Hi Caroline, completely understand your Viennetta memory about your dear Farher. My little daughter died aged 4 & she loved tubes of “ squeezy cheese” and i can’t even look at them in a supermarket many years later. These memories stay with us forever. Sending love
Dear Caroline, re Grief, lost my Dad in March and the small things are the most intimate memories of someone. They are the most innocent and I believe direct connections to our loved ones and memories. Thank you for sharing, have lost two nephews as well over the past couple of years, so processing is really important. ❤❤❤
I love your mother's sense of style Caroline- she always looks lovely in everything she wears. I also love your new bathroom and your haircut. It sounds to me like your knees are going the way mine did. I was in Ireland in 2019 and found I could walk up hills, but not down them. I later discovered that both my knees had collapsed and I've subsequently had total joint knee replacement of both knees. I carried a fair bit of weight when I was younger, not so much now. I can certainly walk a lot better these days.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday, enjoy every minute of it. I lost my husband nearly 9 years ago, almost 47 years married but together for 53 years and I have to be careful when listening to what songs come on the TV or radio because I could very easily burst into tears even to this day. I love hearing people talk about him, I once heard someone say "They are not gone if they live on the lips of people" and I feel that is so true and certainly helps with the grieving process. When you can hear people talking about loved ones you have lost, it somehow helps to ease the pain. 💔🙏
Hey Caroline 🤗 Another great video! 😊😅 My dad passed away 8 yrs ago & there are still many crying moments, not all sad! He loved summer sausage, so when i see it, i buy some in his memory. My husband sit & cut pieces, eat and talk about the good times! 🥰💜💜 Other times we try to cook his recipes 😋 & laugh/cry when we get it right or if we get it wrong! 😂😢😅 Yes, i have tupperware cabinet just like yours! 😂😮
I think accepting and facing grief is so important and your grief feature is a great idea . I was expected to just put mine away after the funeral which has been very hard . Thank you for an entertaining video x
Good morning Caroline! I really love your new hair cut. You look very pretty and summery. I also enjoyed the new format! Regarding grief- it’s like a life long condition. One never gets over lost loved ones. Grief changes you and you carry all that love within you forever. We just learn to live on. Bless you!You’re a highlight in my week❤
Caroline, it’s a natural thing to do, cry for someone you loved and spent a lot of your growing years with and as an adult and your own family , and you have wonderful memories and silly little things that trigger that memory can bring on a tirade of tears anywhere and at anytime, and it gets easier but never fades. My dad died suddenly (no time for goodbyes, which I suppose is selfish on my part) at the age of 54 and that was 1983 so 41 yrs ago, I still cry. My granddaughter is different , was only 5yrs ago and she was only 9, so it is very raw indeed. But if you feel like you want to cry even sob, don’t make any apologies, don’t hide in another room, it’s what you are feeling in your heart ♥️💔which is broken . You have I know , and you will have times when you think of something about your dad that will make you chuckle, don’t feel bad that you are smiling, it’s all lovely memories in your little golden box in the corner of your memory chamber, let the memories keep coming, it’s a big part of life, well of mine anyway that helps me carry on.xxxx think of you often xxx
Morning Caroline love your vlogs am June your aunty's Joan's neighbour it was so nice to meet your mum she is lovely as is aunty's Joan. Hope she had a good journey home. And have a lovely holiday.
I lovely vlog again . I totally get that you see things that remind you of your dad, especially as everything is just so close since his passing. When my dad passed seven years ago, I was exactly the same and the first year is raw. I’m seven years down the line from losing my dad sadly to cancer. I don’t cry so much as I did and I think of things with him of happy memories now . I still have my mum like you do. I love everything you’re doing. Your hair looks beautiful. Your house in the views are absolutely stunning. Take care of yourself and stay safe
Thanks for a great chatty vlog Caroline. I did think of you yesterday whilst out and feel your pain on reviews!! I popped into the Card Factory and as I paid, the lady promptly handed me a piece of paper with a code to scan if I wanted to leave a review! I mean really !! I just bought a card ! Such is life. Have a wonderful holiday with your family x
Your hair cut makes you look so fresh & ready for summer! I have to say the red/orange colour of your top really suits you. Containers all with the same size lid? Genius! In my experience with grief at the loss of my parents, the small things are the biggest reminder. Still happens to me now-a-days, and it's been 25 years since they passed. xo
Hi Caroline. We lost our almost sixteen year old daughter thirteen years ago to Lemierre’s Syndrome and we still find that the littlest thing that we see or hear that reminds us of her can still have an effect on us. We miss her still but it is wonderful that most of the time we remember the lovely and often funny times we shared. The thing that is so important to remember is that grief is so individual and it is often the little things that can affect us the most.
Hi, Caroline, I'm 64 and I lost my mam when I was 26 and my dad when I was 50. Smells, music and other things in every day life bring back memories of them, and quite often I have a little cry. I totally agree with you re: reviews, I can't stand it!!! Every one and their aunty wants reviews, I tend to ignore them, unless I really want to leave one. I like your hair, my hairdresser comes to my house, she only lives 2 streets away, so very handy 😊. I love a good tidy up, makes one feel happy afterwards 😅 Lovely vlog, we are off to Florida next week so looking forward to that. Hope your holiday is relaxing and fun xxx
I really agree with you about reviews. I recently was asked for a review by a large TV shopping channel. Part way through the survey changed from shopping to the up coming election, what had that got to do with my shopping for goodness sake. Anyway hope you have a fabulous holiday . I do have a Tupperware drawer as 30+ years ago I used to sell Tupperware as I had a small child at the time and it got me out of the house. Take care
Really like your bathroom Mrs M it’s lovely 🤗also nice hair & I like your red top 🤗 I too have a Tupperware cupboard like that 🤦🏻♀️Hope you have a lovely holiday ☀️🍹😎
Have a wonderful vacation. You deserve it. I hope you can share some of your adventures when you return for all of us that live vicariously through you.
Fabulous new hair cut and oh yes I have a tupperware cupboard, I open the door and there's an avalanche and I can never find the right lid so will check out your recommendation. Thanks x
hi Caroline, great idea about the grief diary. We can all talk and help each other. I lost my dad New Year’s Eve 2022 so just a year and a half ago it’s been terribly difficult at first I was in autopilot organising the funeral and his flat and I don’t think it hit me till at least eight months afterwards around my birthday actually when he wasn’t there. I didn’t see him that often, as he was away a lot before he got sick, so it seemed for awhile that he was just away.. until the family events like birthdays Christmas and the big one was the first anniversary new year just gone , which hit me very hard. I lost my job three days before Christmas as well, so it was a double whammy and I’ve been suffering quite badly bouts of grief (delayed) since. I know he wouldn’t want me to be sad, but I miss him terribly and I just have to remember that I was lucky to have him and all of her memories that we made over my lifetime and to how lucky I been to have him as a father, and I remind myself of this every time I feel down and it does help xxx Ps your hair looks fab x
Morning Caroline,really enjoyed the vlog, your hair really suits you looks a good cut it's so hard to find a good hairdresser that you click with and feel happy with the job they do but the colour and cut look amazing. The tidy my bedroom was fun to watch wish we could all do it at supper speed i always tell my self when i have finish puting things away ill keep it tidy but never do.Hope you are having a fabulous holiday ❤😊x
Hi Caroline. Loving the hair. Totally get the grief talk. I lost my mum 2 weeks ago and didn't expect to feel what I'm feeling! Just proves how much we loved them. Hope you enjoy your holiday xx
I have moments of memories of my Dad also, he was so special to me. Every time I see his favorite food or something he enjoyed it does bring tears. Never know when those memories will hit. ❤ I love your hair cut Caroline! What a nice lift, to get a change! Love ya❤
Hi Caroline, loved your rant, it’s my pet hate too. Your hair looks gorgeous. I am with you about grief, lost my Dad 3 years ago and my Father-in-Law this April, they both very elderly and it was the right time to go but gosh it’s stirred up so much emotion. Have a wonderful holiday xx
Hello Caroline! Just to let you know I really like the new format. I admire the way you reinvent yourself every so often. I just made the soup, which is absolutely delicious. Enjoy your holiday!
Lots of relevant topics today. Grief never really goes away completely it just gets easier to deal with and forgetting the bad days and remembering the goods helps us. My rant is tins of tuna,whether it be ring pull or opened with can opener I csn end up covered in juice or prising it opened with a knife. Hate them! Have a lovely holiday,love your hair.
Me again Caroline🙂. Vertigo is quite common in women after the age of 55. There is a particular medication you can take to stop it. I don't know if you've spoken to your doctor about it, but it might be an idea to do that as it will probably keep happening.
Great video, I watch you every week and rarely comment but do so enjoy your content. I lost my mum last year and find your discussion of grief very helpful, I cannot thank you enough. As for Tupperware with standard lids ! I’m glad my old man was asleep for that bit, he’d love the idea. We have a corner cupboard full of the stuff - the cupboard of doom. I might have to consider the option 💕
Morning Caroline. I found todays video really entertaining. Loved the new format 😊. The segment on grief was timely as today is the anniversary of my dad’s passing- 41 years 🥺🥺. He was 51 🥺🥺. I think it’s safe to say that over all of those years my grief has changed in intensity but I can still be caught off guard by something that will transport me back to my childhood. I hope you’re having an amazing holiday 😊. As always take care xx
Great vlog, totally agree with your rant reviews are very annoying since when did they become such a thing🤷♀️ really like your hair it really suits you, hope you have a much deserved relaxing holiday❤️👍🏻
I just wanted to say, the colour you are wearing on the Thursday section of this video is glorious on you! Your hair is also fabulous - am getting Clare Balding vibes!! Also totally agree on the rant - and I have done the 1 star review for relentless asking 😂😂 NHS services reviews are for their ‘friends and family’ rating - total nonsense really at the moment 🤷🏻♀️
Caroline you mentioned your vertigo came back ,well i suffered from it for years on and off after a cruise once, and have tablets to help when i get attacks ,but about 2yrs ago almost i discovered that not letting water into my ears when washing my hair ect has worked and i also mow dont get ear wax problems plus always keep my head back to wash hair in shower and not leaning forwards over sinks ect ,just thaught if may help ,good luck with it xx
Hi. Caroline, love the new format, the grief segment is a really good idea and will hopefully help a lot of people. Love your new haircut, it really suits you and looks very summery and will be great for your holiday. Hope you enjoy your holiday, please take care and stay safe.
Watching you fro my hospital bed,post surgery to remove a tumour and your vlog cheered me up. That soup looks lovely and I shall certainly give it a try!
Morning Caroline. Really great vlog this week. So much resonated with me!Your little piece on grief and loss was really interesting. Although I am in my seventies, and I lost my beloved father when I was 21, I still have those little moments. It is very true that you really do focus more on good times, and the feeling of grief and loss morphs into spurts of love and smiles, at sudden memories. I hope this happens for you in time Have a wonderful holiday xx
I certainly relate to your grief experience. I experienced similar things at odd moments. I think for the first year every time I left visiting my mom, as I drove out of town I would cry. Hair looks lovely. And the rant is my BIGGEST pet peeve… oh oh right on point!!!
Grief is really tough. My dads been gone almost 20 years. About 10 years after he was gone my husband and I went to a BBQ restaurant that I went to with m6 father. Special time with him as I was one of 5 girls and it was special to spend alone time with him. When I went to order my BBQ I was crying. The poor man behind the counter didn’t know what to do with my tears. I explained the situation and he was very kind pulled myself together and went on with my life. It’s no longer an out the pain of him being gone but the remembering his life/our life and those special moments. Remember to be kind to yourself. ♥️
Grief hits at the weirdest times doesn’t it. I was at Asda, they had some little bird boxes,I looked and thought how much my F-in-l would love them, then it struck me he had gone, been gone months, took me a while to compose myself
Hi Caroline enjoyed this video very much I love the weekly ones Ur hair is the nicest iv seen the colour is beautiful Regarding grief it comes in waves you never know when something like you seening the ice cream it brought something back I am the very same I cld be out walking and I cld start crying just thinking about things and at the same time hoping no one wld see me When you have happy memories you don't ever forget. I'm with you on walking up or down a hill I live on a hill and it dosnt get any easier. I hope yourself and Ashley have a fantastic holiday and make sure you rest and relax for the duration you desiver it .❤
Like the new format. Your hair really suits you. Agree about grief , it’s good to chat about it when you feel the need and still 20 years after my dad passed and 7 years since my mom many little things remind me of them and I do try to remember all the happy memories I have of them. Definitely agree about the constant request for reviews - I very annoying. I have a cupboard full of Tupperware and similar products and tidy it up then it just miraculously gets messy again. That’s a brilliant idea all having the same lid - may have a look at those!! Enjoy your holiday . Xxx
I love your bathroom Caroline, the blinds really pop out and were definitely the right choice. Regarding grief I find little things set me off too, things you don’t expect as you say. Anyway hope the vertigo is easing and the holiday is lovely ❤
Hi Caroline.Another great vlog,loving the new format.I also live in Southport and know your auntyJoan.I recognised her from the cruise vlog.Its such a small world isnt it as my dad was from Exeter and my aunty lived in Newton Abbott.I spent many happy holidays there as a child.Take care and have a lovely holiday.xx
Hello Caroline, your hair looked wonderful. It was amusing when you revealed your Tupperware cupboard; I've just decluttered my kitchen, and to give you some comfort, mine was even more chaotic than yours. The soup recipe you shared seemed and appeared delicious, and it's certainly one I plan to try. Wishing you a delightful holiday and a well-earned break. x
Good morning Caroline, lovely vlog as always. Your hair looks beautiful, and I noticed your eyebrows do too. Loved the rant! You should have reviewed the one for your doctor and told them what you really think! Your bathroom looks stunning. Have a wonderful holiday and look after yourself. xxx
Hi Caroline, Your hair looks fab'. It has made me think of mine, maybe it's time. Maybe your dizzy tiredness is another result of grief. It affects us in many ways. Regarding new friends, it's a rare lovely thing when one meets someone new and knowing you've met a new friend. I am so tired of seeing a nurse practitioner when I want to see a doctor. I do understand that many people really could do with just popping into the chemist, not having issues that really need a doctor. Anyway, a few weeks ago I bumped into my doctor in the corridor of the centre and asked her what did I have to do to see a doctor. She replied for me to phone for an appointment saying she was expecting to hear from me. Winner!! I saw her the day of the call, not being pushed out the door in ten minutes either. I wonder that it will work every time I phone. 😂 Finally, I love your vlogs, this weeks was terrific and have to say I love your strength, you're a warrior Caroline, not a review, just saying. 🤣❤
Vertigo is so upsetting and scary. I had it really badly last year, and my doctor sent me for a brain scan to make sure there was nothing causing this. They could find nothing - but one of the worst incidences was at the dentist, where they had the chair far back and then raised it quickly. I couldn't do anything for half an hour, and then had to call my husband to pick me up, as I was afraid to drive as I was still feeling so nauseous and dizzy. I have been sleeping with two very thick pillows, and getting out of bed slowly and it's been fine for months. However, I am undergoing some radiation treatment at the moment and it's happening all over again when I try to get up from the treatment bed. My nurse suggested it might be from the very deep breaths I have to take during the session - but all I know is that it is awful. You need to go and see about it. Your bathroom is amazing - such good choices! Have a wonderful holiday.
Hi Caroline, I can totally relate to your experience with grief. Bathroom transformation is great and your hair looks lovely. Love the weekly rant idea 😁 x
Depending on type of vertigo, if it’s BPPV, a physio therapist who specializes may be able to help. I just also had awful vertigo after a 17 day cruise. Different from above -resolved finally with seasickness meds. I wasn’t seasick at all but landsick!Hope you feel better
Thank you for the chat about your Dad, after my Mum went in Feb, I have been exactly the same, she was same age as your Dad and immobile, had Parkinson’s, it was her time, no quality of life, but didn’t think it would affect me so much ❤❤❤xx….have a wonderful holiday! X
Omg you look georgeous in red. That chowder is so tasty. Plus you made me cry as my dad died the Wednesday after father's day last year then I had my mastectomy.....it made me cry but sometimes I need a clear out of tears xx
I am going through anticipatory grief right now. My husband, who is quite young has brain lesions and cancer, one of the lesions is growing in the frontal lobes and has caused early-onset dementia. For me, the things that make me cry are songs playing in grocery or department stores that ignite memories and of course, tears start to fall, which can be quite mortifying.
Hi lovely Caroline , luv the new format ....the rant is fab...🤭🤭, also that gorgeous coral top you were wearing really suits you , along with your new hairdo...., luved seeing your elegant mum , what a small world it is ...., i think as you say we all have an understanding of grief , and its so good to share these feelings . you have packed so much in this week , i did laugh at your tupperware cupboard, 😊😊, we all have one.....along with the under the sink one , which i have just sorted....you have a most fab holiday , you deserve the break , look forward to hearing about it ...xxxx🥰🥰🥰🥰
I can relate, its always the small things that start me off crying about my mum i lost to dementia. Loved today's video, and the bathroom splashes of pink look lovely, and the picture like a capture in a magazine. Your hair is lovely, you look very youthful . Oh yes my Tupperware cupboard is a replica of yours 😆🤣
Your hairdresser did a great job of your hair. Funny how we can never get it to be the same way when doing it ourselves. Agree with you about the reviews. Very annoying. But love the subject matter - love to see what other folk are ranting about. Currently my rant is about coffee. So hate it when you go into a coffee shop and ask for a black coffee and it comes very short of the cup - almost half at times. Obviously I can ask for hot water but be good to be reminded first. Loved the soup recipe 😊
I am a bit late watching Caroline but I loved this vlog. Must try the soup recipe. You really suit red by the way. Grief is a funny thing. You are ok and then the slightest thing can bring it all back. With me it’s often werthers originals as my late husband loved them. Have a lovely holidayxx oh and by the way I had to go to the doctors on Friday and before I got home I had an email asking for a review. Perhaps if they put those resources into providing a faster service there would be no need for reviews.
Great vlog, Caroline. Your hair looks lovely. I have an appointment today. I thought my hair was looking a bit wild and woolly and realised that it’s been close to three months since my last cut. I seriously thought it had only been about a month. Where does the year go? Hope you have a fabulous holiday.
Hi Caroline I started getting dizzy spells and a sort of aura. I can feel when they are about to start and they leave my quite tired . I thought I was about to have an epileptic fit. Had all the tests and brain scans and the results was migraine. So agree re reviews. I just stopped replying. Love your videos ❤
I love a rant & yours rang very true with me, the constant request for reviews is ridiculous. I will give a review, good or bad, on some products but I buy a lot of presents online so it’s not possible to review them & like you say they just don’t give up!
Hair looks lovely. Have a great holiday. Laughed at your rant. I order incontinence pants for my mum and am always asked for a review. Was the delivery OK, were the pants ok, etc. I just feel like saying, refer to previous reviews. They do what they say on the tin!! Wish I could speed myself up to get all the tidying done like you did. Feeling inspired to do it though. 😊

Vertigo is vile, after seeing the doctor, which is essential, I was told to take Stugeron which really helps.
Love the new hair👍 and also you really suit red, it's very flattering on you.

Lovely video. We have been away, catching up with everything now.Have a wonderful holiday.

Loved everything about this vlogg, Caroline, hair gorgeous, home made soup looked delicious, and grief diary, very touching.

My rant is tins of tuna,whether it be ring pull or opened with can opener I csn end up covered in juice or prising it opened with a knife. Hate them! Have a lovely holiday,love your hair.
Me again Caroline🙂. Vertigo is quite common in women after the age of 55. There is a particular medication you can take to stop it. I don't know if you've spoken to your doctor about it, but it might be an idea to do that as it will probably keep happening.
Great video, I watch you every week and rarely comment but do so enjoy your content. I lost my mum last year and find your discussion of grief very helpful, I cannot thank you enough. As for Tupperware with standard lids ! I’m glad my old man was asleep for that bit, he’d love the idea. We have a corner cupboard full of the stuff - the cupboard of doom. I might have to consider the option 💕
Morning Caroline. I found todays video really entertaining. Loved the new format 😊. The segment on grief was timely as today is the anniversary of my dad’s passing- 41 years 🥺🥺. He was 51 🥺🥺. I think it’s safe to say that over all of those years my grief has changed in intensity but I can still be caught off guard by something that will transport me back to my childhood. I hope you’re having an amazing holiday 😊. As always take care xx
Great vlog, totally agree with your rant reviews are very annoying since when did they become such a thing🤷♀️ really like your hair it really suits you, hope you have a much deserved relaxing holiday❤️👍🏻
Have a lovely holiday ⛱️🐚🩴
I just wanted to say, the colour you are wearing on the Thursday section of this video is glorious on you! Your hair is also fabulous - am getting Clare Balding vibes!!
Also totally agree on the rant - and I have done the 1 star review for relentless asking 😂😂
NHS services reviews are for their ‘friends and family’ rating - total nonsense really at the moment 🤷🏻♀️
Caroline you mentioned your vertigo came back ,well i suffered from it for years on and off after a cruise once, and have tablets to help when i get attacks ,but about 2yrs ago almost i discovered that not letting water into my ears when washing my hair ect has worked and i also mow dont get ear wax problems plus always keep my head back to wash hair in shower and not leaning forwards over sinks ect ,just thaught if may help ,good luck with it xx
Thank you I still can’t have Jaffa Cakes in the house my Hubbys Fav and he passed 10 yrs ago Grief has no boundaries .. Hair is lovely 🥰 x
Hi. Caroline, love the new format, the grief segment is a really good idea and will hopefully help a lot of people. Love your new haircut, it really suits you and looks very summery and will be great for your holiday. Hope you enjoy your holiday, please take care and stay safe.
Watching you fro my hospital bed,post surgery to remove a tumour and your vlog cheered me up. That soup looks lovely and I shall certainly give it a try!
Feel better soon, wishing you a super speedy recovery x
Morning Caroline. Really great vlog this week. So much resonated with me!Your little piece on grief and loss was really interesting. Although I am in my seventies, and I lost my beloved father when I was 21, I still have those little moments. It is very true that you really do focus more on good times, and the feeling of grief and loss morphs into spurts of love and smiles, at sudden memories. I hope this happens for you in time Have a wonderful holiday xx
I certainly relate to your grief experience. I experienced similar things at odd moments. I think for the first year every time I left visiting my mom, as I drove out of town I would cry. Hair looks lovely. And the rant is my BIGGEST pet peeve… oh oh right on point!!!
Grief is really tough. My dads been gone almost 20 years. About 10 years after he was gone my husband and I went to a BBQ restaurant that I went to with m6 father. Special time with him as I was one of 5 girls and it was special to spend alone time with him. When I went to order my BBQ I was crying. The poor man behind the counter didn’t know what to do with my tears. I explained the situation and he was very kind pulled myself together and went on with my life. It’s no longer an out the pain of him being gone but the remembering his life/our life and those special moments. Remember to be kind to yourself. ♥️
Hi Caroline your bathroom look amazing . Have a relaxing holiday. Hair look lovely 👌🏾🙌🏾
Grief hits at the weirdest times doesn’t it. I was at Asda, they had some little bird boxes,I looked and thought how much my F-in-l would love them, then it struck me he had gone, been gone months, took me a while to compose myself
Hi Caroline enjoyed this video very much I love the weekly ones
Ur hair is the nicest iv seen the colour is beautiful
Regarding grief it comes in waves you never know when something like you seening the ice cream it brought something back I am the very same I cld be out walking and I cld start crying just thinking about things and at the same time hoping no one wld see me
When you have happy memories you don't ever forget.
I'm with you on walking up or down a hill I live on a hill and it dosnt get any easier.
I hope yourself and Ashley have a fantastic holiday and make sure you rest and relax for the duration you desiver it .❤
Love the hair, makes you look younger!! X
Hope you're having a lovely holiday ❤😊
Like the new format. Your hair really suits you. Agree about grief , it’s good to chat about it when you feel the need and still 20 years after my dad passed and 7 years since my mom many little things remind me of them and I do try to remember all the happy memories I have of them.
Definitely agree about the constant request for reviews - I very annoying. I have a cupboard full of Tupperware and similar products and tidy it up then it just miraculously gets messy again. That’s a brilliant idea all having the same lid - may have a look at those!!
Enjoy your holiday . Xxx
What a lovely vlog Caroline 💖 your hair looks fantastic. Have a great holiday xxx
Love your haircut! I grieved the loss of my dad in a similar way- it’s the small things. Hugs
I love your bathroom Caroline, the blinds really pop out and were definitely the right choice. Regarding grief I find little things set me off too, things you don’t expect as you say. Anyway hope the vertigo is easing and the holiday is lovely ❤
Hi Caroline.Another great vlog,loving the new format.I also live in Southport and know your auntyJoan.I recognised her from the cruise vlog.Its such a small world isnt it as my dad was from Exeter and my aunty lived in Newton Abbott.I spent many happy holidays there as a child.Take care and have a lovely holiday.xx
So true about reviews.they are a pain, enjoying your new format,cheers me up.have a fabulous holiday x
Hello Caroline, your hair looked wonderful. It was amusing when you revealed your Tupperware cupboard; I've just decluttered my kitchen, and to give you some comfort, mine was even more chaotic than yours. The soup recipe you shared seemed and appeared delicious, and it's certainly one I plan to try. Wishing you a delightful holiday and a well-earned break. x
I feel your pain regarding plastic containers cupboard! I like your solution I may give it a go.
Love the new format. Hair looks so nice. Have a lovely relaxing holiday. xx
Good morning Caroline, lovely vlog as always. Your hair looks beautiful, and I noticed your eyebrows do too. Loved the rant! You should have reviewed the one for your doctor and told them what you really think! Your bathroom looks stunning. Have a wonderful holiday and look after yourself. xxx
Hi Caroline, Your hair looks fab'. It has made me think of mine, maybe it's time.
Maybe your dizzy tiredness is another result of grief. It affects us in many ways.
Regarding new friends, it's a rare lovely thing when one meets someone new and knowing you've met a new friend.
I am so tired of seeing a nurse practitioner when I want to see a doctor. I do understand that many people really could do with just popping into the chemist, not having issues that really need a doctor. Anyway, a few weeks ago I bumped into my doctor in the corridor of the centre and asked her what did I have to do to see a doctor. She replied for me to phone for an appointment saying she was expecting to hear from me. Winner!! I saw her the day of the call, not being pushed out the door in ten minutes either. I wonder that it will work every time I phone. 😂
Finally, I love your vlogs, this weeks was terrific and have to say I love your strength, you're a warrior Caroline, not a review, just saying. 🤣❤
Vertigo is so upsetting and scary. I had it really badly last year, and my doctor sent me for a brain scan to make sure there was nothing causing this. They could find nothing - but one of the worst incidences was at the dentist, where they had the chair far back and then raised it quickly. I couldn't do anything for half an hour, and then had to call my husband to pick me up, as I was afraid to drive as I was still feeling so nauseous and dizzy. I have been sleeping with two very thick pillows, and getting out of bed slowly and it's been fine for months. However, I am undergoing some radiation treatment at the moment and it's happening all over again when I try to get up from the treatment bed. My nurse suggested it might be from the very deep breaths I have to take during the session - but all I know is that it is awful. You need to go and see about it. Your bathroom is amazing - such good choices! Have a wonderful holiday.
Love your new hair cut and the orangey/ red top.
Really like the new format
Great video thanks. I love the new segments ,your hair looks lovely and your skin looks beautiful. Have a great holiday love 😊
Hi Caroline, I can totally relate to your experience with grief. Bathroom transformation is great and your hair looks lovely.
Love the weekly rant idea 😁 x
Hi Caroline, your hair looks lovely,enjoy your holiday xx
Fab vlog. Enjoyed all the parts from rant, greif chat to soup making and everything else. I had many chuckles throughout. Hair looks lovely.
I love the white shirt you're wearing at the beginning of this video, and I really am impressed with the new haircut. It makes a big difference.
Depending on type of vertigo, if it’s BPPV, a physio therapist who specializes may be able to help.
I just also had awful vertigo after a 17 day cruise. Different from above -resolved finally with seasickness meds. I wasn’t seasick at all but landsick!Hope you feel better
Really like the new format and segments but every time there is a ding dong my Wilson 🐶 goes berserk 😂
Thank you for the chat about your Dad, after my Mum went in Feb, I have been exactly the same, she was same age as your Dad and immobile, had Parkinson’s, it was her time, no quality of life, but didn’t think it would affect me so much ❤❤❤xx….have a wonderful holiday! X
I really enjoyed today's vlog, the new little segments are great.
I hope your holiday is going well 🌞
Omg you look georgeous in red. That chowder is so tasty. Plus you made me cry as my dad died the Wednesday after father's day last year then I had my mastectomy.....it made me cry but sometimes I need a clear out of tears xx
Love the rant! 😆 x
So agree about the endless review requests…..I now just delete unless I need to really complain!!
I am going through anticipatory grief right now. My husband, who is quite young has brain lesions and cancer, one of the lesions is growing in the frontal lobes and has caused early-onset dementia. For me, the things that make me cry are songs playing in grocery or department stores that ignite memories and of course, tears start to fall, which can be quite mortifying.
Oh Helen, I’m so sorry you’re going through such a tough time. My thoughts are with you and your family x
Hi lovely Caroline , luv the new format ....the rant is fab...🤭🤭, also that gorgeous coral top you were wearing really suits you , along with your new hairdo...., luved seeing your elegant mum , what a small world it is ...., i think as you say we all have an understanding of grief , and its so good to share these feelings . you have packed so much in this week , i did laugh at your tupperware cupboard, 😊😊, we all have one.....along with the under the sink one , which i have just sorted....you have a most fab holiday , you deserve the break , look forward to hearing about it ...xxxx🥰🥰🥰🥰
I can relate, its always the small things that start me off crying about my mum i lost to dementia. Loved today's video, and the bathroom splashes of pink look lovely, and the picture like a capture in a magazine. Your hair is lovely, you look very youthful . Oh yes my Tupperware cupboard is a replica of yours 😆🤣
Hi Caroline I hope you have a wonderful holiday.we are going on 11/6 and I am so excited.😀
Your new tub looks glorious!
Hi Caroline, I completely agree with you about reviews. It really gets on my wick. 😀😀
Totally agree with your rant, I also find it annoying people asking for reviews all the time.
Hello Caroline. Hair looked lovely. Loved the bathroom refurb, seemed to take forever...for you too I should think. Have a wonderful holiday x
Your hairdresser did a great job of your hair. Funny how we can never get it to be the same way when doing it ourselves. Agree with you about the reviews. Very annoying. But love the subject matter - love to see what other folk are ranting about. Currently my rant is about coffee. So hate it when you go into a coffee shop and ask for a black coffee and it comes very short of the cup - almost half at times. Obviously I can ask for hot water but be good to be reminded first. Loved the soup recipe 😊
Don’t stop the HRT if you felt any better on it as far as sleeping goes all the good effects will immediately disappear. Vicki
Caroline, you look years younger with your new Hairstyle and your Bathroom is exquisite. x
Love your new hairstyle, really suits you Caroline, and wow how good do you look in red. Thanks for your vlog.
Lovely vlog, and a great haircut! Agree about the review issue, drives me nuts!
Have a fabulous holiday ☀️😎
Love your new hairstyle, it really suits you ❤
I am a bit late watching Caroline but I loved this vlog. Must try the soup recipe. You really suit red by the way. Grief is a funny thing. You are ok and then the slightest thing can bring it all back. With me it’s often werthers originals as my late husband loved them. Have a lovely holidayxx oh and by the way I had to go to the doctors on Friday and before I got home I had an email asking for a review. Perhaps if they put those resources into providing a faster service there would be no need for reviews.
You're so right about the NHS! Funnily enough, my dad absolutely loved Werthers Originals as well - they were his favourites!
Great vlog, Caroline. Your hair looks lovely. I have an appointment today. I thought my hair was looking a bit wild and woolly and realised that it’s been close to three months since my last cut. I seriously thought it had only been about a month. Where does the year go? Hope you have a fabulous holiday.
Hiya Caroline I love your bathroom and I love your rants! 😂
I love this format Caroline ❤
Hi Caroline I started getting dizzy spells and a sort of aura. I can feel when they are about to start and they leave my quite tired . I thought I was about to have an epileptic fit. Had all the tests and brain scans and the results was migraine. So agree re reviews. I just stopped replying. Love your videos ❤
I love a rant & yours rang very true with me, the constant request for reviews is ridiculous. I will give a review, good or bad, on some products but I buy a lot of presents online so it’s not possible to review them & like you say they just don’t give up!
At least you can open your Tupperware cupboard and nothing falls out whereas mine cascades on to the floor 😂😂. Love the hair by the way.
The speed cleaning was fun to watch for sure lol,, good vlog,, enjoy your holiday !
Hi happy holidays Caroline !
Loved the new format ,but like anything if I’m honest Thanks 🏴🌸
Oooh, love your new hairstyle! Very pretty😊
Hair looks lovely. Have a great holiday. Laughed at your rant. I order incontinence pants for my mum and am always asked for a review. Was the delivery OK, were the pants ok, etc. I just feel like saying, refer to previous reviews. They do what they say on the tin!!
Wish I could speed myself up to get all the tidying done like you did. Feeling inspired to do it though. 😊
