A Chat About What's To Come

AD - This vlog features a gifted product from L’Occitane.
In this week’s vlog, I sit down for a good chat about what’s going on in the Gray household!
I’ve been trying to get on top of everything before half term, so I can enjoy it as much as possible and spend some time with the entire family. So lots has been happening!
I’ve just started recording the podcast again, season four will be back with you soon enough so watch this space. I’ve already had some wonderful guests on so I just know you’re going to absolutely love it.
I’ve also had lots of questions about my Members Club, who it’s suitable for (everyone!), whether it’ll be paid for and more. So I take some time to answer those this week.
My vision for the Member’s Club is for it to really be for everybody, no matter where in the world you are. Everyone is welcome! I want it to be a live community and space for us all to get to know each other, learn and support one another through life.
I’m also so indescribably excited to actually get the chance to get to know you all too! I adore my online social community already, but sometimes it can feel one-dimensional in the sense that you all know me, but I am yearning to get to know you! So this will be a chance to do so and I cannot wait.
Lastly, I’ll show you a little more of the garden room redesign, there have been some further changes and I’d love to know what you think.
Love, Charlie

Enjoy your chats. They are never boring lovely as always. Agree the sofa swap was a great idea x

[@jakecavendish3470]

I made marmalade last year, although I ran low so had to bulk it up with grated potato and some kind of cornflower stuff. It tasted absolutely awful but I shifted tons of it at the church fete. I carefully put up a "No refunds" sign on my tressle! Helen Bankes from the Old Mill was livid and threw her jar at me in the Post Office but luckily I was too nimble for her and it ended up all over a pensions poster

[@sarahkennedy1481]

Gosh! You are so open. Be careful of strange people. Looking forward to online friendship and networking. A lunch meet in London may be good.

The way Florence looks up at you melts my heart 💖 Thankyou for sharing Charlie xx

[@ask.charlie]

She is such a darling xxx

[@daisystephens4505]

[@ask.charlie]

Thank you Daisy 🥰

[@clairefox3398]

Like a lovely chat with a friend x have a wonderful weekend Charlie

[@oonaghgriffin512]

Prefer this sofa. Wasn’t sure the other green was quite right. Love the pale green of the cushions and think they all look lovely with the pinks on the cream sofa.

[@fluffyhedgehog7963]

As always your an absolute delight to listen too.

[@ask.charlie]

Thank you 😊

[@tarasnedden806]

Thank you Charlie, glad to know it’s not just us that are forever swapping furniture between rooms! I’m looking forward to hearing the podcast with Alena - hope the cake turned out to be a triumph ❤

[@ChloeAtTheFlowerBothy]

Another lovely video Charlie 💕 Can I please ask where your beautiful apron is from? I love the print! Have a great weekend x

[@maireadharkin5124]

as a x groomer , i was told to always rub under the tummy first and then on top, because most of the mud and dirt is under the tummy !! if you let the mud dry off , then brush, i hope this helps.

[@ask.charlie]

That’s a great tip thank you xxx

[@maireadharkin5124]

@@ask.charlie your very welcome.

[@carolannvincentdesigns]

I’ve absolutely loved your chats this week and was laughing out loud at your poo hunting 😂

[@ask.charlie]

It was very funny!! Xxx

[@annehamilton9189]

Lovely vlog episode. Many thanks Charlie. Do please let us have a peek at Coco’s birthday cake. Sounds very intriguing. I much prefer the sofa that is now in your garden room to the green IKEA one. I do like neutral creamy colours (we have two sofas in our sitting room, terracotta and navy and our two little terriers live to snuggle up on them) but creamy colours aren’t suitable for our home. Good luck at the boot camp. I need to do something like that soon. Have a great weekend and enjoy half term with your kiddos x

[@ask.charlie]

Thank you, we are really pleased with the swap and a bigger sofa in the drawing room works very well xxx

[@erikhanson2573]

Yes, the blue and white stripe apron is perfection. Where can we find one like it? Cozy chats are always nice. Thank you Charlie. 😎Bethany H

[@ClaireC-cn4in]

Just a thought…do you have blinds in your garden room? If not, visitors might find trouble sleeping, especially in the summer!

[@ask.charlie]

Yes we have blinds at all the windows so it can be dark and cozy xxx

[@veronicamaclean5275]

I think I missed the amount the subscription would be. Well done I think you are inspirational xx

[@ask.charlie]

Thank you so much Veronica you are so lovely. There are a few different options The Members Club will have two tiers and as such two price points. It’ll be a subscription based model of £15 a month for Tier One, and £30 a month for Tier Two. If you’d prefer an annual membership subscription, I’m offering a discounted rate of £149 per year for Tier One. Tier Two will feature everything Tier One offers, as well as your own Ask Charlie buckram A4 binder (made to order to reduce wastage), and every month’s two top tips sent direct to your home as a print out to add to your binder. I like to think of the binder as your Life Skills Manual! As the years go by, you’ll fill it with how-tos, recipes, tips, tricks and more. Hopefully that’s helpful xxx

[@nieveslehmann357]

Lovely as always 💕

[@ask.charlie]

💕 thank you 💕

[@Fleur_snowdrop]

Hi Charlie, where is your sofa bed from please? We are going to be looking for one soon! Xx

[@ask.charlie]

It’s from Sofa.com 17 years ago and still going strong x

Charlie where do you get your energy? You are up early, always on the go and busy busy busy… love to know your secret x

[@ask.charlie]

I think it’s matcha 🥰 and just have to get on! Xxx

[@countryview2020]

I think you need another trip to the auction for a settee. Don't be throwing good money after bad on the IKEA settee. Put the £600 towards a better one. I've been there and done that, lesson learned.

[@cristinapiano6190]

You sound tired😢

[@sarahkennedy1481]

I di not know how on earth you do so much. Can you not get a cleaner to help you ?

[@ask.charlie]

I do had a little help but I do most of the cleaning xxx
