I Needed This Day So MuchAdded:
Good morning. Welcome back to another video in the same house. Still have not moved. I know in my last video I had spoken about how there was a little bit more progression moving towards another moving date because if you've been keeping up, we have been aiming to move and we were supposed to move last weekend and we didn't. So things got pushed back. We now have a new moving date, but it is subject to change because unfortunately we're in a little bit there's a little bit of a chain beneath us and the bottom of the chain keeps causing issues. So, we're still here and we shouldn't technically be, but we are and it is what it is. And my dog food is burning.
I'm making breakfast for these little guys.
If I don't sort them out, they will not stop squeaking. You can hear them. You can always hear them whenever I'm about to feed them. They squeak and they make noises, which is actually really cute.
It's here. Okay, dogs are fed. Today is a very exciting day because today is my best friend Matt's birthday. And today I'm taking him out this morning early.
It's 8:07 right now. I've been up since 6:00. We're going to the IV. It's usually like our little tradition. He took me to the IV last year for my birthday. Last year for his birthday, we actually were in Ireland. I took him to Ireland and we visited my mom and it was so nice. This year was a little bit hectic because of the move, but I still really wanted to celebrate him and take him out. And I'm really excited to see him. And I'm also, if I'm completely honest, I don't think I've left the house in quite a while other than dog walks. Like, I don't think I've actually gotten my car. I haven't got dressed up.
I haven't worn normal clothes. So, this is the first time I've put on like jewelry and a nice like a cute outfit in a really long time. So, I'm excited to just go out and get away from the house and get away from everything cuz it does get a little bit like cabin fever.
need to be out of here in probably like 5 minutes.
Little outfit check. My vest is from Zara. And then these jeans are from Topshop. I've got little ballet pumps from Pretty Ballerinas. And then I've got this jacket. Where is this from?
Bon Prey Collection. I think this was a brand deal or like sent to me. Yeah, I think it was might have been a brand deal. It doesn't the hardware doesn't go cuz I've got gold on everywhere and like there's gold buttons on my little vest and these are silver. I wish they were gold cuz I'm more of a gold girl. But I do think that navy and coral like peach look cute together. So that's my outfit. I can't find any of my um I have no idea where any of my hand Well, I do know where they are, but my handbags are all packed away. So, I'm just going to have to go with this one.
About 16°. It's not It's not very warm, but it's not cold.
My car is so dirty. If you could only see the outside. Let's go get the birthday plate.
Happy birthday.

>> Well, no, I wasn't up.
>> Did you actually wake up?
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, >> I was like, "Oh my god, look at all my messages from people wishing me happy birthday. All I've heard from is you."
No, literally that's the only person I've heard.
>> Okay, it is early though. Let's just keep that in mind. No, actually, wake up.
>> Elliot, Finley, and Sienna have both messaged me this morning.
That's so cute.
>> Can't believe you turned 38.
>> Me neither.
>> Me neither.
>> Here we are. So surprising. Oh my goodness.
>> We're at our favorite place.

>> Finally.
>> I mean, that's just old, doesn't it?
Really?
>> Usually when we come here, we just get like a full English breakfast.
>> Just leave it there.
was like my mom.
>> I just looked over at Matt and he was like this with his phone. He was like >> um just put it just throw it on my jacket. Usually we get the English breakfast and Matt did get the English breakfast but I didn't cuz I was like I feel like I've kind of I'm like English breakfast it out. I've done it so many times.
>> No, the English breakfast is good for you. Yeah, it's got lots of protein. I got scrambled eggs and salmon and a decaf cappuccino.
>> Oh, no.
>> Thank you.
>> I thought I'd got away with that.
>> Right, you're going to vote out. Please do.
>> Make a wish. Do you know what just happened? It was actually really funny.
So here >> there's a table over there because there's a table just over there and they've just went happy birthday.
>> It was so funny. They started singing.
They were like but all of them it's a big table and they were happy and I was like joining in pretending to join in and then they were like happy birthday Matt. I was like oh my god what are the odds?
>> That's cute. It's obviously a thing.
Take it in a box. That's what I always do. I always take it in a box for the kids. And the kids love it. We finished off in uh the Ivy. And now we're going to try and find Well, should we cross? Actually, we should probably Yeah, we're going to go to uh Space M cuz I know that there's one in this.
This is actually Cobb. Been here before.
Basically, every time it's our birthday, we come here. But Matt didn't know that there was this Did you know? Did you not know that there was this place in case?
>> No, we didn't know.
>> Um, yeah. I've been in there before with Lessie and Dre, and Dre just walked out.
He was like, "No, I'm not doing this."
They're having 20% off. Laura Mercier, which is good. So, I need one of these powders. This is the translucent powder.
I love it. And my mom actually I got my mom into it, so I'm going to get one for her cuz it's her birthday. She and Matt are birthday twice. Love catching That's definitely what I was thinking.
>> I know. I really like their new packaging. It's really cute.
>> I love that for summer, though.
>> Yeah, >> they've got like a cuticle oil as well.
Oh, look. That's it. I want to try that.
And that's being really annoying. He's insisting on getting my mom a present now, which she absolutely doesn't need to do.
>> Why would I not get her a present? I always get her a present on her birthday and for Christmas. Stop being so mean to me at the moment.
>> Wow.
>> She got that. That looks very phallic.
>> I like it.
>> I don't think so.
>> I'm going to get her a mug.
>> Please don't. They're really pretty mugs, though.
>> Would she like one of those, though?
I've got one with a duck.
>> She doesn't need another mug.
>> Let's not forget she has shelves that are buckling under the weight of mugs.
She already >> It's like me with my pots in the garden.
There's never You can never have too many.
>> What would she like? Would she like this one with the black on or >> No. No.
>> You're such >> She hates mugs. I'm back home and that was such a nice morning. He's sent me home with my mom's present, which she's going to be so cross with him about cuz she won't want him to have bought her a present.
But it's my mom's birthday and she is coming here for it. So, hello.
Hi.
>> Well, Allesia is having a late lunch of leftover pizza cuz we had pizza last night. I got changed back into active wear. I just needed to get cozy. I don't know if you are like this, but when you're on your period, you just do not want to be wearing jeans. Let's just put it that way. So, I got changed.
The minute I got home, I got changed.
And I have solidly been eating ever since I came home. You would not know that I went out for breakfast. Although that was a few hours ago. So, I had just lots of different picky bits. I don't even know what I had to be honest. I was just grazing. And now I'm going to make a coffee. And I was going to sit outside, but it doesn't look so great anymore. I thought the sun was out, but it's not. Is it a pajama day today?
>> Did anybody get dressed? I know Amelia did cuz she went out. But yeah, she went out.
Also, don't judge me with my fork.
It's actually your fork. I don't wash it.
So, I'm just sitting here editing videos >> and look who came over to me to say hello.
Love you.
>> Hey, friends.
My name is Oh, say something in Italian.
>> Me, >> Mickey, and >> Yay.
Well done. That was amazing.
>> I don't know what that means.
>> Well done.
>> I'm about to get dark chocolate for mommy.
>> You want my dark chocolate? Is that why you're here?
>> I should have known. The only time you ever come and say hello to me is when you want food.
>> No, >> that's true. It's when I dress up as a mouse.
>> Okay, I'm going to go back to editing.
This is my new office being that my office is gone. Furniture's been taken away. So, this is my new office and I kind of like it more actually. It's time for me to start making dinner. I am about to make roast dinner. Making roast chicken tonight. And I need to show you something. For those of you that don't know, I lost my soul dog, Cena, last February. So, not February, just gone, but the one before then. Her color was purple. So, she wore a purple bow in her hair, purple harness, purple bandana.
That was like her color. How weird is this? Okay, so our dog garden, it's like the little garden where the dogs go and do their business. We don't really have any plants in there. We don't have anything except for grass. It's just plain like grass. It was actually Jonathan who looked outside into the dog garden and was like, "Oh, that's weird.
There's a purple flower just in the middle of the dog garden." I was like, "No, there isn't." As you can tell, no plants, no flowers, nothing. And right over here, what's this?
purple flower. There's no other flowers like that anywhere in the garden. Like anywhere. It's just that one singular one.
Just saying.
I don't know if you believe in stuff like that, but it's pretty freaky. You have to admit. I think it's a sign from her. So, I was about to cook dinner, but Edie wants me to dry her hair >> cuz she got >> bangs and you're going to be able to see them better. And I like >> So, wait. They did see it cuz I think it was in the video, wasn't it?
>> Look, it was like not even visible. So, >> Oh, is this the new shampoo that I got?
>> Yeah.
And I use a lot of it. And I tried to get under my hair.
>> I'm not going to like straighten it like poker straight. Is that okay? You like it?
>> Yeah. I love it. Thank you.
>> Look at that.
>> Look how perfect it goes.
>> Looks so much healthier.
>> Yeah. And it was way softer as well to >> to wash. Yeah. In the shower, I got like loads of shampoo and then I got my hair and I like I like shaped it like that.
Thank you. You even have bangs out here.
See?
>> Yeah. You look so cute like that.
>> Thank you.
>> I love it.
>> So cute. OMG. Welcome to Cooking with Annie.
>> So if Ed's not cooking, she's emptying the dishwasher for me. So first thing I'm going to do, I've preheated the oven.
Going to boil my water for my potatoes and get my chicken prepped.
>> There's fresh strawberries though.
>> Yeah, but I don't want to waste.
>> Yeah.
I'm going to do 3 tablespoon of olive oil. A little bit of honey. Squeeze some lemon juice.
>> I And then I put it back in. Now I'm going to pop that into the oven for about 30 minutes at 200 C.
>> Sure. 30 minutes and we're starting now.
Okay. At this point I'm going to start making my potatoes. I need to peel boil them and then I'm going to roast them in the oven. Just peeling all of my potatoes. It just takes an age. It's turned out to be a really nice sunny evening. Potatoes are boiling on the hob for about 10 minutes and then I'm going to roast them in the oven for it usually takes about an hour. My mom is coming to visit, but she's actually not going to be staying here this time because we are in the middle of moving, which was not the plan. We were supposed to be in our new house by then.
It was all kind of up in the air.
Anyway, reason why she's coming to visit is because she has a big birthday, which she doesn't want me to talk about, but anyway, she does. She has a big birthday. What she doesn't know is that my other sister, Emma, who lives in New York, is also coming, but it's a huge surprise. She has no clue. But by the time this video goes out, she will have found out, so it's all good. Um, so that's exciting. But it has been a little bit messy just because of the delays with our house move. And then we are all going out for a meal. So I will take you along for the ride. So that should be really fun. I can't wait.
I'm so excited. I'm just so excited for her birthday and to celebrate her. I'm going to add all my veggies to the chicken. I'm just going to kind of like put them around. It's about 300 mls of stock, chicken stock.
I'm going to pour that all over the chicken. I've got white wine. I'm going to do 300 mls of white wine. I usually at this point add some peas, but I don't have enough to do this and make my dog food later in the week. So, I'm just going to leave the peas, but I'm going to add some taragon.
And then I'm going to pop this back in the oven with the potatoes for another hour. Look who joined me on the dog walk today.
>> Hi.
>> Amelia got back from her friend. Well, were you at her house or not?
>> I we went into the town and then we went >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And she wanted to join me on a dog walk as well.
So, it's really nice this evening, but it's just got really cold.
>> Are you cold?
>> No.
It was really starting to me out. I thought it was going to rain. So, I bring this massive cloak. I was like I had it in my bag cuz I cuz um my dad said, "Oh my god, like it's going to start raining and I was like >> it did look like it was going to start raining today." But >> well, yeah. And then it got super and I was >> No, it didn't.
>> It got really sunny.
>> It's been very changeable. My mom was asking what what kind of clothes she should bring. And I was like, uh, layers cuz it has been like hit or miss. Um, when it's nice, it's nice, but I'm in shorts and I'm freezing now. Roast dinner's in the oven and I've timed it so that when we get home, we can eat. We are back from our walk. I need somebody to cut the chicken for me.
>> And I shall.
>> Allesia doesn't like potatoes. Lady, >> you have loads of potatoes.
>> I have one.
>> I gave you more than one.
>> I have two.
>> Yeah, I ate one.
>> Do you want Allesia? She's >> She's offering it to you.
>> Thank you, Mom.
>> You're welcome.
>> Kitchen's clean. Dinner's done. It is so late. It's actually almost 11:00.
It's bank holiday tomorrow, so we don't have to get up early. I have two loads of laundry that I need to fold and put away.
