Reacting To My Plans For 2020 | Vlogmas16 

Carrie uncensored swearing, is enough needed on what theatres closing has done

“U HAD MORE THAN 7 WEEKS OFF BABE” carrie 🤣🤣 if u don’t laugh you’ll cry HAHA

2019 Carrie and 2020 Carrie are two different people I love it 😂

Vlogmas 16! Sorry! I'm losing track!

The ending reminded me of this Tennyson quote: “Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'...” Here’s to a happier new year

On the thoughts for 2021, I found this meme on Facebook, "NOBODY claim 2021 as their year. We're gonna be good, walk in real quiet, and don't touch anything."😅 ❤️🇦🇺

It’s crazy to think that this time last year we had no idea about bubbles, social distancing or anything like that. Oh if only I could go back and tell my poor unsuspecting self what was to come.

"tHere iS sO MuCH mOrE tO ThaT STOrY"

When you said, “how could it be worse” I audibly gasped, said “Carrie,” and knocked on wood for all of us 😰

My 'break a leg' shirt arrived yesterday and it's so cosy. Perfect for writing essays while drinking coffee in a blanket. I hope your other merch ideas eventually come to fruition

Me, December 2019: "I'm going into the new year and new decade with a plan to finally move away from my family home, take up the dream job I've been working towards for three years, and take better account of my mental health. I haven't been kind to myself all of this decade, so here we go 2020s, it's going to be amazing!" 2020: "No ✨😘😉"

When you look back at plans you had for 2020 you have to laugh or you will just cry. People ask me if I am buying a diary for next year and I just say "No, not until I see a trailer"

“2020’s gonna be a good one🎶“ oh past Carrie, I’m sorry I did giggle at your innocent optimism

"I remember that day... I had the best mince pies" is the main reason I identify with Carrie

Carrie's awareness of the passage of time as marked by discoveries of quality baked goods is a practice I fully commit to living by.

alternative title: "torturing myself in the most wonderful time of the year"

✨ThErEs mOrE tO tHaT sToRy✨ a mood 😭😭

I feel so bad this is just Carrie looking at the past and telling her old self non of this can or will happen 😭

Carrie, it sounds silly but thank you for being open about living in an unfinished house, my house has been under construction for about 5 years and living in it over lockdown was pretty difficult when it was hard to let builders work on it, it’s gotten better but it’s difficult mentally I guess, not sure if that made any sense but oh well😖x

Poor Dec 2019 us. So hard to believe so much awfulness was right around the corner & we just had no idea. As for getting hopes up, I now need open heart surgery for a congenital problem in 2021 so already there goes my hope for a better year :( BUT if worldwide, and def nationwide in America we could have a better, calmer, kinder year...still have hope for that!

I'm sort of glad we all have the same general feeling toward new year "goals" and "resolutions"....cautiously optimistic but it is what it is.

the number of times i said “2020s gonna be a good one” after your video is nuts and i cant get over how wrong i was

honestly, you're vlogs are helping me get through everything thats going on right now, thank you!! I appreciate you so much! peace and love x

I’m sending you the biggest virtual hug. You can see in your eyes how sad you are that the shows been stopped again. You are ace and loved massively by so many xxxx have a merry Christmas lovely and let’s bloody hope 2021 is a much much better year xxxxx

Me 2019- moved to Auckland, NZ for a 2 year working visa. Panicked at the end of March and came back home to Nottingham.... grandad died, dog died. Now finally managing to head back to NZ in January. Worst year ever! Really hoping next year will be better for everyone ❤

I feel ya, I have a document on my computer dated February 8th 2020 titled - Travel plans 2020!

Storytime: last Christmas when I opened my present, which was tickets to six the musical, I announced to the whole room that 2020 is the year of theatre (I had already received two other tickets for different musicals for 2020) oh boy was I wrong!!

We have to be hopeful for 2021, we're hopefuls!

Anyone else Miss the click click at the end of each vid

Over the years you've become more raw and real online and I love it!! ❤

I laughed as soon as you said “how can it get worse” cause I’ve given up on guessing what next year will be like. I hope it gets better, but I know things could get worse(cause we’ve seen that) so I will NOT be jinxing that 😂

You should sell this to the "Goes Wrong" crew. They can do "The Renovations That Go Wrong". Granted, 2020 has been "The Year That Goes Wrong"

I think we all had high hopes for 2020, nobody had any idea what a train wreck this year was going to be.

“You had more than 7 weeks of babe” 😂 This year really has been shit with sprinkles of positive moments. I have both candles and they smell lush 😍 I also have the bracelet and most recently the T-shirt! I love them both I really do hope 2021 is a better year and you get to go back to Les Miz before starting Cinders 💙

Started the video and it said 15. Ended it and you'd edited it to 16 🤣😂 I'm so sorry this year has been a mess! I absolutely feel your pain. I work in care so while I have not struggled financially, I have been drained emotionally by the constant PPE, questions from residents about when this will all end and having to force myself out of the house when it felt like everyone else was hiding away. All while homeschooling my two different children. Throw in a cancelled holiday to America. It's been tough! So 2021 has to be better right? 🤞🤞🤞🤞 xxx

Oh, how I feel you "hugs" The plans we had for 2020, the things we wanted to do... "sigh" I had a birthday trip to London planned for my birthday in August - so grateful to get the money back for that - had tickets to see Alanis Morisette in concert and "Tina Turner" - the musical and we all know how that went... So yes, a big bear hug to you and yours and that you will be able to get some stage air in ASAP - and some shelves! 😁 And when you talked about the wardrobe for your dresses, I had the think of the scene in "27 dresses" - when she opens that closet with the rainbow of bridesmaid dresses... 🤣

On March 4th, 2020, I tweeted the words, “Things are finally really starting to come together for me.” What a mistake. Things have not stopped falling apart since, more than I ever thought they could fall apart. If I don’t laugh I’ll cry. I’ve been laughing through tears a lot lately.

A friend and I both bought Break A Leg shirts I think the day you released them! Glad to be able to support you and your work

This is quite heartbreaking

haha I feel this, I was going to journal after every month to recap what I did but I ended up not doing anything worth journaling about 😭😂

My pessimistic self is picturing 2021 Carrie reacting to “how could it possibly get worse” and going WELL LET ME TELL YOU

My jaw DROPPED when I heard you say "shit" without any warning. 8 years on and I've never heard that! My ears have been blessed. Really appropriate, I thought. 😅

I loved this! That’s my feeling - we’re starting off with hundreds of thousands being vaccinated which is such an excellent leap forward, so already a mild improvement on 2020😂ps, is that you and Ruthie Henshall in the pic behind you?!

How could it possibly be worse? Let's all just put good vibes out into the universe and hope to whatever we believe in that a year from now we aren't watching Future Carrie say, "Oh it got worse." 😝

Hahaha Carrie’s reaction to 2020 going to be a great year and having 7 weeks off 😂👌

I just watched this video recently and my reactions were the same😂😂😂: 2020s gonna be a good year *sad cringe*, "7 weeks off" ... oof honey your gonna get a lot more than that 😂

Feeling your heartbreak through the screen :(

Is that Ruthie in the photo behind you??

what sort of painter doesn't know not to close the door????!!!! also ahhh retrospective irony!

My heart is breaking watching you 💔I know how much I miss the theatre and performing and I can’t imagine how it must feel for you 🙈sending you all my love and how amazing is it that you got through all them letters. You are amazing ❤️

Hi everyone! These vlogmas videos definitely bring some sort of positivity/routine in such a draining & negative time. Couldn’t be more grateful. I hope you’re all well, and have had a great day. Much love 🌈

There’s a company I think called sliderobes and the make your wardrobes custom for your space I have them and they are amazing

"how can it be worse?" is my exact thoughts when it comes to 2021. We've almost gotten through this year, we can face anything the next!

Carrie, your awesome, stay positive, and don't let this get you down. I have been screaming at the videos of the lead of 007 filming right now in the uk, and him getting upset and cursing at the production team and crew over social distancing, and my answer is if the west end and Broadway are closed till next may, so can the film company, sorry but its true. and i am saying that cause I am part of the theater community and i don't want to see any one hurt or get sick, but its only a movie. Carrie your awesome stay safe and can't wait for your next video.

Ah Carrie. Things can only get better. For some reason whenever I watch your videos I always remember that video you made at the beginning of the year announcing the Cinderella role when you were laughing and saying you still had a feeling something was going to go wrong with it.

Keep on shining you beautiful diamond and brightening me and other people's days 💕

I'm really glad that, however bad it may have felt, that 2020 wasnt actually the worst year in the history of the world! Things have been rubbish, but in less than a year we have come up with a vaccine and that gives me so much hope for next year. Carrie, do not lose that hope you have for next year and that things will be better. That optimism will surely get you through

All we can do is live in the present and take it one day at a time 🥰

“🎶2020’s gonna be a good one!!🎵” Awwwwwwwwwwww! 2019 Carrie was soooooo optimistic ☺️ 💜

All my experience with building work is that you have to be on the builders 24/7 to see what’s going on and that cheap options are shit options. We still have several windows that don’t open for paint reasons. It can be such a disaster

You saying "how could it be worse" and my anxiety-riddled brain automatically started a list: more loved ones dying, fascism rising everywhere, europe breaking apart, world war, climate change suddenly worsening,... But still, I like your hopefulness. I too hope 2021 is better.

These time are sent to test us, the strongest of steel has to be forged in the hottest of fires, and I think we have all been hardened by this year and when this year is past we will be stronger because of it, as you said it would be hard for things to be worse. Here is to 2021, my the fates give us a peaceful, kind and prosperous new year xx

"how could 2021 get any worse [than 2020]" Carrie, just don't. Don't!

Lots of Love Carrie, Hope 2021 is better for you and all the Theatre world!

Hello friends! I hope you all okay :) I've had an okay day today I hope you are too. Remember you are beautiful,loved and valid ! You are all awesome !

I’m like you, Carrie. I don’t want to say anything about 2021 until least March! But I do have hope for next year ❤️ sending all my love to you, Carrie ❤️

I know what you mean about the savings... I was planning on saving up for a new car... then irish lockdown happened, no work through our busiest season, didnt get half as much saved as I want and my car died just as we came out of the first lockdown and I had to take out a way bigger finance loan than I wanted AND pretty much drain my savings 🙈 the joys of 2020!

This is so cathartic. I don't think anyone had the year they wanted. Hang in there babe xoxo.

Is that a Haunted Mansion sofa?!?

Along with how much everything has changed, Ive also been thinking what has stayed the same: i still want to help people, I still want to make art, I'm still grateful for my family (even though my parents are now also my roommates since ive moved back home). SO much has changed, and pretty much all of it for the worse. But i find a lot of comfort in the little things that feel dependable.

"2020s gonna be a good one" I think we all laughed out loud at the irony of that one

2021: How could it possibly be worse? That would be a feat! In 2020, I've had 2 car accidents (I did not cause either one), I had covid for 2 months, I lost my job, and both of my parents were very ill. (On the bright side, I survived 2 car accidents and covid, both of my parents recovered, and I got a new job that I love far more than my old one.) 2021 would have to be a real train wreck to top that. :P Best thing that happened in 2020? Trump lost and will no longer be President come January 20, 2021, so that year is looking brighter already! :D =) X)

I just want to give you a big hug.

Carrie: how could it be worse? me: *knocks on wood*

"I don't wanna get my hopes up for 2021 because I did that for 2020 and look what happened!" SAME. My best friend and I agreed we wanted 2020 to be "different" than 2019. We've decided in 2021 we're gonna be more SPECIFIC.

Thankyou Carrie, I just preordered with this kiss. Keep on keeping on, you're awesome xxxx

"how can it be worse" ooooh no you didn't... you didn't just say that.. whyyyyy would would you do that to us

This was a great video to have laugh before work.😂 Think we have all had a bit of a pants year carrie glad we are in the same boat. could we have a full house video I feel like theres a story there.

i wish i could write from home i had a 20000 word dissertation due in September... i am still writing it , due may now XD

Hey Carrie, if you need a chuckle, there's a Canadian RU-vidr named Julie Nolke who has done a series of four videos over the last eight months titled: "Explaining the Pandemic To My Past Self".

Tbh my 2021 starts when things are back to normal. I can't cope without a routine so I'm using now and new year to prep for whatever I want to achieve in spring/summer/Autumn cos tbh 2020 ain't it :/

you should sell your tea again on the hopeful store xx

Put the kettle on!!! There's another Carrie vlog!!!

Is that a Haunted Mansion sofa????? Or just a very similar pattern? Love it either way!

something about carrie swearing without censoring makes me happy and i don’t know why😂just me okay

YAY The Hopeful Shop absolutely made my day!! 🙌

I love this so funny seeing you so hopeful for the upcoming year and then we had a Terrible year

You said exactly what everyone has been thinking in the last couple of weeks

Hugs. Cmon bring back musicals and theatre and the lights at the West End. Missing normality :(

I know your doors are fixed but should something else literally go awry, draft excluders are AMAZING. HQ has windows that basically don't close and I have 1 pair of tights that I chopped in half and stuffed like a sausage with sock goblin widows (odd socks) and they are fantastic for keeping the cold out. 👌🐧

Conditor and cook is the best!!!

So happy to see this!!

bag of letters completely finished appreciation comment!!!!!

‘2020 is gonna be a good one’ - everybody in December 2019 😂😂

At this point things can either go up or down won't matter because of the year

I really love your eyeshadow look in this video :)

Random question. Is that a picture of you and Ruthie Henshall in the background? x

Carrie: I don’t know how to say this diplomatically Me: they were shit. Carrie: they were shit -giggle- Me: MOODDD. Homeownership is a heartache but worth it 💕

I had some shit doors like that once. Everyone would always somehow jam their toes in them

🤣🤣😂😂😂 her positivity of her past self is really annoying her current self. Bless you carrie hang on in there. Xx
