Car Sold! (or is it?)

Yesterday the car was sold for £3600 (that would be Weds). I sent the invoice off to the buyer straight off then, about half an hour later he wrote me saying he'd won the car, can I send my address and phone number to him (which I'd already done of course).

I did as requested and have heard nothing since and I am concerned about it. Apart from anything else I think it's impolite to get to the check-out and ignore the sales assistant and not get out the wallet, it's just rude. That's what it feels like this guy is doing. I know there could be all sort of reasons for it but it's not the way I work. Let's just hope he contacts me later on today (Thursday)

I have someone from the DWP (benefits people) to chat to me about Zoey's benefit's and whether or not she can handle her own affairs. Currently she can't but there may be an occasion when she can so it makes it a little awkward to deal with such matters without her there.

John's hair didn't turn out as planned on Tuesday and went what appeared to be ginger but today it is more of a light brown and really looks quite sexy. Anyway, he doesn't like it and wants it more blonde so after the person from the DWP has been here I am going to attack it again with the peroxide.

My hair annoyingly looks OK yet I dislike it being this long myself. It's so frustrating when I am receiving compliments like I have not done in years to a style I don't much like!

I was a little cross with Nick earlier but on re-reading his text I misunderstood. I read it as 'can we do lunch tomorrow' whereas he actually just said 'lunchtime'. So I was half expecting to get lunch supplied and it didn't happen. Thankfully, if this guy actually collects the car I see no reason to give him any more diesel then he needs to get to a garage so I can't really be too concerned about what I am using the diesel for!

Charlie was round earlier and so was Robin which probably worked out well as the two of them did some chatting about the theatre.

Robin was bad earlier and was refusing to eat again. He'd not eaten much all day and had been sick too so it was obviously important for him to eat. There seems to be an increase in such incidents of late which normally means he's about to hit a low. It's just so terribly important that he gets back to eating properly again even if he doesn't have a main meal but just eats 4-5 times a day small snacks of reasonably healthy food.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
