  • thanks.

  • Adventure had engaged high.

  • Everyone's on.

  • Welcome to the first video, the first Blogger, Miss Video Off 2019.

  • As you'll know from my previous video, I have explained exactly what's gonna be happening this sort of month and what we're gonna be doing.

  • I usually do Christmas with the MGs, which is just basically.

  • It means I get to take things a little bit more relaxed in the sense that if I can't upload, it's not the end of the world, because these things do happen.

  • So as much that would explain.

  • It's already in my video that went live last Monday.

  • I wanted to jump on here on dark, this video basically ah, little bit differently this year.

  • The first, a blob, is usually a video that does exceptionally well for me on dhe.

  • It's a really exciting video me to put out.

  • I love this time of year.

  • I love Christmas.

  • You guys know this?

  • I got married at Christmas, and we had the most gorgeous winter wedding ever on dhe.

  • I get very much into the Christmas spirit, and Christmas just takes over on I love it.

  • I love it.

  • I love to be extra with my Christmas decorations and go all out because my family is not particularly Christmassy.

  • We used to spend Christmas is with my grandparent's on that always was really Christmassy.

  • But as it stands now, my family is not particularly Christmassy.

  • But Ali's family is so Allie, and I knew that we wanted to make our home like just the most festive and lovely experience.

  • However, this video isn't going to be my usual tree decoration house decoration video that is coming.

  • A promise is coming on.

  • I have been working really hard to make it super lovely and special.

  • So please don't click off Christian City M Jeez, Jessie is coming.

  • But this video I just wanted I wanted to do something different this year on Dhe last year here in Milton Keynes, there is a bit of a problem.

  • There is a very apparent problem with homeless people on dhe.

  • Last year, I would spend a lot of time down in London during log mus on it was freezing.

  • So cold, so so called on dhe.

  • All they had to do was walk from my train to my taxi.

  • My taxi would take me to my house I would get into my warm house, I would get into my warm clothes into my warm bed, and I would just go to bed.

  • However, that small walk from the station to the taxi, you would see humans, people lying in various places around Milton Keynes train station.

  • And so I would acknowledge that and I would see these people.

  • And I think to myself, My God, how did they coat?

  • Because I am the coldest person on earth.

  • Like everyone knows this about me.

  • If you've been here a while, if you're no, I travel with a blanket.

  • I travel with special heat warming socks.

  • I travel with the jumper.

  • I travel with a coat at all times.

  • If I go to my friend's house, I take a blanket and a dressing gown like I'm always cold.

  • And so me seeing these people on the street, I was like They must be so old, like I can't even imagine like it's sub zero temperatures here in the UK already on dhe.

  • It was at 30 seconds I saw them on.

  • Then I carried on with my life on Dhe, yet I didn't forget about them on.

  • So Carrie and I had a chat and we decided that come this year, we wanted to do something.

  • Thio At least try and help people in those situations and just do something.

  • Basically, it's gonna be tiny in comparison to what these people go through.

  • It's gonna be nothing, but we wanted to use this time of year to as much as I love to celebrate the magic of Christmas and how cool up get in it.

  • I wanted to do something that would also make us all understand how lucky we are on DDE, what other people could be going through and are going through and living every single day.

  • So there is a reason why I'm wearing familes tonight.

  • I am going to be sleeping on the streets in London with my best friend and I'm petrified.

  • I'm absolutely petrified.

  • I've never, ever, in my life done anything like this.

  • I'm not a narc camper.

  • I've never been a camper.

  • I think the most I've ever done is slept on a barge boat.

  • But that's still indoors.

  • I've never really been that way, but I knew that I had Thio experienced this for myself to appreciate what these people go through on.

  • I knew that I wanted to share this on my channel.

  • I am doing this with CenterPoint UK and Center Point is a charity that helps homeless people age 16 to 25 on basically what their mission is to help those people get jobs on Dhe.

  • Live independently again, which I think is brilliant.

  • It's not just looking to hand things out to them.

  • It's actually looking to help them invest during their lives.

  • So that was why we decided to do this with center point.

  • And that's what's happening today.

  • So I have my adventure hair on Carrie obviously put this herring for me.

  • So insert picture of my best friend during my hair in preparation for today's adventure.

  • Obviously, I'm saying that this is an adventure, but this is the reality of so many people's lives on dhe.

  • I'm no playing that down in any way, shape or form.

  • But this is This is going to be completely out of my comfort zone now.

  • I do also want to know that this is a controlled environment, So the safety reasons and this is the funny thing is that it's the safety that we are in a controlled environment.

  • Yet that's not what people on the streets get.

  • They don't get controlled environments.

  • They are out in the middle of the streets by themselves.

  • So this in no way shape or form, is going to replicate what these people experience on a day to day basis.

  • It's not gonna replicate how frightening it must be for them.

  • How how utterly hopeless.

  • It must make them feel on what almost impossible struggle it must be.

  • This is not going to mimic that.

  • But it is going to be sub zero temperatures.

  • I am going to be sleeping on cardboard.

  • The only thing I am allowed to bring with me in terms off like sleeping equipment is a sleeping bag on my pillow.

  • There are probably people out there that don't even have those luxuries.

  • But this is not to mimic that.

  • This is going to be a wake up call, no matter how I do it.

  • But this is just to raise awareness for what these people go through, and I'm going to document the entire thing here for you on YouTube.

  • I don't want this to be a depressing thing.

  • This is going to be an uplifting thing.

  • This is going to be attracting attention on dhe raising awareness for something that is amazing On what center point is doing is amazing.

  • On what these people achieve and go on to achieve is amazing on Dhe.

  • So I am going to be documenting mine and my best friend's night sleeping rough in London on dhe.

  • I'm taking you guys with me.

  • I will be donating a portion of my absense to center point.

  • I also have a justgiving page where I have to raise a certain amount of money.

  • I have to raise that.

  • So, guys, I really need you to help.

  • I understand this time of year is expensive for everyone.

  • So whatever How small you can give it.

  • I would really, really appreciate it.

  • I will also obviously be donating from my own pocket to center point as well.

  • And it will be going into my justgiving page, which will then be set on to center point and hopefully go on to help so many people.

  • But yeah, I'll leave the link to the justgiving page in the description box down below.

  • If you can donate anything, I would hugely appreciate it and the people that live this life every single day with appreciate it as well.

  • So without further ado, let's let's do this.

  • I'm going Thio.

  • Yes, I'm nervous.

  • I am very nervous.

  • I'm No, I don't think it's quite hit me.

  • I haven't been outside today.

  • I don't think it's even hit me.

  • How cold this is gonna be.

  • Yeah, let's do this.

  • So, in order to keep warm, I have a sports bra kind of cropped up on underneath.

  • I've got a vest and then I've got thermals on thermal leggings Have also got these sort of heat regulating socks or something.

  • They're like camping socks on.

  • I have just run up the stairs.

  • Not very fit.

  • Toiletries wise.

  • Obviously, these are luxuries that I am able to take with me.

  • People that are on the streets don't necessarily get these.

  • I've got my Beanie hat to keep my head warm, just taking a little bit of like CC cream and some lip balm on some concealer.

  • I'm taking a water bottle.

  • Some my seller wipes from orbit suggest to at least take what's on my face off any dirt or anything like that.

  • I obviously won't be washing I won't be able to wash.

  • I should be able to brush my teeth.

  • That's probably about I'm not taking a hairbrush because my hair will not be getting any TLC.

  • I need to find a back pack.

  • I'm sure he's got random back if I don't own a backpack, so I need to get myself about Maxie families.

  • Got one.

  • I don't know where he keeps all of this stuff on.

  • I can't get ahold of him because he's on the other side of the world at the moment.

  • Keep that.

  • Uh huh.

  • I just realized I do have a hunter backpack, so I found that.

  • Perfect.

  • So this has got to get all of my stuff in that.

  • I'm gonna need that.

  • I'll probably carrying my sleeping bag on my pillow separately.

  • I'm gonna take some extra layers.

  • Obviously, I need to So many layers.

  • A coat hat, Gloves of whacked, another layer on underneath.

  • It's just a police I've got underneath my lumberjack coat.

  • I packed a few more toiletries in here like my toothbrush.

  • Got the bamboo toothbrush?

  • It's in toothpaste, Lando, antiseptic and lip balm.

  • That's pretty much it.

  • I've got a light.

  • I've got my extra layer.

  • This is what I plan on putting over my thermals.

  • When I go to bed, I got scarf, gloves, pillow.

  • Andi, my my sleeping bag is downstairs in the office.

  • I've charged batteries for my camera, so there were no excuse on.

  • I've also charged a battery pack on my phone so that I am able to keep my phone on and document everything for stories as well.

  • So that's all going in.

  • There are taxi or good, very dark.

  • Our taxi has just arrived.

  • It's gonna take us down to the station having a bit of a nightmare.

  • Seems like the Internet in the entire area has gone down had I'm frantically trying to upload tonight's video before I go.

  • So at least that's all done.

  • Seems to be doing a bit better now.

  • Got 20 minutes, but yeah, bit frantic on.

  • I feel like I should be making sure that I have everything, but I'm not doing that.

  • I'm uploading my video.

  • Carrie's gone to the nearest village to try and upload, but it wasn't any better.

  • So what makes you think it's in like the whole place?

  • But everything's by the front door?

  • Were set.

  • I think we've even got yeah, snacks and toothpaste and self so all of the luxuries to get us through that most people wouldn't have in this situation.

  • That is a very good idea.

  • I'm pretty much wearing what I wore when we went hiking in Ireland.

  • That was the epitome of all the gear and no idea.

  • But it's standard me in good stead then.

  • So I'm pretty sure it should do the same.

  • Now, I've got extra clothes in my backpack.

  • Although this time I have a waterproof coat to take with me.

  • It's my snowboarding jackets, little bit garish.

  • I have not snowboarded in a very, very long time, but it will do the trick.

  • You definitely have to grow up very quickly.

  • I think that's where sometimes looking back, I didn't really have much of a childhood go up very, very, very quickly.

  • And I think that's what sense what really helps build on that.

  • It just didn't help for where I was at.

  • And then I kind of so process because that wasn't what I came with friends.

  • 30 in the morning and I have just got home.

  • My throat is incredibly sore of this on my skin carry day in, which is a luxury in itself.

  • That is quite possibly the hardest thing that I've ever done.

  • Not to mention the fact that that wasn't even a fraction of what homeless people go through and live every single day.

  • Like we were undercover and the rain was pouring like pouring.

  • It was I was this close from the ground like that to the grass is coming here.

  • I didn't even realize until the morning even think about the spider situation of the last thing on my mind.

  • It's just so funny to think about me in the beginning, when I was, you know, packing my concealers in my by Terry CC serums and how ignorant and just naive I was, too.

  • How about it is gonna be because in those situations, when you are sleeping so poorly, when you are tired and getting ill because you're calling I had so many layers on, but because we're lying on the ground, it's like the ground was taking our heat.

  • And I just love that I thought that I would give any kind of crap about how I looked when I woke up in that situation like, Was I really going to go and put concealer on my face?

  • No, I was not.

  • I wanted to just Carla and like, even in my head, like my brain can't function because I have not slept.

  • I've had such poor sleep on DDE.

  • It's must be like a vicious circle for these people like How are they supposed to get out of these situations when everything is pointing on DDE, dragging them back down like it's like that condemned from the very beginning?

  • Because it just takes one night one night?

  • And you are you just lose yourself like I'm in bed.

  • I'm gonna get two hours sleep because I have to drive to Birmingham today.

  • And how did they get out of that when that's their reality, and then living this every night?

  • I'm gonna go to sleep tomorrow.

  • I'll wake up and I'll be fine because I've had my good night's sleep and, you know, I'm back to normal and I'm in my nice bed and warm home, and that's no.

  • And I think I know in the beginning of this video I said I was like, You know, I know it's a really hard time for everyone on dhe.

  • You know what's really nice about it?

  • Don't don't stretch yourself on.

  • I still mean that Don't stretch yourself, but if you can donate, please, please do.

  • I'm donating.

  • I'm going to be giving my own money, and I'm gonna be giving a portion of my absense to sent a point that you my brain, is not even working.

  • I'm going to give a portion of my attempts to them.

  • So don't worry.

  • I'm doing I've not only am I sleeping out, but I'm also donating.

  • There's no way I'm no, but you can to so many of you can, even if it's just £5 like that could make such such a difference.

  • Yeah, that was horrendous.

  • But anyway, if anything, you know, I know that Carrie and I, we have, like, a laugh and a joke.

  • And that is how Carrie and I navigate situations in our lives where, you know, we're probably a bit out of our comfort zone.

  • We use humor to kind of keep us going.

  • I hope that no one feels that we we were detracting from the situation.

  • It was very much a social environment where we were on dhe.

  • It was just all in the name of a good cause on dhe.

  • As much as Carrie and I had fun, it was very real When we actually went to bed.

  • Most people stayed up past midnight, so it was very difficult going to sleep.

  • People were very loud.

  • Then through the night That was one particular girl who obviously I don't know whether she has night terrors or what was going on, but she would just every so often shout in her sleep.

  • So every couple of minutes should just go.

  • Uh, like, the whole night, I couldn't believe it.

  • And then at four o'clock, everyone decided that that was the time to go.

  • So we weren't sleeping anymore because everywhere we weren't getting picked up until six.

  • But everyone decided that four o'clock go.

  • So that was that.

  • But yeah, so way.

  • We were so acute last night.

  • Carriers like, let's do this every year.

  • And then this morning, Carrie was like, We're not doing this.

  • Every year we've done it.

  • We can take it off.

  • We can say we've done it.

  • We never do this again.

  • Like my skin as well feels horrendous, because obviously I didn't get to wash my face.

  • I don't get to brush my teeth.

  • And we had curry for dinner like there was no facilities to brush a t.

  • So not only were you I mean we got Porta lose, which again is something that they wouldn't have got yet they were her enders.

  • Horrendous you had to use the sterilizing foam toe wash your hands.

  • No, that that was gross.

  • It By the end of it, I was like, doing well.

  • I'm help holding this in until I got him.

  • And that's why I did.

  • Anyway, this is the end of lago Estate, Day one.

  • And I promise you, everything gets very, very festive after this tomorrow.

  • I will not look like this.

  • Okay, A pinky promise I won't live like this tomorrow.

  • We're going shopping.

  • Okay, which is gonna be so much fun.

  • But I wanted to do this because everything is so indulgent.

  • And so, you know, it's just I live in a bubble, and I know that I know I do.

  • And I wanted to do this not just for me, but I wanted to share it with you guys because just so that we all keep that in mind.

  • Me most of all, I hold my hands up, I I live in a bubble now, Andi, I think the biggest thing that was, like, a shock to my system.

  • And I'm gonna try not to cry because remember, since links left, I always cry with things, but I don't know if you heard it on the camera.

  • But there was a girl up on stage and she was like, You know, me and my mom, We were.

  • We were best friends on dhe.

  • We were everything.

  • And then she was bereavement in my family and that was it.

  • Our relationship is kind of over and it restrained.

  • And so I left.

  • And then I sew for soft, and then I I went to my grandma's on.

  • That is literally that is the exact same thing that happened to me.

  • So growing up, my mom was like the apple of my eye.

  • Then when I hit my teens, I I resent our relationship became very, very strained.

  • Very.

  • I mean, it was such a volatile relationship on DDE.

  • Up until the point, you know, I left, I traveled, I went to university.

  • It was actually when I came back from university, you know, I was riddled with student debt.

  • I was in a not very good, not very healthy relationship.

  • I ended up back living with her.

  • I think I was sleeping on her sofa on dhe.

  • The situation just reached its peak.

  • It was decided that it was best that I leave.

  • I had nowhere to go is when Ali and I had just first met and I was like, You come and stay with me And I was like, I'm not coming.

  • I don't even know you that well.

  • But I ended up going to live with my grandma on.

  • My grandma helped me get back on my feet on Dhe know everyone has a grandma or a passing like a grandma.

  • So that's when we come in.

  • And we have to be that grandma and help people get back on their feet because my grandma let me come and live with her, even though I was an hour from where I was working.

  • I don't know if I told you by Even before going to my grandma's, I tried Thio apply for government housing because I had no money.

  • Even though I had a job, I'd only been in the job for two weeks.

  • I just left university.

  • I had nothing, absolutely nothing.

  • I was like, I don't have a deposit to get a flat on my own, but because I had a full time job, I was I had nothing, so I couldn't get myself like on my feet without help on my grandma.

  • Was that help?

  • But luckily, my grandma let me stay there, but long enough for me to save the deposit for House.

  • And then by that point man in Ali's relationship, Hood progressed so much that we bought a house together.

  • So anyway, that was just such an eye opening experience to sit there and listen to because I've always like I think I've said a couple of times on my channel.

  • I had nowhere to live.

  • I don't think I realized how just one small detail of that story.

  • If that hadn't been the case, I could have ended up on the streets like the girl did on stage on DDE.

  • That is frightening.

  • Upsy friending.

  • So, yeah, it was an eye opening experience that from now on I promise it's gonna be all the positive stuff.

  • But throughout blogged Miss, I'm gonna have the link in my description box.

  • Andi, I'll be raising money for CenterPoint throughout this, because is that time of year?

  • It's tough.

  • It's cold, it's wet.

  • And what those people must go through, I don't know.

  • Anyway, I'm gonna go to bed now because I have a lot to do today.

  • Something happen 10 30 hope I get a pardon.

thanks.
