[2025-01-22] massive problems with my new life... [gaMpdUEX45g]

Testing. Uh, rumor is you're streaming

from the cabin. What, the cabin that has

no internet?

Nice try.

Lots of updates,

lots of news. Good news and

bad news. Many types of news.

I can't wait until I get my new place and

then I can show it, and then all the

people accusing me of faking Will then

be shown. I expect an

apology from everyone who accused me of

faking. I expect an apology and

$5 dono. Put your money where your mouth

is. Who wants to place bets? You think I'm

faking? How much are

you willing to bet?

No, I don't know if I can show the place

if I rent it. If I owned

it, then yeah, I'd show it. But if I'm

renting, I don't know if I'd show it. It

might put me in danger.

It's not like I get more views by showing

my place anyway.

Did I watch Trump's inauguration? I

watched a bit of it on Asmongold's

channel. Bit boring, he just said same old

same old. We're gonna make America the

best, blah blah blah. Duh, why would you

make it the worst? Obviously you're gonna

make it better. It's not like he's

gonna stand there and say, we're gonna

make America Worse.

Everything will be worse.

Every time they show Baron Trump, I'm

like, oh my God, he's massive. He's like

6 foot 7, isn't he? It makes everyone else

look tiny.

I'm still wearing the same underwear.

Yeah, it's starting to smell a bit. I'm

going to change it tomorrow. So I think my

new place— actually, I don't know if the

new place has washing. I might have to get

Sunny to do my laundry or I go and look

for a laundrette because even this

serviced apartment I'm looking at doesn't

have a washing machine. Can you believe

that?

Uh, Wise is not very good. I tried

withdraw— I tried sending £1,500 from my

credit card to my Wise and it just says

waiting to receive your money, and that

was 2 hours ago nearly. I thought it'd be

instant. Now I'm a bit worried.

So I need the money from the credit card.

So because I couldn't get the credit card

money because it's still transferring, I

had to sell a bit of crypto to make up the

money that I needed to book the serviced

apartment. So hopefully that's

going to be booked and I have a place to

live for a month.

I do feel like I'm getting close to

renting a place. So I got a couple emails

today. So you remember last week on

Wednesday I went to see a cottage to

rent? They got back to me today and let

me read you the email.

I don't know if I should get excited or

not. Let me see. They said,

further to your viewing, we have heard

from our client and he is happy to proceed

subject to references if you're still

interested. What does that even mean,

proceed subject to references? So I said,

yeah, I'm still interested. They sent me

an application form and I filled it out,

so hopefully, fingers crossed, It's good

enough. I had to send— hold on, Sonny's

I'm going to meet Sunny tomorrow, but she

said she's still a bit sick. I'm a bit

scared I'm going to get her flu,

but according to AI, if it's flu, after

about 5 or 7 days it shouldn't be

contagious anymore.

Well, if I get the flu, at least I've got

a place booked for a month and I can just

sleep, which is gonna suck, so I won't be

So yeah, they said we don't need a

reference because you're a first-time

renter. They asked for proof of ID, easy.

They asked for proof of address for some

reason, which is on my driving license.

So I got those 2, and then proof of

income. I sent them one statement. Oh,

they just asked for one statement, so I

sent them my December statement and Which

says I made 2,600. I don't

know if they're just gonna times that by

12 or what. It didn't say send 12

statements. And I also took a screenshot

of my stocks and I sent that to show that

I got 5K.

And I took a screenshot of my credit card.

£7,000 limit. I also increased my

overdraft limit from £1,000 to £1,500.

Yeah, and then what was the other place?

I got another application form thingy from

another house I saw, I think yesterday.

It was quite a nice place. I didn't talk

about it, did I? Oh yeah, because I didn't

stream yesterday. I think I saw it

yesterday. I can't remember. Everything's

just happening so quickly. Yeah, I saw a

house yesterday. It was really nice, got

conservatory, driveway, upstairs,

downstairs, really nice back bit of garden

that's next to a field, which is pretty

nice. But they're charging, I think it's

like 900 a month for rent. So they sent me

the same application form, I filled it

out, and they said that this form was

kind of different to the other form, and

it said You will need a guarantor,

or can you pay 6 months upfront? So I

pressed yes. It's only like £5,000. And

then I put in my mum's email address as my

guarantor. And then I was having an

argument with my mum. So I said

to my mum, could you be my guarantor? And

then she was like, she didn't really seem

happy about it. She was like, no, you

can't even keep the Amazon job. And then

she started having a go at me again about

paying for food. She always like

completely changes the topic from what

we're trying to discuss to something

completely unrelated, like, oh, I didn't

pay food when I was at home.

Hold on, Sunny's messaging me.

Nice. I got

the, um— anyway, so yeah,

she keeps insisting that she asked me

nicely when we had that fight.

I bet you anything she's telling everyone,

like my sister, Dave Gibson, she's telling

everyone that she just asked me so nicely

and I started calling her an effing B.

And that's not how it went at all. If any

of you heard how she spoke to me, you

would not think that was nice the way she

said it. But she's convinced in her head

that the way she asked me was nicely. So

we had that stupid argument again. And

then she— and then we just kind of stopped

talking because I was mad. But then she

replies to me later saying that she

accepted to be my guarantor.

And then she said,

Actually, there's too many questions. I

don't understand it. And then she just

gave up. So, I mean, I don't think she

could even be my guarantor anyway,

because even the guarantor needs to make

30 times the rent as income, and she

doesn't make $30K because she's retired.

So I don't know. And then I went to a

viewing today. It was like a cottage on a

farm. And then the farm landlord is like

renovating all the barns into houses.

So it's like all the farmers are becoming

real estate people. I guess farming

doesn't pay much. All the farmers are just

going to abandon the farms and then turn

it all into like a little village of

rentals. So I don't know about this place.

It smelled really bad, like fertilizer,

because it's a farm. It's really noisy

because all these laborers building

renovating his barns, and it was

like, it was, it was not

even a cottage or house. It was literally

an old barn that they've renovated.

So on the outside, it just looks like a

shack. It looks like a brick shack. But

then on the inside, it was really nice,

you know, modern floorboards, modern

kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen's massive.

And the bathroom is nice. Big shower,

nice new toilet. So on the inside it looks

great. On the outside, it's like an

abandoned barn on a farm.

But I told her honestly, I don't make

enough. She said, you're going to have to

make 30 times the rent. So the rent was

like $750. Pretty cheap. $750 times

30 is like $24,000. I said,

I made a couple thousand less than that.

And then she said, that's fine, you could

pay upfront 6 months and then you could

also write a letter to the landlord. So I

wrote a letter saying that I started a new

job as a career, but I haven't been doing

it for 12 months. So that isn't reflected

in my last year of income and

I've got savings. So I made like an appeal

letter to the landlord.

It's a pretty good location, near to the

city but not in the city. And it seemed— I

don't know, it's just— I don't know how

quiet it is because it's on a farm and

there's a lot of work going on now. It's

not really my first choice, but the inside

is nice and spacious.

I really like my first choice, which is

the one I saw on Wednesday. That they said

the landlord would like to proceed with

me. Uh, that was also on a farm, but that

was like a detached nice cottage, not

some— it looked really ugly, this one I

saw today. Uh, and then I had another

viewing at 4 PM, but I cancelled it

because that was the crappy bungalow, and

I thought, yeah, I'd rather just get a

serviced apartment than have to live in

that crappy bungalow. Also, I didn't like

the sound of the real estate agent. It's

weird, this real estate agency, every time

I've talked to their people, they always

sound really low-class and not

professional. Like, oh, I'll say you can

though, I dare you. I don't know, they

sound really chavvy. And the man I was

dealing with was like that. And then I

phoned— they phoned me up today confirming

the cancellation, and then again The

receptionist guy, he didn't sound

professional at all. I got a feeling for

Daniel. Sound like an idiot. So yeah, I

don't want to deal with that real estate

agency again. Usually when you phone up a

real estate agency, it's usually like a

nice, well-spoken lady or man,

not like— what's that Dell boy?

From that UK sitcom.

So I cancelled that viewing. Number one,

it's not in a good area. It's in a place

very far from where I want to be. It looks

horrible. It's really— it's like the size

of this room, so basically triple my

bedrooms. But the good things were no

deposit, and also the rent was only £800,

so they probably would have taken me. But

I don't know, I feel like I should hold

out. Maybe I'll get, get one of my top

picks.

Yeah, maybe things are looking hopeful.

I really don't know why they need to do an

income check when I'm just gonna say I've

got the cash, let me pay all at once, and

then you don't do a stupid income check.

And I don't think my mum can be my

guarantor anyway because she doesn't make

enough money. I don't really want to ask

my sister because then if she says no,

I'm gonna be a bit upset about it because

she'll probably tell her husband.

Husband's gonna be like, oh,

Daniel makes rash financial decisions

and he might end up ditching and then

you'll have to pay for his rent and

Because her husband is like a financial

advisor kind of guy. That's the industry

he works in. And he always thinks

everything's a scam. Like, oh, this is a

scam, that's a scam. So he's probably

going to say something like, I don't know,

I've got a history of ditching and stuff

like that, so I don't think my sister

would want to be responsible for it, and I

don't want to burden her with it, so I

don't really want to ask her.

Yeah, it's just silly because my mum made

this big fuss about me not being able to

afford the rent, which is ridiculous. If I

thought I couldn't afford the rent, I

wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have left.

I'm only here because I believe I can. I

mean, I have proven that I could afford

the rent. In the last 4 months, I've made

over £2,000 a month. I could

easily afford £800, £900 a month. What are

you talking about? All I do— all I have to

do is get a part-time job.

So then I also found it annoying how she

didn't want to be my guarantor, but a

couple Days ago she was saying she would

give me £8,000 to put a deposit to buy a

house. Doesn't make any sense.

Paying 6 months rent upfront would be less

money than giving me £8K for a deposit for

I think she's still mad because I called

her stupid.

I don't know what else happened. Oh yeah,

I went for a training session yesterday at

this delivery company.

Um, I don't

know. So I go there, it's like this

industrial, industrial estate,

and I go to this warehouse And there's

like people in high-vis showing other

people how to pack their cars. So I'm

standing there and then this other girl

shows up and then she, she kept talking to

me. She was like really chatty in kind of

like an autistic way. It was a bit weird.

She comes up to me and she's like, oh, is

this the training place? And I say, yeah.

And then she just keeps talking even

though I'm barely saying anything. I'm

just like, uh, hmm, yeah. And then

she keeps talking. Oh my God. So we do the

training together. The manager guy calls

us into the office and then sits us in

front of a laptop, and then the laptop's

got like a slideshow of how to use the

app. And it was so confusing compared to

Amazon Flex. That app is terrible.

The app looks like it was made in the

1990s. It's horrible. It's like, at least

with the Amazon Flex app, you got a map.

And you've got like interactive stuff and

it's nicely laid out. It looks like it's

well designed. This company's app looks

like a 1990s website. It's like all block

menus. The map was awful.

There's no, there's no button to open

Google Maps. You can't even copy and paste

the address. So you would have to like

remember the address and type it out into

Google Maps. I really am confused with the

app. You have to— it's

basically the same thing as Amazon Flex,

but the app makes it look really

confusing. There's so many buttons and

there's so many codes, like code words.

And then you've got to— I don't understand

it. It's like you go to the warehouse,

they assign you a route, you scan all the

items, you put it in your car. And then he

said it's up to you when you deliver the

items. You could deliver at any time

during the day as long as it's before 9

PM. Okay, so I can just go home and then

do it later. And then you have to enter

the time that you think you'll be

delivering it. So you've got to

deliver it within the time that you've

said you're going to deliver it,

otherwise you don't get a bonus. And then

he said, if you don't deliver it within

the time you said you would, then I'm

gonna have to call you into the office and

have a chat. So it's like not the

same as Amazon Flex where you're just

dealing with an app. And an algorithm.

It's more like you've got a manager and he

manages you, and then if you do things

wrong, he's gonna have a chat with you. I

don't really like that, to be honest.

It's like having a job. And then, so I

tell him— first of all, he says, where are

you guys from? And I stupidly say, I'm

from Kent. And then everyone started

laughing, and I was like, what's so funny?

They, they said, Well, we're not going to

send you that far. And then they all

started laughing. So then I quickly said

the name of the village that I'm staying

in. I said, I just got here a week ago.

And he said, usually they'd give us a

route after the training and send us out

for like a real, a real route that pays

money. But he said he wasn't going to give

me one because I'm new to the area. And I

told him I'm moving on Thursday. I'm going

to move to a new area. He said, once you

get settled in your new place, give me a

ring and then we'll give you a route.

He seemed really worried. He was like,

I'm really concerned. I don't think I

could send you out today since you're new

here. You don't know the area. It'll be

dangerous. I don't want you getting stuck

in the back roads of the country.

I said I did Amazon Flex for a few months

and it was fine, and then he was like,

yeah, that's because you, you know Kent

well, you know the area. Not really. I

didn't really know Kent well before I did

Amazon Flex. I only knew Maidstone and the

road to my house. I didn't know all the

areas. I just look— you just look at the

map. Why do I need to know the area? You

got a map, you got GPS. I don't know why

they're worried. So they gave the girl

a live route and they sent me home. And he

said, first, just for now, go home and

practice on the app and then give me a

call on Thursday. I said, I'm living in

this place. And he said, I don't have any

routes going down there anyway. So.

And it's also— it's weird because you got

to tell them where you live and then

they'll give you routes around where you

live, which I guess is good. Because if

you live— I mean, I guess you can pick

what kind of routes you're going to get

depending on where you live. So you could

just give him a fake address. If you want

to do deliveries in the countryside, give

him like a fake countryside address. If

you want to do deliveries in the town,

give him a town address and say, oh, I

live there. Are they actually going to

check? So that's pretty good because

Amazon Flex, you didn't get to choose

where you delivered. It was random.

So he said,

we need to know your postcode because

we'll give you routes around where you

live. There's literally nothing around

where I'm planning to move to. It's like

the middle of nowhere on a farm. So I

don't know what he's going to say when I

tell him where my new place is. I couldn't

remember the name of the new place, so I

couldn't tell him at the time.

What happened with the credit card debt?

Yeah, well, I just paid £1,500

for a 1-month service deposit. Son, why

are you working such depressing jobs?

Come back home to mummy. You can be a NEET

again. I miss you. Yeah, my mum actually

said, I don't want to be your guarantor.

You should come home, pay me rent, and

then try and get a better job. Okay,

number 1. I tried paying her rent back in

2021. We agreed I would pay her £280 a

month, which I did, and that included

food, electricity bills, and council tax.

So I was paying £280 a month to my mum,

2021. Did it make her happy? No.

Did it stop the fighting? No. We still had

a big fight, and that's why I stormed off

to Manchester. So paying her money every

month, it doesn't fix the problems.

Number 2, I don't need to get a better

job. I was already making over £2,200 a

month doing delivery work. But I got

banned and then I got sick, which means

I couldn't have done any more Uber Eats

because I got really sick. So I don't need

a better job. I just need to continue

doing the job that I was doing before I

got banned on Amazon.

So again, she doesn't know what she's

And obviously I can't work now because I'm

busy looking at viewings and trying to

find a place to live. And actually, I've

made okay money this month considering I

haven't done any delivery work. I made

about £1,200 this month in January.

So if I did some

delivery work on top of that, I would

easily be able to afford the rent.

Yeah, that was all YouTube. Oh, also my

sponsorship for— what's it called— Path of

Exile 2. I got some money for that and

Well, yeah, I did one delivery job for a

different app, but I only made £27.

It's really hard to work when you've got

house viewings all day, every day. And

then I've got to stay— I've got to be at

the phone to make sure I answer the phone

when a real estate agent phones up. And

I've got to be filling out application

forms for after I finish the viewing and I

tell them I'm interested. I gotta wait for

them to send me the application form,

which can take days for some reason. It

took a week. I went, I went to that

cottage a week ago on Wednesday, and only

today they got back to me saying, here's

the application form, you've been chosen.

It's such freaking ages. So it's really

annoying because, oh my god, I got the

application form this morning at 10 AM.

But I had a viewing at 11 AM. I had to

leave at 10 AM, so I didn't have time to

finish the application form. So I had to

drive an hour to this other house, and

then I had to sit at the Tesla

Supercharger, sit there for like 50

minutes to charge from 20% to 90%,

and then drive all the way back. So I

finally got back about 2 hours later to

start filling out the application form.

So I don't have time to work, I've got

stuff to do. And also I was at the Tesla

Supercharger and for some reason they

charged me £20 plus the charging cost.

I don't know why. The last time I used a

Tesla Supercharger, it didn't do that.

I'm hoping it's just like a prepayment and

they're going to give it back to me, but

I'm a bit annoyed. I really like the Tesla

Supercharger. It's way cheaper than a

normal charger. So I charged 26 kilowatts

and it charged me about £13. If I charged

at Gridserve, it would have been like £20.

So it saved me— Tesla Superchargers are

nearly 50% cheaper than the other

chargers. So I

found 2 locations with Superchargers. So

if I go anywhere near those, I would make

it a priority to stop there and charge.

Because it's just so much cheaper. And

also, if you sign up as a Tesla member,

£9 a month, you only pay 39p

per kilowatt, which is nearly the price of

electricity at home when you've got like

22p per kilowatt or 30p per kilowatt rate.

So do you guys know what the £20 charge

is? I don't know. It can't be the idle fee

because I didn't charge to 100%. And sit

there. I only charged to 92%, but the

problem is it did take a long time. It

took 50 minutes. I'm wondering if I was

there too long and they charged me £20.

It can't be. Can I show you the

£100K property I'm thinking about? Well,

if I got it, I would show it, but not

before I get it.

Yeah, if I got the house and I bought it,

I'd definitely document fixing it up.

That would be great content. But first,

baby steps. We start off renting, I build

a base, I focus on work, try rebuild

my savings. I've got to pay off the credit

card again. Yeah, EV charging is

really annoying. So tomorrow I've got so

much to do. Tomorrow. So listen,

listen. Today I went to the viewing and

I only had about 20% battery left from

driving to the viewing. And also because

it wasn't at 100% when I left because I

can't charge it here. So I get to the

viewing, I finish the viewing, I've got

about 20% left. I go to the Tesla

Supercharger, I charge up to 92%. I drive

back here, which is like 35 miles.

I've already dropped from 92% down to 70%

just coming back home. So I don't really

know the percentages very well, but when I

left the Supercharger, it said I had

180-mile range. I get back here, now I've

got 140-mile range. I burned 40 miles, so

I've got 140 miles left on my battery.

Tomorrow I got to go pick up

Sunny, and she's like 20

miles away, and then we're gonna go to

another viewing together, which is like 20

miles from her place, and then gotta go

from the viewing back here, which is 40

miles. So I'm gonna do like

another 80 miles tomorrow, and then I've

got to take Sunny to her job, which is

like 30 miles from here. So I don't think

I've got enough battery. So before I pick

up Sunny tomorrow, I've got to go to the

Tesla Supercharger again to top it up

because right now I've got 140 miles left.

If I drive to the Supercharger, I only

have 120 miles left. That's like 60%. So

I'm gonna charge at the Supercharger to

top it back up to 90%. It's so stupid.

I gotta drive 20-30 miles to charge and

then 20 or 30 miles to come home. It's

like you charge from 50 to 100, and then

when I get back here, I'm back down to 50.

So stupid.

Anyway, so I gotta go. If I don't go to

the Supercharger before I pick up Sunny,

I don't think I'll have enough battery to

take her to work the next day. Imagine I'm

taking her to work and then the car just

dies, and then she's late for work, and

then she gets fired. That would be a

nightmare. So tomorrow what I'm gonna do

is I'm gonna stop at the Tesla

Supercharger, top it up to 92%, that'll

give me 180 miles range, and then pick up

Sunny. That means got 160, and then go

down to the viewing. That means I have

140, and then back here.

That means I have 100 miles left, and then

to her job, which which is like 30,

really 40 miles, I think I'll have about

50 or 60 miles left range, and then I'll

just limp over to the Tesla Supercharger.

Oh my god, it's like you spend all day

charging the freaking car. I could sit

there for like an hour because it starts

off charging really quickly, 40 kilowatts

per hour, and then the higher the battery

gets charged, the slower it gets. So when

you're over 80% charged, it slows down to

like 20 kilowatts, and then when you're

over 90%, it slowed right down to 7

kilowatts per hour, and I just had to

unplug it. That's like home charging

speeds, 7 kilowatts. I don't know if it's

because my car's crap, but the maximum

speed it charges at is only 42 kilowatts

per hour, even though it's a 160-200

kilowatt per hour Supercharger.

My car only charges maximum speed 42

kilowatts. That's why I need a Tesla,

because they can charge at speeds of over

100 kilowatts per hour.

So yeah, a bit annoying.

The range is just awful, especially with

the heating on. And Sunny's sick,

so I have to have the heating on. I can't

expect to sit in my cold freezing car. So

yeah, that's the plan for tomorrow. I

gotta, I gotta plot out my plan on a

notebook because it's so confusing,

life with an EV. You gotta sit there

plotting a course like you're Captain

Picard plotting a— what do they

call it? Star jump? I can't remember.

Warp drive? It's like you're plotting a

course to some planet That's millions of

miles away. Plot a course.

I don't remember what it's called in Star

Trek. Not hyperdrive.

Warp. It's like warp something.

So I got to stop it, go to the

Supercharger. I'll probably be at 50% when

I get there cuz the Supercharger is like

20 miles away. Top it up to 90, go down to

Sunny, pick up Sunny, Go to the viewing

and then, well, go from the viewing back

here.

Sunny's gonna stay one night here and then

we're gonna check out the next day and

then I'm gonna take her to work and then

I'm gonna do another viewing at 1 PM at

some cottage, which I feel

like is a waste of time because it's like

£975 a month. I'm not even anywhere

close to meeting the income requirements.

And that, uh, viewing— so after I drop off

Sunny, I gotta sit at the Supercharger for

like an hour, otherwise I won't be able to

get to the viewing because the viewing is

all the way back this direction. So then I

gotta drive like 60 miles back in

this direction and go past it and then go

to the viewing, and then I'm gonna drive

all the way back to the city to go pick up

Sunny. So I probably got to go to the

Supercharger again. Oh my God.

And I got to pick Sunny up, and then we,

we're going to check into a hotel for one

night, probably near the city.

And then the next day we begin my

month-long stay at the service department,

which I'll be— we'll be going there

together for the weekend. So yeah.

And also we're in negotiations with the

serviced apartment owner to see if I can

charge my car at the serviced apartment.

He said if we can come to an arrangement

about the electricity costs, then it's

doable. So yeah, it seems hopeful. That

would really help me out. If I can charge

at home, that would really help me out.

Why don't I stay at a serviced apartment

long-term? Because it's £1,500 a month.

My place that I'm hoping to move into is

£850 a month, but then I've got to pay

council tax. That's like £120 a month. So

basically that's £950,

£970, and then I've got to pay for gas and

electric and water. That's probably like

£150. So it's like £300 council tax and

bills plus the rent at £850.

One— that's £1,150.

And then I gotta buy furniture. So yeah,

I might as well just stay at a serviced

apartment, to be honest, because at least

that has furniture and it's all included

and I could probably charge. I, I can't— I

don't think I can charge at the place I

might be accepted to rent. Because it's

like on a farm and there's no parking next

to the cottage. So yeah,

maybe the service apartment works out to

be the same cost as just renting.

Oh well, thanks. Do you think Elon Musk

did the Nazi salute? Also, are you happy

that Trump is president and/or that Elon

is involved in the US government now? I

think he's just trolling. He likes

to troll for it. He's basically like me.

It's just anything for attention. He's

just trying to be funny.

It's like when PewDiePie dressed up in

that communist outfit. He's just

got a weird sense of humor.

I don't really feel happy or unhappy. I

don't really care, to be honest.

Yeah. So about the new delivery job,

I don't know if I want to do it because it

doesn't seem like they pay much. They said

they pay about 50 pence per parcel.

That's kind of rubbish. So you

would have to make— you would have to

deliver, what, 50 parcels to

make £25? What?

50 parcels is a— I did 50— no, I did,

I did about 40 parcels once on Amazon Flex

Shift and it took me 4 hours. So you say

I'm going to make £25 over 4 hours?

It can't be.

That sounds so bad. But he said you do get

bonuses and stuff, and that would

make sure that you're earning above

minimum wage. He said, our promise to you

is you will make between £16 and £20 an

hour. But I just don't see how if they're

only paying like 50 to 60 pence per

parcel. You'd have to deliver like 150

parcels to make what I was making on

Amazon Flex. On Amazon Flex, I made £140 a

day and I would only maybe deliver about

40, maybe 60

parcels. I feel like I'd rather just do

Uber Eats. And he said most of the routes

are 3 to 4 hours. So let's say, okay, go

by his word. He said £16 to £20 an hour.

Let's just say best case scenario, you

make £20 an hour and the route is only

about 4 hours. You only make £80. And then

I've got to minus my charging, which is

like £15. You're only coming home with

about £60. I might as well just go and do

Uber Eats. It's no better than Uber Eats.

The only way it's better than Uber Eats is

I'm guaranteed work, whereas Uber Eats is

a bit You never really know.

So I don't know, I might try it out to

just see if it's any good or not.

God, I miss Amazon Flex.

The app was so much better. This app

sucks.

And also with this new delivery job, You

have to take a photo of the customer

holding the parcel. How stupid is that?

And also, you're not allowed to just ditch

the parcel in front of the door. You've

got to put it in a special location.

And if the customer— you've got to knock

on the door and the customer opens it,

you've got to take a photo of the

customer. How stupid.

Imagine you get your parcel and the

delivery man's like, oh, I just need to

I don't really want to do this job, to be

honest. I'd rather try harder on Uber

Eats. I haven't even tried Uber Eats since

I got here.

On Amazon, I just dumped it at the door,

took a photo, ran off. Didn't even ring

the doorbell. But if I keep doing that,

um, they monitor your photos, and if they

don't like what they see, they're gonna

call me in for a chat, and then I'll get

told off by the manager.

I don't know, it just sounds like too much

work. And then you also

have to collect parcels from customers

that are returning their parcel.

Whoever made the app needs a slap in the

face. They should hire the guy who did the

Amazon Flex app. Terrible app.

And why is it

so complicated?

And then for the other delivery job, they

didn't send me an email, so I think I'm

supposed to phone them and tell them I've

upgraded my insurance. Ah, don't know now.

Getting fed up with this. Let's just go

back to Uber Eats.

Am I gonna be a delivery driver for life?

Well, delivery driving is

the only way I can make above minimum

wage. Without needing

any skills or experience.

Delivery driving is like a cheat code to

give you access to above minimum wage when

you have no qualifications or skills, and

all you need is to be able to drive.

No, I'm not making below minimum wage.

What are you talking about? On Amazon

Flex, I was making £140 a day on

Christmas. And then pre-Christmas I was

making like £70 or £80 a day just

for doing like 4 or 5 hours. It wasn't an

8-hour shift. It was like 3, 4 hours.

And then I think there's something wrong

with my car. Every time I brake hard,

there's like a grinding sound. It scared

the crap out of me. It happened twice now.

I think there's a stone stuck in the brake

pads or something. I was going— I was

approaching a roundabout, thought it was

clear, and then out of nowhere, stupid

motorbike comes out of nowhere, so I have

to brake hard and it goes— very scary.

Usually I don't use the brakes, I use the

regenerative brakes. Which is not actually

using the brake pads. You should get a

pair of Meta Ray-Ban glasses. Oh wow,

thanks. Um,

yeah, usually I use the regenerative

brakes, which doesn't use the brake pads.

It uses, I don't know,

some kind of thing that puts energy back

into the battery. But if you brake hard,

it will switch to the brake pads. So now I

don't know what to do. I mean, the car

still brakes, it just makes a horrible

noise, and it's only when you emergency

brake or have to brake hard, which I don't

do that often. And maybe I'll have

a look at it tomorrow and I can fish out

the stone. Damaged bearing.

I don't know.

It is a bit worrying.

I think maybe there's just a stone in

there. I did hit

a pothole pretty hard. I don't know if it

started doing it after that. I hit the

pothole so hard it triggered my dashcam

warning.

Oh God, the potholes here. Trying to

avoid the potholes is like a whole new

skill set you got to learn living here.

They're so bad.

Sometimes you don't realize how big they

are because it's full of water, so it

looks like a little puddle. And then you

get closer and you're like, oh crap, it's

a massive one. And then you go Like that.

My car's getting destroyed here. I need a

Land Rover 4x4, I swear.

My poor little dinky EV built for town

cruising at 30 mph, it's getting wrecked

Really annoyed with my choice of car.

The charging is annoying.

The only good thing is it's small, which

is nice. I went over this bridge.

Oh my God, you should have seen this

bridge. It was like a tiny stone bridge

and it was like only this wide. Just

enough room for a normal-sized car to get

through. I was so nervous because it

looked like it was too small for my car to

fit, but my car is a lot smaller than I

think it is when I'm on the inside. It was

so narrow, the bridge.

If only you'd listened to your fangirls.

Well, if only I didn't know you could

predict that I was going to end up leaving

and living in the countryside.

Yeah, it was definitely a car bridge

because the sat nav was taking me that

way. It was just, um,

I think it's just to stop big lorries

going over it.

Your tics and stimming have mellowed out.

Yeah, I'm a bit more relaxed now because

I've got the 1-month service department

booked. Um, I've got some hopeful

replies from agencies. I mean, today's

viewing was quite good too. She said to me

they don't really care that much about

references, and if I can't pass the income

check, I can pay up front and I can write

a letter to the landlord and explain my

situation, and maybe he'll look at it and

be sympathetic. A farmer's

basically a real estate mogul at this

point. Just ditch farming, build all these

little houses on your farmland, that makes

more money. You lose so much money

farming. You just put like 6 properties on

your farm, rent it out £1,000 a month,

you make like £6,000 a month.

You just gotta invest the money to build

up. They're renovating these other

buildings next to the building I saw. So

there's gonna be work going on, which is a

bit annoying. So if I moved in, those

buildings, they were doing the roof, like

actually building the roof, so it could be

a year until those are finished. I don't

know how quickly people finish houses.

And it's on a farm, so it looks kind of

shit. It's just like mud and concrete

and potholes. As a driveway, but it's a

nice little farm cottage. Problem is you

don't get to live in the farm cottage.

You live in the shack attached to the farm

cottage, and that is the one-bedroom house

when it's literally just a shack, like a

brick shack attached to the side of the

cottage. But you get a bedroom and a big

kitchen and a bathroom,

and it comes with a fridge. Because the

previous tenant left it behind, so I

wouldn't have to buy a fridge.

It's just, I mean, it doesn't look great

from the outside, but if that's all I can

get, it is cheap. It's like £750 a month,

so I would probably take that if I can't

get the other farm cottage. I'm really

hoping I get the first farm cottage

because that place was nice. It was like

really well looked after, really nice.

Had little sheep on the field, and I went

up to the gate and the sheep all came

running to me. They looked really cute.

Sheep are funny. I like sheep.

I like how they're curious and they come

up to you and they're not scared.

All I want is a nice little cottage in the

countryside with my own driveway. Is it so

much to ask for?

£400 a month for your flat? Yeah, well, I

don't want to live in a flat. I want a

cottage. I want a detached country house

good enough for my standards.

Maybe I'll just get a job on the farm as

well. Maybe I would say, oh, I'm looking

for a job, I live here, so it would be

very convenient, and then just ditch the

Makes sense to get a place you can charge

the car at. You know, the problem is the

only place you can charge a car at is a

house, and those are expensive.

They're over £900 a month, and I've

applied to 2 houses so far,

and then the other 2 were like farm

cottages, and one of them was a bungalow

with a garage. I haven't heard back from

them. I really— if I could choose any of

them, I would love the bungalow with the

garage because it had amazing views. Oh my

God, the view from the living room was so

good. You can see the whole English

countryside spread out in front of you,

and it's got a garage with a plug. I could

charge my car there as well. I would love

that place.

And it's near the town where I think would

be good for Uber Eats.

I would like that place. But the farm

cottage is fine, I guess, just to get

myself started. And then I just focus on

making money so I can prove for the next

year that I've made £27k. And then really,

after I get a place to live, my goal is

going to be I got to make £2,000

a month. That's my goal.

So that would be— no, I need to make more.

I need to make like £2,200.

No, I still need to make more. I need to

make like £2,400. Yeah, I need to make

about £2,400 a month to be able to make

£29,000 a year. So in

the future I could apply to rent a nicer

place, not a cottage or a bungalow, like

an actual house would be nice. But to get

a house, I need to make 29k a year.

And yeah,

if I rent like a cottage, at least I'll

get a reference as well so that I can use

for next time. Yeah,

I guess I'm gonna have to pay tax. My

whole tactic of making less money is just

not gonna fly anymore. I can't afford to

live on £13k a year.

So to make £2,400 a month,

hmm, I reckon I can make about £850

on YouTube, so I just have to make £1,500

doing something else. So I reckon, let's

say I make £55 a day on Uber Eats.

That's, that's 50. I mean, I could make

less, like £40 a day. Not that

less, £45 a day.

It's like £1,350, and then

I add my YouTube money and then some

PayPal, and that'll get me to about

£2,400 a month.

And then Yeah, I made £2,400 a month and

my expenses are £1,600. I would have like

£800, £900 left over. So after a year I

would have saved up like £12,000

and I'll pay off my mum £8K.

And, uh, what else? Oh look,

there's a, there's a delivery offer on

this new app. It's offering

£30. It's 50 miles away.

The hell? Let's go!

Not. Oh, this one's offering £23.

20 miles. It's the same. Oh my God, this

woman's an alcoholic. I delivered to this

address the first time and it was a woman

and she ordered Like a bottle of wine.

And I opened it. She opened the door and

her face was bright red, like she was

drunk. And now she's ordered again. I know

it's her because it says the same postcode

I went to before, and she wants a bottle

of Chardonnay and a bottle of Casillero

del Diablo Chardonnay. She really likes

Chardonnay. It's the same woman.

That would take like an hour to do. £23.

That's pretty good. She always

orders it really late as well.

She gave me a 10 out of 10 review.

Yeah, I think this app, it's like

Alcoholics use it, and they use it to

order a bottle of wine because they can't

drive because they're probably already

smashed. It is funny because

I've seen this same address pop up several

times and it's always alcohol.

I mean, that's pretty good, £23, and it's

only about 20 miles away. Probably take

like an hour and a bit. Let's get there

and back. It's just a shame it doesn't

pop up during the day. I guess she got the

cravings for some chardonnay.

So I'm hoping I can do that app plus

Uber Eats and then not have to do the

other courier jobs because they don't

really seem very good. They seem like too

much work for the pay.

So yeah, basically to hit my £2,400 a

month target, I would have to— I have to

make £50 a day plus my YouTube.

Do you reckon I can do it?

Last time I spoke with Sunny, like 20

minutes ago, she said she's feeling

better. She's going to come over tomorrow

and I'm going to show her this place

before I have to check out the next day.

No days off. Yeah, that's a problem. I'm

going to have to take days off because

obviously Sunny is going to come over. So

maybe I can only work 20 days out of the

Yeah, tricky times. We're building up

debts rapidly, but I reckon once I

get settled, the money will start rolling

in.

Maybe get Sunny to sign up to Amazon Flex

and we do it together.

This is exactly what you did with me,

lad. What?

You built your life around Mila and then

she left you on Boxing Day.

Um, so my logic is this

is also going to benefit me in

the future because I would have $29K proof

of income so I could rent a house, and I

would also have a reference for next time

I rent. And also, I really want to get

away from my mum.

Trying to talk to my mum is so difficult.

She— it's like she just doesn't understand

anything I'm saying.

It's actually driving me crazy.

I don't understand why she doesn't

understand anything I say.

Is it clear in your mind what it would

take to make $29K in a year? Yeah, I've

already done 4 months.

Technically— oh my god, I don't have to

make $2,400 a month for 12 months. I only

have to make $2,400 a month for another 8

months because the previous 4 months I've

already made over $2,200 with Amazon Flex.

Oh my God, I've only got to do another 8

months of $2,400 a month income and then

I'll have proof. Wait, I need toilet.

Okay,

um, so I'm

a bit worried about something.

Um, if you don't include my credit card,

I've only got £5,100.

Because I've just spent 1,500 on the

service department,

and it seems like withdrawing money from

your credit card and sending it to Wise is

not reliable. So I withdrew 1,500

from my credit card to my Wise.

It hasn't come and it just says, we are

waiting to receive your money.

How long is it going to take?

I thought it'd be instant.

Yeah, so anyway, I was saying, um, I've

already done 4 months where I made over

£2,000 a month, so I only need to do

another 8 months. Let me check.

I think I made about £8,000

in over 4 months since

I got the Amazon job. So that's like
