HOME RENOVATION UPDATES & EXPLORING LEEDS! MR CARRINGTON

[@abidemontfort.1633]

Hi. I love the way you always get a little library mention in! I’m a library assistant and we need everyone to use the libraries please! So many services other than book borrowing available including free computer use. It’s a wonderful provision available to all. 👏👏👏👏👏❤

[@MrCarrington]

🙌🙌❤️

[@Carol-cc8tx]

I worked in the library for many years and always have a nose in the library when i'm visiting different places. They are so good for the community.

[@aoife0504]

As ex cabin crew, we used to get some ice (either from a machine if available, or just an ice bucket sent to the room) and put it in the sink, you can then put all your fridge bits in to keep cold overnight 😊

[@debadamsuksouthwales6766]

That's a good idea thank you 🤗

[@Angie-cm4si]

You really do help with decluttering motivation....yes please for another visit with Helen...roof garden is looking good❤💜

[@carolynstewart9103]

Aw Mr C what a fun packed video..chakras kittens charity shops you covered them all.👍your renovations are coming on...loved the tour round Leeds City and your shirts were amazing..thanks again for taking us on tour...look forward to next one.🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@penelopebridges7305]

How interesting , I’m nearly 73 and have been writing lists and ticking them off all my adult life, so much so my daughter does it as well 🤣. Thank you as ever for your chatty vlog, love them. 😊😊😊

[@ClarkeLife]

A day in Orlando - my favourite activities from our trips there were 1. A day in Universal Studios 2. A day at Kennedy Space Centre 3. Take a trip to the Everglades with an airboat ride 4. Shopping at the outlets

[@SandieMitchell]

Love these videos! You're the sharpest dresser, always well-put-together, casual but smart. When I was working in an office, we called it Friday casual. I have a couple tips for you; use 91% isopropyl alcohol to remove the sticky stuff from stickers, and when your hotel room doesn't have a refrigerator, take the trash can/waste bin with a fresh liner in it, fill it with ice and use it to keep food and drinks cold. Most hotels will have either a stand-alone ice machine or a drink machine with an ice tab will work as well. I have even asked the front desk where to find the ice. I hope this helps a bit.☺

[@BLK2000]

💡Just a little travelers tip Iwan: to keep stuff cold in ur hotel room;pop the plug in, and fill up your sink bowl with cold water, and place ur yogz, or ppl usually put their pint of milk in there, and it keeps cold over night :) xx

[@angiefleming6572]

That was my tip too 😊

[@Cindy7777777]

Mr. C, what a fun vlog/video!!!!! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the haul, especially those cute cards!!!! The renovations are coming along beautifully!!! Always love to see the fur babies!!! Thanks so much for taking us along!!!

[@sueshynn586]

I love spending Sunday afternoon with your chatty vlogs. I always write lists and then either tick off or highlight green jobs completed. ✅ x

[@gailgulliver8970]

Thank you Mr.C. that was a lovely vlog some great bargains and treats I'm so glad your embracing your spiritual side its good to have the balance in this very material world have a great week .xxx

[@user-lp1uy4tw6p]

How smart you looked in your charity shop shirt, very dapper. Fab blog and great day out in Leeds without leaving my sofa thank you xx

[@Yellowalohashop]

New watcher here, who looks after the cats when you are away? I love Lidl, you never know what you will find!

[@christinehodge3608]

Lovely art Gallery and some nice paintings, its ages since lve been to a Gallery, Thank you for sharing 😊

[@alisonwonderland4438]

I enjoyed your decluttering session with Helen. You have such a kind, calm manner. That really helped her. I also loved that she kept things because she appreciated the people and memories associated with the items ❤

[@idid138]

Agreed. And you know some of us need those little bits, to recall those times. Especially those of us, with overflowing minds.

[@alisontaylor6135]

For your day in Orlando, I would suggest a visit to Epcot at Disney. You can wander ' around the world' from country to country. xx

[@idid138]

Went to Disney World around 13 & Epcot, loved Epcot the best. Didn't do Sea World or Orlando Gardens. Gotta go back... Never have $ for travel...

[@avacadman2155]

That Clematis roots were wild! That is going to grow like mad! You have given Luke some lovely garden plants, such a good friend that you are…👍👍👍👍

[@idid138]

Sometimes when you love someone, you gotta let them go.

[@vivmatto725]

Love sunday mornings with Mr. C A Fabulous start to your day ❤

[@MrCarrington]

😀🙌🙌

[@lorraineselby]

Thank you for sharing your bargains and lovely views whilst I drink my coffee in bed on a chilled out Sunday morning 🙏🏼

[@Yvonneb_]

I had heard that before infact one of my sons was off work recently with his mental health, hes got ADHD too so got very board very quickly so i was making him lists and he was loving it, especially as he was ticking things off. Great video as always. I did see that video with Helen I loved it xx

[@juliebrown3720]

Enjoyed the video today so glad that the kitchen is finally taking shape. The panelling looks fabulous. Can’t wait to see it finished. Loved the Zara Navy shirt and trousers you brought . The Cat Cards were lovely.😻

[@sandraholland5663]

Hi Mr Carrington. Just catching up on videos and I thoroughly enjoyed it as always. You always cheer me up so thank you. Your house is looking great loving the new shelves. My favourite things in Orlando are Magic kingdom (I’m a kid at heart 😂) Epcot and shopping in the malls just actually love it all you will have a great time. I love a list I find if I write a list it actually motivates to do the things I need and love ticking it off and if I do more I add them to the list and tick them off how sad am I 😂😂. I wish you had your own programme on tv it would be so good to see you giving house cleaning, decluttering and organising advice I could watch that every night. Have a lovely day and a great week ❤️

[@lindadunn6813]

Great vid. You pack so much in to your life and you're always so positive 😍🤩

[@karengodfrey6183]

No prom when I left school either. We just left then after the weekend of leaving started work 😂😂😂 Still working at this point of my life too.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

When l left high school in 1983 we had school disco that was it

[@redgamer2915]

Fab blog, Mr C🥰. Ooo I love a list. I even add things, that I have already done just so I can tick them off👍🤣 x

[@karonfrench1012]

As I’ve said before Mr Lovely Teeth I am from Harrogate but now live in Suffolk. We used to go to Leeds most weeks for shopping and for the night clubs. It was great seeing all the lovely shops again. Brought back some great memories for me. Thank-you 👍🥰

[@HeavenCurtis-cn4oy]

I love your videos because you seem like such a positive, calm , happy person. That vibe definitely comes across 🤗

[@lynseypeters]

I would love you to write a book with all your cleaning tips and homemade cleaning solutions. Decluttering tips could also be included. I know you share these on your videos and on Sort Your Life Out but would love them all coralled in one place to easily access. ❤

[@evam4536]

Yes, please. x

[@jillbaker988]

Mrs. Hinch started me doing lists and ticking them off in her Activity Journal book (think it was called that) very satisfying. Leeds looks really lovely - great mix of old and new. Enjoyed the vlog as always ❤

[@TylerSteadS101]

Always exciting to see you coming to Leeds and exploring! The groups dressing up in Headingley are doing the Otley Run - it's a pub crawl of about 20 pubs that starts in Headingley and finishes in the city centre. It's mostly a student thing but people come from all over the country to take part

[@jennypwonderfulprizeplenty7393]

My son is a local resident. Otley runners set off at about 2pm and it’s general mayhem! Lol

[@Pollie410]

Thank you for a lovely Sunday morning watching you Iwan - your positivity and natural curiosity always inspires me ..keep being you 🥰x

[@bernadetteembleton8944]

Your cats are so calming❤

[@SHIRLEYMAYHEW]

Hi Iwan, I,m having a new kitchen fitted soon & have been influenced by the way you have yours. Lovely light & bright, could you please tell me how you have fixed the shelves that have the Hello Fresh box on, there doesn,t seem to be any brackets or such like on show. Thznkyou ❤😊❤

[@MrCarrington]

Invisible screws for floating shelves!

[@daleduerden1185]

Love these longer videos , did panic for a minute as thought I wasn’t going to get our shopping music ,but no here it comes,love the cat cards . Yes I do like a list ,so satisfying when you tick off.The kitchen looking great, kittens were saying oh yes and where have you been this time ❤Have a good week

[@merlin711oregon]

Really enjoyed the whole vlog and catching up with you! Always a pleasure to spend time with you Mr Carrington! 😄

[@darrencritchley5425]

I’m sure the stain with a white colour to it is the lime coming through from the damp plaster. Use a Zinsser stain blocker before applying your finished coat. Loved the video, I am a tick the list person I love crossing a list of it’s satisfying. I use the reminder app on my iPhone everyday.

[@MrCarrington]

Thank you!

[@judithholmes4952]

Do so enjoy my Sunday morning. Enjoyed it all but my favourite was the 2 cat cards and the painting with the 2 cats. Never been to Leeds, it looked great particularly the arcades Xx

[@WildflowerNJ1]

Your kitchen is going to be beautiful....love all the things you bought, thank you for taking us along. Love seeing everything...love those cat cards! x

[@Carol-cc8tx]

Another fabulous vlog. Was great to have a look round Leeds, I was impressed. The cat cards you picked were just purrfect. Kitchen is looking fab too.

[@jillbrown9145]

Hi Mr C yes our plastering was the same...we used a humidifier for a week and then left it to settle...3 months later all dry....yours looks brilliant now 🌟❤️

[@janetwalker3541]

Don't you mean a dehumidifier to take the dampness out of the walls? A humidifier would add dampness.

[@idid138]

Dehumidifiers work amazing. I'm so happy my neighbor put a basically new one on the curb, scooped it up, right as my old one seems to have stopped working correctly.

[@idid138]

Maybe they used a humidifier as part of the plaster process? I have no idea how plastering cures.

[@altrace-l9x]

I'm in bed with flu and so glad to see your video

[@davetravelman]

Hiya, you always cheer me up..the word you were thinking of is pintuck on the front of your new trousers...your kitchen is looking great too...thanks for sharing as always xx

[@HazelAniceto]

59:04 At Orlando, visit the International Drive Outlet Stores

[@dianeprice5798]

Evening Mr Carrington, great vlog, I have noticed that different charity shops have better clothes than other ones depending on the area, the more expensive area has more design clothes. There is great stuff in Poundland at mo, hope you are having an amazing time . 👍

[@ceahorse56]

To get labels off easy mix oil with baking soda into a paste and apply. I usually do it over night. Shall just make that sticky glue come right off. If not repeat. Did the hotel not have an ice machine and bucket? Great way to keep things cool plus add to soda.

[@sootyginger4388]

Lovely vlog 😊 you definitely found some fab finds. Love the cat cards think you should frame them. I personally like the white in the kitchen makes it look fresh.

[@farrah7748]

Hey Mr C, catching up on your vlogs as we are just back from a week on MSC Virtuosa! I love writing lists so much that if I have completed something I forgot to put on the list I add it just so I can cross it off 🤣 also thanks for showing us the art gallery, I loved the paintings you picked to show us ❤

[@martinamaud9762]

Oh what a great blog I am watching in bed as usual I love our Sunday mornings Mr. C Loved that m+s ribbed top lovely stuff in there now Great long vlog today Kittens adorable as per 💚💚

[@dollyseenauth435]

Thank you mrcarrington. Love to watch your Sunday Vlog. It’s my happy hour. Great bargain. Nice shirts. Beautiful colours. The renovations looks great. Have a super week.

[@pomme800]

Get some ice from your hotel in a ice bucket /bathroom sink for your hotel picnic Mr C :)))

[@madewithlovebymari]

FYI…Florida traffic is super congested. Add on time to your commute around that city. So much todo there. Tons of shopping. Have a great time.

[@galebecker3487]

Hi Iwan, thank you for your video. Lovely to have a long vlog❤. Im sure your plant will grow well and strong at Luke and Zara. It was so good to see you enjoying the barbecue, with all of Luke's delish food. Pumpkin and Mittens are looking so cute. Love the portrait cards. The gyoza looked so delish, one of my fav meals. Always enjoy your purchases, your outfit looked realky good, blue shirt and the light trousers. I think the M and S shirts are all keepers. Oh yes the kitchen is looking beautifjul, love it. Thank you for all the updates. Take care Gale x

[@janehenney1946]

I used to get cold sores regularly until i started dabbing a bit of the sap from an aloe vera plant on a new appearing sore. Clears them faster and after a few times using this method i haven't had any more for about 3 years.

[@idid138]

Nice! I've used colloidal silver & that works for me.

[@pb6838]

One day in Orlando has to be a day in Disney world Magic Kindgdom, especially the fireworks in the evening would be my go to.

[@MrCarrington]

Sounds amazing!

[@LoraineRoberts-n8g]

Ewan I don’t think there are enough hours in the day for you, I am exhausted watching your video 😂 you cram so much in a day I just love your energy and enthusiasm ❤ your kitchen is looking lovely as is your roof garden ❤

[@sunshining_inthe_hebrides4030]

I’m a list maker and crosser outer .. very satisfying 😉

[@debsrobinson2149]

so pleased you like Leeds - I live about 8 miles away from the centre. I'm following your walk and saying just turn down there - there is Trinity and the temple (Apple Store), other side of the train station is Costco... always worth a look even if on foot. The arcades are good, quite a few new shops since i last went in to town.

[@jenjenkins2936]

Really loved your tour of the city! It looked so interesting and a real mix of old and new. 😊

[@סימוןשלומי]

I am always amazed how you find the best shirts! I think you manifest them😅!

[@carolynewilliams1194]

When I had a leak from my chimney and it came down the chimney breast into the spare bedroom, after it was all fixed and replastered the plaster took months to dry out completely. The plasterer said it was because the wall that got wet took a while to dry out too. So that’s why the plaster took longer than normal. No more leaks since. Had to take the chimney down. ❤

[@nataliethorpe394]

Lovely long vlog today,so much to see. Great trip to Leeds and fab shopping haul, loved the tin star candle holder, perfect for winter decor , and the cute cats cards. Kitchen is looking really good. Thanks, perfect Sunday morning viewing. 😊

[@danicacharles4221]

I absolutely loved the shopping trip to Leeds. Thank you for sharing. ❤😊

[@juliespencer1164]

Love how the kitchen is coming along it looks fab Leeds as a big shopping centre some great items. xxx

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Fun vlog. Please do more decluttering and organising with Helen. I've been "Spring/Deep Cleaning" the last week.. washing all blankets, cushion, sofa, bean bag covers, curtains, bathroom rugs etc because they dry quick in the summer heat/sun. I never Spring Clean in Spring because all the trees cover everything in yellow pollen until end of May. Love the dragons in the iron framework in the Kirtgate Market.

[@roxannerobinson9173]

I got 1 bamboo plant in a pot a cpl yrs ago from B&M, was gonna buy 2 but pleased i only got the 1 as it has actually spread when I've put it I'm the garden. Quite a few extra branches have popped up. If I went to Orlando I'd deffo be going to Disney world and/or universal studios - 100% for harry potter!

[@kayrobinson64]

Mr C yet another lovely video, you do make me smile. Have a great week.😊

[@tracypatil8841]

Great Vlog. You have definitely motivated me to declutter and just organise in general. I love a list and ticking things off is definitely therapeutic 😊 The Cats are so sweet. Loved your new clothes, great taste if I may say so 😁 Kitchen is looking great, love the upgrades!! Thanks for sharing your home and travels, Sunday is a great day to enjoy and catch up with you x

[@christinehodge3608]

Good and interesting video, those beach shoes will come in handy as the weaver fish with poisonous spines😊 they hide in the sand,

[@Annette825]

I really loved all the shopping and the home updates.

[@cherylmartin9994]

Happy Sunday Mr C and kitties😊Long Sunday vlog. Watched it in 2 bits but couldn't be happier you did a long one😃Thoroughly enjoyed it!! Honestly I love all the fashion bits you buy. I think you have such great taste🤩 love the kitty cards too😍 great cat dad!! Have a lovely week ahead!

[@annisiktas815]

Always look forward to your videos which I watch on a Sunday evening here in sunny Bulgaria. May you be blessed with a lovely week ahead .

[@negan1445]

The people in costumes were doing the Otley Run (pub crawl), my nephews did it a few years ago and it's fun to see them all dressed up.

[@ruthlee7949]

Love my sundays with mr Carrington xx

[@lully381]

All looking good and coming together nicely. Lists? I love a list, I love crossing things off it and I agree it is very satisfying, I hand write mine and my hubby loves them, he can see what needs doing, do it and cross it off! Love the Vincent Price horror look when you were lit from below you with that light! made me larf! Thanks for the Vlog I needed this x

[@jillmoorhouse8888]

Great charity shop finds, i loved the outfit. I don't live very far from Leeds but have never been in the city centre or gone shopping and it looks like i'm missing out :D

[@pattyd3205]

Whatever you do DO NOT put that Bamboo in the Ground. Don’t give it to Luke to plant "out" in his garden either. They completely TAKE OVER in a vey short space of time. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Lidl’s OWN version of Mars Bars are good and MUCH cheaper.

[@janicetimmins5984]

We had bamboo in our garden, it went everywhere and it took a lot of strong weed killer to kill it. Never again 😖

[@MrCarrington]

I don’t have any ground to put it in 😅❤️

[@paulakoflynn3368]

Thank you for sharing your lovely trip to Leeds, Mr.C, it looked a nice place to visit. Great finds in the shops. I think you need SPF for your lips to help prevent coldsores. I always have my "lippy" with me with SPF in, summer or winter. I also love ticking of jobs done on my To Do list, very satisfying. I look forward to seeing your trip to Orlando ... Enjoy yourself.

[@soulmindshypnotherapyholis4786]

I live just outside leeds and it’s a fab city. Kitchen is looking a lot better.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Am hour away from Leeds on train in Hull

[@67DrWatson]

Hey Mr C nice to see you again. The tv in that hotel room was huge! Still it's probably great if you're not going out and want to watch your programmes while you're on holiday. You always have such nice taste in the shirts you pick out when you're shopping and you clearly know what suits you. Leeds is a beautiful city and I luv that the shopping arcade has that olde worlde feel to it with the architecture making it a great place to walk and browse on a sunny day. Looking forward to watching the renovation vids when they drop as I'm trying to reconfigure my home this summer so I'm sure I'll get loads of tips from you. Have a great week and I'll see you on the next one.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Mr.C the kitchen is looking nice. Thank you for taking us with you to Leeds. You got some nice things from the shops. ❤

[@denisew.123]

An hour long vlog is just perfect for a chilled-out Sunday! I always get the Dallmayr coffee, it’s my favorite, too! Greetings from Frankfurt and happy Sunday! x

[@tarasnedden806]

I was in Headingley last weekend visiting my daughter, always entertaining to see the Ottley Runners out and about, some lovely charity shops there too

[@nicollef8080]

Great haul as ever! And I love a long vlog. I knew you'd buy something from the cat lady! Kitchen is looking gorgeous! Xx

[@cazzaa5012]

Nice choice of the dark blue shirt and chinos, “suits you sir” 😍

[@bonniewright7169]

Great video - so varied , loved the tour and haul of fab purchases - very interested in the little shop that had all those haberdashery bits displayed outside - being a sewist/ crafted , would have been in my element! By following you and Stacey I’ve seen what a busy back and forth week to Leeds you’ve had - must be exhausting- looking forward to news of USA trip .! Thanks for today- missed midweek vid so nice long one made up for it 😂

[@cliffhorman6846]

I di love these nice longs Vlogs to watch Mr. C. Lots going on and always interesting. I to am rather the spiritual and often felt you very peaceful & positive.

[@christinesmutek3856]

I thought I was the only one that likes to make lists of tasks and tick them off. Now I know I’m not too weird hahaha. Thanks for the vlog. You get some amazing things. 👍👍 and your ideas for decor are so good. Thank you. X

[@flohough1870]

LOVE the pet portraits, those are awesome! Looking forward to a full kitchen tour.

[@christinabrooks5991]

Very interesting vlog. Loved everything, from the kitchen update to touring Leeds. Who knew there was all of that fabulous architecture. Just about to enjoy a bit of charity shop browsing........thank you.

[@MrCarrington]

Ooh have fun 🎉

[@leaveittothediva]

We're bloody freezing in Ireland summer hasn't arrived yet, always warmer I London,, I miss that. 😂❤😂❤

[@annetteminett8500]

Same down South, thunder & lightning, heavy rain, hailstones…….freezing!

[@leaveittothediva]

​@annetteminett8500 Yep, just wondering if we're even getting a summer here at the moment.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

It's sunny here in East Yorkshire this athernoon watching vlog on Monday was busy yesterday

[@leaveittothediva]

@catherinebarlow3079 Yorkshire is beautiful at any time though. 💕💕

[@lartystuff]

[@MARTINA1937]

We had a table top sale in our garden with neighbours it did rain but came out nice, sold a few things x

[@MartaMM82]

Always makes me smile when you come to Leeds, where I live 🙂 I saw the Peter Mitchell exhibition and stopped for a coffee at that cafe at Leeds Art Gallery last weekend! x

[@LynneChapman-m1u]

I enjoyed this vlog its been a long time since iv been to Leeds. You inspired me to revamp my kitchen now looking at the bathroom 😮😊

[@suzangroves959]

So much info in this, I love the fashion and that candle !!

[@thecolorpurple4488]

Really enjoyed this. Can't believe how much you do in one day! I love the cat post card's. 🍃🤍🍃

[@dorisrougvie1793]

Interesting items ,food looks great ,love charity items ,house looks great 😊

[@mags8014]

Thank you, Mr C, that was quite a marathon! Loved the look around Leeds, it’s changed a bit since I lived there in the 70’s! Yes, lists are definitely good - I am a dedicated list writer and love ticking off those “done” jobs! Sorry, never been to Orlando, so can’t help you there. Oh yes, lovely cat cards and your thrifted outfit looked very smart.

[@lindaroberts2508]

Loved the update on the kitchen Mr C looking great.great blog,have a good week ahead.❤❤

[@kimberley1195]

Hi Mr Carrington really enjoyed this video the shopping,and what you bought look forward to seeing more updates on your home.😊especially the cats and what they get up to.
