hey everyone welcome back to my channel so you're right this isn't a Florida video I
just sat down to edit and I in my mind thought I have maybe three or four Florida videos left
and I started editing and about five minutes into editing the footage the
next clip was me going hey guys I'm back in England and I was like what
what so I'm trying to Rack my brain and I'm like I swear I filmed more than that and then I'm like
well maybe I didn't because I knew that I didn't film as much as I'd initially planned to initially
I was like I'm gonna film like 14 videos and then when I was there I was like no I actually want a
holiday I want to rest and he goes like yeah don't Vlog all the time just rest so I was aware that
I I stopped vlogging at you know towards the final days but not that soon so yeah I mean I
don't regret it I'm glad I had a little break in a holiday because that was never the goal was to
go and film videos in Florida it just you know it just come as a second nature to me I like picking
up the camera and filming so anyway so I do have five minutes of footage from when we went on a
bike ride and we met Keegan's friend and his daughter for lunch so I'll show you that but
yeah it's not very much and I don't think it's that interesting but I'll I'll show you hi guys
um today we're going to be um to draw and and Dad have gone on a walk I think I've only gone
to the gym so I'm taking over it's my channel on so I'm going to be showing you everything
we've come to celebration today for a bike ride which is one of my favorite things to
do uh the weather's quite nice as well it's a bit blue sky but a little bit cloudy so it's
not too hot which is good I'm hoping we'll see some alligators because the kids have
only seen one so far one tiny baby one I would like us to see a bigger alligator
so I'm hoping to see one you're all right babe so you just fall off the pavement yes
keep checking every Lake by you know not just the water but the banks where they somebody
haven't seen any yet but these houses these are Big these aren't even the biggest celebration
that's on Eastman Drive or east London Terrace or something these are probably the second biggest
ridiculous well if you've seen one guys here we go this one's a bit bigger than the one we saw yeah
yeah the kids are thirsty so stop for a drink I think we're about 20 minutes away from the town
um and then we're meeting Keegan's friend for lunch and I don't know where we're going to
eat in celebration I've eaten I think every in every restaurant
in celebration and they're all pretty good so yeah we'll see
foreign
finish the bike ride I couldn't film much on the bike ride because I was holding a drink and the
bike itself a margarita no it was a diet cake but we managed to see one alligator we haven't
seen any on the main Lake yet which is sad but um we might do before we leave I once saw an
alligator on these Banks here eating a tortoise and the Tortoise was flying flailing around and
you heard it crunched through its shell which wasn't very nice but nature the lady was saying
that the tortoise is a egg laying season so I said we might see him burying their eggs in
the sand yeah she was telling us how the cross coming hunt them down yeah it's sad nature it's
cruel isn't it well the survival of the fittest yeah which is why we've survived over centuries
Oh I thought you meant I was individually yes that's why I survived um but we're just off for
lunch now with Keegan's friend I'm starving we haven't had breakfast today I think we're
all hungry yeah yeah I thought Taylor was going to pass out on that bike ride I think she might
all right we've all got ice creams I've gone for a caramel pretzel twist just to be different
this is my favorite house guys
so I found these in warm up chocolate coffee beans they're expensive but so good three flavors just
a pack of coffee beans I'm addicted why are they so good hello everyone as you can see
I'm back home we arrived we landed from Florida yesterday oh let me see if I oh
Fletcher can't pick up the cameras to try and Vlog while we were away and like he was like oh there's
something on the lens and then got his thumb all on my lens I was like no you should never touch
lens with your finger that would just make it worse anyway we're back we landed yesterday at
about half past noon that's not a time uh half past 12 in the afternoon and we finally arrived
back here after dropping the kids off and it was a three and a half hour drive four with a break
so we didn't get back here until gone 5 p.m we we had we had visions of waking up early this morning
at like 6 a.m cracking on with you know when you get that motivation after holiday you're like I'm
gonna be on it everything's gonna be great well we didn't get out of bed until half ten so but
we needed it because we feel very chat like I feel very awake now though and it is currently
12 30. so we're gonna have lunch we're actually food prepped last night I was really proud of
us last night because we got back we unpacked three suitcases uh because we commented one of
the kids suitcases put all their stuff in one so we had because we bought quite a lot of stuff out
there so unpacked all three suitcases the house is nice and clean it's a cleaner a bin while
we're away and then we food prepped for this week for our lunches so I'm about to show you that and
we have a recipe box arriving as well which is very exciting but yeah we're gonna have lunch
now probably head to the gym Amber Keegan's sister is arriving for a work thing with Keegan over the
next couple of days and she's bringing the dogs with her so the dogs are returning I've already
got their bowls out ready which I will show you over here their bowls are ready and waiting which
is so cute I just need to get that water bottle out and it is so sunny in England at the moment
since we've been away it's been apparently been like sunny in 20 25 degrees every day and it's
still lovely weather so that is really good I've been watering all my plants um and they have now
perked up notably they were looking very flat when I arrived but anyway due to our time in Florida
um I knew that having spent lots of time in Florida my favorite thing is a Cobb salad and
I know it's not necessarily a Floridian thing but I only tend to have them in Florida I just love
them so much Keegan has now been addicted to them so he decided that why not for our lunches do a
Cobb salad so last night we cooked chicken breast and some bacon uh boiled some eggs and chopped
them up that is blue cheese Stilton and then we've got our leaves we've got cucumber carrot and onion
let me know down in the comments if you're a Cobb salad connoisseur and if we're missing
anything I feel like we're missing tomatoes and we're missing maybe radishes radishes would be
nice I think the joy of a chopped salad or a Cobb salad is you can put in anything you want
um but yeah looking forward to that we're going to have lunch now and we've got some
happy healthy homo work to do so we're gonna have basically a lunch meeting down here
um to discuss the next steps because whilst we were away the last episode of happy healthy homo
season one went out and we're now planning for season two and there's gonna be a big Rebrand
there's going to be more content coming not just one episode per week and now it's at the stage
where we like we've registered as a company a limited company me if you're self-employed
you'll understand that lingo if not it's don't worry it's not necessary for you to understand
but we've set up as a company now need to set up a bank account because it started to earn money so
which is really really good because it means that it will pay for itself I mean we're not earning a
lot but it's covering the studio costs which is really really good so we just need to make sure
everything's above board and by the law so we need to set up a business banking account so that all
the money can be paid into that um but yeah just some boring stuff really guys and getting back
on track getting back on track with brands that I'm working with I've got some invoices to send
my manager as I've arrived back from holiday my social media manager she's gone on holiday once
she's back I think I might arrange to go and meet them in person Lauren and Bex are their
names so I might go and meet them in person because I've not met them yet I've spoke to
them via Zoom but that's it mainly today is just getting on top of things and I cannot wait to
see the dogs oh and I need to sort out this I got a speeding ticket I was on a Motorway on a
Motorway there's 70 miles an hour I didn't see in time that it was going down to 40 miles per hour
um and so it caught me going through the camera at 44 in a 40. even though the motorway was empty not
to make excuses I should you know 44 is above the speed limit because it was 40 for that Motorway
um however normally motorways is 70. it was like 11 half 11 at night it was at 23.27 and
the motor was empty and I did get my speed down but just not quite under 40. I got to
44 so that's annoying so I've got to book a speed awareness course here we go so I've done all the
salady bits Keegan's now chopping the bacon on we just need to do the chicken and the Stilton and
that's our very own homemade Cobb salad look at that oh my gosh it's like we're in Florida still
that was such a good salad guys um I I'm just tidying up but it's 106 and there's a
few properties on this auction website that have gone live for auction at one o'clock so I'm six
minutes late but they'll be for auction for the next few days um and I just want to keep a track
of it I'm just having a look and just uh seeing what they actually end up going for just as part
of my research so as an update for that because I know that I took you on the journey with me
back in January and February of proxy buying an investment property up north here um but it's
something I've been looking into for years and uh it's something that I'm ready to pounce as soon as
there's a viable property but here are a few this property is up for auction at the moment today
um oh I thought it said bidding opens on the 12th oh not this one oh wow so this one started for uh
I think 5 or something so I'm just interested to see what this goes for currently it's at 14 000
pounds should I just place the bid just to let's do it oh okay someone else's place to reserve So
I placed a bid there for fifteen thousand pounds got rejected because someone's put a reserve in
and it's now at 16 000. I'm just doing this I don't actually think I want this house
um I know that this house is gonna go for in the region of 70k and above so obviously
I didn't just willy-nilly go oh fifteen thousand pounds I I know it's gonna go for a lot more than
that but I'm just watching this because I just want to see I've been authorized to bid on this
website you have to like put in all your details and you have to get approved by the auctioneer
so I've all been approved and everything but yeah I just want to see because I think buying
houses at auction is a really good way to get a knock down price sometimes however it comes
with its own risks like lots of the times the auctioned properties are in a really bad state
or there's uh weird things in the contract like I don't know in the Deeds of the house or whatever
so you have to be careful the property Hunt is still going on and I'm ready to buy as soon as
I find a place it's just very hard at the moment because the mortgage rates are really high which
isn't a reason not to invest like I'm still going to invest um even though the mortgage
rates are a lot higher um but it just means you need to be careful with the deals making sure the
deals actually work like by the time you work out the rental value and things like that because I'm
not buying to flip properties although I might do I don't know the plan at the moment is to buy it
it's called brr and some people add an extra R which is buy refurbish refinance and rent
um so yeah that is what I want to do I want to buy a house refurbish it refinance it get a new
mortgage deal on the higher value and then rent it out so that is the goal you guys will know as
soon as I have um done it because I'll Vlog the whole thing but um yeah at the moment still no
news right back from the gym and look who's here come on dogs come here please uh Ava yes good girl
Alicia take your color off there you go come here oh we've had a a reunion off camera haven't we oh
I've missed you so much yeah I have I missed you I missed you I had nightmares about Ava when I was
away that she I had one dream where she her pores were all swollen her face was swollen
her eyeballs were gouged out and I was like Ava what's wrong and I like texted Amber to be like
it's over okay Champion's obviously fine as well but yeah we've been reunited we've got a grocery
shop delivered yesterday I think as I told you but there are a few bits we forgot to do so after
the gym we just called in at the supermarket so we're a bit late back and by the time we were back
Amber was here with the dogs oh and he's still meeting a fan she's your sister we don't do that
boy no then stop Amber and Keegan have gone for a walk to have a business meeting because Amber
works for Keegan um and I'm gonna go for a walk now as well the dogs have already been walked by
Amber earlier today so I'll let them relax relax and I'm gonna go for a walk and catch up on my
voice notes because I like to descend and receive voice notes while I'm on a walk don't know why I
like to be moving it's the next day guys and I'm actually just catching this auction you know the
one yesterday a place to bid for 15 000 I said it would go for tonight between 60 or 70. um
there's 10 seconds left on this auction and it's currently at 63 so let's see if it stays that way
yeah I think it is it's sold for 63. so that is just a good bit of research for me just
to see you know it started at started at 10 000 uh and it went for 63. not all of them
have that big jump there was another one I was watching over here which started at 60
000 opening bids um and it's over 74. so only 14 000 more than what is listed for so it doesn't
always go that way sometimes they price them extra low just to get more interest I suppose and most
of them have reserves on them yeah good bit of research there my first auction that I've sort of
attended the thing you have to be really careful is there's a legal pack which I click on and it's
got all the different paperwork that the owner has provided but with these auctions there's lots of
extra fees uh buyers premiums like sometimes you have to pay the seller solicitors fees like all
these things so usually like some of these ones I looked at there was an extra about six seven
thousand Pounds you had to pay in fees so you have to factor that in when you buy an auction
I don't know whether buying is the right thing for me a lot especially some of these properties
that I mean the first one I showed you didn't need any work doing necessarily um so be easy to get a
mortgage on that another one I was looking at was in really bad condition so I'd have to get like a
bridging loan rather than a loan from A bank a bank wouldn't loan me sort of a normal mortgage
um so I'd have to get a temporary loan to do that and I don't really want to do that for my first
one at least I'd like to keep it as low risk as possible because there's no rush so I'm just gonna
take it slow but anyway just thought I'd update you with that right guys this is their first walk
back and they were actually very excited normally Ava's very excited and Fenn is not that bothered
and you have to force Fenn to go for a walk he was right by the front door he was shaking with
excitement I'm actually wearing Keegan's jacket which is very large on me it's like a dressing
gown because I couldn't find a hoodie and that is the end of the Vlog guys I can't believe I've
been back from Florida for nearly a month now like it's crazy but I am glad because I've been filming
a lot recently over the last month and my memory card is pretty much full and I've never had a full
memory card in my life because this memory card is huge so I don't know how I've managed to fill
it to give you a taster of what's to come I've filmed sort of a day out in Leeds I have filmed
a redecorating video because Keegan and I have done some decorating in our bedroom and we're
about to start work on our bathroom we're going to rip out the bathroom and put a new one in the new
bathroom gets delivered tomorrow I've just gotten back from our Bayer there's some Spanish Marbella
