upload transformation videos or updates on each room as you progress too. Can't wait to see what you do with this place. It's beautiful and I'm sure it will be even better when you make it your own. Lots of love x

So pleased for you - i’ve done up a few houses now and my experience is you learn as you go and sometimes financial constraints are good as they force you to take it slow and steady. Good luck remember you deserve to be happy xxx

This made me want to cry! Congratulations! I’m 23 and you’ve given me and every other young person in London hope A garden?!! Oh my 💕

So happy for you! But why did you pay stamp duty as first time buyers? I bought a house earlier this year and you don’t have to pay it as a first time buyer but our solicitor tried to make us pay it. Definitely look that up!

Congratulations on getting the keys to your house! So giddy for you both and wish you every happiness. Xxx 🎉🥂🍾🏡🔑

Congratulations on buying your first house! We're in the same boat, as I just moved in my first house with my husband a few weeks ago. Take everything slow, and enjoy it as much as you can!

I don't normally comment but we moved 23 years ago and we've done it up over those years as we can afford it . Will look forward to seeing how you get on but as long as you are happy then take as long as you need

Living for this! I bought my house with my partner in the summer and moved in at the end of August. so far we have done the grand sum of pulling a fireplace off of the wall, bought a bed and bought washing machine.... I have no idea we're to start and feel massively overwhelmed by th whole lot! Sure we will get there one day....

This video made me cry like I totally feel you about how bittersweet any change can be, even good change. But for real, do ALL the sponsored content, you deserve all the money

Looking forward to some house decorating vlogs! Slow and steady is good, we’ve been in ours for 4 years and still working one room at a time. Some things we rushed to do I wish we had waited because after living in it you figure out what works. Congrats, Good luck and enjoy!

I'm watching all your moving and house vlogs all at once now! Your videos and your personality make me feel happy :) especially since I'm stuck inside all the time!

I thought it was going to look much worse than it does from what you said! My house was very dated and a definite project home. 2 years on and we've only just finished the living room and started replacing the burgundy and pink bathroom😅 Don't feel like you have to rush into getting the house done, go at your own pace! Enjoy the experience! I found our current style is very different from our initial vision when we first moved in 🤗

I love how real you are, it's so nice to see both sides of a big change. Yes it's exciting but it can also be sad, overwhelming, and difficult. ❤ I'm so happy for you!

Having bought a couple homes, I can tell you from experience that you should start with what's necessary to live there comfortably, and worry about the rest as it comes. Build around the necessary and you'll do fine. For instance, after getting the roof done and anything else that's necessary to keep from further damaging the property, buy the sofa. Any and all décor decisions will come from that. Or, pick a paint color if you're going for other than white, and buy a neutral sofa that matches but will match if/when you decide to change the paint color. The roof and the four necessities you mentioned are all you need to worry about now, and the rest will come as you live in the space and decide how to use what you already have. That said, if the kitchen or bathroom need to be fixed structurally and you can afford it, do it before you move in. It's much harder to live in a construction zone when those things need work. Good luck, and I'm very happy for you.

I never comment but congratulations to you both, your new house is lovely! Love the fireplace and the kitchen window and sink 😍 I bought a house nearly 3 years ago and it’s not finished by a long shot. Once your roof is done though I’d suggest getting any new flooring you want next as it’s a pain to change when your house is full! Enjoy your new home ♥️

Congratulations Lucy. It looks like a great little house for the three of you. Looking forward to seeing the decorating happening, and without a doubt more primark hauls :-)

Congratulations on your beautiful new home!! So excited to watch you and Adam delve into this exciting new chapter. Also watching allllllll the ads for you, Lucy!! “Skip Ad” button? We don’t know her!!!

I know the exact feeling! We spent a lot on our first house in summer 2018 and have been slowly redoing it - it’s a lot of time and money! I’m at the bottom of the mountain with you - but you can do it! Can’t wait to see the progress and updates :)

This fills me with loads of comfort! I’m 26 and constantly feel under pressure to move out from my family and my boyfriends family. Whilst I would love to, I’m terrified! I’m glad someone else feels overwhelmed but it all, as amazing as it is!

You are such a beautiful soul!!! Your happiness makes me happy!! Thank you for being a bright spot in a sometimes dull, grumpy, mean world. Congrats on your home!!

Ah my boyfriend and I picked up the keys to our first house on the exact same day! Unlike you and Adam we don't miss our old house we hated the neighbours and how noisy/busy the street was. We're actually keeping one of the keys from our old house and getting it engraved or getting a nice keychain with the address on as a memory of the first home we rented before buying.

Well done you! These are so reassuring the now, me and my partner just got offered a new house. It's an amazing opportunity but it's big adulting step moving out our first home we had together. So loving watching these right now really calming my nerves

I lost your channel for ages and I’ve found it again! I’m so excited!

Congratulations! I just discovered your channel and am working my way through your videos. Your new home is so beautiful! When you said it needed every room redoing I was expecting a wreck but it's already so nice! The nook in the living room would make an incredible built in dining area, have always wanted one of those, like in a fancy restaurant haha. Enjoy your new home, and the journey to making it your own, my advice is to not to rush, we've been in ours 3 years and it's just coming together, take some time to live in it and work out what works for you 😊 xx

This is the most adorable video I have ever seen, you seem so exited I'm crying a little bit 😂. The house is great and you two are adorable! Good luck with the move!

I bought a house about a year ago and I think actually decorating and customizing slowly has been way way exciting!! I get excited every time I find a cute bit of house decor or come up with a new idea to save for! I think once you get through the initial craziness you will have tons of fun with it! So happy for you both 🤗

Bless you!! Such an exciting and daunting time! We bought ours 3 years ago and the advice given by my dad was to stretch yourself financially as we are young and our salaries will go up, I didn’t really believe him at the time but he was absolutely right - everything will be fine! 3 years on and the house still needs some work but we are slowly getting there. It will all be fine, chill and enjoy the moment 🥰

So excited for you! If you're still feeling overwhelmed, I'd suggest brain-storming a master list of everything that needs to be done and purchased. Then prioritize and divide into 3 or 4 or 5 - however many years you want to give yourself to get it done. Then you'll have your plan and goals for each year. Too bad Mr. Kate's not in a position to hop over to London to help you out!

This is goals. I'm 23, just finished my masters and a house is the next goal. (besides a job 😳) I would love to see a video about how you saved, budgeted etc...!

Congratulations! The house looks lovely! It sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourselves to make lots of big decisions early on and to spend lots of money you don't have (I also get the sense you're overwhelmed because you somehow feel that you don't deserve something so good to happen so you're looking for the negatives to play it down - hopefully your therapist can sort that one out because you absolutely do deserve it!) Like other people have said, just focus on the basics and urgent/dangerous things for now, and settle into the space as it is before you make any big decisions. When we bought our house we took 2 folding chairs and a kettle with us the first day, and we didn't even own those haha! We bought sofas from a charity shop, got donated a crappy old fridge and a washing machine from people we knew, and bought a TV and a bed. As long as you can eat, sleep and shower that's all you need for now, so ignore all the vidoes you've seen of people spending a huge amount of time, money and stress on immediate renovations and just enjoy the adventure of a new space that'll become your home :)

This is so honest and real about buying a house its really refreshing in these weird youtube days where everyone buys a perfectly done up House...they all make it look so easy and not that big of a Deal so it is nice that you talked about it in such an open and honest way

Thanks for being so honest. My boyfriend and I are also in the process of buying our first home and we have felt so stressed and as if we are bumbling through the process without a clue of what we are doing. It's so nice to hear we aren't the only ones. Congratulations to you both!

That’s a really nice sink! And I like the fireplace!

Aww congratulations on your new house....it looks so cute....can't wait for all your house updates Laughed when you were using the measuring tape and the pink fluffy pen....so professional 😂

Congrats guys, such an amazing milestone. I for one would willingly watch a 3 hour video sponsored video that is 90% adverts to help you along! Very much looking forward to seeing the progress 💕

I am so excited for you both! I couldn't stop grinning through this. It's such a great feeling. In terms of all the work & spending - it's so easy to feel all the pressure, but one step at a time is the way forward. We bought three years ago and there's still so much stuff we want to do, but we've been doing a bit at a time and it's still rewarding. There can be stressful bits but at the end of the day your own place is so worth it. Enjoy every moment!

Congratulations Lucy and Adam, what a lovely house, yes the real hard word starts but very worth it so happy for you both.

Many many many congratulations!!!! Bought my house in 2017 and can still remember the surreal feeling of getting the keys then the overwhelming feeling of seeing how much work it needed doing but let me tell you that you will do it!! Best of luck in your new adventure, it's exciting!!

It's so wonderful that you're going to have these videos to look back on when you're remembering how you felt moving into your first home. Never stop. Congrats, so glad to finally see this! X

Bonus of being in lockdown is that I can binge watch all of your videos I needed to catch up on! 👍🏻 this video made me so happy buzzzzing for you both 😁😁😁

Literally over the moon for you!❤️ You deserve the best, take some deep breaths and try not to worry too much. ☺️

Slow and steady is most definitely going to win the race I think Lucy! I love watching youtubers making over their homes but it’s often actually done so quickly that you miss the stuff you wouldn’t usually see! So actually if you slowed it down, you would make it more realistic for those watching who are in the same boat!

Hi 👋 just came across you I am one of them crazy people that love watching moving vids 🤗 Well ! Your new home looks lovely 😊 and I am sure it will soon look great soon 👍 can’t wait to see it Finished good luck! sure you won’t need it! 😃

So excited for you!!! Also that music was soooooo 3 men and a little lady vibes and I am here for it!!!!!!! Wishing you both loads of luck in the process of moving and as I said on insta just keep reminding yourself it’ll all be worth it in the end ❤️❤️ I can defo see you guys hosting a little summer swaray in your garden xx

Huge congratulations! Theres no rush... houses gobble money. Take it at your pace x

you look SO happy i'm so freaking excited for you!!

Congratulations to you both! I know it's overwhelming & you feel you know nothing and don't know where to start but honestly- you'll get there. It doesn't need to be perfect straight away, owning a house is an ongoing thing- we bought our house 12 years ago and yes we've done a lot in that time but there is still lots we want to do. Just enjoy it Lucy, take your time and be proud of what you and Adam have achieved together x

Adam is such a sweetheart xx congrats you two! don't worry about renovations just yet, only spend on what's important! we'll watch all the brand deals and ads for you! we've got you! xx

Cleaning and painting

Hi Lucy 🥰 I hope you are feeling a bit better today and I’m so happy for you that you have both bought your first home! Just wanted to let you know, I’ve been there, looking at a more or less derelict house and thinking “how on Earth am I going to get this liveable?” It took FIVE YEARS, £££££kkkkkkkkk’s and lots of patience, I knew no DIY and let’s just day it was a JOURNEY! but we did it and now our home is gorgeous and just how we like it!! So please don’t despair! Sending lots of warm hugs to you in your new adventure xxxx

Lucy I hope you know we don't care about what your house looks like, we just care that you're happy enough to randomly sing and be good ole Lucy 💖

This is so precious, imagine looking back on this in 10 years 😭

Don't worry, we bought a house a year and a bit ago.... It didn't need a huge amount doing to it think god, but I was still terrified!!! Everything seemed out of reach and in all honesty, a year and a bit later and it's still not done haha. But that's okay! You just have to do it at your own pace and try not to compare it to what others are doing. It's such an expensive thing but.... Its amazing. We love our house so much (kitchen lino rips that we still haven't sorted and all) 😂. Congratulations on your new chapter and good luck with everything!

I am SOOOOO excited for this. Im a nearly 30 year old saving like crazy for a house and this will be good motivation!
