The results are finally in - Ancestry DNA

[00:00:02][music] >> Good morning, [music] guys. I'm just having a really quick breakfast.

[00:00:11]I didn't heat up milk enough for the coffee, so it's like warm, but warm to cool.

[00:00:16]I just quickly made some toast. I literally just got home from work and I quickly changed into something comfy. My mom and I are just going to go over and get a washing machine. Hopefully, we get one today. So, that's our plan this morning. We're just going to go first thing. And by first thing, I mean first thing for me.

[00:00:32]>> [laughter] >> It's still early enough, which is nice.

[00:00:34]And I like to go in the morning where it's quiet and there's like not so many people out and about.

[00:00:40]I can hear Chippy's footsteps. So, that's the only plan for today.

[00:00:44]Pending on what the washing machine situation will be, I'm then going to probably go to Sonya's and maybe do some washing there. So, I'm thinking while someone waits for the washing machine there, I'll bring my computer. I can edit. I can have a nap on the couch like while she works or whatever. I won't bother her. And then we'll see what happens cuz normally, when I have these early morning shifts in the morning like now, like I could just have a nap. I just want to sit and have a nap. But I thought if I eat something quickly, we do that and then I can always nap at Sonya's. But I thought I'd just say hello, jump on and say hi. Oh, Chippy's jumped on the couch. He's cute. Look at this cat.

[00:01:15]Just enjoying Well, there's no sun now, but there is a bit of sunshine.

[00:01:19]I just noticed him enjoying life over here. Okay, it's many, many hours later.

[00:01:24]I just got up from a bit of a nap.

[00:01:26]>> [laughter] >> My mom and I did end up getting a washing machine, which I am very happy about. We I guess we knew what we were looking for. We're still looking for a top loader. If I remember, I'll show you guys tomorrow. The great thing is, and when I say show you guys tomorrow, it means it's coming tomorrow, which is fantastic. So, I didn't end up having to go to Sonya's house to do washing there, which is fantastic cuz I was thinking, "How am I going to take all my washing there plus Chippy, plus you know, it was going to be a hassle." But I was going to have to do it anyway cuz it was pretty much mainly [snorts] it's my underwear that I need for work and it's the the whites that I haven't washed because I kind of wash them in a longer interval. It's usually a week or so. Like the colors, I wash them a little bit sooner, perhaps.

[00:02:07]However, I noticed most of my work underwear is the beige-y sort of color, so I usually wash them with my whites because I like them to be the same color as my stockings. So, if my skirt goes up, I don't know, you can't tell that much of a difference. Anyways, I didn't wash them in my last round of washing, and now the washing machine's broken.

[00:02:24]I've been That's That's my biggest stress. All right. So, they said it's going to come tomorrow. I'm just waiting for them to let us know what time tomorrow cuz I'm at work in the morning, and my mom goes usually on coffees on Saturday, but we're going to make it work because the lady said, "Oh, we we've actually got an opening for tomorrow even though it's going to be next week sometime." I was like, "Mom, you can skip your coffee. We need this washing machine."

[00:02:44]And the great thing is, so I used to get my stuff from Harvey Norman. I'm not sure if other places do this, and they probably do as well, but they take away your old appliance, and they put the new one in, and then I don't have to deal with the old one. That's what happened with our fridge, and I loved it. I don't care if they fix it and resell it and what they do. I honestly don't care. I just want it out of my hair. So, the great thing is that they will remove that old one and put a new one in. I've got to remember to tell my mom to unplug it. Anyway, we probably won't be able to use it tomorrow though anyway cuz Anyways, doesn't matter. It's still going to be there. All right. Chippy's just gone for a walk with my mom, so I'm waiting for him to come back, and then we're going to go to Sonya's. We're going to make some dinner there and spend the night there. Well, not the night, but you know, the the evening.

[00:03:25]So, we just got to my sister's house not too long ago. I'm making crunch wrap supremes for dinner, which I love, and I feel like I haven't had one in quite a while. They literally were my go-to. I used to make them at least once a month cuz >> [laughter] >> I absolutely love them, and I can't believe I've forgotten all about them.

[00:03:40]So, we're having it at Sonya's. She's stepped out to get the tortillas cuz I like using the big ones cuz then you can fit more in it and kind of close it up.

[00:03:47]She's going to get that. I've already done the meat, so then I've just got to assemble them when she comes back. This guy thinks he's going somewhere. We just got here. Actually, he was napping this whole time. Weren't you? She'll be back.

[00:03:59]She just went to the shop.

[00:04:01]You're so cute. Cooking in the dusk. All right, so here's the mince and then I've seasoned it with the taco seasoning. And if you watch my channel, you know I've made it a lot. We've got cheese.

[00:04:12]I think this is a little extra avocado.

[00:04:14]Got avocado. She's got some lettuce, sour cream, taco sauce.

[00:04:20]And I think that's everything, right?

[00:04:22]What do I normally do?

[00:04:24]Cheese on the bottom, meat on top.

[00:04:27]Avocado. I've got to like Oh, and we've got the chips for the crunch. Here's a crunch wrap supreme. My one's falling apart, so I didn't show you guys.

[00:04:35]>> [laughter] >> And then we have Sonya, which we haven't seen in a minute. Angus hasn't gone home from work yet.

[00:04:43]>> [laughter] >> On his day off last night.

[00:04:47]And we have Jimmy.

[00:04:49]Hey guys, I got home from work not too long ago, guys. Did a quick stop at Woolies and then I just popped my home clothes on and I thought I didn't want to show you all my shopping cuz that's boring. But just I got some stuff that was like I guess maybe getting it for the first time. Not really. Like I got cordial and some chippy bone stuff. However, I got my coffees.

[00:05:12]These are It is new. It's definitely not new. French vanilla latte. I mean, I used to get the little tin thing.

[00:05:20]However, I went to make a coffee this morning at work and my tin thing had gotten all hard and then I realized the last time I made a hot coffee at work was probably when it was cold last year in winter. So it was probably off anyway. So I thought sachets are probably better cuz then I can just pop a couple in my bag and every time after I've used it, I can just pop a couple more. And then there's this cinnamon scroll one, which the thing is I'm going to be taking it to work to make it. So I might write on screen at some point and if I remember if I like it, I'll probably tell you guys. If I don't, you probably won't hear from [laughter] me.

[00:05:53]Also yesterday on TikTok, I came across this What is it? A dip. It was like a kiwi dip. Now, the only reduced cream they had was this reduced fat cream. People in the comments were like, "That's the wrong cream. That's the right cream."

[00:06:08]This is the only cream they had. And then the onion soup and it even says great for dips. And it was that I don't know if you guys are on TikTok, that Christian Hull guy. He popped up on my feed and the first thing that popped up he was like, "I can't get enough of this dip." And I was like, "Oh, what is it? I want to try it." So, apparently I'm Now, look, I'm guessing this I'm probably going to have to jump on TikTok and see the exact recipe, but I think you had to just mix these two together, then refrigerate it because I guess the onions from here kind of meant to seep into here.

[00:06:37]Some people were saying it put a bit of vinegar as well, which I might do at the end. So, I was thinking maybe I could make that now. I actually got to do some washing now. Maybe I'll make that now and then I could maybe try it tonight.

[00:06:48]Oh, my battery's dying. Okay, before the battery dies, our washing machine came.

[00:06:52]So, I've got to go down and wash so I'll show you guys what it looks like.

[00:06:56]Uh mouthwash boring. I got another one of these, the MCoBeauty loose powder in the translucent. I really like it. I'm enjoying it. I'm wearing it today. So, they were I think half price or they were on sale some sort of way so I grabbed that. Nothing else exciting. I got one of these to have. And then I got garbage bags, [snorts] whatever. I got this sweet and sour sauce that I'd not seen before and I wonder if it tastes like the um the Macca's one cuz I love the Macca's sweet and sour sauce. So, I grabbed that to try. Do I have anything to try with? No.

[00:07:28]Did I get nuggets? No. Um I was It was on my list and I forget to get frozen stuff. We don't put I ended up getting some veal. Oh, I got some garbage bags.

[00:07:38]I also got butter. Actually, I also got the coffee flavor in this. This was on sale. So, I want to try that. I'm just putting in the fridge so it gets cold. I got myself a nice big little pack of butter because I want butter to be butter and I ended up getting some veal.

[00:07:50]I'm going to go take that down to my mom cuz we talked about the other day like she makes a really good veal schnitzel.

[00:07:55]So, I thought I'd grab those and then um let me do some washing and then we'll reconvene. All righty, for those of you interested, this is the brand that we got. The lady said it was the same people who made I can't remember if it was Fisher & Paykel or one of the main brands. And it's just so simple to use and I like the kind of auto bit where it detects what you have in there, which is great. And then inside it just looks like this. There's no thing in the middle here to get in the way of us washing blankets. And then it's got the filters here on the side. We've used it a few times now. This is Stanzi from the future.

[00:08:29]>> [laughter] >> We've used it a few times now and it's doing pretty good.

[00:08:34]Okay, many hours later and a charged battery later and a nap later, I'm going to make that dip. So, it's the reduced cream. I did pop it in the fridge for It's probably been there for about half an hour now. A friend of mine from work called and we were chit-chatting on the phone. We're actually going to go out tonight not tonight tomorrow night. Stanzi does not go out, but I'm going to go >> [laughter] >> So, we've organized it, which is good cuz tomorrow Well, actually tomorrow I start later, but it's a shorter shift.

[00:09:03]So, we And it's the long weekend actually. Oh, I'm at work on Monday, too, but Monday is a later shift anyway.

[00:09:10]Anyways, okay. So, as I said, we're going to pour this, the reduced fat cream. Oh, I did look it up. It Someone said either pour um lemon juice, which I don't have. I keep forgetting to buy lemons actually cuz I'm I always make like fish stuff so so often and I forget to even get freaking lemon. But someone said malt vinegar, which I don't have.

[00:09:32]I've normal vinegar, so we'll do that.

[00:09:34]All right, so we'll pop this in here.

[00:09:37]And look, I get it. It doesn't really look that appealing when you >> [laughter] >> just get in there like that. But, then it's And they said it's got to be this Maggi one. And it actually says on there, and I think I already showed you guys, kiwi dip. So, they know what's going Let me get my And by knife, I mean scissors.

[00:09:56]Oh, wait. There's a recipe on here.

[00:09:59]I could have just looked at this. Yeah, literally it says one of this with one of the cream and then add lemon juice and vinegar. And then we would need to go on TikTok to look for that. Sit it on here. All right.

[00:10:14]Also, these packets were a dollar, so I should have probably got another one, but I didn't And I cuz I was like, "What else could I use this for?" I was I think they come in handy. I'm actually going to use a fork to whisk it up cuz I feel like a fork's a good whisker.

[00:10:30]And then it just says literally just You don't even really need half an hour or so in the fridge later. Pending. I haven't really had my dinner, so I guess I could try this before dinner. It does smell nice though. Smells like French onion dip. Personally, I do like French French onion dip, so I feel like I would like this too. If you don't like French onion dip, like Sonya, Sonya's thinking that's horrible. She hates onions. And if you're new here, Sonya's my sister. She We don't put onions in stuff when when we're making it for her. She don't like onions. I love onions. All right, let me put a bit of vinegar.

[00:11:05]The good old regular plain one.

[00:11:09]I don't know. I do Do you do teaspoons?

[00:11:10]Which is actually because I don't have lemon juice, I have been putting vinegar on like my fish fingers or or fish fingers, like my fish fillet things that I've been making. And I've just been putting vinegar on them cuz as I said, >> [laughter] >> I keep forgetting to buy lemons. All right, this smells really good. And I'm not going to try it now until it's ready. Oh, and also says "Where's the lid?"

[00:11:34]I to try it with chips. So, they didn't say crackers, they actually said crinkle cut chips, my favorite. I love crinkle cut chips, so I did buy those. So, we'll be trying this later. Okay, so it's been about an hour and a half. I was just watching a movie. I'm just about to watch the JLo movie and I thought, "Actually, let's give this a try cuz look, it's set, so it's not runny or anything."

[00:11:58]Smells like French onion dip. I've got a chip.

[00:12:04]I don't know if I like the taste of it that much. Let me get another chip. All right. Okay, the second one was better.

[00:12:10]The first one feels a bit grittier, like maybe I didn't mix it properly. I like it. It does taste like a French onion dip. I mean, I don't know if it's like in how people are like, "Oh, just couldn't get enough of it." But, maybe I need to finish it and then I'll be like, "I love this." Uh I definitely will finish it. But, do I recommend giving it a try? Yeah, why not? Also, if you can't be bothered, just buy the French onion dip. I feel like it's very similar. Just starting the vlog. Someone is so eager cuz we literally just parked the car.

[00:12:34]We're going for a walk with Chip. We just come down to the beach, which we haven't been to in ages. So, yeah, let's go. All right, I'm ready to go. We're going.

[00:12:44]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> All righty, we're back and I still need a tripod the car cuz my arms are really sore. There's Chip. Chip got to be tired. I don't even know if he went for a walk with my mom this morning or not cuz she wasn't home when I got up. So, but he was walking super slow. I'm not really I was just letting him sniff everything cuz you know, it's a new area. We haven't been here. It's not a new area, but we haven't been here in months. So, I thought let him just enjoy it. Now, we're going to go home. And I don't really have much planned for the day. It's a lovely day though. And it's just such a lovely walk.

[00:13:55]You [snorts] tired, Mommy?

[00:13:57]So, we just got home. And seeing as I didn't have breakfast, I did a pit stop at Woodgate Brothers. I ended up getting some things out. It's called It's literally buttermilk. It says shake well, but I do love it. I think I've showed you guys I've gotten this before.

[00:14:12]I love that they like can it themselves.

[00:14:14]It's pretty cool. I mean, they probably home make it because my mom used to home make the buttermilk herself all the time growing up. And then I also got burek. I didn't know what I wanted. Oh, awesome.

[00:14:24]I got actually shares with my mom.

[00:14:26]Cut them into halves. So, I got one with meat and I got one with spinach and cheese. I would say meat is my favorite.

[00:14:34]This is what the spinach and cheese looks like.

[00:14:37]I also like just plain cheese, too. The meat is normally just minced meat, but it's got onions in it as well. It's super nice. Well, you can't really see the onions. They're kind of reduced down, but it's super nice. Oh, look.

[00:14:49]They even have their own I love that they're doing so much branding now, but their own little baking paper little thing. How cute is that? Okay. I love burek. I'm not that fussy. I feel like I like all of them unless something is like completely wrong. But Woodgate Brothers is probably my favorite. Also, the location, if you're in Sydney, the location falls like at the end of Rockdale going towards Brighton. And it is like on a main road. However, there's always parking you know, you can quickly jump by. There's a bus stop in front of it, which is annoying cuz you can't park exactly in front, but you you can dash in and dash out, which I like. It's not the best location if you want to sit and eat there. I'll say eat inside cuz it's nicer inside. I had Chippy with me, so we couldn't we couldn't see inside, but also outside I don't like it being on a main road, but also there was no sign. I was like, "It's going to be too cold cuz I didn't bring a jumper." But I did anyways, I just like coming home. But if you've never tried Budec, you definitely should. Wherever you are in the world, I'm sure you can find it. Uh so, I'm going to have this. Debbie's just finishing off. I swear she must clean for hours because we left ages ago with Chippy, and she's only just finishing up. I feel like we were gone forever. We had to drive to Brighton. Then by the time we did our walk, Chippy was not feeling the walk today. I don't know if I said I think I told you guys I don't know if my mom took him early this morning or not. I didn't get up late. I got up at 7:30. She wasn't home. So, if she took him, they would've gone like 6:00 or something like that. But he seemed really eager to go. But on the way like as we were walking, he was asking cuz the sun was behind us. But then as we were walking back to the car, the sun was kind of in our eyes, and he was not having a bar of that. Also, he wanted to go on the beach so bad. Oh, I have to replace the dust bag. Okay. Oh, she cleans for like more than an hour and a half. Uh yeah. So, he really wanted to go on the sand so much. I let him go a little bit, but the dog beach is further up, and I didn't go cuz a lot of the time they have bigger dogs that are off lead. And it scares me because it's been a while since Chippy and I have been to the dog park, and I don't know how comfortable he is with other dogs or how other dogs are with him. It scares me a little bit. So, we didn't end up going. So, I just wherever we could like kind of dip our feet in the sand, I let him do that, and he really liked it.

[00:17:05]All right. Time to have some breakfast because I'm starving, and then I've pretty much packed all my winter stuff.

[00:17:11]I've got a few left at the bottom of the box, so I think that's what I'm going to do this morning. And then I actually want to get some editing done. So, I was just having my breakfast and I was going through my emails, and there was an email from AncestryDNA, and I was like, "Awesome!" It said my results are in, finally, 6 months later. And I was like, "Oh, let me have a look." And I thought, "You know what? Let's do this together.

[00:17:33]Let's do this how the YouTubers do it, and they open things together, and you guys can see my reaction." Not that does it really matter, but [laughter] we can look at this together. So, I don't even know if I updated you guys, right? So, I did do the video that said, you know, sending out my AncestryDNA. I did the saliva thing and all of that, and I sent it off. Well, I didn't hear back from them for months, and I was thinking, "Why is this taking so long?"

[00:17:56]So, I asked Diana because she's done it before, and she said it took her about 3 months, did she say? I think Yeah, I think she said it took about 3 months for hers to get done. When you go on the website, on your page, there's a little thing that says, you know, "Sent your sample, received it, processing it, doing it." That and that thing had not moved at all. And I was like, "Well, wouldn't they send me something?" And I was like, "Oh, I kept getting updates from them." I'm like, "I've got nothing from them. They haven't received it, I think." And then, I don't know, but somehow I said to Di, "Can you just log in from your house in case there's something wrong with my computer?" And she did, and she was like, "Oh, they said your sample's not valid, and just to request a new kit, they'll send out a free one." And I was like, "That didn't come up on mine at all."

[00:18:38]So, what I Now, going back and remembering, I think what had happened was I remember being like lipstick or lip gloss when I did it, and I wasn't thinking, and when I shook the sample, there was a touch of like the lipstick inside it, and I think that's contaminated the sample originally. I don't know what I was thinking, like, "Why?" And I said I was going to do it first thing in the morning where I had no makeup, nothing. I don't know. I must have had like a a lip gloss on or something. But anyways, sent it off, and now it's finally ready. So, I should probably get the the ready before we got here.

[00:19:12]I'm excited to find out, but I don't know how I feel because the history of the country area region that I'm from is just so controversial, dare I say, and I don't know what I'm going to get. That's the thing cuz it's just I also feel like I wonder if there is enough people with my background heritage that would have ever that would put their stuff out there.

[00:19:38]So, how big the pool is for the people that it would get if that makes sense.

[00:19:44]Because I know they say the more people that give their samples, the more information you'll have and the more accurate it will keep getting. So, it's just a matter of you do people of my background do this and will we have some Well, I guess we'll find out. All right, let me get comfy.

[00:19:58]I don't have a desk, so I had to put my pillow here. My cousin's done this.

[00:20:03]I see her name on here.

[00:20:05]First cousin, she definitely is. I don't have any Has anyone done this? Have any of you guys done it? So, my top one says Northwestern Balkans, which is 42% of Northwestern Balkans, which to me that seems to be right because that's what I know. I've got 14% of Western Balkans, 11% Romania, 11% Southern Greece, 8% Southwestern Balkans, and 1% Slovenia. I would have thought Slovenia was part of the Balkans. Okay, so that falls under Southeastern Europe. Then there's another bracket Central and Eastern Europe, which it's got Slovakia, Northeastern Poland, and Western Ukraine. And then there's another section says Western Europe and that says Southern Germanic Europe. I'm going to click into the first one, the one that's got the most, the Northwestern Balkans, and see where that takes me.

[00:20:57]When you open that up, so this is what it looks like. It says Northwestern Balkans, and it says primarily located Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia, which all part of the former Yugoslavia, which is where my parents are from. And then it says also found in Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, and Slovenia. All right, a lot of this is going to be a lot of reading from me cuz I'm very interested in, you know, getting into the nitty-gritty.

[00:21:26]It's got me 32% parent 1 5% parent 2 27%.

[00:21:31]Who would How do you know who's parent 1 and who's parent 2? That's so cool. What other stuff can I tell you guys? I mean, you guys are probably not interested, you know, I guess you're interested in the whole sort of Uh let's see. There's a little dot that says by parent. There's a little also little title called traits, and I thought that might be interesting.
