“A little health update, this week I was unexpectedly diagnosed with shingles. So I thought I’d do a quick video to explain what it is, in the hope it helps raise awareness for anyone who might not be familiar.”

“I noticed a pain and just odd sensations under my arm here and then a couple of days later the rash appeared on my back on one side.”

“It's definitely not something I expected to be dealing with, but hopefully sharing this does raise some awareness.”

“As for me, I'm kind of hoping to start feeling better soon and back to myself. I hope that as helpful, stay well everyone.”

“You might have seen a video I did recently where Millie was doing some chores for me and Pete and earning a bit of extra pocket money. There were some really great comments on the video. I asked people, 'what do you do with your kids?', 'how do you do pocket money?', 'do you make them do chores?' and I got some really great responses, so I thought I'd make a video about it again and just see what everyone thinks.”

“The kids have their own bank accounts and they have a little card that they're able to spend, and they get £1 a week from me and Pete that goes into their bank account. And then any extra money they want to have they get through chores.”

“So, you know, they might help me unload the dishwasher. I think I'm a bit stingy, by the way – I'm gonna just caveat with that – because for unloading the dishwasher I would do like 50p.”
