Hello Sue, your videos are already like getting my favourite magazine drop through the letterbox. Re: buying stuff - is it okay that I’m already doing that and the van doesn’t arrive until October, or am I finally losing it?! Bog box (sorry) is a brilliant idea, and I love your CampaVanya road sign above the door. Most favourite thing is still the ‘after the fact’ captions though, hilarious. Also keeping me going mate, thank you.

Hi Jane, you say the nicest things, thank you! It’s absolutely ok to be buying in preparation for collecting your van, that’s what keeps you going through the wait. Re. ‘after the fact’ captions, it’s amazing sometimes to hear what you said when you’re editing. I mean, who calls the pouring part of a kettle a nozzle? 🙄

Hi Sue, just found your channel. I happen to have the same toilet and box from Dunelm😂 Rather than lift the toilet into the box, you can just put the open box upside down over the toilet, then pop the lid on top and you have your seat/footstool as before 😊

Hi there, thank you for such a supportive comment. I’m glad the videos are useful to you. I’m still learning as I go and hope if its something you want to do in the future you go ahead and give it a go. I got my van before the price hikes thankfully and it took 4 months from start to finish. I had struggled to find a donor van to convert and the conversion company already had a couple on order so I bought one of those and the conversion through them. From what I hear recently, the demand is so far exceeding supply people are waiting a lot longer for vans and conversions. Is your van at the conversion stage now? ATB, Sue.
