Caroline, I totally agree with you regarding the parents parking spaces being placed farther away & the elderly spaces closer to the shops. 🇦🇺❤️

[@helenatremblay4019]

You always put a smie on my face and leave me feeling happy! and relaxed!❤❤😊😊

[@margaretbinks2595]

I agree with you re parking, as an over 80 person in order to get out of the car I need to open the door really wide which normal car spaces do not allow for.

[@mbd6054]

That's a very good point. People with arthritis need more space to manoeuvre into and out of a car.

[@katetattershall2983]

I completely agree with you Caroline on the elderly, they are overlooked in so many parts of society x

[@karenb292]

When my children, 36 and 31 now, were little we didn’t have parent and child spaces….we managed! 🤣

[@catherineevans6674]

I agree on parking Caroline. Parents need extra space, not proximity to the entrance. It used to annoy me that parents with older children used them because they were with their children and it was handy (a mum with 3 teenagers doesn't need a parent and child parking space!) and I'd be trying to get a car seat out in a normal parking space. Moving the spaces would also solve that problem😀

[@Von1966]

Thrilled with Beanies, tried the a little while ago on your rec, many thanks for the discount code. That shade of green of the dress looks lovely on you. Xx

Try using wonton wrappers for your spring rolls. And if you can’t get them, use filo pastry brushed with a touch of vegetable oil, then baked in a hot oven

[@CarolineMrsM]

Thank you!

[@mandymoo3530]

Hi lovely Caroline , very much enjoyed this vlog , you sum up how a lot of us feel regarding parking , and the treatment of our older people , its all about the young these days....it's like they just don't matter , when lets face it without them this blooming country would have ground to a halt....more respect should be given....., your bread looked yum...and so much better for you than shop bought....Hope you feel better soon , life is sometimes hard , but onwards and upwards....have a lovely week , look after you xxx💖💖💖

[@paulinedixon3490]

Caroline Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Parent child parking really hacks me off At most supermarkets now all the bays by the store are taken up with them. My husband is 81 and his legs are giving up the ghost now. We are having to park further and further away from the stores. Children can sit in trolleys so why the need to be so close Children who are a bit older could walk into the store surely.

[@louisemason2006]

If your husbands legs are that bad then apply for a Blue Badge which will help with parking 😊

[@paulinedixon3490]

@@louisemason2006I’ve tried to get him to apply BUT he’s too stubborn. Hates to admit he’s getting NO is old now. Male pride I’m afraid. 😊

[@mbd6054]

Well said. Exactly. What about the elderly! It's just absurd. I see strong young people taking priority over the elderly, and I get very annoyed. Thank you for raising this issue, Caroline.

[@helenland9906]

Parking woes, ive had a stroke need a stick cant get a blue badge as i can walk for more than 10 mins with stick, but like u say i have to then negotiate a car park. Love all your content Caroline💖

[@veronicwbrennan4002]

Don't give up re: the Blue Badge. Luckily I got mine first go. Reapply but get someone, perhaps with Age Concern, to help you. They know how to answer the questions. They are worded in such a way we can trip ourselves up.. you deserve this help. Reapply and good luck.

[@courtneyr19]

Completely agree with you on the parking. Elderly people should be given priority. They are completely overlooked in our society.

[@rebeccalittle2589]

We all need an Ashley in our lives! He seems to be able to turn his hand to anything-now fixing washing machines! Estate agent come engineer😂

Love that colour top on you x

[@moderate9984]

Love your videos Caroline. The rice paper wrappers you’ve used seem to be for steaming and not frying, the spring roll wrappers are normally light brown or darker in colour, those will crisp up and be good for spring rolls. Anyway, everything you made looked delicious. Green dress looks lovely on you.

[@Von1966]

Can also be eaten as they are filled with fresh fillings. Think beansprouts, corn, carrot etc..

[@marihop5117]

Hi Caroline, I’m with you on the parking for the elderly. Great rings too and as always love your make up . Tfs have a great weekend :)

[@imagination914]

Totally agree about the parking for the elderly, its simply a mark of respect that doesn't exist 😢. I think personally that it all boils down to money. Young families probably spend 3 or 4 times more than the rest of us and they want to keep them happy, therefore the special treatment. Its sad really cause we are teaching the youngsters that they are more important. Thats the reason a lot of them feel entitled. Its our fault. Love the rings Caroline. I have done the same but mostly cause i gained weight and it's very expensive to have my 3 made larger. I will try to loose the weight first. But the fake one are beautiful ❤

[@maxallen-macdonald8791]

Caroline, I could only access 6 episodes of the podcast so perhaps that is part of the issue? I too worry about my good jewellery and never go ashore on a cruise with the good stuff on so have purchased other rings to wear instead. I agree about the seniors spots!! Thank you for this.

[@ritamatters9129]

I totally agree the soup is delicious- it’s the closest thing I can find to my Mum in Law’s homemade chicken soup. 😋

[@cassiesadz352]

Totally agree with you!! Why cant parent n kid bays be further away? Theyve got wide places fair play but why fo they need to be vertually inside the stores🤷‍♀️aslong as theyve trolley bay near so they dont have to leave kids🤷‍♀️point well made! X

[@karenmarsh7851]

Ooh that bedtime brew is lovely!! Have it every evening and helps me sleep! Xx

[@kimgale7858]

Morning Caroline, I couldn't agree more with you on the parent and toddler spaces. I don't feel they need to be so close to the shops. Also people do take advantage of them. I think they are more for pushchairs , so you have the room to get child in and out safely. However when you see people with their children clearly to old for pushchairs. Makes you wonder. Loving the green top from yours. Colour suits you. X

[@dollydaydream5839]

You suit that green colour and the outfit is nice. Thanks for the link to the foundation I did look for it once but Boots didn't have it in at the time. I have about ten different bloomin foundations and tinted moisturisers that aren't right for me,they are either the wrong texture or too yellow or too orange..so annoying. I hate it when they sit in the cracks and wrinkles. too.....not a good look!!! And I too have my grumpy head on today ! 🙃

[@rodheap9793]

Really do agree re parking sorry re podcasts enjoyed them so much !😮 Glad health news isn't as bad as what you thought. I put my makeup on and do my self up even if l am not going anywhere make's me feel better 🤗rod cannot get his head round this 🤔all your cooking looked great regards Lesley in anglesey 🙋👍

[@Seabob65]

LOVED the podcast - totes agree about the parking issue, i work in a care home which is soon to be closed - all about saving money apparently, all residential care homes in the county are due to be closed, it's so sad, thanks for all your hard work with the vlogs xxx

[@CarolineMrsM]

Oh that's so sad, I'm so sorry to hear that. x

[@lovdolls]

I am rather new here my second visit really and I must comment on the fact that you are saying you are old. Oh my gosh there is nothing old about you, your skin is lovely and your hands are not old hands. I can show you old hands! I live in Alaska and one must be rather tough here as there is no such animal as an elderly or parent and child parking spot. There is handicapped however. I have been hauling my groceries and feed sacks out the store by myself and believe me when I say no man will help. It was a relief when I found another store that did haul the 50 lb sacks out for me usually by young girls haha. Your green outfit was lovely on you and I like those shoes. 💕

[@jackiemonk3542]

Good Afternoon, evening or morning 😊... I have good costume jewelry for traveling too. I have a few good family pieces from my grandmother & my wedding ring that I would absolutely be crushed if anything happened to them. Traveling with good costume jewelry is smart & now days you can hardly tell the difference.

[@mbd6054]

Me too. I never bring my good jewellery with me when travelling. Costume jewellery definitely gives you peace of mind that you won't lose anything irreplacable.

[@marionpaterson772]

I can see your point but I think there's parent and children spaces because they need more room to get toddlers and babies out of the car. It can be a struggle getting a baby out of a car seat and into a pram without scratching the car next to you if you were too close. I have a blue badge but often can't get a disabled space. It's annoying but I'm pleased that at least I can still get out to a supermarket. It would be good though if they could cater for everyone 😊

[@mbd6054]

I don't think anyone has an issue with allocating parent and child spaces in a car park, but they can be located further away from the entrances, and spaces allocated to the elderly closer to the entrances instead.

[@flourescent1690]

Yay Darren! Nice that he is OK with being in the videos! He is a good egg.

[@moirainstance2685]

Great vlog thank you, yes really miss the Podcast, but do understand why you've stopped xxx

[@ann7864]

Here's a couple of cheeky ways to subvert the "baby & child" parking spots: adult child and elderly parent park in spaces because they are a parent & child couple. Or older person parks in spot and if called out, says well I'm a parent and have a child. The sign doesn't say I need the child with me! Able bodied people of any age need to be the ones parking farther away to save the close in spots for those who can't walk as far or need assistance. And every doctor, PT person, nutritionist says we need to find more ways to get our steps in!

[@juliajones2283]

The nighttime Yorkshire tea decaf tea sounds good definitely will lookout for that! I really enjoyed your podcast as I enjoy the banter between you both so I’m sorry to hear it’s ended. But obviously still great to enjoy both your KZbin channels as always. But I must admit I’m not a great podcast listener, I listened to yours because it was you two!! Glad you are ok. Xx

[@gailbourne4506]

Hi Caroline, have noticed that you have got a thermomix and was wondering if you could show us some recipes in it and what you think about it. I am hesitating about purchasing one. What do you think of yours. Xx

[@CarolineMrsM]

Hi Gail - I'm very new to it, I've only had it about a month. Enjoying it so far, I love the simplicity of not having to weigh everything separately and had a lot of success with bread and pizza dough recipes, also the best cake I've ever made (I am not one of life's bakers!). I do feel a bit tied to the recipes in the app (which are hit and miss - some great, some not so much), I need to get more confidence with using it 'freestyle' for my own recipes, I think. I'm not 100% convinced I'll use it enough to warrant the cost, but I checked resale prices before buying it and if I find I'm not using it enough after a year or so, I'll probably sell it on.

[@victoriafoley7470]

Love a grumpy ranting Caroline! Says what we are all thinking/feeling! 👍. Why are crumpets always never as toasted as we want them and require a further toasting! Hope you are feeling less discombobulated. Take care. x

[@juliemacefield3307]

I totally agree about the parking in Tesco right by the doors while disabled parking is further away I was confronted by a woman in the car park because I parked in one of these spaces all the disabled spaces where full and I had my blue badge she had a child sat in the trolly so the child wasn't even walking so why does she need a space right by the door when people with difficulties have to park halfway across the car park so annoying 🤬 We didn't move out of the space I gave her a few chosen words !!! 🤬

[@missweller]

Caroline I 101% agree with you regarding the said Tesco … I was passing by with my father inlaw very recently- after a trip to the nearby hospital. He needed a few bits so I thought we’d nip in & I also would treat him to a “capita, Montei”!! my father-in-law’s interpretation of a “cappuccino” 😳😂. And because of the hideous parking, we ended up driving in driving around and driving out again.. yes we could’ve parked on the very very far end …but as he’s 90 and doesn’t have a blue badge… (good for him)👍… long walk up was a no-go.. damn you Tesco’s😡.. grumpy rant over 😊

[@CarolineMrsM]

I love your FIL's name for a cappuccino, made me smile!!

[@janicehogg1841]

I always get confused with the Revolution brand. Isn't there more than one? Superdrug has a range of the same name. Revolution also available in Boots. Can they be the same?

[@annsmith1922]

This has always been my rant about parents and children parking !! In my view, it’s all about the size of the flipping huge cars that they are driving.They say it’s because they can’t open the doors enough to get the children out!!! Boo hoo!!!!! I didn’t have the luxury of a car when I had my children. It was struggle with two toddlers, a buggy and the the same on the way back, plus shopping. Obviously it doesn’t enter there heads about elderly not being able to walk. I blame the supermarkets for giving in to the poor struggling parents with tanks for cars!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@jacquiliddell7680]

It seems to me children n their parents don’t want to walk anywhere, they are taken and picked up from school in the car. Most of my age group walked a mile or more to school You are right not everyone can qualify for a blue badge. I have leukaemia and get out of breath very quickly although not over weight, but my drug that’s probably saving my life does that to me.

So,so agree about the parking - when I take my elderly mother shopping I use those spaces I would just love for someone to say something 😂

[@patgoodchild8045]

Totally agree with you about the parking spaces, bloody madden. Also our busy local car park has had 12 spaces removed and had electric charging bays installed………no one has seen any being used yet!!

[@susancraig3966]

Enjoyed the podcast and sorry it has stopped, however appreciate that finding fresh subject matter was prob an issue as well. I do enjoy a ranty video - and just to say in my experience disabled spaces are often used by those 'in a hurry' who, one may say have hidden disabilities but they also have "hidden blue badges" - but in supermarket car parks who is monitoring the use of any of the restricted bays to prevent this?

[@yvonnedowling629]

Hello Caroline, I totally agree with the parking situation, we need to show more respect to the elderly, we will all need extra help eventually ! Thanks for the cooking demo, it all looked very nice, you always come up with good ideas. I was a podcast listener, but I think it would catch on better if you did it the way Carla and Lexx did. We were able to watch it live, and join in with any ideas and comments. I love watching you guys as well as listening. Have a good week and stay safe. ❤❤❤

[@samchant-summers5382]

Love you Caroline - you say it how it is! I have been saying that about elderly and parking for years! Xx❤

[@LifeinLancashire]

I definitely agree with you regarding the parking spaces. However, it's sad to say, but like how the disabled spaces get abused, the elderly spaces would also probably be abused by the those perfectly physically able motorists that cannot be bothered to walk any distance at all to get into the store. Most 'normal' parking spaces are also far too narrow for me to get out of the car easily these days as my mobility isn't as great as it was. Yes, there definitely ought to be wider elderly parking spaces nearer the store, and parent & child spaces put at the far end of the car park. I've even seen some parent & child spaces that are nearer to the store than the actual disabled spaces!

[@trax657]

I agree with you whole heartedly about parking spaces Caroline. Xx

[@ginastannard9614]

Hi Caroline , I think your so right . Most younger couples with kids can walk a bit further , so long as they keep their kids in check . I’m a disabled person (with badge) so I’m lucky most of the time . But I’ve been in that position ( before badge) where I’ve had to walk a long way with shopping in pain and walk past loads of empty parent and child spaces. Obviously these spaces are great , but maybe not so many , or maybe on pension days make those spaces available for both parties ❤

[@lindaallen78]

Well, I am a lady of a certain age with worrying health issues. Hope to know more on Friday, so I might be grumpy that day or floating on air. We'll see. Glad you are happier about your health situation. 😊 Tesco's, just didn't think about the elderly parking in this situation did they? Not very well thought through. Don't begrudge the mum's and children extra wide parking but something for us too would have be nice. Like someone mentioned, it's a nightmare trying to get out of car in a tight space, especially with a walking stick. 🤔 Loved your evening outfit it really suited you.

Caroline you have voiced my ire over this issue, I have stiff knees caused by OE which causes my back to ache, I am 70 but this is the only problem I have and yes I get angry when these mother and child spaces are used by people with children over say 6 and sometimes teenagers for goodness sakes, I don't qualify for a Blue badge along with lots of older people, I walked up the car park last week with a man who was 94 and had had a hip replacement, not only this but some of the staff park as near as they can to the doors for goodness sakes. Disabled people near the doors fine but parent and child could be moved a bit further away.

So glad I managed to get my 90 year old mother a disabled badge although there are so many none blue badge holders parked in the disabled parking spaces sometimes I can’t get parked. To add to your rant - disabled people in wheelchairs and all their fellow travellers at airport check in. They are in a wheelchair and therefore “sitting down” why do they need to jump the queue- if on crutches I could maybe understand - but there is no pressure on their legs! Seems to be more and more of them every time we travel.
