    How I love your videos. I love them on a Sunday better than a news paper nothing depressing!! I'm a 67 year old widow and I need to tell you that your voice is so soothing and has helped me with anxiety and depression. Spending a lot of time in charity shops as I have lost 5 stones. I take a pile of clothes that are too big and get ones that fit. Win Win. Don't have a cat but do have a 12 month sorocker spaniel. Loony tunes but so much fun. Keep up your videos. Jen x😊😊

    Hi Mr C, I am so happy you are keeping the Sunday vlogs coming! I love them being part of my Sunday morning routine (currently crochet, coffee and Mr C). Regarding bulk buys.. I have a small apartment, not much room - so I keep to the "two is one" rule - I do an inventory once a month and always have one extra of everyday toiletries, cleaning and kitchen items that I keep in a cupboard I call "The Shop". It keeps me stocked up I never run out and means I don't over purchase. Once you get into the routine it's easy and stress free... hope this helps someone! X❤

    I’m guessing Hermes for handbag because of the handle and clasp but I could be very wrong 😂. Those fairy lights take me right back to my childhood. They seemed so much prettier back in the day. When my Gran died we found a set from 60+ years ago and they still worked. My mum remembered them from living at home. Can’t wait to see what else you’ve picked up. I totally admire how you’ve done your home and your vision to change up what you already have.

    Sunday morning is the best time for a vloggy vlog. Here it's 9:00 am, a bit late for me, but I've adapted my Sunday routine to Luke's and your videos. Love to have my breakfast with you😊. Also love to see Pumpkin and Mittens. I think my Molly likes Pumpkin 🤭
    I've learned a lot of vocabulary and sayings with you and I love your accent, its very easy to understand. Today's "bend your ear" I didn't know, had to look it up.
    When choosing flooring, take in mind your cats colour, so you can't see much cat hair on the floor. I prefer the darker ones of your samples, but of course you have to combine with your furniture, so the one you are thinking of will sure look lovely in your home. Can't wait to see the makeover.
    I don't know if anyone has made any comment on this, but I love the music that you put while showing things without commenting, specially at the car boot sales, its just the perfect music.
    O my gosh! The heated blanket is lovely. My cats would love it, (and me too)
    I don't have a clue about the handbag.
    Couldn't help laughing at Pumpkin trying to throw the tray off the bedside table. Maybe you should give up and at night time take things out and put a blanket for him to sleep on 😼
    Great chatty chat with you throughout your video. I think I bend your ear too, if it can be applied.
    Have a great Sunday Iwan. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain.

    Omg Iwan 😅 I spat my tea at the Lazy Susan in the bedroom 😅 you actually blushed 😊 . I also imagined Pumpkin spinning with his paw at 3.30 a.m with an evil grin 😁. Have a good day ❤

    I rarely comment on your videos, although I enjoy them very much. I have to say, I love your shopping/saving strategy. It's very similar to mine. A few cents and dollars increase on each product adds up over time. Shopping differently for everyday essentials is an Art form. I feel as if you (and I) have finely honed this skill😊.

  • @billbruff9613
    @billbruff9613 4 месяца назад +1

    Your "lazy susan" bedside tray is a great idea. A suggestion. There is a type of gummy product used by museums to secure statues and other pieces from falling. When living in San Francisco USA one such product was called shake proof, so you could secure vases, decorations and other breakables against earthquakes. A small piece under each gold leg could secure the entire piece from casual knockdowns by Pumpkin. Won't discolor furniture nor adhere to the item. Give it a try.

    Hi Iwan, almost an hour long vlog...yes! Flooring is going to look wonderful...we are having new flooring installed & also trying to empty out rooms, it's amazing how much we accumulate. Pumpkin knocking things off your nightstand...priceless. Pumpkin and Mittens are just adorable, I love their personalities. Thank you so much for sharing, really enjoyed watching. Take really good care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💜Canada

    Love spending Sunday morning with you Mr C. Listening to your relaxing dulcet tones and watching the kittens. Have been enjoying your travel blogs too bringing light to these somewhat dark cold winter days. I put new floors in 18 months ago as i also have cats who loved scratching up my carpets. Little darlings 🤣. I chose vinyl waterproof boards which are amazing and look so realistic they are also warm underfoot and non slip on the stairs. They make for easy clean up when my furry cat decides to cough up fur balls lol. I agree with you around food shopping, i have def changed the way i shop in last two years, no big shops now but i do get deliveries for cat food, cat litter and any heavy items i need to stock up on. My shopping was getting out of hand, i am on my own and really dont have room for the storage and anyway if its not in front of me i forget i have bought it. I am doing more crafty stuff, taken up machine embroidery and started sewing again. I have a dedicated space, my garden cabin, which makes me feel i have escaped the house for a couple of hrs. I love your tips and ideas for changjng things up but as i am now older i do less diy than i used to but love watching how you transform your space. You are def a blessing along with catherine (Dainty) and luke. I also love (jonna jinton) from sweden and paola (the cottage fairy)from states who have a similar thoughtful positive vibe to you. I think of you as family so kerp on doing what you are doing. Stay blessed ❤

    Hi Mr C! I've been up since silly o'clock this morning and it's about time for a sit down with a nice cup of tea and assorted pastries. Nothing like seeing the sunshine during the last dregs of the weekend and watching your vlogs are always great to pass an hour (well almost) in the warm. The kitchen is gorgeous but I knew it would be and your travelogue has been nudging me to get to booking some short trips to Europe. Hope you have a great week and I'll see you on the next one.

  • @tfcasper
    @tfcasper 6 месяцев назад

    Great Vlog as always. On your floor choices, do pay attention to the thickness of the flooring. Especially if you are doing laminate flooring because the thinner ones do feel flimsy and sometimes sound like plastic when you walk on them. You may have to choose based on what will work with your existing floors, doors, walls and other things, but go thicker if you can.

    I am so pleased that you have found an upload schedule that's working, and if it's not broken, don't fix it. 😂
    The open cabinet in the kitchen looks stunning with all your white kitchen wear on it.
    And yes, the price of things has made me massively change up my shopping habits.
    I now make my own washing powder and home cleaning products.
    And batch cooking, then freezing the dinners and airfrying to warm it through.
    Things have been going up by crazy amounts of money.
    Maybe you could do a Mr. Carrington's savers segment so we can all find bargains and savings.
    Crazy how the cost of living prices has gone.
    Can't wait for the rest of your planned uploads.
    Stay blessed and warm.

    We put laminate throughout our house and it truly elevated the feel of our home. It was NOT the inexpensive choice but we knew we didn't want the upkeep on wood. Our flooring has helped insulate the foundation and retain heat in the winter. We went with a very dark coffee color and everyone who comes to our house seems to really like it and comment about them. Having one color and texture throughout the house makes our house look quite large. Good luck with your flooring whatever you choose.

    Have you considered placing a rolling island below the found hutch you installed. It could rolled out when needed and tucked away when not in use. This way the tall cabinet idea in the corner could be installed, providing all that extra storage. IKEA has a pull out waste storage system that can go in cabinet. Just a thought.

    Really enjoyed todays Vloggy Vlog, thank you. Naughty Pumpkin and trying to push that lazy Susan on the floor! We used to shut our cat downstairs, he had the the whole bottom of the house to use. We had to do this as he used to wake me (not my husband, it was always me!) around 3.30am funny enough too! However I used to find my glasses on the floor and anything else on my side table by the settee! Smoked Oak looked nice, I prefered the darker Harvest one personally but think you may be right about the furniture clashing so the lighter one better. Kitchen re-fresh sounds cool, look forward to that. Shopping prices, yes bulk buys, discount vouchers can usually be found online for various items and loo rolls became a pet subject of mine years ago, some really silly prices out there, and some good bargains too if you keep your eye out. Supermarkets often do some great deals and I grab them when they do have special offers. Is the bag Dior?? Have a great week Iwan x

I agree with your choice of wooden floor it’s the one I would choose ,it will be so easy kept and with the little knot through it , never get a perfectly plain one as it doesn’t,t look right it takes the knot in it to make it more real looking . Don,t take your good quality kitchen out as they don,t make them as good nowadays , a new worktop and change of tiles would look really well , a nice wooden look worktop is beautiful with sage green units and plain wall tiles . I think nice deep skirting boards would be nice in your rooms with the wooden floors ,I would paint the skirting boards white. All the best with your plans

    I have exactly the same lazy Susan (poor Susan being called lazy) in cream from TEMU - 11.02" in diameter (so the large size) - £3.57 or £7.17 in green... Prices are variable but within 90 days if they change in price, they refund you the difference - it may reduce more than once so I think each time it reduces, they will refund you - you get it in seconds if you take it back as credit.
    Loving the flooring choices. We have a realistic laminate but gaps have appeared. A cpl dogs 'accidents' (tends to happen when we're out), have cause some swelling (as well as the cleaning process of lots of Dettol 😮) so we need to change our flooring too. It's been down many years though and other than those accidents - there are zero other signs of wear and tear so its been a brilliantly hard wearing choice. My husband fitted it too so it basically owes us nothing. Need to redo conservatory and get rid of the natural Welsh slate in the kitchen as it is miserable to take care of and is so dark in a north east facing kitchen. We have the same plans for kitchen - painting doors, new worktop, sink, hob (although not vital as no issues with it) and the tiles too... so much money thpugh. However, we LOVE our house and neighbours so don't want to have to move! So good luck on your renovations and updates. Will keep watching with intrigue as to how you get on! I bet you definitely beat us to it!

    Hello from cape Breton Nova Scotia🇨🇦 Happy Sunday morning everyone 😊 it has been snowing here since Friday and we will potentially see about 4 feet of snow by the time Tuesday comes 😢.
    Iwan I so enjoy seeing the kitties❤ I have come to know the difference between the two only by their personalities as they both look so similar to me. Not much to do today but watch youtube and so glad you have a nice long one to start the day. P.S.Oh my goodness the baked goods look amazing enjoy ☕✌😎

    I can not believe I was up 30 minutes after this loaded...Best cat toy ever! Which wasn't what you had in mind for the lazy Susan but still. You can attempt to put non skid pads underneath but once he figures out it spins all games are off. Of course, you now have a new idea about what to add to the toy list...Re new kitchen bench top, keep the cut outs for the sink and stovetop as they make great cutting boards. I like the flooring color you finally chose. I had thought the darker would be better but agree w/you about competing colors and I think it would show dirt and claw marks more easily. Loved this vlog and really enjoy visiting with you guys on Sunday mornings just maybe not at 3 in the morning. LOL!

    Hey Mr. C! My Lily is like your Mittens. She doesn't like being held, but she'll curl up and sleep on my lap for ages. My legs get tired after a while. I am moving on Feb. 12th!! Regarding spending habits, I have pared mine down quite a bit. I have given away a lot of decor, pictures and some furniture to a neighbor on my floor. I like the Smoked Oak for your new flooring. It will add a lighter element to your home. Ok, now the big guess the handbag question. Is it a vintage HERMES?? 🗼🗼🗼 Ooh la la

    My cat often places itself in camera view on team meetings and training sessions I do at my dining room table. As soon as she hears me talking to others online it's like a switch in her brain, right, now I make my appearance! They know how to make themselves known do cats. When your cats miaow on the vlogs I often wonder if it's my cat Lola miaowing. Your cats are gorgeous I love tabby cats, and all cats.

    Yes watching you snuggled in bed with two of my dogs. My mother was a savvy shopper so I learnt from an early age to shop around, inturn my daughters learnt from me and one is even more savvy than me. When my son met his wife she too was savvy so I feel pleased that my children know the value of money. I still like going shopping in shops probably my age 😂. Excellent vlog Iwan

    Thanks for a lovely vlog, Mr C. Dusty surfaces - bane of my life! I swear the dust just hangs around till you’ve gone then flings itself back again. I liked Pumpkin’s “move this item” action. And I am snuggled under a heated blanket as I watch!

    I’m a little old school and I’ve been making big stews in the slow cooker. I freeze a lot as well and I do the same with homemade cottage pie. Doing this definitely saves money. I think the bag is a Chanel 👜🌼🌺🌸

    We did our hall in laminate a couple of years ago we were very impressed like you it had been years since we had used it it is much more realistic these days. I agree with the lighter colour we did the family room in a light oak and the dining room in a darker one although the darker one is beautiful I wish now I had used a lighter one as it really darkens the room.

    Hello Mr Carrington
    Great vlog this morning 👍👍
    Wished I had an Eric’s local to me - those pastries were to die for 😋😋
    Loving listening to your upcoming house projects and I so envy you having that amazing loft room with the velux windows being able to have the contrast of pouring rain and moon lit views over London 🥰🥰
    Regarding everyday shopping items increasing so greatly in price - I’ve recently found some great subscription essentials on Amazon that get delivered straight to your door at a great price and you have the option of changing the reorder dates too 👍👍
