hello and welcome back so today's the day guys if you've been following my videos over the last
few days then you'll know that I've moved up to Yorkshire I've moved in with Keegan it's
all going very well so far I'm finding myself settling into life up here more and more which
is good however lots of my stuff is just dumped in the spare bedroom which will double as you
know mainly be spare bedroom Vibes but I'll have like my little desk here but yeah I've still got
to unpack a whole load of things and it needs to be done today really I want to get it done
today I just feel a little bit overwhelmed don't know where to start but from what I've read this
morning I read something that said if you've got a job to do that you keep procrastinating on just do
five minutes of it because the chances are you'll end up completing it and just doing the whole
thing so I'm in my head I'm just going I'm gonna tidy for five minutes but hopefully I'll be up
here for a while sorting where do I start I've got my YouTube plaque this is the one for the Joel and
Leah Channel um I can't wait to get my own one for this Channel and have two one here one here I'll
probably put them up on the wall at some stage but I'll just leave that there oh I know a good
first job actually open up these hangers and uh that then gives me some things to hang clothes on
if you watched yesterday's video you'll remember me and Keegan were talking about his Abercrombie
bottles there he is you can see the photo on the back so I've got two of those lovely guys I have
gotten so distracted today because just after I started tidying basically a new project that Leo
and I are working on which you guys will see very soon maybe even as soon as tonight I'm not sure
basically our editor got back to us with something that we've been working on so I had to proof watch
that I've been going back and forth with Leah about what we're doing now and you know all the
planning behind that channel um plus then I had a call from a mortgage advisor another mortgage
advisor I've spoken to three now I was on the phone for a good half an hour and I'm still
like I want to put an offer in on the property I saw yesterday and I told the estate agent I would
um today but there's still some things to sort out with my company and the structuring of it really
boring stuff like legally that has to be done um something to do with company because I'm buying it
through my company but because my company is like an entertainment company the mortgage advisor is
saying I need a separate company a new company just to do with property I can't do it through
the same company whereas my accountant is saying something slightly different whether like we will
like adapt this company and change it into sort of to like an offshoot and then you can do it through
that so the mortgage advisor and my accountant are at odds with each other and I'm like I don't
know what to do all I want to do is put an offer on this house someone tell me can I do that yet
so anyway sorting out all that boring stuff plus me and Keegan went for a walk here's some footage
we've just come for a little dog walk in the middle of the day Keegan is in a very fun outfit
gloves he was wearing a hat oh it Hood up a massive coat and shorts it was it's
practical meets spot it meets north of England welcome to the north everyone
foreign
and then I'm trying to sort out other things for example the girl that's moving into my room Lucy
messaged to say she wants to she has a car and she wants to park there but in London you can
only have two cars per household or two permits per household so I've had to go and be in touch
with the council in London to cancel my permit and hopefully get a refund on some of it and there's
just loads more stuff like that to do guys I've got to change doctors change dentists change Ava's
vets there's a whole list of things which because I've been so busy at the start of this week with
filming YouTube videos and doing property viewings and getting my models removed and
all those sorts of things all of the organization stuff has taken a back seat so I really need to
get organized today and tomorrow but I'm like oh already most of the day is gone this is
the thing guys when you spin like a hundred plates I'm like what on Earth do I focus on
I think whilst I'm waiting for a reply from my accountant I will forget about the property forget
about that I'm waiting for reply from Leah as well so I'll forget about John Lear stuff
for the moment I think I'll crack on with doing some more tidying until one of those people get
back to me and then I can do that I mean it's probably not the best way to work I've heard
that the best way to work is to like knuckle down really focus on one task for like an hour but in
my life I was gonna say my line of work but in my life in general I just have plates spinning
everywhere even mum and dad when I was talking to them about the property they'll like the thing is
you have so many plates spinning as long as you're ready to like add property to it then fine but
um they also know I like keeping busy and I like the craziness
all right guys so this big box here is my office chair that I bought now I really didn't know what
to go for guys whether to go for like a really nice bougie office chair or to go for like a
comfortable one or an ergonomic one or like a gaming one and basically I've gone for quite a
big this might be too big guys um a gaming chair I don't know why it just looked very comfy and very
nice I mean it's designed for gamers people who play video games for hours every day so I'm like
it's going to be very comfortable and it looks quite cool but I'm not a gamer and I probably
only sit on the chair for like an hour a day because I can't sit still but we'll see taking me
a while and I'm still not done I'm just trying to attach the back rest to it I've actually never put
together an office chair before but it's actually very simple but so far I know it's not together
yet but I'm like I really like it I really like it so that's good news because it was lemon expensive
it was just under 300 pounds I think it's like two 75 or something guys it is done I mean it'll
be nice for you guys to see it when the room is tidy but I love it it's like a black kind of not
even leather but not quite velvet just I don't know it's a very nice material they did different
colors it's very comfortable I can lean it all the way back so I'm basically lying down which is cool
and that comes back up obviously it can go up and down and it can do other things but to be honest
I'm not going to use it it's got lumbar support so that this nozzle on the side if I twist it
um I can feel this pumping up and supporting my lumbar a bit and then equally if I twist it the
other way it pumps down very cool anyway time to keep tidying that took long enough another
box which is great that was under the desk chair um so I'm making progress but I'm like oh my gosh
a lay fantastic when am I going to use that oh some new oven gloves which is great love giraffes
basically what happened me and Lucy went to Asda when we first moved in and we bought this exact
set of tea towels and oven glove and then that Christmas or my birthday mum didn't realize that
we had this and went to Asda and bought these for me for my birthday and I was like we already have
these That's How well my mum knows me so it's nice because me and Lucy never used them so they're
freshly here this is my sponsor child igaran as uh she lives in Rwanda and um I sponsor her send
her money every month I've been sponsoring her for years now um that's what the charity called
compassion so a little shout out to them recommend them if you are looking to do something charitable
more tea towels an apron a Great British Bake Off apron look how cool this is this an ex actually
bought me bought this for me so I think it's one of the only things remaining from an ex but
I absolutely love it so I couldn't get rid of it Star Baker if you know you know if you watch Great
British Bake Off you'll understand that I'm done for the day it is now 20 to five so I've done a
good couple of hours of sorting out and putting my chair together so it does look a little bit tidier
lots of these like all of those boxes are empty yeah most of them closed captioning not available
right so firstly this is the book I just finished reading over the festive period I read it over
December it's called merrily ever after and I really recommend it not for this time of
year but if you want a Christmas book for you know later this year I really really recommend
that it's really good I I can't say it without giving too much away but basically it's about
two reuniting sisters it's very good so the one that I'm I'm sort of Dipping into a few books at
the moment but in terms of self-help I'll go with non-fiction first I bought a whole bunch of them
as were recommended to me by the internet and so hopefully they're good this is the one I'm reading
at the moment which is how to stop worrying and start living I'm only that far in but I basically
have taken a pencil to it and I'm underlining all these lines because there's so much wisdom in this
book and as someone who worries along this is really helping so for example the technique
at the moment that I'm reading in this book is about compartmentalizing and living in day type
containers so literally going can I get through today forget about tomorrow and the rest of the
year can I get through today yes I can that's what I'm learning but there's loads of other
tips and techniques so I'm loving this I'm going to read some more of that today I bought this one
as well the courage to be disliked obviously being on the internet and there's trolls and people like
that I think I've realized I am a people pleaser and it really annoys me when people completely
misunderstand situations completely misjudge me as a person and I'm like why don't you like me like
everything you're saying about me is just not true it's just not true and I'm learning to go actually
you can think what you like because it literally does not affect me in any way and Just Having
the courage to be disliked so I can't give you a review of that but that is what I'm going to read
how to talk to anyone again I don't I wouldn't say I've got social anxiety at all I am quite
a confident person externally but internally in social situations I do go oh my gosh oh my gosh
oh my gosh what am I gonna say and then physically you know when I've told people about that they're
like really you come across as if you like are so confident which I'm glad about but I just thought
this might help me to not have the internal Panic this one's Creed change Think and Grow Rich so
again it's such a cringy one but apparently it's a very popular book it says it's over 15 million
copies sold worldwide and it's all about changing your attitude to money so I read Rich Dad Poor
Dad a few years ago which is also a staple of like if you want to get good with finance and learning
about Investments and assets the difference between asset and liability just want to get
financially like on it this year this one I'm really looking forward to you can't quite see
the title because it's embossed it's called quiet and it's basically about the power of introverts
and about how society makes you think that if you're an extrovert you're successful success
equals extra equal success and actually this is saying that that's not true most of the most
successful people are introverts and the power of being an introvert and the power of being quiet is
big large whatever mum and dad bought me this for Christmas just one thing and it's one that
you can sort of dip into so when you open up the pages it's it's set out like this it's very easy
to read just one thing breakfast drink coffee it will tell you the benefits of drinking a cup of
coffee every day get some sun all these things which sound really basic but it goes into the
science behind it and why you need it so uh that is gonna basically be living next to my bedside
table so I can dip in and out of it this is the one that people went to recommendations for when
I told you guys I was feeling anxious and instead of going back to therapy I'm gonna read the book
that my therapist recommended and try and work on it by myself and then see if I still need
therapy because I haven't read this yet this is the book she recommended mindfulness a practical
guide for finding peace in a frantic World a couple more only two more firstly I've had this
book for ages unconditional it's about gays and Christians it says rescuing the Gospel from the
gays versus Christians debate it's basically encouraging Christians to practice what they
preach which is loving people unconditionally me and going through like mistranslations and
things in the Bible which makes Christians think that being gay is wrong when it's not wrong so
I think that that's going to be a really helpful one for me to read just because like I I already
believe all that but I don't necessarily have the words and the arguments behind it to argue
my point or we shouldn't say argue to State my point so I just want to sort of wise up with that
and then this one that I bought from a charity shop you might remember from a vlogvember vlog
stop doing that and self-sabotage and demand your life back so again haven't read it I'm going to
read it this year and I'm excited for that now I might have more than this but this is the fix
these the fiction books that I want to read this year this is the one that I just started so it's
called part of the family and literally I'm like a few pages in because I started it like two days
ago and it's it's a thriller lots of the books I like to read are Thrillers but it just says
someone is watching someone she thought she could trust someone determined to make her pay the next
one is the missing girl and it's basically about a girl who lost her sister when she was younger
and then you know 30 years later she's like sort of investigating it and she thinks her sister
hasn't died or something like that two more Taylor Jenkins reads books because my favorite book of
last year was the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo it was so good I don't know if that's to do with the
story or whether it's to do with Taylor Jenkins read so I'm gonna give two more of her books a
go two more guys firstly the couple at the table again another Thriller it basically says you're on
your honeymoon at an exclusive Resort and you'll receive a note of warning saying Beware of the
couple at the table next to yours and there are five other couples around so it's sort of like
solving a mystery and then the final one is this which is the locked room which I believe my mum
bought but didn't read so I've I've taken it and it's something to do with kovid isn't it yeah so
it says Ruth and Nelson are on the hunt for a murderer when covid-19 rears its ugly head but
can they find the killer despite the lockdown I'm really excited to read that and like read a bit of
fiction but to do with covid like I don't know I just think it adds a bit more realism doesn't it
but anyway these are literally all the books that I want to read this year it's a big task
but I believe I'm gonna do it anyway I hope you enjoyed that guys come back tomorrow for another
video I'm going to the Harry Potter studio tour tomorrow which I'm so excited about so you'll
see that Vlog on Sunday but yeah also just to let you know that Joe and Leah are back we've
