[@jacquiliddell7680]

Ahh so sad about Ron, but 21 what a brilliant age,. I know you loved him❤

[@jackiestewart5062]

Zero tolerance is the best way to deal with issues, probably in all walks of life, sometimes easier said than done, but I would sometimes become upset reading some comments and then I would want to retaliate, but made sure to keep my fingers off the keyboard. You do a wonderful job with your channel, Caroline, and I think 99% of your viewers are watching for the right reason of supporting you, and obviously enjoying your varied content.

[@CarolineMrsM]

Absolutely agree, 99% are so lovely.

[@christinemalone]

So sorry about Ron, I’m a cat person so always enjoyed the little glimpses we had of him. Happy new year Caroline , you are looking fab btw xx

[@marionbarrie4623]

Happy new year Caroline I just have to let you know how much I love your input on KZbin. I was chatting with a friend the other day and she said ‘who is this Caroline you keep talking about??) I feel like you are a good friend who could drop in any time and we would know each other, so keep up your good work, I am an 88 year old lady in Australia and enjoy you chatter about anything and everything. I wish both you and Ashley good health and happiness for 2025 As they say in Scotland ‘lang may yer lum reek’ From Gr. Grandma of 10 Marion 🥳🇦🇺

[@CarolineMrsM]

Thank you so much for your lovely words, Marion, so much appreciated, lovely to know that my little channel has made connections all over the world, it's a really special thing. Happy New Year to your and yours!

[@suenicholls5446]

💕😀xx thanks Caroline. I love to see your book choices.Abuse is NEVER acceptable 🥰

[@Jo_J_]

Sorry to hear of Ron's passing, but wow, he lived a long life. Best wishes to you and your family for 2025 😊

[@moirajack]

So sorry to hear about Ron, our pets are a very precious part of our families. ❤

[@ginastann1959]

Ahhh so sorry to hear about poor old Ron , I’m sure your going to really miss him as we all will ❤ well done on reaching 25,000 by the way , well deserved ❤

[@Teen123ish]

Happy new year Caroline and, as always, thank you for your vlogs. Sorry to hear about poor Ron, like you said.. our pets are part of our family. Wishing you well in 2025. Btw you looked lovely in the video x

[@dawnhookey6919]

Sorry to hear about Ron passing away My dog also passed away over Xmas, he was 13yr old, we also had to take him which was absolutely heartbreaking and I’m still balling my eyes out 1 week on But let’s try and move on and hope for better times Happy new year to you all ❤

[@willowgirl2635]

You look radiant in this video Caroline. I agree you carry your melancholy with you. Our old cat crossed on the 24th December so perhaps he met Ron and they are kittenish together again. Looking forward to your videos in 2025.

[@CarolineMrsM]

Oh so sorry for your loss as well. Our pets really are part of our family, aren't they.

[@larainedaultrey6137]

Sorry for your loss Caroline. We enjoyed seeing lovey Ron up close when he said hello in one of your recent videos ❤

[@KarenG.-qs7wc]

So sorry to hear about Ron. I know how it feels. My beloved cat Dorie died aged 21 of old age😢 and my other beloved cat Betsy died of leukemia aged only 6 😢 I was heartbroken by both their deaths.💔 💔😢 I love cats so do know how you feel.🙏❤ Wishing you all the Best for 2025.❤🌻☀️

[@kookiemonster9222]

Very sorry to hear about dear Ron. We pay a huge price in tears when we lose our animal companions but they are worth every teardrop. Talking about losses at Christmas - I hear the voices of my mum & dad echoing. It hurts my heart but I don’t want to forget them. As usual you have cheered me up. Happy New Year xxx

[@gwynethowen1511]

How do you do it? Every single video that you make is entertaining, informative and more importantly, fun!! You quite rightly say that you feel yourself that your hard work has been successful. 🥇Wishing you and your family a fabulous 2025.🎉

[@CarolineMrsM]

Wow, thank you!

[@BusyBeeMaree]

❤Have a fab 2025 Caroline❤

[@JoanMassey-w5f]

When we lost our son someone said to us “ you never get over it, you learn to live with it “ and that’s so true. ❤

[@CarolineMrsM]

So sorry, the very hardest loss to bear, I can only imagine.

[@jeanniemyers8361]

Happy New Year Caroline, love your idea of "gently" going into the new year. So sad about Ron, I had to put my fur baby down last year also, she was twenty years old. I live alone, so had to adopt another kitten... Purrl. I have followed you for years, and enjoy all your content so much. Looking forward to another year! You look wonderful by the way.

[@lowannkrueger3929]

Love this video! Sharing from the heart, setting boundaries. So sorry to hear about your kitty! Looking forward to the upcoming year!

[@siantowers1243]

So sorry to hear about your and Ashley's loss .Looking forward to watching your vlogs in 2025.Wishing you and your family all the best for 2025 .xx.

[@janettesinclair6279]

Happy New Year and may 2025 be a year filled with all the good stuff that you enjoy sharing with us. Sad news about Ron, but if it was his time to go, he had a long and happy life with you.

[@lindaallen78]

Bit late commenting on this, as I have totally missed Christmas, due to being ill. Think I have turned my corner now. 🙏 So, so, sorry to hear about Ron's passing. My neighbour had to have one of her cats put to sleep on Christmas Eve. He used to visit us for belly rubs. My own cat was in her twenties when she sadly died. Always look forward to your videos. By the way I thought you looked radiant today. Happy New Year! xx

[@CarolineMrsM]

Hope you're feeling better, Linda x

[@sharonwaters2994]

So sorry to hear about your Ron, he was an amazing age. Hope the New Year brings you health and happiness. Carry on doing the fantastic videos that you do. Congratulations to Ashley on his big birthday too. Take care

[@jstanders6973]

Great to see you Caroline and you look radiant..Lovely.. I'm 56 mid Feb and I feel exactly the same. I just want to be happy, I'm on my MJ journey too. Thank you Dear Lady ❤ and happy new year 🎉

[@MMilne-rx1nj]

Happy New Year Caroline Thank you for your wise words on losing someone close to you. I lost my Dad 5 years ago and know I will never feel quite the same 'me' again without him in my life. Ron was very lucky to have such a long life in a loving family. I look forward to sharing your good company in 2025.

[@vanessamootoo2193]

Happy New Year Caroline and Ashley . Sorry to hear about Ron as a cat lover I know how you must feel after I have lost some myself. Your content is just right so don't change.❤

[@gillyr1775]

Happy new year Caroline. Thank you for all of your vlogs, I always enjoy them and appreciate the time and effort you put into them. Sad to hear you've lost Ron but what a long and happy life he had! I like a mix of all sorts of things and as an avid reader myself would enjoy a monthly roundup of what books you've read, always on the look out for recommendations. Wishing you all the best for 2025. x

[@courtneyr19]

Happy New Year, Caroline. Very sorry to hear about Ron - but what a long and happy life he had with you. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming content ❤

[@mitzi8100]

I am so sorry about Ron. But he lived a long life and was so loved. And am so glad to hear you sweet Mother is doing well. Wishing you and your family much happiness in 2025.

[@GeraldineJasper-h4k]

Caroline, you look fabulous. Health and happiness making you glow! Thank you for your lovely channel.

[@nannynain]

So sorry to hear about Ronnie, our pets are a part of the family and it’s a huge loss when they go. Happy new year and thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos xx

[@janemorgan-cm9tj]

I agree. Great content in 2024. Thank you.

[@madelinedavies9110]

So sorry to hear about Ron, looking fab., bless you both in 2025. Take czre. xx

[@gilscot100]

Happy New Year Caroline. Wishing you a peaceful coming year. Looking forward to what vlogs you have planned for us, they are always so enjoyable. Will miss dear Ron popping up in the background every now and again. He had a wonderful life with his hooman family.🐈 ❤

[@helenwiddowson4784]

So sorry to hear about Ron, he lived to a great age for a cat and obviously lived a happy and content life. I love watching your vlogs with a bit of everything in there, would love ro hear more about books and tv you are enjoying, gives me some recommendations. I'm hoping this year to work on my weight/health/fitness but taking that slowly and making some small changes first. Also want to take more time for me by reading more, getting the jigsaws back out and spending time with family on holidays. Happy new year.

[@LindaCoyne]

Caroline, Best wishes to you and your family for 2025. Belated happy birthday to Ashley. RIP Ron. Looking forward to your content this year. I love the chats. 😊 I love your make up content and travels too. ❤

[@mairefarley3588]

Caroline so sorry to hear about Ron. Have 2 cats and like yours are part of the family. You will miss him terribly as they are great company. Happy new year to you and yours I hope it is a great one. Love all you do and looking forward to content in 2025.

[@gigilou]

So sorry for your loss of Ron, I've watched you for many years now and always loved his appearances every so often. Least he's back with his brother now ✨ That quote really resonated with me too, something I'm sure I'll revisit during the year ❤ Wishing you, Ashley & the family a very Happy New Year xxxxx

[@larainedaultrey6137]

So pleased you will be talking about the books you are reading in your blogs and favourites. I enjoy your suggestions and have a similar taste. I read the Island and Kristin Hannah after your mentioned them in your 2023 review. I don’t have a strong view on whether there is a separate video or whether they are in tue favourites/vlogs

[@karenharris3123]

Happy New Year Caroline!🎉 I am so sorry to hear about Ron; he was a very good age but it always leaves such a gap in your life when they go.😢. Like you I celebrate every birthday as I appreciate that getting older is a privilege denied to many. I started on improving my health and wellbeing last summer at 63!! I suddenly realised it was true - use it or lose it!! I am still very overweight and having advanced osteoarthritis in my knees meant my mobility was limited. I decided to start with swimming 3times a week and lost a stone in 2 months before a 32day cruise!! Luckily I was able to be more mobile while we were away and didn’t gain any weight 🫣. When I got back I started to workout at the gym and have lost another 1.5 stone. I also reduced my portion sizes although now I don’t deny myself anything. I cannot believe it’s taken me so long to finally accept that lifestyle changes really are what I need!🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂. So 2025 will I hope be dedicated to continuing to improve my health so I don’t end up sitting in a chair for the last 10 years of my life!! Absolutely love your videos and look forward to seeing you in 2025 however many times you post. I don’t miss many of yours as the content is always so varied ❤️. xx

[@CarolineMrsM]

Well done, Karen, amazing achievement on the weight loss!

[@nickyshaw9516]

Happy New Year to you and Ashley, very sad to hear about Ron, and what a great age to reach, which simply shows you cared and loved him, have a fantastic 2025, I am slowly trying to change some of the stuff that i do ( I’m a paper crafter), the start is to let go of things I dont or won’t use. I work full time and so want to stop. Stressing - as much- about the job, I look forward to your videos and whilst I’m not really into make-up i have taken your advice on some and my daughters are so surprised that i even know about a particular brand / item it makes me giggle. See you online soon Nicky

[@cassapiacassapia7558]

Happy New Year Caroline to you and yours. So sorry about Ron, he had a wonderful long life. ❤ You can see he was loved by you.

[@juliewhyborn5622]

I'm so glad you mentioned Roman. Somethings happened because I could always find several really nice pieces each season and now there is not a single thing I like. It happened suddenly and although I still check every couple of months, there is nothing suitable, nothing tempting, nothing worth seeing if it is in the sales. It is very disappointing. I wouldn't have thought there could ever be a clothes shop that I wouldn't like something in but here it is.

[@CarolineMrsM]

So glad it’s not just me!

[@blondie8849]

I do enjoy your videos each week Caroline. You were so lucky to have Ron in your life for 21 years. Dear little man. I often tell the story you shared about Ron’s tail and the Roomba vacuum😂. Looking forward to your content in 2025 ❤

[@feleciateague9363]

Happy 💜 New Year, Caroline 🤗 Enjoyed 2024 videos, looking forward to 2025! 😊🥰 Sorry to hear about Ron!

[@carolinemcdonald6289]

Hi Caroline, love your day in the life vlogs ! Love your “just be happy” comment in the new year, Caroline Ireland, happy birthday to Ashley 🎉

[@debbiemorris6741]

Wow can't believe your cat was 21 mine is 18 ..gives me hope for a few more years ..sorry for the loss of your boy xx

[@susancraig3966]

Looking forward to your content in 2025. I would say I watch nearly every video....know I haven't seen the New York fly/cruise, but now Xmas is over, I will.

[@elizabethbrown6287]

Loved this Caroline, going gently into the New Year sounds great to me! 😊 Aww, Ron... 😢 We said goodbye to our lovely old puss cat Maisie last summer who was also 21. She had been with us as a constant presence through so many of our life's adventures and it really felt like the end of an era. I am sure you feel the same about Ron, but somehow they let you know they are tired and ready to go. ❤ Anyway happy new year to you and your family and thank you for your fab content! Xx

[@ke9988]

Ron had a wonderful life with your family.

[@CarolineMrsM]

thank you

[@merlinstwin7373]

Wishing you, Ashley, Will, your Mum and family the very best for 2025, and Happy Belated Birthday to Ashley. 60 is just getting started! 🎉 Ron had a great 21 years with people who loved him. That’s heaven on earth. Love your channel and content. Whatever makes you happy is what you should do, but I’m excited for your plans. Dipping into my Christmas baking made me happy. Now I’m back on Weight Watchers for 2025! 😂 Xx Patty

[@maxallen-macdonald8791]

Glad to hear that your Mum is well and I am very sorry to hear about Ron. He is running free with his brother again. You look wonderful in cream and that sweater looks wonderful on you. I am going quietly and very carefully into 2025, much like going into a giant room full of crystal beverage glasses mounted on glass shelves and I'm not going to touch anything, just in case. Happy New Year!

[@MsDragunlady]

So sorry to hear about your loss of Ron, my condolences to both you and Ashley. xo

[@jaydee2337]

Happy New Year Caroline you are looking amazing, looking forward to your content in 2025 the work you put in to entertaining us is much appreciated thank you ❤

[@yumyummoany]

I love mystery boxes! I have made 2025 the year of the house. Making a lot of small changes like pretty mugs, new blinds, that kind of thing. A very happy New Year. I love switching on the tele in the morning as I drink my tea and seeing a new Mrs M video, thank you. ❤

[@deenab6476]

Happy new year Caroline. Looking forward to another year of your Chanel. . Oh wise one😊 I’ve purchased quite a few of your recommendations and I’ve been delighted with them. . To many to mention 😊love the Shein hauls….you always seem to choose lovely items and it’s great you tell us what size you got….always helps. Well , here’s to another year ….many many thanks😊

[@elizabethpitt8404]

I enjoy your videos and I am always happy to see a new one pop up in my feed. I am sorry to hear about Ron. I liked his random guest appearances in your videos and I will miss his little sneezes. 21 is a good age for a kitty. RIP Ron. Happy New Year to you and yours and know that you brighten up thousands of people’s days with your videos.

[@fionafrazer8820]

I do love mystery boxes - in fact, for the first time in 5 years, I have ordered a Lucky Bag from Beautylish. I get the $75 one which gives you at least $150 worth of products, and in the past I have had some wonderful things, including some of my very favorite high end brushes. Looking forward to It - it comes mid month in January. I think your channel is the most interesting one, with a lovely mixture of everything I enjoy! Belated Happy Birthday to Ashley!

[@lorrainechristison2818]

Happy new year Caroline sorry to hear of your recent loss of Ron

[@lynnie9444]

Happy New Year Caroline. So sad about Ron. He'd had a good innings as they say. Animals are the heart and soul of the family.

[@SusanPollit]

I'm sorry to hear about Ron your cat. Happy New Year to you and Ashley. Looking forward to your 2025 videos. ❤

[@angelaelms2938]

Love your content especially when you have little organising moments, I’d like more wardrobe clearing and maybe delving into your jewellery box ❤️

[@lorraineshearing30]

Caroline I’ve thought of you many times over Christmas as echoing your own family experiences, ( and too many others) my Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia two weeks before Christmas and we are currently trying to find the right care home for him! It’s so hard isn’t it?! 2025 hasn’t started in the best way and is likely to be tough but as a family we are sticking together and doing what needs to be done! Wishing you and Ashley all the best for this year……keep on keeping on and I look forward to watching you through the year! 😊 Wow I just had to edit…….those words from Donna Ashwort feel like they were written for me! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and another edit lol……agree re Roman plus range! Very disappointing…..I get their adverts on my Facebook page and often think, ‘oh I really like that’ only to click on it and find it’s only available in the normal range grrrrrrrr

[@normabrooks2351]

Losing a pet is always very sad , Ron undoubtedly was much loved and will be missed. Enjoyed this vlog as always kept my interest to the end and looking forward to more in 2025. Happy New Year to you, Caroline and your family ❤❤

[@angelan57]

Happy new year Caroline, so sorry to hear about Ron. xx

[@taniafalzon475]

Hi Caroline wishing you and your loved ones a happy peaceful year. I love all your uploads but the ones I really enjoyed were the monthly ones where you were trying to use all your products and buying less. It really inspired me to follow your steps and I even made a chart to keep me on track. Thanks for your work ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Barneysma]

Happy New Year Caroline. So sorry about Ron, my oldest cat got to 19, and I appreciate the care you must have taken to get Ron to 21 x

[@barbarasteel8805]

Lovely round up of 2024 Caroline and Happy New Year to you & Ashley. So sorry to hear about Ron. I know the heartbreak having been through it in august losing our dog Benji at 16.5. It’s so hard to let them go but at least we have the choice to not let them suffer. RIP Ron. On a different note, you mentioned once you had bought a travel mirror and wondered if you still had that link please? Having done 2 cruises back to back with inadequate make up lighting in the cabin, I am looking for a decent travel mirror. Looking forward to more fab content in 2025 and thank you for all you do for us, your followers x

[@tinastalktime]

Happy new year Caroline. So sorry about Ron it’s so hard to lose a beloved pet. He lived a long and happy life with you. I agree about the overseas brands of clothing I am no longer doing them either.

[@susanvale4544]

Happy New Year Caroline I agree with you that you have to place them in a special spot in your heart & keep them there. I absolutely love your content🇦🇺❤️

[@Joyinsimplicity]

Happy new year, I'm sorry to hear your sad news . I'm glad you are finding comfort in the knowledge that you gave him a loving home and he enjoyed his long life. A suggestion for book content, keep it natural and talk about a book when you finish it in a vlog 🙂

[@cindywharton5558]

Happy new year to you and your family Caroline. I love watching your channel as it's a good mix of all sorts of things. Sorry to hear about Ron ❤

[@justlily98]

So sorry about Ron Caroline. Such a loss! You look lovely in your top, and refreshed after the seasonal break.

[@dawnrobinson3658]

So sorry to hear of Rons passing. The fact that he lived to such a great age is testament to how much he was looked after and loved. I will miss seeing him popping up but sure he is with his brother enjoying his new after life over the rainbow bridge. Lovely to hear your Mum is doing so well and has so much to look forward to and belated Happy Birthday to Ashley. Hope for more good than bad in 2025. x💘

[@christinecoates2499]

Happy new year Caroline. I will willing watch whatever content you put out as I really enjoy all your videos and agree that you seem to have found a good balance. I too have decided to do only the things that make me happy and as a consequence I've started watching quite a lot less youtube in favour of reading books and have become quite picky with the few channels I still follow. So very sorry to hear about Ron xx

[@helen6477]

Happy New year! So sorry you lost Ron, so sad after having a fur baby for so long! ❤❤❤xx

[@juliepearson1685]

Happy New year to you all Caroline it's so nice to get the decs away and dome daffodils now in a vase.

[@Kat-l2t]

21 years old, good old Ron RIP. Wonder what that is in cat years. I have to say Caroline, you are looking very nice. Much better since you holiday when you were ill. You look at peace with yourself, I envy you because it's wonderful to have inner peace.😊

[@EileenLymer-i7w]

Keep doing what you do, I love the variation of your content and would enjoy hearing about the books you read and what you watch on tv. Happy New Year.🎉

[@ajsleight]

Happy new year! I am a relative newcomer to your channel and really enjoy all of your content. Personally I would love to see more book/reading content, but you know your channel and audience best. I was so sorry to hear about Ron. We lost our cat Elliot this time last year, and his brother Bernard is now a very needy, vocal and deaf 18yr old. I also lost my Dad a year ago and what you said about melancholy and grief really resonated. It leaves a void that can never be filled - you just learn to live around it. Xx

[@LyndaTerry-s5u]

So sorry to hear about Ron. We had to take our cat Froggy to the vet about 10 days before Christmas and have him put to sleep. It was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever done. I stayed with him but my husband had to leave the room. He was such a character and is very much missed. Xxx

[@whatjulieloves9921]

Happy New Year Caroline. So sorry to hear about Ron. Looking forward as always to your 2025 content ❤

[@cherylparish2232]

Morning Caroline, I’m so sorry to hear about Ron but goodness me didn’t he get to a ripe old age! Obviously a well loved and well cared for cat. I have loved your content last year, thank you. Your son is the same age as mine and pretty much at the same stage, for me it feels like it went by in a flash but it’s lovely to see them happy and productive. Hope 2025 brings you and your family health and happiness. XX

Best wishes for the new year. I enjoy all your videos whatever the content, always fun, informative and humorous x

So sorry to hear about Ron, he always looked like such a character when we got a glimpse of him. I would like to know what books you had read - I’m a library fan like you. And would also love to see mystery box openings. Happy New Year to you and your family and viewers. 🎉🎉🎉

[@muriel240]

Happy new year Caroline and so sorry to hear about Ron. Happy belated birthday to Ashley. My hubby was 70 on xmas day. He's not one for a lot of fuss but we do have a few things to look forward to this year. Also just found out we are going to be great grandparents again this year. This will be our third. We also have eight grandchildren. I am of the same opinion. Learning to say no to doing things I don't want to do. Love your varied content and always interested to see what comes next. Thank you for the update xx

[@annemackle3625]

Happy new year to you and family,hope it's a good one. Donna Ashworth is brilliant , I read a poem at random from one of her books everyday. I have a book blog and Instagram page where I do book reviews but I've never watched a book related youtube video. I enjoy when you talk about books and films etc as part of a bigger vlog. I really like the colour of blue in your cardigan, along with the white it's looks so fresh and clean. I do read every video you make as I enjoy the content and feel as though it's a friend talking to me. RIP.Ron x

[@mellissamaynard7340]

Happy new year ! So sad about Ron what a lovely cat he was! Your son is so lucky to get on the housing ladder so young! My nephew is 29 and there will be no chance of him getting on the property ladder in London!

[@caththyssen2730]

So lovely to see your face looking bright and well again. Sorry to hear about your loss of beloved Ron. I certainly felt like his time with you was drawing near. You will miss him. I think you’re right with the 3 videos per week. As much as I have a spark of joy to see my notification when you post, there aren’t many that provide quality content so regularly. Do what works for you. No need to lock yourself into a schedule. Here’s to being happy and content in 2025 and feeling empowered to say no when you want to. 😊
