The Overflow flatlined of retail prep ( Lockdown Stage 15)

I'll Be honest and say this is nearing to the final posts of this year, well maybe 2 left to go until the Review of the year (Just Started it) but this will be the final Lockdown Stage of 2020 for me at least anyway. Things are ready to go since the attempt of more tiers is back again. Videos are a no go minus one or so, but here we go.  



Novembers final week. 


Well its been days since the PS5 was released, times were really changing and well it was also the time, A PC was to be built and more cycling at night for visits, time stops for very little these days. Plus it was finally overdue to build a gaming PC. 

The parts for the build 



Halfway there 



Built and then the cable tidy


But it should go on, it was looking like the final week and also adverts have been getting in the way which on these 2 week, i was experimenting with games from this weird games publisher from hong kong and it felt like pure gambling, no doubt about it, which especially with how friends dealt with gambling, it really is something of knowing when to stop. Cash Solitaire is great for the first $70 but it never goes high. Even an Magisk adblocker didn't help block the repetitive ads with people being poorly lip synced and its just nonsense. But for now it was still time to go walking and work was still full of visits and it was also the stress with the Bike Tyres hopefully finally fixed, or so I thought.


The ride at night on the way back from a long day

Then it comes to the punch and thread, it was catching up before December was upon us, and also new plans meant i had to treat my mum and dad to a special advent calendar, since next year a big relief was taken from my shoulders but that is too private for me to explain. And Also for the first time in recent memory, we put the Christmas tree up before December begins, well especially after how bad this year has been, which well I'll be able to talk about it. 

This is the Tree



The £3.00 each for the Advent Calendars 


We then also see ideas on cooking wrapped pickle or something that might work, but it is a big if to go with and that can also be fried, maybe to try with peperoni or something else, to maker fake sushi, its worth a shot in 2021. That and those scam calls nearly make you want to just jump out in the front of a car to get the insurance claim. 



















We then turn in the day of starting to make some Crispy seaweed after talking to Sugarwater about it and she shown how good it was and using Nest Home, a recipe appeared and the first time i think i went too salty.

a Second batch of PS5s 

This was then the last of the digital consoles arriving in, which I'm not gonna lie, is a tough one to sell, but with time comes customers, the disc version is mostly the demanded nightmare. Which later on is the final batch of them.. 

Plus it was also time to realised is been over a year since Finley came to move in with us and boy he is happier and well also well fed. 

Finley having a selfie 

Which then leads to the final weekend In November, which well turns out to be the second to last day off before Christmas and well it was looking like yet another pair of jeans ripped and well that means only 3 pairs + 1 posh one to use. and to celebrate the end of the month, it was the last one of the Pop Tarts to use up. 

The Mixed Sunday mean with leftovers and pop tarts

Which then it was the final Monday and  work day before December was to hit. Since turns out the Tyre burst after the first visit and riding on a flat tyre always is dangerous, but it was a long day and the nights turn in so quick now.  But it was one bumpy  ride and especially having to go up hills and it really does make one tough ride and even the main road where car crashes have happened and one wrong move and i could be dead. Luck i was careful. And alas then it comes into December. The final month of this really crappy year. 

December.  

Well, here it is, the last month, and we begin with a peanut butter advent calendar. 


Peanut Butter Cups for advent is cool 



Then it was the time of the last vlog uploaded so far, the time to prepare for work to go back to some normal. Enjoy the time-lapse of what to come for this and this was the final day the Tripod from Lidl worked which was bought back in early February, my god that is feeling longer than I thought.







Which finally made chance to make the place look well like it was open 2 months ago to that exact date. 
The shop getting a bit tidier



The Gaming goes to the shape it should be 

Outside with the Lights on

And then most of my life ends up working for the next few days, since this coming weekend was the last Sunday I was going to have off, with some chats happening, the sneak steps of more commitment and feeling buzzed for the future and well things slightly heading in a better direction. Plus shire horeses on the street and more casseroles you have to add extras in to be tasty. 









The Hall and the trees



shire horses stand (yes there is one behind) 



Which then leads to the final day I had off before working for the rest of the year. Which was an early birthday celebration for my sister, which is the time for planning the Christmas videos, which looks like both a Christmas message and also a Christmas day vlog, since half of the events are cancelled this year so more time to get it done. 










                                                                                    

But this really means a chance to see family carefully in the bubble formed according to that law which doesn't make sense, but we follow what we have to know, but it ended in a nice reflection of happiness, it was nice to have a nice walk with mum and dad first on the moors, even with the damp weather. 

The view from the moors for a morning/midday walk


Which then with little eating, it was more time to plan for a afternoon tea of sorts which also includes those slate things to make it look really pish posh, which then by around 2pm we did head off, which on the way we had to check for a grave for a friend of mums that passed 2 months ago. But then the sister called and we were on our way to our nans and then it was time to unload and prepare the food. 

The platter of food and the cake slate 


Which then it was nice to enjoy and catch up with family which it did even lead to selfies and that felt special, plus it was iPads knowing i had to repair them in the end, which made me think slightly. But the food was really good. With pork and sage rolls and ritz and even posh crisps, felt and even special white chocolate fudge brownies.

The plate of mine of afternoon tea 

But we then decide on the next day of more cycling for work, Monday was bearable and well just about manageable in the ice, a few slips here and there with the pedal, but the tyres were coping just about. But well it was soon time to deal with Crash ice physics, like this really was dangerous, I did argue with my parents about leaving in the morning. Which that was a mistake, I  managed to get to the morrisons roundabout was slipping badly. So by 9:30 and I nearly parked the bike by mole valley, then slide and run to Yelverton, And by the petrol station, I'm slipping already. This was on the day that a special choice was made 1 year ago. 










Stressed out of my mind, I run back to the bike and then go to work to catch up on things and sort out since some Console orders were getting beyond a joke but that's due to voicemails and payments to make, but the weather was good for that cycle in the afternoon to the inner depths of the valley. 

Parking and making calls 


This was also the best and slightly warmer than the morning on via the route and then it was the  sunset of the city in front of me before passing Buckland abbey then the final call on stock stuff then that was it, time for a long few things to do, which was a relaxing relief but still...work.


The views as cycling down the hill

 


 Now then on that visit, it was taking a long time and the customer did drive me back to tavi which was in the rain then it was a long rewarding meal needed after a long day of exercise and nearly dying in ice physics, which pop tarts were the last of them. 

The meal from coming home to 


Which then helps me to continue from the rest of this week, which for me included work and well, it was time for Cyberpunk to release, 2 people pre ordered it, which was a hope it should do well, especially for an anticipated game of over years, which well loads of marketing to put up at work as the normal vibe, which that means it will be a big one, but well it arrived right on time, But the midnight launch i skipped due to visits and the rain. 

Copies of Cyberpunk



The adverts outside the shop 


Which then it was getting time to have more visits, day after day and also preparing things for the end of the year, since it was very much time to get the year typed up, and i felt there were going to be some distractions, and also some memories to reflect on. But for now it was also watching DrDisrecpect enjoy cyberpunk or skipping half of it but god the streams are long but perfect to watch while catching up. But well soon within less than a few days, one customer wanted to return it, but sales might help the vibe. But it was also a chance to get some Christmas shopping, which this was more presents to wrap in the with gift cards to get next week, but there were some good bargains like stationary sets and also the booze gift sets sine both mum and dad like drinking, not a lot but a bit. 


The shop in lidl for £25 odd

It was also catching up with the second job which I had to do and well now the last 2 sundays before Christmas was a thing, it was making sure things were ready, and repairs were starting to increase so new equipment to get and also it was soon to get presents wrapped up. But it was finally realising the plan to get 2 videos up for Christmas like the message and the vlog of the day. 

As time progressed, work was carrying on and also feelings were building, yes I was getting distracted from different things and more fake conversations but also it makes me wish i could do those things with someone from a long time away. I mean also it was a close shave with what could have been with a project with someone from the past but she backed out of it, and well now its close to being on 5 star (actually it was )  and well i think my hormones kicked up a notch from it, which will be a regret for my productivity, maybe its what I missed, that and sometimes trying my skills at solitaire since having to face no internet from earlier on in the autumn as well. But more food to eat and casserole was needing a spicy kick sometimes. 

The Casserole


And alas most of our story ends, since it was very close to catching up for the second to final time. Plans were going better, friend keeping tabs, and even old friends coming back without realising but that was just one chat at night. But it was getting just that routine of using the time to watch things while typing up since I know i need to get more of it done before its too late. But we also have to lay rest to some plans too, But this was now on the final full week until Christmas and 2 weeks left until the final day of 2020. And Also a good note is that I finally got Youtuber Partnership again which means money will be a bit better this year hopefully. But that and things are coming to a close. The Pets are getting on with each other much better, work is just like always but except much more freedom and also I'm looking forward for my dreams next year to become reality. 

Both the Pets on the bed 


We will catch up near Christmas

A Hot Halloween Catch up

Well, its the end of 10 months of 2016, with 2 months to go before we head into 2017, its a quick look back at whats happened in the past 2 months since our last catch up. In all seriousness, this has been a heck of a 2 months, in terms of new feelings, more money spent, different things to see, popular events and more.


September. 


Now most of this month was quiet until the last week, with the second date as well as the mini little videos done with a week to myself before October began. But as all months go, A dogwalking video was the start. Now this was talking about the contest which I entered for POWWOW TV. Now that was good news later on in the month. The weather was good for that week too. 




Then it was the time of Emma's Birtday and Mum's, but since Emma has gone and nothing I can do is going to get me a chance with her, it was only one present which was an extra to get for, which was of course a Cycle into Plymouth the day after the Coach station has been open. Wetherspoons Gift Cards are simple ideas for Family presents, maybe I could use that for girls this Christmas if I do but maybe not, but i did pop into a girl i might be buying for to make effort's work that time, which means a tempting idea.




Then it was in between a Family Day out at Lopwell Dam and the important week for myself was a Steambox upgrade, which was ok, Sure I should of ordered a GTX 950 instead of the i3-6100 but it was actually nice to edit videos on the steambox compared to the laptop and making it overheat. Fitting that without a bios reset is a stupid idea but its made me learn a lesson from that. The Celeron sold for £25 or so in the end. The performance in games is better than what I mentioned with Games like Stanley Parable and BallisticNG and Rocket League playing 720 at 60FPS.
.


There was also a birthday meal for Mum's birthday which was going up to the George, that was lush too. Eventually a date there would be amazing but love life isn't that lucky. This was inbetween the dogwalking and work as per usual.

Also PACMAN CE 2 came out and that was a good game, but its a shame i can't play it EVEN with the HD 530 on the 6100 which made me hang my head in shame. If this GTX 1050 Ti arrives, then Next month might be able to show it off nicely, might help sales of them as well. But in between that, it was Dogwalking in various places like Devon Consoles, which is a lovely place too.

Soon it was nearing the important time of the week to myself, getting videos done and also the big date, which time was really feeling long winded, but also it was preparation for that week and products ordered to win, as well as a visit to my sister's flat. The small things really. There was one thing when i attempted to buy some pics ages ago and i casually talked about it with some friends on a rocket league match and then a snapchat fallout about me being a pussy thereafter, ah well.


Also it was this meal that was the most popular to look at in September:



But that was around the time of a final dogwalking before 2 weeks of peace and focus without rosie. This was with a Pokemon Go vibe and the walk was almost 3 hours but a lovely long walk nonetheless. Through Doublewaters, being a gandalf with a stick on a path and more.



Also my earphones died so i ordered some new ones to Review, sadly as of 3 days ago, one side of them has died already, thats under 2 months of use.

The earphons I had used

Then it was actually supposed to be a night out after a review of Shower Gel, but actually i was chatting to a girl i really like on feabie who also added me on FB and Instagram then blocked me on all 3 shortly afterwards in the space of 3 hours, but the rain was appalling so it was no use there. Instead I ended up doing a Review of that Action Cam which is nice but the fisheye and me not having a class 10 sd card puts me off using it more.




Then it was a test video with that, which to be fair, was a meal of Kebabs. The taste was still nice though. Although there was some red in there.

But also it was now a odd E-mail appeared, from POWWOW, which was mentioning that I had WON a prize for the Music Video , which was awesome it was meant to be a time to pick it up during the week i had off but weather and body energy drained me,

Then we have a Ridge Racer 7 Video using the Capture box which was shortly before my second date. This was the important part of September, the best thing, the wet thing and of course the fact we see turtles in a pub thing. This night was something of a good decision and made life more confident for a while, there is still a buzz of it even as i type, but I close my eyes and member what it was like having her on top of me and just kissing her, while talking, it nearly convinced me to go vegan but that i know i can't do.


That shit writing with lottery cards. 

The day after that, I was at my nan's. Which the family would fume if i did this but technically I have told my sister and shown her Gracie but its one of those moments where I look forward to instead of a holiday, which sure i've not had one in 5 years but at least i get half an hour longer with Her next time around if things in love don't go well. But i do think about her more often now. The friday,  I kid you not, a review of a Morrison's Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie, that was lovely too, quite filling and i'm not surprised i was ill before the funnest and most proven night out i've ever done. And before you know it, its October



Also stats:


  • Tinder Matches = 1, it turns out leah was engaged but talked to me on tinder anyway
  • Wooplus (BBW tinder)  = 2. One conversation with a girl in the US
  • Tweets = 246
  • Videos made = 8

October.


We kick this one off with the first and last night out of this year possibly. Which was incredible, from getting Nikitta's Number, a kiss on the cheek from a bbw to running 15 miles in 3 hours, 22 minutes with nipples bleeding by the time I got home. With the Music from CE 2 being featured.

That shows the Vidonn has really been put through its paces. Which then leads us on to the next week, which as it happens, a Cold that stonks appears. Which is sort of good since it means I needed to take it easy, but bad since it means most new videos i could of done, was a no go. I Managed to do 3, okay one was a CE 2 video and then it went onto the Enchilada Tutorial with the spicy seasoning sauce


But now we then head to a first and final shoppping trip for Plymouth, which on a cold is exhausting but I managed to buy a case of my favourite detoxing drink, Aloe Vera juice, for £10 which had 24 bottles inside, but I had to drink 2 of the bottles to be able to fit the rest in my rucksack.

Then it was relaxing this cold off, with the weekend approaching and the biggest vlogging week of my year is about to begin, which before that, my Parents were home and Rosie was back from Kestrel, all happy and not tired and it was like nothing has actually changed since she had been gone, although none of them knew that my life did change with a second date and a big prize on the way to me.

Then it was a slightly redone version of the POWWOW TV Contest, as a trailer for the YT channel, which turned out well, except its blocked in the US so technically its a shit video and I have to make something else.



And then it was time, for the, wait, the contest prize arrived in work. A £200 Drake Circus Giftcard, which means christmas is sorted for me really for family at the very least, so i have £50 or so on each memeber and £50 spare for a girl or 2 to make the effort with if things are bad.

The £200 GiftCard
Then we head to Goose Fair, From a familiar night before, to the nice weather on the Wednesday. Heading into a LED Wednesday night and finally the Saturday Night.










The hated ham and dounut sandwich while was energy for me for editing the vlog. 



Which after that, it was some quiet periods, ok there were some events which were funny, like the Vidonn died on me and luckily there was a replacement at home.

A photo posted by Mattie LT Marker (@omracerfaps) on



Then we had some blocking, well that came to a funny one when a plus sized blogger blocked me for complimenting on her double chin on instagram. Parts of me ask myself "Are we really saying something "on point" has become an insult now Danielle" but others realise that one compliment is an insult to another, which must of happened in my case and 8/10 girls locally if i compliment them.


But then it was the insane rage about a meal i had when i got home from work on the 18th, like how much do people hate my meals. Technically the explosion of tweets was later but for now. This Nutella and Nacho Sandwich is a shock to them all as a cancer, according to Alex.


Then it was my Thursday off, with phone calls and also Amy asking for food via snapchat, a few days before her bae was arriving home for a costume party the week just gone. /So that £14 was spent from just eat and also it was the last time I might be able to watch her eat but that was just 2 pics of her and the food. By this time as well, was a Pokemon Go dogwalking vlog which might be the last one due to the fun of safetyNet.




We then have another week in work, Sure I did buy Thai Food for a friend on FB as i end up doing a few times a year, which end can be Pricey. But it was also alot of nagging from old friends and random accounts really trolling the food on Twitter and the best thing I, I didn't even know if when it happened until a massive amount of Notifications after work.


Partway between this, was the fun task of having to re do the phone bill again, since it didn't charge via Paypal and i got blocked, a re-setup of it and it worked a few days later. As well as that time that a webmaster for a Chinese Tech news site pretty much said my reviews were not up to standard, well for being paid for them anyway. Sure they might be a bit long winded but the depth is never shown off these days in videos. Then we have another resting period of work with Pot Noodles for Lunch, the usual to stay alive things, fap and concentrate along with the hope of getting some extras and also it was the costume to buy the parts for for the Kerbal Visit to work.

Facts to head out with:

  • Tinder Matches = 4
  • WooPlus (BBW Tinder) Matches = 0
  • People on facebook being a catfish to you asking to send money to get them to fly to the UK = 1
  • Girls food have been bought for  = 2
  • Roleplay on Feabie  = 1 

The Resolutions:

This is the last time in the year before we check out at the end, Have we completed and goals, lets see now. 


  • Try not to fap on mornings when i have work - Thats gone
  • Try to have a Holiday or have a week off from work without being called up at least for one day of it - I've had one day where people ring, heck even a customer called my moblile as i was in a shower on Goose Fair Day
  • Try to meet up with a girl from Feabie - This is not getting anyway but as of today, a cute feedee from plymouth signed up, she hasn't replied to my message yet but has checked out my profile, maybe a fireworks date and feeding session if i'm lucky ;). TLDR = Nope
  • Plan a few days out  - I've done one 
  • Tweet More - Thats getting better, 21% better this month
  • Snapchat more  - Recently its been food pics or behind on vlogs, its not ideal but its still more snaps.
  • Get into my first Relationship - No way on this one just yet
  • Cook for a Group of Girls - um nope. 
  • Make some music Mashups - This hasn't worked at all, i'm starting to ponder listing the deck on ebay or my colleague's mate buys it from me.  
  • Play some more Steam Games and Finish at least 2. This might of been done and maybe 3 if i do Finish CE 2 and another Game using that GTX 1050 ti. 
Well thats another months finished and the last 2 moths of 2016 which has been a downward spiral for the world and a mini rollercoaster of small highs and bigger downs for me. But i'll see you in the Fireworks vlog.
