Hello everybody!
It has been what feels like perhaps, an entire lifetime
Uh -
Since I sat down-
Stood up
And just talked to you
On this channel
'Cause usually I do all the talking over my second channel
But not all of you know about it, not all of you see those videos
So I thought why don't we just- let's just- let's just chat
Let's- let's update you all on, uh, on what's been happening
Or, why things have not been happening (laughs)
First of of!-
Let's do that again
Allow me to show you, (gasps)
Isn't it so pret- Basically, I moved in to this house last summer
And ever since then this living room has just been, like, the cheapest Ikea furniture
Now I'm not about to shit all over Ikea, ok? I love Ikea, it's cheap it's affordable
I can take furniture home without having to wait for it, you know whatever, hashtag spon hashtag ad
Whatever, right? Um, but you know ever since I was 22, and I first moved out of my dad's house
I just furnished all of my places with Ikea furniture, um, because it was cheap and cheerful
But it never really felt like I'd moved in
You know, it was super, like, student living
But now, it's- it's fin- it's been a year!
But I have finally ordered, like decent furniture
And the real kicker of this angle is that you can't actually see any of it
Apart from the bookshelf which looks amazing!
But the picture and sofa and pots and- they're Ikea but shh
I've been spending the last, like, 3 or 4 days just completely revamping this room
Because I never used to spend any time in here, like at all
I would always avoid being in the living room because it was so miserable
And all I had in it was- was a TV and a really really cheap Ikea coffee table
And it just wasn't inviting, wasn't warm and I didn't want to be in it
So um, now I do!
And uh, I will give you the tour in just a second in fact-
I will do it on my new vlogging camera!
Emma finally got the G7 X thing, so I'm not promising weekly vlogs back, but
I might start doing, uh, vlogs of my days if they're exciting
Over on my second channel, so if you do like my weekly vlogs then head on over to Vloggery
And there might be more in the future
I've recently been having one of those crises where I need to tidy and clear out my entire house
In order to have a tidy mind, you feel that? Like, clean house clean mind kind of thing
I'm getting better, I'm feeling better
Especially this room now, you know, I finally have a little editing station over there, it's great
It's great!
But yeah recently, uh, I haven't really felt motivated to make videos
It's nothing on you guys, I- I- if you follow me for a while you know I go through these phases
Where I just- I just can't make videos!
And I'm so grateful that I'm in a position where-
I have a job where if my mental health is not doing great, I can take a break
And there are so many people- billions of people in the world who can't do that
And don't think for a second that I haven't been there myself, and also that I am not grateful for this oppurtinity
So,
I really appreciate you guys sticking with me when I don't upload all that often, which brings me onto my next topic
Yeah we need to talk about this, uh big time,
All of you guys will be aware that I've been uploading a series called 'Demma's Vlog Log'
Since like really late last year, or was it the beginning of this year?
I don't know, time is- time is just escaping me recently!
It was weekly, and then it switched to every 2 weeks, but,
There's gonna be a surge of these videos going up on my channel in the next few weeks
So you're going to be getting some notifications, there's gonna be loads of 'Demma' in your sub box
Over the next like 2/3/4 weeks, I don't know how many episodes are left
Um, basically
Dan and I have decided to speed up the series
It was mostly my idea I- I ran it past Dan and he completely understood
Uh, the series is complete, uh, we filmed every video a couple months ago
It's- it's all finished, um we did it for that many episodes and a lot of them were kinda rubbish
And that's why we spread it out to every 2 weeks, but now I'm thinking
I- I- I would like my channel back
In a way, you know, this running series not everyone's been enjoying it
And um, I'll be the first to admit that some of the episodes, they're getting pretty rubbish, you know
We know it, you know it and in the interest of everyone who does watch the series-
It's kind of a win win, really you know, you're getting more 'Demma' sooner
But those of you who don't watch it, once the series is done in the next few weeks
Then uh, then it will be out the way
And there will be no more uploads um, of that series, it will be finished
And speaking of that, once the series is finished um, there's not gonna be any more 'Demma' on this channel
Uh I'm still very close friends with Dan and I love Dan to pieces, I'm still going to be visiting him
We are going to be filming some 'Demma plays' etc
But from now on, after this series is finished, all 'Demma' all Dan is gonna be on Dan's channel
Um because I know some of you guys are subscribed to me just to watch the Dan videos
And that's something that, admittedly it bothers me more than it should
Um but the way I see it now is after this series is done, you don't have any reason to be subscribed to me
And that will help you and help me, you know,
So you may kindly, and with love and respect
But obviously, if you enjoy Dan's videos and my videos and the 'Demma' videos then you lose nothing
You get to stay subscribed to whatever
You know, there will still be 'Demma' videos they just won't be on this channel anymore
So um, I hope this clears things up a little bit, so please stick with me, uh
Through the next few weeks when you're gonna get new Demma like every 2/3 days
I know it's gonna be frustrating for you guys who don't watch it, you're gonna see it in your sub box
And think oh my god stop!
But please bear with me, don't leave me!
(Laughs)
For these next few weeks
And uh, things will be back to normal soon, hopefully
My friend John has just come back from New Zealand, uh he was out there for like
2 or 3 weeks so we haven't been able to film any content together
And also I've been busy being a mess!
We're going to be filming some stuff next week, um I do have some videos planned for this channel
I do have some stuff in the pipeline
It's all in here, I know what I'm doing
Here are some clues for 2 videos that I'm working on
(Pop sound x2)
There you go
The next couple months of my life are gonna be extremely hectic
Uh first off I'm performing at Summer in the City, I'm headlining the Saturday
Which I'm so excited about, I haven't- I don't think I've ever headlined the Saturday
Ooh maybe I'm wrong
I don't think I have, I headlined the Sunday last year, I closed out the event which was amazing
But I really wanted to do the Saturday this year 'cause I know loads of you guys missed it last year
Because you came on the Saturday and not the Sunday, so this way uh- it's gonna be wonderful
Uh, performing with my new band who I love so much who were on tour with me
Uh reunited with them and it's gonna be great
I can't wait to meet all of you
And then, and then! Uh, I have all of the book stuff!
Now
I'm not gonna- I'm not gonna bore you through this video, about my book ok
I'm gonna make a whole separate video where I can bore you about my book
But
Book's coming out September 7th, um, a few weeks before that I've gotta start doing press for it
You know like interviews and all that
So I'll be all over the place, then I have the book tour!
Which you guys can buy tickets for in the link below
London has already sold out, Manchester is about to sell out
Um there's uh, Scotland one is nearly sold out, it's-, yeah if you're thinking of coming along
It's like £14.99 or £17.99 for some of the dates but you get a free book
And I will sign it and I'll be doing Q&A's and talks etc it's gonna be super fun and I can't wait to meet you there
If you're coming
So
Links down below for that and maybe then after the book is out, maybe I get to relax a little bit
Because I have been- hello person walking past my window
It's been all go this year you know tours and uh book
It's been a hectic year and actually, towards the end of the year there's some more things
happening
Maybe...
Europe
I'm not telling you that though! That's a thing I can't tell you about 'cause it may not happen so shut up
Shh
Today actually marks an entire year since I dyed my hair a natural colour and I've had it natural colours
Black, brown like really dark brown for a year now and my hair has definitely grown a little bit
Although when it was yellow it was here, so that's what it's grown in a year!
I told you my hair grows very slowly
I was not lying about that
I've had it trimmed like a couple of times but- but that's pathetic!
That's truly pathetic!
I think really that's all the updates I have for you right now, oh
I'm getting my hair slightly lightened at the end of the month that's it
Uh (laughs) Oh no it's not I have another update, it's not an update though it's a work in progress
It's a thing that might happen
I'm really talking with my hands today
The room that I have been using as an office/vlogging setup thing, it's a complete mess
Right now because uh, I've been busy turning everything upside down
And I had to bring most of the stuff from my office down here to make this room pretty
Um so that room is completely barren right now
But
I am thinking of how I could turn it into something different for a different channel
Look what I'm trying to say is I'm working through a way of trying to revamp my gaming channel
Might not happen though!
It would talk a lot of work
And a lot of prep and a lot of you know, redesigning of a set etc
I don't even have a set anymore the nice one I had, it's all gone
It's all gone!
This is the office right now
By the way
Yeah..
Hey what's that? That's my EP Magnetised, that you can listen to on Spotify right now
Ok I'll stop
That was my filming setup by the way, but, I gotta change that!
I gotta change it!
What's that on the floor? Oh yeah it's my plaque I got
Ohhh yeah
Wow that's a big fucking zoom
I've been toying with this idea in my head of perhaps aiming my gaming channel
More towards people my sister's age
Umm
My neighbour is just standing outside my house, pretty much just staring at me
Ooh don't do that to me, I know it's weird technology is a thing!
I've been thinking of
Aiming the gaming channel towards people my sister's age because I didn't realise how much
10 Year old girls love video games
Uh like Roblox, Minecraft and Barbie games etc
And I know that that's not gonna be a decision that is popular with all of you
I completely understand that I acknowledge it
And I wouldn't be mad at anyone going "Oh this is not my style, I'm gonna unsubscribe"
But I don't know, I just really miss my gaming channel but the reason I stopped it in the first place
was because it was so much work, so no promises
on any of that
But if I do bring it back it will be very different to the way it was before
So
It's just a case of whether I can handle having 3 channels again, really
Yeah it's gonna take a lot of work if I decide to do it
But I'll update you on that
If it happens!
Oh, before I go
I will show you my living room
'Cause I'm very very proud of my living room ok
I will give you a tour
So as you walk through the door this is what you shall see
A plant that is...
Well you know I've had this plant for a very long time
Ok, at least a year
Jeffrey is getting sad
Very sa- Look, ok, so dying plant but behind...
dead Jeffrey, you have this...cube...thing
You know, the I- good old Ikea!
Right, a little record player that you can't see, damn it Jeffrey!
We have all of these baskets that've just got some random junk in them
We got some vinyl records
You know I don't have that many, I know
But it's building, it's building, it's getting there
Uh we have some blankets down here
We have some more flowers
Um we have a jar that's full of that potpourri stuff that I'm not gonna get out
'Cause
(Rattling sounds)
This is actually a list that one of you guys gave me, uh, of songs that I should listen to
So thank you if that was you
I'm planning on it
I just haven't got round to it yet
And over here is one of the best albums of all time
Moving on
Over here where the door is you have my brand new picture frame wall
Um
Can I pretend it's uh conceptual art
That I haven't filled the frames yet
You know if I say it's a modern take on art
I don't have to fill them
Right?
Who knew that Ikea sold loads of frames, didn't sell any prints for the size though
Well done!
Over here we have the seating area for TV, just over there
I'll show you in a second
Look ok cushions are from Ikea
Alright, where else am I gonna get cushions
This is my brand new coffee table
It's got some drawers, you know, and on the other side as well
Books, you know 'cause I'm an intellectual now
My boy Matt Santoro's book of course obviously
Steve Jobs book 'cause that is the best book ever you should read it
And bad girls throughout history which is a very very good book
If you have a nice coffee table, you have to have coffee table books
It's kind of a rule
This is a fake plant from B&Q it cost me like 10 quid
Way overpriced, B&Q
And over here we have pins that I wear on my jacket
Including this one which is my favourite pin ever
Only kids my age will remember who this is
And then over here we have my TV
Um
With 2 plants either side, we've got a lot of plants going on look
This is a healthy Jeffrey
And that's a sad Jeffrey
Ok
Got a Nintendo Switch which Nintendo were kind enough to give me
PS4, TV box thingy down there
You know, life is- life is good today
Hello!
Now over here
Is the best bookshelf of all time
Can we just look at this one
Look at how everything just-
...fits
You know I like it, it's got a little hole there but you know, every good thing has a hole
If you weren't already aware of my quite odd hobby
It is collecting books about North Korea
Um it's one of my very odd interests in the world
So now you know
Some people collect you know, doll's heads and some people fish
I don't know
I read about North Korea
I know a lot
too
Believe it or not
This is like my pride and joy
I love it so much
It's made of oak, it fits perfectly in this little alcove
It's got some plants up here, it's just- it's the best
I'm so happy with it, it makes this entire living room, I love it
For those of you who would like a little slow pan down of every book I have
And no, no they're not all in order, I did only get this yesterday so you will have to bare with me
I just wanted to put them on the shelf
Down here is an old fireplace that has been completely capped off
But this is my cute little cobwebby decorative fireplace
Um I've had this decorated like this since I moved in pretty much
It was the only part of this living room that was done
From like the get go
It's got cute little decorations going on it's all like, shut up it's Ikea!
But, oh? Oh, what's this? What's this in my alcove?
How did my Vloggery plaque get in here?
Oh, I-, you rascal!
Oh wait no no I know why you're in there
Of course
It's because I ran out of wall space to put you next to my other 4 silver ones and my gold one
I'm a dick
Anyway moving on
And over here is my brand new tiny little editing alcove
It's just- it's so cute we got flowers
A little light you know it's perfect I can just sit here, watch some TV, and just edit some stuff
and it's all-
(vigorously typing )
(Random muttering)
And over here!
...is the door
Get out
Well I hope you enjoyed the tour
Um I'm very very happy here now
This room, I'm happy being in this room now
You know being in this room, changes my mood
It makes me happy so
I just thought I'd share it with - anyway
I'm gonna go
Um
I will hopefully see you sometime late next week, no!
You will see me before that for 'Demma'
Uh there's gonna be 'Demma' every few days again, you're welcome and I'm sorry
So uh
Yes, I will see you soon
and um
As always I shall cat- why did you ruin my outro!?
Lily
Why text me now I was on such a roll
You don't wanna know what we're talking about
Alright it's wrestlers
I will see you guys very soon and as always
I shall catch you later
I've been doing that for about 3 or 4 years now
I think 4

Catch you later
(Weird sounds)
