Things are moving ...

Sadly, not at a pace to get the heart pounding but they are moving.

The car has had 7 bids on it dragging it up to a staggering £746! Yes, that's right, less than 25% of the true value ... I just have to admire the optimism of those who have thus far put in an offer.

Earlier I had a guy with a very strong Brummie accent call me saying how keen he was in buying the car and he meant it to, clearly he'd done his homework. Of course, that's not going to go smoothly as he needs to sell his current car first, a Jag 's' type. He said he'd call tomorrow but I am not holding my breath on that one.

Several and I mean, too bloody several companies have called me to sell their services on the pretext of being supplies of buyers ... total bollocks and they get the reply I am in the mood for at the time of calling ... one had the nerve to call back and ask if we got cut off, silly cow.

Matt has come home pissed. He didn't get up for work this morning either so it's good to see that nothing is changing there then, really proving how responsible he is now being. How much of my money this is costing I can but speculate of course but from where I am it looks like there is less money coming in that anticipated because of the lost hours. The mobile phone is clearly still being used despite him being totally out of credit as happened when he called me yesterday. I don't know if he's actually taking money from his account but suspect so. In short this is Matt again burying his head in the sand and assuming this is all going to sort itself out, oh brother.

Daisy is at Kes's house tonight, not one of my better decisions that one as her family are nutters and smoke like troopers. At best she'll be back tomorrow stinking, at worst, the fag smoke won't be from those she was staying with.

My PC is throwing some wobblers at the moment so some serious defragging going on along with some proggies being reloaded and I hope that solves the problem.

I am somehow feeling more optimistic about things yet have no facts to base that upon ... maybe something is in the wind ... should not have had those beans earlier.

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 ...
