#763 Let me bore you to sleep - MY CHILDHOOD HOME - Jason Newland (6th NOVEMBER 2021)

Hello and welcome to the Let me bore you to sleep podcast. My name is Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

Hello everybody. How are you doing? Oh, well, I still can't hear anything. Well, I can hear stuff, but still a bit rough.

So got a cough. Coffee was born, man. Is this is going to be about how ill you are, Jason? Because I think we'll just give it a miss.

Thanks, baby. Let us know when you're going to do one when it's just a bit normal. Yeah, you know, just hear about how sickly you are all the time.

It's getting a bit bit much, really. Okay, I'll stop. Just let me know.

I just had a bit of a cough yesterday. Just my ears are still plugged up. Other than that, everything's brilliant.

Thank you. Okay, I won't moan anymore. I will be all positive.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it being negative when you're just being honest? You know, is it? Mm-hmm. Ah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is the second day in a row where I've made the let me boy to sleep in the morning. Not normally the way I do it.

Normally I do them in the evening. But I've been going to bed a bit earlier these days. And when I'm tired, I do struggle to make podcasts, I guess.

Obvious really, isn't it? I suppose if you're tired, it's a bit more difficult to do stuff. And I'd rather do a podcast. Still can't hear my voice properly.

I'd rather do one when I'm kind of a little bit alert, if you know what I mean. So let you know the stats for the month so far. This is the sixth day.

Like the 927 in the morning. And so far this month. So far this month in five days and a little bit.

140,000 165 downloads. 140,000 165. So I'm not quite on target.

Really, I intend to. I need really 200,000 a week. So, you know, I don't think I'm going to get 60,000.

Well, actually, it's possible I do get sometimes get 30,000 a day. So it's possible I could get the 200,000 by tomorrow. But I'm not going to.

I'm not going to make a big deal about it. If I do, I don't. But I need 800,000 downloads this month.

That's the target I set for myself. That's not too bad, really, is it? You know, 140,000 in five days. So what's that? Three, six, nine, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.

So it's, I don't know. It's all right. It's okay.

It's okay. Really? Yeah, it's okay. Really? Let's let's not get all excited.

This is just enjoy what it is. Okay. So, I mean, yesterday, yesterday.

Yeah. Twenty five and a half thousand day before. Twenty six and a half day before.

Thirty one and a half. Twenty six and a half before that woman. One, two, three, four, one.

Okay. And then 23, 24,000 on the first. So it's kind of.

I mean, remember what I was my target in life was to try and reach 10,000 downloads in a day. And that wasn't that long ago. You know, that was my dream.

And I think two years in a row or even three years. Remember two years ago, I was like the end of what? 2020. No, 2019, 2019.

Even I want to reach. I want to reach 10,000 by the end of the year. Like a day.

You know, maybe not every day, but just at least hit that target of 10,000 downloads in a day. And then at the end of 2020 still, I just want to reach that target. But I can't.

And I don't know how. It's just not happening. And now it's I mean, I was looking back.

I can't remember the last time I went under 10,000. I mean, on a really had a really quiet day on the 16th of October, and that was still 11 and a half thousand. It's just really now a bad day would be under, you know, sort of maybe 15,000.

Even though it's not a bad day, is it? That's 15,000 times my podcasts have been played in 24 hours. Now for a little someone a little like me, you know, I'm not a big player. I'm just a little a little teenage boy in his bedroom and making these podcasts.

Basically, kind of. That sounded creepy, didn't it? You know what I mean? I just I'm not. I'm not one of the big boys and girls out there.

I'm just a little old me pottering away. Maybe little podcasts. Hello, buddy.

Hi. You know, not trying to change the world. Just pottering along.

Yeah. So it's really weird. In contrast.

My YouTube channel. I started uploading stuff to that, you know, a little bit more. Every time I do a new podcast, I share it.

I started doing adjacent chats videos a little bit more often. And they get a few views on there. Not many.

We're really not many or did one yesterday. So 10 views did adjacent chats the day before 16 views did one. I think the day before that or a few days before that 26 views did one.

This is a 21st of October 54 views. And, you know, so I'm not getting. I don't have hardly any subscribers really on YouTube.

556. And I get one and a half thousand views a month and 286 watch time hours. So that's in a month.

1.5 thousand views. I mean, it's just compare that to. 669 thousand downloads.

Sort of in the same period such a small amount in it for the podcast. It's okay. I don't mind.

I put all my energy used to be. Well, most of my energy used to be in the YouTube videos on my previous pod my you previous YouTube videos. Now, it is just, you know, predominant podcasting and YouTube video is more.

A. A slow little build, you know, I'm just putting a few bits on there. And with the intention. An intention of making some videos.

From my podcasts. So find in a podcast. I thought was pretty good.

Let's say, you know. It could be relaxation. It could be anything and then turning that into an actual video with maybe a spiral graphic and nice video and stick that up.

And maybe some background music or something from YouTube as well. So be completely different experience from the podcast. It'll be different background music.

It will be one that YouTube. Provide a one at YouTube allows and I don't get copyrighted even though I don't use copyrighted music. I use music, which is allowed that I'm allowed to use.

But YouTube don't always. I don't always acknowledge that. The way they do it is you got to be careful and use music that they have actually said that they accept.

So that's why. That's why if anyone tries to film you in public. Not public, but you know, if you got bailiffs knocking on your door and they've got cameras and you know in a TV shows.

Start playing music. Like a Michael Jackson song out really loud. They won't be able to show that full that footage on TV.

Unless they that they won't be able to show it, but I'll have to mute the sound because they can't afford to play a Michael Jackson song or when those crappy low-budget TV shows where they're taking advantage of vulnerable people. Okay, I'll stop. Yep.

I'm getting off the soapbox now. Thank you very much. So.

I like my little podcast. I like my little podcast. It makes me happy.

Hi. So I'm looking forward to Christmas now because I'm going to have a break at Christmas. I'm going to go away.

I'm not going away going away. I'm just going to be visiting. Locally.

Well, not like this. I don't know 40 miles away 50 miles away where I'm going. And just to be near some people and so I'm going to be doing that just before Christmas.

So everything I do now between now Christmas and that's going to be it. And then my aim is to finish the recordings finish everything that I'm going to do on the 22nd of December. December.

And then. Come back on maybe the 28th or 29th of December. So I have maybe, you know, six seven days off.

I might make the Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast daily and do maybe adjacent chats video or something because it all fairness. I'm probably going to. I'm not going to be hugely stimulated when I'm away.

So I won't have any of my stuff. I'll just be. I will get a chance to get onto the beach and go for a walk and.

Even though I'll be winter still be nice just to get out, you know. Get out for a bit. So that's what I'll do there.

And maybe even go to the park is maybe give you a little what I might do. Actually, I might actually take you on a little bit of a journey of my childhood. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. I'll take on a little journey of my childhood. And because it be Christmas and because it would be that period.

There's some places I can probably get access to when it won't be anyone else around. Like maybe my old school. I like me breaking into the school.

But at least maybe if it's still there because I know they closed it. But I think the actual building is still there. So maybe take you around the back of film the front of it.

Take you around the side and into the fields behind. Provided I haven't got to climb any high gates. And that might be interesting, you know, just and also for myself.

Maybe take you to the places different places. I've lived. Not the actual inside the buildings, of course.

Well, you never know the idea. You couldn't I don't know. Can you knock on someone's door and say, oh, I lived here when I was a kid.

Do you mind if I come and have a look around and film it? I don't know. Don't know. Probably not.

Probably not. Unless, of course, I offered like I'll give you 20 quid if I can just have a little look around. Maybe.

It's possible. Or there's my childhood home. Where it's I think is a bed and breakfast now.

Excuse me. Let's have a look. It used to be.

So I nearly stayed there when my nan died. I came down for the funeral. I was going to stay in that house.

But I am it was a bed and breakfast now. There's quite a big. Quite quite a large house.

But I decided just to stay in a hotel instead because I didn't feel I could really handle. The mixed emotions of the whole thing, if you know, I mean, the idea of being in that house and then also going to that funeral, you know. So look how much is apparently the house is now worth.

Twenty eight. Two hundred and eighty two thousand six hundred and sixty seven. Houses for weird.

Yeah. OK. This is an estate agents has put this price down for that that house.

Where I think my dad bought it for something like sixteen grand in 1978, maybe twenty grand. But it was, you know, it was. By today's standards, very cheap, I guess.

However, it was a bit derelict. To be fair, it was a bit messy. Wasn't a nice.

You can just move in. It had to be not rebuilt, but everything had to be every room had to be sort of gutted and all that stuff. But so my dad bought it very, very, I guess, quite a low price considering it was three story or three.

One, two, three landings. Hi. With what? Three, four, five, six, seven bedrooms, although that included a box room.

So a standard person necessarily want to sleep in a box room, but it was big enough for a bed. And, you know, but not much else. But my little brother lived in there for a while because he was little.

But there's three bedrooms at the top. Three normal size got biggish bedrooms on the middle floor, plus the box room. Then downstairs, and there was a bathroom and a toilet upstairs as well.

Then downstairs there was a toilet and there was like two living rooms. Well, I think they used to call them drawing rooms. You have a living room and a drawing room.

And my dad knocked through to make it one big. It was still two rooms with an entrance to each room, you know. But kind of like one big room, I guess.

It depends how you look at it. And then further down the toilet. And then there was another living room or dining area room before the kitchen.

So it was quite a big garden as well. So it was a good size. It was big, you know, but it wasn't.

It was only semi-detached. So there was another house next to it. But that was, I think they let it out as flats or they sold it as flats.

But yeah, so then my dad sold it. Because the parents split up in 86. Around about like April time.

And then the house had to be sold. And then it was eventually sold. And beginning of 2000.

No, beginning of 1987. It was, I guess the money was, most of it was probably given to her. And then, but I think he sold it for something like 60 grand.

So you could say, well, that's a profit of 40 grand. In 78 to 78. Or it might be in 79.

Might be 1979. So 1979, 80, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 7 years. 40 grand in 7 years is not bad, is it really? Profit.

But, you know, my dad didn't really get much of that in the way of profit. Because he had to give, because my little brother went and lived with her. So most of the money went really pretty much to her.

As far as I'm aware. And so he sold the house. Here's the weird thing.

Okay. There is this boom. Like a housing boom in the late 80s.

Right. And I remember when my dad got another little house. They got before he got his house.

He's been in now for about 30 years. So I remember visiting him and there was. Yeah, this wooden, you know, it's.

I don't want to call them, but like a board you put on the wall and you can pin things to it. You know, like piece of paper and reminders and memos and stuff like that. Chip chipboard thing.

Anyway, he had one of those. And there was. A picture.

And it's from the newspaper and. Our house or our childhood house that he'd lost a year earlier. Was now on sale for 250 grand.

I say, yeah, probably 80. Yeah, probably about 88, 1988, maybe 89. So whenever the it was wasn't long.

Honestly, it wasn't. There wasn't. I mean, how can it go up that much from 64 grand or 66 grand to 250 grand? That's how much it was being being asked for for that house.

I mean, it was a big house. But that's how much is us for now. 30 years later, it's still only 282,000.

It's worth. It's been asked for. I mean, if you go by how much it was, then it should be worth millions, shouldn't it? Now, I would have thought a house that size would be worth at least half a million now because it's big.

It's a big, big old thing. Big garden as well. Had a driveway.

Yeah. I sort of thought it'd be worth more. I guess maybe if it had been completely detached, it would be.

I mean, it's amazing. Oh, yeah. But so it's 250 grand.

And then then a year later. Well, not long, not long after that, there was the crash. So.

The BBB. So. Crash.

Of the 80s. Black Monday. The parent October two.

No, I can't be right. Can it? No, no. That wouldn't be with it.

House crash. House prices face 1980s style crash. So now look at this.

So why did houses price crash? Nineteen eighty. It was 1989. Was it in 1988? So, yeah, it's the sort of built up leading up to about 1989.

And then suddenly, bang. House prices just dropped. But they didn't drop.

To the extent says the house is still worth double the amount. Of how it had been in 1986. OK, but half the price, half the amount it had been worth a few months earlier.

It's a bit crazy. I mean, if you buy a house for imagine you ever bought that house for 250 grand. And 30 years is still only worth 288.

That's I mean, literally, that's been negative equity for 30 years nearly. And if it's 288 now, it's never going to really go up. I mean, it might do over the next hundred years.

But it's not ever going to really rise to anything amazing, is it? And I know a lot of people buy houses for that reason, don't they? Yeah. So apparently, I mean, some prices, even. A price of a house in 1988, one hundred and five thousand.

Nineteen ninety three. It's worth seventy five thousand. Now, according to this online, it says the.

1989 was it was called the 1989 savings and loan crisis, which is the cause of the. The problems don't really understand it all completely. But then we had a similar thing in March 2007.

Not as bad, though. National home sales and prices both fell dramatically. March 2007.

The steepest, steepest plunge since 1989. But blimey. I mean, I wonder if my dad actually looked at the prices of how the price of the.

Mind you, it still would have been double the amount, wouldn't it? But I can understand why he obviously, you know, he he built the house, basically rebuilt it. With a little help from his friends, he rebuilt that place. And, you know, it should have been worth a lot more when he sold it.

Just the amount of time and the money and every room was, you know, just like he'd done loads of stuff. Quite nice. It was a nice garden and.

Yeah. Oh, well. It's the past, isn't it? It's the past.

It's a past for a reason. But I'd still like to visit it, though. I'd still like to go in there.

And I know it's not going to be the same. It's not going to look the same. But the rooms can't have moved, can they? The room is still going to be the same size.

The doorways are probably still going to be in the same places. The walls are still going to be there. The ceilings and the floors and the windows.

The windows may have changed if they put the new windows in. But the garden again. Yeah, it might change.

They might have partitioned the garden and put a rockery in there. A little pond in over there. I don't know.

Maybe the. The peach tree is gone. Not a plum tree.

The plum tree might have gone. Trees generally seem to out outlive. Outlive humans, don't they? It's a tree.

It's a big old tree. It must be 100 years old when I lived there. Which means it would be about 500 years old now.

Let's have a look. Let's have a look at an image. See if I can see an image of my house.

Of my old house. Where is it? Where is it? Come on, let's have a look. Let's have a look.

Come on. Come on then. Um.

No. No. I put that address in, but it's not coming up.

It's not coming up for some reason. I don't know why. I want it to, but it's not.

I don't understand. Come on. Give me the correct.

Come on. Give it to me, baby. Give it to me, baby.

Right. Let's see if the note. Damn you.

What is this coming up for? Oh, it's now saying it's worth 325 grand. Oh, okay. Maybe that other website was from a distance.

Oh no. Blimey. I found the exact.

The exact house. Number 98 it was. Not telling you the rest.

Wow. Last sold 2019. It's 408 grand.

That's how much it's worth. It says six bedrooms. So clearly they they can't get away with the box room being a bedroom.

So really what once my little brother moved out there into my bedroom and I moved to a different bedroom upstairs. It was always all it could be useful. Really was like a little office and I think my I think they put a lot of solarium in there or something.

And it was just big enough solarium, you know, like the something, you know, you sit in it or lay down in it. It's something one of them. So it was big enough.

I'm enough. I've lived in rooms that size. Yeah, many times.

But you can't. And I think legally are not allowed to let rooms like that out. But wow, that's cool.

It's really weird that looking at a picture of it. It looks bigger than I remember the outside. I mean, I'm going to click on it.

Oh, today's price is 438,000. All right. It was last sold July 2019 408.

Now it's worth 438,000. I wasn't wrong. Then was I said, I thought it should be about 500 grand by now.

Because it's big. It's a big house. If it was in London, if that house was in London, that sell for probably at least 1.5. If not to be honestly, the amount of the size of it.

My friend sold for 1.5 and his house wasn't as big as mine. Although his was more spacious. I was lovely and lovely house big, but it wasn't.

It didn't have nowhere near as many rooms, but it was more spacey. If you know, I mean, like the kitchen. It's just for him.

So, yeah, the kitchen and the living room is a big old area. And it's all kind of walk through and lovely, lovely house. But I reckon my had the six bedroom house.

It's a got to say six instead of seven. Now, I'm like, although technically you could have had a room downstairs as a bedroom. You know, you got a if he was going to excuse me, if he was going to have it as if you could have rent out rooms.

If you're going to rent out rooms, then you could rent out. Yeah, if you're going to have it as a as an actual rental property and rent out rooms individually. You could have one, two, three.

You could have two rooms at the bottom. You don't need a living room to if you're renting out rooms individually. So two rooms, they're all big rooms.

You'd have to seal the two and get in concrete up again. Instead of it being like one big room. So close that up.

So make two rooms to the bottom. One, two, three in the middle. So that's five.

Six, seven, eight, seven, eight rooms. However. I don't I'm not sure if the other room was big enough.

I don't know if that would be as close as a bedroom, but it was big enough for a bed and everything. So I probably lived in there. But because of the ceiling going down, I don't think it would be.

Really, it'd be fine for a child. But I don't know. I mean, if he was like my brother was quite tall, so it probably wouldn't be a problem.

He probably had to crunch down a little bit when he was there. But he was it was a kid. You know, we were all kids when we first moved in.

Little as in age. I mean, what was I? Nine, eight, eight or nine. So he was 11 and 13.

So he wasn't 11 and 13. Because two years between each of us. And my little brother was one.

I think he was still like a baby, really, when we moved in. The little brother, the little brother. Wow.

You know what? I probably. Wow. Look at this.

This property sales history has five transactions recorded with HM Land Registry. Its market value today is four hundred and thirty eight grand. The current owner bought the property in July 2019 for four hundred and eight.

19, 2020, 2021. That's not bad, is it? So they've made 30 grand equity in two years. Fifteen grand a year.

Just sitting there, just doing. I don't know what they're doing. I don't know if they're what they do with it, if they live in there or if they're renting it or what.

Ah, blimey. Oh, wow. Wow.

See, this is amazing to me. So the price went down. And the price must stay down for a long time.

Yeah. So. Late 80s, it went down to one hundred and twenty thousand or something, one hundred and thirty whatever.

The sales that they've done. The price, it was sold in twenty four for March 2000. OK, so it hadn't really increased much in 10 years.

Was sold for one hundred and forty thousand. OK, and you think, wow. They sold it, whoever bought it for one hundred and forty thousand in March 2000, sold it in August 2004.

For two hundred and fifty grand. They made one hundred and ten grand profit. That person sold it in October 2006 for two hundred and eighty seven and a half thousand.

Making thirty seven and a half grand on it. Now, then that person owned it, then sold it in 2015. For three hundred and twenty thousand.

So. What's that? Six. Twelve.

Eight years, eight years, nine years. So it didn't go much up, up much in nine years. But in.

Two years. So it went up in nine years, the same amount as it went up in two years previous. Ah.

So they sold it for three hundred and twenty thousand. And they made thirty two and a half thousand on top, you know, from what they when they purchased it. That person.

This just shows you some people really are on the ball. It's almost like they know what's going to be happening. So November 2015.

The person buys it for three twenty. In July 2019, they sell it. So what's that? Fifteen, sixty seven, eighteen.

So it's three and a half years. They sell it for four hundred and eight grand, making eighty eight grand on top. Blimey.

Now, I know it's not one hundred and ten grand, but blimey, it's still a lot, isn't it? For three years, sitting on a property for three and a half years now. I don't know. Maybe they did a lot of work on it.

You don't know, do you? They might have really, really, you know, made it really. It might have gone might have gone a little bit to pot. I don't know.

And they sort of put chucked a bit of money at it. But wow. So they've got eighty eight grand.

Out of it. Damn cough. And.

Yeah, they sold it for four hundred and eight grand. And the person who owns it now. Has made thirty grand in the last two years.

And they're still living there. So they've made seven point four percent. But that person has sold it.

They bought it in 2000 and sold it in 2004. Seventy eight percent profit. Wow.

Amazing, isn't it? Oh, there's pictures. There's pictures. Mother.

Wow. Oh, it didn't look like that when we lived there. Wow.

Oh, they put doors. They put doors between the two rooms as well. Blimey.

That's really strange, you know. Because. It never.

Well, to me, it never is very dark. So dark room. Maybe it's my memory of it.

But never seem to be letting a lot of light in. But that is a very bright room. Maybe it's photoshopped.

And. It's just weird because. From the looks of it, you see, well, it doesn't look as big as I remember.

Not that. I mean, there'd be how many of us was there? There was two, two adults and four kids. But on top of that, they'd often be grandparents as well.

Like in that room at the same time. So what's that? Five. Two.

How many? Four kids. Four, five, six people. Seven, eight, nine.

You know, sometimes eight or nine people all in the same room. But at least six. Because often we'd all just be sitting there together.

So that's that room. OK, let's look at the next room. That's the living room.

Oh, that's the inside of the front door. Wow. Blimey.

It gives nothing. It's just a door. It doesn't give any.

Does it? You know, I can't feel nostalgic. It's not gonna be the same door that was there before. Oh my goodness.

Wow. Wow. Right.

As you go into the door. I might actually, I might post this on here so you can have a look. It's not like we're ever gonna live there again.

So. This is it now. And it's got a picture of the front door.

You know, someone's obviously standing inside the front door looking. Towards the. The stairs.

But you can see on the right hand side. The. You know, the entrance to one of the doors.

You see a little bit further the entrance to the other. Other room. And in the hallway going down.

It's quite a. Narrowish kind of hallway. And I was having a flashback where my dad was standing there telling me off. It's weird, isn't it? And then that leads to.

Kitchen. Toilet on the right. And then.

The other rooms and then the kitchen. But the stairs. Is weird.

I'm gonna tell you how many steps there are. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 steps. The banister looks the same.

Exactly the same as what before. And I don't know if there's. I don't know.

I can't imagine it's a. One of those houses that you're not allowed to change. But. The floor.

We used to have carpet. Remember those days carpet. This.

Is got almost. Like marble floor. Black and white dots.

Well not dots but. Like piano kind of. Thing going on.

Which I would say makes it look bigger. Really widens the floor. Widens out.

It looks nice. I don't like. I don't know if I like it.

But it. Seems to just. It took me a bit by surprise.

I might have to have therapy for that. But it just. It's very different.

Very different. Right. Wow.

And this is the. Well this must be the other room then. Yeah it must be.

Yeah. Looking at it. It must be the room.

Yeah. Blimey. And.

That piano is not still the same piano that was there before is it. Wow. Can you imagine because.

They had a piano there. And I'm wondering if they left the piano. And whoever moved in.

In 87 or 86 or whatever. 87 yeah. For I like that piano.

I'll just keep it. And then the next 10 people that moved in and out. Decided to keep the piano.

Doesn't seem very viable but. It's there. It's still there.

And it looks exactly the same as the piano that was there before. Hmm. Hmm.

It's one of the ones that go against the wall. It's not like a grand piano because that would. Take up the whole room.

But there's a table. It's lovely really. It's a lot of.

A lot of work has gone into. Decorating this and making it nice. A lot of nice furniture.

Yes. Lovely. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 chairs and a table.

So. Just the right amount for when we was I guess. All together.

And that would that would be what we would have. You know sort of a table and chairs and. Wow.

And there's the. There's the. The fireplace.

As well so the fireplace is still there. I imagine they blocked it off but they might not. I don't know.

Very colorful. So that's the that's the room next to. The living room the one that.

They've now blocked off with a door. Ah look at that. So this is another fireplace.

It doesn't say where it is. Where it is but it's it's open. It's not blocked at all.

It's actually. Being used. Oh my goodness.

The kitchen. Now this is completely different. To.

How it was before. Completely different. Like you couldn't get more different.

It's. Wow. It looks bigger.

But then there used to be a thing across. So you go in and there'd be a. Because there's so many of us would be like. Serving the dishes.

In front of. I don't know how to explain it but. So this is all.

Looks almost open plan like you walk in and. You can see the kitchen and. And then there's the got a big.

Like a table in the middle. So I guess they use that as a. To make stuff and whatever. That's a very used kitchen.

Not that one. But when we lived there. Got baking and a lot of cooking being done.

There's the window looking out yeah. I just remember the the window being a bit. Further up the other end maybe I'm wrong.

And I wasn't wrong because there's two windows. I don't remember there being two windows. There's three windows blimey they've got.

I think they went to town if they put in. I know what they've done. I know what they've done.

I can see what they've done. Right when we moved in. Right right right right.

When we moved in there was. And anyone living there now. Listen to this.

When you're looking out the window. 40 years ago someone be sitting there doing a big poo. Because you're sitting in their former lavatory.

That's your kitchen. So when you're if you're sitting around that table in the kitchen. When you're preparing your food just remember.

That that window that bit in the right hand side. That is where people used to go to the toilet. I should help.

So basically. The kitchen was extended. To include.

The toilet. Like a toilet and what they've done is. I think they've done the same.

With the cupboard as well. So there was a toilet and then there was a cupboard. My dad extended the kitchen.

Into where the toilet was. And then put in seating. And everything like that.

So. We had no wonder we're ill all the time. Eating around.

In a toilet. But it was you know made it nice. And there was this seating area and everything.

But from what the looks of it is they've done the same thing. But they've not through. The other the other outside.

Like it was. Like a tool cupboard kind of thing. Which is the same size as the toilet.

So it looks like they've not through there. And got rid of all that seating so. And had that that whole wall.

Was now made the kitchen a lot bigger. Yeah unless they actually just did get an extension. It's very possible.

They've got an extension. Because it does look a lot bigger. That kitchen I would say looks twice the size.

Of what it was before twice. Maybe not though. Maybe it looks a lot bigger.

Than I remember. Yeah because it's got through two different pictures. One from different angles.

And now. See. I don't know what room that is.

So they're not telling me. So there's a room there. Ah.

This is the room that moves on to. Is this the room that moves into the kitchen. No.

No I can't quite tell what room that is. Well. All the other pictures have disappeared.

If I refresh the page maybe they'll come up. The internet's cut off. Really.

Why would it do that. Network. I've got unlimited data.

So it should never ever cut off ever. Thank you very much. OK.

Right now I can go back. We can go back. Yes.

Right. Let's have a look. Kitchen kitchen.

A room that I don't recognise. And another. Look at that room.

Which again I don't recognise. I don't understand. And.

So that's got storage heating and central heating. Which is unusual. You don't see that very often.

I don't think. And this. Oh I see what they've done.

They basically got this seating area where you can sit around the table. But it looks very weird to me. Right.

Now this is the bedroom. To me. I've got.

That looks like my. Parents bedroom. That's.

Yeah. That is. Pretty.

Yeah. That's my parents bedroom. Was my parents bedroom.

Not now obviously. Yeah. I'd say that because of the window.

And so blimey. Yeah. So there's that.

That was there. OK. It's just another angle of that.

Wow. How strange. There's another window.

This is the bedroom. If I can. I'd say this.

Yeah. This is the. Wow.

This is my bedroom. This is my bedroom. I'm pretty sure.

This is the one. The big bedroom I used to have. Unless it's the one down the.

Wow. They've. Honestly.

I think they've redesigned the thing. The whole place is just. Oh.

And they've got an extension. And the back as well. The garden is completely different.

Oh. It's completely different. Honestly.

It's. You know. Instead of just being like a garden.

Just a normal garden. Which you can walk through. This is.

They've. Turned it into more of like a secret garden. And little bits.

Again. I think like partitioned in a way. So that.

You don't really know where you're going to be going. But it's just loads of flowers. And I guess it's.

Always an outside view. I remember that. The little kind of courtyard at the back.

The side of the house. Which leads to the back gate. That looks.

It's kind of the same but. They're clearly like. They love their garden.

And it's a great place for a garden. Because it's a big garden. So they've made a. How many times can I say the word garden there.

In a sentence. Well. Yeah.

Now I'm surprised at this. Because the pictures have run out. But they didn't spend much time.

They've shown the bathroom. Completely different. Absolutely.

Nothing like the original bathroom. So it's. It's clearly been.

It's a long time isn't it. 86. 96.

2006. 2016. 30.

36 years or whatever. So a lot has happened. A lot of.

A lot of. Changes being made. So they've clearly.

Ripped out the kitchen. And put a new one in. Ripped out the bathroom.

Put a new one in. Looks like they've kind of done the same. With the bedrooms as well.

Because there's a bedroom here. With two beds in. And.

I can't. Even figure out which. Oh yes I do.

Blimey. That's the big room. That we used to have.

As a kids. Play group. Play room.

When we first moved in. And then eventually. My oldest brother moved in there.

Because the two. Yeah. The two.

The beams going down. Used to get in the way. When we were playing snooker.

Blimey. So that's the top of the house room. And yeah.

It's definitely big enough. For two beds. Two beds.

And that actual picture. Doesn't give the. Real size of the room.

Okay. So there's that. There's a room here.

And I can't figure out. Either that's the room. That I used to live in.

Or. That's the room. That I used to live in.

I would say. I'm not sure. They're both big windows.

I'm pretty sure mine. Had the biggest window. For some reason.

It's very light in my room. When I first moved there. They've now got it as a. An office.

It's a nice office. It looks over the garden. Very bright.

Yeah. That would do me. You know.

Wow. One of them gets together. 438 grand.

I might move in. So that other room. There.

That's. That's got to be. The end room.

And. No one. None of us.

Ever lived in there. Apart from me. For a little while.

I stayed. I slept in there. For a while.

But. The. That was a spare room.

So that was. The. That was a spare room.

In my. My. My mom's mother.

Used to stay there. So when she. When she came over.

And stayed over. She. She would sleep in that room.

But for some reason. That room looks bigger. Than my one.

On my old room. Unless that is. My old room.

And the other one. Is the one. Because they're very similar.

They're almost. In a way. Kind of identical.

But I'm sure. One was bigger than the other. And.

I would say. That. That one.

Not the one with the office. The office one. That looks about.

The right size. For. I don't know.

I. Actually. Thinking about it. Yeah.

The one on the right. The one on the right. That's.

That was my room. Because the one on the left. Looking out the window.

That is. Because the one on the right. You can see.

There's the wall. On the right hand side. Of the other house.

Now. You wouldn't see that. In the other room.

Because. It was right. On the end of the house.

It was closest. To the garden. So there wasn't anything.

Either side. Really. It was just the garden.

In front. Yeah. Okay.

So that one. On the right hand side. With the desk.

That used to be my bedroom. And. When I was in there.

It was just. There was a bed. And.

There was a kids room. You know. It didn't have.

It was nothing like that. It was bright. Yellow.

Yellow. I think it had yellow wallpaper. Then it had blue wallpaper.

Like pastel. Kind of light blue. Light with.

That wood chip. And stuff. And.

The. The room was empty. It was not empty.

It was. Like. Clutter free.

In a sense. Of. There wasn't anything in the way of the window.

Although I did have a telescope. For a while. Then on the left hand side.

There was the cupboard. And I had my stuff there. And a desk.

That pulled out. Which I never used for homework. And on the right hand side.

Maybe. Drawings. I don't know.

Perhaps a mirror. A mirror. But that was it.

Because. The. Because my room.

Was right next to the parents room. Which was. The first room.

That we looked at. Yeah. I remember that one.

Because I remember the. The window. Because it's a similar window.

To the. To the. The lounge.

Downstairs. Because it's directly. Above the lounge.

So. It had a very similar window. The.

I forget what they call them. It's a bay window. Or something like that.

Wow. Cost per square foot. 242.

242 pound. This property. Is 38 more expensive.

Than average. In this postcode. Yeah.

But it's. Probably 30% bigger. I wonder how many square foot.

It is. I don't know. It's got these.

Wow. Isn't that weird. 98.

So this. This is. The third most expensive property.

In the area. I don't know how far the area. It might only be the road.

But it's the third most expensive. Oh. I want to see what the stats are.

Like how big it is. Because some people. Might understand that stuff.

This property is 38. Yeah it has been refurbished. Fully refurbished apparently.

Oh. Wow. Isn't that interesting.

It's not is it. Has this been the most boring podcast you've ever heard. It's like well you're telling us about this but.

We can't actually see the pictures you know. We can't see the pictures. Is there any chance we can see the pictures please? Wow.

Oh, it's got adverts on it, on the page. Stop it. Oh, it annoys me.

Blimey. Anyway, that's it. I'm going to go.

It's going to take me about an hour to edit this. To edit out all the coughs. So thank you for listening.

Remember, be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy. Do something nice for yourself today. Be gentle with yourself.

Gentle. Lots of love. Bye.
