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

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.

Happy new year Caroline I just have to let you know how much I love your input on YouTube.
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

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

Happy New Year!
So sorry to hear about Ron. He was a lovely cat.
Thank you for all your content Caroline. I feel as though I know you and enjoy ‘catching up’ on what you’ve been doing. X

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. 😊

Im so sorry about Ron. I will miss the occadional sightings of him. He had a good long life with you

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

[larainedaultrey]

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

[willowgirl]

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.

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 ❤

[moirajack]

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

[joannalewis]

Sorry to hear about Ron but what a long happy life he has had. I have a 10 year old dog I've had from a pup and I dread that day 😢 but I'm enjoying him and appreciating him all the more. I prefer him to most people 😂

[KarenG.-qswc]

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.❤🌻☀️

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

[karenharris]

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

[siantowers]

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.

[marywells]

Good for you setting 0 tolerance for abuse and negativity. You are right. It is your channel. If someone doesn't agree they can move their finger forward. Have a great day.

[vanessamootoo]

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.❤

[gwynethowen]

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.🎉
