good morning guys welcome back to my channel day three I'm gonna lose counters on stage you'll get
to like day 11 and I'll be like day what am I on anyway I'm just making myself a lemon juice I have
a lemon juice and hot water every morning this is the mug cupboard by the way which you can see all
my Starbucks mugs stacked in the corner there I mean this is a ridiculous amount of mugs no one
needs this many mugs but still I could use my Harry Potter mug but I'm gonna go for Nashville
oh the lemon juice out of that put in a little bit of cold water like that and then a little
bit of boiling water there we go so I have this every morning when I first wake up before I have
a coffee I don't fully know why it's because my mum does it and my dad um and I think my brother
Ben does it I'm not sure if Luke does it but my mum's always been like do it it's good for you
so it's just one of those things that I do also doing Vlog fember this is the day where it starts
to get confusing because currently right now I'm filming for day one I'll be editing today for day
two whilst replying to comments for day one that I posted last night so my brain is in three Vlog
mode so I'm like replying to comments from day one editing day two filming day three and almost
planning day four so my brain is like what's going on it's going to be like this now all month but
yeah thank you so much for the lovely comments on my first vlogvember by the time you see this
you'll have also seen day two Vlog members so again very confusing I'm sure you're confused
as well I also posted a members video on the day I posted day one of vlogvember thank you so much
for all of the lovely comments and support on that you guys are like friends to me and when
you leave like so not just supportive comments but comments of like your own advice and things like
that or that you have been through similar things it's like it's really comforting so thank you for
that anyway you might have seen from another Vlog just a few days ago maybe a few weeks ago that
was covered in beautiful leaves well it doesn't last long winter is truly coming I need to sort
out this Garden that is something that we need to do I need to de-weed all these weeds are growing
and I need to mow the lawn guys she is so funny she sat there because she wants to cuddle because
every morning I come down and I sit and cuddle her on the sofa you want a cuddle come on in
come on you want to sit on this sofa today you're so cute what did I do to deserve a lovely doggy
like you um yes but my coffee is in there so I can't sit down just yet okay okay okay yeah
ah you're so needy right let's open these curtains I'm just interrupting to say if you're watching
this and you're not subscribed why not just click subscribe it's free it's easy you literally just
click subscribe and that would really help me out thanks a lot I'm just about to head out guys
um to a coffee shop to do some work I was brushing my teeth and I keep on looking at our curtain Rail
and I'm like why is it so wonky I swear I didn't do it that wonky like I all Victorian houses are
a little bit wonky so I remember when we did it we either got it straight with the ceiling
or straight with the window because the window and the ceiling aren't exactly straight because
it's a Victorian house and that's what I love about it is the old houses they're quirky and
they're not like perfect I love that I was aware that we didn't get it perfect
but I was like not that wonky and then I just thought let me just take a look at the fixture
is hanging out of the wall which is the same as this hook which has caused me a blooming
nightmare as you can see we we used to have it there then I moved it and it's still falling out
the wall I think it's something to do with this side of the wall because this side is absolutely
perfect this side is completely firmly in up there is completely firmly in so I don't
think it's because I'm completely inept as a diyer because I've gotten one side correct but the other
side isn't and I remember when I was drilling through that wall it did feel different so I
I don't know what's going on there the curtain pole might fall down imminently I have no idea
how long it might last we need to get someone and I'm gonna get my dad around I think and see if he
can do something I'm just so sick and tired of this weather y'all when I first sat out of the
front door I was like oh I'm glad I've got a coat five minutes later I'm sweating I'm gonna have to
take it off and carry it all right here we go guys I've got an oat flat white a Diet Coke my laptop
my earphones and a nice view so let's do some work guys I'm gonna have a look inside
the charity shops just for a little peruse of course I've come the street to the books
Keegan loves caramel so maybe I should get him right
this this time to shop has some old books Let's go inside
this looks quite fun there's quite a few DIY books here I think I'm gonna go for this one well that
was fun do you know what I am quite pathetic because on the way down I wanted to have a look
in those shops and I don't know if anyone else does this but I walk past them like no it's too
embarrassing to go in there like oh they're gonna think that I'm just some youth who's gonna steal
things or like I don't know just make up all these excuses in my head why not to go in somewhere it's
either too embarrassing or they don't want me in there or all these weird things so after sitting
in Cafe near and doing some work I was like no Joe if you want to go in the shop go in the shop does
anyone else do that or is it literally just me because I frequently don't go into shops because
I get embarrassed unless I really need to go in so yeah I think if I need to go in to buy something
obviously I don't get that feeling but if it's just oh I just want to have a look I feel the
pressure of like you can't just look you've got to go in and buy anyway from the first shop I did
buy that self-sabotage book which was two pound fifty and it looks brand new it looks completely
untouched which I love makes me feel like I've got a bargain and then yeah in the second shop
I bought this for 4.99 inside it tells you how to put up stud walls how to do plasterboard and
drywall how to like put in new fencing in your garden and things like that literally everything
it's like a Bible of DIY stuff so I figured that would be helpful particularly for when I get my
first investment property I want to be learning how to do these things I basically want to be
the type of property investor that is really really Hands-On like I want to I know it won't
always be possible because there's some jobs I can't do but there's some people that I follow
online that do stuff and they're like basically we do everything except things that could cause
flooding or electrocution AKA they don't deal with electrics and they don't deal with plumbing
and I'm like I'd love to get to that stage where I could do everything except those things when I
do get my first investment property hopefully you know it won't be too much longer until I've saved
off enough to do that and then I can start sort of learning on the house and ripping things out
putting things in ETC but yeah that's long term I know it's a bit of an uncertain time particularly
with property at the moment but there's lots of landlords that are selling up their old properties
um because of these uncertain times and property prices are dropping so now is the time to take it
well maybe not now but very soon it will be the time to take advantage of that which I plan on
doing anyway I left home three hours ago it's time to get home and walk over oh guys it's a
few hours later guys and I've just jumped in the car I'm gonna head to the gym I have my uh dipping
belt I haven't done pull-ups for such a long time and I got to the stage oh I've got like a leaf in
my head or something I got to the stage where I was adding weight to my pull-ups um which was
really cool so I need to get back to that let's go let's try and not scratch the curb this time
if you've seen that Vlog if you know you know
um right let's go I'm in the exact same parking space as well guys the trouble about winter I
don't know if any of you have this when the Sun starts setting and I mean it sets early
in the UK much earlier than for some people in the states I know my American friends when
they would be here for the winter like when I was at University they'd be like I can't
believe it gets dark at 3 P.M and I'm like yeah that's what you get when you're this far north
um but it's not dark at 3 P.M at the moment but it will get to that stage but it starts getting dark
about 3 30 3 45 something like that and when that happens all I want to do is stay indoors I don't
want to go out I'm like it's dark therefore I need to be indoors and not do anything I can see that
the sun is just like it's just starting to set it's not setting but it's just you know gone that
bit further and I'm like oh I shouldn't be leaving that house I had a nice walk with Ava the thing is
to avoid burnout from me vlogging every day I do need to allot some time where I'm not filming or
I'm not thinking about work so I decided not to take my camera with me on the dog walk with Ava
and I came back and I watched a 20 minute YouTube video and you know what it's actually really
difficult because I caught myself during that 20 minute YouTube video about three minutes in I was
like oh let me just open another Tab and just look at this thing like a work thing and I was like no
job sit and relax and then about five minutes in I went to pick up my phone I actually picked up
my phone and I was like no put your phone down Joel just sit and watch and relax and it's it's
really hard I feel much better for it I just need to factor in time where I can relax and so do you
guys make sure you're relaxing not always just working working or picking up your phone and
scrolling also more motivational chat from me I'm really not feeling the gym again today I I find
that the more I go to the gym the more motivated I am the less I go the less motivated I am because I
haven't been going to the gym as much as I used to I now find it is really hard to get the motivation
but I realized I have to find a motivation that's bigger than it's just what I do habit really helps
by going like this so much in my routine it's like brushing my teeth every morning and every
evening it's like I go to the gym but when you're not feeling motivated I almost feel like sometimes
habit isn't enough to take you through it's like I need to find my why again and it's like actually
right now I want to lose some fat before Christmas I think Lots people are in the same boat we know
Christmas is coming for Americans they've got Thanksgiving as well it's all about food and I
want to enjoy myself and eat what I like during that period well not Thanksgiving but Christmas
so I'm like what's my why I'm like I'm here today because I want to make progress with
fat loss other days it might change and I'm like I'm here today because I want to be muscular and I
want to build muscle or some days I might be here because it's like I want to be here because I just
want to move my body or you know whatever it is today I'm like it's fat loss so there's some tips
and tricks that I do for my fitness goals which nobody asked for but there you go for the first
time ever ever since living here that's about 20 months I've lived here and I have not been able to
get a parking space on my road on the road next to my road or the road next to next to my road
so I'm parked like a full three to four minute walk away from my house which is not a big deal
obviously but the fact that the parking just keeps getting worse and worse and worse at my house are
they issuing more and more permits because I paid to park guys in certain areas of London
mine included you have you have no parking at your house so you have to park on the street and the
streets are all permitted so I have to pay about 200 pounds a year for the privilege of parking
on the street where I live however they clearly have issued so many permits that um sometimes I
don't get Space outside my house which is fine because there's roads nearby that are very near
and that's okay but this is the first time well I haven't been able to get parked anywhere near
my house like I'm parking outside Mansions I mean I don't live in these Mansions that's how
far away I'm parking but never mind anyway I'm just gonna go for a little walk now and stretch
my legs uh because I need steps it is now time to cook dinner when I got back from the gym and
my little walk I obviously had a shower and then I put these straight in the oven this was aubergine
that filled the tray and it's gone nice and crispy now it's coated in salt and garlic to some people
that look too well done but that's how I like it but it's amazing how they shrink but anyway
that was actually meant to be going and what I'm cooking now but I might just have this as a little
pre-dinner snack I'm having vegetarian sausages Peppers two Peppers all mixed in with these Taco
mixed beans very high in protein very filling so that's what I'm gonna do nothing much to update
you on I'll catch up with you after I've had dinner just lit a fire guys it is roaring which is
great and I've lit a little incense stick as well and I'm watching the crown and having my dessert
which is a protein cookie are you good Ava you having fun you know what guys I'm just gonna end
today's Vlog here because I'm just sat reading I'm trying to finish off this book that I've
been reading for the last few weeks called the clockmaker's wife which I'm really really enjoying
as you can see I've not got much left just that much left and I'm really really enjoying it and
it's getting me obsessed with like the world war period well this was World War II like Britain
during the Blitz and stuff like that I'm like low-key obsessed so I want another book to do with
the war or not to do with the war but set during the war so if anyone has any recommendations let
me know but yeah I'm gonna end the Vlog here because I'm not really doing anything this
evening it's nearly eight o'clock Lucy's not home yet I imagine she'll be home any moment now and
I've also read the first chapter of this which I got from the charity shop today I don't know
if it's just because it's night time and I can't really focus on self-help this evening like I'm
tired and so you know reading a story is nice but reading self-help is a bit like oh I can't cope
but yeah I found it hard to get into but I think it will be good it I agree with all the principles
that he's saying so I will give that a go but I I kind of want to finish this first but yeah
