So I want to talk in my videos but I haven't got any privacy where I can talk with out someone waking in and then start taking, then I have to start over again.

There's one place where I can talk with out anyone walking In but that mean taking my laptop with me and I don't want to do that. So is there any audio recoding device for £30 with 3.5mm head phone jack that I can use thanks.
 
I would seriously recommend just using the footage you have and editing. Say everything you need to say and cut out any clips where you can see/hear background noise.

Editing is essential regardless, without any editing, it's just not going to be fun to watch unless you're a ridiculously good presenter/comedian or something.

What kind of phone do you have?

There are plenty of new devices out for doing this kind of on the go vlogging. It used to be that you would need a personal audio recorder of some kind, but all phones are capable, they just have s****y mics. So, you buy a mic for your phone, and you just use that.

Don't drag around a laptop. It's stupid and plus you run the risk of damaging or getting it stolen.

You can get a Zoom H1. It's about $100 USD. It has some great audio quality. It's capable of 96kHz/24bit. Audio quality is usually better with an external mic. It's small so you can just put it in a pocket. With a small lav mic, you can record as your walking or working on other stuff. It also has a 3.5mm Head phone/Line Out jack on one side and another 3.5mm mic input on the other side.

I don't even record into a computer or laptop. They are too electrically noisy. I always record to a Zoom H1. It has a lower noise floor. It has an external level meter on the front that I can easily see and it's in db scale. The recording level is easy to adjust.

It's awesome little recorder. Well worth the money.
 
Just talk in wherever you want, if you get interrupted, stop talking pay attention to who you need to, then start where you left off. After that, just edit them out by either cutting out the portion in the audio track, custom-ly turn down the audio completely for a short time, or just some other clever trick, then edit yourself back in whenever you start. People won't mind at all as everyone experiences interruptions. Have a good one!
