hey guys welcome back to my channel I am freshly back from the school run and doing
the gym Keegan's gone to Dunkin Donuts to do some work we have our cars being cleaned out the front
which I'll show you in a minute and I need friend just made me jump the dogs have come upstairs and
I saw him out the corner of my eye and for some reason I thought the car wash man was in the
house watching me vlog anyway let me show you so as you can see we've got the guy cleaning both
of our cars which is nice I'm aware that it's very bougie and we could have you know dropped our cars
off to do that but we're just thinking of saving time seeing as we both needed our cars cleaned
inside and out it wasn't that much more expensive to have the mobile service come to your house to
do it I mean I have no idea how they're going to do it with water because they're not plugging into
our water so they must have tanks of water in the van but anyway I need to sort out the office um
slash the spare bedroom because I have obviously commandeed it and I've got stuff everywhere it
needs to be functionable as my office and a spare bedroom and I've just delayed it and delayed it
and delayed it there are some things that I can't sort out just now for example all my books so what
I'm going to be doing is taking these down I think and building some shelves across here so
I can put my books up there but that is slightly more of a long term thing because yeah that's not
like something I can just do today so I do need to do a bit more sorting out a bit more tidying
and organizing so I'll try and get that done this afternoon and then I can walk the dogs I did just
get a lovely delivery from Catherine so Catherine thank you so much look you know when Catherine
sent me a lampshade this was the bottom of the lamp is a cocker spaniel on some antique books
well not real antique books but you know what I mean two of my favorite things so that is so
cute delivery for Oscar thank you so much Oscar's gonna love this got a whole bunch of treats look
at that a puppuccino and a and a blanket and there's another toy under there so thank you so
much for that Catherine very very nice it's like a little housewarming gift for those asking I am
going to get a PO Box up here I just need to sort it out I'm currently in the process of canceling
my London one I mean I I sent a cancellation thing like weeks ago and they still haven't updated me
so I've sent them a message being like hello is this canceled and yes this is Cher and Dolly
um I also remembered that I have some footage from when I was Ill at Christmas and I got a package
from Joe Malik you troublemakers get out basically I had a package at Christmas from one of my
viewers Joe and um I was not very well at all so I was opening it and I said to my mom I was like
I'm not gonna film opening this because I'm not up to being on camera I don't feel well so I was
opening it mum was like no you've got to film it she was like oh Joe would love to see you opening
this on camera you've got to film it and she was like I'll film it for you so my mum bless her got
a her little phone out and filmed me opening it on her phone so the footage isn't very good quality
just thought I'd show you that because Joe got me some really cute gifts oh wow look it's Ava
Ava oh so cute
drink coffee read books be happy that's really nice that's me all over my favorite chocolates
they are lovely they are the best right Aussie Moon so nice having
Christmas presents after Christmas but like extends it does Christmas period oh wow The
Unofficial Harry Potter cookbook so I think this I've seen this before this is called everything
that appears in Harry Potter they then make a recipe for it that's amazing I could see you
doing that having a Harry Potter evening and yeah me too oh thanks Joe I've got the card as well
um got a Christmas card and I've got a letter which I need to read now so thank you very much
Joe and yeah as I said I am going to get a PO Box sorted out because I have had some messages from
people saying when are you gonna open one up north because I have some things to send you so um yeah
I'll get that sorted but anyway I think first step is to get showered and have a shave I just thought
I'd tell you as well we got a brand new duvet so key number four had like a feather duvet and it
started to get you know when like feathers go to like they all Bunch up in one corner when they're
a little bit old so we've actually gotten rid of it and we've gotten a bamboo duvet now bambuvet
I can't say bamboo duvet now without saying bamboo Bay is my favorite word I think we should
all start saying it bamboo and this last night was our first first night with the bamboo duvet
and oh my gosh it was so soft and comfortable I've always been a fan of synthetic bedding I actually
don't like duck down or goose down stuff bedding I just it makes me sneeze I've got allergies it also
triggers my asthma with the dust in it and always has done so my parents have always had synthetic
bedding mainly for that reason I think because of my asthma so I've always grown up with synthetic
bedding and I just feel like it's it's better it's just warmer it's softer it doesn't Bunch up in in
corners and things like that so yeah I'm really really pleased with bamboo bedding I definitely
recommend it it was from a company called Panda and yeah it feels very weighty as well quite heavy
but yeah absolutely lovely love it also from a cruelty aspect like I hate duck like down stuffed
things I tell you if you what watch a video of how they collect and harvest the feathers from
ducks and geese you'll never buy anything with duck or goose feathers or any type of feathers
ever again it's horrific it's something that I wish I'd never seen but at the same time I'm glad
I've seen because you know I will never spend my money on down stuffed items whether it's a coat or
whether it's you know duvet or bedding I'm happy to sleep in it and use it if friends have it and
like I've slept in you know Keegan's bed which has been down stuffed but yeah I would never spend my
own money on it and support such a cruel industry no matter how luxurious they try to Market it I'm
like there's nothing luxury about animal cruelty I'd rather sleep in a bamboo stuffed duvet which
is nice and soft and no cruelty all right Crocs on fully showered let's make a decaf coffee it's
only car 20 past 11 it feels like the afternoon it feels like 2 p.m but that's because I got up
at 6 45 this morning I'm also getting used to sort of getting up a little bit earlier
um particularly when the kids are here obviously to get up in time for school we have to get up
you know at 6 45. like last week I did today in bed for another days I was like you know what
I'm I'm just gonna stay in bed but even then I still was Wide Awake by like 7 30 quarter
to eight which normally I like to sleep till like 8 30 or 9 because I'm a greedy sleeper
anyway umiz I was gonna take the dogs for w-a-l-k and I'm spelling it because they are right here
and they'll go crazy if I say the word well she will a Fen won't Fen does not like them
he likes he likes them when he's on them but if I was to say the word right now he wouldn't bat
an eyelid because the man cleaning the cars is here and he's going to be here for two hours and
he was like I'll just give you a shout if I if I need anything so I'm like oh I can't really leave
for a dog walk in case he needs something so I have to walk them later I'm just sorting out my
vitamins so that I don't I only have to sort them out once a week instead of going into my cupboard
every day and unscrewing them all and getting one out so this has saved me actually a lot of time I
haven't actually told you what kind of vitamins I take and to be honest I'm toying with the notion
that I've read some research that lots of vitamins are just a waste of time I do think there are some
vitamins that are more essential than others for example especially in the UK vitamin D is
not a waste of time to take because we don't get enough sun and things like that but maybe some of
them are like a multivitamin aren't as necessary and I've stopped taking multivitamin now once I
ran out I've stopped anyway that's the sort of thing I talk about on my health is wealth tier
so if you're not a health is wealth member then I make videos once a month all about to do with
Fitness and like mindset and stuff the last video I did posted a couple of days ago was mainly to
do with like mindset and learning to love myself and like affirmations and like how I've done that
um so it's to do a mental and physical um but yeah if you're not a member on any of my tiers have a
look check it out the health is wealth tier gets the monthly videos plus all of the extra bonus
members only videos as well so that is technically the best value but anyway thanks for listening to
me right along it's nice having a completely free day but it's also a little bit jarring of like oh
my gosh I didn't plan my day I didn't plan ahead therefore I'm at a loss here's the cushion that
Joe bought me so that lives on my chair don't know why that was on my desk here's a little portrait
I've got of of Ava I've got two of these actually I left one with Lucy uh in London and I've got
this one here I do want the other one it's just I didn't have time to like I ran out of time in the
end when I was moving hence why I've still got some things back in London actually I can show
you while the builders aren't here that for some reason it's it's half 11 and they're not here but
this is uh the current state of the guest bathroom which is going to be nice the bath is going along
here and there's going to be a little stud wall here we've got like a wet room shower that's going
in the corner and the toilet here sink and then radiator which is quite different to how it was
because the shower was along here and the bath was along the back and the toilet was in there
so it's had a re-jig Ava come on they thought they might be able to get it done before the
end of the week but I mean it's Thursday today I don't think that's gonna happen I'll show you
the one upstairs though which is very nearly done there we go looks amazing doesn't it so so cool
there's still a few little bits to to sort but I love this tile
all right come on dogs the builders have just arrived they're on the driveway I'm
like oh my gosh what if they're in the house and they've heard me say they're not here yet
I think they're eating in the van it's fine they didn't hear me basically it's boxes like this that
I've started unpacking and then I've just given up because it's just like eye drops ear drops
Vaseline Vapor Rub uh a mug that you know I've got too many so I'm not going to unbox that my goggles
loads of cables and chargers antibiotics it's like I need to find homes for them all I've just had a
call from a mortgage broker that I've been talking to he was like any update and I was like no
there's no update there it seems like this house it's been through probate which means someone died
you know whilst owning the house and um they're having to sort out the will and everything and
that can take months let me pop this here however my impression was that it had already gone through
probate because they've been on the market for ages they said it sold twice previously and both
times have fallen through I maybe should have asked more questions but I was like okay cool
obviously it's ready to go now and like it's been through probate cool however the estate agent has
hinted to me well he's told me that their owners are a bit of a nightmare they won't talk to him
personally because he did something like minor to offend them which he told me about and I was
like that's ridiculous that they won't talk to you because of that so they're a bit Petty and
I imagine he's told me that they're a group of they're the kids of the mum who owns the house
I don't know how old they are they're probably like 40s and 50s I imagine they're old kids he
told me that that it's more than one person who now owns the house after the will has been sorted
and they're in disagreement about what to do with the house so I imagine there are some some kids
that want to sell some that don't some that want a really high price and some that are just you
know I think it's it's one of these situations so my mum was then like I think you need to be
careful because it's fallen through twice before and you don't want them to mess you around like
accept your offer you know go through the whole legal process and then right at the end pull out
and now you've wasted some money on it you know on paying for the legal fees and stuff and I was like
yeah maybe and actually that is what the mortgage advisor said he was like oh I would avoid he was
like leave your offer there but definitely go and view other properties it was like it's happened
many a time before where like you your offer gets accepted you go through the whole process
and then right at the last minute like with weeks to go they pull out and uh and then you've
spent a few thousand pounds on legal fees and solicitors and all those things so yeah now it's
kind of made my mind I I loved that house so much and I will keep my offer there for the time being
but yeah it's made me a bit wary and I'm like maybe I should book some other viewing some other
properties so that is a little update anyway I've managed to clear a whole box so that can now go
in the garage it's progress right guys it's been a few hours I've done a little bit of work I've been
uploading John and Leah episodes of our vodcast on to audio platforms so I've been uploading them
they're going to be on Spotify on Apple music or apple podcast Amazon music all of those things me
and the King were putting together a list of jobs yesterday and this this afternoon Keegan was like
what was that one job that we thought to add I've remembered what that job is kinsugi the incense
tray wasn't it so this has broken but we ordered a contugi set where you repair broken pottery with
gold no but it's like gold hey guys it's Saturday pardon me oh let me mute YouTube I am actually
sitting down to do a Harry Potter jigsaw we bought four Harry Potter jigsaws uh a few weeks ago and
um we also bought a a jigsaw holder thingy so you can do it on that and Fold It Away Keegan has just
taken Taylor to drama class so they'll probably be back in about an hour because it's currently
gone half five so I thought I might switch the TV on do a jigsaw puzzle Fletcher's upstairs playing
the Playstation or Xbox or something um so I think I might just start a jigsaw by myself and
watch TV we're gonna have a takeaway tonight and then tomorrow I'm driving back to London because
Keegan has his very first game of the season I'll explain it all to you tomorrow but yeah I'll be
going back to London we're staying overnight in a hotel but I will be going seeing Lucy and I will
be going back to my house to pick up some last final bits so yeah Ava's just next to me aren't
you you've had a lovely walk today Keegan's friend Anthony and Peter came over today and their friend
Toby as well I guess all three of those people are becoming my friends too but uh yeah I've met them
all before and they're all lovely I love them so much so yeah we had a lovely walk with the kids
and the dogs and um Ava is absolutely pooped now aren't you yeah good girl she's booked in for a
dog groom next week um which is good because she is very scraggly anyway let's crack on with this
puzzle which one should I do I think I'm gonna do this one I mean do it as if I'm going to complete
it in one sitting I'm not okay so the not so helpful thing is there's three puzzles and they
come in three nondescript bags and they haven't got anything written on them to say which puzzle
they are so that's helpful it's gonna have to be a lucky dip right I did forget to finish that Vlog
