Mundane ♥ May, Myself and I #20

REALLY IMPORTANT CARRIE!!!! If your limbs are getting swollen after flights it's because all you blood is going to your feet after being sat down for too long. THIS CAN LEAD TO BLOOD CLOTS WHICH ARE VERY VERY BAD NEWS. If it doesn't go down you should definately go to your GP. To prevent this in future long flights, make sure to walk up and down the isle more and/or there are socks you can buy to help circulation up your legs!

[@mariicath]

I don't fly, but I have blood circulation problems in my legs and they hurt a lot if I don't use my medical stockings. I've heard of other people who use them when flying.

[@loondogg88]

I'm a nurse and I endorse this message. Blood clots can happen at any age. Wear compression hose and move periodically down the aisles for increased blood flow. Thanks for sharing!

I have absolutely LOVED this month of videos, it’s a little chunk of happiness that I look forward to each day. Thank you so very much ♥️

[@JennFaeAge]

You should feel honoured Carrie, Leia and Aurora rarely want to make more than cameo appearances in Tom or Gi's videos, this is the longest I've seen either sit still on camera XD

[@tabethaerinfulton5970]

I am really loving the sit down chatty videos to start my mornings. Stay happy, safe and healthy Carrie xox

[@rtilling]

I'm gonna be so sad when this series is over. I've loved it. This channel is my favourite space on the internet.

[@roscoestanley4858]

A year later and I still couldn’t agree more!❤️

[@Manaroy_]

This topic kinda reminds me of a quote I stumbled upon recently, "Don't get so caught up chasing the extraordinary moments that you don't pay attention to the ordinary moments, the moments where, if taken away, you would miss more than anything." It's good to chase the extraordinary and to appreciate it as it comes, but don't forget to continue valuing the ordinary as well. Thanks for sharing, Carrie!

[@mcedwards]

Preach 🙌

[@sophier7752]

Carrie, I really needed to hear this right now. Thank you for the depth of your words. You are a gift!

[@Lighting_Desk]

Carrie AND A CAT. My life is complete.

[@roscoestanley4858]

I mean a year later she has one of her own life couldn’t get any better! Xxx

[@dgm01994]

“Mr Bean is an icon” I’m dead. That was great hahaha

[@wlwcats5810]

I adore Carrie so much, I love these videos so cozy😭💘

[@stagetopage]

What a refreshing video. It really is lovely to see how grounded you still are; even with the crazy world you live in some of the time ❤

[@DaniRothwell]

Thank you for being so real in these videos, Carrie! It's nice to have a reminder that despite our jobs, we're all human and go through the same mundane things 😊 have a lovely day!

[@micaela_c]

The birds chirping in the background and the sun shining through the window just made this so sweet and peaceful!

[@minnieatkins]

You should get compression socks! They are super helpful to prevent swelling

[@imaginationlord]

I think like you say it's a balancing act. I often crave something other than the mundane because most of my life is just work and essays and the same events on nights out (uni), but I know that when I have done more extraordinary things in the past (like a month in Peru) I was craving just sitting at home with my cat making my bed. We all need a little extraordinary, and a little mundane.

[@Lioness99a]

I've got home from a long week at work and crashed on the sofa watching videos but this one has just reminded me that I wanted to put the washing machine on when I got in so that it actually finishes the wash and the dry cycles before I go to bed, so thank you for that! I also enjoy the mundane days in life - people keep asking me what I am going to do with the bank holiday weekend and my reply was 'tidy the house because it's a tip'...

[@gembrown84]

I absolutely love this video! Sometimes being mundane is all you need in life. I work 9-6 every day and when I get home all I want to do is crash and go to bed. I crave the weekends when I can sometimes binge off my social life and just whip the hoover out, clean my house etc!

[@hayimeanademir2346]

I love that you value not ending up with a big ego, or getting ahead of yourself. I feel that people with even the most mundane, boring lives can be filled with hubris. But you aren’t, regardless of all the amazing things you accomplish and experience x

[@thalitaschinaider]

I'm so sad the month it's getting to an end

[@MisKChief]

There must be lovely songbirds living around your brothers. I’ve heard them in the background of several recent videos.

[@SheLivesHerDream]

I wonder if that's part of the background music?

[@caitlincash5092]

Loved this, never apologize for CAT

[@meganoxtoby]

Yesssssss!!! Feel exactly the same haha. After working on a cruise ship for 6 months I was craving the mundane! Couldn't wait to be able to go on walks again, drive my car, go to the shops..! Also found myself jealous of people who work 9 - 5 as hours as an Entertainer are all day, all night. Exhausting! Some people don't realise how lucky they are to have evenings and weekends! Xxx

[@SheLivesHerDream]

My life definitely isn't mundane at the moment. I'm in a run of the Addams Family, playing Alice Beineke and daily-vlogging backstage. Ah it makes me so proud that 1,5 years ago I came to see you and cried over seeing you in the Addams Family (there's a vlog of that too) and now I'm here, doing it myself, going through stage door everyday and documenting it online. And I couldn't be happier! 💛

[@Ineeee]

Yes, one shouldn’t get too big for ones boots, otherwise we won’t be able to put them back on after a flight hehehe You are always grounded and lovely. Keep being you. Love you ❤️❤️❤️

[@freyatewnion241]

This is such a lovely reminder that everyone is normal and craves some normality in their lives, even someone who performs on stage. I have loved these videos so much! Also I relate to the desire to get out the hoover, I have been dying to do it for months but exams have got in the way!

[@alysevans8668]

I'm watching this whilst studying for my drama exam!

[@johnnaamber]

I love this video and I really needed it right now. I find it incredibly hard to think like this even though I know I need to a lot because I feel like every day is mundane and I desperately crave those more extraordinary things

[@kirstencottey5385]

Being at uni I would say is mundane but also completely un-mundane. I commit to do way too much, I'm looking forward to a more mundane uni life when I go study in Canada in September!

[@broadwaybaby243]

Kirsten Cottey we will welcome you with open arms! What university are you attending here in the Great White North?

[@racheltano3724]

Congrats!! Where are you studying?? 😊

[@kirstencottey5385]

I'm studying for a semester at the University of New Brunswick, then travelling all the way to Vancouver to spend Christmas & New Year with some of my family. I'm so excited!

[@breflections8127]

“Scrubbin poo off your driveway.” 😂😂😂

[@ljmastertroll]

Wishing you all the mundanity you need minus the things bubbling up in the drive.

[@sadiebelcreations]

"Mr Bean is an icon" xD Carrie, if you ever go to Vietnam, in Hoi An there is a Mr Bean bar. It's as bizarre and brilliant as it sounds.

[@lmyoung94]

Smudge! What smudge? I didn't see any smudges on your glasses. This is what I love about your video's, you keep them real and grounded💜 I love that you talked about the balance of the mundane.

[@gerryryan1372]

Carrie my fave thing about you is that you are so balanced. It seems to be a Fletcher thing xx

[@laurenrussell8011]

been watching you since 2011 I love you your an inspiration xx

[@Pexzee]

I just thought it'll soon be seventh anniversary of one of your greatest videos and remakes are the biggest thing now in the film industry anyways...

[@MollieWilliams15]

My life at the moment is so very mundane (I’m on a gap year) so I’m literally just working and then sleeping. I’m excited to go to uni in September to do musical theatre, but I know I’ll crave the mundane then🤣😘

[@belles8095]

My cats called leia! And the other one is yodi

[@charlietheis4048]

I‘ve loved this whole month of videos, they always make my day❤️ I can imagine it‘s a lot of work but I hope you do it again sometime❤️

[@bronya74]

Isn't Emma Blackery's cat called Princess Leia AS WELL? What a cool coincidence.

[@suzanneparkes8259]

Probably cos I’m 34 and now care about houses and the such I’d like to know how the building work on your house is going. Hope it’s all going well xx

[@andiekahl3143]

I feel your poo story in a way most can't. I had the drain of my apartment complex back up into MY APARTMENT. My sinks, bathtub, and toilet all over flowed with dirty sewer water. But hey. Shit happens.

[@arielf]

Cleaning poo off the driveway! HAHAHA 😂 I wish you vlogged it!

[@LydiaCarlton97]

The cat was a pleasant surprise

[@sofiew6236]

🎵 ”If life were only moments, then you’d never know you had one...” 🎵

[@florencejadeabba3816]

Carry seem like yourself again 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@LeahVorpalBunni]

Would you consider doing this type of thing for June as well? I really love and miss these sit down chatty videos from you :D

[@emilym5870]

people who care about getting the grammar correct are my favourite people

[@KJM_Writes]

CHESHIRE CAT MUG! I have that mug. It’s my favourite! (How’s that for mundane? 😂)

[@chellec3551]

Love this daily upload hun xx

[@captainjonesify]

Loved the video! Lovely thoughts! Great series!

[@IreneHarlech]

You're like a tree. Firmly attached to the ground, your roots are your family and friends who made you who you are and your branches are the different parts of you. Am I insane or did that make sense? Either way I ❤ you for being so down to earth.

[@gardensnails12]

My cat started purring as soon as i clicked on this video.

[@nathancreek6086]

Maybe it's only on the way home because you were on your feet walking around LA/Disney so the plane ride makes them swell? I cant think of any other reason unless the plane took a longer route home and those extra few minutes did it

[@magicmagicman]

Your ankles swell more on the way back from the US because they are overnight flights and you generally don't move around as much or leave your seat.

[@xAbbieCx13]

You deserve every wonderful, crazy thing that happens to you. 💙

[@maialeckey8132]

FIRST - love this Carrie as always

[@sirjoshyyy_2024]

How crazy can life get?... The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air walks by you.👍

[@xzonia1]

We all need our normal days.

[@MissHatterX]

🖤🖤🖤

[@EEN63]

Could the swollen ankles having anything to do with your water and sodium intake? I know when I'm away from home my diet changes considerably. Restaurant food has a lot more salt than I usually use. Plus, a glass of ice water is not just a few steps away. Now on to more mundane things... lol. So while you appreciate and, dare I say, crave the mundane at times, nobody needs the "mundane" to the extent of scrubbing poo off of their drive! Bless your sweet heart... that is all sorts of exceptional icky and not mundane at all, but pretty much horrific! I'd gladly stick to laundry and doing the dishes! I'm glad you have the exciting and amazing to help the mundane balance things out. We don't want you getting too big for your britches!

[@sarahtimm93]

Mr. Bean IS an icon.

[@carolinekeig6564]

Carrie: I am grateful for the *manatee* in my life

[@elt1135]

Will’s dancing cousin in Fresh Prince is called Carlton....... not ‘Colton’.

[@Carrie]

Which is what I said. Maybe it's the English accent? 🤷‍♀️

[@elt1135]

Carrie Hope Fletcher thanks. I am also English. I also checked what you said twice before commenting.

[@Rainbowofthefallen]

💙

[@leonieburke3024]

First I love ur videos

[@vivianmelder5889]

OK, Carrie, we love you, but we NEED to see the throw you took from the party!!!

[@IHaveAPandaHat]

It's on her bed during the video x

[@GabrielaLemos3]

Maybe you've been eating much sodium while in the US, with that our circulation get compromised explaining why you swollen last 2 trips home. Our body start to react different to different things all at once when we get older (my bday is the same as Oli and I'm a 92' kid so I'm on board with you lol)

[@tillycollard]

Mr Bean, is an icon

[@magnoliahassan7040]

Wow so early!!

[@3Sofaa]

Okay, I think I really should stop watching KZbin while eating. 🤢😂

[@peachy.peachy.peachy]

I was eating peacefully until the drain story 😂

[@sophiekate9370]

😂😂😂

[@Torchyc]

i am sorry to say ...... but i was just watching the cat :D
