Hello, hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

Vinnie, which you could probably hear, is tucking into... I don't even want to tell you what it is he's eating. But let's say it's a bit gross, but he loves it. It's just something that dogs like to eat.

And I just don't like to say it out loud because I just don't even like the idea that he's eating stuff like that. But he loves them so much. Loves them so much.

So, yeah, it's been an eventful day. Eventful, eventful. I've spent, what is it today? It's the Monday the 24th of August, 2026.

Two main things have happened. Well, three, it's got cold. It was cold last night.

Like, cold. Had to keep the bedclothes over me. Normally, I have at least a foot out.

I leave my foot on the carpet. I only have at least one foot out of the bedcloth. Cloth? Duvet.

Dove it. But no. No, no, no, no, no.

Couldn't have that today or last night. Very, very chilly. Indeed.

Very, very much so. I've just got to check something. I also want to say a big thank you to Lee.

Lee, I didn't thank you. Thank you, Lee, for your PayPal gift. How did I not? No, no, it wasn't Lee.

Sorry. It was Reveal. Reveal, Reveal.

I'm still not sure how to pronounce your name. So, Reveal from Arizona. Hello.

The message is, you've helped me so much the last few years, so please accept this gift. Thank you very much. I did do a thank you on the Facebook group, but I haven't sort of said it on a podcast, so I'm thanking you now.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate it. And just don't you think, thinking that I ignored the fact that you were so kind.

So, other than the weather changing and being chilly, chilly, chilly, it's still bright outside. Still a nice day. Well, I'm just going about my business.

Just doing what I'm doing. Working on a website. Getting quite excited about another day of website building because it's been going so well.

With the help of ChatGTP. And I was trying to connect ChatGPT. Well, now, what was I trying to do? I was trying to open up the website builder, which was Shopify.

The website I've got is on Shopify. So, I was trying to open it up and connect it to ChatGPT by opening it up in Chrome, which is an extension of ChatGPT. It sounds confusing because it is a little bit.

I had to follow a lot of instructions, a lot of downloading and stuff. But anyway, I got there and Shopify blocked me, locked me out of my account. And I tried everything to get back in and it wouldn't let me back in.

Now, this isn't the same as Facebook being locked out of Facebook. In a sense of that can be incredibly frustrating. Of course, it can, especially if you've got years and years of photographs and stuff like that.

And it's, you know, it's a big part of your social activities. But I'm actually paying for this service, £40 a month. And they said to me, this isn't going to by the way, this isn't going to be me moaning the whole day.

It's not. It might be. Anyway, I'm contacting, I'm getting ChatGPT to help me like find a solution to the problem.

And in the end, I contact Shopify directly. And let me read, let me read it to you. If I can find it.

Can I find it? Yeah, I can find it. So basically, I left a message. No, that's not the one.

I left a message just saying that, you know, I've got a problem. I can't get in. Got a message from Shopify.

Hi, Jason. Thank you for reaching out. I want to be straightforward with you about where things stand.

It's very firm, isn't it? It's a bit like, really? I felt like I was back at school. Maybe that's not what he meant when he said firm. I didn't say firm, did he? He said straightforward.

That's where my brain goes. The account recovering process requires a valid unexpired government issued photo ID. Oh yes, I think they tried to tell me that I needed to do that.

And my passport's expired. And that was the only photo ID I have. So, such as a passport, driver's license or national ID card.

I don't have an app. We don't really have a national ID card here as far as I'm aware. I'm not allowed to drive due to my illness, my medication and stuff.

And my passport expired just two years ago. Along with a selfie. Along with a selfie.

So you've got to do all that. Then you've just got to take a picture of yourself smiling next to a celebrity. I don't know.

And it says this is mandatory and there is no alternative document accepted in the flow. In the flow? What's that mean? Until you have a valid ID, the identity verification step cannot be completed. And account access cannot be restored through recovery.

So wait a minute. This is me talking now. They didn't.

It would sound a bit weird, wouldn't it? They said. Oh, so wait a minute. They don't ask for my ID.

They didn't ask my ID when I set up the account. And they haven't asked for my ID the last six or seven years that I've been using. It's.

I've been paying every month for the last eight years or something. If not longer. So I've not been asking for my ID before I pay them for the podcast or for the website, sorry.

Which was what, four? How many thousands of pounds is that I've given them over the years? So. Do you see what I mean? Does that make it? I think what I'm saying is logical. If they they trust in, if I'm paying the money.

Why can't they just say, well, send us a photograph or a screenshot of your bank account just to prove that you are who you are? Or why can't they send me one like. One pence or ten pence and put that into my bank. And then I can sort of with a code and I can just send them what the code is.

There's so many ways around that. Or even just a bank statement where I can actually. So, you know, a screen recorder or whatever you call it.

Edit it so the rest of the stuff's out, you know, and then just send that to them. With the name of their company and the amount of money I paid last month and then a month before. Well, actually this month as well.

So I paid on the 18th of August. So I'm not, I'm not. Yeah, I kind of the annoying thing is I've got thousands of recordings on there.

But the lucky thing is I've also got thousands of recordings on my podcast host, which is Spreaker. So that's where my stuff lives. But I like the idea of it also live in my podcast.

And then I've got a bunch of other stuff that I've been doing on another place as well. So kind of is a backup. And a website and the website is going so well.

No one else might agree, but I was really pleased with how it's coming on. It's starting to look more professional, just look nicer, is more easily manageable, manageable, searchable, more like a proper website. And it goes on here.

There is one option that could help you avoid the step entirely. Check if you saved a file called Shopify Recovery Codes.txt when you originally set up two-step authentication. Those 12-digit recovery codes can be used to log in directly without needing to go through identity verification.

I've searched, they're nowhere to be seen. I clearly didn't think that I'd have to go through this. I thought always the worst case scenario is they would just send me a message and get me to change the password, something like that, you know.

In this kind of scenario, the thing is, every time I tried to get them to come to prove who I was, they said they were supposed to, they said they were sending me a text message to my phone, and it's the right telephone number. And that should be good proof, shouldn't it? I am who I am. But it didn't come through.

And I was thinking, oh, I didn't actually do that noise, but I was thinking, well, it's not coming through. Maybe there's something wrong with my phone. So I turned the phone off, turn it on again, because I'm a professional IT expert.

And see what he's doing. He's drinking a lot of water there. But that didn't work.

And I'm thinking, oh, no, text is off. I still wasn't sure whether or not the text was working. Well, this is where I come into my next bit of news.

I have a phone call. For a second, I think I might have thought maybe it's them. But I'm not sure if I just made that bit up.

But I answered the phone, it was my doctor's surgery. I answered it way too eagerly. I didn't ring more than once, like straight away is I felt like I just, you know, the old days when you give someone your telephone number and literally the only thing you want to happen in the entire world is for that phone to ring and it be that person ringing you.

And you're so eager to answer the phone. I guess it could come across as a bit a little bit desperate. And you answer the phone.

The thing is, if you just answer your phone is quick, really quickly, it's not too bad. The probably the worst part is when you start you answer the phone and say, marry me, marry me. I love you.

I love you. Marry me. That probably, yeah, could ruin the moment.

Especially if it's before the first date. And I spoke to the doctor, it was a doctor's surgery. And they said, you had two blood tests recently.

I said, yeah, I know I was there. And they said, well, you've come, you've, you've basically diabetic. Diabetic.

You know, cause it's the first blood test. And then they added a second one just to sort of double check it and say, well, you're diabetic. So you need to have an appointment with a nurse, a diabetic nurse, and it'll be in a week's time.

I said, thank you. I said, I haven't got a pen though. So what do you want a pen for? That's not going to help you diabetes.

I said no to write down the appointment time. And she said, she laughed. She said, don't worry, we'll just text it to you.

And I'm thinking, oh no, my text isn't working. But I was wrong. It came through straight away.

That's when I realized that Shopify was not sending the texts. So I didn't really know what to do. So I'm kind of like, oh, brilliant.

I'm diabetic. We're not brilliant, but like, you know, like that's one thing to kind of focus on, but now I was getting really, I'll be honest, I was getting very, very stressed with the whole website thing. Because, you know, when I get up in the morning, I look forward to getting out of bed, which is not how I live my life in the past.

I get up with enthusiasm, even if I end up like this morning, sitting at the table. That's very noisy in the background. But that's little Will Vinnie.

He's part of the show. He's as much part of the show as I am. So I was so lovely about 20 minutes ago.

He's been grumpy today. He's been very needy and he wants to go and see his mummy who lives across the road. And I didn't realize that's what he wanted.

Because he was begging. He had his food, water, and his treat on the floor. And he was begging me, like, right at my side.

And I thought, okay, he needs a toilet. It's got to be that. There's nothing else it could be.

So I kind of move a bit quick, which I don't like to do. And he's running towards the front door. So I thought, okay, he definitely wants to go to the toilet.

Because he doesn't. He only does that when he needs a toilet. So I'm like trying to put the lead on.

He's sitting there for me to put the lead on instead of wiggling around like he normally does. And close the door, lock the door. I always lock the door, even when I'm doing something.

And I go down the stairs. I can't run down the stairs. He's practically outside the door before I even get there.

He's on the long lead. But I'm taking my time on the stairs because me and those stairs, I've got an understanding. I take it easy on the stairs and the stairs will take it easy on me.

You know, if I start trying to move quickly, the stairs will maybe do what it did to me before and trip me up. So it's a truce. I've got a truce with this staircase.

Anyway, so we go around and he pulls me towards the back door, not the front bit, the back bit to go. So I figured he's so desperate to go to the toilet, whether it's a wee-wee or a poo-poo. And we get in the garden and he just runs across the garden to get into the other door to go and see his mum.

Well, that's the only reason he'd go over there. My voice is a bit croaky today. Oh, that's better.

It's amazing, isn't it? That cleared my throat and I sound so much more peaceful. And I'm just standing there holding the lead because I never let him off the lead because we're not supposed to do that in the communal gardens. And plus, he'd just run away probably.

Well, not probably, he would. He'd just go wherever he wants to go. He wouldn't look back.

He wouldn't even think about the fact that I was there. And we've got a car park behind the building, so it's not an ideal place for him to start running around. So he didn't need the toilet, didn't, did not even need to do a wee-wee, not even a little wee-wee.

So I stand outside for a little bit. The other dog is barking a little bit as well. And then we come inside.

Now, was the dog barking? Yeah, yeah. At one point, there was no sound for a little while. There's no sound now.

I mean, we go periods when there's no barking out there. And I looked out the window and I saw that the door, the dog owner's door was closed. And I thought, at last, I can open my window.

Because, you know, I can't even touch my window handle without the dog barking. So I pushed the window open straight away. Rawr, rawr, rawr.

I was like, oh, really? And because I'd done some washing as well, so I have to have both my windows open in the bedroom, so I hang up the washing in front of the window. But anyway, he was just trying to get me to go over there. And he hasn't done that for a very long time.

Every time we go out, he tries to go there, but it's not like, it's like he was really important to him. Like it was proper, like, I don't know, like an emergency or something. So I have no idea what's going on.

He's decided to bring the, it's a pig's ear. Okay, I'll say what it is. I'm sure no vegetarians want to hear about that.

But I'm not a vegetarian, really. And I still don't like the idea of it. But it's his favourite thing.

Pretty much is his favourite thing. And he's moved it from over the other side of the road. Road, room is now right next to my feet underneath the table.

Anyway, he was grumpy, he was sitting in the hallway, wouldn't come in there. And every time I was getting my breakfast ready, my second breakfast ready. He was running, he was in there.

And I say, stay there. I went to the kitchen. Every time I came out of the kitchen.

Because I was doing different things. He was in the bedroom again. He said, go off the bed in there.

And I go to the bathroom, come out, he's back on the bed again. So off the bed, Vinnie in the living room, come on. Again.

He just, every time I took my eyes off him. Like every time I kind of closed my eyes spun around like Wonder Woman for about 10 seconds. He was back on the bed.

And yes, I was seeing stars, just like Wonder Woman. Here's a question. And this is for Wonder Woman fans, right from the original TV show of the 70s.

And you don't have to be old to appreciate that show. Appreciate, appreciate, that's a mumble of any age, really. I mean, it's old in a sense of you're not going to see any mobile phones.

And it's definitely like 70s, late 70s, early 80s kind of American TV show, which is what I loved watching. They're very, very popular in the UK. I don't know how popular they were in America, but I would imagine they were very popular.

And it was Saturday night viewing. It was early Saturday, like late afternoon viewing. I think Wonder Woman was probably about six.

The A-Team would probably be on about seven. Or maybe Wonder Woman was on at five. I can't remember.

I could probably get the listings up actually if I really looked hard. I could probably find the like an old TV guide, the TV Times or the Radio Times from 1978, 1979. Yeah, probably could.

I think I've done that before. I think I have, you know. Hmm.

I mean, with AI, I could probably search a bit more deeper than I could normally with a general kind of Google search. It'd be a more kind of thorough, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep search. Even if it's just a photograph of a magazine or something, because people collect stuff, don't they? Some people possibly, I don't collect anything anymore.

I used to. And I used to, I used to collect rejections, but I stopped that. I ran out of space.

And I quite like that. It's quite funny. I don't know why it's not.

It's sad. I used to. I used to collect the Looking Magazine and the Dandy comic.

And I do feel very fond because those times that I was living in that house. Well, not just that house, but I was also collecting them in the big house we moved to. But I'd never had a comic before until I met my dad and my first stepmom.

I don't think I'd ever even seen a comic until I was nearly seven. And my nanny waker, I think she was my nan's. She's either my nan or my granddad's mother.

I think she was my nan's mother. I'm not a million percent. I think she was.

So we used to go to London. So my dad lived in East Angular. We go to London.

I lived in Southend at the time in a children's home. St Nazareth house, a big white building. Search it online.

You'll see I'm not all lying. And can you imagine? Yeah, that's that Jason. Yeah, he brags about living in a in a big, white, massive house with a bunch of nuns.

It's always bragging. Yeah, that's a brag, isn't it? And I actually went there in 1991 on my own and I went again in 1996 with. Actually, I went in 1996 with my girlfriend and I went back in 2006 with another girlfriend.

Now, 2006, my then girlfriend actually lived in Southend and we went in and walked around and stuff. It was freaky. We went in in 1990, 1996 with my girlfriend at the time, not the same person.

And we went inside and had a little look. The rooms are not as big as I remember them, but the building is just as big, if not even bigger. It was a huge building, massive.

But, you know, bearing in mind, I was I left there just before I was seven years old. And the height wise, what would I have been about two foot tall? Two and a half foot. Probably weighed about two kilos, you know, I was.

I was pretty little. Everything, you know, my feet wouldn't have touched the ground. But when I walked, they did.

But I'm talking about when I was sitting down. It'd be a bit weird to walk without your feet touching the ground, wouldn't it? That used to be a threat that adults used to make. Oh, you'll do this, whatever.

I'll make you walk so fast, your feet won't touch the ground. No, I mean, if that was possible, I'd basically be a superhero, wouldn't I? It's what I never said, you know. I used to wonder about that when I was a kid.

I'd hear adults talking. I suppose really the adults I'm really focusing on would be parents. And teachers.

That's probably it. My granddad hardly ever said a word. Or that I heard him say.

And my nan, she was just both to be. Yeah, my nan, my nanny knew land. She was always lovely.

Always pleased to see me. Well, she seemed pleased to see me. You know, I could turn up any time and she never put her out.

She, I mean, I never tested that. I never turned up at three in the morning dressed as a clown, drunk. I didn't like push the boundaries to see whether or not she'd still accept me then.

You know, there was never any incidents when I did that. And she was, you know, slammed the door in my face and she was calling the police. And I'm saying, I just want to be loved.

I just want to be accepted. Unconditional love. Nothing.

That didn't happen. And something that I don't mention very often. Maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't.

Maybe, you know, some would argue, perhaps I should never mention anyone from the past, but I don't really say anything bad about anyone. It's just, just things, isn't it? My step mum's mother. You wonder what I'm going to say next.

And possibly me and her were very, very close. Very close. And as a kid, probably between the ages of seven and 15, 14, seven and 14.

Possibly closer than my nan, my nan in Newland. Probably because I saw her more often. She spent a lot more time in the house and she used to stay over a lot.

She was a moaner. She liked to moan, but then I quite liked that. I like to have a little moan as well.

So, and she used to come out with some wild stuff. Just, just absolutely ridiculous stories. And it was funny.

And, but it's very good at communication. And I quite like being around people like that. Because even though perhaps I wasn't necessarily good at communicating, I just, I think what it was is, if I found someone that I could be with, without it sounding weird, what I meant by be with, I mean, I felt comfortable with her, talking to her.

And I probably had deeper, well I did, I definitely had deeper conversations with her than I ever had with my real grandmother. Up to that point. Now, once I got to that point, when I left school, I had loads of very, very deep, serious conversations with my nanny Newland.

But as a kid, I didn't. And, but part of that is because I think my granddad was always there and I don't think she was censoring herself, but it was, it was hard to kind of relax around him. Because he was, he spent a lot of his life in the army and he was very, I don't know, just very, I would say uptight.

But that's probably not the right word. Discipline is probably the correct word. Because again, I don't want to say anything bad.

I just, he was very, he was strict and a really, really good man. And I didn't want to be like him, but I really wanted to be like him, if that makes any sense. I liked the idea of being tidy.

He was always immaculate, dressed, always. And really good looking bloke as well. Looked like Clark Gable.

And so I didn't take after him there. And he was a boxer. He was like a champion boxer when he was a kid, which I really admired.

And he'd raised a family and he was like, he's very successful. He survived the Second World War. You know, all these things.

And he was respected. You know, it's like he just had an air of, I don't want to say commanding respect, but people just seemed to respect him. Generally.

He wasn't someone, I don't know how to explain it. He just, he's a nice person. And I admired that.

The thing I didn't want to be like him, well, actually, it's not totally true. I kind of didn't want to be, in some ways I did, in some ways I didn't. I didn't want to be that silent person that wasn't able to express my personality.

Now, I don't know what he was like when there's no one else around. I mean, literally, he'd be quiet, sit there even during parties, during birthday celebrations, Christmas and everything. But I don't know, as soon as we all left his house, you know, I mean, I'm not saying that he would have dressed up in bondage gear and stuff.

But what I'm saying is, he might have been a lot more outgoing. He might have been like really kind of chatty with his, with my Nan. And who knows, you don't know, they might have had a really good time together, laughing, making fun of all the family members.

You see what Jason was wearing. I can't believe he turned up in that jumper you made him. He could hardly breathe.

His face was blue. My Nan would be laughing. No, I can't believe it.

I think I accidentally made the next really, really small one. Those Christmas jumpers make me laugh. So he might have been a real kind of outgoing person at work when he was working.

Who knows when he was with his friends. But I never saw that side of him. So the degree of like uptightness there that I that was my kind of opinion.

I didn't really want to be like that. Because that's not really me. But in the same way, if I'd have had, if I was 1% of what he was, my life would have been different, a lot better.

With that discipline, with that respect, a lot of respect, not just for himself, but for other people. I think I'm fairly respectful now, but I haven't necessarily always been. He wasn't chaotic.

He didn't have, well, as far as I'm aware, he didn't have a chaotic mind. There's no way of knowing what's going on in someone else's mind, is there? But because sometimes I would be like that. But that was when I was well, down, like depressed or whatever, you know.

My Nan was so bubbly, so full of energy, laughing and just really, you know, completely different to my Granddad. But she adored him, absolutely adored him. And she was a family woman, you know, her whole life was based around her family.

I mean, her best friend was, I think it was my Granddad's sister. That was one of her best friends. They used to go out together, go swimming and stuff.

Why am I talking about my, oh yeah, I got on really well with my step-mum's mum, my step-grandmother. And I seem to forget that, because after living with her for, what, 10 months, we never spoke again. We didn't like each other.

That's putting it mildly, we didn't get on. We didn't see eye to eye. And she moved away.

I stayed where I was living, well, I stayed in that town. And then I did see her once. I visited and I saw her.

I think she moved into an old person's home, I think. But she lived to nearly 100. And I remember her saying to me, because, you know, I didn't feel negative towards her in that moment, I saw her.

But I did do for many years, just generally for that experience, because it was awful of living with her. And she said to me, Jason, I hate you. No, she didn't.

She said, put money aside. Be careful with your money. That's what she said to me.

I was 16. Yeah, I was 16 at the time. Like, for me, it was like, yeah, yeah, what money? Because I didn't have any.

Just like now, really. I just like, I didn't, be careful with the money you don't have. And I'm thinking about it, if I'd have saved one pound a week, for my entire working life, how much would that be? If you work it out? So how many years have I been working? Since 1986? Until 2000? Oh, it's like that every year since then, just a pound a week.

It's up to now. So 86, 96, 2006, 16, 26, that's 40 years. So 40 times by 52, I would have 2080 pound.

That's just one little pound coin. I'd have 2080 pound instead of 60 pound, which is I've got, I've got in the bank, I think. So 2080, just for a pound a year.

Now, I can't really start that journey now, can I? Because I'm 56 in two days time. So 56, 66, 76, 86, 96. It's possible, and I hope, because I want to be alive for a long time.

I do, genuinely. It's, you know, it's like, my friend downstairs, he used to say to me, oh, he would say, I remember he was saying once, like, oh, just your clinging on, you just want to be alive. Like, it's a bad thing.

Like, yeah. What's wrong with wanting to be alive? Of course I want to live a long life. Yeah, I do.

I like being alive. I do. I mean, it's got to be better than the alternative.

And I don't really have anything to compare it with. But I want to be, you know, if I can get to 96, that's when my Nan, my Nanny Newland left, when she was 96. So it's 40 years before I'm her age.

And she was loved. Now, I'm not going to have that. I'm not going to be loved at that age by a big family because I haven't, I haven't inseminated anyone.

I have not spread my seed. So I don't have children or grandchildren or great grandchildren. I don't have any of that stuff.

I didn't marry into someone else's family, which is another way of doing it, isn't it? So, like my dad did that, he married and now he's got grandkids. We've been married for blimey, 30, 35 years now. So, but they're his grandkids.

You know, it's not about blood really, is it? It's, when I was a kid, I used to think that, oh, it's blood relatives, that's important. But actually, although it is, it can be important, but especially if you need a transplant, but love's love, isn't it? I mean, I remember I was dating someone in 1995, near the end of the year. And I went away to Butlins to work because I was basically homeless.

I needed to, I needed somewhere to live. And she didn't seem to want me to live with her for some reason. And apparently, she didn't enjoy something like picking my nose in bed.

It's like, well, what else am I supposed to do? She said, but can you flick it away from me? Okay. Sometimes, I didn't think she was into me, you know. But she had a little boy who was still a baby.

I don't think he was even a year old. He wasn't even, he wasn't walking yet. And he went, and we just we bonded.

He connected, he really bonded really strongly with me. Which was the first time that ever happened. It was a really strong bond.

Like I was, it would have made no, he didn't know that I wasn't his dad. That's what I mean. I don't think he cared.

He, I knew he loved me. Because he'd see me quite a lot. And he really bonded.

I don't know how it happened so quick. But there was a time when I was at Butlins and I got a phone call from my girlfriend's dad saying that he was in hospital. He'd had an asthma attack.

So I come back to London. And as soon as I walk into the ward, the little boy, little baby just puts his arms out to me to pick him up. Now I realise, you know, maybe every kid does that.

And it's not a big deal. But it felt like a big deal. Like he was waiting for me to come.

And as soon as I got there, he brightened up. And she'd been with him, his mum had been with him all day. And I think all the previous night.

So I said, go home. And I'll tell her to go home. But if you go home, I'll stay with him all night tonight, which I did.

And she came back the next morning, or the next day, whatever, was it a week later, but she came back eventually. And told me she'd met someone else. Now, but she said, like, we really bonded.

It's a really kind of a close bond. That's when I realised that actually, you can, someone could be your son or your daughter or your parent or whatever, without it being like a blood relative. I mean, that happens in places like, in the forces, doesn't it? People like got, they think of each other as brothers, or sisters, brothers in arms, is it what they used to call it?

Because of what they've been through together.

And my friend downstairs, he, because he had a big family, big, large Irish family. He grew up with his cousins. And his cousins were pretty much like brothers to him.

Just as close as a brother. Yeah. So the diabetes.

So I've got an appointment next week. And I don't really know what they're gonna do. I suppose, I don't know, put me on tablets.

But I'm not like high level. You know, I'm not super duper. I don't know what the right word is.

But if I'd save £10 a week for 40 years, that'd be £20. £20, £20,000. That doesn't sound right.

You think there'd be more wouldn't you? No, because £1,000 a year. Sorry. £20 a week is £1,000 a year.

So £10 a week is £500 a year. So £500, £1,000, £500, £2,000. So yeah, 40 years will be £2,000.

Not £2,000. £20,000. Yeah, so one year, 10 years would be £10,000.

No, 10 years would be £5,000 because one year would be £500. 10 years would be £5,000. 20 years would be £10,000.

30 years would be £15,000. No, £5,000, £10,000, £15,000 and £20,000 for the fourth year, or the 40th year. If I'd saved £100, which the thing is, it's just ridiculous to say that because it's never been possible.

I mean, there's been periods when I could have saved £100 a week, but those periods were very rare. In fact, actually, at no time really did I have £100 to save a week, even when I was working, even with my... No, I mean, the most I ever earned in a year was £25,000. And that's before tax, of course.

So putting away £400 a month would not... Yeah, after paying rent and food and living expenses and clothes and all that stuff, I wouldn't have had £400 a month to put in the bank. Unless I lived very frugally, then maybe I could have done, which would have been pretty cool because that's £5,000 a year. Imagine £5,000 a year for 40 years.

So £5,000 a year for 10 years is 50. 20 years, 100. 30 years, 100 and 1, 2, 3, 50.

And 40 years would be £200,000. So £100 a week for 40 years is £200,000. But I never really, you know... Okay, when I first started working, my first wage was £60 a week, and then I went on to the YTS where it was £27 a week.

That's the opposite of how it really should go. It should go upwards, shouldn't it? As you progress, mine went down. The only really kind of proper jobs I had, or actually what I would class as a proper job, was the first one.

Okay, I worked in the co-ops, I guess that was a proper job, but I was earning about £65 a week. Very bad money. And so half my money was going on rent.

And then I worked, probably the first, what I would class as a second proper job. So I had a lot of jobs that didn't last very long, where I was sacked or I walked out, or agency work, or temporary, part-time, you know. So the first job, full-time job, I'm not going to include the chip shop, because the fact that I wasn't getting paid proper money meant it wasn't a proper job.

You know, unless you get paid a wage, a livable wage, then it's not a real job, is it? Unless you're doing it as voluntary, and you love being there and stuff, and you're doing it for the fun, or because you want to help people, then yeah, it's a proper job. But if that's not the case, then I don't think, just my personal opinion, is, or if you're training, that's a different thing.

You know, if you're an apprentice, of course it's a proper job.

If you're an apprentice to become a plumber, or builder, or tiler, or you know, whatever, a tradesman, woman, then yeah, it's a proper job, even if you're only getting paid a small amount of money, because you're training. So yeah, I'm not putting people down, because that's what I was supposed to be doing. The YTS was a replacement, or a substitute, for apprenticeships.

But they got away with it, because there's no way in the world you would get an apprenticeship working in a chip shop. It's just not, it wouldn't happen, would it? It's basically companies taking advantage of the system, because they got paid. They, apart from, not only did they, that £26, I think most of it came from the government.

So don't think that my boss has to pay me hardly a penny. Seriously, it's like he was getting paid to take me on, because they wanted to get people off of the unemployment. Because at that time, because this was 1986, the unemployment rate in the UK was huge.

Like in like, building up, I think about 84, because I was still at school, so it didn't kind of affect me, I suppose. But I remember seeing it at like 82, 83, 84. You know, it was a lot of unemployment.

So the government came up with that scheme of like, well, let's get people back to work. Get companies and shops and little businesses, pay them to take someone on, and pretend that person's going to get a meaningful qualification and meaningful training out of it. And some people did, to be honest.

I know people, two people with chefs, one was a butcher. So they did, they actually did actually come out of it with the training, go to college once, once a week or whatever, but work the rest of the time in the job. Two became chefs.

One, as I said, became a butcher. Oh, yeah, I knew someone that was a, he worked and he was an electrician. But he worked in a company and became an electrician as part of their thing.

And so this, this, I can't partly make that bit up. But I remember someone did do that. But I don't know if that was on the YTS or not.

The Youth Training Scheme. It was a Margaret Thatcher invention, I think. And it brought down the unemployment numbers by a lot.

Because it kind of, although it was, it was optional. But it got to a point where it's hard to get a job without going on it. Because why would, why would they pay £60 a week to someone if they can pretty much pay them nothing as part of that scheme? It makes no sense, would it? So, yeah, a lot of places had the YM, the YTS.

A lot of companies and little businesses took advantage of it. And so yeah, I did that. So I don't class that as a proper job, just because of that.

Working in a chip shop, it's not, I'm not saying that's not a proper job, but I wasn't getting paid like a wage. So that's not, it definitely wasn't a charity. So well, I did get free burgers.

That was good. Give it, my boss was really good at frying. I think I was good, but he was better than me.

He was really good. Like he made the best burgers. We were all good, though, because he taught me, but also the lady that was there when I first started, and I think she worked for him for about 100 years.

She was really good as well. So she could do, she could do everything. She'd just been there for so long.

There wasn't anything she couldn't do. I think handstands would have been difficult, but other than that, I fancied her a little bit. She was quite a bit older than me, and which didn't bother me because when I was young, when I was 16, I'd happily date someone 30.

I would happily date someone who was 30. No one of 30 would happily have dated me. And I, obviously, if you live in a country, what do you mean 16? In the UK, 16 is the the age where pretty much you can do anything except you can't drive a car.

17, you can drive a car. You can get married. You can't have a mortgage, but you can pay tax, and you can have a baby.

You can live together. You can pay rent. You can work full time.

You can go to prison, all that stuff. You know, it's available for you, depending on your life choices. I think really the rule should just be basically, if you're old enough to pay tax, and then everything else is there.

If you're old enough to pay tax, and if you're earning enough to pay tax, because I didn't. I didn't earn enough when I was 16 to pay any tax. I don't think I started paying tax until I was 18.

And even then it was like pennies, like a few quid a week. Is this Monday's boring objects? That's the question. Is it? Because I know I'm supposed to do that, but never mind.

I'll just do it. Just have it be what it is. We haven't got to put labels on it.

The amount of times I've heard that in the past from ladies, that I was sort of saying, you know, I used to go out with some women in the past and like, are we in a relationship? I just didn't know. It's so vague. The amount of times I heard like, who are you? Why are you looking through my window? Now, the amount of times I heard them saying, we've got to put a label on it, do we?

Just let it be what it is.

I said, no, on this occasion, I'd like a label. So the amount of times, I've seen funny sketches and shows and stuff. I saw one on Frasier, well not a sketch, but an episode where he met someone and he was dating her and he was having lunch with her or an evening meal with her.

And he literally did not know whether or not she liked him, didn't know if he was on a date with her or anything. And it was just, I found it so funny because I've been in that situation a few times, especially around the Buddhists. It really, it happened to me.

And there was this lady, I really liked her, like as a person, she had the best voice. I'm quite into voices, not the ones in my head, but you know, I like a female voice, just she had, I don't know what it was, but she had, apart from the fact she's very, I liked the way she looked, I liked the way she sounded, I liked her personality.

I knew her vaguely from the Buddhist center.

This was, we're going back a long time and we met up in town and just went for a drink. Just like, oh, do you want to go for a drink? Yeah, I'll go for a drink. That's, that's how she sounded.

I told you she had a nice voice. And I said to her, so what are you up to? She said, no, nothing much, just thought I'd go into town. And I'm like, it was so hard to concentrate because it was just so magnetic, so hypnotic, uh, sensual, her voice, the tone.

I said, do you want another drink? And she said, no, I don't want another drink, thanks. I'm already full up, I'm bursting. I think I need to go and do a big poo in a minute.

I was just like, it's like the woman of my dreams, just the class, you know? Anyway, um, I really liked her. She was nice. And I kind of messed up a little bit, but everything went in the wrong order.

I invited her to come to, I think it was Guy Fawkes party. I think it was November. It might have just been a gathering at our community where I used to live.

Might have just been a gathering and there was a bonfire, just happened to be there. There was a little party, just a gathering. And I invited her.

That same day on the Saturday, so I invited her during the week. That, and it was, it wasn't anything relationshipy at all. That same morning on a Saturday morning before the party in the aft, like late evening, early evening, whenever, I met someone at the Buddhist center, like someone that I'd never met before.

And I just said, Oh, do you want to come to the, we hit it off. I liked her. And I said, do you want to come to the party tonight? And she said, yeah, she jumped up and down.

Very excited. I said, that's nice. You're excited.

She said, I'm excited. I can't sit still. I'm so excited.

I said, I can tell that, but can you stop tapping my head? Like it's not a drum. She giggled, let out a little bit of wee, you know, just normal stuff. So there was something, definitely a bit of chemistry there.

And, but I wasn't sure, but I was like, no, I thought nothing about the first person I invited because I didn't think she even liked me. I liked her, but I didn't think she liked me. So I just like, okay, she's going to be a friend.

I forgot all about her. So this new person came along to the party. I don't know if you can hear the doggy in the background.

It's been a little bit quieter today. The sleeping dart I shot it with wore off after a while. No, no, they haven't arrived yet.

Still waiting for them in the post. So I was, I was going to get a blow torch, blowpipe is it they call them? Yeah, I don't know. Should I dress up as a hedge? I just, I don't know.

It's hard to plan these things. So I, what's her name? The one I just met on the day she turned up. And then the other one, I can't remember either of their names.

She turned up. I was like, oh, hello. Because I didn't expect her to show.

I was just like, it's an open invite. We're having a thing this weekend. Come along if you want.

See ya. And she said, okay, well, I might see you. We'll see.

I was like, okay. You know, I didn't know she was going to turn up or not. I just like listening to her.

I felt a little bit awkward because she was sitting there. The one that I'm for. Okay.

There's two I invited. So the one, one, she had a kind of weird voice. She was like, hi, Jason.

So did you, thank you for inviting me. So that, that was, that made my ears itch a little bit. And I was like, but then there was, that was the, but she was nice.

But that was the one that I met on the day. Then there's a one with a really nice voice. Jason, where's the toilet? I left some skid marks in the sink.

So it's kind of okay. This has got, this has taken a very weird turn. Um, that's what she said.

And I didn't realize it was so bendy. And I didn't expect that. So my, what's her name? The one I've met first, like in the morning, mother.

She ended up being my girlfriend for a little while. I didn't know that the other one liked me. Clueless.

And I didn't find out for ages. And the fact is she never forgave me. So nothing ever happened between us, but we did go out.

Very strange situation. So she's sitting around the, the fireplace around the, um, whatever you want to call it, bonfire. And I figured, well, she knows people, she'll be chatting to them, but she was sitting on her own.

And I was trying to chat up my future girlfriend who she, you know, we did end up dating and stuff for a couple of months. Well, till January, anyway, early January, 96, 2006. Sorry.

I have to have some water. My voice is becoming too sexy. Finny, he did something he doesn't normally do.

So I'm laying on a settee. Well, now I've got the, I'm in a chair and I've got the recliner thing up. Normally he just lays on his stomach, looks to the TV, you know, and maybe sleeps on his side.

But this time he actually slept on his back. He never does that. Not near me.

He does it sometimes. He does it on the bed. He does it on the floor sometimes, but he literally was like, oh, so nice.

And then I kind of moved and he woke up and I think I stroked him, stroked his chest and he kind of woke up like, what are you doing? What are you doing? But then he moved further up towards me and cuddled right into me. Like, like curled in, but proper cuddled into me. And it's only taken four years, but it felt quite nice.

It's like, okay. I sometimes wonder if what he wants more than anything is affection, but he can't, he struggles to give it to me. He gives it to everybody else.

He goes way over the top, loves everybody, hugs, kisses, everything. Very excited. Doesn't do that with me.

I understand, you know, he's not going to get excited because he's with me all the time, but I think he, what he really wants to do is get on my lap and snuggle up, but it's suddenly stopping him. I don't know if it's the cactus that I have on my lap or, I don't know, the baseball bat I just hit him with every time he comes near me.

I don't know what it is, but he did get on my lap a while back, I think a couple of weeks ago and actually lay down on my lap, which is pretty much the first time he ever did that since he first moved in.

Because when he first moved in, he was trying to find a place to sit. So I was in a chair, he'd like get onto the chair next to me. At one point, he got onto the headrest behind me and was laying down, trying to find a good place to rest.

He got on my lap, then he got off and then, you know, and he settled with being right next to me. Sometimes he goes further up, so he's more on the leg rest and other times he's right close to me, but always facing the TV, usually. So I date this lady, the one that I met at the centre on the same day as the party.

And we dated for to the beginning of January. And then we split up. And I met the other one, per chance, probably just at the centre.

And we were just chatting and she, we arranged to go out. So we went to have a meal at an Indian restaurant. And she told me how she felt about when she was invited over.

And I pretty much ignored her. And it's like, well, I didn't really ignore you. I did say hello.

But it's quite hard to do that and chat up your sister at the same time. No, it was very hard to, because I just, I thought she would do what all the other Buddhist people do, and it's just ignoring me. Because that's whatever always used to happen.

You know, I had a birthday party once, I invited all these people that I knew. Some of the people I didn't know came along. And they all talked to each other.

They said hello to me. Some of these people I would meet up for lunch and I was quite good friends with them, completely ignored me on that night. They just like too busy talking to each other, catching up.

That's when I realised that I'm not a big fan of Buddhist birthday parties. Of course, I'm generalising. But anyway, we went to a restaurant, Indian restaurant.

So we're getting on really well. And she like pulls it out of the bag. She says, look at this.

And I said, look, I didn't appreciate being invited to a party where I was ignored. And I told her the whole birthday party thing. She said, well, that's bad.

But, you know, you're at home, you could have gone upstairs and watch television. I said on my birthday. She said, well, yeah, you could have gone to bed.

What was I supposed to do? I said, well, you could have gone home. She said, I did go home. Oh, sorry.

I did go home. And she invited me out again. So she invited me out and to some live music.

And she was dressed. If you want to say, what's the word? Dressed to impress. And I still did not know where I stood.

Because I thought, you know, I liked her. She liked me. She was invited me out.

I apologised for pouring custard over her head at the party. I'll mention that bit. You know, so I, you know, I apologised for the party.

You had a misunderstanding in. You know, she said, is there any lemonade left? And I thought, she said, can you please hide my shoes? See, misunderstandings happen all the time. So we're at this gig.

It's like in a pub and it's, there's live music, it's like rock and roll or something. And she's dressed really nice. Like, I fancied her anyway.

I really fancied her. She like, she's wanted, she didn't really need to do anything to make herself attractive to me. But on this occasion, she went, well, she clearly went all out and was like, wow, it's like a different person.

That's the good thing about it. If you, if you get someone, that looks really different with and without makeup, it's like you're marrying, you're marrying sisters. It's brilliant.

No, I don't know why that, that's what my dad said. So, um, or husbands, you know, work both ways, I suppose. Even if it was acceptable, I still wouldn't wear makeup.

Not like in the position I'm in now. Because the thing with makeup, you can tell. I know that there are reasons to wear makeup and I'm very much, um, accepting, you know, I don't care what people do, but I could look so much better if I wore makeup.

I don't mean like eyeliner and lipstick and blush. And I don't think blush, do I? My whole face is pink. And I quite like to go down the Japanese route of like, whitening my face, you know, like really white.

Because I'm not white. You can't say that. I'm generally not.

I'm pink. I don't have, I've got, my skin is too pale to be white. I literally, I can burn in the winter.

In the winter sun can burn me. Yeah, that happens a lot when people are skiing. But not when you're walking in the park, in London, you know, it's a bit different, you know, different, if you're high up, you're closer to the sun, isn't you? The sun's a lot lower when you're on a mountain, a mountain.

So, and I still didn't know what was going on with her. Like, do you like me? Do you not like me? And at one point we're sitting, we're having a rest from, I think she's trying to get me to dance. But we're having a rest from that.

And a woman, another lady walks in, and she's got like a bodice on. Is it a bodice? It was very revealing. And I looked.

And she said, Oh, you like that then, dear? I said, I didn't know what to say. That attracts you, does it? I think, well, are you jealous? We're not in a relationship. Are you jealous? What's going on here? I don't understand.

And she got annoyed with me. And it was almost like she was looking for a way to get me back for not being a good host. Which admittedly, I guess I wasn't, was I? But I don't know how to host.

It's rules. I don't know what the rules are. The rules keep changing.

So, yeah, anyway, she, I think she ended up saying that she was moving away. And she did. But there's been very few ladies I've met in my life that I could actually sort of see a future with.

And she was one of them. Perhaps I should have told her that. But I really, really liked her.

I like spending time with her. And, yeah, she was also being flirty with me. Like when we was listening to the music, she was dancing and she started talking about, well, talking about herself and body parts and just being saucy and flirty and it was nice.

But I still wasn't sure if she was, if she liked me, or if she was just like that because she had a couple of drinks. Maybe she was like that normally. Maybe she was like that normally when she went out, even if she didn't drink.

I didn't know. And then, yeah, she moved away to do, I don't know if she joined a nunnery or something. I don't know.

She went away anyway. Anyway, went away. I really wanted to tell her that I liked her.

Actually, probably not, that wouldn't have been the best words, but I want to let you know that I used to like you. No, I mean that I like, I like you. There was another person I really liked.

I've been thinking about her recently. It's someone that I knew when I was a counsellor. And we got on so well.

I just like being in the same room, in the same space. When everyone's in the same room as though we always seem to, not collide, because that'd be weird, wouldn't it? People would notice that, wouldn't they? Why do you keep banging into each other? But we always used to end up sort of sitting or standing next to each other and talking. It was very, very comfortable.

And I would say that we were very close. Actually, it felt close. But yeah, nothing happened there either.

And then, there was a time I married Angelie Joan Lee. I nearly married her. Well, she didn't answer the phone.

But you know, I'm not 100% sure it was actually her phone number. But undoubtedly, if I'd have got through to the phone, it would have ended up in romance, of course. So, oh, I was talking about my website.

ChatGPT has already built my new website. Believe it or not, already built the new website. And it's going to be launched on the 18th of September when the other one runs out.

So in the meantime, if you want to download as many as you can, as many recordings as you can, go for it, because that website is still going to be running as normal until the 18th of September 2026, which is about three weeks away, is it? One. Nope, that wasn't, that wasn't very good. What am I doing? Was it one, two, three.

One, two, three weeks, and one, two, three, four days. Three weeks and four days. Guess what's in two days? It's my birthday.

Birthday. Wow. So yeah, it's actually ChatGPT has built my website.

And it's taken stuff from the other website and put it onto this website. And it's, oh man. Seriously, it's, I can't believe it's way better than my website is.

It's already and it did it in I don't know how many hours it took, because I just let it do it. But it shows the design, it was still the same design as, what am I doing? Newest first. Nope, that's not what I wanted to happen.

Podcast is latest. Right. Okay.

There's little tweaks I'm going to be making between now and the 18th. And I want to get this to be the most, the bestest website I've ever had. And I'm connecting my podcasts to the website.

Okay. And yeah, just basically do bit by bit. As we go.

It's not live yet. This one I've got, it's all saved. And I can actually, I can look at it online.

It's under a special like domain stuff. So it's not connected to my website. Domain, jasonnewland.com, but it will be on the 18th.

But I just can't believe kind of surprised at how, how good it looks. Compared to what it just before what it looks like now on the actual website. The live one.

It's, yeah. So this will be live on the 18th. And there's the journal.

Yeah, I won't be adding anything to the journal until the 18th because I can't, I can't log in. I can't use it to do any journals. Or can I? No, I don't think I can.

So there won't be any new journals until the 18th. That's okay. And in the meantime, I'm going to be doing some uploading or reorganizing and just tidying up the podcasts themselves.

I mean, if I look, podcast apps, podcast apps. Oh, okay. So, so basically, I'm just going through each page.

So please do. Please. Yes.

Podcast apps, add links to page to page. Now I have to put in the name of the page, copy and paste that podcast apps. And what it would do is just go into the old website or the current website and just copy that information and post it into the new website.

So I wonder how long that will take. So it's working now. If there's anything that you'd, it says I'll replace the links being reconnected box with working links for Spreaker, Apple, podcasts, Spotify, and all the other ones.

I'll recover the existing destinations from your Shopify pages where possible. So yeah, it's doing all that. If there's anything that you would like to have on my website that would be useful, that isn't on there at the moment, then please let me know.

And I can try and add it. I mean, I don't, I don't know what the limitations are, to be honest, but I'm always up for doing something a bit different. At the moment, I did ask ChatGPT as they are hosting my website.

Is it going to cost me more money than I'm paying them already to to use the service? And they said no, not at the moment. But that might change in the future. So if they suddenly change and say, oh, we want 100 pound a month to host your website.

It has said that they can just take the code from the entire website and just put it into another host. So I can sign up with another host and just transfer the entire website over with code or a template or whatever, with the whole thing into another podcast host, which may just cost like 30 or 40 quid a month. So it's all being saved, which is pretty good.

Yeah, I'm quite pleased with this. I wasn't best impressed to start with. I'll be honest.

But now it's come around. And I'm okay with it. I'm kind of like, yeah, it's all right.

It's worked out. What is going to work out? All right. I just and this might have been what I said, this wasn't an option.

Until recently, the building websites on chat, gbt, or any other AI is a relatively new thing. To get to have it hosted for me. They've got an actual section called sites.

So yeah. The amount of things it can do now that it couldn't do even a month ago. Continuously upgrading, updating, adding new things.

That's why you know, when I mentioned AI and like, I'm no expert on anything, but I'm not an expert on AI. But I do use it every day. And I've been using it pretty much since chat gbt launched to the public.

I started using it. So four years ago, I think. And I just played with it to start with playing with it.

See if I get make images, searching for things, using it for the podcast, you know, for Trivia Tuesday and for just basic kind of stuff. Not really using it for what it's built for. Because there's so much more you can do or so much more that I can do.

That I don't even know about. But I've realized the best thing now is to think creatively. One of two things is ask what it can do.

You know, how can you help my website? What would make my website better? A better listening experience for visitors or better visiting experience. Or with like with the journal, I can say, well, I want to add a journal. I want to be able to add an entry on the phone when the website is up.

And I also want to add a transcript of that recording. And I want to be able to edit that transcript automatically. And just publish.

And it's like, you know, and then also want to be able to have it so that it's recorded, my voice is recorded. So that can also be played if someone wants to listen to it, whether it's for 30 seconds or five, 10 minutes, that journal entry. So it's things like that.

And then before, I'd have to get the code. And I put it into Shopify and have to keep maneuvering around trying to find the right place to change the code. Now I don't have to do any of that because ChatGPT will change the code itself because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the website is controlled by ChatGPT.

And me, but you know, in the sense of, if I say, well, I'd like to change the, the color of the background of every, every page, I don't have to look into the CSS or look into the, say that like I know what it means. But I don't have to sort of change any code myself. ChatGPT does it.

And if I don't like that color, so change it back to how it was or change it to a different color. Or what do you recommend? Because what it can do is it's got access to view visually every website on the internet, like pretty much instantly. You know, and so what's, what's the best one for the design for the kind of website that I'm doing for the service I'm offering free and like, yeah, I'm not trying to sell it.

I'm not trying to say, come on everyone, join ChatGPTPTPT. But you know what? I like it. And it's saved me an awful lot of problems.

It's got me out of a hole today. It, you could say it perhaps is part of the reason why I got myself into a hole to start with. Because I think that I'm not 100% sure, but I think that by messing around or by changing the code in Shopify, which I don't think Shopify likes.

So by changing the code, and then by trying to automatically let ChatGPT log in to Shopify and make changes on its own. I'm just guessing, but I don't think it liked that. It was, I guess, kind of a security issue.

So yeah, maybe the problem was kind of caused by myself, but not meaning to. So the podcast apps are all up and running now. That whole web page is now changed and is working again.

Let's see, what's the next one? The contact page, what's on there? Email, JSON, Facebook group. That's the trick, isn't it? Really, that's all we need. Email, JSON, open email.

Ah, no, I want, I also want like a, like a box that you can send a message in as well. A message in a box. Archive.

I tell you what, this is really impressive, is you can search. So I've got 79 different collections, 79 different podcasts. A lot of them are like, you know, Let Me Bore You To Sleep, 951 to 1000, things like that.

Then there's like the main podcasts, which are listed under podcasts, which is, is it 11 I've got? No, 17, I've got 17. But under archive, click on archive, you can, that's weird, my phone just, there's a letter, what happened there? Outlook is checking for an updated version, go away. With here, with this search, you can search the recording archive.

Searching by recording title or open a podcast collection and browse up to 100 episodes at a time. Or if I was going to say, August 2020. Search archive.

And there are 100 recordings from August 2020. Blimey. And this is before I started doing the different.

Yeah, wow. This is before I started doing the different lengths of recordings. 100 recordings, maybe there's more, but it's only allowing 100 at a time.

So if I put in 14th, 14th of August, be specific, but hey, 14th of August 2020. I wonder if anything comes up. 14.

Oh, that's interesting. It's not 14th of August is coming up. But it's it's showing up different years.

Yeah. I wonder how I could look into that and get them to fix that anyway. So it's not an issue.

Not really an issue anyway, but it could get Yeah. But if I put in August 2020, 14th, that's the only that's the only day I expect to come up. Not 2019 or the 25th of August.

I'll put in the 19th of August 2020. So that's coming up at the top. But then I got 2025.

Okay, so there's a few. So yeah, I can get that fixed. So it only brings up the exact search that's been asked for.

But if I was to put in what's a weird search, but something that if I put in migraine, for example, migraine, has that got any? See if I've got anything for any recordings for that. I don't know if I have or not. No recordings.

I'm sure I had one for maybe one of the old ones. Okay. Just check I haven't misspelt it.

So what about headache, head ache? I don't tell me there's nothing there. Oh, yes, there is. One, two, there's two ones, two for headache.

Nice three. No, really? 10 hours to? I think three. So let's say another one.

Nailbiting. Nailbiting. Nailbiting.

Okay, so you got one. Stopped nailbiting with hypnosis 2017. You got hypnosis for nailbiting 2025.

There's two of them, one with music, no music. You got stopped nailbiting with hypnosis 2011. And then there is the this is requesting request for Beck.

Stop extreme nailbiting 2025. That's an hour and 33 minutes. Hypnosis for nailbiting.

It's 13 minutes long. It's a short one, isn't it? The one in 2011 was an hour and one minute. And then I've got the Jason's Bedtime Storytime number 13, the golden snail.

So I guess they've I suppose it sounds it's got the word nail in it, isn't it? And right, I forgot. What else could I I'm just trying to think of something random for putting leg. Leg.

Oh, stress and pain relief one open window and stretching legs. And I got a recording Let Me Bore You To Sleep number 1416 thin legs. Then relax asleep hypnosis daily focus on your legs.

Okay, so yeah, it's probably not what it requires for eyes. We're putting eyes. This is exciting.

Eyes. There must there's got to be a few. So what I'll do is I will I'll have a little like where a button you can press.

So you could put hypnosis recordings. Let Me Bore You To Sleep hypnotic recordings or so three different and you can choose which one you want. When you do the search, because if you're looking for hypnosis recording, and you put in the word sleep.

Well, to be fair, if you put in a word sleep hypnosis, you're going to get is quite hard to find because so many to find an individual one. But so maybe I can make it a bit like, you know, when you have those drop downs, and you can start adding, like with Amazon, it's like, well, I want something a certain price. And I want something that's got that got that got that got that.

Or like a holiday website, you know, so I want a bathroom. I don't have to share bathroom with someone while it's not holidays. But and full catering half catering, just breakfast included, no breakfast, balcony, no balcony, Wi Fi, and just click the ones you want and then it, it goes through the search and brings up, you might end up with only like four hotels out of hundreds.

So maybe I could do something like that. Nearly four weeks to put it all together. And test it because that's the thing can test it.

So eyes, lots of things here. Because this will be this will be good as well. Because you click on whichever one you want.

So this one is keep your eyes open till I say so and relax. 19th of February 2021. So you can listen.

There's a player on the page. Or you could download a free just click the download button, and instantly downloads. Done.

No form to fill in no name to give nothing. Just downloads completely straight away. Or more from this collection.

And depend on where it comes from. So this was a relaxation for stress and stuff. So it opens up that whole podcast.

And then at the end of it says show the next hundred recordings. I'm falling in love with my own website. This is the kind of artist I've always wanted to be.

I quite like the idea of having an artist paint the picture for me, but I tell the artist what to paint. And maybe that's not very artistic. But I kind of know what I want.

And I used to build websites, I used I need basic code. At the time, it was enough to build websites. And now it's well above, you know, out of my knowledge base.

But I still know what I want. And, and yeah, this is going to be a good website. And I'm wondering, because when I come to make an app, which is my, my plan.

If I make the website exactly how I want the app to be, or have a whole section have like a separate section, where it's an app, like a whole design of an app. With all the things that I want to do and include in it, and integrate into it, and then say, make me an app from this. And although it's going to cost money to put it together and to run it and everything, it will be much easier than for me just to say, well, I want an app, but I don't quite know how I want it designed or how I want it.

You know, I know what I want on it, but I can actually do it now. Based upon this, because the app will just be the same as a website really. Unless I just did an app for the Let Me Boyd Asleep podcast, and not anything else.

So it's just a Let Me Boyd Asleep. And you can go back and find all the old stuff and the new stuff because you know, I do intend to keep making new recordings. Oh, yes.

But on that note, I've been talking for nearly two hours. What's gone there? Podcasts, I thought it did change to podcasts. Featured collection, podcasts.

I asked for them to change that. And they haven't. I'm pretty sure.

Oh, I know what they did. Podcasts. The problem is.

Okay, right. Yeah. Actually, no, it's fine.

Because it's got hypnosis for sleeping deeply and Let Me Boyd Asleep featured collections. Side by side. The problem with that is if I don't make any hypnosis recordings, they're both identical, because I put them on both.

I put the Let Me Boyd Asleep on that one and the Let Me Boyd Asleep podcast. If I make a hypnosis recording, that doesn't go on to the Let Me Boyd Asleep podcast. So from a first view, first viewing, it looks almost the same.

But it's not if you go down, you'll see this. Well, it is for now, but I haven't made a hypnosis recorded for a week or two now. Oh, well, that's fine.

It's all about fine tuning. Tuning. So I'm going to go.

Thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy. And be gentle with yourself.

You deserve to feel safe. Lots of love. Bye.
